DP show email address TP at Danpatrick dot com, 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: Twitter handle a DP show Nuggets meet the Lakers. But 10 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 1: the story is the Lakers according to the Nuggets, and 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: that bothers the Nuggets. Here is the head coach of 12 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: the Nuggets, Mike Malone. Let's be honest. 13 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 2: That was a national narrative was, Hey, the Lakers are fine, 14 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 2: they're down one oh, but they figured something out. No 15 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: one talked about Nicole. It just had a historic performance. 16 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 2: He's got thirteen Chipple doubles now third all time. What 17 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 2: he's doing is just incredible. But the narrative wasn't at 18 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: the Nuggets. The narrative wasn't about Nicola. The narrative is 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: about the Lakers and their adjustments. 20 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: So you know you put that in your Pike. 21 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 2: You smoke it and you come back and you know what, 22 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 2: we're going to go up. 23 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: To Oh okay, and you did. You got the win. 24 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: You want to change the narrative. Beat the Lakers, because 25 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: then nobody's going to talk about the Lakers. They'll be 26 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: done for the season. Win two of the next five, 27 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: and then people will talk about the Nuggets, or at 28 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: least you hope they'll talk about the Nuggets a little bit. 29 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: But don't beg for coverage here. You don't need to 30 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: just play. Just play. Win and now you're going to 31 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: force the media to have to cover you. The media 32 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,919 Speaker 1: did not like covering the San Antonio Spurs, the national media. 33 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: They didn't. They weren't exciting, but they were methodically great. 34 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: Be like, oh god, it's the Spurs again. So did 35 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: Tim Duncan ever say, hey, can you shine the spotlight 36 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: on me or Jenobili or Pop? No, they didn't. They 37 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: just played. They forced the media to cover the San 38 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs. 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 3: Yes, the narrative at halftime of Game one was how 40 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 3: Nicola just had one of the greatest hats we've ever seen, 41 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 3: probably should have won his third straight MVP, and the 42 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 3: Lakers are dead. 43 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: If they can't keep up with this. 44 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: But in the second half, the Nuggets let the Lakers 45 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 3: back into the game, and the narrative of that game changed. 46 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 3: That's just kind of it's kind of what happened there. 47 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: Well, the Lakers are you know, they're they're gonna get clicks. 48 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: People care about the Lakers and you're either a Lebron 49 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: fan or you're not ad everything that goes along with 50 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: being a Laker fan, and that's why they get the attention. Yeah, 51 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: it's the reason why the Cowboys get the attention. Not 52 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: the best team, but they're the most covered team. The 53 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: Lakers may not be the best team, but they're the 54 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: most covered team because of Lebron James and of course 55 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: the history of the Lakers. You throw in ad and 56 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: you have rematches here from the bubble and so it's interesting. 57 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: But if you want people to get excited, you're not 58 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: going to lead with the Denver Nuggets and Nuggets fans. Look, 59 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, direct your anger at ESPN. They're the ones 60 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: broadcasting this, and what are they playing up? They're playing 61 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: up the La Lakers. I'm just telling you the reality 62 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: of this. 63 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 4: Yes, well, I'll tell you when you compare the Lakers 64 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 4: and the Cowboys coverage. It's not even close. How out 65 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 4: of whack it is. The Cowboys have not been a 66 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 4: relevant competitive team. Take away the regular season. It's nice 67 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 4: to win twelve games the regg season, but the Cowboys 68 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 4: have not been a relevant competitive football team as far 69 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 4: as like a contender. Basically some of our lifetimes. They're cute, 70 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 4: they're fun during the regular season, and they don't do anything. 71 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 4: The Lakers at least make the postseason except for that stretch. 72 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 4: We're they went five years without going to the playoffs. 73 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: Late Kobe and the Lebron took over. The Lakers almost 74 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 4: always relevant in the title chase. Cowboys are almost never 75 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 4: relevant to the title chase. 76 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: But this is like a Top forty station just playing 77 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: the hits over and over, like once an hour, you're 78 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: gonna hear this song and then you're going to hear 79 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: it again. That's what happens in the sports world. They 80 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: just play the hits. Hey, all else fails is Lebron 81 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: showing his age. That'll be a headline. Can Dak win 82 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: a big game? Is he a clutch perform Where is 83 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: Dak rank with great quarterbacks? I mean, this is how 84 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: it works. Unfortunately it does, and it's very top heavy. 85 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: You're going to cover the Yankees, you'll cover And it 86 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: used to be I can take you back when I 87 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: was at the Mothership. There were certain players in certain 88 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: teams that you were almost asked to directed to talk about. 89 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: We have to find a way to incorporate this. Remember 90 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: when we had Doug Gottliebon and he said that when 91 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: he was doing radio at ESPN, he said, you get 92 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: these talking points that we want you to somehow talk 93 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: about Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow got more attention than any 94 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: NFL player probably has in history. And he was a 95 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: backup quarterback. Why because people cared about Tim Tebow. This 96 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: is letting you behind the curtain. This is what goes on. 97 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: You play the hits because you want people to watch, 98 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: You want people to listen. And if they're you know, 99 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: driving by the dial on their TV set and all 100 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: of a sudden they go, oh they're talking about the Lakers, 101 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: or they're talking about the Cowboys. Are they talking about 102 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, You're going to stop? Or if it's radio, 103 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: same thing, Oh what are they talking about? Oh what 104 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: are they talking about? Oh they're talking about the Cowboys. 105 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: That's just how it works. So we are hearing from 106 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: a lot of Denver fans. Seaton has been recapping some 107 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: of the tweets that he's received this morning. Any positives 108 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: there are they still a little frosty. Uh yeah, it's 109 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: mostly frosty. 110 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 3: I think the people are upset because they're like the 111 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 3: national media, you know, cost jokers third straight MVP in 112 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 3: the national media because we set the narrative and overlook 113 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 3: the nuggets that it's costing their players getting their flowers 114 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:08,799 Speaker 3: so to speak. 115 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, all right, yeah, I get it, but Joker 116 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: to me should have won the MVP. I didn't have 117 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: a problem with Joe l Embiid. I do think there 118 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: was a reset with Kendrick Perkins with what he said 119 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: and he was wrong in what he said about the 120 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: voters the make up with the voters, and I thought 121 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: that that was almost a reset, and then people went, man, 122 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: maybe he's right. Let me look at what Joel Embiid's doing. 123 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: And because the Joker is going further, well, you know, 124 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: he didn't do that in the previous two years when 125 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: he won the MVP. To get to this point. He's 126 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: a wonderful player, He's not exciting but he's a wonderful player. 127 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: Jamal Murray was wonderful. He was Klay Thompson like last 128 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: night in the fourth quarter. But it's about Lebron shooting 129 00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: threes and missing threes. It's ad you know, Jacquelin Hyde 130 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: and he was hide last night. 131 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 5: You know. 132 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: Now you go back home. You got to win four 133 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: or five here. But it'll be about the Lakers. We're 134 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: still talking about the Golden State Warriors. It's about playing 135 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: the hits Golden State. People care about Golden State. Is 136 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: Draymond coming back? You know who's good Comingo's going to 137 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: be traded? Who do they bring in? You know, there 138 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: was something yesterday with the Greek Freak. Somebody brought up, Hey, 139 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: love to see you with the Warriors. Greek Freak entertained 140 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: that It's like, yeah, that becomes his story. That's just 141 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: how it works. That's the machine rage against the machine. 142 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 5: Yeah. 143 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 4: I think the one thing that hurts Nuggets. I mean, 144 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 4: they were a very good team. They're obviously a very 145 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 4: good franchise the past five years. But three years ago 146 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 4: they made the Western Conference Finals. Two years ago they 147 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 4: bowed out the Western Conference semmis. Last year they bowed 148 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 4: out way earlier than people thought in the first. 149 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 6: Round, and that has a cooling effect. 150 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 4: It's like you buy into a story, and three years 151 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 4: ago they were a really cool story. Jokic was taking 152 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 4: that next step and was such an entertaining player. You 153 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 4: bought into it. But then they kind of bowed out 154 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 4: a little early, and sometimes people will bail on it. 155 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 4: And I think that's what hurt the Nuggets coverage wise 156 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 4: and the MVP is that you were going the wrong 157 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 4: way in the playoffs. 158 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, Marv, Yeah, to Paula's point, I feel like I 159 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 7: always do that with the Minnesota Vikings. The Minnesota Vikings 160 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 7: next year can go sixteen and one and we'd be like, 161 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 7: all right, But Kirk Crusin, I'm not going to give 162 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 7: you the MVP award because you guys are gonna flame out. 163 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 7: So history shows just like, all right, they're the one seed. 164 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 7: It's almost like the opposite of the Heat. They're not 165 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 7: just typical eight seed, but the one seed. All right. 166 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 7: I think the Lakers can beat them. 167 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: By the way the Miami Heat against the Boston Celtics. 168 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: The Miami Heat are nine point underdogs according to DraftKings, 169 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: and the Lakers are five and a half point favorites 170 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: on Saturday, all right, eight seven to seven to three. 171 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: DP show email Addressdpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle a TP show. 172 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: We'll check in with the Lakers coming up here in 173 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: down ten minutes. Actually we'll talk about the Nuggets and 174 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: the Lakers there. And also the situation where I had 175 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: caught wind of this before Doc Rivers was going to 176 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: be fired, where somebody said, hey, it's going to be 177 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: James Hardener Doc Rivers and one has to go, and 178 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: I thought, well, I'd let James Harden go. And the 179 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: person with the League office said, I don't know if 180 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: it's that easy. I don't know. You have a GM 181 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: who loves James Harden and Daryl Morey and don't know 182 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: if he'd love Doc Rivers. And so we saw and 183 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: Ramona Shelburn talked about this that it may come down 184 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: to who do you want to keep? And Ramono join us. 185 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: Coming up James Hardner doc Rivers. Now is James Harden 186 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: going to come back? So we'll talk about that coming 187 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: up as well. 188 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 3: Yes, you know, the interesting thing about that story is 189 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 3: when Doc Rivers was fired and it came out that 190 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 3: it was either going to be Doc or James. Almost 191 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: immediately the story broke to that James Harden was going 192 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 3: to decline this player option and become a f agent. Yes, 193 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: how do you fire your coach? I would knowing that 194 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 3: then he's gonna opt out. Yes, Or if you knew 195 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 3: you were going to opt out, why would you get 196 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 3: a coach fired? 197 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 6: I don't know. 198 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 4: I think those are valid points here. Yeah, Paul, here's 199 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 4: my theory. People like to do what other people do. 200 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 4: And you know, the Sixers have a new ish owner. 201 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 4: He's only been there a couple of years. He sees 202 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 4: Budenholezer get fired, you know, he sees Williams get fired 203 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 4: in Phoenix, and he goes my coach also disappointed. Well, 204 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 4: that's what everyone's doing. Everyone, these good teams who bowed 205 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 4: a little bit earlier in the playoffs are firing the coaches. 206 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 4: That's what I'm doing too. It's funny because some of 207 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 4: these guys may hire the coaches who just got fired. 208 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 6: From the other team. Yeah, Manty Williams could be. 209 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: He could be in Milwaukee, right, But there's only so 210 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: many coaches and that's why they have multiple jobs. Remember 211 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: Jean Shoe. Jean Shoe coached a long time in the 212 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: NBA and probably coached more teams than anybody in NBA history, 213 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: And you kept thinking at some point, what is somebody 214 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: seeing in this guy that the other guy didn't see 215 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: or that team doesn't want him? But we do. These 216 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: guys will get jobs, and Doc will probably you know, 217 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: get another job as well. But it just didn't work 218 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: out with James Harden. And I'm I don't know if 219 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: James Harden stays. Do you want him to stay? It 220 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: sounds like the GM does, but I don't. I'd move 221 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: on if I could. 222 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 8: Yeah, Ton, is it a little lazy when they just 223 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 8: repurpose the other coaches? Like I can understand Larry Brown, 224 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 8: Lenny Wilkins, maybe some more accomplished coaches that have had 225 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 8: several jobs, But why does it have to be the 226 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 8: same pool of three four five people. There's no one 227 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 8: else that could be handling an NBA head coaching job. 228 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: You know, maybe you play it safe there. Now you 229 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: get somebody who the players know, someone established, had some success. 230 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: Mike Budenholzer, Hey won a title, Okay, Monty Williams Coach 231 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: of the Year. Okay, Yeah, See, like this is. 232 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: The best time ever to be looking for a coach 233 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 3: because you have your choice of like three or four 234 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 3: guys who have just won Coach of the Year in 235 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 3: the last five years. 236 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: Yeah and one title. Yeah, a couple of them. Yeah. 237 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: No better place to be than Sunday Morning with Baseball 238 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: Sunday lead off, He tried to say, bringing you all 239 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: the action from some of the best teams in the country, 240 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: live stream exclusive games Sunday mornings all season long on Peacock. 241 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,359 Speaker 1: You can download the app and you can watch this program. 242 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: Get some phone calls in here. Also, I don't know 243 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: if you heard this or not, but San Francisco is 244 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: getting another super Bowl, super Bowl sixty not official, but 245 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: getting another super Bowl. And if you exactly that was 246 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: I think the collective reaction. Why and at some point 247 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: does the NFL go to London. I'll talk about that 248 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: coming up in a little bit, because I think it's 249 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: time to take the band aid off and then you're 250 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: gonna get reaction. The NFL's basically said, we've tried everything 251 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: to turn off our viewers. You know, you can get 252 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: every game, you got controversies, you got all this stuff. 253 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: You know, now we're going to YouTube. We're not going 254 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: to be you know, on Direct TV. It doesn't matter. 255 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: It doesn't Peacock. You know, one hundred million dollars for 256 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: one game, you gotta go to Pica. It doesn't matter. 257 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: Why not just pull the band aid and go We're 258 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: going to do something different here. It's like when they 259 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: went to New York. We were in New York and 260 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: you would never know there was a super Bowl San Francisco. 261 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: It's not even going to be in San Francisco. We'd 262 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: loved it last time we were out there, had a 263 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: great time, but you know, it was kind of met 264 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: with a Okay. I mean my first thought was why, yeah, Mark. 265 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 7: Besides one, where else do you think super Bowl should 266 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 7: be held? 267 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: We'll talk about this. Yeah. 268 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 5: Yeah. 269 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 3: It's almost like when you hear San Francisco, it's like, 270 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 3: oh right, it's their turn in the rotation. Yeah right, 271 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 3: it's what Phoenix, Miami, New Orleans, San Francisco, Phoenix, Yeah, 272 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 3: New Orleans, Phoenix, Miami. 273 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: NormOn, Minnesota, Minnesota. No, but you had to build a stadium. 274 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: You got to build a stadium, and then you get 275 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: a get a Super Bowl. Well, London, build a stadium. 276 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: Let's go Buffalo. Buffalo is going to be in a 277 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: mix let's go and that'll be a fun. 278 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 9: See. 279 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 3: Buffalo would be an awesome super Bowl. I know it's 280 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 3: gonna be could and everybody's going to be upset about. 281 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: But the Giants that super Bowl that they hosted, they 282 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: dodged a bullet by one day. Yeah, because the weather 283 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: could have played a really important and maybe you know 284 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: the NFL doesn't want the game to be decided or 285 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: have weather have an impact on it. 286 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: But smaller cities do it better. Feels like a T 287 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 3: shirt also had to do it better. 288 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: Indy, Indy was wonderful. Indian is great. Thought they did 289 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: a great job, fantastic. Jacksonville rugged a little bit, but 290 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, is Carolina going to get one. Tennessee's going 291 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: to get one. Nashville would probably be great, but you 292 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: got to do it well. You got to build a stadium, 293 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: all right.

And right now sixty seven percent prefer undercovered? 344 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 7: Okay? 345 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: Ironically, yeah, yeah, Well we're hearing from the Denver Nuggets 346 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 1: that nobody in the nation media cares about them. 347 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 4: Yes, Paulin, maybe we should change the whole question. What 348 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 4: how little trouble are the Nuggets in. 349 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: Trouble? Are the Nuggets in right? Either rolling or nothing? 350 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 7: Careful? 351 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 6: Flow as well, but I want to show some laves. 352 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: Lakers got to win four out of the next five. 353 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 6: Let's bring Nuggets have to win. 354 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry they have to win two the next five. 355 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: Ramona Shelburne, ESPN, NBA Insiders Senior writer, NBA Today panelist, 356 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: How much trouble are the Lakers in Ramona? 357 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 5: I think they're okay for now? Like they you know, 358 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 5: I thought they could have won Game one, probably should 359 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 5: not have. They should have won Game two and did not. Right, So, 360 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 5: how do you you know? It's one thing to give 361 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 5: your gig blown out of these games. If you're not competitive, 362 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 5: if you don't match up well with this team. I 363 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 5: think Denver looks like a better team in these two games, 364 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 5: but the Lakers are right there with them. And how 365 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 5: much of the way Denver looks is because you know 366 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 5: you're playing at altitude. The Lakers kind of hit a wall. 367 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 5: I think they're playing Lebron and Ad and some of 368 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 5: their main guys really heavy minutes early on, and I 369 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 5: thought in the in the fourth quarter last night, it 370 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 5: just looked like the Lakers hit a wall. They just 371 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 5: got They look tired. It was a lot to ask 372 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 5: Lebron to be guarding Nikola Jokic and trying to be 373 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 5: Lebron on offense. But they go back home. They haven't 374 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 5: lost at home since late March. They have, They have 375 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 5: lots of game there in a long time. They got 376 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 5: so good about that. They've got pretty much nothing out 377 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 5: of Dangelo Russell in this series. He'll probably play better 378 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 5: at home. They haven't got much from denishry Or he'll 379 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 5: probably play better at home. But I don't think they're 380 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 5: in that much trouble yet. 381 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was watching last night and Lebron's settling for 382 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: those three point shots. And this happens a lot with 383 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: older players that they will settle because it you know, 384 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: it takes a lot to get to the hoop, and 385 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: Lebron when he gets to the hoop, is that, you know, 386 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: one of them maybe the best clothes that we've ever seen. 387 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: But he keeps shooting the threes and the Nuggets wanting 388 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: to keep shooting the threes for somebody with a really 389 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: high basketball IQ. At what point does Lebron say, you 390 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: know what, maybe I shouldn't be taking these threes. He's 391 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: the greatest scorer of all time, he's nowhere near one 392 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: of the greatest shooters of all time. 393 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a good, good way to put it. He uh, 394 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 5: you know, you've seen the graphic right or the stats 395 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 5: of you know, he's what he is by quarter for 396 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 5: three pointers in the playoffs and it's it's pretty saggery, right, 397 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 5: did one or twenty and that they're in the whole playoffs. 398 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 5: And every time I see him shooting, I'm like, I'm 399 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 5: like yelling at the TV, Oh got it good? 400 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 9: What do you do? 401 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 2: You know? 402 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 5: I mean, they're they're daring him to shoot those shots. 403 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 5: That's that's what they're giving him. And you know, I 404 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 5: think he makes the change. I mean, he he will 405 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 5: try to shoot himself through some of these things. He's 406 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 5: he he's not afraid of taking those shots, but after 407 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 5: I think he is smart enough to say, Okay, they're 408 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 5: daring me to take them, we have to do something 409 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 5: else here. Anthony Davis was the same thing. I thought, 410 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 5: he hasn't been a good three point shooter the last 411 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 5: few years. He really had like and he made one 412 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 5: of them yesterday and it was like, Oh, is this 413 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 5: going to come back? Because if you remember in twenty twenty, 414 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 5: one of the biggest shots of Anthony Davis's career was 415 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 5: when he hit the three against the Nuggets and then 416 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 5: yelled out Kobe Read and that was like the very 417 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 5: defining moment for him. And I felt like when he 418 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 5: hit the first one, I was like, Oh, we're back 419 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty where he's making threes again. I mean, 420 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 5: he if he hits those shots there, it really gives 421 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 5: a different dimension to the Laker offense. But he hasn't. 422 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 5: He really hasn't hit three pointers in a couple of years. 423 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 5: So you know, they at some point you kind of 424 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 5: have to get realistic with what you're really going to 425 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 5: do offensively, and I think I think the adjustment for 426 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 5: the Lakers is to find some way to get production 427 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 5: out of some of their other good, authentive players who 428 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 5: have done things in the playoffs, who should be able 429 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 5: to do things in this series they've got. They can't 430 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 5: just act as much of Lebron and ad on both 431 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 5: ends of the court. 432 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: And also, there's so much focus on stopping or at 433 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: least containing Joker that Jamal Murray's averaging seven more points 434 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: per game in the playoffs. How much of a responsibility 435 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: is that going to be Because he looked like, you know, 436 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: the second coming at Klay Thompson last night in the 437 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. 438 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 5: He might be Jabal the second giving a play. It 439 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 5: was that an amazing stat somebody came up with last night. 440 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 5: He's got four twenty point quarters twenty point fourth quarters, 441 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 5: and that the only other that's the most in the 442 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 5: last like twenty five years. The other or I were 443 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 5: sent and Jordan's wow, pretty good. Yeah, I mean he's 444 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 5: Jamal is that heat that kind of guy. He was 445 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 5: that guy in the bubble. He we just we don't 446 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 5: think of him that way because he hasn't been an 447 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 5: All Star. He played and maybe that's where Michael Malone 448 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 5: is about about them not getting the national attention or 449 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 5: whatever it is. You know, I heard some of that. 450 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 11: Laughs. 451 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 5: I just thought that was coach talk, trying to fight 452 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 5: his team up and making sure they knew that no 453 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 5: one's respecting them and they have to earn respect. You know. 454 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 5: My second thought on that was, you'll be careful what 455 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 5: you wish for. You want all the attention, Okay, well 456 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 5: that's enjoy it all. 457 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: And I was saying that to Nuggets fans this morning, like, 458 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: you know what, it's okay, like the last three years, 459 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: we've waited for you to take the next step. San 460 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs never asked for any publicity. Their head coach 461 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 1: didn't ever, their star player didn't. All they said is 462 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: if we win a championship, you have to cover us. 463 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: You have to talk about it. And that's what I 464 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: would say to Denver. Just win yeah right, yeah. 465 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 5: I mean listen, I feel like I have done so 466 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 5: many segments on NBA today where we will react to 467 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 5: a Denver Nuggets game or highlight, and I'm pretty sure 468 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 5: my my analysis, Richard Jefferson's not all of us. We 469 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 5: all go, hey, that Nikola Yokis man? Is he good? 470 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: All right? Next topic? Next topic? 471 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I mean, we've been saying that for four years. 472 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: I also wanted to bring this up that on Monday, 473 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: Ramona reported that James Harden's potential free agency might hinge 474 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: on whether or not the Sixers brought Doc Rivers back 475 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: for another season. Well, we saw how that played out. 476 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: Are the Sixers guaranteed that James Harden is coming back 477 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: after firing Doc Rivers? 478 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 5: I don't think they're guaranteed to that, and I you know, 479 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 5: it's a it's an interesting dilemma for them because on 480 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 5: the one hand, they cannot afford to lose James Harden 481 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 5: because if he leaves, they don't have very much to 482 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 5: replace him. They don't have any of those mechanisms in 483 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 5: the salary under the salary cap to replace him, you 484 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 5: just walk out the door. And I think the Houston 485 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 5: situation is a real threat. And I think other teams, 486 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 5: maybe Phoenix are who would be looking for an offensive 487 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 5: player like that. Those are those are real threats to 488 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 5: watch with hard and he can, you know, probably make 489 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 5: the most money in Philadelphia for the longest term. But 490 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 5: Houston is they do have a significant amount of cap 491 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 5: space and they really could resign, which is a fun 492 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 5: full circle after the way he laught right, But uh, 493 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 5: you know, I think you know the way I phrased 494 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 5: it on the show, and I think this is the 495 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 5: right way to put it, is it would be hard 496 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 5: to see James coming back if Doc was still the coach. 497 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 5: Does that mean he went in and said I'm leaving 498 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 5: if Doc is here. No, it means that everybody knew 499 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 5: they didn't have a great relationship, right, that there had 500 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 5: been some you know, it was it was a Doc 501 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 5: had kind of got into James a few times trying 502 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 5: to do with this culture of accountability he has he 503 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 5: tries to have in his in his locker room and 504 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 5: always go over well right, And I think the offensive system. 505 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 5: I think James never felt quite comfortable playing a different role. 506 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 5: He was really his role is really supposed to be 507 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 5: in service to EMBIID And he talked very openly, very 508 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 5: often about having to sacophone for Joel. So I think 509 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 5: that was that's it's all of the above. Like, I 510 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 5: think James is smart enough to realize, you know, he 511 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 5: didn't have to say it like that and for people 512 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 5: to understand what his feelings were. But they still some 513 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 5: work to do to resign him. And now The question 514 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 5: is are they a better team with James Harden long term? 515 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 5: Are they do they want to commit to this embiid 516 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,719 Speaker 5: hardened marriage for the next four years because that's what 517 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 5: it would be. Yeah, and you know, or can you 518 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 5: risk letting him walk out the door? Are there things 519 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 5: you could do with sign and trades? It's you know, 520 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 5: I think Darryl morri phrased it well. He said, you know, 521 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 5: option wanted to resign James. Option too is to get 522 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 5: really creative. You know, I don't. I don't. I don't 523 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 5: know what which option is better? 524 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, Thanks for getting up, and we 525 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: appreciate your time, as always does. Is this more likely 526 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: to be a five game series with the Lakers or 527 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: a seven game series? 528 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 5: I think seven? I mean the Lake The Lakers have 529 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 5: not lost at home since late March. We have to 530 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 5: We always do this in the playoffs, where we go 531 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 5: from one game to the next. And I mean, from 532 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 5: what you've seen, what are you there? I think it 533 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 5: looks like the Lakers were in both games. They shouldn't 534 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 5: have won. Game won, they were lucky to be there. 535 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 5: Game two they should have won, and they kind of 536 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 5: blew it at the end and Jamal Murray got hot, Like, 537 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 5: that's a pretty good should have got one of those 538 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 5: games in Denver, But at some point you have to 539 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 5: hold serve at home, and they've been really good at 540 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 5: home since for two months. 541 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: Thank you, Ramona, you got a dance.

That's all I 838 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,720 Speaker 1: was trying to do. Let's see a couple of phone 839 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: calls here, Doug in North Carolina, My Doug, what's on 840 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: your mind today? 841 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 9: Well, Dan, I'm going through a little PTSD, A lot 842 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 9: of it. Actually, there's no reason you would remember this, 843 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 9: but three years ago, in one of my first phone calls, 844 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 9: I called up. I thought I was being brilliant. You 845 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 9: shot me down. I actually felt like that cameraman you 846 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 9: you yelled at yes, Ed, all right, I wanted to 847 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 9: only seat and agreed with me. So you guys just 848 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 9: brought up the issue again. I wanted to re introduce 849 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 9: my topic and see if anyone else has jumped on board. 850 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 9: I think the super Bowl location should be tied into 851 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 9: the to who wins the super Bowl. I think you say, 852 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 9: the Kansas city you won, three years from now, you 853 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 9: get to host the super Bowl. I think it should 854 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 9: be as easy as. 855 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: Bet what if the Packers win it? 856 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, have it in I think a super Bowl in 857 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 9: Lamba would be great, that's what you said three years ago. 858 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: But you have to have the infrastructure though, Doug, what 859 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,880 Speaker 1: was that they wouldn't have the infrastructure there at Lambo. 860 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 9: Well they may not have the hotels or something like that, 861 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 9: but they could easily host that in Milwaukee. They used 862 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 9: to play in Milwaukee. 863 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, now you're going to do it, 864 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,879 Speaker 1: you got to do it at Lambo. Anyways, all right, well, 865 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: thank you, Doug. I don't like the idea. 866 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 11: No. 867 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: I think the if the NFL wants to make headlines, 868 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 1: and they always want to make headlines, London, London first, 869 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: Who Bowl? I mean, just one time, do it twenty 870 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: twenty six. You had it in New York, had it 871 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. You know, we'll discuss this coming up, because 872 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 1: I do think it's one of Hey, San Francisco might 873 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 1: be getting Super Bowl sixty, no reaction, none. But if 874 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,280 Speaker 1: you say, hey, London twenty twenty six, you'll get reaction, 875 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,799 Speaker 1: You'll get coverage, and the NFL loves that final hour 876 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: on this Meet Friday, on the way
