He was 34 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: on paced for ninety two. But right now Luca at 35 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 1: thirty nine, tennissists and eight rebounds, he is two rebounds 36 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: away from a triple double, which you'll probably get because 37 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: he got the entire fourth quarter here. And let's face it, 38 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: not a lot of defense being played tonight. There's a 39 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: lot of shots. There's a lot of opportunities for stats 40 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: out there tonight. 41 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: No, there's no question about it. 42 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: This is this is not one of This is not 43 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: Brown's raiders. Like, there's a lot of chances for stats 44 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: out there, bunch of lobs, but certainly a lot of 45 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: jump shots of all right, go ahead, take it, go ahead. 46 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: We'll give it to any chance we see Timmy in 47 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: the game tonight. Oh, has got some moves. He might 48 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: be activated. Shot him. It might be a little too 49 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 1: early for Drew. Timmy, you just signed the two way 50 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: contract what yesterday? But there's plenty of time for garbage. 51 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: Well that's well, you would think I was wondering if 52 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: there's time, who gets in the game, Uh, Timmy or Brownie? 53 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 2: I want to see both? 54 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: You want to at the same time?

Watch Bronny 56 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: and Timmy get in and all of a sudden, it's 57 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: like it's like they've played together for years. They run 58 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: a two man game, and it's just, yeah, we got it, man, 59 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: we got the thing. 60 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: I always want to. 61 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: You know, the Brownny east side showed things going back 62 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: to last year. Not his fault. You know. It's kind 63 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: of like we talk a lot about shador an unfortunate 64 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: victim of circumstances. Time nothing. You know, you just went 65 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: three stok victim a circumstances. Not that both those guys 66 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: don't get a little chirpye at times. But for Bronnie, 67 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: he's taken a lot of incoming. He's got as many 68 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: stats tonight as don't connect. Okay, just and that was Remember, 69 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: that was Lebron's guy. He was his favorite guy other 70 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: than Bronny going into the coming out of the draft. 71 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,559 Speaker 2: He tried to trade him last year in the trade. 72 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: No no, no, But but when this before the season, 73 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: like before the draft, he was talking about that was 74 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: his guy, and then they drafted him and he barely 75 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: sees the court. 76 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: So Lebron, you're on the way out. We're not even 77 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: gonna play guys that you like. 78 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: Forget you like that about you and the kid and 79 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: Smith blank you. 80 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: By the way, Well, what did I do?

Well, now he's gonna well, I mean, look, 83 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: it's not. 84 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: He scored like thirteen. Yeah, well it's not my file. 85 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: I didn't tell J. J. Reddick to send him for 86 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: the first But here's the thing. I gotta make sure 87 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: that folks, you know my guy can do math, because 88 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: that ninety two came off. Was saking a couple of minutes, Yeah, 89 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: because otherwise it's ninety six. Okay, he understands the multiply 90 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: N four. 91 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: He was using a big max. Yeah, well number he 92 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: was kind of moving around to like a chessboard. Big Max. 93 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 2: Should we just go get. 94 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: Like ninety two, Big Max, and see how many you 95 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: can power down in a four hour? 96 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: Can you eat two more? I can't eat two more. 97 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 2: He was on pace for ninety two points till you 98 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: said that. 99 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and now he's going to score now he 100 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: might not even score fifty's. 101 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 2: He will dress them all time. Great night. How about 102 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 2: I give you this again. I'll give you this. We'll 103 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: talk about this again. 104 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: And they're only up five right, uh, thirty nine, eleven 105 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 1: and eight. They are only a couple of guys having 106 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: the start to the season. Luka Doncic does and is having. 107 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: Luca also has the storyline the Lakers are successful, surprisingly successful. 108 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: They were successful without Lebron. We haven't mentioned Lebron's name 109 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: once this entire conversation. Ra by the way, he's got 110 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: eighteen tonight right in twenty three, Max, we had this 111 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: is this is where Lebron is with the Lakers. Now 112 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: what cut part of the conversation is he really he's not. 113 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: It's Luca and then it's Austin Reeves and Lebron Lebron. 114 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: He is just falling down the pecking order of how 115 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: relevant he is. We haven't even mentioned his name. Because 116 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: Luca is gonna win the MVP this year. He's gonna 117 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: have it clinched by the beginning of January. Because this 118 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: is how it goes in the NBA. I'm voting for. 119 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: It's unlike the end of the year in the in 120 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, in the NFL, where you want to say, hey, 121 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: who closes great, who lifts their team up great. It's 122 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: why Otani was able to win again, you know, having 123 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: a big September pitching coming back there. That's why he's 124 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: able to win. In the NBA, it's if you get 125 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: out to a lead and your team is good, you 126 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: coast to the MVP. Luka Doncic will coast to the 127 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: MVP if the Lakers are real like this twelve and 128 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: four is team. He's the top of the stats. He 129 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: doesn't need to lead the league in scoring. If he's 130 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: in the top three and he has these big games, 131 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: look like Sga had all the fifty point games last year. 132 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: Luca's gonna win. He's got the storyline, he's got the 133 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: he got everything you need. There's other great players having 134 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: great years, right, There's no one from Detroit's gonna win 135 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: the NBA MVP. You leave Cunningham, He's not gonna win 136 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: the MVP, right, it's a fifty to one, right, Luca's 137 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: going to win it, and they'll have it clinched by 138 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: the beginning of January. Right now, he's third behind the 139 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: afore engine, Jokic and SGA in terms of the odds. 140 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: You can still get plus three to ninety coming into 141 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: tonight's game, and maybe by the end of that first 142 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: quarter those short shortened a little bit. But there will 143 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: be an overwhelming desire to give Luca the MVP over 144 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: both SGA and Jokic. I mean, think about it, think 145 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: about it. Oh no, let's give it to one of 146 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: those guys again, give it to Luca. Hey, let's give 147 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: it to Luca. Yeah, Shingoon, let's go chance. There's no 148 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: chance to win. I just think it would be fun. 149 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: It would be but he has no chance to win. 150 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: Now. 151 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: I'd like to see Jalen Brunson win. He doesn't have 152 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: a chance. Well, I mean, you've already said they're gonna 153 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: fall off. They're only ten and six. They're gonna get 154 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: y honest, They'll get you honest to the deadline. Okay, 155 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: Jannis is out. 156 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: With an injury. You don't want him February. I mean, 157 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 2: he's doing commercials. We don't need him till February.

No, it's fun. 173 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: But and then you got Yannis who's shilling for like 174 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: one of the department stores. 175 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's good. It's okay. We don't 176 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: need not to land to February. That's all. 177 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: That's why I make the trades'll be he'll be okay. 178 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: But now, yeah, we'll have more NBA on the way again. 179 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: Going to the fourth quarter. Here, Lakers and Clippers ninety 180 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: eight ninety three. We've told you the Rams are the 181 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: best team in the NFL. Gratulations everybody else who is 182 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: running with that take now today I saw a couple 183 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: of shows today. 184 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: You know the Rams. 185 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: Yes, the Rams are the only team you can trust 186 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Two weeks ago we told you how 187 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: good they were and that they were going to prove 188 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: they were the best team. They did it two weeks ago, 189 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: beat in Seattle, that this week in the big showdown 190 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: over Tampa Bay, racing out to a big lead. They 191 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: have everything going their way. So we're gonna give you 192 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: something new on it that other people can take extent 193 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: of this. Yes, look, this is how you win in 194 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: the NFL. When your quarterback is lights out and your 195 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: defense's lights out, you're gonna win most weeks. Right, And 196 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford has been an MVP level from the beginning 197 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: of the year, and the defense is the best defense 198 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: in the NFC. This is how good the Rams are, right, 199 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: This is the Rams nube coming into this year. We 200 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: have to have a better start than we've had the 201 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: last couple of years. We can't rely on Matthew Stafford 202 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: getting hot the second half of the year and rolling 203 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: into the playoffs is the hottest team. And then hey, 204 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: we run into something because we got to play the 205 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: NFC title game in Philadelphia, right, No, no, no, we 206 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: got to play the NFC title game here in Los Angeles. 207 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: We got to win more games. I even don't think 208 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh thought the first half to two thirds of 209 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: the season would have gone this. Well, well, I'm sure 210 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: he's probably thinking, you know, if we hit this, you know, 211 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: week eleven, week twelve, and we're seven and four something 212 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: like that, maybe even eight and three. 213 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: Boy, I really take that. But best record in the NFC. 214 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: I don't even think they thought that, because now this 215 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: is the Rams time as they get towards the end 216 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: of the year. But now I'll give you something different 217 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: because there's only one thing that concerns me about the Rams. 218 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: They can win any kind of game. You know, we 219 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: talked about it early in the show. You mentioned they 220 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: won this game last week. Is it kind of a 221 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: different game that they can They can win any kind 222 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: of game and they haven't. The four picks on Sam 223 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: Darnold and not not a clean game in any way, 224 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: shape or form. But they were able to make the 225 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: stop when it mattered. They haven't even started running the 226 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: football yet, really, and we know how well they can 227 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: do that, but it's really they're doing that as as 228 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: much of a complimentary thing this year. But when Stafford 229 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: is as good as he is an MVP level, yeah, 230 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: you don't run the football. It's thirty and two. 231 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: But it's amazing, right, I mean, every week is four 232 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 2: touchdowns for Stafford. 233 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: Just got to be excited that we actually have someone 234 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: at thirty touchdowns because it gets four touchdowns in the 235 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: first half for Stafford every week. So yeah, and I 236 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: got to think that as the season goes on, you 237 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: will see games where, no, we can give the ball 238 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: to Kian Williams twenty five times in this game now, 239 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: and we can run all over you. Right, we have 240 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: that club in our bag. We just haven't had to 241 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: show it yet because hey, we're gonna ride the Stafford 242 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: Heater as long as we go. It looks like home 243 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: field is gonna come to the Rams as well, because 244 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: the Eagles have all kinds of problems. Their schedule is 245 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: tougher down the stretch. But the one concern I have, 246 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: and this is where we're at in the season, where 247 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: Week thirteen we're wondering when the good teams are gonna 248 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: step up. Who's gonna be good? The Rams are the 249 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: only team you can trust. The flip side of it 250 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: is this My only concern is that the Rams have 251 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: peaked too early because they've been playing phenomenal football now 252 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: for the better part of the last two months, and 253 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: now you have another month and a half until the playoffs. 254 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: You know you're really going to sustain that level all 255 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: the way into the playoffs and through the playoffs. It's 256 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: a really hard thing to do. You want to be 257 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: starting to play your best football now, right do you 258 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: get to Thanksgiving and say, okay, so Thanksgiving to the 259 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: end the last five to six weeks issue of the season. 260 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: That's want to play our best football going into the playoffs. 261 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: That's what we want for the Rams to keep this up, 262 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: and Stafford's heater and the Rams defense and all that 263 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: goes along with it. It's a lot to ask because 264 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: teams don't generally go wire to wire in the NFL anymore. 265 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 1: We see it once every couple of years. Special teams 266 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: will do it, but generally the wide or somebody runs 267 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: into trouble. 268 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 2: Look at the trouble. 269 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: We didn't think the Lions run into trouble last year 270 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: fifteen and two. Look how hot they are. What happens? 271 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: Oh boy, they get behind two touchdowns to Washington and 272 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: they can't make it up and they get ushered out 273 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: of the playoffs and what could have been their best 274 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: chance to win the Super Bowl. That's how fast it 275 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: happens sometimes when you peak a little bit too early. 276 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: And here are the Rams. The Rams have really peaked 277 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: for the last two months, right. You had the little 278 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: bit of the special teams Snaffou's ear on in the season. 279 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: It took a little while for Stafford to warm up. 280 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: But really you're going from beginning of October until now. 281 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: It's man, the Rams have just been motoring through people 282 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: and just putting all kinds of points up. Is that 283 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: really gonna It's a really difficult thing to do. So 284 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: that my only concern because nothing else is out. There's 285 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: everything else they can do. They got the horses everywhere 286 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: on this team. Is that did they peak too early? 287 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: And are they going to run into a team that's 288 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: a little bit hotter than them in the playoffs, because 289 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: that happens. Yeah, down the stretch, you still have a 290 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: bunch of either dome games or home games, so whether 291 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: or not going to be a big factor there, right, 292 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: Detroit comes to Los Angeles. But one of the things 293 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: that does stand out to me is, you know, we've 294 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: talked a lot about injuries across the league. Right We're 295 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: getting ready for the return of Joe Burrow to whatever 296 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: that means in terms. 297 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: Of playing spoiler or playing meaningful football. 298 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: Really for Cincinnati talking about I'm a football player, this 299 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: is what I do. I can't be scared, and it's 300 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: saying all the right things and certainly everything you would expect. 301 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: But go on down the line. Right, the Bears played 302 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: this last week, there were down six starters on their defense. 303 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: Their entire linebacking corps didn't play. The Rams have been 304 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: extraordinarily healthy through twelve weeks of this regular season. Right, 305 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: Higbe's on the ir now, but otherwise they've avoided lingering 306 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: long standing injuries. Go back to Matthew Staffords. What was 307 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: the thing last year when we were talking about possibility 308 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: after a slow start that a bunch of these guys 309 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: might get dealt right his back? How good is it 310 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: coming into the season a little of that? How much 311 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: does he want to play whatever. Well, he's dominating. But 312 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: you look at DeVante Adams, who can Nakua missed a 313 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: little bit of time, but overall, you know you've had 314 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: health at all your key positions, including your guys up front. 315 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: Does that stand for a full seventeen I hope it does. 316 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: I want to see this version going into the playoffs. 317 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: But I'm a realist of the war of attrition that 318 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: is the National Football League and generally things normalized now 319 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: when we talk about the charges, we talked about the Ravens, 320 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: we talk about there's a couple of teams that no 321 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: matter what they do, no matter how sage brushes, incantations, prayer, vigils, 322 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: rosary beads, whenever they do, the injuries find their way 323 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 1: back into the room. Now about andy bets for anybody though, 324 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: but that's for everybody, for anybody, But a lot of 325 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: those teams are have those players coming back and they've 326 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: had to weather a storm. These guys have had clear 327 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: skies for twelve weeks.

So, uh, six and a 365 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: half to go in the fourth quarter. Lakers have jumped 366 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: way ahead of the Clippers right now one seventeen, one 367 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: oh two. It's been the big three for the Lakers now, 368 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: which is a weird thing to say, but it's their 369 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: big three of Luca Reeves and Lebron Lucas still at 370 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: thirty nine points and we thought he was gonna have 371 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: seventy tonight when he had twenty four in the first quarter. 372 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: He's at thirty nine at twelve assaists eight rebounds. Meanwhile, 373 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: Austin Reeves at twenty five lebron at twenty three to 374 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: give him a fifteen point leader in the six and 375 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: a half to go in the fourth quarter. 376 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 2: The Lakers big three. Maybe that's what it's gonna be now, 377 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 2: gonna be the big three of the Lakers. 378 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: Now that's really uh great anticipation with a fifteen point 379 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: lead here six fifty one remaining as to what it 380 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: looks like at the three minute mark, is it Timmy? 381 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 2: Do we get Timmy and Bronnie? Yeah? 382 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: And they look like Stockton and Malone running that pick 383 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: and roll. It's Bronnie and Timmy, Timmy and Bronnie. 384 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: Tim suck. 385 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: So they make these collegiate sets, right, and someone pulled 386 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: and drew Timmy like this guy's gonna be like thirty 387 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: five years old. He was thirty five. Goga come on. 388 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: But like a lot of the photo they used me 389 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: look like it was Jeff Rulan running around. Uh So, listen, 390 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: the thing is with watching the Lakers, watching the new 391 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: look Lakers. 392 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 2: In their back I mean, Pep Bets is there. Mookie 393 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: Betts is at the game. 394 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: Jerry Bruckheimer is at the game, than Jerkheimer filming F 395 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: one to two at the game. 396 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 2: That would be great. 397 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: But let me just say because this is something that 398 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this today. And you see the 399 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: way the NBA has started this year. Windows open and 400 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: close for teams, sometimes very surprisingly and shockingly. Sometimes Hey, 401 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: we're building towards opening the window for a championship. Sometimes 402 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: we see the windows starting to close. But sometimes the 403 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: window is thrown wide open beginning of the day and 404 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: we're singing and there's birds outside and an apple pie 405 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: on the window. And sometimes the window was just slam shut, 406 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: like oh, there's an open bee hive right outside, and boom, 407 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: we're shutting this thing, or like when you want to 408 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: keep ghosts out or something else by shutting the window, 409 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: don't invite vampires into your homewown. Epidemic of pie thefs. 410 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 2: Probably had something to do with it all too. 411 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: And this tonight on TMZ, pie thefts throughout the local 412 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: South Bay area. Wait, know, there is a story this 413 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: morning that I thought would be of interest to you guys. 414 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: Evidently people are going down the path of domesticating raccoons 415 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: and using him his house pins. Okay, Like, can you 416 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: can you train a rac like, can you play fetch 417 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: with it? 418 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 2: Really? Yeah? I was watching this videos astounded. 419 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: Every raccoon I ever met has always been a blank 420 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: you man, I do it. 421 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 2: That's more the possum.

Okay, I do what the hell I want 424 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: to Okay, I'll get that. Yeah, that's how I want 425 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: to train a raccoon. Jason, Jets defense have in common? No, 426 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 1: what do a pack of raccoons and the Jets defense 427 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: haven't common? No picks, that's a good one. Put that 428 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: on the internet, Frostburg, you'll trend. 429 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 2: That's a great one. 430 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 1: What's the internet? What the internet? Who's I think you 431 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: should fight each other to the death. But I started 432 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: thinking about this today. You know. You know, we talked 433 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: to Rick Buker the other night and he's to me, says, listen, 434 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: you watch the Knicks closer than what do you think? 435 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: And I said, you know, things are just a lot 436 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: harder than they should be, and seeing the Knicks, it 437 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: gives me a window into the rest of the NBA 438 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: in that sometimes your window gets shut really quickly, and 439 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: the Knicks, it's harder than it should be for them, 440 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: and they're the title favorites in the East. Look, they 441 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: already had a couple of big wins this year, they 442 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: beat the Cavs, but they've struggled a lot, and they 443 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: struggle because they're slow. It's not so it's not how 444 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: much how bad they are defensively, it's that they're slow. 445 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: And with Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns and now you 446 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,959 Speaker 1: look antonobe Is out and and Mitchell Robinson, they're slow. 447 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 2: And this is why. 448 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: The teams they play stay in the game with them 449 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: for a long time, even the bad teams. If you 450 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: are younger and athletic, you can stay in the game 451 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: because the Knicks allow you to get to the rim. 452 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 2: Right. 453 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: They're just not They're just not fast. And that's where 454 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: it manifests itself on defense, where hey, these teams are 455 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: all shooting for a high percentage against the Knick because 456 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: that's what you've seen all through the year, and the 457 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: really good teams are staying with them and they're beating them. 458 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: The teams that are just okay, the Knicks are beating 459 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: but it's a bigger struggle. This doesn't mean the Nicks 460 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: are falling off the earth face of the earth. But 461 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: maybe they're a fifty win team. But you look at 462 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: the teams who suddenly have seen their windows get thrown 463 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: wide open this year. Detroit, Toronto, the Spurs, the Lakers, 464 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: what are they all? They're all younger and more athletic, 465 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: all those teams, that's what they've all become. And for 466 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: a team like the Pistons, they're younger and more athletic 467 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: and ascending all at the same time. Same thing for 468 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: San Antonio. Now san Antonio without Wemby, that's a thing, 469 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: and that's too bad because you saw good they were 470 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: with him. But the same thing for Toronto. You know, 471 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: it took him a couple of years to move on, right, 472 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: But now here they are. And the Lakers, yes, they've 473 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: gotten younger, more athletic, Lebron playing more of a supporting role. 474 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: It's skinny Luca driven in Austin Reeves, you know, two 475 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: younger guys in the backcourt with it like this is 476 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: kind of how you see teams all of a sudden 477 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: throw that window open and how it closes so fast. 478 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: And I wonder for the Knicks, I'm really like, is 479 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: the window for them to win the title closed because yeah, 480 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: they'll they'll win a lot of games this year and 481 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: barring changes, they'll get to the playoffs play a team 482 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,239 Speaker 1: that's younger and a little more confidence. Like if they 483 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: played the Pistons this year in the playoffs compared to 484 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: last year, boy, be different, different thing because the Pistons 485 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: they were young and they were athletic, but they didn't 486 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: quite know how to win. They weren't this version of 487 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: themselves yet. And the Knicks and the playoff against them 488 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: when they played them previously, hey, they were able to 489 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: say you know what, yeah, sorry, you're going home early, right, 490 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: So that's kind of But this year it's different and 491 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: they've hit it big, really fast. And I wonder for 492 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,959 Speaker 1: the Knicks when it comes to the playoffs when you 493 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: play so many games in so many days in a row, 494 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: and every offensive possession for you, that's the other part 495 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: of being slow, is every offensive possession for the Knicks 496 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: is a grind. They don't run the ball up and 497 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: down the floor because they can't. Every single possession is contested, 498 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: it's defended, and that wears on you. It wears on you, 499 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: and it wears on your legs all game long, all 500 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: season long, it's more difficult than it is to be 501 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: for the Knicks, because mainly the Knicks are slow. So 502 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: I wonder, like you get to the playoffs, they're gonna 503 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: get run out of the playoffs by the Pistons or 504 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: by the Raptors or by somebody. You're gonna say, they 505 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: need big changes now, and they got to get faster 506 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: because they're not as athletic as these teams that now 507 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: suddenly have become really good and have seen their two 508 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: three year window open. Because I wonder if the Knicks 509 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 1: window was the last two years and they just couldn't 510 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: break through. 511 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 2: It the last show. 512 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: Sure you know, yeah, I mean I look at it. 513 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: Most of our I mean, and it's not rocket science said. 514 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: The best squads are in the Western Conference, right, you 515 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: got some risers in the East, and certainly the Pistons 516 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: are exciting to watch what they've been able to accomplish 517 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: to this point. 518 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: For the Knicks, the. 519 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: Hope is just that you have your six or seven 520 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: man rotation and you're all relatively healthy to be able 521 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: to play those thirty plus minutes right for your starters. 522 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: Figure when you look at Cat and get O G 523 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,719 Speaker 1: back and whatever. Bronson is at that point, right, just 524 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: the weary, heavy minutes. And that's the other part is 525 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: that it's all stressful minutes. Right. Rick Buker had the 526 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: term with us several years back, longtime front of the show, 527 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: where he talked about Lebron minutes right of the All right, 528 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: it's an extra minute in the minutes played column. But 529 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: you weren't running up and down, you weren't defending heavy, right, 530 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: just one of those iso ball kind of things where 531 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: you're on the court. But tick tick tick tick tick. 532 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: And certainly it's something I've tried to push on my 533 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: daughter's soccer team. It's like when you know you could 534 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: just kind of play with the ball back on your side, 535 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: it's like played four corners, tick tick tick Lebron minutes 536 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: along the way. But for your nix in a playoff series, right, 537 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: assuming they're adjudicated, as we've grown accustomed to playoff series 538 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: being adjudicated, it evens out with some of the youthful 539 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: spurt ability and the legs and transition buckets because now 540 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: you can grind it out and play football, yeah, to 541 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: a degree, So advantage nicks in that regard. So I 542 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: mean the big key is, are you healthy. Right, you 543 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: brought up the Spurs.
