I always say, there is very 91 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: little jobs that would be open to me that I 92 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 2: would leave doing this for right, very little. Like if 93 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: you said to me, you could be the play by 94 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: play voice of the match.

Maybe maybe 397 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 2: us seems like he's been in everything. I mean, why not? 398 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 2: I mean probably sure. She was in the Hood of 399 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 2: Horror back in two thousand and six. Yeah, I didn't 400 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 2: see that. How about Bones, the TV show with David 401 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 2: borianas Okay, Bones, Oh yeah, yeah, there's he's like a 402 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 2: vampire something something. Yeah, okay, all right, yeah, all right, nought. 403 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 2: I would rather watch the sav Show. Emily de Chanelle. Sure, sure, 404 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 2: it was on like eleven years run. Uh. So, big 405 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 2: news out of the NBA. Jason Tatum is coming back. 406 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 2: Not only is he coming back, he's coming back likely 407 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 2: on Friday night at TV Garden when the Celtics welcome 408 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 2: the always difficult Dallas Mavericks. Uh. This is like the 409 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: equivalent of firing a manager, like before you have a 410 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: series against the worst team in Major League Baseball. Hey, 411 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: the Pirates are coming to town. We're gonna make that move. Yeah, 412 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 2: fire the manager. We got the Pirates coming in and 413 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 2: we're missing schemes, so don't have to worry about it. 414 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: We're all good. But it's pretty good to come back, right, 415 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 2: this group of Flags back. You can get a couple 416 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 2: of Marquee guys getting after that. We lost by a 417 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 2: point record with Cooper Flag this year. So Tatum's coming back. 418 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 2: This is this is a seismic move in the NBA 419 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: because I will tell you this, there are five teams 420 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 2: that can win the NBA title. Now there are five 421 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 2: teams that can win. You've reduced it to five. There 422 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 2: are five teams that can win. The Pistons, the Knicks, now, 423 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 2: the Celtics, the Spurs, and the thunder. Those five teams 424 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 2: are the only teams that can win the NBA title. 425 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 2: Boston was never gonna make it through a playoff without 426 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 2: Jason Tatum, but now they have him back, and now 427 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: Boston is a legit title contender. They would know it 428 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: would be too difficult. Now, whether they could beat the 429 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 2: teams of the West, I don't know, but they could 430 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 2: be the It's a marathon for them to get through. 431 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 2: They would they would run up against a Pistons team 432 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: that is rolling four guys off the bench that are 433 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: playing just as well as their starters. They they wouldn't 434 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 2: be deep enough. But now Jason Tatum is back, I'll 435 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 2: put them in a five teams can win and while 436 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 2: then Steward might take one of those guys out. So yeah, 437 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 2: I mean that's the wildcard and look for teams like 438 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: oh what about the Nuggets and the Rockets. Yeah, I 439 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 2: could potentially see one of those teams beating the Spurs 440 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 2: or the Thunder, but you're not getting by both of them. 441 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 2: And those are your one two teams in the West, 442 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 2: so the Nuggets without Aaron, so you'd have to get 443 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 2: by both of them, and you're not doing it right. 444 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: That's two rounds of playoffs. That that's the only reason 445 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 2: why these why you don't think those teams are good. No, 446 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: it's because about getting there. Nobody is getting through both 447 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 2: of those teams. Five teams can win the NBA title 448 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 2: now and it was four up until today. But Tatum 449 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 2: coming back and this is such great news for them 450 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: because mentally this works for everybody the rest of the year. Now, 451 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: we talked about how awkward it is now there's great 452 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: drama coming. But with Tatum coming back, we've mentioned this, 453 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: he's coming back to a different situation. Right, world is 454 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: different than it was thirty seconds ago. World was different 455 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 2: when he got hurt. It was his team. Jalen Brown 456 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 2: was the one. A Hey, we won a title. Yes, 457 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 2: I didn't win NBA MVP, but Jason Tatum's team. Now 458 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 2: what's happened since he's been out. We don't need Jason Tatum. 459 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 2: Look at the success we're having second in the Eastern Conference. 460 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 2: Jalen Brown, I would have him number one on my 461 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 2: ballot for MVP, and his odds changed pretty much every day, 462 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: but I would have him number one. The Celtics have 463 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: been able to have a great regular season. They have 464 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: lost Jason Tatum, not replaced him, and all they've gotten 465 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 2: is more out of Jalen Brown. So now Tatum's coming 466 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: back to a team, and he has always been very 467 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 2: cognizant of his standing, of the respect he has. He's 468 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 2: somebody that here's what is said and written about him 469 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 2: all the time. But coming back in this situation where 470 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 2: coming back from the serious injury, he's gonna have his 471 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 2: minutes maintained, it's going to be, Hey, we're going to 472 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 2: work you back in. And it's an ego thing that works, because, Hey, 473 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: the only reason maybe you're not playing more minutes now 474 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 2: is because we want to make sure you're healthy. And 475 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 2: he's gonna be okay with that, and Jalen Brown will 476 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 2: be okay. It's still my team. Yeah, we got to 477 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 2: work Jason back in because we're better with him, clearly 478 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 2: we are. But it's a mental thing, and it's a 479 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 2: big ego thing for Jason Tate to come back and 480 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 2: not be the guy. It's like, hey, you're coming back, man, 481 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 2: have been gone for a long time. Yeah, uh just 482 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 2: you know, kind of rock and roll fit in somewhere. 483 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 2: We'll get to you. So for the short term, it's 484 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 2: great a short term for the Celtics. They can figure 485 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 2: it out the rest of this year because ego wise, Hey, 486 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 2: Tatum's like, I'm just coming back. I gotta play twenty games. 487 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 2: I'll be ready for the playoffs and then then let's 488 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 2: go right then the playoffs here that it doesn't matter. 489 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 2: The real drama is in the offseason when Tatum's got 490 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: to decide, Okay, is this where want to play the 491 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 2: rest of my career? Where now I'm no longer the 492 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 2: one and I'm the one a maybe the two because 493 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 2: of what the Celtics have shown in my absence not 494 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 2: really needing me and I'm a boost. Do I want 495 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 2: to spend the rest of my career being that guy? 496 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 2: No superstar wants to play on a team where he 497 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 2: goes from I'm the one to now I'm the two. 498 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 2: It's very special. A guy like Dwayne Wade that was 499 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: okay welcoming Lebron in and Lebron commence that thank you, 500 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 2: I'm taking over the heat. Dwayne Wade had a great 501 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 2: and that's why it worked because Dwayne Wade was okay 502 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 2: with that. He was okay with stepping to the side 503 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 2: and letting it become Lebron's team, just like Steph Curry 504 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: was okay kind of stepping aside when Kevin Durant came in. 505 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 2: There's very few athletes that have that kind of ego 506 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 2: that are that comfortable where I can do this, it's 507 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 2: better for the team, and still I know what my 508 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 2: image is going to be and what the optics are. 509 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 2: Jason Tatum's not that kind of guy. So the drama 510 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 2: is gonna be in the off season when he decides, yeah, 511 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: it's been a great run, but I want to be 512 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 2: the one somewhere. I'm not gonna sit here and be 513 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: the one A and have it be built around Jalen Brown. No, 514 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 2: I'm not that guy. That's where the real drama comes from. 515 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 2: For now, it's great. For now, it's awesome. And this, 516 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 2: like I said, so five teams can win the title, 517 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: Celtics and one of them. But in the off season, oh, 518 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 2: that's when the drama gets see you're trying to sow 519 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 2: the seeds of malcontendedness again. Yeah, you guys make it 520 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 2: a total level. How much is it like six hundred 521 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 2: and fifty million between them? I think that's the bigger 522 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 2: question for the celt six roster wise, is what do 523 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 2: you put around him in the in future seasons when 524 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 2: Pritchard and these other guys UH need to get their 525 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 2: deals reworked. But short term it's it works. I don't 526 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 2: know how Jason Tatum, if he's that guy that just 527 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 2: is a get along, or whether he'd go the Yannis 528 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: route and start planting that stuff through the media and 529 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: then be like, I can't be the bad guy. Like 530 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 2: that's that's the question at all. Yeah, Jalen Brown certainly 531 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 2: has shown he'll say whatever to whomever. So if he's 532 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 2: got to be the bad guy in the situation because 533 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: it's untenable, then I would see that coming up and 534 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 2: and potentially being a sticking point. But if Seann the 535 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: can co exists, they won together, and I don't know 536 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 2: if if you're winning, it cures most of the IELs 537 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 2: because nobody's calling it Jalen Brown's team. Jason Tatum's not 538 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 2: back yet, but I mean, but now that Tatum's back, 539 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 2: I tried to call, but that's me. They're not gonna 540 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 2: go in for any controversy in Boston. They're just gonna 541 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: come back and love their players. Oh this is awesome. 542 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 2: Jason tenn is back. Now, Hey, we don't need that 543 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 2: guy anymore, tho Quimby. I mean really, I mean it's good. 544 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 2: It's a thing. Jason Tatum has always been a player 545 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 2: that yeah, I'm great, right right, it's my team right right, 546 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: And now it's not and it's really awkward. And once 547 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 2: he comes back again, this season's a dream because you 548 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 2: can do it for a short period of time. When 549 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 2: someone gets hurt, comes back, loses their job, loses their status. 550 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: I'm working my way back. Whatever's good for the team. 551 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 2: I gotta get back and make sure I'm that player. 552 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 2: But then you get long term, do I really want 553 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 2: to be here? What tell me a star that, Hey, 554 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: I'm here, I'm great, I'm great, I'm great. Yeah. Now, 555 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 2: because you're out, we got somebody else now, and it's 556 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 2: the other guy who's gonna be the number one. Oh okay, 557 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 2: because with Wade and Steph it was bringing somebody in. 558 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 2: This is you watch the guy who was you were 559 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 2: standing next to is your one A then you go away, 560 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 2: come back, and now he has surpassed you. It's like, 561 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 2: how did this happen? I don't have the one. It 562 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 2: was also the go to guy in paffs and finals 563 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 2: to win a finals MVP. So it's not like this 564 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 2: is a new invention. You've watched him ride up and 565 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 2: win as many games or more than you did while 566 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: you were there. Again, not gonna like it, doesn't have 567 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 2: to like it. Everybody deals with their work circumstances as 568 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 2: they need to. Just just wait till the offseason. When 569 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 2: we're talking about Giannis. Oh, maybe you can't get Yannis. 570 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 2: Jason Tatum might be the guy. And if the report 571 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 2: is true that Doc Rivers is stepping aside, maybe he 572 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 2: doesn't have to leave. I don't know. I think maybe 573 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 2: Jannis is still the Milwaukee and when he got introduced 574 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 2: to Tacos, I think Doc Rivers is good. If he 575 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: retires at the end of this year, then Austin Rivers 576 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 2: will take over and he's definitely leaving. Yeah, that would 577 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 2: be tough. I'm just gonna step aside and my son's 578 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 2: gonna take over. Might be one of the most controversial 579 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: handing off of a job we've ever seen. It's not 580 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 2: gonna be like me, but it won't be my faultymore. 581 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 2: It's not gonna be my fault. No, I mean, it's 582 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 2: good theater for us, no question, It'll always be his fault. 583 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 2: You get you get to the off season, and you wait, 584 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 2: you tell me how happy Jason Tatum is gonna be 585 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 2: when it's like, hey, oh yeah, hey, Bruce and pr 586 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 2: what's going on this week? Yeah? I don't have anything 587 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 2: on here for you? Uh yeah, uh hey, can we 588 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 2: meet on Wednesday and talk about opportunities? Well, listen, I'm 589 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 2: at that big Taco Bell photo shoot with Jalen on Wednesday, 590 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 2: and then I got a meeting with Jalen on Thursday. 591 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 2: We have some new sponsors coming in Froy. You know what, 592 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 2: Let's get together next week. Yeah, Jason Tatum's gonna love that. Well. 593 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: This also presumes and I and I hope that your 594 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: best or worst case scenario, depending on whether you want 595 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 2: the drama in the heat and chaos or are for 596 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 2: things to go smoothly, is that Jason Tatum is able 597 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 2: to come in and ball out at the highest level. 598 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 2: Because if he's not, then there's not a whole lot 599 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 2: of room for him to complain. That's why great, it's 600 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 2: gonna be great. This He's gonna be fine. That's I mean. 601 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 2: The Celtics now can win the title. They are now 602 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 2: a team that can win the title. But just wait, 603 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 2: I already thought they could could fight the other teams 604 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 2: in the West. Because they're beating the Knicks. We already 605 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: know that. Yeah, they're not getting power. They're not a 606 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: great matchup for the Nick. There they're not a matchup 607 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 2: for the Knicks. Look, it's all We'll get to the matchups. 608 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,479 Speaker 2: Because we saw tonight what could be an NBA Finals matchup. 609 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: Really show you that if this is the NBA Finals matchup, 610 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 2: it's going to be a sweep. But it's all about matchups. 611 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 2: I don't like the Knicks with the Pistons. I love 612 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 2: the Knicks and the Celtics. The Celtics and the Pistons, 613 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 2: I like it. So it's all about who who winds 614 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 2: up surviving those first couple of rounds and who gets there. 615 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 2: It's all about the matchups. Time now to find out 616 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 2: what's trending in the wide world of sports. With someone 617 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 2: who's been called the Detroit Pistons of Fox Sports Radio 618 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 2: because tonight they're both wearing things on their shirts that 619 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 2: have an L on them.

Uh. The Spurs beat the 723 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 2: Pistons one one, one oh six. This is the second 724 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 2: time in the past two and a half weeks the 725 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 2: Spurs have played the Pistons, and the Pistons make most 726 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 2: teams in the East look bad. Most teams in the 727 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 2: NBA look bad, our depth, our youth. Kay Cunningham's the MVP. 728 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,439 Speaker 2: They can't sniff the San Antonio Spurs this year more 729 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,840 Speaker 2: than any in the NBA. The playoffs are gonna be 730 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 2: about matchups, and and you can I can already see 731 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 2: how things are going to go when you get to 732 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 2: the conference finals, right if you're going off, I talked 733 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 2: about five teams that can win the NBA title this 734 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 2: year if you go to certain matchups, I know how 735 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 2: it's gonna go. If the Knicks have to play the 736 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 2: Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pistons are gonna win. 737 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 2: If the Knicks have to play the Celtics in the 738 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks are gonna win. If the 739 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,359 Speaker 2: Pistons have to play the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, 740 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 2: the Pistons are gonna win. If the Pistons somehow get 741 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 2: out of the East and play the Spurs, guess what. 742 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 2: Spurs are gonna win that one easy in a sweep. 743 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 2: Pistons can't come close to San Antonio. It's all gonna be. 744 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 2: NBA playoffs generally is about matchups, but that's usually early rounds. 745 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 2: Why do we see some seven seeds giving two seeds 746 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 2: trouble over the course of the time is because hey, 747 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 2: the matchup doesn't work out, or some series get more 748 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 2: once you get down to the But now, once you 749 00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 2: get down to the end, it's okay. The best teams 750 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 2: wind up win. But this is a matchup year more 751 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,479 Speaker 2: than any other in the NBA. And if we get 752 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 2: Piston Spurs, man, forget this Spur. They're banging the drum 753 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 2: after the game. It's like, man, everybody loves this Detroit 754 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,760 Speaker 2: Pistons team and everything is great. Kate Cunningham again, second 755 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,720 Speaker 2: time in a row. The Spurs defensively and Steph Castle 756 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 2: had him in a blender. He was ten for twenty 757 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,240 Speaker 2: six on the floor. I think the last two games 758 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 2: Kate Cunningham is like seventeen for fifty from the floor, 759 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 2: Like it's not gonna it's not gonna happen for him 760 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 2: against the Spur. It's a bad matchup for him. Meanwhile, 761 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 2: Wemby is like, you're gonna win you dfs every single 762 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 2: day with if he plays the Pistons. Frostburgy got his stats. 763 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,240 Speaker 4: Thirty a game, sixteen and a half rebounds a game, 764 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 4: four assists, and almost six blocks a game. 765 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 2: I mean that it's if this is the NBA Finals, 766 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 2: a four game they made, maybe they'd only play three 767 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 2: because they go, hey, Pistons want you want to take it? 768 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 2: If you go out here, you're gonna be uh, they're 769 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 2: gonna be three in a well, the assumption that either 770 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,439 Speaker 2: of them makes it, I like that, unless I don't. 771 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 2: I just want to battle it out for the Pistons 772 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 2: have been a fun story. I think the Eastern Conference 773 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 2: you're talking about a little more potential for chaos. As 774 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 2: good as they've been, and we've certainly talked about them 775 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 2: a lot on the show, no question about it. Kate 776 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 2: Cunningham one of the few remaining. Hey, that guy's going 777 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 2: to be in the MVP consideration. Why because the other 778 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 2: guys are gonna miss an extra game or two and 779 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 2: slough off. And that's the way it goes. Right now, 780 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 2: the prohibited favorite with a little bit of cushion is 781 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 2: SGA's up to minus three p twenty. I believe in 782 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 2: the latest offerings. But for the matchups, the presumption that 783 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 2: the Knicks are just gonna walk through the Celtics, I 784 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 2: mean they're one and one on the year. I mean, 785 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 2: come on, you're gonna still battle it out and Tatum's bad. 786 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 2: I watched them beat him last year. I watch him 787 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 2: beat them last year. Okay, last year. I'm okay. I'm 788 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 2: okay with that. I'm okay with that. I'm a right 789 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 2: with that. All right, you're still playing no defense, although 790 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 2: you might be more well rested because Tims isn't there. 791 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 2: But we'll watch that play out and maybe it goes 792 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 2: the same way. I'm not quite so sure that that's 793 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 2: the and some of the other matchups and teams that 794 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 2: are still in the mix. While I don't love Denver 795 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 2: over overall, and you know, you're still missing some component 796 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 2: parts that jokic guy finds a way to make things happen. 797 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 2: So you know they're no easy walk in the park 798 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 2: over the course of the series, but it is fun 799 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 2: to see new Blood engaged and represented, and certainly the 800 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 2: Spurs one of the great stories we talked about him 801 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 2: coming into the year. You know, with Wemby, if he's 802 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 2: healthy and he's able to go, and clearly he's been 803 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 2: everything as advertised and then some, and you're looking at 804 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,919 Speaker 2: the depth of what they bring in some nights where 805 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 2: he's only got to play twenty five minutes and score 806 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,919 Speaker 2: ten points. That's the depth they've been able to bring. 807 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 2: So that'll be fun on the Western Conference side of things. 808 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,399 Speaker 2: But you know, night to night they'll get challenged. They'll 809 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 2: they'll find some others that come up and at least, 810 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 2: you know, try to step up and weight class. Yeah, 811 00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,720 Speaker 2: but you bring up a great point about the Spurs 812 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 2: is that we have seen them continue to go on 813 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 2: this big win streak and win games. And it's not 814 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,240 Speaker 2: like every night Wenby's video game numbers. It's some nights 815 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 2: like tonight, but some nights it's yeah, he was sixteen 816 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 2: eleven and they still won by fifteen. But you know 817 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 2: what's great about it, and this was a challenging team 818 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 2: of Detroit, is since we've cast off so much of 819 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 2: the NBA, a lot of the winning streaks, we go, 820 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,320 Speaker 2: all right, we can't wait to see you in the playoffs. 821 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 2: That's the unfortunate part of where we're at in the 822 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,879 Speaker 2: regular season. As much as we want to say, hey, 823 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 2: these five teams are title contenders. Okay, eventually they have 824 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 2: to play each other in series, the good teams, because 825 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 2: in the interim, you can run off fourteen wins against 826 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 2: crap teams that aren't trying to play for anything. Particularly, man, 827 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 2: how many guys are now on the end of year 828 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 2: list for the Kings Hey season engine surgery for that 829 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,720 Speaker 2: guy and over in Utah that guy. I mean, they're 830 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 2: going to resemble the teams they started the year with. 831 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 2: They're all done because that's the easiest way to tank. 832 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 2: It's well, I say, NBA, how great would be just 833 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,760 Speaker 2: going to the playoffs right now? Of these meaningless, mostly 834 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 2: meaningless last twenty some odd games. Once in a while, 835 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 2: you get a game like tonight, We go, oh, that's 836 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 2: a big spotlight into the future. Here we get this 837 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 2: in the NBA finals. Good luck Man, good luck, good 838 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 2: luck Detroit. That's it. They still have to get through 839 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 2: another twenty games before we can get there. Plus playoffs 840 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 2: come on, Exit Out about a Fresca exit swollen Dome. 841 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 2: The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon 842 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 2: Coming up next, Lebron James has made NBA history again. 843 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 2: Plus we get into the big NFL trade of the day. 844 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 2: Desperation is a stinky cologne.
