1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio radio.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: This was one of those shifts.

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie that when the boss man called

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 3: this used to be the money shift man, this was it.

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: You'd be on.

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 3: Uh, I think what five to nine Central time, six

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 3: to ten Eastern. It's it's one of my favorite I

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 3: love Saturday morning radio. It's it's some sort of thing

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: for me as a as a kid growing up. You know,

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: that's when we would get to listen to sports talk radio.

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 3: So I love this show. I love Whenever and gets

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 3: a Rest because it's a whole. But I had forgotten

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: and maybe Ethan you can refresh my memory, kfig, you

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 3: can refresh my memory. Good morning everybody. At some point

15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: it moved up an hour, and so it used to

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 3: be like five to nine. Now it's four to eight

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: Central time.

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: And this is.

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: Weird because you might say, oh, what's the difference in

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: an hour?

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: Come on, what's an hour?

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 3: I don't know why, but the alarm clock going off

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 3: at three point thirty or three am Central not trying

24
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: to give away that that's loved in a little bit

25
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 3: today boys, as opposed to four am Central time, it

26
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: makes a major difference. So Kevin Figures of course, is

27
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: the trusted co host. Are are our man with a plan?

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: Kay Fike?

29
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: When did this shift?

30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: Is this a year now that this show had started

31
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: this early?

32
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: So this began right around the start of football season

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: when we had our bet MGM show that started up.

34
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: This is all Knows fault.

35
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, so it's all on Brian Know as as

36
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: per usual, it's all Brian Know's fault. He onset the

37
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: Apple card, so it was all him.

38
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 4: Okay.

39
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: Well, you know, kay Fik, I'm really excited today, not

40
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 3: only because I get to hang out with you, not

41
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: only because you know we've got a ton on the docket,

42
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 3: but you and I are big college guys. And as

43
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, I shift right from this show

44
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: today to doing a little college work the rest of

45
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: the day. And I feel like, you know, we've got

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: to start the show with obviously remembering the great Jim

47
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: Brown and talking about the amazing finish for the Heat

48
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: last night, the incredible rally for the Vegas Golden Knights,

49
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: tons of tons of NFL notes to get to, but

50
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: I'm still trying to get to the bottom of the

51
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 3: Mike Bone resignation.

52
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: I feel like We've got a massive college.

53
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: Story on our hands. That is just it's kind, I

54
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: don't want to say, being swept under the rug. The

55
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: La Times has done an incredible job reporting on this,

56
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 3: but nationally, I don't feel like this story is getting

57
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: some of the buzz right now that it deserves. Am

58
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: I am I in crazy Town? Or is this something

59
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: we can go in depth on next hour? No, No,

60
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: we absolutely can.

61
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: It has not gotten a lot of traction nationally for

62
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: whatever reason, but certainly this was obviously one of the

63
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: more hot, high profile athletic director jobs in the entire country.

64
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: A university that had been struggling mightily for about a decade,

65
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: especially in the football department, comes in, makes a big

66
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 1: splash in year two in hiring Lincoln Riley to turn

67
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: around someone you know well and turning around the USC

68
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: football program. And then just a bombshell by the La Times.

69
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: First the statement from Mike Bone and he's sides at

70
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: the very end almost as a footnote health reasons. Then

71
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: we come to find out that well, maybe health reasons,

72
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: maybe that's a factor, but it certainly is not the

73
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: factor as to why he's leaving.

74
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just you know this is.

75
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: Athletic directors don't get a lot of publicity unless something

76
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: bad happens or unless they're incredible. Right, there's no middle

77
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: ground for athletic directors. It's not oh yeah, they do

78
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: a good job. It's either he's amazing, she's amazing. They're

79
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: among the most incredible eighties in the country and they

80
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: run this tight ship and they're making a lot of

81
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: money and they're hiring the best coaches, or oh my gosh,

82
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 3: they're terrible, they're a trained There's no reel in the

83
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: middle with eighties and Mike Boone had he become that

84
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 3: guy at USC So Kayfig and I are going to

85
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: dive into that coming up a little bit later on

86
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: in the show, but I don't I don't know what

87
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: Anthony's plan is usually for the show.

88
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,279
Speaker 2: But I'd love to hear from you this morning.

89
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,080

102
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: But let's play the hits.

103
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: Let's start with the the biggest story from last night,

104
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: and that was Miami coming back to beat Boston one eleven,

105
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: one oh five. I guess we're calling this the Grant

106
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: Williams Game. More on that in just a bit.

107
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: But Kevin, I've got a confession to make after last night.

108
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: I really do.

109
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: And I don't know if I should be admitting this,

110
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: but I mean, hell, if Lisa Salters can admit that

111
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: Nikola Jokich has been in the league for what five

112
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 3: six years and she's never watched him play but still

113
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: gets national gigs working sidelines on games, I guess I

114
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: can confess to this.

115
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: I gave up on that game in the fourth quarter.

116
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, yeah, yeah, I kind of thought, all right,

117
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: you know what.

118
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: I want to watch some hockey.

119
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 3: I'm a big college softball guy in UCLA was losing

120
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 3: last night, so I thought to myself, you know what,

121
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put this game on Twitter mode. And by

122
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: that I mean I'm not rich. I'm not rich like

123
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: some of you people in your multiple TVs and your

124
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: iPads and things of that nature. I have a phone

125
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: and a TV and I have two daughters. It couldn't

126
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 3: care less.

127
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: So so Kevin, I put the daughter to bed and

128
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: I started watching hockey and I was following just along

129
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and it just kind of thought, Hey, Boston,

130
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: Boston has this in control.

131
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 3: You know, we're there. They're in good shape. We're ready

132
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: to roll. It's at home. Nothing crazy is gonna happen.

133
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, people started posting the exchange

134
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: between Jimmy Butler and Grant Williams, and suddenly it was

135
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: one of those games that demanded your attention because Miami

136
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 3: not only comes back to win one eleven, one oh five,

137
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: but they could not have looked worse in the third quarter.

138
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: They were outscored thirty three twenty one in the third quarter.

139
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, about midway through the

140
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, Jimmy Butler and the Heat come to life

141
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: and they have put an absolute choke hold. I probably

142
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: not the best analogy to use. They've absolutely put this

143
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: thing in control from Miami, and I'm here to tell

144
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: you right now, they're not doing it with smoking mirrors.

145
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 3: There's nothing surprising, there's nothing shocking here that's going on.

146
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 3: They're just flat out beating a Boston team that they're

147
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: not it right now, the Celtics are. So let's start

148
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: with just the general thought on this game. Miami just

149
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: went out and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

150
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: You can point a finger at Grant Williams all you want,

151
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: but by god, that man is Jimmy Butler and he

152
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 3: is playing like it right now.

153
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: Can't playoff Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler. They've been doing it

154
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: for years now.

155
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: And you know, the funny thing about this and the

156
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: specifics of this game, I think it kind of just

157
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: encapslates the entire postseason run for Boston because there are

158
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: signs of this happening going all the way back to

159
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Series. I mean, that easily could have gone seven.

160
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: I had Jason Tatum not pulled a rabbit out of

161
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 1: his hat in Game six, and they ended up pulling

162
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: away that had issues in the Philadelphia series worth a

163
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: consistency and a lot of runs going against them.

164
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: Go back to Game one.

165
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: It was a third quarter when Miami pulled away there

166
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: and Joe Mizula decided not to take a time out,

167
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: and juxtapols that to Friday night when it turn insto

168
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. For whatever reason, Boston has lacked that edge,

169
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: that defensive consistency that they show throughout the majority of

170
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: the regular season. It's lacked big time here in the playoffs,

171
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: regardless of who the opponent has been. And we know

172
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: Miami Heat, the Heat coach everybody wants to talk about.

173
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: You know, they're tough, They're not going anywhere. They fought

174
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: themselves from being eight seed to make it here for

175
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: a reason. And I do think the Grant Williams getting

176
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: in the face of Jimmy Butler just immediately lit a fire.

177
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: He's not that dude that you want to mess with Grant.

178
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: And I know Grant, you know, still in front of

179
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: the media and talk some more trash and that's cool

180
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 1: by all means. They just came into your house and

181
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: kicked your butt twice. And you have to go to

182
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: South Beach now and that place is going to be

183
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: rocking for Miami. Miami Heat team that wants to prove

184
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: that twenty twenty in the bubble was not a fluke

185
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: and they can beat you again in the Conference finals

186
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: and make it back to the NBA Finals. I thought Friday,

187
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: even more so than Game one, was a statement win,

188
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: not only because they won, but how they won in

189
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: comeback fashion in the fourth quarter in a tough place

190
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: to play that I was overly by how Miami performed

191
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: and quite honestly, almost to a certain view with Boston

192
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: kind of expecting to melt down because it's happened multiple

193
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: times here in this postseason run so far.

194
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: So just to kind of give you the details, if

195
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 3: you know. Again, if you're like me and maybe you thought, oh,

196
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 3: this game's in the bag, so you kind of started

197
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 3: to shop around, because I would say, you know, low key, sneaky,

198
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: good sports tonight, some good baseball that took place.

199
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: You got.

200
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: I guess that I'm a big softball guy. I'm not

201
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: going to try to cram that down your throat.

202
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 4: Today.

203
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: You had the return to Britney grinder.

204
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: Last night, you had hockey and the Western Conference Finals

205
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: that ended up being a fantastic game, but if you

206
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: maybe tapped out and started to look around, Miami trailed

207
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: by nine with six minutes to six minutes to go

208
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: on the road in game two of a series that

209
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: I know we could fight about must wins, Steve Kerr.

210
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: But in a must win game, you don't want to

211
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 3: lose both your home games. You don't want to fall

212
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 3: down to ZIP after losing both games and completely destroying

213
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: your home court advantage of your Boston. That was around

214
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: the time I think I wrote down six I have

215
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: six minutes exactly written down. That's when Grant Williams jumped up,

216
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 3: got in the face of Jimmy Butler and to maybe

217
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 3: put it best, poked the bear. From that point forward,

218
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler was unstoppable. I know he scored all but

219
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: maybe one time whenever Grant Williams was covering him, and

220
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: it was It was the most Kobe like thing I've

221
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: seen from a player in a long time, and I

222
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: loved every single moment of it.

223
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: And listen, I'm not trying to sit here. I know ESPN.

224
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: I've got to stop Mike I Malone, the Denver Nuggets coach,

225
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: and I need to stop catching the debate shows out

226
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: of the corner of her eyes, Mike more than you,

227
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: by the way, Oh my gosh, we'll get to that

228
00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: later on. Holy smokes, dude. But Jimmy Butler, we all

229
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: know he's that dude, We've all seen it. But there's

230
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 3: always been controversy, nothing to do with anything off the court,

231
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: but just oh, is he a bad teammate? Is he

232
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 3: somebody that's really about team oriented goals? Couldn't care less?

233
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: Whenever I see a performance like that last night, I mean,

234
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: he looked like that dude. He was there for the moment.

235
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: He absolutely took the game over. And I mean Miami again,

236
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 3: a nine point deficit with six minutes minutes to go

237
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: is nothing in an NBA game, but still on the

238
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: road in that environment, you thought that's tough to overcome.

239
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler was incredible and he got just enough feel

240
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: from Grant Williams to basically push him over the top.

241
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: Now, are we going to overvalue.

242
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: That a little bit because it's a great storyline and

243
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: everyone kind of saw it happen and what happened afterwards. Sure,

244
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: you know, Boston should be better than allowing that to

245
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 3: happen to him, But k Fake. I just I'm still

246
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: in awe of what we saw from Jimmy Butler last night.

247
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: I am too phenomenal performerance by him knowing that he's

248
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy down the stretch to take every

249
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: big shot, every tough shot. I mean, these are you know, fadeaways,

250
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: three pointers. These are not easy looks that he's getting,

251
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: and he was able to dominate the only other you

252
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: mentioned Kobe moments. And this is why Boston is not

253
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: necessarily out of this series. If you go back to

254
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia series with the Boston Celtics and Jason Tatum

255
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: and he just had that horrific I think it was

256
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: Game five when he was one for thirteen or whatever

257
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: it was, and he just steps back and drills a

258
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: three in the face of Joel Embiid and then comes

259
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: back the next possession and drills another one and wills

260
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: them the victory. Tatum has those sorts of performances in him.

261
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 5: Now.

262
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 2: He didn't perform poorly at all.

263
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: He actually was one of the bright spots for Boston

264
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: the entire night, with the exception of the fourth quarter

265
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: and he talked about Kobe time. That's when Kobe would

266
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: step up and do the most. It was in the

267
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and Jason Tatum was oh for three in

268
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter last night, But he has that sort

269
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: of magic in him. So as insurmountable as it seems, look,

270
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: the Lakers are on the better side of this because

271
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: they lost two on the road in a tough environment

272
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: in altitude, and Boston lost both of their games at home.

273
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: I would just you still give pauls to saying the

274
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: Celtics are completely dead at this point, just knowing the

275
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: kind of player that Jason Tatum is.

276
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: I want to add because I don't really know if

277
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: I followed that up real well and bringing up hey,

278
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: sometimes I need to just move past the debate shows

279
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: because when I say comparing that Jimmy Butler moment to

280
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 3: something Kobe like, I caught this on maybe it was

281
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 3: first take, and what was it? Is Jimmy Butler the

282
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: closest thing we have to Kobe Bryant. And when I

283
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 3: first saw it, I got a little triggered because I thought,

284
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 3: come on, man, let's let's try to stop comparing people

285
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: to everybody. And then you kind of had a Kobe

286
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: like a moment he did and what he was doing,

287
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 3: and I know so many times we get caught up

288
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: in the stupid Lebron v. Michael Jordan debate, but we

289
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 3: forget what a stone cold killer Kobe Bryant was whenever

290
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: it came to moments like that, and Jimmy Butler was

291
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 3: that guy last night. It was really fun to see.

292
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 3: So let's talk about it on Twitter. I'm at Plank Show.

293
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 3: Everybody should be following us at Fox Sports Radio. Kevin

310
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: zone here, but I don't want anyone to get in trouble.

311
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: Can we please calm down losing our minds in series

312
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: where the home team basically did what the home team

313
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 3: supposed to do, you want to lose your mind about

314
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,600

Speaker 3: was a mutual parting of ways. According to press release readers.

379
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 3: But then when you dig in a little deeper, there

380
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 3: might have been something more.

381
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:52,560

382
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,199

00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 3: it up here on Fox Sports Radio now KFIG yesterday,

424
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 3: A tragic day is sad day in the sports world,

425
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: as we lost a legend in Jim Brown. I don't

426
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 3: I don't know about Jim Brown the football player outside

427
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: of the you know, the documentaries and you know, me

428
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 3: being a complete and total sports nerd and a stat guy,

429
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: and but that I mean, I wasn't born whenever he

430
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 3: was playing, right his final year in the National Football League,

431
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: I was. I was still an apple in my old

432
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 3: dad mom's eye when he retired in nineteen sixty five.

433
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 3: But he's a guy that I loved hearing the stories about,

434
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 3: and you know, to me, he's also one of those

435
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 3: guys that we always say, man, I wish he wouldn't

436
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 3: have retired as early as he did, and which is

437
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 3: kind of crazy because a nine year career for a

438
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 3: running back nowadays is like, oh, well, hey.

439
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: That's spectacular.

440
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 3: It's a great, great job, right, But Jim Brown was

441
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 3: always one of those guys that, in my world, in

442
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 3: Chris Plank's world, was this incredible running back that was

443
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: in an era, you know, kind of kind of pre

444
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 3: Super Bowl era, if you will, yep, a pre me,

445
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 3: you know, really understanding what football was all about. Until

446
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: I started to grow up and I started to watch more.

447
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 3: You know, he was the guy that, for me was

448
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: an actor. I think what was He was on a

449
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 3: couple of eight teams, he was on a couple of

450
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 3: funny movies as I got older, But that's what he

451
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 3: wanted to do. And I learned about not just the

452
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 3: incredible football player, the funny actor that he was, and

453
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 3: now he took it so seriously, but the guy that

454
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 3: went out and wanted to make a change in society.

455
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: Right.

456
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 3: It was more than just Hey, I'm a football player.

457
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: I'm an activist. I'm someone who cares about my community

458
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 3: and about my race getting the opportunities that they deserve

459
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 3: and having their place that they need in this society,

460
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: and I'm going to make sure people know about it.

461
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: And to me, that was Kevin something completely different than

462
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: what you had seen a lot of times in the

463
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: sports world. There was a certain sense of well, you're

464
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 3: playing sports and these opportunities hadn't been there for you know,

465
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 3: a lot of minority groups. So yeah, justin braced Jim

466
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: Rowle was like, no, no, no, no, no no no,

467
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 3: that's not going to be me. That's not going to

468
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: be this way that I pursue things and I pursue

469
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 3: my life and I got to tell you something. He

470
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: really changed the game beyond just you know, the sporting

471
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 3: vehicle of his life, but the activism that he was involved,

472
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 3: and he really changed the game case.

473
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: Fig he was one of the first, i mean major

474
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: trailblazers to be outspoken. And you got to look at

475
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: the time, like we can talk about Lebron and the

476
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: things that he said and tweeted out and all these

477
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: movements that are happening now, and they're great. I think

478
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: it's amazing that people have platforms and they want to

479
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: use their voice. He was doing this in the seventies, right.

480
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: We were fresh out of the civil rights movement, like

481
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: there was. It wasn't safe for some of these guys

482
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: to leave on their own going to certain places. They

483
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: didn't know what was going to be said, what was

484
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: going to be done to set up the Ali summa

485
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: to back up Muhammad Ali, who was a controversial figure

486
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: in and of himself at that time, especially being seen

487
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: as a draft dodger and all that. And Jim Brown's

488
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: the one that put that Ali summa together to get

489
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: Kareem Abdul Jabbar, then Luel Sender and all those guys

490
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: together to stand with Muhammad Ali. And do that that

491
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: was risky for all of them to be able to do.

492
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: And Jim Brown was the ahead of the snake on that.

493
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, to your point. Even more so, I have

494
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: no recollection whatsoever of his playing career in Cleveland, and

495
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: he was a hell level lacrosse player from want I

496
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: understand too back in the day. But I know him

497
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: more from you know his film his film work, and

498
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: even most of those films were I wasn't even born

499
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: when he did most of those either, But I remember

500
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: one of my most vivid memories Chris was when I

501
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: was in high school out here in southern California, George

502
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: Washington Prep in South central LA. My sophomore year. He

503
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: actually came and spoke to our school, and after he

504
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: spoke to us, he actually sat and we sat, and

505
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: he had a giant circle and circle encapsulated around him,

506
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: and he sat there for hours and allowed each and

507
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: every one individual that wants to come up to him,

508
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: come up and spend three or four minutes with him

509
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: and ask him whatever he wanted. And I thought that

510
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: was one of the most amazing things that an individual

511
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: can do. He literally spent the entire day on our

512
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: campus to talk to a population that was you know,

513
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: at ninety percent black and brown students. It was all

514
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: black and brown students for the most part, and talk

515
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: about the impact that he had and how to be

516
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: impactful in your own lives and your own communities to

517
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: sort of do the same things that he did. And

518
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: it was one of the most impactful moments of my

519
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: entire life that I remember to this day that Jim

520
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 1: Brown took the time out of his day to do that,

521
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: and I was forever grateful for him to do that,

522
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, So that was really cool,

523
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: one of two interactions that I had with him. Just

524
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: an amazing person, an amazing story, and I'm glad he

525
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: looked he was able to get a lot of his

526
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: flowers while he was still living.

527
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 2: Thankfully, I had a lot of love.

528
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: And so it's obviously tragic to see him, you know,

529
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: pass at the age of eighty seven. But what a

530
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: life and what a legacy. And he impacted obviously a

531
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: lot of people, and many people obviously who never even

532
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,719
Speaker 1: met him. Yeah, I am.

533
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: I was such a fan.

534
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: And as I grew older, more more mature, and you know,

535
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: let's and I I grew up in a school in

536
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: which we were all white.

537
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 2: You know, we were all allod Asians, if you will.

538
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 3: And you know Jim Jim Brown and the Cream Abdul

539
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: Jabbars of the world. And I was a big Lakers fan,

540
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 3: so I grew up being a huge Cream fan and

541
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: being a huge Magic Johnson fan. And you know, you

542
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 3: study it, but you don't really get it. I just

543
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: I never did. And as I got older, hearing Jim Brown,

544
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: hearing the plight, the battle, reading about Jackie Robinson, reading

545
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 3: about everything they went through. Kvig, It's it's a world

546
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: that we can't even We should understand more, but it's

547
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 3: hard to fathom. Which we still fight these fights today,

548
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 3: absolutely NonStop. But just to think about how challenging that

549
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 3: was and how you should just be grateful that you're

550
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: getting to play the game right, No, no, no, no.

551
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 3: I want to make sure that we have equal opportunities,

552
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 3: that the money can be made, that we can invest

553
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 3: in our communities. I mean, Jim Brown opened so many

554
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 3: of our eyes to something that I'm sure there's several

555
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 3: people like me then maybe we had no idea.

556
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: How again, I'm forty.

557
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 3: Eight, so relatively young, still in to truly understand Jim

558
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: Brown in that era, but k fig, I know, we've got.

559
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: To hit our update here.

560
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 3: But he really opened a lot of people's eyes and

561
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: then challenged a lot of minority athletes to say, step up.

562
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 2: Don't be afraid to say something. You've got to step

563
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: up for our people.

564
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 3: And I just thought, I thought he did some very

565
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 3: courageous things, some things that are probably pretty scary at

566
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 3: the time.

567
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: Yo, you had to do too. Yeah, and look, it's

568
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: a situation that everybody is not built for. It's you know,

569
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: I go. You mentioned Jackie Robinson a little bit earlier.

570
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you talked about the epitome of toughness to

571
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: go through what he went through in integrated Major League Baseball.

572
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: And one of the great stories people say is he

573
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: was not one of the best players in the Negro League.

574
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: He was a good player, but there were so many

575
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: other players that could have come up. But he was

576
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: the right player because he had the right mentality to

577
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: deal with all the things he had to deal with

578
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: and becoming and excel and be a great player through

579
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: all of that. And so you could be a great

580
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: football player or a great athlete. You can show a

581
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: degree of toughness between the lines. But to deal with

582
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: all this stuff, all the backlash that you would get

583
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: outside of the lines when you decide to take the

584
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: steps that guys like Jim Brown took, that that's the

585
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 1: next next level toughness and to be able to carry

586
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: that heavy burden, which it really is, because you're really

587
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: speaking for I mean, look, you're speaking for an entire

588
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: race of people to a certain degree at that point

589
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: in time, especially at that point in time when you

590
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: know he he was one of the bigger stars, one

591
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: of the bigger you know, black athletes. There weren't a

592
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 1: whole lot of them at that point in time who

593
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: had giant platforms who people were actually cared to want

594
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 1: to listen to, and they still didn't know Obbuile still

595
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: didn't want to listen to them. But to your point,

596
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: it's truly remarkable, and it's one of those things that

597
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: really unless you lived it, it's hard to really have

598
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: a great perspective on it. But as long as you

599
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: try to seek to get understanding, that's the most you

600
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: can ask for, you know that, And so I appreciate

601
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: you for saying that, But it certainly is a testament

602
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: to his character that he spearheaded a ginormous movement, and

603
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: I don't think you have the athletes who are outspoken

604
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: today if it wasn't for someone like Jim Brown who

605
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: blaze that trail. And I think Lebron James tweeted that

606
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: himself last night, We're.

607
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 3: Gonna a Cream. Abdul Jabbar had a really good interview

608
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 3: on ESPN. I'm gonna share a little bit of that

609
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 3: with you coming up here in just a bit. We'll

610
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 3: sprinkle in memories of Jim Brown throughout the show this morning.

611
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: And I was going through his IMDb here and I forgot,

612
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, that's right. He's in a couple of movies.

613
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 3: And I have a moment to where as a young kid,

614
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: you know, I didn't know Jim Brown, right because in

615
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 3: my eighties love of sports, Jim Brown was long retired, right,

616
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: But there was one moment that brought him back. And

617
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 3: we'll talk about it coming up here in just a bit.

618
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 3: But first, in addition to bringing us great hot takes

619
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: all morning long, Kevin figures also has his eye on

620
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 3: everything going on in the sports role.

621
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: So let's fine. I was trending what's up.

622
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: Kevin Well, the big news still eminating out of Boston

623
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: from Friday night. The Heat up two games to none

624
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference Final. One eleven to one oh

625
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: five was the final score. Jimmy Butler scored twenty seven points.

626
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: How about bam out of Baio just missed a triple

627
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: double by the way, that gets probably not getting as

628
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: much of attention as it should. Twenty two points, seventeen rebounds,

629
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: and nine assists head overcoming a double digit fourth quarter deficit.

630
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum led Boston with thirty four points. He was

631
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: zero three shooting with two turnovers in the final period. However,

632
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: Game three will be in Miami on Sunday. Game one

633
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: of the Western Conference Finals in the NHL went in

634
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: favor of Las Vegas. They got an overtime goal from

635
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: Brett Howden in a four to three victory over Dallas.

636
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball Houston winning gets fifth straight a five

637
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: to one victory over Oakland. Josel two of back in

638
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: the lineup for the first time this season after he

639
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: suffered that thumb injury in the World Baseball Classic. He

640
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: was zero for four in his season debut. Mookie Bets

641
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: a three run home run for the Dodgers. They beat

642
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: the Cardinals five to nothing. Boston have won three straight.

643
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: They beat the Padres six to one, Angels, Giants, Braves

644
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: and the Cubs with victories as well.

645

Speaker 3: back to memories of Jim Brown coming up here in

655
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: just a bit, but I wanted to share now this

656
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 3: is I don't know, Ethan if you would consider this

657
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 3: to be maybe a cardinal sin in radio. But as

658
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 3: I was chopping up the Jimmy Butler press conference, there

659
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 3: is about two and a half good minutes here of

660
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: Jimmy explaining what clicked in the fourth quarter and in

661
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 3: the back and forth between he and Grant Williams. So

662
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 3: as you just heard from KFIG one eleven, one of

663
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 3: five five the heater up two games to none.

664
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler went off in the fourth quarter. Wow, how

665
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: you're Jimmy Butler.

666
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 7: I was trying to play the right way the entire game,

667
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 7: and then I feel like in the fourth it's all

668
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 7: about getting a bucket or whether you're taking a contested shot,

669
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 7: wide open shot, it's all about getting shots on goal.

670
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 7: And I can only tell y'all so many times how

671
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 7: much confidence that my teammates put in me, the coaching

672
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 7: staff puts to me to just go out there and hoop,

673
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 7: play care free, and as we'd like to say in

674
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 7: our locker room, take us there, Jimmy.

675
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 8: Before you got up here, we've been talking about Grant

676
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 8: Williams and what happened there in the fourth quarter, and

677
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 8: Bam even suggested that you occasionally start things like that

678
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 8: to just kind of get yourself going. Can you tell

679
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 8: us what happened in the moment there and did it

680
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 8: fuel you down the stretch?

681
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 6: Yes, it did, but that's just competition. That is finest.

682
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 6: He hit a big shot, started talking to me. I

683
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 6: like that. I'm all for that.

684
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 7: It makes me key in a lot more and it

685
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 7: pushes that will that I have to win a lot more,

686
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 7: and it makes me smile. It does when when people

687
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 7: talk to me, I'm like, Okay, I know I'm I'm

688
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 7: a decent player if you want to talk to me

689
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 7: out of everybody that you can talk to.

690
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 6: But I don't know. It's just it's just competition.

691
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 7: I do respect him though he's a big part of

692
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 7: what they try to do. He switches, he can shoot

693
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 7: the ball. I just don't know if I'm the best

694
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 7: person to talk to.

695
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 6: So Jimmy Grant wasn't the answer? Was he the problem?

696
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 6: He wasn't that.

697
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: Now that's in reference. There's there's more to that story,

698
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 3: if you will. As Jimmy was coming off the court,

699
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 3: that he's not the answer was they're not the answer.

700
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 3: I think I'm paraphrasing there. But here's the numbers that

701
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 3: just magnify how maybe the term could be. What triggering

702
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: kfig is that that? Is that a fair way to

703
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 3: put you know, I'm not trying to put everything on

704
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 3: Grand Williams here this morning. But when Grant hit that three,

705
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: the Celtics went up ninety six eighty seven. There was

706
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 3: six thirty seven left in the fourth quarter, now again

707
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 3: a nine point lead with six thirty seven. I think

708
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 3: we can stop acting like that's some insurmountable lead in

709
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 3: the NBA.

710
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: I mean literally, as.

711
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 3: Long as there is time left on the clock and

712
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: you're not down twenty, you're feeling like you've hell. Even

713
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 3: down twenty in the fourth quarter, you might feel like

714
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 3: you have a chance. The way, he's got to shoot

715
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 3: threes now, right, But so Williams hits his three, it

716
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 3: makes it a nine point game with six thirty seven left.

717
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 3: It's hopping in Boston the heat and outscored in Miami

718
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 3: twenty four to nine. The rest of the way, Jimmy

719
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 3: Butler matched the Celtic, scoring all on his own. I

720
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: think I think we've learned now. Kevin not not necessarily

721
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 3: the guy to try to talk trash to is he

722
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 3: don't poke the bear. The funny part is he's so

723
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 3: humble through it too. Yeah, It's like how it's like

724
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 3: on the court, he's a dog.

725
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: You know, we know the infamous story when he got

726
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 1: traded to Minnesota and they said he went into practice

727
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: and basically kicked everybody's button and screamed at everybody and

728
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: called Karl Anthony town soft and all that.

729
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 2: But in front of the microphone in front of the camera.

730
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 2: He's like the most gentle, humble person ever.

731
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 3: Soft behind the mic, and I mean not a nice way, Jesse.

732
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 3: I mean that in a nice way.

733
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: Your face for me? Can your face now, Chris, I

734
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: can't get Grant Williams on this show.

735
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,959
Speaker 2: I'm olia fillin, all right when we come back.

736
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 3: I mentioned there was a moment for me that I

737
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 3: started to really learn about Jim Brown, and it was

738
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 3: at a young age. And I actually have the raiders

739
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 3: to think for that. Dive into it next right here

740
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio. All right, what a night in Sport?

741
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 3: Vegas beats the Dallas Stars in overtime four to three

742
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 3: to take a one zero lead in the Western Conference Finals.

743
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 3: Miami comes back with a wild fourth quarter rally. We'll

744
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 3: hear more from Jimmy Butler and Grant Williams. Tough night

745
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 3: to be Grant Williams. But the Heat win one eleven,

746
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 3: one oh five. Couple good baseball walk offs.

747
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 4: Man.

748
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 3: Maybe Kevin figures I'm Chris plankin for Anthony Gargana, who

749
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 3: is out today. But maybe it's because I work with

750
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 3: Arnie every Sunday nights and I love Arnie Spanier. But

751
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: he's a fan of the Mets and he's a fan

752
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 3: of the Knicks. And I don't if this is a

753
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 3: New York thing, or at least a New York fan thing.

754
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: They win a couple of games in a row and

755
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 3: it's not, Hey, this is a nice little streak.

756
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 2: They win a couple of games in a row, and

757
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 2: it becomes, oh.

758
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 3: My gosh, this is what we were supposed to be. Hell,

759
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 3: we might only be five hundred and six games out

760
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 3: a first place, but we've won three games in a row.

761
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 3: I think this is a World Series team. Is that

762
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 3: like a New York thing?

763
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 5: Oh?

764
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: It is more than anything. It's it's a Mets and

765
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: a Knicks thing.

766
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: I mean, look, what if they had, all due respect

767
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: to our listeners in New York, and and we're a

768
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 1: lot of New Yorkers who are fans, haven't a lot

769
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: to cheer about or look forward to over the last

770
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: few years. And the Mets spent all this money and

771
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: all this expectation and have been a ginormous disappointed deployment

772
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: all season long, And what's the next tease you this year?

773
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody had any designs of them making

774
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: a ginormous deep run, but they made it further than

775
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: I thought they would same, so I guess I'll give

776
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: them credit for that. So if you're an if you

777
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: were a Knicks fan and a Mets fan specifically, this

778
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: is kind of as good as it gets over the

779
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: last twenty years for you.

780
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 3: So it's always funny to me and and listen, are

781
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 3: any things one move? Every single one of his teams

782
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 3: is going to the super Bowl, the World Series, and

783
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals. And that's fine unless you have to

784
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 3: do a show with him every single Sunday night.

785
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

786
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 3: It's okay, I drink a lot daring, I'm sure. But

787
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 3: the thing that's impressive to me is just I don't know.

788
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 3: I mean, I've I've dated a few people like this

789
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: in my life where it's one thing one day and

790
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 3: it's a completely different world the next day. Married to

791
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 3: it right now, but it's kind of like New York

792
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 3: sports fan, It's like, oh my gosh, this team. They

793
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 3: are gutty, they are gritty, they fight, they're gooding to

794
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 3: the next day. They'll losing games Like these guys are bums. Yeah,

795
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 3: I mean they just stink. I mean, how do you

796
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 3: people live like this. It's a long season.

797
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: Doesn't seem very healthy, to be honest with you. No,

798
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: And look, New York sports talk radio is kind of

799
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: follows in the same line. I think they kind of

800
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: get the same vibe. That's where they get it from.

801
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 1: You know, the sports talk radio host live and die

802
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: every single moment. You're the greatest team ever. If you

803
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: went to in a row, you lose four in a row,

804
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: kick them out, relegate them. It doesn't even exist in

805
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: American sports. But let's relegate them to the Knixt to

806
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 1: the G League.

807
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 3: The Knicks win the Cavs series, all of a sudden,

808
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 3: New York fancy, you know what, Miami and they're not

809
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 3: that good.

810
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 2: We can beat them.

811
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 3: And you know what, you already had Milwaukee get beat

812
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference finals, so I think we're going

813
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 3: to the finals. And then when they lose, it's like,

814
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 3: you know, Randall sucks, we gotta get a new star

815
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 3: and just poster.

816
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: And you tear it off the wall.

817
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 2: It's like, geez, it's okay.

818
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 3: I mean, I know that this isn't a very hot take,

819
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 3: but it's okay to look at a game and say, oh,

820
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 3: we won that game, I feel really good about where

821
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 3: this this team might be going. We're gonna be okay.

822
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: But you win one game, it's like, oh.

823
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,959
Speaker 1: Big bong, Yeah, there we go, Bigs all the way,

824
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 1: let's go. What do you it's a two to one series.

825
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: What are you doing? So you didn't so you don't

826
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: know that Peter Lonzo's gonna hit seventy home runs this

827
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: year based off of what he did last night.

828
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 2: Then after the Gland slam, vent Door is finally living

829
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 2: up to the high.

830
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 3: I mean, the Lindor's not even there, but you know

831
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 3: what I mean, it's it's all of a sudden, this

832
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 3: this craziness that just takes everything to another level, and

833
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 3: you're like, okay, does a.

834
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: Part of me that appreciates the passion very small part

835
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: of me? Then there's another It's like, man, you guys

836
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: need to calm down. This ain't good for your heart.

837
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: Your star levels are all over the place. Llndor gets

838
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: a hit last night and it's it literally gets his

Speaker 3: It got his batting average up to two thirty five,

842
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,160

00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 3: We'll we'll never forget the date, and then they got

844
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 3: to struggle to their phone to see what dated was

845
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 3: May nineteenth, when things turned around for the Mets.

846
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: Stop it, Hey, Kevin, I wanted.

847
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,160

00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 3: That pumps me up, you know. I, Like I said,

853
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 3: I'm forty eight, so I'm an elder statesman, but still

854
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 3: in that same vein a little bit too young. Whenever

855
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 3: Jim Brown was a player, right, I didn't know much,

856
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: if anything about Jim Brown the player and kids. We

857
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 3: didn't have YouTube back in the so the only way

858
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 3: you would get highlights wasn't to google him up. You

859
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 3: had to hope that one of the networks would have

860
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 3: a documentary or old newspapers. But my first real true

861
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 3: introduction to Jim Brown as the player. Oh yes, tire

Speaker 3: off the top with Kevin Figures. I'm Chris PLAINKFG. I

870
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,720

00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 2: Now.

872
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 3: I'm a big college guy, so I love the softball.

873
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 3: I love the college baseball that's going on. Diamond Sports

874
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 3: is great right now. If you haven't as a fan, listen,

875
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,759

876
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 3: and three am in the Pacific time zone. There might

877
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 3: still be some UCLA fans that are healing wounds from

878
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 3: their loss last night. But softball's fun. The Diamond Sports

879
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 3: battle in baseball is fun right now. So if you're

880
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 3: just a college football fan, challenge you to check it

881
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 3: out today. I think you'll enjoy it. We've got the

882
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 3: Western Conference Finals Game three. As the scene shifts to LA,

883
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 3: we through the next I don't know what do we

884
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 3: have three hours? We through the next three hours that

885
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 3: we've got here on Fox Sports Radio are gonna spend

886
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 3: a lot of time talking about Jimmy Butler and the

887
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 3: heat and what happened last night. Hockey has been fantastic.

888
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:41,959
Speaker 3: The NFL has even kind of kindly taken a back seat.

889
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 3: We haven't had any stupid rumors or wild reports over

890
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 3: the last you know, forty eight to seventy two hours,

891
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 3: so it's I don't know, okay, think it's been kind

892
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 3: of nice to focus on the NBA. You know, we're

893
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 3: remembering Jim Brown this morning, sneaky good sports day, and

894
00:41:58,640 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 3: I'm excited for the.

895
00:41:59,360 --> 00:41:59,959
Speaker 2: Rest of this week.

896
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm right there with you, looking forward to Obviously,

897
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: it's a night game three in Los Angeles, a de

898
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: facto must win. I know some say it's a not

899
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 1: an elimination game, but for all intentsive purposes, I must

900
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: win for the Lakers coming up tonight.

901
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 2: So definitely looking forward to that one.

902
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 3: I did want to wrap the here Sean, my man

903
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 3: Shady Sean cracks me up. I don't know if anyone

904
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 3: protects the brand more than my man at Shady Sean

905
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 3: for twenty and I don't know if his birthday is

906
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 3: April twentieth or what, but you would think he might

907
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 3: be a little bit more chill. So he hits this

908
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 3: up on Twitter at Plank Show at KFIG one and

909
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 3: of course everybody should be following us at Fox Sports Radio.

910
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 3: He writes, rest in peace, Jim Brown. Now, Chris, can

911
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 3: you please move on to a different subject. I've had

912
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 3: enough hearing about a guy who last played in nineteen

913
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 3: sixty four. Now again, I don't feel like we have

914
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 3: to defend talking about Jim Brown and his legacy. But

915
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 3: Sean so much more than a guy that last played

916
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty four. Yeah, And I feel like, and

917
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 3: that's the thing here is for some of us. And

918
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 3: I don't know how old Sean is, I don't know

919
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 3: what the demographic is at, you know, this time in

920
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 3: the morning, But I feel like for a lot of us,

921
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 3: Jim Brown represented something that was so unique at the time,

922
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: that was so powerful. If I could even say that,

923
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 3: he just he was a guy that wasn't afraid of

924
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 3: the challenging the status quo. He wasn't a guy that

925
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 3: was afraid to take a different path.

926
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 4: You know.

927
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 3: He was an athlete that decided I want to be

928
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 3: an actor, and I would assume it worked out for him.

929
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 3: And then in doing that, he was in a lot

930
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 3: of movies. Don't know if all of them were great,

931
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 3: but he was in a lot of movies.

932
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: By the way, Chris, he gave up football to do.

933
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: He had had a run in with Art Modell. He'sa liked,

934
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: if you're going to do acting, you're not gonna play

935
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: for the Browns. And he said, all right, bye bye.

936
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 3: But I wanted to share this just real Sean for you,

937
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 3: for you, I want to add this story that I

938
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 3: teased at the end of last hour. My first true

939
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 3: understanding of who Jim Brown was came in nineteen eighty four. Okay,

940
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 3: and well, I guess technically it was December of eighty three. Now, Kevin,

941
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 3: you weren't born yet, right, went How old are you?

942
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: Were you born in eighty three?

943
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 2: Eighty six?

944
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 3: I was born Okay, Okay, so you weren't born yet.

945
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 3: I don't know if anyone on the crew was born yet,

946
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 3: but I is old. So in nineteen eighty three, times

947
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 3: were good being a Raiders fan.

948
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: People. Mark says he was Mark go producing, Mark Ramsey.

949
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: Oh, Mark Ramsey. Let's go old people Unit, Old people.

950
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 9: U night.

951
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mark. Make me feel a little bit better.

952
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 3: By the way, I just want to tell you guys something,

953
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 3: Mark is like the Silent Assassin, And I mean that

954
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 3: in a good way with this show. He's dropping like

955
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 3: movie updates. He knows all these movies that Jim Brown

956
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 3: was in. One of these days, whenever I'm here, I'll

957
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 3: talk him into talking more on the air because he's

958
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 3: got a wealth of information. So times were good. I

959
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 3: know this is shocking for you. The Raiders in the

960
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 3: eighties were I'm not gonna they weren't like the Chiefs

961
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 3: because they didn't have a Patrick Mahomes, but they were

962
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 3: a team that, you know, every year you could count

963
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 3: on them being in the mix. Shocking based on what

964
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 3: both Kfig and I are experiencing right now. But we

965
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 3: had a young running back. His name was Marcus Allen,

966
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 3: and I loved and to death. And in nineteen eighty

967
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 3: four they were on their way to the Super Bowl.

968
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 3: But on the cover of a December Sports Illustrated there

969
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 3: was a picture of this guy that I'd only heard about.

970
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 3: I'd only heard about Jim Brown. I hadn't really seen

971
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 3: him play. But in December of eighty three, it simply said,

972
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 3: Jim Brown, you serious a comeback at forty seven And

973
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 3: it said, hey, now think about this as far as

974
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 3: the NFL is concerned today, it said, hey, you're just

975
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 3: what the boring NFL needs.

976
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 2: So so two things there. Number one fast forward.

977
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 3: Let's see so nineteen eighty three, let's see you carry

978
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 3: carry the one four makes it. You're looking like forty

979
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 3: years ago, is that right? And the NFL was the

980
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 3: no fun league. The NFL was. You know, if there

981
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 3: were debate shows back then, they would be debating what's

982
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 3: wrong with the NFL and why can't they garner more attention?

983
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 3: And here comes a dude at forty seven that's like, hey,

984
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 3: I uh, I want to come back. So the story

985
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 3: behind it was this, Frank o'harris and Walter Payton were

986
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 3: starting to approach Jim Brown's record as the league's all

987
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 3: time leading rusher, and I guess Jim Brown went to

988
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 3: Sports Illustrated at the time and said, who's to say

989
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 3: a forty seven year old can't do it. If Frank

990
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 3: o'harris is going to creep towards my record, I might

991
00:46:58,640 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 3: as well come back and creep.

992
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 2: Now.

993
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 3: Brown wore the jersey of the Raiders because he said

994
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 3: that's the team he wanted to join. I want to

995
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 3: pause right there for a moment. My gosh, can we

996
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 3: go back to those times?

997
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 10: K thing?

998
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 2: People wanted to join the Raiders.

999
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 11: I know.

1000
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: Wow, what a concept. Oh geez, oh my gosh. Now

1001
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: he said he said he wanted to join the Browns.

1002
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: He retired from them in nineteen sixty six.

1003
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 3: He said he didn't want to join the Browns, he

1004
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 3: wanted to join the Raiders because he retired in sixty

1005
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 3: six after playing for them for nine seasons, and Al Davis,

1006
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 3: being the showman that he was understanding where the league

1007
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 3: was as well, didn't dismiss the idea of a comeback.

1008
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 3: Quote certainly out of admiration and respect, I would be

1009
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 3: willing to listen to whatever he has in mind. But

1010
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 3: it never materialized. Brown didn't return. Eventually, his record was

1011
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 3: broken in nineteen eighty four. The Raiders went on to

1012
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl that year. Again, I'm gonna be

1013
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 3: a shock for a lot of people, I know. And

1014
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 3: there was this guy named Marcus Allen who kind of

1015
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 3: started to take over in the backfield.

1016
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's a highlight of him, you know, cutting

1017
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: across reversing field against the Washington football team and known

1018
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: as a different name back then.

1019
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,240
Speaker 3: And which is kind of crazy too, because I didn't

1020
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 3: realize this Jim Brown is now eleventh on the all

1021
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 3: time rushing list. So uh yeah, just real quick, I

1022
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 3: don't think anyone minds me, Emitt Smith, Walter Payton.

1023
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 2: Frank Gore is the third.

1024
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: Leading rush Frank Gore, Right, that's just because you win.

1025
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: Like if you look at his resume, yeah, how does

1026
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: he not in the Hall of Fame. But when you

1027
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: look at just do you take the ten thousand foot

1028
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: step back and say, Frank Gore is a Hall of Famer?

1029
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, exactly.

1030
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 3: Frank Gore is the third leading rusher of old time,

1031
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 3: followed by Barry Sanders, who again another one of those

1032
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 3: guys who you kind of wish you had a few

1033
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 3: more years of him in the NFL. Right ye, Adrian

1034
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 3: Peterson fifth, followed by Hall of Famer Curtis Martin, Ladanian, Tomlinson,

1035
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 3: Jerome Betts, Jerome Bettis. I forgot about Jerome Bettis being

1036
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 3: as good as he was the Steelers and the Rams.

1037
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 3: Then Tony Dorris said, and finally there's Jim Brown just

1038
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 3: to sco shahead.

1039
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 2: Of Marshall fall at Edgar and James.

1040
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 3: Wow, So how funny would it have been if he

1041
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 3: would have came back and continue to grow his lead,

1042
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 3: but eventually, as time progressed, he had ten guys had

1043
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 3: broke your mark.

1044
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's tough, although I will say too, you mentioned

1045
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: Al Davis. If there was a franchise that would have

1046
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: done that, brought in a forty seven year old to

1047
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: play running back, it would have been Now Davis, that's

1048
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: a perfect one. It's a guy who had bland a

1049
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: plan until he was ninety years old.

1050
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1051
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 3: So if forty seven years old is now like the

1052
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 3: go to for a quarterback, it's like, how's that quarterback? Well,

1053
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 3: he's like thirty nine. Can you get to his mid forties' fee?

1054
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 3: A little bit better about that?

1055
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 9: Oh?

1056
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: Yes, routinely these guys well, especially now that the way

1057
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: they protect these guys. But look think of the rules

1058
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: they didn't have in place and how brutal the game

1059
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: was back then, even in the eighties.

1060
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 2: I can imagine the sixties.

1061
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 1: The problem was if you watch the highlights Jim Brown

1062
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: as a running back, it is bigger than linebackers.

1063
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 2: Like he was like a physical freak. It wasn't as

1064
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 2: bad or as a dramatic of a difference.

1065
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: Essay, Wilt Chamberlain of the NBA, when he's playing against

1066
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: just a bunch of little people. But that's kind of

1067
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: what it looked like at times when Jim Brown had

1068
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: the ball.

1069
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 2: It was all real.

1070
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 3: I love watching these highlights. It's it's almost it's almost

1071
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 3: as if you're watching a different game, right right. I've

1072
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 3: got ESPN on this morning, and you know, I again,

1073
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 3: I say this not to be like, man, you're old,

1074
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 3: but today if you're like man, I wonder what it

1075
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 3: was like to watch Jim Plunkett play quarterback or I

1076
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 3: was just Fran Tarkinson. You can go to YouTube, type

1077
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 3: up Fran Tarkenton or google him up and you could

1078
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 3: probably find a whole damn game of him playing on there.

1079
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 3: We didn't have that as kids growing up, right, So really,

1080
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 3: the first time I'm watching Jim Brown highlights is when

1081
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,439
Speaker 3: there's a documentary, or maybe every so often when there's

1082
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 3: a Browns game on National TV, which was not very

1083
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 3: often when I was a kid. It's like, oh, the

1084
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 3: memory Dick Enberg or Don Kriky, he's like, oh, the

1085
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 3: memories of Jim Brown stumbling, rumbling, bumbling, And you'd watch

1086
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 3: these highlights of a guy that literally is playing what

1087
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 3: looks like a different game than what you're watching, not

1088
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 3: because of you know, anything negative about him, but just

1089
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just flat out four yards and a

1090
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 3: cloud of dust and he's running away and running around

1091
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 3: people and it was awesome. A couple of notes here,

1092
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 3: real quick, statistically, and then we'll move on to some

1093
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler stuff from last night. But I did not

1094
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 3: realize just how effective he was. He is the only

1095
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 3: player in NFL history to average over one hundred yards

1096
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:38,399
Speaker 3: rushing per game. He's the only non quarterback to win

1097
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 3: league MVP three times. Now I think Patrick Mahomes has

1098
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,280
Speaker 3: a chance to break that. He never missed a game

1099
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 3: as a running back in an era where you were

1100
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,919
Speaker 3: not as protected as you are now. There weren't diepads,

1101
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 3: there weren't backpads. There were shoulder pads and a helmet,

1102
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 3: and you didn't have a visor. And he led the

1103
00:51:56,080 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 3: league in rushing five straight years. No player has five

1104
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 3: rushing titles in a career.

1105
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 2: And everybody knew he was getting the ball pretty much

1106
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 2: every down, by.

1107
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 3: The way was there wasn't much confusion about what the

1108
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns were doing. He was getting the football, and

1109
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 3: it's like, all right, well go stop him. Gosh eight

1110
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 3: rushing titles five straight, nineteen fifty seven, Rookie of the

1111
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 3: Year and Hall of Famer in nineteen seventy one. Also

1112
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 3: nine Pro Bowls in nine NFL seasons, all with the

1113
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 3: Browns and Kevin. It's it's more than just the football player.

1114
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 3: Where's sports Talk Network? That's what we're focused on. But again,

1115
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 3: this was a guy that crossed those boundaries. This was

1116
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 3: a guy that you know, wasn't afraid to stand up

1117
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 3: for what he believed in. This is a guy that

1118
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 3: truly made an epic impact well beyond the football field.

1119
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: Like for people like us, you know, and you mentioned

1120
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: the who is the listener? I don't want to want

1121
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: to make sure I get his shady Yeah, it's almost

1122
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 1: like Muhammad Ali. Like I remember I was sitting at

1123
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: this very anger desk. Well, you and I were doing

1124
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: the show again when Muhammad Lee passed away, and it's

1125
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: kind of the same. I never saw Muhammed a leeb box,

1126
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 1: not live right, obviously, but I knew the social impact

1127
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: that he had. He's more than just an athlete, you know,

1128
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: for for all he look he and and and Jim

1129
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,439
Speaker 1: Brown were together at the summit. Obviously we talked about

1130
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: him not going to the draft and you know, not

1131
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: agreeing with the war and being a black person being

1132
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: drafted into it where they didn't want to be involved

1133
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 1: in and how bold that was at the time. So

1134
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: these are these figures. Yes, we appreciate them for the

1135
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: athletes that they are and that's how they earned the

1136
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: platform that they have, but they show that there were

1137
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 1: more than that, and they blazed trails both in and

1138
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: outside of the athletic landscape. So that's why we're spending

1139
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: so much time talking about Jim Brown. Yes, we can

1140
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: talk about how great of a football player he was,

1141
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 1: but there's so many people. Look, Chris and I and

1142
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: many others never saw him play it down, but we

1143
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: recognize the social impact that he made as a human

1144
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: being more so than just being a football player.

1145
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 3: You know, the tributes were pouring in throughout the night,

1146
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 3: and I thought, you know, again, for all the criticism

1147
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 3: that you know, our competitors, the Four Letter might take,

1148
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 3: you know, they bring on poignant guests like Cream Abdul

1149
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 3: Jabbar to talk about, you know, the social activism of

1150
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 3: Jim Brown. Here's what Cream said last night on Sports

1151
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 3: Center when asked to talk about, Hey, what was Jim

1152
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 3: Brown like and by the way.

1153
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 10: Personally, he just well, let's start at the beginning. When

1154
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 10: I was still in grade school, he was running back.

1155
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 10: I wanted to see on Sundays, and I remember going

1156
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 10: out freezing out there in the Yankee Stadium watching Jim

1157
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 10: Brown run against the Giants.

1158
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 4: But that was a long, going far away.

1159
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 12: After Jim retired, he devoted himself to making a difference

1160
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 12: in the black community, and his commitment was just extraordinary.

1161
00:54:55,760 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 12: It was constant. He never ever gave up on his effort.

1162
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 12: He's there at the top in terms of the people

1163
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 12: that respected him and that followed his lead on so

1164
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 12: many issues.

1165
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 3: You mentioned it this morning, k fig you out of

1166
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 3: time whenever you were in college where he came and

1167
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 3: just sat down and talked to everyone, That's a moment

1168
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 3: you'll never forget.

1169
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 2: And that's what he was about it. He was about it.

1170
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, very few athletes are very few authors will take

1171
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: their time to do that tory.

1172
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:33,760
Speaker 2: He was high school. I was a sophomore in high school.

1173
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,240
Speaker 1: To spend time with high school after already spending twenty

1174
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,399
Speaker 1: minutes whatever it was, speaking to us, and to spend

1175
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,439
Speaker 1: another few hours to talk to us individually with something

1176
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: I'll never forget.

1177
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,720
Speaker 3: All Right, We'll come to your life from the tiraq

1178

1179
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler stars Grant Williams kind of labeled as the

1180
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 3: goat but in Boston bounce back plus speaking of bouncing back,

1181
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 3: is there and an unfocused attention that needs to be

1182
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 3: discussed about the Denver Nuggets. We've got a lot coming up,

1211
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 3: kids tell them that Al Davis was considered a genius

1212
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty four.

1213
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: Were you around for the Al Davis genius era gay thing?

1214
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 2: Oh no, oh no, no, I was. I was well

1215
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 2: past that.

1216
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: My first memories of the Raiders were yeah, may have,

1217
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: but even in Bo Jackson getting injured in that playoff

1218
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: game against Cincinnati. I was very young at the time,

1219
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: but I do remember all the hoopla about Bo. That

1220
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: was kind of like my first foray. Tim Brown was

1221
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: my guy coming up as a kid watching the Raiders.

1222
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: So I was I was a kid of the nineties.

1223
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: My consciousness around sports began in the in the early

1224
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: early to mid nineties.

1225
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 2: So now Davids and.

1226
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 3: Again this spurns off the Jim Brown conversation where you know,

1227
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 3: you go back to did I write down the right

1228
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 3: year eighty three? I think it was December of eighty three,

1229
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 3: the Sports Illustrated cover that talked about him coming back

1230
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 3: at forty seven. Now he didn't, But you know, David

1231
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 3: was like, hey, you know, he's one of the greatest

1232
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 3: of all time.

1233
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 2: We'd entertain it.

1234
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,439
Speaker 3: This is a dude that won three Super Bowls as

1235
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:38,479
Speaker 3: an owner, had a championship team as a coach. But man,

1236
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 3: some of those decisions late in free agency really.

1237
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 2: Really did not go some word Javon Walker was still smiling.

1238
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 3: Bro, How funny is it that that's the first name

1239
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 3: that I think of. It's then I think of disastrous

1240
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 3: free agent signings for the Raiders, Javon Walker.

1241
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 2: I mean, we could do.

1242
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 3: A whole summer show now if Aunt takes some time

1243
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 3: off in July, k fig, We're spending an hour on

1244
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 3: disastrous free agent signings and everyone can jump in, right.

1245
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 3: But for us with the Raiders, you know, it starts

1246
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 3: with Larry Brown after he won the Super Bowl. Javon

1247
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 3: Walker is in there just oh you know, and I'll

1248
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 3: say some of the moves recently can't complain about, right,

1249
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 3: Maybe out of desperation for some depth, but man, I

1250
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 3: would say outside of Dan Snyder's final run with Washington,

1251
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 3: no team missed more on free agents than Al Davison

1252
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 3: the Raiders.

1253
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, you know I want high priced ones too, right, Yeah.

1254
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: Well, the problem with him was he he would chase

1255
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: after guys after their their best years are already behind him.

1256
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: People forget that Eric Dickerson played for the Raiders. Oh

1257
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: my god, Ronnie Lott played for the Raiders. Need a

1258
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: lot like for them. You know, all these guys where

1259
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: at one point where legends, and at those points in

1260
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: their career they were not. And people said, I don't

1261
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: know if this is true or not. Go ahead, Al

1262
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Davis signed these players just so we can say. The

1263
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Raiders have so many Hall of famers on their you know,

1264
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: in their team legacy doesn't matter how great they were

1265
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: when they wore silver and black, but they were a

1266
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:21,919
Speaker 1: Raider and they made it to the Hall of Fame.

1267
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: So damn it, we're claiming them as Hall of Fame Raiders.

1268
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: That that's why he was going after Jim Brown at

1269
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: forty seven. He wanted to go back and claim the

1270
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: great the greatest running back ever played for the Raiders.

1271
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 3: All right, all right, p Jim Brown this morning. Okay,

1272
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 3: So last night was a fascinating night in the NBA.

1273
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 3: If you happen to go to bed a little bit early.

1274
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler went crazy in the fourth quarter, came back,

1275
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 3: helped lead the Heat to a win in Game two

1276
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 3: over the Boston Celtics on eleven one oh five. Now,

1277
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 3: I will say, you know, I've already been hearing from

1278
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 3: my buddy already Spaniard this morning, and he's mad that

1279
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 3: we haven't brought up the fact that the New York

1280
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 3: Knicks are going to add Joel Embiid, which is hard

1281
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 3: kind does that not fit into what we were talking

1282
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 3: about an hour one about.

1283
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: Nicks and Mets fans know what fits? The Knicks will

1284
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: be signing James Harden to a two hundred and fifty

1285
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 1: million dollars contract.

1286
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 2: That's that's a Nick move right there, exactly.

1287
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 3: But it's funny because I don't know if Arnie remembers this,

1288
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 3: but these will be his final few shows on Fox

1289
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 3: Sports Radio because he once again bet his job that

1290
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 3: there was no way that the Heat were going to

1291
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 3: beat the Celtics, and then in that didn't even have

1292
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler as a as a star player in the league.

1293
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm not surprised that Arnie would that. I

1294
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 2: don't know, Arnie.

1295
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 3: There's still time to retract if you want, but Jimmy

1296
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 3: Butler has been that guy and it we didn't need

1297
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 3: that moment between him and Grant Williams to.

1298
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: Figure that out last night. He is.

1299
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 3: It's funny because he's one of those guys that if

1300
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 3: you just read some of the you know, storylines, you

1301
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 3: might not lie, right. I mean, you brought it up

1302
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 3: earlier and it was great. I mean, who can forget

1303
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 3: the story about getting kicked out of Timberwolve's practice, or

1304
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 3: kicking everyone out of Timberwolve's practice, calling Karl Anthony town soft.

1305
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 3: You know, they had the whole where him and Tibbs

1306
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 3: were the best of friends and then things kind of

1307
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 3: ended a little bit tough in Chicago. But Tibbs went

1308
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 3: and got him whenever he was in Minnesota and that

1309
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 3: was a disaster. And then all of a sudden the

1310
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 3: moment since he got to Miami, and there might be

1311
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 3: a diehard Jimmy Butler fan that said, well, this has

1312
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 3: always been him, and then we just never gave him

1313
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 3: the respect that he deserved because we're so caught up

1314
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 3: in Okay, which team is making the biggest run or

1315
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 3: what is Lebron doing or what's going on here with

1316
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 3: ex player or y player. But I mean, k thig,

1317
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,919
Speaker 3: I'm watching all the highlights this morning. Yep, I want

1318
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 3: to go buy a Jimmy Butler jersey run with you.

1319
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not even kid, dude.

1320
01:02:58,280 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: This guy is.

1321
01:02:59,360 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 2: He's fun.

1322
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 3: He doesn't seem like he takes anything too seriously off

1323
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 3: the court, but when he's on the court, there's this

1324
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 3: flip that switches and it's just dynamic.

1325
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a dog on the court. I say, you're

1326
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 2: watching the highlights.

1327
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,439
Speaker 1: I mean the guy is absolutely amazing and be able

1328
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: to flip the switch on and off that way. Like

1329
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: you mentioned the comparisons to Kobe Bryant early on in

1330
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: the show, Kobe was one of those he turned like

1331
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: if he was in basketball mode with he whether he

1332
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: was at the podium, whether he was on the court,

1333
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. Jimmy Butler can like kill you on

1334
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 1: the court and then smile from ear to ear, you know,

1335
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: sitting on the podium and talk about like, well, you know,

1336
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: Grant's a good player.

1337
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 2: I like him.

1338
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have talked trash to me, but whatever, just say.

1339
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: It's so calm and nonchalantly, I said, makes me love

1340
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: him even more. Well, really, he's an easy guy to

1341
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: root for because of that. And it's funny because I

1342
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe if mislabeling or misunderstanding or you know,

1343
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 1: Alan Iverson was a guy that was a lot like

1344
01:03:58,360 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: this in his career.

1345
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 3: You know, that was a time still where dudes had

1346
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 3: tattoos like he did. You're like, whoa, right, what's up

1347
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 3: with that? You were right, it's just so misunderstood and

1348
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 3: it's just once and then you watch them play and

1349
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 3: you're like, okay, all right, this is my god of guy.

1350
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler seems to be that guy, and I hate

1351
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 3: it that it took us so long to figure it out.

1352
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 3: And maybe it took him some time too, right, is

1353
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 3: he a different player than he was when he's kicking

1354
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 3: everyone out of Minnesota's practice. Probably not, but I'm sure

1355
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 3: he's a different dude. He just he seems like he's

1356
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 3: having fun. And I love watching people have fun, you

1357
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 3: know why. I think it seems like he's having fun.

1358
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: Doesn't It seem like he just found the perfect place

1359
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 1: and the perfect fit to play for Pat Riley and

1360
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: Eric Spolstra and and be a tough guy in that

1361
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: culture down there, because you know, you have to be

1362
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: tough to play for Pat. So I mean, I just

1363
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 1: felt like he was in the right environment and in

1364
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: certain situations. Look, he was in Philadelphia with just the

1365
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: most entitled players you can imagine. First of all, you know,

1366
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: Brett Brown was still the coach. They were just coming

1367
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: out of the process. He still had Himbeid Heaven still,

1368
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 1: he still had Ben Simmons. So dealing with those guys,

1369
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: young guys in Minnesota, you know that they had to

1370
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,919
Speaker 1: deal with too immature. So it's just a I think

1371
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: he just found a situation that actually fit him in

1372
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: his personality, no nonsense. Placed basketball is the most important thing.

1373
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: It's a culture that's built on toughness, and I think

1374
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 1: those are you know, things that he kind of lacked

1375
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 1: in his career, with the exception of Chicago, which I

1376
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: think is why part of the reason why he thrived

1377
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: early on in Chicago.

1378
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 2: You know, It's funny.

1379
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: There's two things that happened, and I think is if

1380
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 1: we talk about the Miami heat, number one, we really

1381
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: tried to put a lot on Well, el Eric Spolster

1382
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: is only having success because he had the Big Three, right,

1383
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: and he's Patrick Riley. Who's Patrick Riley.

1384
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 3: He's pat Riley's chosen guy, so he's gonna get all

1385
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 3: the breaks. But I feel like now we're starting to realize, Okay, dude,

1386
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 3: tore damn good coach, he's armed his stripes. And then

1387
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 3: the second part of it that you kind of step

1388
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 3: back and you're like, they're right, boy. The demise of

1389
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 3: the demise of pat Riley as a GM once things

1390
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 3: fell apart for the Big Three greatly exaggerated. Yeah, so

1391
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,680

1436
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,080

1437
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 3: that little back and forth between he and Grant Williams.

1438
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 3: Here is Jimmy Butler on that trash talking with Grant

1439
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 3: Williams down the stretch.

1440
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 7: Yes, it did, but that's just competition. At his finest,

1441
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 7: he hit a big shot started talking to me.

1442
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 6: I like that. I'm all for that.

1443
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 7: It makes me ken a lot more and it pushes

1444
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,719
Speaker 7: that will that I have to win a lot more,

1445
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 7: and it makes me smile. It does when people talk

1446
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 7: to me. I'm like, Okay, I know I'm a decent

1447
01:08:58,120 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 7: player if you want to talk to me out of

1448
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 7: everybody that you can talk to. But I don't know,

1449
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 7: it's just competition. I do respect him though. He's a

1450
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 7: big part of what they try to do. He switches,

1451
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 7: he can shoot the ball. I just don't know if

1452
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 7: I'm the best person to talk to.

1453
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 2: Do you think there was this?

1454
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: What a line?

1455
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 4: You know?

1456
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 3: What's funny about it is he got Celtic fans that

1457
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 3: are because everyone has their instant reaction videos. Now, I

1458
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 3: haven't seen anyone punching a TV yet, which is usually

1459
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 3: the kind of you need that video. Someone's got to

1460
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 3: destroy an electronic device whenever something like that happens. But

1461
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 3: as funny as the fallout has been from it, kfig,

1462
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 3: in that moment, there was no one freaking out on

1463
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,640
Speaker 3: Twitter that was like, oh no, we shouldn't say that

1464
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 3: to Jimmy. It was, yeah, you let him know about it.

1465
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:48,559
Speaker 3: You don't let him come in our house and do that.

1466
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 3: You let him know Grant Williams. But as soon as

1467
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 3: it's over, you're like, man, what a dummy, how dare

1468
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 3: you do that? But in the moment, everyone in Boston

1469
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 3: was all about it because he was making a statement.

1470
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well Jimmy had the line to the final statement.

1471
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 1: The funny thing about that too is you know, like

1472
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: you ever get into like an argument with someone and

1473
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,719
Speaker 1: like the one person is screaming and ranting and Raven

1474
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: and the other guy's just really calm, And that makes

1475
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: a guy who's screaming and ranting in and Raven even

1476
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: more angry that the other guys staying calm. That's what

1477
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 1: happened because you listen to what Jimmy Butler said post

1478
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 1: game and then listen to what Grant Williams. Greg was

1479
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 1: like yeah, I'm a bleep this and that, and Jimmy's like,

1480
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: I really don't think I would talk to me like

1481
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 1: that if I was him.

1482
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:29,640
Speaker 2: Speaking of that.

1483
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 3: Speaking of that, here's a little chunk of what Grant

1484
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 3: Williams had to say about his posts are in game

1485
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:37,719
Speaker 3: beef with Jimmy Butler.

1486
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think he said something and I'll just respond it.

1487
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:39,760
Speaker 4: You know.

1488
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 14: For me, I'm a competitor. I'm gonna battle. He got

1489
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 14: the best of me tonight, and at the end of

1490
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 14: the day, it's out of respect because I'm not gonna

1491
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 14: run away from it. My mom always taught me that

1492
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 14: you get and my dad as well, you get your

1493
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 14: ass kicked, you don't come back home until you come

1494
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 14: battle again. And if you either come back before you die,

1495
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 14: you go back and you go get a win. And

1496
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 14: I'm not willing to die in this finals. I'm ready

1497
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 14: to I'm gonna win, ready to come back, come in

1498
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 14: a game through for better mentality. I know this team

1499
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 14: is as well. So at the end of the day,

1500
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 14: to nice tonight, we got to focus on let it

1501

Speaker 2: All right, So I'll have a little bit more from

1504
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 2: Grant Williams.

1505
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 3: I always get a kick out of that kind of

1506
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 3: parenting because that really is an old school way of

1507
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 3: doing it. I mean, could you imagine what would happen

1508
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 3: today if some kids said.

1509
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:30,720
Speaker 1: I got hurt, I got bullied.

1510
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 3: At school, and my dad and mom drove me back

1511
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 3: to the school and said, you're not coming home until

1512
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:35,559
Speaker 3: you beat that kid's ass.

1513
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 2: It's like nowadays, be like, put.

1514
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: That poor child in social services, get him or her

1515
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:42,120

1518
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 3: I was growing up, you get a fight, you go

1519
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 3: back in there and you don't stop until you win.

1520
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 2: They're like, whoa, that's just no different.

1521
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,719
Speaker 3: See, we wore from a different ilk, we are cut

1522
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,280

01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 3: gen X in jin Wires. No, all right, a little

1524
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 3: bit more from Grant Williams on what took place afterwards.

1525
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 4: Out of the game.

1526
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 15: Jimmy obviously thrives like these.

1527
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 1: Situations, like a question asked about that's.

1528
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 14: Something you kind of It's an emotional game, like are

1529
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 14: you thinking about something like that?

1530
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 8: When you're on these interactions like you don't want to

1531
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 8: kind of light them up or.

1532
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 14: Do none of that. You expect to beat the best,

1533
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 14: no matter if I let him up or now, he's

1534
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 14: gonna do that, And for me, it's a matter of

1535
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 14: understanding that, Yeah, sure you did poke a bear quote unquote,

1536

Speaker 14: You know, he's gonna have to make every single tough

1539
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 14: shots the rest of the series. And I'm not gonna

1540
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 14: turn and look otherwise because I respect him as a

Speaker 14: of the day, this team we have a real, real

1544
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 14: decision to make, and that decision is gonna be are

1545
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 14: we gonna come back and really set the tone on

1546
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 14: the rest of this year and we're gonna make a

1547
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 14: statement or are we gonna come out and lay down?

1548
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 14: And I don't think this team is built for laying down.

1549
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:56,839
Speaker 1: Can't tell you something, respect that's awesome.

1550
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 2: I like that.

1551
01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 1: Can we send that to Dylan Brooks?

1552
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1553
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 3: I mean that's that's this game, man, that's listen I'm

1554
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 3: not that's in here. Try to tell Grant Williams, an

1555
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,720
Speaker 3: NBA player who was a star at Tennessee. I'm not

1556
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 3: trying to tell him how to play hoops. And by

1557
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,799
Speaker 3: no means am I going to tell any NBA player

1558
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 3: what they should do. But I think I can be

1559
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 3: helpful in crisis management, and this was a crisis last

1560
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 3: yet night.

1561
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:26,600
Speaker 2: No doubts for Grant Williams.

1562
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, and maybe that should have

1563
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 3: been the first thing we played today. But listen, come on,

1564
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:33,879
Speaker 3: we gott to let Jimmy Butler have his time because

1565
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 3: to me, Kevin, that's how you handle getting your ass kicked.

1566
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 1: That is true, you know, as trash talkie if you

1567
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: want to call out that as it was. He has

1568
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: a much respect nice guy, but we got to get

1569
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:45,000
Speaker 1: some fire under us.

1570
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 2: I thought from the most part he handled it the

1571
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 2: right way.

1572
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,599
Speaker 1: The colorful language probably wasn't necessary, but I understand he's frustrated.

1573
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 1: You lost two games at home that you felt like

1574
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 1: you should have won, So I certainly understand it. And

1575
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 1: by the way, unlike Dylan Brooks, Grant Williams scored nine points.

1576
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 1: I don't think Greg Dylan Brooks what nine points the

1577
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 1: entire series against the Lakers, So you know what, it's

1578
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 1: okay to get God, yes, it happens. Yep, somebody's gonna lose.

1579
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 3: It's funny all of most of the smack talkers, most

1580
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 3: of the the the gambling people beyond like our guys

1581
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 3: like Todd Furman and Bernie Fratto that you know put

1582
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 3: their money where their mouth is, right. They they're just

1583
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 3: not there saying, oh, I guarant you know, sorry, aren't you?

1584
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 1: I know this is gonna sound.

1585
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 2: I guarantee you.

1586
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,679
Speaker 3: They're gonna win, and if they don't, they should fire everybody.

1587
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,639
Speaker 3: But you know, that's that's what just happened right there.

1588
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:37,680
Speaker 3: From Grant Williams. I know, Boston fan, I know NBA fan.

1589
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 3: You're gonna be clowning them today, maybe understandably so much

1590
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 3: respect in that post game.

1591
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that second bite that you played was not that's

1592
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 1: not the one that's been making most of the rounds

1593
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 1: Friday night.

1594
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 2: It's early Saturday morning. I'll say that.

1595
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's you know, it's sometimes it's it's not

1596
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 3: the fun way to actually give you the whole story.

1597
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 2: But that's what we do Fox Sports. That's Radio.

1598
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 3: All right, when we come back, quick little snapshot of

1599
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 3: the Lakers game and what's going on at USC. We'll

1600
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 3: try to figure it out right here on Fox Sports Radio.

1601
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:13,760
Speaker 3: The week that was coming up. To kick off our

1602
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 3: number three and to kick off our four, we'll dive

1603
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:21,719
Speaker 3: into the day ahead a lot of really fun stuff,

1604
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 3: including Lakers nuggets. Is is this a hot take? Kevin Figures?

1605
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 3: By the way, in for Anthony Gargano, I'm Chris Plank.

1606
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 3: It's Fox Sports Radio, and as always, we come to

1607
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 3: you live from the tire rack dot Com studios.

1608
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:39,120
Speaker 2: I don't know why I really like Mike Malone.

1609
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 3: I think he is a heck of a head coach

1610
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 3: and he's done an incredible job. But does he just

1611
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 3: happen to every so often catch by I don't know,

1612
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 3: first take or something out of the corner of his

1613
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:56,639
Speaker 3: eye because I am in utter.

1614
01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:57,760
Speaker 2: May what's the best?

1615
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 3: I don't want to say shock here, but my man

1616
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 3: seems to be infatuated with the way that people are

1617
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 3: talking about his team. Listen, they're winning, so I can't

1618
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 3: really make fun of it too much, but I just

1619
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 3: feel like in everything that he says, there is some

1620
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:17,640
Speaker 3: sort of frustration with the way the team is portrayed.

1621
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 2: Why is that? I don't know.

1622
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: Well, look, I will say during the regular season, for

1623
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and Anthony and I have debated

1624
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: about this on the show, he kind of felt that

1625
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 1: they were kind of, to use his words, fugazy and

1626
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,599
Speaker 1: not a real championship contender. And I said, all season long,

1627
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 1: I think they're there for real and depending on the matchups,

1628
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 1: they can really, you know, make a deep run here

1629
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 1: like they have. The problem is once the playoffs started,

1630
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 1: once they won a couple of series, going into the

1631
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,639
Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals, they were favored to win the series

1632
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 1: by Vegas and then look, every national pundit that I saw,

1633
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: and I don't watch a lot of the debate shows

1634
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 1: too often, but a lot of the national pundits pick

1635
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: Denver to win the series. So I don't understand where this,

1636
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, situation where he feels that Denver is not

1637
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 1: getting respect from people favored and people it picked you

1638
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 1: to win.

1639
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 2: What more do you want?

1640
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 1: So a couple of people here or they are going

1641
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 1: to say this is what the Lakers need to do,

1642
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: or they made some adjustments at the end of the

1643
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 1: game and it was a blowout. Look they're trying to

1644
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: sell a narrative here. They're trying to get people to

1645
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: tune in for the next game and get both to

1646
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 1: the other fan base.

1647
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 2: That's that's what it is.

1648
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: I don't think it's any personal site to Mike Malone

1649
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: or to the Nuggets in general. You're playing against Lebron

1650
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: James and Anthony Davis and the Laker franchise in general,

1651
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 1: so you have that working against you. But everybody, Look,

1652
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: most people expected you to win the series. So I

1653
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:32,600
Speaker 1: really don't understand where the chip on the shoulder of

1654
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: mentality necessarily comes from, unless it's the Michael Jordan I

1655
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,560
Speaker 1: got cut from a high school, you know, made up motivation,

1656
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: and maybe that's what it is.

1657
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 3: Chris, I don't know, and I'm always interested. Does that

1658
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 3: kind of stuff work in the NBA? Here was here

1659
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 3: was Mike Malone pre Game two between the Lakers and

1660
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:50,639
Speaker 3: the Nuts.

1661
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:52,680
Speaker 16: Much is being made of them putting really hatching more

1662
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 16: on Nikole Jokic, like we've never seen that before. But

1663
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,719
Speaker 16: there's this kind of discussion being based at like even

1664
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 16: though the Lakers lost, you know, they're walking out of

1665
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 16: here last night like they think they've got something. I'll

1666
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 16: bet you every redpenny I have that Darvin Ham would

1667
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 16: rather be up one zero than down one zero one.

1668
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 16: So for us to be able to watch film after

1669
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 16: a win and show all the things that we did

1670
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 16: poorly is a great situation to be in.

1671
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 10: Now.

1672
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 3: Again, I want to make this very clear. I don't

1673
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 3: try to watch the debate shows. They're not a big

1674
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 3: thing for me. They never happened. I couldn't even tell

1675
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:33,719
Speaker 3: you our lineup on Fox Sports one. But I really

1676
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 3: don't remember anyone going over the top to say.

1677
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 1: Man, the Lakers found something. They found something.

1678
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 3: With Hachima covering Yokich, it worked out okay for the Lakers.

1679
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 3: They minimized them. But I mean, I don't know. Did

1680
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 3: I miss a lot of radio this past week. I

1681
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 3: know it's only like twenty four hours. We get to

1682
01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 3: overanalyze these games, kfig because the NBA finally figured out

1683
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 3: it's okay to play on alternating nights.

1684
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1685
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 1: Look, unless unless he's looking like I will say if

1686
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 1: from a local standpoint in Los Angeles it was, it

1687
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 1: was a major point.

1688
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 2: Sure, So unless he's clicking over.

1689
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 1: And reading my friend Jovan Buja or my guy Daan

1690
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 1: Wookie from the La Times and the narratives that they

1691
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: wrote saying that the Lakers may have found something.

1692
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 2: I really don't. I didn't see Joe.

1693
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 1: Varden or one of these major agent and Wargonowski write

1694
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:28,639
Speaker 1: anything about that. So unless he's really have rabbit ears,

1695
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 1: I mean, because if you're digging deep into the LA

1696
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 1: Times and the Athletic and the Daily News, looking at

1697
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:36,719
Speaker 1: the press clippings from the local market in Los Angeles

1698
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 1: when you're playing in Denver, yeah, you got a lot

1699
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:40,759
Speaker 1: more problems on your hands.

1700
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 3: I would add this in the final minute we have

1701
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:45,559
Speaker 3: here an hour or two on Fox Sports Radio, just

1702
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 3: just one other thought on this. As much as I

1703
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:51,800
Speaker 3: saw this and thought, oh my gosh, what are you doing,

1704
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 3: Mike Malone, there is this And I don't know if

1705
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 3: this works in pro sports or not, but we sure

1706
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 3: as hell I have seen at work in the college game.

1707
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 3: I mean, George's out on the field after they won

1708
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,719
Speaker 3: the national championship, and you have guys talking about nobody

1709
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:06,439
Speaker 3: believed in us, nobody picked us, and.

1710
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:10,560
Speaker 1: We're like everybody from my body from jy one right exactly.

1711
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 3: You have yet the LSU women's basketball team that basically

1712
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 3: is there because their coach.

1713
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 2: Field them and that nobody believes in you. They all

1714
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:21,639
Speaker 2: believe in lsu lest we forget Travis Kelcey after the Super.

1715
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 3: Bowl, Travis Kelsey after this nobody believed in us? Yeah

1716
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 3: they did, everyone did. Maybe it's brilliance on the part

1717
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 3: of Mike Malone, but I don't know. I'm not seeing

1718
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 3: that anywhere all right. When we come back a little

1719
01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:36,360

Speaker 3: Alis Stars did last night.

1729
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: Now again kfig with the update. You heard it right there.

1730
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:13,719
Speaker 3: Big win for the Miami Heat as they put together

1731
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 3: an incredible run down the stretch to beat the Boston

1732
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:20,640
Speaker 3: Celtics in Game two. Now, I had to admit not

1733
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 3: quite the Lisa Salters, I haven't watched Nicole Yokitch play, which.

1734
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1735
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:28,840
Speaker 2: Why did that trigger me so much? Kevin?

1736
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 1: Why?

1737
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:31,599
Speaker 2: Why did that make me so mad this week?

1738
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like I sit and watch every

1739
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 3: single Nuggets game. But it's also not like Yo Kitch

1740
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,640
Speaker 3: is some rookie. I mean, this is a dude that

1741
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:44,799
Speaker 3: has been in the league eight years. His first season

1742
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 3: was twenty fifteen, and when you've been regularly covering the

1743
01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:52,719
Speaker 3: association and you step back, you're like, whoa, I haven't

1744
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 3: seen this youngster.

1745
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 2: Play ever before. This is wild. You're like, Lisa, it's

1746
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 2: this his eighth season in.

1747
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 1: The league, two time MVP by the way, he's won

1748
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 1: back to back MVPs heading into this year, arguably should

1749
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 1: have won the third straight MVP. But can you tell me,

1750
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:12,400
Speaker 1: Lisa Salters, that never has never been assigned a different

1751
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 1: Nugget game over to the eight years that he has been.

1752
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:18,400
Speaker 2: Or at the very least in eight seasons.

1753
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 3: You stumble across and they played for the NBA title, Well,

1754
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 3: they played against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals

1755
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 3: in the bubble, right, I mean, and we had nothing

1756
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 3: else to watch.

1757
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:36,639
Speaker 1: Just how did you miss this in covering the league?

1758
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 1: Don't you watch a game here or there? I mean,

1759
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:40,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I.

1760
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,680
Speaker 3: Completely understand if you're like and and maybe I'll go

1761
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 3: back and listen to it here during the break, But

1762
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 3: I just I don't think there's a lot of times

1763
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 3: when there might be a game and I don't get

1764
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:54,679
Speaker 3: to watch all of it, right.

1765
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 2: It's just it's incredible.

1766
01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 3: The ability we have to basically catch up on anything

1767
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 3: without sitting and watching the whole thing anymore. Number one,

1768
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we're here on Fox Sports Radio to always

1769
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 3: recap things.

1770
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 2: It's our job to watch it all for you.

1771
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:15,719
Speaker 3: Number two, I mean YouTube convinced games are condensed. I'm sorry,

1772
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 3: games you know, any website foxsports dot com seem as

1773
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 3: sports dot com, ESPN dot com. How yeah, yeahoosports dot com.

1774
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:27,719
Speaker 3: You can find something everywhere. How in the world could

1775
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 3: you have not seen Nicole Yokic play right?

1776
01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yo, you're right, this isn't and this isn't

1777
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: Like Shack a couple of years ago talking to Christian Wood,

1778
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 1: and it became a meme him saying like, oh, I

1779
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:42,599
Speaker 1: wasn't familiar with your game. Good look even like they

1780
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 1: make obviously they make fun of it on CNC. They

1781
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: have the who he played for segment with Charles Barkley

1782
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 1: at the first game every year, you know, cause they

1783
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:52,679
Speaker 1: know they're more entertainers there. They're not gonna sit around

1784
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:55,759
Speaker 1: and watch a Houston Rockets Pelicans game on a random Tuesday?

1785
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:56,679
Speaker 1: Should they?

1786
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 2: Sure? But do they? We know that they don't.

1787
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 1: But if you're a reputable reporter, and if that's exactly

1788
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 1: Lisa Salters's quote, is that, if that's what she said

1789
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:06,520
Speaker 1: that she hadn't seen him play before here.

1790
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 2: I found it.

1791
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 3: I'm kind of just just because I've the weekend review

1792
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 3: kicks off right now.

1793
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 2: This triggered me.

1794
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 3: Maybe it can trigger me less by really diving into

1795
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 3: it whenever. I guess we're sleeping on the back to

1796
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 3: back MVP winner from I mean Embeid wanted this year.

1797
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 3: This dude wanted him back to back years. I'm sorry, sorry,

1798
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 3: go ahead, KNT.

1799
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:31,680
Speaker 2: I don't know how you can sleep on a guy

1800
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 2: that's averaging a triple double.

1801
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:36,040
Speaker 1: But going on, here we are, I have never seen

1802
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 1: a place.

1803
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:38,840
Speaker 2: Now again, there's a clarification.

1804
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 3: I just want to jump in here because that's not

1805
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:43,839
Speaker 3: saying I haven't seen a play in person.

1806
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 2: That's saying I haven't seen him play period. I have

1807
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 2: never seen a place before.

1808
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:52,480
Speaker 9: I haven't done a game here in Denver.

1809
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,200
Speaker 4: And I was trying to figure out when it's been

1810
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 4: at least ten years. Maybe I had a game of

1811
01:24:58,240 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 4: theirs in the bubble.

1812
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 6: I think maybe I did.

1813
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:02,600
Speaker 1: But this is really.

1814
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 4: The first time I've had a chance to watch him play.

1815
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,599
Speaker 9: And I gotta admit I have been slipping on this guy.

1816
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:11,640
Speaker 5: He is spectacular.

1817
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 9: He is ridiculously good and just unstoppable.

1818
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 3: There's this one article from AP that says reveals she

1819
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 3: hadn't watched him play in person. She says she hasn't

1820
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 3: had his game, but she never says anything about in person.

1821
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 3: She just says, yeah, I've never seen him play. Yeah,

1822
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:32,839
Speaker 3: and just say if it was in person, totally understand

1823
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:36,599
Speaker 3: you haven't. I get it, even like maybe I had

1824
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,600
Speaker 3: a game in the bubble. I mean, I feel like

1825
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 3: you maybe recognize if you saw my MVP level player

1826
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 3: play in the game. Look, I know you do hundreds

1827
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 3: of games a year, and sometimes they can run together.

1828
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 3: I like, Chris, do you do college football games? And

1829
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 3: there's a lot fewer of those. But I'm sure you

1830
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 3: probably don't remember every Oklahoma Texas.

1831
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:56,639
Speaker 2: Tech game, that is right, but that's true.

1832
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 1: But still, I mean, this is one of the great

1833
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 1: players in the league, and you can't recall one time

1834
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 1: that you worked a game or happened to sit out

1835
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 1: for and watch two quarters of them play on TV.

1836
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 1: At some point I had to make you know.

1837
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 3: And maybe this is unfair of me because I did

1838
01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 3: have to make a very shocking confession the other day

1839
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:17,759
Speaker 3: because I can't tell the difference between Boomer and Sooner,

1840
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 3: the two mascots for Oklahoman. Someone pointed out Boomer has

1841
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 3: blue eyes and Sooner has brown eyes.

1842
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 2: So maybe it's unfair of me.

1843
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:30,559
Speaker 1: To question this. Yes, really down into the minutia there right,

1844
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:32,720
Speaker 1: exactly obvious. I mean, I can notice that, Chris, how

1845
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 1: do you miss that?

1846
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:33,600
Speaker 17: I know?

1847
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 2: Jeez.

1848
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 3: We'll we come to you live from the Tirack dot

1849
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:39,640
Speaker 3: Com studios with Kevin Figures. I'm Chris Plank, before we

1850
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:42,559
Speaker 3: hear more from Jimmy Butler, before we talk a little

1851
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 3: bit more about Grant Williams, before we go in depth

1852
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:49,639
Speaker 3: on a preview of tonight to Lakers Nuggets Game three,

1853
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 3: and Kevin and I have a big college football conversation

1854
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 3: we need to get into coming up here in just

1855
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 3: a bit.

1856
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:56,719
Speaker 2: I wanted to share some.

1857
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:58,840
Speaker 3: Of the highlights of the week that was not just

1858
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:02,120
Speaker 3: here on Fox Sports, but in the sports world in general.

1859
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 3: I think, you know, one of the first kind of

1860
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 3: shocking moments of the week was when Doc Rivers got fired. Now,

1861
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:11,639
Speaker 3: I don't even know what's going on in this seventy

1862
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:13,840
Speaker 3: six ers coaching search, but it's wild some of the

1863
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 3: names that have popped up. First, let's get back to

1864
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:20,599
Speaker 3: understand the why, Kathink you talked about this earlier. There's

1865
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 3: that rumor that's making the rounds that it was James

1866
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:28,640
Speaker 3: Harden that really was pushing for Doc Rivers to be replaced,

1867
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 3: and Darryl Morey pushed back against that.

1868
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:34,719
Speaker 18: The players won't have a direct input in the coach.

1869
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 18: You want to look for a coach that is a

1870
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 18: fit with you know, how we want to play and

1871
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:42,640
Speaker 18: the players we have, But the players wouldn't want to

1872
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:43,400
Speaker 18: have an input in that.

1873
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 3: And and most importantly, it was a Darryl Morey call

1874
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:49,559
Speaker 3: to move on from Doc Rivers.

1875
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 18: We felt like that was the best move for helping

1876
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 18: us get to our goals going forward. It was carefully

1877
01:27:57,080 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 18: thought out and I recommended its owner and they accepted it.

1878
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 3: And then, of course, nothing like shocking your star player, right.

1879
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 18: I think it's natural to be very close with the

1880
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:10,080
Speaker 18: people in the locker room. He was very close with

1881
01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 18: coach Rivers. Yeah, he was shocked about to change, and

1882
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 18: it's my job to help convince him that the new

1883
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 18: coach is someone that he'll have a great relationship with

1884
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 18: as well.

1885
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 3: That's Darryl Moury talking about Joel and beat So as

1886
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 3: we look back on that, I don't know if it

1887
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:29,360
Speaker 3: was necessarily too shocking Kfig, but surprising all the doc

1888
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 3: Rivers is no longer the coach of the Sixers or

1889
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 3: right time.

1890
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 2: To go ahead and make this move.

1891
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 1: Based on the things that I had heard right after

1892
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: the season ended, it has certainly sounded like he was safe.

1893
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,839
Speaker 1: I guess I'm surprised as to look if the reports

1894
01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 1: are true that James Harden was the one that ushered

1895
01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: it out and Daryl Moury, I don't think what ad

1896
01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:48,719
Speaker 1: meant to that either way, even if it was true

1897
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 1: at his press conference. But then there's reports that James

1898
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 1: Harden is opted out of his contractor may go back

1899
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,080
Speaker 1: to Houston anyway, So like, why would you make a

1900
01:28:57,080 --> 01:28:59,000
Speaker 1: decision on a head coach based on what a player

1901
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:01,960
Speaker 1: says when the player might not even return and there's

1902
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 1: a high likelihood that he won't. So that tells me

1903
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:06,920
Speaker 1: that Philadelphia this they've been stewing on this for a

1904
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:09,600
Speaker 1: little bit, and this was probably gonna happen regardless of

1905
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 1: what James Harden said or didn't say.

1906
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:13,120
Speaker 2: So I guess I'm.

1907
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 1: Inclined to believe Darryl Mory to a degree on that,

1908
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:19,759
Speaker 1: but I'm not overall, I'm not surprised. Look, I covered

1909
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:22,320
Speaker 1: Doc closely out here with the Clippers for for many years,

1910
01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 1: and his record and resume and three with a series

1911
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:29,320
Speaker 1: leads is well documented at this point in time. You know,

1912
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 1: outside of the year he had with the Celtics back

1913
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, you know, he hasn't really

1914
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:37,000
Speaker 1: done a whole lot, and he's had leads that he's blown,

1915
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:39,599
Speaker 1: and a lot of those blown leads have been for

1916
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 1: strategic reasons and things that were the fact that he

1917
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:46,360
Speaker 1: wasn't able to make adjustments within series and within games.

1918
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 1: And I saw an interview with Rashid Wallace, who was

1919
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:50,720
Speaker 1: on that twenty ten Celtic team that lost to the

1920
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:53,599
Speaker 1: Lakers in seven games, and he says, yeah, he kind

1921
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:55,120
Speaker 1: of let the players do their own thing.

1922
01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:57,679
Speaker 2: He didn't really coach a lot. He didn't adjust a lot,

1923
01:29:57,880 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 2: he said.

1924
01:29:58,160 --> 01:29:59,720
Speaker 1: He you can say he's a player's coach, and that could

1925
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:01,240
Speaker 1: be a good thing in some senses, but it can

1926
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 1: be really really bad in others. So I certainly understand that.

1927
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:07,559
Speaker 1: So I I I don't begrudge Philadelphia from moving on.

1928
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:10,559
Speaker 1: I guess the question is who do you replace them with? Right,

1929
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:12,920
Speaker 1: what's your what's your next step? You know, what's your

1930
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:14,320
Speaker 1: next move in this process?

1931
01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:14,680
Speaker 2: All right?

1932
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:18,880
Speaker 3: So Doc is out and then I guess it was

1933
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:21,679
Speaker 3: it was prior to this. Over the weekend we had

1934
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:25,719
Speaker 3: the story that really blew up involving Jahn Morant.

1935
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:29,599
Speaker 2: Now do you think that ja Morant used.

1936
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:34,920
Speaker 3: Chat GP to basically explain and apologize.

1937
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:39,639
Speaker 2: It seems like probably probably. Yes.

1938
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:44,160
Speaker 3: The funniest thing is, and again I'm not gonna pretend

1939
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:46,080
Speaker 3: like I've got too caught up in the chat GP

1940
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 3: world because I don't want to know about chat GP,

1941
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:50,320
Speaker 3: because I do not want them to find a way

1942
01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:54,120
Speaker 3: to have them replace us. Right, absolutely, we're replacing the

1943
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:57,360
Speaker 3: replacing writers. I don't need a chat GP update here

1944
01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:00,360
Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio. But with that in mind. During

1945
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 3: the NBA Draft lottery, which okay, just maybe this is

1946
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:08,559
Speaker 3: old man in me, Miss Spurs won the top pick.

1947
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 3: Victor Windbinana is on his way to San Antonio. But

1948
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:16,720
Speaker 3: can we just can we unveil the teams? I mean,

1949
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:20,920
Speaker 3: we spent two hours counting down to this thing and

1950
01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:23,960
Speaker 3: projected everywhere he could go, and then by the time

1951
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:26,400
Speaker 3: we finally find out where he's going, it's like that

1952
01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:28,680
Speaker 3: has a lot of wasted time, right because he's not

1953
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 3: going to any of those places That old man I

1954
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 3: accept it. I'm not in that demographic anymore that wants

1955
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:39,040
Speaker 3: to wait and wait and wait. But Adam Silver finally

1956
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 3: had a chance to address jah Morant. It's a little bit,

1957
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:44,960
Speaker 3: a little bit longer here I might jump in, but

1958
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:45,840
Speaker 3: he said he.

1959
01:31:45,800 --> 01:31:48,240
Speaker 2: Was shocked by the jah Morant video.

1960
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:52,080
Speaker 11: We talked directly about the consequences first, before we got

1961
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:57,280
Speaker 11: to a subsequent potential to have done something wrong. We

1962
01:31:57,280 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 11: were very focused on the misconduct that was in front

1963
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:03,680
Speaker 11: of us at the time, and frankly, most of our

1964
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:09,320
Speaker 11: conversation was about how incredibly serious the first incident was

1965
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:14,400
Speaker 11: of waiving you a firearm, you know, on social media

1966
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:19,680
Speaker 11: and again you know, and the consequences there an eight

1967
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:24,200
Speaker 11: game suspension was pretty serious and something that he, at

1968
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:27,080
Speaker 11: least to me, seemed to take incredibly.

1969
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:27,760
Speaker 6: Seriously in that time.

1970
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,920
Speaker 11: And we spoke for a long time about not just

1971
01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:35,160
Speaker 11: the consequences that could have on his career, but the

1972
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:41,280
Speaker 11: safety issues around it. Could have injured, maim killed himself

1973
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 11: someone else with an act like that, and also the

1974
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 11: acknowledgment that, as you said, he's a star. I mean,

1975
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 11: he has an incredibly huge following.

1976
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:51,200
Speaker 4: Yep.

1977
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 3: I don't really know if we need to go much

1978
01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:55,719
Speaker 3: more in depth. It sparked a hell of a debate,

1979
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:59,280
Speaker 3: and a very interesting one. Right, you know, workplace rights

1980
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 3: and what what author tie your employer has over you.

1981
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 3: But listen, all of that stops to me. Whenever you've

1982
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:10,479
Speaker 3: been warned not to do things, Yep, you have every

1983
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:13,600
Speaker 3: right in the world, John Morant to carry a firearm

1984
01:33:13,800 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 3: responsibly to protect yourself. To me, it's almost become a

1985
01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:22,080
Speaker 3: prop in his life. And Adam Silver, I mean, for

1986
01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:24,800
Speaker 3: as nerdy as that dude is, he hit it right

1987
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:26,759
Speaker 3: on the head. It's like he could have really hurt someone,

1988
01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 3: and it doesn't matter if the gun was fake, and

1989
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:31,080
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if he has a permit.

1990
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,639
Speaker 2: You were told stop it. And so that.

1991
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:37,639
Speaker 3: Major debate took over the sports world because now we

1992
01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:40,520
Speaker 3: wait Kevin figures to figure out exactly what that punishment

1993
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:41,599
Speaker 3: is going to be going forward.

1994
01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:44,360
Speaker 1: For John Moran, Yeah, you can hear in Adam Silver's voice,

1995
01:33:44,400 --> 01:33:47,160
Speaker 1: he was almost like flabbergast, like how could this have happened?

1996
01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:51,000
Speaker 1: We just talked about this. It's like he was almost speechless.

1997
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:53,280
Speaker 1: You can hear it in his voice. I don't know

1998
01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 1: what the NBA ends up doing, like to your point,

1999
01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:57,639
Speaker 1: because what it is, you're a public figure. So whether

2000
01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 1: or not he did something illegal or not, you know,

2001
01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 1: this is something that is puts a black mark on

2002
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:04,519
Speaker 1: the league and you're one of the young faces of

2003
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:07,640
Speaker 1: the league and it's bad pr And I know these

2004
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:10,640
Speaker 1: guys have clauses in their contracts for you know, conduct

2005
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:13,599
Speaker 1: detrimental to the league, and I'm not sure exactly what

2006
01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 1: that language is. You've been suspended once, you know what's

2007
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:20,280
Speaker 1: the next step, and being suspended again? Is it? You know,

2008
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:23,080
Speaker 1: thirty games can does the commissioner have the right to

2009
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:25,200
Speaker 1: do as many as he wants as the players Union

2010
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:29,280
Speaker 1: get involved, I'm not sure, but something needs to be done, obviously,

2011
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:32,400
Speaker 1: because clearly he hasn't learned his lesson at this point,

2012
01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:34,679
Speaker 1: and it's it's just a bad look for the league

2013
01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:37,800
Speaker 1: to have one of the best players, one of the

2014
01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:41,480
Speaker 1: faces of the league, continuously do something this reckless.

2015
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:43,840
Speaker 3: We're recapping the week that was here on Fox Sports

2016
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:47,880
Speaker 3: Radio a couple of other stories that really at least

2017
01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:48,799
Speaker 3: caught my attention.

2018
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:49,200
Speaker 2: Now.

2019
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:53,320
Speaker 3: It's wild because there's sometimes when the Draymond Green punch

2020
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,559
Speaker 3: of Jordan Poole seems like it was last year and

2021
01:34:56,560 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 3: that it was something that probably still wouldn't be a topic,

2022
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:01,760
Speaker 3: and then you dig and you realize, oh, yeah, the

2023
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:04,800
Speaker 3: Draymond Green punch of Jordan Poole was last year, but

2024
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:08,639
Speaker 3: for some reason it became a major talking point when

2025
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:11,440
Speaker 3: the Warriors were eliminated from the playoffs.

2026
01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:13,759
Speaker 2: Here with Steve Kerr May.

2027
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 15: There's no hiding from it. The incident with three Month

2028
01:35:17,680 --> 01:35:20,200
Speaker 15: and Jordan at the beginning of the year played a

2029
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:23,080
Speaker 15: role in that it's hard for that not to impact

2030
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:26,280
Speaker 15: a team, and so, you know, we feel like we

2031
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 15: have a great group of people on the roster, on

2032
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:31,680
Speaker 15: the coaching staff, in the front office.

2033
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:33,439
Speaker 2: We have a way of.

2034
01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:37,439
Speaker 15: Doing things that we're very proud of, but those things

2035
01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:44,120
Speaker 15: were definitely challenged this year. Anytime some trust is lost,

2036
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 15: then it makes the process much more difficult. And there

2037
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:51,320
Speaker 15: was some trust lost. And that's as blunt as I

2038
01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:51,680
Speaker 15: can be.

2039
01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie this might be a lease assault.

2040
01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:55,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of admission.

2041
01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:59,679
Speaker 3: I had completely forgot that this was during the start

2042
01:35:59,680 --> 01:36:01,760
Speaker 3: of this and after they had won the title, I

2043
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:04,840
Speaker 3: complete in my mind, I felt like this happened, you know,

2044
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:07,720
Speaker 3: in the middle of last season at some point. But

2045
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 3: it becomes I don't want to say no, I'll say

2046
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:13,759
Speaker 3: it becomes an excuse. Right now, all of a sudden,

2047
01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:17,000
Speaker 3: you get beat. You got the Warrior way, I'm hearing

2048
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:20,680
Speaker 3: about legendary performances from Steph Curry, and now all of

2049
01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:23,640
Speaker 3: a sudden, Kevin figures you get beat and something that

2050
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:26,759
Speaker 3: happened in October in practice is a reason why you're.

2051
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:27,559
Speaker 2: Out of the playoffs. Yeah.

2052
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:30,240
Speaker 1: And I will say throughout the year, this would pop

2053
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:33,519
Speaker 1: up every now and then the epic and I mean

2054
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:36,519
Speaker 1: epically bad road record that they had and saying like,

2055
01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:39,480
Speaker 1: oh the road is where you come together and there's continuity.

2056
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:41,360
Speaker 1: It's like, well, I wonder if the punch of Draymond

2057
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:43,280
Speaker 1: and Jordan Poole had something to do with it, So

2058
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:46,439
Speaker 1: that would pop up here and there throughout the season

2059
01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:49,519
Speaker 1: when they would go through their struggles, particularly on the road.

2060
01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:52,519
Speaker 1: But to your point, after they end up losing ultimately

2061
01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:56,280
Speaker 1: against the Lakers, everybody's now pointing the fingers squarely on

2062
01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:59,000
Speaker 1: that and not on the fact that, hey, maybe Klay

2063
01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:01,680
Speaker 1: Thompson has lost a bit a step, Maybe Draymond Green

2064
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 1: is not the same player, despite the fact that he's

2065
01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:06,120
Speaker 1: still asking for twenty eight million dollars a year. Maybe

2066
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:08,640
Speaker 1: Steph is kind of like the only guy left, you know,

2067
01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:11,440
Speaker 1: who really has anything left in the tank of significance

2068
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:13,320
Speaker 1: in this dynasty, and it's time to retool.

2069
01:37:13,720 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 2: Nobody's talking about that.

2070
01:37:15,240 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 1: Nobody just wants to talk about a guy getting punched

2071
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:19,240
Speaker 1: in the face in practice, like you mentioned in October

2072
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:19,880
Speaker 1: in training camp.

2073
01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 3: And by the way, Adam all right, Draymond Green added

2074
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:25,800
Speaker 3: to it just a bit as well as saying that

2075
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:29,160
Speaker 3: I think we'd still be playing if I didn't punch him.

2076
01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:32,559
Speaker 17: When you speak about the filing, when you speak about

2077
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 17: all of the slippets that we had as a team

2078
01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:38,559
Speaker 17: on the road, not being able to come together. None

2079
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:42,000
Speaker 17: of those things happens. If that doesn't happen, because the

2080
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:44,720
Speaker 17: voice that I am in the departments that I.

2081
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:47,959
Speaker 4: Lead this team in, there was a ton of slippers due.

2082
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:50,719
Speaker 17: To me sitting back, me not saying anything, me trying

2083
01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:54,160
Speaker 17: to allow that situation to play itself out and giving

2084
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 17: it time to heal.

2085
01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:57,680
Speaker 4: Well, why you're giving it all of that time? Guess what?

2086
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:01,280
Speaker 17: And I would say probably by I started to feel

2087
01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:02,679
Speaker 17: like myself again to speak more.

2088
01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:03,240
Speaker 4: But guess what.

2089
01:38:03,720 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 17: There was five months of a season where slippers has

2090
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:09,120
Speaker 17: just been occurring, and by February, if.

2091
01:38:08,960 --> 01:38:10,920
Speaker 4: That slippers has been going on that long, you are

2092
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:11,759
Speaker 4: who you are.

2093
01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:14,639
Speaker 17: At that point. You've built those habits. You've built bad habits.

2094
01:38:14,840 --> 01:38:17,600
Speaker 17: That is who you are now. So to try to correct.

2095
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:19,960
Speaker 4: Them, then it's like, okay, you may get a little better.

2096
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:20,280
Speaker 4: We did.

2097
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 17: We ended up in the second round of the playoffs,

2098
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:26,639
Speaker 17: but not at a championship level. So to answer your question, yes,

2099
01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:28,040
Speaker 17: we will still be playing.

2100
01:38:28,479 --> 01:38:29,400
Speaker 1: Can I toe you?

2101
01:38:29,479 --> 01:38:30,400
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I'm sure.

2102
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:32,720
Speaker 1: Draymond Green that's doing a speech to the team in

2103
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,320
Speaker 1: January had a lot to do with Klay Thompson going

2104
01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:37,679
Speaker 1: four or fifteen from the field and missing all those threes.

2105
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:40,120
Speaker 2: Sure, whatever you want to say, Draymond.

2106
01:38:39,840 --> 01:38:42,479
Speaker 1: Gosh, I come on.

2107
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:46,520
Speaker 3: It's funny the Lakers get lambasted for having people overcover

2108
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:51,320
Speaker 3: and defend them. But man, the soft landing cushion we've

2109
01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:54,920
Speaker 3: given the Golden State Warriors for their implosion and the

2110
01:38:55,240 --> 01:39:00,000
Speaker 3: excuses that we make just stop, just stop, all right,

2111
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:01,439
Speaker 3: and a little behind. So let's get a break when

2112
01:39:01,479 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 3: we come back. I've got two more things from this

2113
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:05,800
Speaker 3: week that I want to recap. Plus, you can't get

2114
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:09,320
Speaker 3: enough of Jimmy Butler on this Saturday morning after what

2115
01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:12,559
Speaker 3: he did last night. Miami is up two games to none.

2116
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:16,320
Speaker 3: They beat the Celtics in dramatic fashion, and Vegas takes

2117
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 3: Game one of the Western Conference Finals in.

2118
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:20,280
Speaker 1: The Stanley Cup playoffs.

2119
01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:23,040
Speaker 3: And we're talking about it all morning on Fox Sports Radio,

2120
01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:30,080
Speaker 3: The Anthony Gargano Show eighty six. Aunt who is out today?

Speaker 3: everyone should follow us.

2126
01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:46,040
Speaker 2: At Fox Sports Radio. I saw this from.

2127
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:49,439
Speaker 3: A Head News at a Head News one, He writes,

2128
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 3: Mike Malone is absolutely correct. All of the undercover Lebron

2129
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:59,360
Speaker 3: slash Laker fanboys masquerading as journalist got exposed and now

2130
01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:05,640
Speaker 3: they're mad at But I'm waiting, my I put my

2131
01:40:05,640 --> 01:40:07,360
Speaker 3: hand in the air like I'm waiting to be called

2132
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:10,080
Speaker 3: on to answer question. What has happened in this series

2133
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:12,080
Speaker 3: that isn't supposed to happen yet?

2134
01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:13,799
Speaker 2: The home teams won two.

2135
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:19,439
Speaker 3: Games, and you got great Anthony Davis in game one,

2136
01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:21,759
Speaker 3: and the Laker is a team.

2137
01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:25,200
Speaker 2: That looked to be out of it. Rallied and that

2138
01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:28,120
Speaker 2: was tight. That was tight y.

2139
01:40:28,280 --> 01:40:30,720
Speaker 3: And then in game two, K think they controlled it

2140
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:33,200
Speaker 3: early on and just fell apart late. And by the way,

2141
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:36,680
Speaker 3: this whole notion, oh, the Lakers just look gassed. The

2142
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:38,200
Speaker 3: Nuggets looked gas yea.

2143
01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:40,840
Speaker 1: By the last three minutes of Game two, both both

2144
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 1: teams were huffing and puffing, moving slowly at that point.

2145
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:47,320
Speaker 3: I mean, if you want to say, ha fanboy rint

2146
01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 3: for Lebron, all I've seen is people destroying Lebron.

2147
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Why are you settling for three pointers? How come

2148
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:56,000
Speaker 1: you're not attacking the basket? Why are you? I mean,

2149
01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:58,800
Speaker 1: Lebron's been getting destroyed by people. I don't I don't

2150
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:02,320
Speaker 1: see the Lebron stands. Yeah, Like I don't get it.

2151
01:41:02,640 --> 01:41:09,800
Speaker 1: I feel like Lebron James for he should be a

2152
01:41:09,880 --> 01:41:13,640
Speaker 1: guy that we're celebrating. He should be eight. Look at

2153
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:14,439
Speaker 1: what he's doing at.

2154
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:15,280
Speaker 2: Thirty eight years old.

2155
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:17,800
Speaker 1: I mean, my god, and the defensive effort one thing

2156
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:19,400
Speaker 1: that doesn't get talked about. And I think a big

2157
01:41:19,400 --> 01:41:21,760
Speaker 1: reason why he was gassed. How many possessions did he

2158
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:26,120
Speaker 1: defend Jyokic by himself? Yeah, I mean they're saving ad defensively,

2159
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:28,720
Speaker 1: hoping he gives them something on offense, which he didn't do.

2160
01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:31,840
Speaker 1: You know, by the way in game two, So Lebron

2161
01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:34,120
Speaker 1: was expending a lot of energy. I'm not making excuses

2162
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:36,720
Speaker 1: for him, but it's just the truth. He expended a

2163
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:38,800
Speaker 1: lot of energy defensively, and I think that war on

2164
01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 1: him and that's why he started settling for outside shots.

2165
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 1: And look even the end of game one, Chris, you know,

2166
01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:45,679
Speaker 1: they had this furious comeback, they cut it to three.

2167
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:47,720
Speaker 1: He comes down and takes an ill advised shot with

2168
01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:50,000
Speaker 1: thirty seconds left to try to tie the game instead

2169
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:51,759
Speaker 1: of driving in and trying to get a foul or something.

2170
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:52,840
Speaker 2: It's the look.

2171
01:41:52,920 --> 01:41:54,760
Speaker 1: The Lakers have had their own share of issues and

2172
01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:57,799
Speaker 1: shot themselves in the foot in certain senses in this series.

2173
01:41:58,200 --> 01:41:59,800
Speaker 1: But there's nothing that I've seen in these first two

2174
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:02,799
Speaker 1: games to your point. They've held serve. But the Lakers

2175
01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:04,639
Speaker 1: were right there at the end of both of those games.

2176
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:07,519
Speaker 1: You know, they had a furious comeback that Phil shortened

2177
01:42:07,520 --> 01:42:10,280
Speaker 1: Game one, and Jamal Murray turned into bubble Jamal Murray,

2178
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, in Game two. And I'm that's I don't

2179
01:42:12,280 --> 01:42:14,639
Speaker 1: mean that derogatory, like he's great. He's a phenomenal scorer.

2180
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:17,240
Speaker 1: We know he can score the basketball. It is no

2181
01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:19,479
Speaker 1: matter what the Lakers did defensively, no matter who was

2182
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:21,559
Speaker 1: on him, he just got hot at the right time.

2183
01:42:22,439 --> 01:42:24,440
Speaker 2: But it's not like it's insurmountable.

2184
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:28,040
Speaker 3: I I don't I guess I watched and listen to

2185
01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:32,960
Speaker 3: different shows, or maybe it's it's what some takeaway. I'm

2186
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 3: not necessarily saying that, Oh how dare you ahead?

2187
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:36,200
Speaker 16: News?

2188
01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:39,519
Speaker 3: Everyone's entitled to their opinion, sure, but I don't know

2189
01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:44,840
Speaker 3: if I see an athlete that is more openly criticized

2190
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:49,920
Speaker 3: than Lebron James. I really don't If Lebron James flops,

2191
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:53,599
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, look at him. He's flopping all over

2192
01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:57,200
Speaker 3: the place. What in the world is going on? And legit,

2193
01:42:57,320 --> 01:42:59,599
Speaker 3: you'll watch the Nuggets do it the next time down

2194
01:42:59,640 --> 01:42:59,960
Speaker 3: the court.

2195
01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's the.

2196
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:03,519
Speaker 2: League now, Yeah, that's what everybody does.

2197
01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:06,080
Speaker 1: Look, if you want to criticize them for missing layups,

2198
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:07,840
Speaker 1: he missed three of them. He had the ball slip

2199
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:10,400
Speaker 1: through his fingers. Whatever you want to attribute that to.

2200
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 1: It was bad and he admitted it was bad. It's

2201
01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:14,600
Speaker 1: a terrible look. I don't know if that's fatigue. I

2202
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 1: don't know what you want to attribute that to. But

2203
01:43:18,080 --> 01:43:20,240
Speaker 1: to say that people are just being Lebron James stands

2204
01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:22,960
Speaker 1: and sticking up for him, he gets so much more criticism.

2205
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:25,240
Speaker 1: I think because the era that he's in. He gets

2206
01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:28,320
Speaker 1: criticized a lot more. Because you can see every single highlight,

2207
01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:31,400
Speaker 1: every single thing in HD, find it on YouTube, find

2208
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 1: it on social media. No, you couldn't do that back

2209
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:38,120
Speaker 1: in the nineties. It's a different landscape and so so.

2210
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:41,439
Speaker 3: Over critical of everything that happens to come out of

2211
01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:44,599
Speaker 3: Lebron James mouth too. It's just I don't know if

2212
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 3: we've seen a guy that I feel like we should

2213
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,920
Speaker 3: celebrate more that gets criticized more than Lebron James. So

2214
01:43:52,680 --> 01:43:55,360
Speaker 3: that's what I would say I had news just in

2215
01:43:55,400 --> 01:43:59,200
Speaker 3: my opinion, I feel like that what you've seen is

2216
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:02,439
Speaker 3: a really good seer soar through two games in Boston

2217
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:04,960
Speaker 3: through two games in Denver. The difference is the road

2218
01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:07,960
Speaker 3: teams won the first two games in the Boston series,

2219
01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:10,080
Speaker 3: and the home team's done what the home team's supposed

2220
01:44:10,080 --> 01:44:12,080
Speaker 3: to do in the Lakers Nugget series.

2221
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:13,360
Speaker 1: And I will say that's your solace a few of

2222
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:15,920
Speaker 1: the Lakers. I mean, I look, I say, coming into

2223
01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:17,599
Speaker 1: this series, and I said it with ant last week,

2224
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 1: I thought the Lakers, excuse me, the Nuggets would win

2225
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:23,160
Speaker 1: in seven games. So far our prediction can hold up. Well,

2226
01:44:23,160 --> 01:44:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look, if everybody's a whole server at home,

2227
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:28,439
Speaker 1: I'm still right. So I don't like I'm admittedly a

2228
01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:30,920
Speaker 1: Laker fan. We've talked about it, as are you. I

2229
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:32,599
Speaker 1: don't want that to happen. But if I'm just being

2230
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:35,320
Speaker 1: a objective, I thought Denver was the better team, but

2231
01:44:35,360 --> 01:44:37,040
Speaker 1: I thought it would be a nip and tuck series.

2232
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:39,080
Speaker 1: It will not surprise me at all if the Lakers

2233
01:44:39,080 --> 01:44:41,759
Speaker 1: came back home and won tonight and one on Monday

2234
01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:44,040
Speaker 1: as well and pushed it back and we're tied to

2235
01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:45,720
Speaker 1: two games a piece going back for Game five.

2236
01:44:45,960 --> 01:44:48,160
Speaker 3: And I like this too from Tibron before we get

2237
01:44:48,160 --> 01:44:52,080
Speaker 3: your update k fig super Week of Draymond Green talking

2238
01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:55,519
Speaker 3: about Laye back in January and February instead of owning

2239
01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 3: up to the responsibility of being the punk who sucker

2240
01:44:58,040 --> 01:45:00,760
Speaker 3: punched a teammate back in the fall and tour part

2241
01:45:00,840 --> 01:45:01,960
Speaker 3: team unity, then.

2242
01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:04,040
Speaker 1: You know, you know it's funny.

2243
01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 3: As much as we will criticize Lebron James, I don't

2244
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:10,400
Speaker 3: feel like there's people that.

2245
01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:13,320
Speaker 1: Come to his defense in the media, very very small faction.

2246
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:18,160
Speaker 3: Draymond Green suddenly has this massive amount of defenders and supporters,

2247
01:45:18,200 --> 01:45:19,519
Speaker 3: and I don't get it. I don't know if you're

2248
01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:22,280
Speaker 3: all fanboying out because he gets a lot of views

2249
01:45:22,360 --> 01:45:24,200
Speaker 3: on his podcast or what, but.

2250
01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:25,960
Speaker 2: Probably that might be it.

2251
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:28,680
Speaker 3: But I listen to Draymond Green and I heard that,

2252
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:31,599
Speaker 3: and if I'm a Golden State Warriors fan, I mean

2253
01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:33,280
Speaker 3: I'm not like, oh, I'm glad, he admitted to it,

2254
01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 3: I'm pissed.

2255
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:38,040
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's patting himself on the back. Well,

2256
01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:39,920
Speaker 1: i'd like to I didn't do what I was supposed

2257
01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:42,280
Speaker 1: to do, and so I'm the catalyst. So if it

2258
01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:44,680
Speaker 1: wasn't for me, we would have been better. So I

2259
01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:47,639
Speaker 1: take that responsibility because I'm the team leader and everybody

2260
01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:50,760
Speaker 1: goes off of what I do. So that that's what

2261
01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:52,280
Speaker 1: it sounded like to me. It was almost like he

2262
01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:54,240
Speaker 1: was bragging about the fact that, like I'm the guy,

2263
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm the head of the snake.

2264
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Hey, Draymond likes him some, Draymond, he does.

2265
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:02,360
Speaker 3: When we come back, we owe you an update on

01:47:51,120 --> 01:47:52,760
Speaker 3: I spent a lot of time in hour one an

2306
01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:55,760
Speaker 3: hour two going back over what Jim Brown was all

2307
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:57,439
Speaker 3: about and what he meant to so many people.

2308
01:47:57,760 --> 01:47:59,760
Speaker 2: So we'll sprinkle that in a little bit more.

2309
01:47:59,800 --> 01:48:03,040
Speaker 3: Come up next hour, and we'll also preview the day ahead,

2310
01:48:03,080 --> 01:48:09,240
Speaker 3: which has two very low key exciting sporting events that

2311
01:48:09,360 --> 01:48:10,839
Speaker 3: I think everyone should embrace.

2312
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:13,880
Speaker 2: One involves softball. College softball is great.

2313
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:17,480
Speaker 3: The other involves a NASCAR The rejuvenation of North Wilkesboro

2314
01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:21,000
Speaker 3: Speedway is really a cool thing. I feel like k Fig,

2315
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 3: if this was, you know, kind of a low hanging

2316
01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:28,639
Speaker 3: fruit I know Ben Mahlor, he revolts against List season right,

2317
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:31,320
Speaker 3: he does not believe in List. But I feel like

2318
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:35,639
Speaker 3: with North Wilkesboro Speedway being something that's been rejuvenated by NASCAR,

2319
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:37,600
Speaker 3: I think this is the first. And it's not a

2320
01:48:37,600 --> 01:48:39,240
Speaker 3: Cup race, it's an All Star race, So I don't

2321
01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:41,439
Speaker 3: want to get into a semantics fight with NASCAR fan,

2322
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:45,519
Speaker 3: but I think this is the first high level NASCAR

2323
01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:48,040
Speaker 3: race they've held there since like ninety six.

2324
01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:48,639
Speaker 2: Wow.

2325
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:52,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it got me thinking, what are some sporting

2326
01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:54,280
Speaker 3: venues that you would love to see?

2327
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:57,080
Speaker 2: And most of them have been destroyed.

2328
01:48:57,240 --> 01:48:59,720
Speaker 3: So I would love to see a game in the

2329
01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:02,639
Speaker 3: old Bush Stadium. Well cool, you would have to rebuild

2330
01:49:02,720 --> 01:49:05,479
Speaker 3: it because now it's a parking lot. Or I would

2331
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:08,000
Speaker 3: love to see a game in the Georgia Dome. Awesome,

2332
01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:11,840
Speaker 3: no longer there, so in certain instances it's kind of tough.

2333
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:14,720
Speaker 3: But I just wonder if there's, if there is a

2334
01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:17,240
Speaker 3: venue out there that's kind of still standing that we

2335
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:19,840
Speaker 3: could find a way to rejuvenate. I always wanted to

2336
01:49:19,840 --> 01:49:22,160
Speaker 3: be the Astrodome, and I think they just tore that

2337
01:49:22,280 --> 01:49:23,760
Speaker 3: down not too long ago.

2338
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:26,960
Speaker 2: Sorry, I haven't got it. While yeah, been a couple

2339
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:27,479
Speaker 2: of years, but.

2340
01:49:27,760 --> 01:49:29,679
Speaker 1: Well, I know a stadium. They should tear it down.

2341
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:34,800
Speaker 1: The dump in Oakland. I love you Oakland. I love

2342
01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:35,320
Speaker 1: you so much.

2343
01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:35,960
Speaker 2: I love the city.

2344
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:38,400
Speaker 1: I think it's devastating what's happened to that city over

2345
01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:40,920
Speaker 1: the last few years with losing all the sports franchises.

2346
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:43,519
Speaker 1: But and look, they have no one to blame but themselves,

2347
01:49:43,560 --> 01:49:47,360
Speaker 1: Alla County and all that, But that stadium is a

2348
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 1: is a piece of crap.

2349
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:50,080
Speaker 3: A couple of years ago, I think k fig you

2350
01:49:50,120 --> 01:49:52,160
Speaker 3: and I were working this show and we're gonna hear

2351
01:49:52,160 --> 01:49:53,599
Speaker 3: from Jimmy Butler here in just a bit.

2352
01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:57,360
Speaker 2: But it was right when the Raiders were making their.

2353
01:49:57,280 --> 01:50:01,200
Speaker 1: Move to Vegas. And I mean, I'm a Raiders fan.

2354
01:50:01,240 --> 01:50:04,360
Speaker 3: I some people are really good about hiding their allegiances

2355
01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:08,080
Speaker 3: or basically just not telling you what they're a fan of.

2356
01:50:08,240 --> 01:50:08,920
Speaker 2: I cannot.

2357
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 1: I am glad.

2358
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:13,200
Speaker 3: That's why we got into this business to begin with.

2359
01:50:13,439 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 3: So we were like, well, I was a fan. Then

2360
01:50:15,439 --> 01:50:18,559
Speaker 3: I started covering sports. You're like, like, you're not a

2361
01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:19,520
Speaker 3: fan anymore.

2362
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:22,559
Speaker 2: Miss me with that? Yeah, yes, miss me with that.

2363
01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:24,360
Speaker 2: But here's what's funny.

2364
01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 3: I remember having a pretty passionate debate where the callers said, listen,

2365
01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:30,240
Speaker 3: you don't know.

2366
01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:32,120
Speaker 1: You don't go to O dot co. You just hear

2367
01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:33,920
Speaker 1: all the stories. It's not that bad.

2368
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:36,800
Speaker 3: And you know this is now going on four years ago,

2369
01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:39,760
Speaker 3: and in those four years as bad as it was

2370
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:40,439
Speaker 3: four years.

2371
01:50:40,280 --> 01:50:43,080
Speaker 1: Ago, Kevin, they haven't even tried to.

2372
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:46,920
Speaker 3: Do anything right to not just any upgrades, which it's

2373
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:48,719
Speaker 3: almost as if they've looked at it and said beyond

2374
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:53,240
Speaker 3: repair whatever. Right, But every idea seems so high in

2375
01:50:53,280 --> 01:50:54,880
Speaker 3: the sky. It's like a buddy that calls you with

2376
01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:57,479
Speaker 3: a pyramid scheme, So you got this great investment plan

2377
01:50:57,560 --> 01:51:00,240
Speaker 3: for you, Kevin, All I need is twenty thousand dollars.

2378
01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:01,559
Speaker 2: Okay, That's what I feel like.

2379
01:51:01,680 --> 01:51:04,680
Speaker 3: Every single one of these ideas that Oakland comes up

2380
01:51:04,720 --> 01:51:08,400
Speaker 3: with has been for for anything, to save the A's

2381
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:11,400
Speaker 3: or to save the Raiders, and there was any I mean,

2382
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:14,280
Speaker 3: everyone's just like, oh, yeah, the Warriors are still the

2383
01:51:14,320 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 3: Golden State Warriors, but they're in San Francisco now. So

2384
01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:19,800
Speaker 3: I mean it's just it's it's really sad. I love Oakland, man,

2385
01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:21,240
Speaker 3: I just hate it for that that community.

2386
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, the community is It's a tough blow because I look,

2387
01:51:24,520 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 1: I love going up there, I would fly up for

2388
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:29,680
Speaker 1: for Raider games a couple of times a season up

2389
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:32,599
Speaker 1: until the last couple of years. First, and that stadium

2390
01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:35,120
Speaker 1: is a dump despite look, maybe it's one of those

2391
01:51:35,120 --> 01:51:37,120
Speaker 1: things that says, hey, it's a dump, but it's our dump,

2392
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:39,479
Speaker 1: So maybe it has a charm to some people who

2393
01:51:39,479 --> 01:51:41,679
Speaker 1: are up there. I'll mean, look, the A's are still

2394
01:51:41,680 --> 01:51:43,360
Speaker 1: playing there now, you can't tell if you look in

2395
01:51:43,400 --> 01:51:45,320
Speaker 1: the stands. There's about four people that go to games,

2396
01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:48,639
Speaker 1: which is also sad because that's a proud franchise too.

2397
01:51:48,680 --> 01:51:50,920
Speaker 1: That at has a great legacy and a great history.

2398
01:51:52,080 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, the city the county could not get out

2399
01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:58,200
Speaker 1: of its own way. So many private projects tried to

2400
01:51:58,200 --> 01:51:59,960
Speaker 1: get done, they tried to use public money to get

2401
01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:01,160
Speaker 1: it done.

2402
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:02,559
Speaker 2: And there was just too much red tape to cut through.

2403
01:52:03,080 --> 01:52:06,400
Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate that a city that was that prout,

2404
01:52:06,479 --> 01:52:09,880
Speaker 1: that had three franchises, you know, playing together in the

2405
01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:12,479
Speaker 1: epicenter right off of the bart where you had where

2406
01:52:12,479 --> 01:52:15,600
Speaker 1: the Warriors played right next to the Oakland Alameda Colisseum,

2407
01:52:16,080 --> 01:52:18,360
Speaker 1: and that place is basically going to be desolate now

2408
01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:20,639
Speaker 1: there's going to be nothing going on. Sad.

2409
01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 2: It really is sad.

2410
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:24,280
Speaker 3: I'd like to go, though, once the a's are gone,

2411
01:52:24,360 --> 01:52:26,680
Speaker 3: just walk around. I might cry a little bit, not

2412
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:28,880
Speaker 3: because of like a smell or anything, but just for

2413
01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:30,000
Speaker 3: the memory to sit in there.

2414
01:52:30,439 --> 01:52:31,280
Speaker 2: Maybe the smell will.

2415
01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:32,720
Speaker 1: Pick up a piece of SEUWI should take with you

2416
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:36,320
Speaker 1: as the as a going away present. I would say,

2417
01:52:36,479 --> 01:52:42,680
Speaker 1: of all the true fan bases city wide, you know,

2418
01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm I grew up in Saint Louis, I would maybe

2419
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:49,440
Speaker 1: try to fight for Saint Louis football fans.

2420
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:51,240
Speaker 2: But we're oh for two, so that sucks.

2421
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:54,240
Speaker 3: I might, you know, shed a little bit of a

2422
01:52:54,280 --> 01:52:58,759
Speaker 3: tear for Seattle basketball fans, and it's kind of wild

2423
01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:02,879
Speaker 3: to see how confrontational this is between Seattle and OKAC.

2424
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:05,719
Speaker 3: But it looks like Seattle's going to get another team.

2425
01:53:06,240 --> 01:53:09,120
Speaker 3: I felt some sadness when the Colts led Baltimore, but

2426
01:53:09,160 --> 01:53:12,320
Speaker 3: you got the Ravens, and when Cleveland left Cleveland to

2427
01:53:12,360 --> 01:53:15,120
Speaker 3: become Baltimore, and maybe all that, but you got the

2428
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:18,000
Speaker 3: Browns back. Oakland is that city though to where it

2429
01:53:18,080 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 3: truly it's sad. I feel terrible because they're great fans

2430
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:24,880
Speaker 3: and they're great people. They deserve they deserve to have

2431
01:53:24,920 --> 01:53:26,960
Speaker 3: a state of the art facility. They deserve to still

2432
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:28,920
Speaker 3: have the Raiders there and the A's there, and it's

2433
01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:30,920
Speaker 3: just it's unfortunate.

2434
01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 1: Considering the state of you know, where the city is

2435
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:35,120
Speaker 1: at this point in time. You know, there was hope,

2436
01:53:35,200 --> 01:53:38,120
Speaker 1: there was always hope that the NBA could return to Seattle.

2437
01:53:38,160 --> 01:53:39,600
Speaker 1: I think there's still this liver of hope that the

2438
01:53:39,680 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 1: NFL could eventually learn one more time return to Saint Louis.

2439
01:53:44,120 --> 01:53:45,960
Speaker 1: Don't you get a feel that they're like, it's like

2440
01:53:46,040 --> 01:53:48,840
Speaker 1: Oakland is pretty much done done at this point. This

2441
01:53:49,000 --> 01:53:50,439
Speaker 1: is it, that was it, that's it.

2442
01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:53,479
Speaker 3: All right, quick break, So when we come back, let's

2443
01:53:53,520 --> 01:53:55,720
Speaker 3: dive into a little bit more of Jimmy Butler's post game.

2444
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 3: So far tonight this morning, it was dark when the

2445
01:53:59,200 --> 01:54:02,360
Speaker 3: show started out. So far this morning, the main focus

2446
01:54:02,400 --> 01:54:06,240
Speaker 3: has been on Jimmy Butler versus Grant Williams. But how

2447
01:54:06,280 --> 01:54:08,800
Speaker 3: about what Miami was able to do as a team

2448
01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:11,840
Speaker 3: during that final stretch. Sure, Jimmy had nine of the

2449
01:54:11,880 --> 01:54:15,599
Speaker 3: twenty four points, but there were some really good team

2450
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:18,559
Speaker 3: things that happened and maybe a little luck. We'll dive

2451
01:54:18,600 --> 01:54:23,040
Speaker 3: into it next on Fox. All right, Aunt is out

2452
01:54:23,320 --> 01:54:26,559
Speaker 3: just for today. Fox Sports Radio I'm Chris Plank sitting

2453
01:54:26,560 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 3: in with Kevin figures. All right, let's relift some of

2454
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:33,720
Speaker 3: that fourth quarter magic last night for the Miami Heat.

2455
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:38,000
Speaker 3: Here was the final call. This is courtesy of the

2456
01:54:38,040 --> 01:54:42,400
Speaker 3: Miami Heat Radio network. Aus Brown fires up the last

2457
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:49,000
Speaker 3: shot at Game two belows to the Heat one eleven

2458
01:54:49,120 --> 01:54:54,040
Speaker 3: one O five. You could hear the discomfort in the crowd.

2459
01:54:54,200 --> 01:54:56,160
Speaker 3: Maybe is a good way to put it, Kevin. Yes,

2460
01:54:57,960 --> 01:55:00,880
Speaker 3: here's a couple of wild stats the Heater six and

2461
01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:03,640
Speaker 3: two this postseason when trailing by ten or more points.

2462
01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:07,839
Speaker 3: The rest of the NBA is will that be forty

2463
01:55:07,960 --> 01:55:12,760
Speaker 3: five games under five hundred and fifteen and sixty that's incredible.

2464
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:15,480
Speaker 2: Six and two when down by double digits, that's unreal.

2465
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:16,800
Speaker 1: It makes no sense.

2466
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:17,640
Speaker 2: Has an eighth.

2467
01:55:17,480 --> 01:55:23,240
Speaker 3: Seedees and and we should add Jimmy Butler. For as

2468
01:55:23,400 --> 01:55:28,000
Speaker 3: much of the conversation that has centered around he V

2469
01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:32,360
Speaker 3: Grant Williams, he at least, you know, keeps some perspective

2470
01:55:32,440 --> 01:55:36,040
Speaker 3: on how Miami was able to do what they did.

2471
01:55:36,480 --> 01:55:39,880
Speaker 7: Honestly, they just missed some shots. That's part of the game.

2472
01:55:41,920 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 7: I think our game plan is kind of simple in

2473
01:55:44,280 --> 01:55:44,960
Speaker 7: the fourth quarter.

2474
01:55:45,120 --> 01:55:46,760
Speaker 6: If I'm being brutally honest.

2475
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:49,840
Speaker 7: It's kind of like, give me the ball to move,

2476
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:53,960
Speaker 7: and I gotta I'm tasked with making the right play,

2477
01:55:55,520 --> 01:55:57,320
Speaker 7: sometimes to shoot the ball, most of the time to

2478
01:55:57,360 --> 01:55:59,240
Speaker 7: shoot the ball, and a lot of times it's passed

2479
01:55:59,240 --> 01:56:02,440
Speaker 7: the ball to the open and I pride myself on

2480
01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:04,200
Speaker 7: finding that open guy.

2481
01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:04,800
Speaker 6: I really do.

2482
01:56:05,280 --> 01:56:08,080
Speaker 7: I want to get all my teammates involved. And I've

2483
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:11,800
Speaker 7: never been a guy to say that the player than

2484
01:56:11,840 --> 01:56:14,160
Speaker 7: I am today isn't because of my teammates. It's always

2485
01:56:14,240 --> 01:56:16,640
Speaker 7: because of them. They always make shots. It makes my

2486
01:56:16,760 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 7: job so much easier. If I get beat on defense,

2487
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:22,920
Speaker 7: somebody's always there. I have so much faith in this

2488
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:26,600
Speaker 7: group of guys that we have, and I've said.

2489
01:56:26,400 --> 01:56:29,400
Speaker 6: It all year along. We're gonna ride with one another

2490
01:56:29,400 --> 01:56:30,040
Speaker 6: to the little fall.

2491
01:56:32,040 --> 01:56:32,640
Speaker 2: Incredible.

2492
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:34,800
Speaker 1: I still can't believe people don't like him.

2493
01:56:35,440 --> 01:56:38,320
Speaker 2: What's not to like? I don't get it. It's awesome.

2494
01:56:39,120 --> 01:56:43,000
Speaker 3: So well, okay, let's we haven't spent a lot of

2495
01:56:43,040 --> 01:56:46,400
Speaker 3: time talking the Boston side of this from last night, right,

2496
01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:49,600
Speaker 3: it's been a lot of clowning on Grant Williams, and

2497
01:56:49,680 --> 01:56:52,879
Speaker 3: I thought he handled it with class. Well, we'll reset

2498
01:56:52,920 --> 01:56:55,280
Speaker 3: that whole saga from last night coming up here in

2499
01:56:55,440 --> 01:56:58,320
Speaker 3: just a bit. But it's more than just Grant Williams

2500
01:56:58,520 --> 01:57:00,880
Speaker 3: talking trash, right. I mean, this is a team that

2501
01:57:01,480 --> 01:57:03,640
Speaker 3: went into a shell in the final few minutes when

2502
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:07,000
Speaker 3: you have you know, your shot creator and Jason Tatum,

2503
01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 3: and you know, I know he struggled for beyond the

2504
01:57:09,040 --> 01:57:11,160
Speaker 3: three point line, just three of ten, but still finished

2505
01:57:11,160 --> 01:57:15,000
Speaker 3: with thirty four points. You know where was Jalen Brown

2506
01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:18,160
Speaker 3: ye down the stretch? He was terrible last night. I mean,

2507
01:57:18,480 --> 01:57:19,800
Speaker 3: how do you recover right now?

2508
01:57:19,800 --> 01:57:23,320
Speaker 1: If you're Boston, you have to go back to your principles,

2509
01:57:23,320 --> 01:57:26,240
Speaker 1: playing tough defense. And look, it's gonna be raucus out

2510
01:57:26,240 --> 01:57:27,960
Speaker 1: there in Miami, But I think this is one of

2511
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:31,160
Speaker 1: those Jason Tatum has to play in this game. You know,

2512
01:57:31,200 --> 01:57:33,360
Speaker 1: the way he played in the close out game against Boston,

2513
01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:36,640
Speaker 1: that's what it's gonna take, or excuse me, against Philadelphia,

2514
01:57:37,360 --> 01:57:39,560
Speaker 1: like he's gonna have to will them to a win. Look,

2515
01:57:39,600 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 1: I know the overall again, his numbers were fine. He

2516
01:57:42,120 --> 01:57:43,720
Speaker 1: was ten of twenty from the field. You mentioned he

2517
01:57:43,720 --> 01:57:46,960
Speaker 1: didn't shoot the three ball well. With thirty four points,

2518
01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:49,240
Speaker 1: this might be one of those where he's gonna have

2519
01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:52,160
Speaker 1: to like go for forty and not just Tomorrow night,

2520
01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:54,880
Speaker 1: but Tuesday night too, and kind of put the team

2521
01:57:54,920 --> 01:57:57,880
Speaker 1: on his back because right now the Celtics are not

2522
01:57:57,920 --> 01:58:01,040
Speaker 1: showing the same level of toughness and want that the

2523
01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:04,720
Speaker 1: Miami heater that the Miami Miami Heat have. For whatever reason,

2524
01:58:04,800 --> 01:58:07,360
Speaker 1: I don't know why that is. I don't know what's missing.

2525
01:58:07,400 --> 01:58:10,200
Speaker 1: And again, these are the seeds of something that's been

2526
01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:12,640
Speaker 1: happening since the beginning of the playoffs. This team has

2527
01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:15,680
Speaker 1: been leaky since the opening round against Atlanta. There are

2528
01:58:15,720 --> 01:58:19,480
Speaker 1: times against Philadelphia where they were questionable. So I look,

2529
01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:22,240
Speaker 1: I certainly coming into this series I expected Boston to win.

2530
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:24,880
Speaker 1: I certainly didn't expect Miami to win both games in

2531
01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:27,720
Speaker 1: Boston to start the series, but I certainly would not

2532
01:58:27,720 --> 01:58:30,280
Speaker 1: have been surprised either. Have Miami found a way to

2533
01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:33,720
Speaker 1: win the series, because Boston has just shown their inconsistency

2534
01:58:33,760 --> 01:58:36,800
Speaker 1: all postseason long, and Joe Miszula thinks he's Phil Jackson

2535
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:39,160
Speaker 1: or something just will not call time outs when his

2536
01:58:39,200 --> 01:58:41,640
Speaker 1: team is struggling. I don't know. This happened in Game

2537
01:58:41,680 --> 01:58:44,160
Speaker 1: one in the third quarter, and it happened last night

2538
01:58:44,200 --> 01:58:46,960
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. I don't understand what Joe Missoula's doing.

2539
01:58:47,480 --> 01:58:51,520
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting because I can't help but wonder

2540
01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:55,880
Speaker 3: how loud the ticking of that clock is right now.

2541
01:58:56,240 --> 01:58:59,480
Speaker 3: Not just Celtics fans, but you know front office, and

2542
01:59:00,720 --> 01:59:03,600
Speaker 3: you know you have, oh, I don't know, you have

2543
01:59:03,640 --> 01:59:06,760
Speaker 3: a fairly strong core. I think in Jason Tatum, you

2544
01:59:06,800 --> 01:59:08,960
Speaker 3: know Jalen Brown, you got a decision to make as

2545
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:11,680
Speaker 3: far as his long term viability is concerned. I mean,

2546
01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:14,480
Speaker 3: Al Horford just turned fifty eight years old, so I

2547
01:59:14,480 --> 01:59:17,800
Speaker 3: mean you got his future might be you know, unknown,

2548
01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:18,560
Speaker 3: But I.

2549
01:59:18,920 --> 01:59:21,840
Speaker 1: Just you're paying your yilk, You're paying Broggen for a

2550
01:59:21,880 --> 01:59:24,280
Speaker 1: couple of years. Marcus Smart just signs an extension. Derek

2551
01:59:24,320 --> 01:59:25,400
Speaker 1: White's not going anywhere.

2552
01:59:26,120 --> 01:59:29,240
Speaker 3: I just I always remember these conversations that we would

2553
01:59:29,240 --> 01:59:32,160
Speaker 3: have about remember Lob City in LA and it's like, oh,

2554
01:59:32,160 --> 01:59:34,120
Speaker 3: they're just not gonna win. Remember they gotta blow this

2555
01:59:34,160 --> 01:59:38,080
Speaker 3: thing up, right, And the response was usually can blow

2556
01:59:38,120 --> 01:59:38,280
Speaker 3: it up?

2557
01:59:38,320 --> 01:59:38,880
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do?

2558
01:59:39,360 --> 01:59:42,000
Speaker 3: And obviously the Clippers made a big swing for the fences,

2559
01:59:42,040 --> 01:59:43,680
Speaker 3: and so far it's been a swing and a miss.

2560
01:59:44,160 --> 01:59:45,960
Speaker 3: But I can't I can't help and wonder what that

2561
01:59:46,920 --> 01:59:49,400
Speaker 3: what would be for the Boston Celtics.

2562
01:59:49,400 --> 01:59:52,120
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like your only movable asset would be

2563
01:59:52,240 --> 01:59:54,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, who, by the way, has been outspoken about

2564
01:59:55,440 --> 01:59:59,120
Speaker 1: his disdain at times for the fan base, so he's

2565
01:59:59,160 --> 02:00:01,240
Speaker 1: very been very open about that. So if they're looking

2566
02:00:01,240 --> 02:00:04,240
Speaker 1: at doing a major shakeup in the offseason that everybody

2567
02:00:04,240 --> 02:00:05,960
Speaker 1: else is pretty much locked in for the next couple

2568
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:09,000
Speaker 1: of years. Jalen Brown's an expiring contract at the end

2569
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:11,040
Speaker 1: of next season, so that might be something to keep

2570
02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:12,160
Speaker 1: an eye on. All right.

2571
02:00:12,200 --> 02:00:16,120
Speaker 3: When we come back the Day Ahead, more from Jimmy Butler.

2572
02:00:16,240 --> 02:00:20,920
Speaker 3: Reaction from Grant Williams is uh is everyone aware that

2573
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:23,520
Speaker 3: this is a major horse racing day in the sports

2574
02:00:23,520 --> 02:00:26,360
Speaker 3: world too? Kind of under the radar. We'll dive into

2575
02:00:26,400 --> 02:00:28,400
Speaker 3: it next in the final hour right here on Fox

2576
02:00:28,440 --> 02:00:31,720
Speaker 3: Sports Radio. Like a lot of recapping. Right last night,

2577
02:00:31,800 --> 02:00:33,840
Speaker 3: the Miami Heat took care of business. We're gonna hear

2578
02:00:33,920 --> 02:00:36,760
Speaker 3: more from Jimmy Butler and Grant Williams. That's a two

2579
02:00:36,800 --> 02:00:40,280
Speaker 3: games to none series advantage. But kfig. We kicked off

2580
02:00:40,360 --> 02:00:43,120
Speaker 3: last hour with recapping the week that was and the

2581
02:00:43,240 --> 02:00:46,040
Speaker 3: night that was. For our final hour, let's get everyone

2582
02:00:46,040 --> 02:00:50,680
Speaker 3: fired up about the day ahead and obviously Western Conference Finals,

2583
02:00:50,800 --> 02:00:56,880
Speaker 3: Game three, the series shifts to LA and Laker's been

2584
02:00:56,920 --> 02:00:59,360
Speaker 3: really good at home so far in the playoffs. They

2585
02:00:59,760 --> 02:01:02,040
Speaker 3: you know, they've done a nice job on the road.

2586
02:01:02,040 --> 02:01:04,680
Speaker 3: They'd won their series opener on the road. So far

2587
02:01:04,840 --> 02:01:09,520
Speaker 3: throughout the entire playoffs hasn't happened here. But your thoughts

2588
02:01:09,640 --> 02:01:12,240
Speaker 3: is someone who's covered this closely. I mean, I just

2589
02:01:13,280 --> 02:01:14,480
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm Jimmy but Well.

2590
02:01:14,480 --> 02:01:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I'm Jimmy Butler.

2591
02:01:15,880 --> 02:01:17,600
Speaker 3: But I feel like I'm saying the same thing Jimmy

2592
02:01:17,600 --> 02:01:19,839
Speaker 3: Butler said in the post game right they talked about

2593
02:01:20,760 --> 02:01:23,920
Speaker 3: Boston missed some shots. I feel like this is Captain obvious,

2594
02:01:23,960 --> 02:01:26,320
Speaker 3: but Lakers just need to make some shots down the stretch.

2595
02:01:26,360 --> 02:01:29,480
Speaker 3: I feel like they're doing enough. They're doing a better

2596
02:01:29,560 --> 02:01:32,240
Speaker 3: job defensively. There's not a lot of easy open looks

2597
02:01:32,240 --> 02:01:34,200
Speaker 3: for the Nuggets, or at least, you know, not that

2598
02:01:34,240 --> 02:01:34,760
Speaker 3: I'm seeing.

2599
02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:37,080
Speaker 2: Jokic is making it look easy at times.

2600
02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:40,440
Speaker 3: But they've got to be smarter with their shots selection,

2601
02:01:40,560 --> 02:01:43,520
Speaker 3: and hopefully Austin Reeves can stay hot because he's been

2602
02:01:43,560 --> 02:01:44,960
Speaker 3: one of their best offensive weapons.

2603
02:01:44,960 --> 02:01:46,280
Speaker 2: What do you need to see from them tonight?

2604
02:01:46,440 --> 02:01:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, you need to see Lebron and Anthony Davis

2605
02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:51,240
Speaker 1: step up and give them something offensively, you know. For

2606
02:01:51,520 --> 02:01:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Lakers dominated the majority of Game two,

2607
02:01:55,080 --> 02:01:56,720
Speaker 1: but one thing that people don't talk about is the

2608
02:01:56,760 --> 02:01:59,240
Speaker 1: fact that neither Lebron or ad played well offensively. It

2609
02:01:59,280 --> 02:02:02,280
Speaker 1: was Ruy Hodge and Austin Reeves that carried him offensively.

2610
02:02:02,320 --> 02:02:05,040
Speaker 1: So it's almost like, you know, I mean, you almost

2611
02:02:05,080 --> 02:02:07,120
Speaker 1: won that game with two of your best players not

2612
02:02:07,160 --> 02:02:10,320
Speaker 1: even playing that well offensively. So I look, we're beyond

2613
02:02:10,400 --> 02:02:13,560
Speaker 1: Morol victories. In the postseason. Talked about this after Game one.

2614
02:02:13,680 --> 02:02:16,680
Speaker 1: You think you found a magic elixir with Hachimura on Jokich,

2615
02:02:16,720 --> 02:02:19,360
Speaker 1: but you still lost. You're still down oh two, regardless

2616
02:02:19,400 --> 02:02:22,000
Speaker 1: of how good you may have looked doing it. But look,

2617
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:24,320
Speaker 1: the role players typically pay play better at home. I'm

2618
02:02:24,320 --> 02:02:26,920
Speaker 1: looking at you, D'Angelo Russell, who has been a litmus test,

2619
02:02:26,960 --> 02:02:29,800
Speaker 1: by the way for them. When he plays well, the

2620
02:02:29,880 --> 02:02:32,920
Speaker 1: Lakers typically win, and they win big. Now, it's been

2621
02:02:32,960 --> 02:02:34,960
Speaker 1: a tough matchup for him because they've been they've been

2622
02:02:35,240 --> 02:02:37,520
Speaker 1: pointing him out and attacking him directly because they know

2623
02:02:37,600 --> 02:02:40,640
Speaker 1: he's not good defensively. So look that might they might

2624
02:02:40,680 --> 02:02:42,800
Speaker 1: alter the starting lineup again and put d' angelo Russell

2625
02:02:42,840 --> 02:02:44,880
Speaker 1: on the bench and start Dennis Shrewder. We'll have to

2626
02:02:44,880 --> 02:02:48,360
Speaker 1: see how that goes. But I expect a better performance

2627
02:02:48,360 --> 02:02:50,240
Speaker 1: from Lebron James, who I think and I don't think

2628
02:02:50,240 --> 02:02:52,760
Speaker 1: he wouldn't say this, but I think he's embarrassed to

2629
02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:55,040
Speaker 1: miss layups. He missed that reverse layup that would have

2630
02:02:55,040 --> 02:02:57,120
Speaker 1: cut it to too late, the ball that slipped out

2631
02:02:57,160 --> 02:02:59,520
Speaker 1: of his hands settling for the threes. He still hasn't

2632
02:02:59,560 --> 02:03:01,800
Speaker 1: made it three owner yet in the series. So I

2633
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:06,080
Speaker 1: would expect huge performances from both Lebron James and Anthony Davis. Uh.

2634
02:03:06,240 --> 02:03:08,200
Speaker 2: And I expect them to get a victory tonight.

2635
02:03:08,240 --> 02:03:10,840
Speaker 1: Now what happens Monday night, we'll see, uh, But I

2636
02:03:10,840 --> 02:03:12,920
Speaker 1: certainly expect the Lakers to get a victory in Game

2637
02:03:12,920 --> 02:03:13,760
Speaker 1: three at home tonight.

2638
02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:15,800
Speaker 2: How do you see it going, Well, it's kind of

2639
02:03:15,840 --> 02:03:16,280
Speaker 2: the same way.

2640
02:03:16,320 --> 02:03:19,480
Speaker 3: Here's what Anthony Davis said afterwards about just how this

2641
02:03:19,560 --> 02:03:21,880
Speaker 3: team hold on ant my bad, how this team needs

2642
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:23,640
Speaker 3: to be a little bit more efficient and defensively.

2643
02:03:24,080 --> 02:03:28,320
Speaker 9: The first second one was background and the next one

2644
02:03:28,360 --> 02:03:30,440
Speaker 9: in the same exact spot, runs in and out. So

2645
02:03:31,080 --> 02:03:33,080
Speaker 9: like the all the looks that I got today, a

2646
02:03:33,080 --> 02:03:36,880
Speaker 9: lot of them short. Now I'm going to continue to

2647
02:03:36,920 --> 02:03:40,200
Speaker 9: shoot those shots that said I gotta be better, more efficient.

2648
02:03:40,760 --> 02:03:45,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, and here's what I'm interested to see, which Anthony

2649
02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:51,040
Speaker 3: Davis shows up, because man, when he is, he's on.

2650
02:03:51,200 --> 02:03:52,160
Speaker 1: He's been fantastic.

2651
02:03:52,240 --> 02:03:54,400
Speaker 3: Now, someone could be really negative and say, well, the

2652
02:03:54,480 --> 02:03:56,720
Speaker 3: Lakers have lost three of their last four playoff games.

2653
02:03:56,800 --> 02:03:59,880
Speaker 3: Well guess what the all three of those losses have

2654
02:04:00,240 --> 02:04:03,120
Speaker 3: on the road for the Lakers so far in these playoffs.

2655
02:04:03,200 --> 02:04:07,240
Speaker 3: I want to see Anthony Davis continue to be the

2656
02:04:07,320 --> 02:04:09,320
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis that we saw in Game one.

2657
02:04:10,160 --> 02:04:13,400
Speaker 2: The Lakers lost Game two whenever.

2658
02:04:13,520 --> 02:04:17,600
Speaker 3: You had a terrible performance from both Anthony Davis and

2659
02:04:17,920 --> 02:04:19,080
Speaker 3: Lebron James in the.

2660
02:04:19,040 --> 02:04:20,240
Speaker 1: Second half of that game.

2661
02:04:20,760 --> 02:04:24,120
Speaker 3: But I'm not one of those guys that buys into

2662
02:04:24,320 --> 02:04:27,280
Speaker 3: oh they're tired. Everyone looked tired in that game. I mean,

2663
02:04:27,320 --> 02:04:29,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if we all watch a different game

2664
02:04:29,280 --> 02:04:32,400
Speaker 3: down the stretch, but everyone looked gasted. I want to

2665
02:04:32,440 --> 02:04:35,880
Speaker 3: see the forty point Anthony Davis from Game one to where, Yeah,

2666
02:04:35,920 --> 02:04:39,000
Speaker 3: he struggled on the defensive end, but it was lost

2667
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:40,000
Speaker 3: in what Jokich did.

2668
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:41,280
Speaker 2: He finished with forty to ten.

2669
02:04:41,720 --> 02:04:45,600
Speaker 3: That four for fifteen performance with just eighteen points, turning

2670
02:04:45,600 --> 02:04:48,640
Speaker 3: the ball over four times whenever. I think that's the

2671
02:04:48,680 --> 02:04:50,720
Speaker 3: most he had turned the ball over since the Game

2672
02:04:50,760 --> 02:04:54,880
Speaker 3: two loss. Maybe this Game three against the against the

2673
02:04:54,880 --> 02:04:57,600
Speaker 3: Golden State Wars and I was Game two against the Warriors.

2674
02:04:57,760 --> 02:04:58,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

2675
02:04:58,440 --> 02:05:01,360
Speaker 3: I want to see more aggress play from Anthony Davis

2676
02:05:01,440 --> 02:05:04,680
Speaker 3: and not just settling for that. I get it, it

2677
02:05:04,720 --> 02:05:06,320
Speaker 3: was a wide open look, but he takes a couple

2678
02:05:06,360 --> 02:05:08,720
Speaker 3: of dribbles on that finals that not final shot, but

2679
02:05:08,800 --> 02:05:10,200
Speaker 3: that late shot, he might.

2680
02:05:10,120 --> 02:05:11,800
Speaker 1: Have an easy layup. I want to see this team

2681
02:05:11,800 --> 02:05:12,560
Speaker 1: be more aggressive.

2682
02:05:12,640 --> 02:05:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, attack the paint. Well, look, that's what the Lakers.

2683
02:05:14,800 --> 02:05:17,080
Speaker 1: Look, there's a reason why they have such a wide

2684
02:05:17,120 --> 02:05:20,240
Speaker 1: free throw differential versus other team in the league. It's

2685
02:05:20,280 --> 02:05:22,080
Speaker 1: because they attack the rim. They know they're not a

2686
02:05:22,160 --> 02:05:24,680
Speaker 1: great three point shooting team. If they make threes, that's

2687
02:05:24,680 --> 02:05:27,400
Speaker 1: a bonus for them. So they're a team that has

2688
02:05:27,440 --> 02:05:29,480
Speaker 1: to attack the paint. And look, it's not like the

2689
02:05:29,520 --> 02:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets have Cammie Matumbo in the middle, you know

2690
02:05:32,320 --> 02:05:35,240
Speaker 1: what I mean. They don't have a defensive stopper. So look,

2691
02:05:35,280 --> 02:05:37,280
Speaker 1: I think it's incumbent upon Lebron. I think one thing

2692
02:05:37,320 --> 02:05:39,280
Speaker 1: they can get lost to and I'm not making an excuse,

2693
02:05:39,320 --> 02:05:41,920
Speaker 1: but I think it's important. The Lakers have kind of

2694
02:05:41,960 --> 02:05:45,760
Speaker 1: been in playoff mode for like three months now, like

2695
02:05:46,080 --> 02:05:48,840
Speaker 1: they're fighting for their playoff lives the entire month, a

2696
02:05:48,880 --> 02:05:51,000
Speaker 1: month and a half before the end of the regular season,

2697
02:05:51,560 --> 02:05:53,080
Speaker 1: just to make it into the play in or try

2698
02:05:53,120 --> 02:05:55,720
Speaker 1: to avoid the play in, and they earn the seventh seed.

2699
02:05:56,040 --> 02:05:57,680
Speaker 1: So those guys, these guys are putting up, you know,

2700
02:05:57,760 --> 02:06:00,920
Speaker 1: thirty eight, thirty nine, and it's for the last couple

2701
02:06:00,960 --> 02:06:04,160
Speaker 1: of months. So I do think there's a potential cumulative

2702
02:06:04,160 --> 02:06:06,720
Speaker 1: effect when it comes to guys like Lebron who is

2703
02:06:06,760 --> 02:06:09,120
Speaker 1: thirty eight years old and Anthony Davis who has the

2704
02:06:09,120 --> 02:06:10,720
Speaker 1: body of a thirty eight year old as often as

2705
02:06:10,720 --> 02:06:13,320
Speaker 1: he gets injured. So that's something to look at. But

2706
02:06:13,680 --> 02:06:15,240
Speaker 1: we've seen them dig deep and be able to do

2707
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:18,920
Speaker 1: it before, especially Anthony Davis. You look until in his

2708
02:06:19,000 --> 02:06:21,320
Speaker 1: defense he mentioned it and the clip you just played,

2709
02:06:21,960 --> 02:06:24,360
Speaker 1: he had some good looks that he typically would make

2710
02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:27,000
Speaker 1: and he missed him for Maybe he just had had

2711
02:06:27,040 --> 02:06:29,280
Speaker 1: an off night, maybe he didn't have the legs underneath him.

2712
02:06:29,480 --> 02:06:32,000
Speaker 1: Who knows what the situation might have been. But the

2713
02:06:32,080 --> 02:06:35,280
Speaker 1: typical pattern this postseason for Anthony Davis has been for

2714
02:06:35,360 --> 02:06:39,040
Speaker 1: every dud, he comes back in play spectacular. So if

2715
02:06:39,080 --> 02:06:41,360
Speaker 1: the pattern keep holds true, he should have a good

2716
02:06:41,360 --> 02:06:42,400
Speaker 1: performance later tonight.

2717
02:06:42,600 --> 02:06:45,400
Speaker 3: Now, I'm not gonna lie as someone who lives in

2718
02:06:45,480 --> 02:06:48,560
Speaker 3: God's time zone, the Central time zone. Yes, I love

2719
02:06:48,600 --> 02:06:52,440
Speaker 3: the seven thirty Central time, eight thirty Eastern tip, but

2720
02:06:53,240 --> 02:06:56,000
Speaker 3: is it. It's a Saturday, so I don't really know

2721
02:06:56,040 --> 02:06:57,360
Speaker 3: how problematic it is.

2722
02:06:57,440 --> 02:07:00,080
Speaker 1: But you okay with it? That five thirty tip on

2723
02:07:00,120 --> 02:07:02,720
Speaker 1: the West Coast, I'm okay with it on a weekend.

2724
02:07:03,160 --> 02:07:05,840
Speaker 1: It was a little Thursday at five thirty would have

2725
02:07:05,840 --> 02:07:08,960
Speaker 1: been was tough sledding. I don't know. I'm guessing. I

2726
02:07:09,000 --> 02:07:11,440
Speaker 1: think the tip time is the same throughout the entire series.

2727
02:07:11,520 --> 02:07:14,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, so Monday night at five thirty, it's gonna

2728
02:07:14,640 --> 02:07:16,400
Speaker 1: be a bit of a late arriving crowd, to say

2729
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:19,240
Speaker 1: the least in LA maybe the maybe the lower bowl

2730
02:07:19,240 --> 02:07:21,000
Speaker 1: will be filled in by the start of the second half.

2731
02:07:21,360 --> 02:07:23,320
Speaker 1: There's a reason why they tip games off at seven

2732
02:07:23,400 --> 02:07:27,360
Speaker 1: thirty local time. You've you've made trips out here, Chris,

2733
02:07:27,400 --> 02:07:30,360
Speaker 1: You know how bad traffic can be. It look even

2734
02:07:30,440 --> 02:07:33,560
Speaker 1: on a Saturday at five thirty, it's it's terrible. Uh So,

2735
02:07:34,080 --> 02:07:36,760
Speaker 1: but tomorrow will be a little bit better, a better environment.

2736
02:07:36,800 --> 02:07:36,920
Speaker 12: One.

2737
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:39,880
Speaker 1: It's a must win Staple Center, excuse me, Crypto dot

2738
02:07:39,960 --> 02:07:41,960
Speaker 1: Com Arena. It still timmy a while to get used to.

2739
02:07:41,960 --> 02:07:45,320
Speaker 1: That is going to be absolutely rocking this year. This

2740
02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:47,040
Speaker 1: is a franchise. Look, they won the world they won

2741
02:07:47,080 --> 02:07:49,600
Speaker 1: the championship in twenty twenty in the bubble, not in

2742
02:07:49,640 --> 02:07:52,080
Speaker 1: front of their own home fans. Uh They didn't have

2743
02:07:52,120 --> 02:07:54,560
Speaker 1: full capacity when they made the playoffs the year after

2744
02:07:54,600 --> 02:07:55,960
Speaker 1: that and when they lost to the Suns in the

2745
02:07:55,960 --> 02:07:58,000
Speaker 1: first round, and this is the first time they've made

2746
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:00,520
Speaker 1: the postseason since then. But I have to you like

2747
02:08:00,680 --> 02:08:04,240
Speaker 1: the elimination games. The Game six is against Golden State

2748
02:08:04,280 --> 02:08:08,600
Speaker 1: in Memphis. That place was insane, absolutely insane, and I

2749
02:08:08,640 --> 02:08:11,640
Speaker 1: expect the same environments but to take place tonight. So

2750
02:08:11,680 --> 02:08:14,640
Speaker 1: they're definitely gonna have a home court advantage on Snight,

2751
02:08:14,680 --> 02:08:16,560
Speaker 1: so they better take advantage of it because they're probably

2752
02:08:16,600 --> 02:08:18,080
Speaker 1: not gonna have much of it. To start the game

2753
02:08:18,120 --> 02:08:20,560
Speaker 1: on Monday with a bit of a later riving crowd

2754
02:08:20,560 --> 02:08:21,560
Speaker 1: with a five thirty.

2755
02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:25,919
Speaker 3: Tip, a thirty Eastern seven thirty Central. ABC has the coverage,

2756
02:08:25,960 --> 02:08:28,880
Speaker 3: and of course we'll have instant reaction tonight for you

2757
02:08:29,280 --> 02:08:31,480
Speaker 3: right here on Fox Sports Radio. I think it's Jason

2758
02:08:31,520 --> 02:08:34,200
Speaker 3: Martin and Aaron Torres who are in tonight, so immediate

2759
02:08:34,240 --> 02:08:36,840
Speaker 3: post game reaction right here on Fox Sports Radio. Eastern

2760
02:08:36,840 --> 02:08:41,000
Speaker 3: Conference Finals, Game two in the Stanley Cup. Now again,

2761
02:08:42,320 --> 02:08:45,040
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go all Lias Assaulters

2762
02:08:45,240 --> 02:08:49,800
Speaker 3: on you here are Shack. I was not familiar with

2763
02:08:49,840 --> 02:08:52,880
Speaker 3: your game, but I can't sit here and pretend like

2764
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:56,040
Speaker 3: I've watched the Panthers and the Hurricanes all year long.

2765
02:08:56,600 --> 02:09:00,160
Speaker 3: But Bagah, when these teams get together, they seem to

2766
02:09:00,200 --> 02:09:02,320
Speaker 3: bring out the best in each other. You have the

2767
02:09:02,400 --> 02:09:05,640
Speaker 3: four overtime thriller that the Panthers won in Game one.

2768
02:09:06,080 --> 02:09:08,800
Speaker 3: What could be on tap tonight? TNT has the coverage

2769
02:09:08,800 --> 02:09:11,880
Speaker 3: for you again, five o'clock Pacific time. Anything more we

2770
02:09:11,920 --> 02:09:14,520
Speaker 3: need to add on the wonderful sport of hockey here.

2771
02:09:14,800 --> 02:09:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but I hope this Conference Finals

2772
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:18,880
Speaker 1: continues to play the play out the way that it

2773
02:09:18,880 --> 02:09:21,800
Speaker 1: has so far through two games. I mean four overtimes

2774
02:09:21,800 --> 02:09:24,440
Speaker 1: in Game one out East and then overtime in Game

2775
02:09:24,480 --> 02:09:25,200
Speaker 1: one in the West.

2776
02:09:25,400 --> 02:09:27,840
Speaker 2: Look, we might not have a hockey.

2777
02:09:27,560 --> 02:09:30,640
Speaker 1: Royalty, to say the least, right, you know, in these

2778
02:09:30,640 --> 02:09:32,920
Speaker 1: conference finals, But I look, I think the game in

2779
02:09:32,920 --> 02:09:34,880
Speaker 1: and of itself, as long as its play beautifully and

2780
02:09:34,920 --> 02:09:36,800
Speaker 1: we have some competitive matchups, I think that's all you

2781
02:09:36,840 --> 02:09:37,240
Speaker 1: can ask.

2782
02:09:37,360 --> 02:09:37,520
Speaker 2: Now.

2783
02:09:37,560 --> 02:09:39,840
Speaker 3: We brought this up a little bit ago as we

2784
02:09:40,320 --> 02:09:42,800
Speaker 3: preview the day of the day ahead here on Fox

2785
02:09:42,840 --> 02:09:45,920
Speaker 3: Sports Radio. That of course is Kevin Figures. You hear

2786
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:48,240
Speaker 3: him here every Saturday morning. I'm Chris Plank sitting in

2787
02:09:48,280 --> 02:09:51,400
Speaker 3: for Anthony Gargano. It is a big day in the

2788
02:09:51,440 --> 02:09:54,560
Speaker 3: sport of horse racing. Now, let's be honest. Has it

2789
02:09:54,760 --> 02:09:58,160
Speaker 3: necessarily been banner times for horse racing? I feel like

2790
02:09:58,200 --> 02:10:01,680
Speaker 3: all the news we get is is terrible news in

2791
02:10:02,360 --> 02:10:06,480
Speaker 3: conjunction to horses losing their lives things of that nature.

2792
02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:10,720
Speaker 3: But today at four point thirty Eastern, we'll have the

2793
02:10:10,760 --> 02:10:15,760
Speaker 3: Preakness coverage that starts on NBC. The race is set

2794
02:10:15,840 --> 02:10:19,920
Speaker 3: for a little bit after seven o'clock Eastern times, so

2795
02:10:20,360 --> 02:10:22,760
Speaker 3: Pimlico will be rocking in Baltimore.

2796
02:10:23,440 --> 02:10:27,400
Speaker 2: I'm not I gotta be honest with you.

2797
02:10:27,600 --> 02:10:30,440
Speaker 3: I need I need a rock star horse, right, I do,

2798
02:10:30,560 --> 02:10:33,160
Speaker 3: because I'm just I'm out. I feel like everyone is

2799
02:10:33,240 --> 02:10:36,840
Speaker 3: just falling, falling apart. So I kind of like two

2800
02:10:36,840 --> 02:10:39,400
Speaker 3: pills today, maybe Angel of Empire to keep an eye on.

2801
02:10:39,840 --> 02:10:41,640
Speaker 2: But the twenty twenty three.

2802
02:10:41,480 --> 02:10:45,200
Speaker 3: Preakness is this afternoon, this early evening, I guess on

2803
02:10:45,240 --> 02:10:46,680
Speaker 3: the East coast doing anything for you?

2804
02:10:47,040 --> 02:10:50,320
Speaker 1: Yuh not real. Look, the star of the weakness is

2805
02:10:50,320 --> 02:10:52,640
Speaker 1: not a horse. It's the fact that Bob Baffort is back.

2806
02:10:52,720 --> 02:10:56,080
Speaker 1: So what does that tell you? So I feel like

2807
02:10:56,160 --> 02:10:58,400
Speaker 1: and look, Bob is like obviously a king on the

2808
02:10:58,400 --> 02:11:02,120
Speaker 1: sport of horse racing. He's had his share of issues,

2809
02:11:02,160 --> 02:11:04,080
Speaker 1: to say the least over the last couple of years,

2810
02:11:04,280 --> 02:11:05,360
Speaker 1: hence the suspensions.

2811
02:11:05,920 --> 02:11:06,880
Speaker 2: Phenomenal trainer.

2812
02:11:07,400 --> 02:11:09,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, to your point, we want to see a

2813
02:11:09,320 --> 02:11:11,240
Speaker 1: horse that would be able to dominate the Kentucky Derby.

2814
02:11:11,240 --> 02:11:12,640
Speaker 1: You have a chance to win the Preakness and then

2815
02:11:12,680 --> 02:11:15,320
Speaker 1: make a run of the Triple Crown. But outside of that,

2816
02:11:15,440 --> 02:11:18,840
Speaker 1: I think that horse racing from a mainstream standpoint kind

2817
02:11:18,840 --> 02:11:21,280
Speaker 1: of doesn't have the luster as it did some years ago.

2818
02:11:21,520 --> 02:11:24,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would love to sit here and tell you

2819
02:11:24,320 --> 02:11:29,600
Speaker 3: that we are having your traditional fun Saturday night All

2820
02:11:29,640 --> 02:11:32,720
Speaker 3: Star race kind of a conversation in my beloved sport

2821
02:11:33,200 --> 02:11:36,960
Speaker 3: of NASCAR, and I don't. I mean, maybe this is

2822
02:11:37,040 --> 02:11:42,160
Speaker 3: a decision because there's issues with the track, but NASCAR

2823
02:11:42,280 --> 02:11:44,960
Speaker 3: is not holding any of its All Star festivities until

2824
02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:48,400
Speaker 3: tomorrow night. So six o'clock East during Tomorrow night with

2825
02:11:48,440 --> 02:11:51,080
Speaker 3: the All Star Open, they've got truck races today. If

2826
02:11:51,080 --> 02:11:53,320
Speaker 3: you're a true neck like I am, you'll be all

2827
02:11:53,360 --> 02:11:56,440
Speaker 3: about it. You get USFL football today. Of course, the

2828
02:11:56,600 --> 02:11:59,840
Speaker 3: XFL is done, but the USFL is in full swing.

2829
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:04,040
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh versus Memphis, Birmingham versus Michigan, and here we are,

2830
02:12:04,720 --> 02:12:07,080
Speaker 3: you know, almost you know, three and a half hours

2831
02:12:07,080 --> 02:12:09,680
Speaker 3: into the show, and I haven't brought up the PGA

2832
02:12:09,840 --> 02:12:13,520
Speaker 3: Championship yet. You would think you would think having an

2833
02:12:13,520 --> 02:12:16,280
Speaker 3: event that's just on the cusp of teeing off as

2834
02:12:16,320 --> 02:12:19,560
Speaker 3: this show is on the air, that we would be

2835
02:12:19,600 --> 02:12:21,120
Speaker 3: fired up and talking about it.

2836
02:12:21,160 --> 02:12:23,400
Speaker 2: But no, no, this.

2837
02:12:23,920 --> 02:12:28,080
Speaker 3: I love golf right and I'm saying this as someone

2838
02:12:28,120 --> 02:12:31,520
Speaker 3: who would play every day if they could. I could

2839
02:12:31,560 --> 02:12:33,720
Speaker 3: not have less interest in what's going on in the

2840
02:12:33,720 --> 02:12:37,800
Speaker 3: PGA Championship right now. I have no idea why, Kevin

2841
02:12:37,880 --> 02:12:41,680
Speaker 3: I love major golf events, and it has nothing to

2842
02:12:41,720 --> 02:12:42,640
Speaker 3: do with live golf.

2843
02:12:43,280 --> 02:12:45,200
Speaker 2: It's a great course, a.

2844
02:12:45,160 --> 02:12:47,600
Speaker 3: Lot of neat names at the top of the leaderboard,

2845
02:12:47,640 --> 02:12:51,040
Speaker 3: and Scottie Scheffler and Corey Connors, and I think I

2846
02:12:51,040 --> 02:12:53,320
Speaker 3: think it's been cool to see suddenly a slim down

2847
02:12:53,640 --> 02:12:55,000
Speaker 3: Bryce into Shambeau and the mix.

2848
02:12:55,040 --> 02:12:57,680
Speaker 2: In fact, here's what he said, gee.

2849
02:12:57,560 --> 02:12:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, looks good. Looks good.

2850
02:12:59,680 --> 02:13:01,840
Speaker 2: Here's what he said about actually feeling good right now.

2851
02:13:01,920 --> 02:13:03,560
Speaker 18: Quite a few years where I was like, man, I

2852
02:13:03,600 --> 02:13:06,040
Speaker 18: don't know if I can hold it for four rounds

2853
02:13:06,080 --> 02:13:08,200
Speaker 18: and do like I did in wing Foot.

2854
02:13:08,200 --> 02:13:10,240
Speaker 2: But after today, I feel like I can so a

2855
02:13:10,240 --> 02:13:11,800
Speaker 2: lot more. I got a lot more years for my career.

2856
02:13:11,840 --> 02:13:13,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's only two shots off the lead and three

2857
02:13:14,040 --> 02:13:16,240
Speaker 3: under Brooks kept kiz right, there are three shots off

2858
02:13:16,240 --> 02:13:16,920
Speaker 3: the lead as well.

2859
02:13:17,120 --> 02:13:20,440
Speaker 2: I don't know why Oka I can't get into this thing.

2860
02:13:20,320 --> 02:13:20,960
Speaker 1: For some reason.

2861
02:13:21,000 --> 02:13:21,720
Speaker 2: So not luckless.

2862
02:13:21,720 --> 02:13:23,200
Speaker 1: So if you're a purist and you just love the

2863
02:13:23,200 --> 02:13:25,400
Speaker 1: game and love the competition, that's one thing you're in.

2864
02:13:25,640 --> 02:13:29,000
Speaker 1: But also I do think the live factor has kind

2865
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:31,280
Speaker 1: of died down a little bit. Look, Brooks and Bryson

2866
02:13:31,440 --> 02:13:33,480
Speaker 1: was like a budding robbery two years ago. The guys

2867
02:13:33,480 --> 02:13:35,720
Speaker 1: hated each other. Well now they're on the Lift Tour.

2868
02:13:35,760 --> 02:13:38,440
Speaker 1: They're both sitting fat and happy, they're making all their money.

2869
02:13:38,440 --> 02:13:41,760
Speaker 1: Who cares. Who cares if they win the PGA Championship

2870
02:13:41,880 --> 02:13:44,720
Speaker 1: or not. They're fine, it doesn't matter. So I feel

2871
02:13:44,720 --> 02:13:46,840
Speaker 1: like there's and then like Roy McElroy, like all of

2872
02:13:46,880 --> 02:13:48,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, mum is the word when talking about live

2873
02:13:49,000 --> 02:13:51,240
Speaker 1: when he was one of those outspoken people about it.

2874
02:13:51,520 --> 02:13:54,520
Speaker 2: Now all of a sudden, he has nothing to say. Unfortunately.

2875
02:13:54,560 --> 02:13:56,520
Speaker 1: I think golf to a certain degree kind of needs

2876
02:13:56,560 --> 02:13:59,560
Speaker 1: the added drama of the Live versus the PGA. Are

2877
02:13:59,600 --> 02:14:02,400
Speaker 1: these guys chirping back at each other and you kind

2878
02:14:02,400 --> 02:14:04,360
Speaker 1: of don't have that or haven't had that the last

2879
02:14:04,360 --> 02:14:07,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. So I certainly think that from a

2880
02:14:07,040 --> 02:14:10,440
Speaker 1: mainstream standpoint, if you're not a diehard, that kind of

2881
02:14:10,440 --> 02:14:12,200
Speaker 1: takes a little bit of the luster out of it

2882
02:14:12,200 --> 02:14:12,480
Speaker 1: for you.

2883
02:14:12,800 --> 02:14:16,520
Speaker 3: And then one final thing to look forward to today.

2884
02:14:16,840 --> 02:14:20,160
Speaker 3: So if I can't sell you on Lakers Nuggets Game three,

2885
02:14:21,080 --> 02:14:24,720
Speaker 3: seven thirty tips Central time, eight thirty Eastern, if I

2886
02:14:24,760 --> 02:14:28,800
Speaker 3: can't sell you on Panthers and Hurricanes Game two and

2887
02:14:28,840 --> 02:14:32,280
Speaker 3: a wild Eastern Conference Finals, if you're like me and

2888
02:14:32,320 --> 02:14:35,600
Speaker 3: the PGA championship isn't really doing it for you. You

2889
02:14:35,640 --> 02:14:39,480
Speaker 3: gotta wait till tomorrow for NASCAR, or you're you're tired

2890
02:14:39,520 --> 02:14:42,680
Speaker 3: of seeing Bob Baffort interviewed because apparently he's the biggest

2891
02:14:42,720 --> 02:14:45,840
Speaker 3: story at the Preakness. Allow me to give you my

2892
02:14:45,960 --> 02:14:50,200
Speaker 3: beloved sport of college softball, where tonight you could see

2893
02:14:50,240 --> 02:14:54,360
Speaker 3: one of the top seeds get eliminated, Ucla kfig.

2894
02:14:54,480 --> 02:14:56,960
Speaker 2: Ucla got beat last night. Incredible.

2895
02:14:57,440 --> 02:15:00,520
Speaker 3: The number two team in the country got beat in

2896
02:15:00,560 --> 02:15:03,920
Speaker 3: their regional. They're fighting for their postseason lives today. They

2897
02:15:04,000 --> 02:15:06,560
Speaker 3: got to play two games to advance to the regional final.

2898
02:15:06,920 --> 02:15:10,400
Speaker 3: My beloved Oklahoma Sooners, the top team in the country,

2899
02:15:10,440 --> 02:15:14,960
Speaker 3: play this afternoon at a noon Pacific two o'clock Central time.

2900
02:15:15,320 --> 02:15:17,640
Speaker 1: Lot of cool stuff. Again, there's a lot going on,

2901
02:15:17,840 --> 02:15:20,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's all over the four letter networks. Give

2902
02:15:20,960 --> 02:15:22,600
Speaker 1: it a look. I think you'll like it. I think

2903
02:15:22,600 --> 02:15:24,920
Speaker 1: you'll enjoy it. Okay, yeah, I you have a piece

2904
02:15:25,720 --> 02:15:27,760
Speaker 1: Ucla fighting for their postseason lives.

2905
02:15:27,960 --> 02:15:30,120
Speaker 2: Things that are going to be fascinating to follow.

2906
02:15:30,360 --> 02:15:32,680
Speaker 3: So there is a look ahead at what's on tap

2907
02:15:32,720 --> 02:15:34,840
Speaker 3: in the sports world today. When we come back. There

2908
02:15:34,920 --> 02:15:38,000
Speaker 3: is one major story. I mean one massive story in

2909
02:15:38,040 --> 02:15:40,720
Speaker 3: the college sports world that Kevin Figures and I have

2910
02:15:40,920 --> 02:15:44,120
Speaker 3: not talked about yet. So when we come back, let's

2911
02:15:44,120 --> 02:15:47,840
Speaker 3: get into exactly what's going on right now at USC

2912
02:15:48,320 --> 02:15:52,400
Speaker 3: and the sudden resignation resignation of Mike Bone, plus more

2913
02:15:52,440 --> 02:15:55,720
Speaker 3: from Jimmy Butler around the corner here on Fox Sports Radio,

02:16:23,800 --> 02:16:27,160
Speaker 3: Sports Radio, But for the next forty minutes or so,

2921
02:16:27,280 --> 02:16:30,240
Speaker 3: Kevin and I are gonna recap the win for the

2922
02:16:30,240 --> 02:16:32,880
Speaker 3: Heat last night and look ahead to the Lakers. Got

2923
02:16:32,920 --> 02:16:36,160
Speaker 3: some good tweets to hit at Plank Show, at KFIG

2924
02:16:36,200 --> 02:16:40,840
Speaker 3: one and of course at Fox Sports Radio. But fascinated

2925
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:44,280
Speaker 3: to get your take as somebody who loves college sports

2926
02:16:44,360 --> 02:16:46,879
Speaker 3: as much as I do, Kevin with what's happened at

2927
02:16:47,000 --> 02:16:53,359
Speaker 3: USC Mike Bone and Bohn pronounced Bone. Mike Bone resigned Friday,

2928
02:16:54,040 --> 02:16:59,480
Speaker 3: and the La Times has been chronically and constantly updating this.

2929
02:16:59,560 --> 02:17:03,800
Speaker 3: So I'm very grateful for the reporting work that's done

2930
02:17:03,840 --> 02:17:07,960
Speaker 3: here by right, was it Ryan Carchi's Yeah, Ryan Carchi,

2931
02:17:08,080 --> 02:17:12,720
Speaker 3: great job, Brian. But I was shocked by this because

2932
02:17:13,040 --> 02:17:15,879
Speaker 3: so I went back last night. Mike Bonen has done

2933
02:17:15,879 --> 02:17:18,240
Speaker 3: a great job at USC. Right spearheaded their move to

2934
02:17:18,280 --> 02:17:21,280
Speaker 3: the Big ten, hired Lincoln Riley, has kind of brought

2935
02:17:21,360 --> 02:17:24,360
Speaker 3: USC football back to relevance, you know, from Afar. It

2936
02:17:24,480 --> 02:17:28,199
Speaker 3: really looks like things are cooking for the USC athletic department,

2937
02:17:28,640 --> 02:17:30,840
Speaker 3: And I thought, okay, are there other issues here? I

2938
02:17:30,879 --> 02:17:32,960
Speaker 3: went back and watched some old interviews trying to read

2939
02:17:33,000 --> 02:17:35,600
Speaker 3: into it. But things seem to be really good. But

2940
02:17:36,879 --> 02:17:40,960
Speaker 3: when things are good, there's not an internal investigation that

2941
02:17:41,120 --> 02:17:43,080
Speaker 3: has put forth. But what do you make of this?

2942
02:17:43,280 --> 02:17:46,840
Speaker 3: And I guess what some comments that he made had

2943
02:17:46,920 --> 02:17:50,160
Speaker 3: left some female colleagues feeling awkward.

2944
02:17:50,600 --> 02:17:52,160
Speaker 2: Is that the reporting we're getting now?

2945
02:17:52,360 --> 02:17:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they brought in this outside firm to investigate,

2946
02:17:55,920 --> 02:17:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, the allegations of I won't go as far

2947
02:17:59,280 --> 02:18:04,160
Speaker 1: as calling sexual his conduct, but certainly some unwanted advances

2948
02:18:04,240 --> 02:18:07,599
Speaker 1: comments that he's made towards female staffers that make them uncomfortable.

2949
02:18:07,959 --> 02:18:09,800
Speaker 1: And look, they brought in a review in Cara Fault,

2950
02:18:09,840 --> 02:18:12,760
Speaker 1: the president of the university, even talked about a thorough

2951
02:18:12,760 --> 02:18:17,000
Speaker 1: review of the athletic department in her statement. So this

2952
02:18:17,040 --> 02:18:19,400
Speaker 1: is something that obviously has been percolating for a while.

2953
02:18:19,440 --> 02:18:22,600
Speaker 1: This doesn't just happen overnight. It just became. It became

2954
02:18:22,680 --> 02:18:26,320
Speaker 1: public early Friday afternoon, you know, first with Bone releasing

2955
02:18:26,320 --> 02:18:28,080
Speaker 1: his statement and initially.

2956
02:18:27,920 --> 02:18:29,080
Speaker 2: And it was kind of a footnote.

2957
02:18:29,120 --> 02:18:31,960
Speaker 1: And you know, you know, our colleague Petros Papadakas, who

2958
02:18:32,000 --> 02:18:34,080
Speaker 1: does a show on our local affiliate AM five seventy

2959
02:18:34,160 --> 02:18:36,320
Speaker 1: LI Sports, brought this up on his local show. He says,

2960
02:18:36,400 --> 02:18:41,040
Speaker 1: usually if it is indeed a health issue, that's the headline, right,

2961
02:18:41,120 --> 02:18:42,920
Speaker 1: you say, like, hey, you know, Mike Bone steps down

2962
02:18:43,000 --> 02:18:43,800
Speaker 1: due to health issues.

2963
02:18:44,040 --> 02:18:45,080
Speaker 2: It was a footnote.

2964
02:18:45,440 --> 02:18:47,880
Speaker 1: It was one of the last words in the actual statement,

2965
02:18:48,120 --> 02:18:50,720
Speaker 1: which makes you raise a couple of eyebrows as to like, well,

2966
02:18:50,879 --> 02:18:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean, health issues usually would be number one.

2967
02:18:53,080 --> 02:18:55,240
Speaker 2: So that tells you that there's a lot more at

2968
02:18:55,280 --> 02:18:55,800
Speaker 2: play there.

2969
02:18:55,879 --> 02:18:59,160
Speaker 1: So whatever it is, clearly it was a big enough

2970
02:18:59,160 --> 02:19:01,800
Speaker 1: deal for you as look they're reporting with Ryan Krchy

2971
02:19:01,920 --> 02:19:05,240
Speaker 1: and you mentioned he keeps updating this on the LA Times.

2972
02:19:06,200 --> 02:19:09,039
Speaker 1: Was that Mike Bone had been told to stop. I'm paraphrasing,

2973
02:19:09,120 --> 02:19:11,640
Speaker 1: but he had. These sort of things have been brought

2974
02:19:11,680 --> 02:19:14,480
Speaker 1: to the attention of to the of the administration. He

2975
02:19:14,560 --> 02:19:17,120
Speaker 1: was told to stop, and apparently he didn't do that.

2976
02:19:17,520 --> 02:19:20,520
Speaker 1: He was also apparently absentee at times. There was meetings,

2977
02:19:20,600 --> 02:19:23,280
Speaker 1: important meetings that he didn't show up to, didn't really

2978
02:19:23,360 --> 02:19:26,840
Speaker 1: pay much attention to football collectives that have been trying

2979
02:19:26,879 --> 02:19:29,400
Speaker 1: to organize and get together for the department, not paying

2980
02:19:29,480 --> 02:19:32,039
Speaker 1: much attention to them, just kind of being a little

2981
02:19:32,040 --> 02:19:35,039
Speaker 1: bit absent as an athletic director, which obviously you can't do.

2982
02:19:35,680 --> 02:19:38,360
Speaker 1: So all these things have kind of piled up against

2983
02:19:38,440 --> 02:19:41,640
Speaker 1: them to a point where he ends up resigning and

2984
02:19:41,680 --> 02:19:44,440
Speaker 1: you can't see me doing air quotes, basically a way

2985
02:19:44,440 --> 02:19:48,040
Speaker 1: for them to say face. He resigns, mutual partying, whatever

2986
02:19:48,040 --> 02:19:50,000
Speaker 1: you want to call it, but for all intents and purposes,

2987
02:19:50,080 --> 02:19:55,640
Speaker 1: he was fired. I I don't know.

2988
02:19:57,640 --> 02:20:01,800
Speaker 3: How you can be told to stop doing something or

2989
02:20:01,840 --> 02:20:05,280
Speaker 3: you're going to lose your high paying, high profile gig

2990
02:20:05,320 --> 02:20:06,440
Speaker 3: and you keep doing it.

2991
02:20:07,040 --> 02:20:09,920
Speaker 1: Right like that, he just tells you how untouchable, he felt,

2992
02:20:10,280 --> 02:20:11,720
Speaker 1: and by the way, there was even no way to

2993
02:20:11,720 --> 02:20:12,080
Speaker 1: put it.

2994
02:20:12,200 --> 02:20:14,199
Speaker 2: A level of defiance to a degree.

2995
02:20:14,240 --> 02:20:17,600
Speaker 1: In the statement that he released, saying like I brought

2996
02:20:17,680 --> 02:20:20,640
Speaker 1: USC back to prominence, and the coaches that I've hired

2997
02:20:20,680 --> 02:20:23,200
Speaker 1: in our graduation rates are the highest they've been. He

2998
02:20:23,280 --> 02:20:26,959
Speaker 1: basically just ran down his very short resume in the

2999
02:20:27,000 --> 02:20:28,959
Speaker 1: tenure that he's had at USC and all the great

3000
02:20:28,959 --> 02:20:29,960
Speaker 1: things that he's done.

3001
02:20:30,200 --> 02:20:30,879
Speaker 2: He's saying he's.

3002
02:20:30,840 --> 02:20:32,760
Speaker 1: Leaving the department better in better hands than it was.

3003
02:20:32,800 --> 02:20:35,800
Speaker 1: But when he got in, you know that that's very interesting,

3004
02:20:35,840 --> 02:20:38,000
Speaker 1: and light of all the new information that's come out,

3005
02:20:38,200 --> 02:20:40,240
Speaker 1: it's almost as if like you can talk crap about

3006
02:20:40,240 --> 02:20:41,600
Speaker 1: me on my way out the door if you want,

3007
02:20:41,920 --> 02:20:43,600
Speaker 1: But look at all the good things that I did

3008
02:20:43,600 --> 02:20:47,640
Speaker 1: for this program that was terrible before I came. You know,

3009
02:20:47,640 --> 02:20:49,560
Speaker 1: if they sales are the worst in history, the worst

3010
02:20:49,560 --> 02:20:52,280
Speaker 1: the program has ever been. Something to that effect is

3011
02:20:52,320 --> 02:20:53,240
Speaker 1: what he said in his statement.

3012
02:20:53,280 --> 02:20:56,520
Speaker 3: Before he arrived, I was trying to go year by

3013
02:20:56,760 --> 02:21:03,800
Speaker 3: year on the usc AD and unfortunate Lee unfortunately, Lookipedia

3014
02:21:03,920 --> 02:21:04,520
Speaker 3: not helping me out.

3015
02:21:04,640 --> 02:21:07,120
Speaker 1: I can give you a brief timeline. I mean, you

3016
02:21:07,120 --> 02:21:09,400
Speaker 1: had the Mike Garrett years, which was not good. Yeah,

3017
02:21:09,680 --> 02:21:12,840
Speaker 1: I mean, well there, look, he hired Pete Carroll. I apologize,

3018
02:21:12,879 --> 02:21:14,600
Speaker 1: he r Pete Carroll. But then they got caught up

3019
02:21:14,640 --> 02:21:17,160
Speaker 1: in the Reggie Bush scandal. He was defiant about that.

3020
02:21:17,600 --> 02:21:20,160
Speaker 1: In the midst of that was the Tim Floyd scandal

3021
02:21:20,200 --> 02:21:22,520
Speaker 1: as well with the basketball program, so they were on

3022
02:21:22,560 --> 02:21:25,280
Speaker 1: probation for a while. So then he gets the boot.

3023
02:21:25,400 --> 02:21:28,320
Speaker 1: They bring in Pat Hayden. Pat Hayden was a disaster.

3024
02:21:28,600 --> 02:21:31,200
Speaker 1: They bring in Lynn Swan, who was an even bigger disaster.

3025
02:21:31,920 --> 02:21:34,200
Speaker 1: Then they come out of that to Mike Bone. They

3026
02:21:34,240 --> 02:21:36,400
Speaker 1: finally go outside of the families for the first time

3027
02:21:36,400 --> 02:21:39,400
Speaker 1: in fifty years whatever it's been, someone who had no

3028
02:21:39,440 --> 02:21:41,959
Speaker 1: connections to the program, and it got off to a

3029
02:21:41,959 --> 02:21:44,280
Speaker 1: good enough start with Mike Bone. Maybe they kept Clay

3030
02:21:44,320 --> 02:21:46,640
Speaker 1: heldon a little bit longer than they want it. Many

3031
02:21:46,640 --> 02:21:48,800
Speaker 1: people believe that that was a Carroll fault decision more

3032
02:21:48,840 --> 02:21:51,400
Speaker 1: than a Mike Bone decision. But eventually they got him out.

3033
02:21:51,400 --> 02:21:54,000
Speaker 1: They went and got Lincoln Riley and everybody was happy,

3034
02:21:54,360 --> 02:21:57,760
Speaker 1: but apparently things were not, you know, Rosie behind closed doors,

3035
02:21:57,760 --> 02:21:59,480
Speaker 1: and it got to a head at a certain point

3036
02:21:59,520 --> 02:22:02,160
Speaker 1: where they just do it anymore with Mike Bone it is.

3037
02:22:02,680 --> 02:22:05,360
Speaker 3: It is gonna be interesting to see what direction us

3038
02:22:05,440 --> 02:22:08,240
Speaker 3: he goes. This is a massive story, it is. I mean,

3039
02:22:08,400 --> 02:22:11,720
Speaker 3: I am, like I said, I'm shifting from Fox Sports

3040
02:22:11,800 --> 02:22:13,880
Speaker 3: Radio to some college talk whenever I'm done with this

3041
02:22:13,959 --> 02:22:16,800
Speaker 3: show today. And I would imagine that it's going to

3042
02:22:16,879 --> 02:22:21,039
Speaker 3: be the foundation of a college based program today. This

3043
02:22:21,160 --> 02:22:24,959
Speaker 3: is one of the marquee brands in college athletics period.

3044
02:22:25,320 --> 02:22:31,240
Speaker 3: This is arguably the team that has the best player

3045
02:22:31,280 --> 02:22:34,480
Speaker 3: in college football in Caleb Williams. I know that pains

3046
02:22:34,480 --> 02:22:37,039
Speaker 3: me to say, too ou fans, but in Caleb Williams

3047
02:22:37,120 --> 02:22:40,400
Speaker 3: coming back next year and a team that you know

3048
02:22:40,520 --> 02:22:44,880
Speaker 3: has playoff aspirations, defending Heisman Trophy winner, and oh, by

3049
02:22:44,920 --> 02:22:46,840
Speaker 3: the way, is on their way to the Big ten.

3050
02:22:47,200 --> 02:22:49,640
Speaker 1: Right, that's the big thing. You're transitioning into a new

3051
02:22:49,680 --> 02:22:52,480
Speaker 1: conference in a year, and now you have this hanging

3052
02:22:52,520 --> 02:22:55,400
Speaker 1: over your head. And look, you're finding a new athletic director.

3053
02:22:55,440 --> 02:22:56,800
Speaker 1: This is something you just talked to her friend of

3054
02:22:56,840 --> 02:22:58,680
Speaker 1: yours you're bringing you hire him next Friday.

3055
02:22:58,959 --> 02:23:01,080
Speaker 2: This is going to take months to figure out.

3056
02:23:01,640 --> 02:23:04,439
Speaker 3: Here's the other part of the two that I'm fascinated by.

3057
02:23:04,480 --> 02:23:11,119
Speaker 3: We've seen in athletic well Conference commissioner decisions. We've seen

3058
02:23:11,560 --> 02:23:15,360
Speaker 3: the Big twelve, the PAC twelve, and the Big Ten

3059
02:23:16,160 --> 02:23:21,680
Speaker 3: go away from administrative lifers. In other words, the guys

3060
02:23:21,720 --> 02:23:25,279
Speaker 3: and gals they've hired have not come from the college

3061
02:23:25,320 --> 02:23:28,680
Speaker 3: sports world. They've come from the entertainment world. They've come

3062
02:23:28,720 --> 02:23:31,240
Speaker 3: from the I say, gambling world. That's a little bit

3063
02:23:31,280 --> 02:23:33,320
Speaker 3: unfair for George Clive kaff right, because he to work

3064
02:23:33,320 --> 02:23:36,240
Speaker 3: in MGM. Yeah, but it's gonna be interesting to see

3065
02:23:36,240 --> 02:23:39,560
Speaker 3: if maybe us he looks at it and says, all right,

3066
02:23:39,600 --> 02:23:42,280
Speaker 3: and you know, usually the next guy up would be

3067
02:23:42,360 --> 02:23:45,480
Speaker 3: someone that's an associate athletic director or maybe a well

3068
02:23:45,520 --> 02:23:50,080
Speaker 3: known sitting eighty somewhere else. But Kevin, I'll be interested

3069
02:23:50,120 --> 02:23:52,160
Speaker 3: to see if they go in a completely different.

3070
02:23:51,840 --> 02:23:54,160
Speaker 1: Direction with this. Yeah, so they had so his right

3071
02:23:54,160 --> 02:23:56,520
Speaker 1: hand man the first couple of years he was here

3072
02:23:56,680 --> 02:23:59,960
Speaker 1: heaping Mike Bone was someone named Brandon Sasna and he's

3073
02:24:00,080 --> 02:24:03,120
Speaker 1: the one who was credited with really pushing hard and

3074
02:24:03,560 --> 02:24:05,400
Speaker 1: locking in Lincoln Riley right now.

3075
02:24:05,440 --> 02:24:08,080
Speaker 2: He has since left and taken a job in the NFL.

3076
02:24:08,120 --> 02:24:10,920
Speaker 1: I think with the Detroit Lions, maybe that's something they

3077
02:24:10,959 --> 02:24:13,160
Speaker 1: can circle back to if they like him enough, or look,

3078
02:24:13,200 --> 02:24:16,640
Speaker 1: maybe he's linked to Mike Bone and some issues within

3079
02:24:16,680 --> 02:24:18,400
Speaker 1: the program, and maybe that's part of the reason why

3080
02:24:18,480 --> 02:24:21,640
Speaker 1: Sasna left. No one knows, uh, I know Carol fulton

3081
02:24:21,720 --> 02:24:23,160
Speaker 1: Er statement says she was they were going to look

3082
02:24:23,200 --> 02:24:26,400
Speaker 1: internally and externally. From what I know, there really isn't

3083
02:24:26,400 --> 02:24:29,560
Speaker 1: anybody internally who's even close to qualified for that position.

3084
02:24:29,959 --> 02:24:33,360
Speaker 1: So it's going to have to be somebody from the outside. Yeah,

3085
02:24:33,360 --> 02:24:35,280
Speaker 1: who that is, What kind of experience they would have,

3086
02:24:35,320 --> 02:24:38,080
Speaker 1: what background they'd come from. I really don't know.

3087
02:24:39,440 --> 02:24:43,160
Speaker 3: Life every time Sometimes for me, I just say every time.

3088
02:24:43,200 --> 02:24:46,760
Speaker 3: Sometimes every time something is going good for me, I

3089
02:24:46,840 --> 02:24:48,879
Speaker 3: keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's like

3090
02:24:48,920 --> 02:24:51,119
Speaker 3: this is just there's this is too good. Too many

3091
02:24:51,120 --> 02:24:53,600
Speaker 3: good things are going on. Something bad's got to happen, right,

3092
02:24:53,800 --> 02:24:56,200
Speaker 3: and you know, inevitably for most of us it doesn't.

3093
02:24:56,320 --> 02:24:59,200
Speaker 3: You just that's that's kind of our nature. For usc

3094
02:25:00,040 --> 02:25:04,800
Speaker 3: Holy smokes man, the hell this is? This sucks. And

3095
02:25:04,879 --> 02:25:06,920
Speaker 3: one I don't know we're behind guys. But one quick

3096
02:25:06,920 --> 02:25:08,879
Speaker 3: thing I wanted to add before he put a rap

3097
02:25:08,879 --> 02:25:12,400
Speaker 3: on this thought. It fascinating when Mike Bone left Cincinnati

3098
02:25:12,520 --> 02:25:14,560
Speaker 3: and Luke Fickle was there. Now, I know Luke Fickle

3099
02:25:15,240 --> 02:25:19,080
Speaker 3: left this offseason to go to Wisconsin. But when Luke Fickle,

3100
02:25:19,360 --> 02:25:22,680
Speaker 3: or when Mike Bone left Cincinnati to go to USC

3101
02:25:23,160 --> 02:25:26,000
Speaker 3: a lot of people thought, oh, well, that might be

3102
02:25:26,080 --> 02:25:30,440
Speaker 3: it for Luke Fickle. Because Luke Fickle familiar, highly sought

3103
02:25:30,480 --> 02:25:33,600
Speaker 3: after head coach, a lot of people were interested, and

3104
02:25:33,640 --> 02:25:37,080
Speaker 3: eventually he took the Wisconsin job, but he stayed, you know,

3105
02:25:37,200 --> 02:25:41,680
Speaker 3: two full seasons, three full seasons after Mike Bone left.

3106
02:25:41,760 --> 02:25:43,920
Speaker 3: And I always kind of thought when Mike Bone left

3107
02:25:43,920 --> 02:25:46,039
Speaker 3: that that meant that Luke Fickle was probably on his

3108
02:25:46,120 --> 02:25:48,800
Speaker 3: way out. And it's always kind of resonated with me

3109
02:25:48,879 --> 02:25:51,360
Speaker 3: whenever people that I knew that covered Cincinnati and knew

3110
02:25:51,440 --> 02:25:54,560
Speaker 3: Luke Fickle said, Nah, don't really know if he's shedding

3111
02:25:54,560 --> 02:25:57,240
Speaker 3: too many tears over that. Don't really know if that's

3112
02:25:57,240 --> 02:25:58,920
Speaker 3: something that he's too upset about.

3113
02:25:59,080 --> 02:26:01,959
Speaker 2: So it's interesting. I had not heard that, So that's interesting.

3114
02:26:02,040 --> 02:26:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was a guy that would know.

3115
02:26:05,280 --> 02:26:07,920
Speaker 3: This was one of my buddies that that covers Ohio

3116
02:26:08,000 --> 02:26:10,760
Speaker 3: state and is around that quite a bit. So we'll

3117
02:26:10,800 --> 02:26:13,959
Speaker 3: see what's next for Mike Bone, but more importantly, what's

3118
02:26:14,000 --> 02:26:16,920
Speaker 3: next for USC and how much damage has been done.

3119
02:26:17,000 --> 02:26:19,000
Speaker 2: They're on the look for a new athletic director.

3120
02:26:19,040 --> 02:26:21,480
Speaker 3: All right, when we come back, your tweets have been great,

Speaker 2: Great job Mark, great job Ethan.

3152
02:27:45,000 --> 02:27:46,840
Speaker 1: Did you see there was actually an article written this

3153
02:27:46,920 --> 02:27:48,040
Speaker 1: week about the studios?

3154
02:27:48,120 --> 02:27:50,279
Speaker 2: I did not was that. BSM then had that there.

3155
02:27:50,280 --> 02:27:53,280
Speaker 3: Sportsman a little my buddy Tyler McCombs y, I missed that.

3156
02:27:53,320 --> 02:27:55,360
Speaker 3: I have to check that out, I said. As soon

3157
02:27:55,400 --> 02:27:58,680
Speaker 3: as I came into the studios to do the Super

3158
02:27:58,680 --> 02:28:02,720
Speaker 3: Bowl show back in February, they quickly realized they had

3159
02:28:02,760 --> 02:28:04,039
Speaker 3: to just destroy that studio.

3160
02:28:04,440 --> 02:28:07,640
Speaker 1: I'd done too much damage. So oh, it wasn't just you.

3161
02:28:08,480 --> 02:28:11,039
Speaker 1: Some would say that that studio had a lot of

3162
02:28:11,080 --> 02:28:12,959
Speaker 1: wear and tear for a lot of years before you

3163
02:28:12,959 --> 02:28:13,720
Speaker 1: said foot into it.

3164
02:28:13,720 --> 02:28:14,440
Speaker 2: I'll put it that way.

3165
02:28:14,520 --> 02:28:17,959
Speaker 3: Many many moons ago, many moons ago, in one of

3166
02:28:18,000 --> 02:28:21,039
Speaker 3: the many kind of different layers of Fox Sports Radio,

3167
02:28:21,480 --> 02:28:24,560
Speaker 3: I used to do the weekend overnight show, Bernie Fratto's

3168
02:28:24,720 --> 02:28:28,720
Speaker 3: shift and Ben did it for a while no was on,

3169
02:28:28,920 --> 02:28:33,920
Speaker 3: but I used to do overnights. And one holiday weekend

3170
02:28:34,080 --> 02:28:37,480
Speaker 3: we were invited. My girlfriend at the time and I

3171
02:28:37,560 --> 02:28:38,320
Speaker 3: were invited.

3172
02:28:38,440 --> 02:28:39,240
Speaker 2: She's my wife.

3173
02:28:39,280 --> 02:28:42,280
Speaker 3: Now this was actually it's our anniversary, so it was

3174
02:28:42,320 --> 02:28:45,680
Speaker 3: sixteen years ago, KFEO. We were invited and we did

3175
02:28:45,680 --> 02:28:48,680
Speaker 3: a show from that studio and my wife fell asleep

3176
02:28:48,720 --> 02:28:50,920
Speaker 3: in the corner of the studio, like literally just laid

3177
02:28:50,959 --> 02:28:52,720
Speaker 3: on the floor and fell asleep. And I don't know

3178
02:28:52,760 --> 02:28:56,640
Speaker 3: if she's truly recovered from what could have possibly been

3179
02:28:56,680 --> 02:29:00,720
Speaker 3: tracked on, you know, and the floor. So congratulations to

3180
02:29:00,800 --> 02:29:04,000
Speaker 3: all the La based crew at Fox Sports Radio for

3181
02:29:04,000 --> 02:29:04,520
Speaker 3: the new studio.

3182
02:29:04,560 --> 02:29:06,119
Speaker 2: Are you like the new digs? I'm loving it.

3183
02:29:06,160 --> 02:29:10,160
Speaker 1: Finally, finally some new equipment bringing us into the twenty

3184
02:29:10,160 --> 02:29:10,800
Speaker 1: first century.

3185
02:29:10,840 --> 02:29:13,640
Speaker 2: I'll take it. I'm curious Ethan, how much chance Ethan

3186
02:29:13,680 --> 02:29:14,120
Speaker 2: and studio?

3187
02:29:14,240 --> 02:29:16,160
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to Ethan al I'm right here, Okay,

3188
02:29:16,800 --> 02:29:19,080
Speaker 1: how much does it change things for you?

3189
02:29:19,080 --> 02:29:21,359
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's a beautiful setting.

3190
02:29:21,440 --> 02:29:25,200
Speaker 8: I get to see Kfig get marked to my left,

3191
02:29:25,600 --> 02:29:26,320
Speaker 8: no issue.

3192
02:29:26,720 --> 02:29:28,680
Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, we have a we can actually all see

3193
02:29:28,680 --> 02:29:31,279
Speaker 1: each other. So it's a it's a what a revelation.

3194
02:29:31,800 --> 02:29:34,800
Speaker 3: Maybe we should add that that's the weird thing about

3195
02:29:34,800 --> 02:29:39,400
Speaker 3: our setup at the tirerack dot com studio previously, because

3196
02:29:40,480 --> 02:29:44,360
Speaker 3: there was some sort of almost barrier where if say

3197
02:29:44,440 --> 02:29:46,160
Speaker 3: Mark or Ethan would want to talk to you, they

3198
02:29:46,160 --> 02:29:49,080
Speaker 3: would have to like stand up, got hey, you're good,

3199
02:29:49,520 --> 02:29:52,000
Speaker 3: and then you couldn't see the person that was hosting.

3200
02:29:52,480 --> 02:29:54,320
Speaker 2: They would have to walk round the corner. It's like, hey,

3201
02:29:54,360 --> 02:29:54,880
Speaker 2: are you good?

3202
02:29:55,000 --> 02:29:55,560
Speaker 1: Kfig?

3203
02:29:55,800 --> 02:29:57,760
Speaker 2: But now everyone can see everyone, so it's good.

3204
02:29:57,879 --> 02:30:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, hosts couldn't see the anchor. Now I can right

3205
02:30:00,280 --> 02:30:02,520
Speaker 1: into the studio and look peer right into the eyes.

3206
02:30:03,160 --> 02:30:05,200
Speaker 2: Love love it. Let's say a couple of tweets here

3207
02:30:05,240 --> 02:30:05,720
Speaker 2: real quick.

3208
02:30:05,920 --> 02:30:09,000
Speaker 3: My man Calbert at that damn bear on Twitter rights

3209
02:30:09,360 --> 02:30:13,840
Speaker 3: talking about sports teams and relocation with Oakland we're about

3210
02:30:13,879 --> 02:30:17,360
Speaker 3: to experience it in Phoenix with the Arizona Coyotes. Poor

3211
02:30:17,440 --> 02:30:20,880
Speaker 3: management and bad teams made its turn away. Youth hockey

3212
02:30:20,879 --> 02:30:24,200
Speaker 3: has grown over the years, but I just wish the

3213
02:30:24,320 --> 02:30:25,520
Speaker 3: Yoats had a.

3214
02:30:25,440 --> 02:30:26,760
Speaker 2: Better run organization.

3215
02:30:28,400 --> 02:30:28,560
Speaker 4: Now.

3216
02:30:28,600 --> 02:30:29,480
Speaker 2: I can't attest to that.

3217
02:30:29,800 --> 02:30:32,040
Speaker 3: I can't attest to that on the ground level because

3218
02:30:32,040 --> 02:30:35,640
Speaker 3: I'm not in Phoenix, but Calbert as a standings viewer,

3219
02:30:35,680 --> 02:30:38,120
Speaker 3: and it's just feeling like Phoenix has always been in

3220
02:30:38,160 --> 02:30:41,080
Speaker 3: flux ownership wise. You hate to see that for a

3221
02:30:41,120 --> 02:30:43,800
Speaker 3: passionate fan like Calbert and those who follow it day

3222
02:30:43,800 --> 02:30:44,400
Speaker 3: in and day out.

3223
02:30:44,640 --> 02:30:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, look, there's a sect of people

3224
02:30:46,879 --> 02:30:48,879
Speaker 1: say like, oh, hockey never took in Arizona.

3225
02:30:48,959 --> 02:30:50,879
Speaker 2: We didn't want them here anyway, But look, it was.

3226
02:30:50,879 --> 02:30:53,560
Speaker 1: A very passionate fan base, especially sure if and when

3227
02:30:53,560 --> 02:30:55,760
Speaker 1: they do well. But yeah, the ownership has been not

3228
02:30:55,800 --> 02:30:57,760
Speaker 1: been great, not being able to make a rent in

3229
02:30:57,800 --> 02:31:00,640
Speaker 1: their arena. It's just been a giant issue and it's

3230
02:31:00,720 --> 02:31:03,320
Speaker 1: unfortunate for the people that are fans. And if youth

3231
02:31:03,360 --> 02:31:06,040
Speaker 1: participation in hockey has been up over the last decade

3232
02:31:06,120 --> 02:31:08,520
Speaker 1: or so, then that's just gonna be really disappointing for

3233
02:31:08,560 --> 02:31:11,360
Speaker 1: a lot of kids who I'm sure their fervor for

3234
02:31:11,440 --> 02:31:13,960
Speaker 1: the sport was spurned on by the fact that they

3235
02:31:13,959 --> 02:31:16,680
Speaker 1: were able to see a professional franchise, and now that's

3236
02:31:16,720 --> 02:31:17,720
Speaker 1: no longer going to be the case.

3237
02:31:17,720 --> 02:31:18,680
Speaker 2: So that is unfortunate.

3238
02:31:19,000 --> 02:31:22,240
Speaker 3: And the Digital Space Monkey has checked in. Oh right

3239
02:31:22,320 --> 02:31:23,920
Speaker 3: here from the Digital Space Monkey, let's go.

3240
02:31:24,120 --> 02:31:24,480
Speaker 2: Let's go.

3241
02:31:25,080 --> 02:31:29,280
Speaker 3: Draymond does love him some, Draymond, but you're comparing that

3242
02:31:29,440 --> 02:31:34,280
Speaker 3: to Lebron's insatiable love for himself. Are you listening to yourself?

3243
02:31:34,760 --> 02:31:37,840
Speaker 3: The reason I'd criticize his flopping is that he said

3244
02:31:37,879 --> 02:31:40,160
Speaker 3: going into Game three on the Lakers radio that.

3245
02:31:40,360 --> 02:31:42,520
Speaker 2: We don't flop. Shut your mic off.

3246
02:31:43,720 --> 02:31:47,120
Speaker 3: I mean, everybody loves them, some them, I think in

3247
02:31:47,160 --> 02:31:52,520
Speaker 3: the world of the NBA. But hey, I think Draymond

3248
02:31:52,600 --> 02:31:57,360
Speaker 3: Green is infinitely more irritating than Lebron James's. But then again,

3249
02:31:57,440 --> 02:32:00,600
Speaker 3: there's some people that if Lebron James breathes wrong, it's like,

3250
02:32:00,600 --> 02:32:01,680
Speaker 3: what are you doing, dude?

3251
02:32:01,760 --> 02:32:04,280
Speaker 1: Stop it? And and that's the case for everybody. I think.

3252
02:32:04,360 --> 02:32:06,720
Speaker 1: I feel like if Draymond Green didn't like hearing himself talk,

3253
02:32:06,760 --> 02:32:09,480
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have a podcast on Calhurt's podcast, right, So

3254
02:32:09,520 --> 02:32:12,080
Speaker 1: that's right. Here it was my point.

3255
02:32:12,280 --> 02:32:16,360
Speaker 3: My point is I feel like we're more likely to

3256
02:32:16,520 --> 02:32:20,480
Speaker 3: be forgiving of Draymond because he is out there, he

3257
02:32:20,600 --> 02:32:23,160
Speaker 3: is in the open. He does do a podcast, he

3258
02:32:23,200 --> 02:32:26,960
Speaker 3: opens himself up. Meanwhile, with Lebron James, every time he

3259
02:32:27,680 --> 02:32:30,320
Speaker 3: appears to open himself up where he does talk more

3260
02:32:30,320 --> 02:32:33,480
Speaker 3: like oh well that's fake. Yeah, it's just it's really

3261
02:32:33,480 --> 02:32:35,160
Speaker 3: almost as if he cannot win with that people.

3262
02:32:35,240 --> 02:32:37,879
Speaker 1: That's a phenomenal point because with Draymond, I think people

3263
02:32:37,920 --> 02:32:40,120
Speaker 1: would praise him for saying, oh, he keeps it real

3264
02:32:40,200 --> 02:32:41,800
Speaker 1: and he says, well, he says you know what's ever

3265
02:32:41,920 --> 02:32:44,440
Speaker 1: on his mind. He speaks from the heart, and the

3266
02:32:44,480 --> 02:32:47,720
Speaker 1: thought is, no matter what Lebron says or does, it's

3267
02:32:47,720 --> 02:32:51,640
Speaker 1: calculated and there's some hidden meaning behind whatever he says.

3268
02:32:51,640 --> 02:32:54,200
Speaker 1: And he has his team of guys behind him just

3269
02:32:54,240 --> 02:32:56,240
Speaker 1: so we can say something that's either you know, tweak

3270
02:32:56,280 --> 02:32:58,120
Speaker 1: the referees or get some sort of message out in

3271
02:32:58,120 --> 02:33:01,480
Speaker 1: the media. So I do think Ron James, rightly or wrongly,

3272
02:33:01,959 --> 02:33:04,119
Speaker 1: that that's kind of a stigma that he's carried over

3273
02:33:04,160 --> 02:33:05,920
Speaker 1: the last you know, ten twelve years or so.

3274
02:33:06,160 --> 02:33:07,800
Speaker 3: All right, when we come back, we'll give you some

3275
02:33:07,840 --> 02:33:10,560
Speaker 3: final thoughts on whether or not the Celtics are done

3276
02:33:10,600 --> 02:33:13,240
Speaker 3: and can the Lakers bounce back? As we put a

3277
02:33:13,320 --> 02:33:16,080
Speaker 3: rap on this episode of the Anthony Gargano show The

3278
02:33:16,120 --> 02:33:17,480
Speaker 3: Fellas on Fox Sports Radio.

3279
02:33:18,560 --> 02:33:22,600
Speaker 2: All right, it's the Fellas. I haven't even called it

3280
02:33:22,640 --> 02:33:23,600
Speaker 2: this show The Fellas.

3281
02:33:23,640 --> 02:33:28,320
Speaker 3: This morning, I feel I feel unworthy whenever Anthony Gargano

3282
02:33:28,440 --> 02:33:31,520
Speaker 3: is out with Kevin Figures. I'm Chris Plank. It is

3283
02:33:31,920 --> 02:33:34,600
Speaker 3: coming to you live from the tire rack dot Com studios,

3284
02:33:34,640 --> 02:33:37,199
Speaker 3: and we always put a rap with some excitement because

3285
02:33:37,240 --> 02:33:40,200
Speaker 3: it is time for the progressive play of the day.

3286
02:33:40,440 --> 02:33:44,240
Speaker 3: Here it is from last night's Western Conference Finals Game one,

3287
02:33:44,680 --> 02:33:45,400
Speaker 3: Back and again to.

3288
02:33:45,400 --> 02:33:46,840
Speaker 1: The Cornery centered stone.

3289
02:33:47,040 --> 02:33:50,000
Speaker 19: Shint to the lights side by Howden clebound side.

3290
02:33:49,760 --> 02:33:51,560
Speaker 17: Of the goal they have stored.

3291
02:33:51,959 --> 02:33:53,480
Speaker 1: How is it can get home?

3292
02:33:53,840 --> 02:33:54,280
Speaker 4: Vegas?

3302
02:34:27,080 --> 02:34:29,520
Speaker 3: How about this from that game winning goal from Brett

3303
02:34:29,520 --> 02:34:33,840
Speaker 3: Howden last night. It's the first overtime goal of his career,

3304
02:34:34,240 --> 02:34:35,840
Speaker 3: regular season or playoffs.

3305
02:34:35,879 --> 02:34:36,160
Speaker 2: Wow.

3306
02:34:36,520 --> 02:34:39,199
Speaker 3: He hasn't had Kevin a game winning goal in sixty

3307
02:34:39,280 --> 02:34:43,320
Speaker 3: five games played this season, including the playoffs, and he

3308
02:34:43,400 --> 02:34:45,680
Speaker 3: had not scored in the first two minutes of any

3309
02:34:45,760 --> 02:34:49,959
Speaker 3: period since December of twenty nineteen. Thanks to ESPN Stats

3310
02:34:49,959 --> 02:34:52,560
Speaker 3: and Info for that. That's gonna be a fun series.

3311
02:34:52,760 --> 02:34:55,880
Speaker 3: I think, what great energy for all four of these

3312
02:34:55,920 --> 02:34:58,080
Speaker 3: fan bases. I know that you know, we're not going

3313
02:34:58,160 --> 02:35:01,000
Speaker 3: to probably have an in depth hockey break down whenever

3314
02:35:01,040 --> 02:35:03,320
Speaker 3: I'm on the air unless it involves the Blues or

3315
02:35:03,320 --> 02:35:03,840
Speaker 3: the Kings.

3316
02:35:04,280 --> 02:35:06,880
Speaker 2: But at least from this perspective, they got me hooked. Kevin.

3317
02:35:06,920 --> 02:35:09,039
Speaker 2: I'm in I'm watching some exciting teams.

3318
02:35:09,080 --> 02:35:11,440
Speaker 1: Like I said, they're not necessarily hockey blue bloods, but

3319
02:35:11,480 --> 02:35:14,240
Speaker 1: we certainly have had some exciting game one so far

3320
02:35:14,280 --> 02:35:17,120
Speaker 1: in this series. So I'm looking forward to tonight. As

3321
02:35:17,160 --> 02:35:19,160
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, going back, going back East, so

3322
02:35:19,200 --> 02:35:19,920
Speaker 1: it should be fun.

3323
02:35:20,360 --> 02:35:25,200
Speaker 3: Speaking of looking forward to tonight, seven thirty Central, eight

3324
02:35:25,280 --> 02:35:27,680
Speaker 3: thirty Eastern in I'm not good at math, but I

3325
02:35:27,680 --> 02:35:29,400
Speaker 3: believe that's five thirty Pacific time.

3326
02:35:29,480 --> 02:35:30,160
Speaker 2: You're on the nose.

3327
02:35:30,560 --> 02:35:34,800
Speaker 3: Lakers Game three against the Nuggets. Now, one other ESPN

3328
02:35:34,800 --> 02:35:37,240
Speaker 3: stats and Info note, it's a twenty seven time the

3329
02:35:37,240 --> 02:35:40,080
Speaker 3: Celtics and Lakers have each made the conference or division

3330
02:35:40,120 --> 02:35:44,520
Speaker 3: finals in the same season. It's just the second time

3331
02:35:45,320 --> 02:35:49,480
Speaker 3: that both teams have trailed two to oh in a series.

3332
02:35:50,160 --> 02:35:55,000
Speaker 3: The first time was nineteen fifty four fifty five, when

3333
02:35:55,000 --> 02:35:58,400
Speaker 3: the Celtics ended up losing to the Syracuse Nationals and

3334
02:35:58,480 --> 02:36:02,279
Speaker 3: the Minneapolis Lakers at the time lost to the Fort

3335
02:36:02,440 --> 02:36:07,240
Speaker 3: Wayne Pistons. K fig What needs to happen tonight to

3336
02:36:07,400 --> 02:36:10,560
Speaker 3: ensure that the Lakers don't fall down three zip and

3337
02:36:10,640 --> 02:36:11,599
Speaker 3: in this series.

3338
02:36:11,280 --> 02:36:14,000
Speaker 1: Well, I think George Miken needs to really dominate inside

3339
02:36:14,040 --> 02:36:16,240
Speaker 1: the post and Vern Micholson needs to get his mirror.

3340
02:36:18,200 --> 02:36:21,200
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Davis and Lebron James, those are the

3341
02:36:21,240 --> 02:36:24,640
Speaker 1: two heads of the Snakes. Obviously, they played poorly, to

3342
02:36:24,680 --> 02:36:27,960
Speaker 1: say the least offensively in Game two, and still dominated

3343
02:36:28,000 --> 02:36:30,080
Speaker 1: the majority of that game. The first three quarters. The

3344
02:36:30,240 --> 02:36:32,840
Speaker 1: Lakers pretty much maintained a double digit lead until Jamal

3345
02:36:32,920 --> 02:36:34,960
Speaker 1: Murray went off in the fourth quarter. So I think

3346
02:36:35,000 --> 02:36:38,120
Speaker 1: coming back home, you'll get a better effort from your

3347
02:36:38,200 --> 02:36:41,200
Speaker 1: role players, guys like D'Angelo Ross, so Ruya Chimurro has

3348
02:36:41,200 --> 02:36:44,280
Speaker 1: already been playing well, and so as Austin Reeves. You

3349
02:36:44,360 --> 02:36:46,720
Speaker 1: just need Lebron James and or Anthony Davis. You don't

3350
02:36:46,720 --> 02:36:48,440
Speaker 1: even need both of them, You just need one to

3351
02:36:48,480 --> 02:36:50,280
Speaker 1: play at an extremely high level. And I think they

3352
02:36:50,320 --> 02:36:52,200
Speaker 1: get a win. I think they get a win tonight.

3353
02:36:52,240 --> 02:36:54,480
Speaker 1: Either way, coming back home. They haven't lost at home

3354
02:36:54,480 --> 02:36:57,720
Speaker 1: in the postseason. They know it's essentially a must win game.

3355
02:36:58,000 --> 02:36:59,800
Speaker 1: So if they're gonna win one, it's gonna be this

3356
02:36:59,840 --> 02:37:00,360
Speaker 1: one tonight.

3357
02:37:00,600 --> 02:37:03,560
Speaker 2: Do you know what we haven't had yet in this series?

3358
02:37:03,680 --> 02:37:07,440
Speaker 3: That kind of feels like it's almost a necessity in

3359
02:37:07,520 --> 02:37:11,360
Speaker 3: any Lakers series that takes place anymore. We haven't had

3360
02:37:11,400 --> 02:37:16,920
Speaker 3: too much outward complaining about the foul discrepancy. Remember whenever

3361
02:37:17,000 --> 02:37:19,720
Speaker 3: people forgot that the Golden State Warriors were a team

3362
02:37:19,800 --> 02:37:22,800
Speaker 3: that didn't really attack like the Lakers did, and the

3363
02:37:22,879 --> 02:37:25,879
Speaker 3: Lakers were one of the teams that shot the most

3364
02:37:25,920 --> 02:37:28,280
Speaker 3: free throws in all the NBA, and everyone was trying

3365
02:37:28,280 --> 02:37:31,800
Speaker 3: to complain about a free throw discrepancy. Well, it's been

3366
02:37:31,840 --> 02:37:34,560
Speaker 3: pretty tight. Twenty one fouls called a piece on each

3367
02:37:34,600 --> 02:37:39,640
Speaker 3: game in Game one. In Game two, the Lakers had

3368
02:37:39,680 --> 02:37:42,640
Speaker 3: what nineteen fouls called on them, and there were eighteen

3369
02:37:42,720 --> 02:37:46,680
Speaker 3: called on the Denver Nuggets. The free throws in Game two,

3370
02:37:47,200 --> 02:37:50,360
Speaker 3: eighteen for the Nuggets, twenty six for the Lakers. The

3371
02:37:50,400 --> 02:37:53,440
Speaker 3: free throws in Game one for the Lakers, twenty two

3372
02:37:54,520 --> 02:37:57,320
Speaker 3: for the Nuggets, twenty six. So it's really been even,

3373
02:37:57,840 --> 02:38:01,280
Speaker 3: really been but kfig, aren't we you for people to

3374
02:38:01,320 --> 02:38:03,959
Speaker 3: have a lose their mind? Lebron and the Lakers get

3375
02:38:03,959 --> 02:38:06,119
Speaker 3: a bunch of calls kind of a game here tonight.

3376
02:38:05,879 --> 02:38:08,160
Speaker 1: It'll happen. The Lakers are gonna shoot like thirty three

3377
02:38:08,200 --> 02:38:10,640
Speaker 1: free throws and uh, you know, Differ is gonna shoot,

3378
02:38:10,680 --> 02:38:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, sixteen, and there's gonna be some conspiracy theory

3379
02:38:13,640 --> 02:38:16,600
Speaker 1: about the NBA the Lakers to advance to the next round,

3380
02:38:16,720 --> 02:38:19,520
Speaker 1: or at the very least them not wanted there to

3381
02:38:19,520 --> 02:38:20,920
Speaker 1: be a sweep in the conference finals.

3382
02:38:20,959 --> 02:38:23,120
Speaker 2: That's what it'll be. I want to leave you with this.

3383
02:38:23,120 --> 02:38:24,640
Speaker 2: This was my highlight of the night.

3384
02:38:26,280 --> 02:38:31,600
Speaker 3: After Grant Williams got basically destroyed by Jimmy Butler. Here's

3385
02:38:31,640 --> 02:38:35,360
Speaker 3: what he said about Jimmy Butler and talking trash to him.

3386
02:38:35,400 --> 02:38:37,640
Speaker 14: Pardud, none of that. You expect to beat the best,

3387
02:38:37,680 --> 02:38:38,959
Speaker 14: no matter if I let him over or now. He's

3388
02:38:38,959 --> 02:38:41,040
Speaker 14: gonna do that. And for me, it's a matter of

3389
02:38:41,160 --> 02:38:44,240
Speaker 14: understanding that, yeah, sure you did poke a bear quote unquote,

3390
02:38:44,520 --> 02:38:47,320
Speaker 14: and how are you gonna respond? Because for me, he

3391
02:38:47,360 --> 02:38:49,840
Speaker 14: makes some tough shots in the battle. I'm gonna keep battle.

3392
02:38:49,920 --> 02:38:50,080
Speaker 6: You know.

3393
02:38:50,120 --> 02:38:51,560
Speaker 14: He's gonna have to make every single tough shot the

3394
02:38:51,600 --> 02:38:53,080
Speaker 14: rest of the series. And I'm not gonna turn and

3395
02:38:53,080 --> 02:38:55,720
Speaker 14: look otherwise because I respect him as a mother player.

3396
02:38:55,760 --> 02:38:58,080
Speaker 14: He's a great man, great great person, great human being

3397
02:38:58,120 --> 02:38:59,920
Speaker 14: known for a while. But at the end of the day,

3398
02:39:00,080 --> 02:39:03,440
Speaker 14: this team, we have a real, real decision to make,

3399
02:39:03,800 --> 02:39:05,720
Speaker 14: and that decision is gonna be are we gonna come

3400
02:39:05,760 --> 02:39:07,480
Speaker 14: back and really set the tone on the rest of

3401
02:39:07,520 --> 02:39:09,360
Speaker 14: this year. I'm going to make a statement, or are

3402
02:39:09,360 --> 02:39:10,880
Speaker 14: we gonna come out and lay down? And I don't

3403
02:39:10,879 --> 02:39:12,120
Speaker 14: think this stands built for laying down.

3404
02:39:12,280 --> 02:39:13,320
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you.

3405
02:39:14,080 --> 02:39:16,000
Speaker 3: I know that we've played that a couple of times

3406
