Speaker 1: Welcome in What's Right with Nick Right Episode two thirty four.

2
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: We've hit one hundred and fifty thousand subscribers. That's exciting.

3
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys. Subscribe rate review audio digital YouTube podcast.

4
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: However you want to do it. I have keys in

5
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: my back pocket. They're stabbing me. Sorry about that. Uh

6
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: so do all that if you can one hundred and

7
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: fifty thousands, nice. We'd love to be at two hundred

8
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: thousand by football season. That is a lofty goal, probably

9
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: not a realistic goal. Maybe two hundred thousand by the

10
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: end of football season. But one hundred fifty thousands a

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: nice number, doesn't get demands a new plaque. In fact,

12
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't think you get another.

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: Plaque another million, right, it's until.

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: Million, so that plaque might just be all you know,

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: million's gonna be tough. I'm not gonna lie to you,

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: but one, yeah, I mean yeah. See. Here's the thing.

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't even know if we're on a ten year pace,

18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: because I don't I think that the fact that we've

19
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: got one hundred and fifty thousand people that like this

20
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: show enough that they subscribe to it. I think everyone

21
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: who likes this show enough to subscribe to it for

22
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: the most part, has found it. Like I feel like,

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't think there's eight hundred and

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: fifty thousand folks that are undisdiscovered. Oh to you. By

25
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: the way, I was in Philly on Sunday walking from

26
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: the casino to the Sixers game Sunday morning. Because the

27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: way it's set up, it's really cool. You got to

28
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: come with me sometime when you're out here. They have

29
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: this giant complex where they have the football stadium, the

30
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: baseball stadium, the basketball slash hockey stadium, a big beer garden,

31
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: and a.

32
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: Major All of their.

33
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: Teams play in this same you know, concrete park essentially,

34
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: and they're all within walking distance and there's a big

35
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: casino right there. So Sunday morning, your mom and I

36
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: played a little blackjack and then walked over to the game.

37
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: As we're walking over to the game, someone leaving the

38
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: casino drives by, rows their window down and goes, yo,

39
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: where's demonse. It was great, Yeah.

40
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 2: It was really cool. Appreciate all Right, we've got.

41
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: A lot, We've got a lot of a lot to

42
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: get into today. Uh so let's get to what missed

43
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: the cut. Uh, this is I mean beavas and butthead

44
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: go to the fall Guy premiere. That doesn't mean a

45
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: lot to people. To Monday's age people, my age, Beavis

46
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: and butt Head was a big part of our of

47
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: age and childhood. Nearly fifty thousand hot dogs eating at

48
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: Dollar Dog Night at City Field. Oh, by the way,

49
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 1: and by so I didn't see this story. Uh and okay,

50
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: So I saw that the Dolphins. I saw you guys say,

51
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins owner rejects a ten billion dollar offer, and I

52
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: as soon as I saw that, I was like, that

53
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: can't be right. The Dolphins are not worth ten billion dollars.

54
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: But now I'm seeing the offer was ten billion, but

55
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: it was for the Dolphins, for Formula one Miami and

56
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: for the stadium, So that makes a little more sense.

57
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: Formula one Miami is worth a massive amount in and

58
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: of itself, and so that that does make a little

59
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: more sense. But what was I about to say? I

60
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: interrupted myself. Gosh darn it, hot dogs. I oh yeah,

61
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: hot dogs, thank you, good job, great work. A week

62
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: from tonight, I'm gonna be at s Field playing in

63
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: Hank is Aria's and Jeff McNeil's charity poker event. And

64
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: you know who's going to be So I'm I'm I've

65
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: become pals with Hank Kazaria. Shout out to him. Great

66
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: sports fan. He also is the you know, famous actor

67
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: and comedian, but also probably most known to the audience

68
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: as the voice of two thirds of the characters on

69
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: the Simpsons. He's Mo, the Bartender, he was a Pooh.

70
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: He's the voice of the basically all the Simpsons regular

71
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: characters that aren't Homer, bart Marge. Hank does the voices,

72
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: but he's also been in a million things. He's the

73
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: guy that in Heat al Pacino is screaming she's got

74
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: a great ass. He's yelling that at Hank's area. Great actor.

75
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: So he and I have become buddies, and I'm at

76
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: at City Field. A week from today is his charity

77
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: poker event. Our buddy Chip Bully Joe Black's coming with

78
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 1: me to play in it. But you know who's also

79
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: gonna be there. I think I'm allowed to say, yeah, sure,

80
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to say this. It's gonna be there. Walter White,

81
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: Brian Kranz. Yeah, yeah, he's playing in the poker tournament.

82
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm super excited. That's one of my favorite actors. Of

83
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: all time, one of the most talented actors of all time.

84
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for all that. Okay, I thought of

85
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: that because of the City Field hot dog thing, because

86
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: that was at City Field. Okay, so we've got all that.

87
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: Let's get to basketball. Then. I think we do have

88
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: to have a conversation about the Twitter habits of Dion

89
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: Sanders and his sons, because I think at this point

90
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: it's a story. Uh So we'll do all that. But first,

91
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: who could have seen this coming?

92
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Demontay, Yeah, So Dallas dismantled, the Clippers went

93
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: in by thirty. After that terrible second half from the Clippers,

94
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: we finally got that vintage hardened performance. I think he

95
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: went February twelveth from the field. But Luga balled out

96
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: on a hurt knee. Your choice, take a victory lap

97
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: on a hard and trade or a hype up your

98
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: one leged Slovenian son.

99
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna do both, do a little bit of both.

100
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: So listen. Luca is a legendary playoff performer. He has

101
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: been every step of the way, and it is a

102
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: testament to what his standards are that he was averaging

103
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: thirty ten and nine up to yesterday, and people are like, man,

104
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: guys having a rough series. And by the way, he

105
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: was from an efficiency standpoint, he was not. You know,

106
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: his shooting percentage was not great. He was thirty nine

107
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: percent from the field, twenty seven percent from three. And

108
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: then last night, despite going two of eight from three,

109
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: he throws up a thirty five seven and ten. They

110
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: take control of the series, and I believe they're gonna

111
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: end up in the conference finals. With respect Oklahoma City.

112
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: I do not think they're gonna be able to handle

113
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: the MAVs. And then I think that, you know, Denver,

114
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 1: Minnesota will get too later, but that's gonna be a war.

115
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: That is going to be an incredibly tough series. And

116
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: so Dallas right now with Luca playing like this, even

117
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: though he's not one hundred percent, and you add to it, man,

118
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: Kyrie is playing the best basketball of his life and

119
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: you just have to give him credit. And so I

120
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: was on with Cowherd last night. Let me talk a

121
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: little Kyrie, then we'll do the Harden of Visceration, I suppose.

122
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: So Colin was talking about how sports media is so

123
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: different than any other entertainment media that how like music

124
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: critics or film critics or art critics. They're not really

125
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: critics these days. They're supporters that you don't really see

126
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: so much these days, like oh my god, a scathing

127
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: review like it is either stuff is either not written

128
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: or it's supportive. This is great, this is awesome, and

129
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: that's not how it always was. But that's really what

130
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: that the I can't remember the last time that there

131
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: was a big time movie critic that just ripped apart

132
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: what was, you know, a big time movie made by stars,

133
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: and that used to happen. And maybe I'm not, you know,

134
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: on Pitchfork enough, but I don't think there's a lot

135
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: of I think again, a lot of the critics in

136
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: other entertainment fields are mostly portive. And then there are

137
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: sports where if you consider what I do, what we

138
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: do to be critics, we go the other way. We

139
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: actually spend more time on the negative than the positive.

140
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: And so Colin was talking about that and I kind

141
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: of had a light bulb moment. So I'm gonna get

142
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on the spot here demand say

143
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: there's no wrong answer. H Well, I mean, I guess

144
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: there are wrong answers, because you're gonna have to guess

145
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. But there's no reason, there's no expectation

146
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: to get this right. Of all of the NBA active

147
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: NBA players, name one or two that you think consider

148
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: themselves artists, like I'm an artist at athletes active NBA

149
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: players that the like, I don't think. Let me give

150
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: you an example. I don't think Anthony Edwards has one

151
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: day in his life thought I'm an artist like.

152
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: Bro exactly right, exactly, go ahead. Yeah, So definitely definitely

153
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving, he's got to be one of them. Yes,

154
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: And then dude, you know what, probably shy Gilkers Alexander.

155
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: Oh, maybe I didn't even think about him. I thought

156
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: Kyrie and Katie that Katie's out here, like you know

157
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: what I mean, like, hey, I am I'm out here, surgical, Yes,

158
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: I am out here. And Kyrie certainly like I. And

159
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: what I said to Colin was and that quintuple clutch

160
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: layup from Game four over three people that was his masterpiece,

161
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: Like I have been practicing for twenty five years in

162
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: order to be able to do this thing that I

163
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: truly believe I might be the only human being who's

164
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: ever walked the earth who could do it like I

165
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: think that's in play. I think Kyrie Irving is the

166
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: only person who's ever lived that could have pulled off

167
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: that exact move, and it's because he's been working on it.

168
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: So what I stumbled upon talking with Colin is I

169
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: think that's why Kyrie and Katie hate how sports media works,

170
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: because they're like, we're artists, man, appreciate it, look at

171
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: what we're doing out here, look at this thing, and like,

172
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: why don't you appreciate my art? And instead you're like,

173
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, why don't you win more? Why didn't you

174
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: do this? And I just I think it is a

175
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: Colin and I didn't even mean to talk about this,

176
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: but once he said the thing about how music and

177
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: cinematic media works versus sports media, because Kyrie and Katie

178
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: certainly are the two players most critical of sports media,

179
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: of how they are discussed and the context of it,

180
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: and I just again, I'm going right, it's about like,

181
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: look at what I have practiced and perfected and appreciated,

182
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: and don't do a who was better Picasso or or Monet,

183
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: just be like they're both amazing. And so I just

184
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: find I find it really And when I say I

185
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: find it interesting, it's my own idea, I guess. So

186
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of weird to be like, I find my

187
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: own idea interesting, But I think I'm right, and it

188
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: kind of just gave me a different window into how

189
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: I look at those guys. With all that said, Kyrie's

190
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: been brilliant, been absolutely brilliant, and is locked in from

191
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: a leadership and defense standpoint in a way that I

192
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: can't remember ever him ever being. So that makes the

193
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: MAVs super dangerous, super dangerous.

194
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 2: So do you think they're the best offensive duo in basketball?

195
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: Well, Joker and probably have to hold that crown right now. Yeah,

196
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Joker and Murray have to hold

197
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: that crown, but I think Luke and Kyrie can have

198
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: a strong argument for it. And I will say I

199
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: think Joker and Murray hold it for consistency. I think apex,

200
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: Luke and Kyrie of an argument. If you're getting an

201
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: A plus Kyrie and an A plus US Luca game,

202
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: that is gonna be a pretty unstoppable offensive due But

203
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: if you're getting a plus Joker in A plus Murray, yeah,

204
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: Jok Murray and so I just I do think it's

205
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: less like I don't know, I was gonna say less

206
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: likely for both of them to be a plus at

207
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: the same time. But I don't know. They they they're

208
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: they're on the list. But now it's time talking about

209
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: James Harden exactly. So I put out some stats yesterday

210
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: that immediately got misaggregated and misquoted these basketball like guys,

211
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: I don't even care if you steal my exact screen

212
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: shot and don't give me credit for it, but don't

213
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: steal my exact screenshot, not give me credit for it,

214
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: and then misquote what the stat is on the screenshot,

215
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: like it's just the these the the the anonymous Twitter

216
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: accounts that it's just spreading missing information, just the worst.

217
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: They're so bad that when I saw an anonymous Twitter

218
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: account with a screenshot of a Darvin Ham quote where

219
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: he was like, what do you expect me to do

220
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: when one of your starters is showing the bed for

221
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: ten games? I was like, oh, well, that's obviously a

222
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: fake quote. And it took me old twenty four hours

223
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: to find out he actually said that that was a

224
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: real quote to a reporter after the season. You did

225
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: you thought it was fake?

226
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: I thought it was fake.

227
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: I was like, Ah, these idiots, I was like, this

228
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: is not a real quote. There's no chance. Darvinham said

229
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: on the record, what do you want me to do

230
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: when one of my starters is showing the bed for

231
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: ten games? I was like, these dumb fake news people, But.

232
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: It's a real quote.

233
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: It's a real quote. Okay, back to the hard and stuff.

234
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: So last night, Harden was two for twelve from the field.

235
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: That is now his tenth ten career playoff game where

236
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: he has taken at least ten shots and made two

237
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: or fewer. Okay, that breaks a tie with the late

238
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: great Clifford Robinson for most all time. After that is

239
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: Jamal Crawford with eight and Jay Crowder with eight. So

240
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: what do Cliff, Jamal and Jay all have in common?

241
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: They were never your number one option. They were always

242
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: guys who that could happen to him like hey gotta

243
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, gotta stay ready and to get hot, you

244
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: gotta stay hot or I don't even know what the

245
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: saying is, but you gotta keep shooting. Harden like the

246
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: the if you go down that list, other than Bob Coozy,

247
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: there's no number one options with more than four of

248
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: these types of games. And Bob Cosey was playing at

249
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: a time right when thirty five percent from the field

250
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: was fine. So okay, what about playoff games with at

251
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: least ten field goal attempts and three or fewer makes.

252
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: Harden now is tied with Cliff Robinson for first with

253
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: seventeen of these games. Seventeen. Now, you might see Jason

254
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: Kidden be like, oh, kids an all timer, and he is.

255
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: But kid also early in his career could not shoot

256
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: and was controlling the game from the floor and was

257
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: an excellent playoff performer. Harden's postseason resume, it's like clockwork, man,

258
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: He's just gonna have one of these games in the

259
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: worst spot imaginable, and it is. It is not surprising,

260
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: it is not deniable, and it is not defensible. Okay,

261
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: so there are I'm trying James Harden now in his

262
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: playoff career. You know what, We're just gonna go through

263
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: it real quick. This is what a podcast is for.

264
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna go year by year and show

265
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: you the and I'll be fair. I'll include the key

266
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: games when he was excellent. But and I won't even

267
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: use against him anything that happened in Okay, see, because

268
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: he was young and he didn't have the same role. Now,

269
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: was he objectively awful in those in those finals? Yes,

270
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: James Harden in those finals, the final three games two

271
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: for ten, two for ten, five for eleven in a

272
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: lopsided loss. But let's just get to Houston, and what

273
00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 1: you're going to see is a wild trend. Okay, first

274
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: postseason in Houston, he's objectively bad the opening three playoff

275
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: games to fall down three to zero, and then bounces

276
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: back a bit in Game five after being four for

277
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: twelve in a deciding Game four. In Game five when

278
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: the series is decided and the pressure is off, Okay,

279
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: let's keep going. Then next year, this is the Dame

280
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: Lillard Series twenty fourteen, where Dame hits the buzzer beating

281
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: three to walk off down three to one in a

282
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: potentially deciding game. James Harden goes five for fifteen from

283
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: the field, but they win. Now, the next game in

284
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: game six, he was pretty good. He's nine for sixteen

285
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: from the field, got to the freezer line dozen times.

286
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: What they lose, and then you're going to see it

287
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: really get going twenty fifteen, down three to two, getting

288
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: blown out by the Clippers in Round two, gets benched

289
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter because he is five of twenty

290
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: from the field. They win despite that. The very next round,

291
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: down two to Golden State after two heartbreaking losses, where

292
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: he's good in those heartbreaking losses. Twenty fifteen, coming home

293
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: for Game three, three of sixteen from the field, down

294
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: oh three, series over game by the way. Then in

295
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: game Game four, no pressure, no expectations, down three to zero,

296
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: has one of the best playoff games of his life,

297
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: dropping forty five. Now Game five, two of eleven, go

298
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: home for this season. Next year against Golden State, Round one,

299
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: opens the series with back to back seven of nineteen's

300
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: down two to one in game four to basically stay alive,

301
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: throws up a four for fifteen. The next year is

302
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 1: playing the Spurs, down three to two, Kawhi Leonard is

303
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: out for the game. You're at home, Kawhi is not

304
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: playing because he's hurt. It's twenty seventeen. You are a

305
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: big favorite in this game. He goes two for eleven

306
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: and they lose by forty points. The next year, I

307
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: mean this all happened, bro, I mean it's really really rough.

308
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: The next year, two to two against Golden State, the

309
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: best Rockets team ever sixty five wins. You're the league

310
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: MVP two to two against Golden State, you're five of

311
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: twenty one. You win despite that because Chris Paul was

312
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: so great. Now you're up three to two. This, by

313
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: the way, this James Harden performance cost Lebron James a championship,

314
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: and I'll never forgive him for it, because if he

315
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: could have just beaten the Warriors, that twenty eighteen Caps

316
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: team that's stunk, but Lebron was apex. Lebron would have

317
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: rolled over Houston. But set that aside. Up three to two,

318
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: now Chris Paul's out, you go ten of twenty four.

319
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: You then go twelve of twenty nine in a home

320
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 1: game seven. Both games you have fifteen point leads. In

321
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: that game seven, you're two of thirteen from three. The

322
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: next year, Demonse, you are playing Golden State. Kevin Durant

323
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: goes out, it's the series' is two games a piece,

324
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: and you lose games five and six. He actually played

325
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: decent in those games, to his credit. The next year,

326
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: you're in the bubble. You're playing an OKC team that

327
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: no one thought was gonna be any good. That people

328
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: when they traded Chris Paul there, they were like oh,

329
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: should he ask for a buyout? They're not even trying.

330
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: It goes to a Game seven in the bubble. In

331
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: that Game seven, you're four for fifteen. You win anyway.

332
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: The next year, I'm sorry. The next round you're down

333
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: to one to the Lakers in the bubble, the swing

334
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: game of the series. Is it gonna be a series

335
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: or not? Two for eleven? These two for elevens are

336
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: just impossible how often they've happened. Now you're a Brooklyn

337
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: net you come back from an ankle injury. Now, maybe

338
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have come back. I would argue you definitely

339
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: shouldn't have come back because in your first game back

340
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: you were one for ten in a two two two series,

341
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: and then in Game seven you were five for seventeen

342
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: in an overtime loss. Like the next year, you're in Philadelphia,

343
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: you are actually finally, wait was it this year? He

344
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: had a big no? In Philadelphia? You're two to two

345
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: with Miami. You go five of thirteen in Game six

346
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: and then four of nine in Game seven. Then next

347
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: year you're still in Philadelphia. You have two of your

348
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: best playoff games ever in this series against Boston forty

349
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: five in a Game one forty two in a game four,

350
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: and then what do you do the rest of the series?

351
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: Four for eight, then four for sixteen, and then in

352
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: a game seven loss three four eleven. And by the way,

353
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: I haven't even mentioned the turnovers when he has let

354
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: me go ahead and check real quick. In his playoff

355
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: career he has one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

356
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: eight games with eight or eight or more turnovers and

357
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: five games with nine plus. And then this year in

358
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: the key game of the series, you go.

359
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: To for twelve, you score from all that, what tell

360
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 2: me you got James Harden on your team? You're making

361
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs? Well, no, that is bention when you get there.

362
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: But you'll get there.

363
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: That No, that listen, that part is one hundred percent true.

364
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: You are making the playoffs, and it is and that

365
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: is what is so baffling about it. So and that

366
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: is the part that is so hard to wrap your

367
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: mind around, other than the moment is just too much

368
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: for him. When I say James Harden's regular season resume

369
00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: is that of an all time legend, I'm not exact aggerating.

370
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: Six times he has been first team All NBA. Okay

371
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: six times four context for that, who's the best guard

372
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: of his era demonse, it's pretty odd. Yeah, Curry has

373
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: been First Team All NBA four times. James Harden has

374
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: been First Team All NBA six times. The in James

375
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: Harden has won the league MVP once, has come in

376
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: second three times, and has six top five MVP finishes.

377
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: Steph Curry has four top five MVP finishes. Like when

378
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: I say his he has won, Harden has averaged thirty

379
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: five points a game in a season, He's won an

380
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: assist title. His regular He's in resume is unimpeachable, top

381
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: twenty all time, and every single year in their biggest

382
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: playoff game, he falls apart like clockwork. And it's just

383
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: who he is. And it's also why when the Clippers

384
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: traded for James Harden espn BPI or their analytics department

385
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: or whatever made them the favorites, the sizable favorites to

386
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: win the championship. Vegas has had loved him all year long,

387
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: and everyone just keeps pretending like you couldn't like I

388
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: saw and listen this, I'm not taking a shot here, uh,

389
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: because I actually like this guy a lot. I actually

390
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: got a chance to chat with this guy on the

391
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: phone last week for a few minutes is super nice

392
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: guy Kendrick Perkins. But Kendrick had a tweet last night that,

393
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: uh that said, Paul George and Harden are the most

394
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: unpredictable players in the league, and I just responded, I'm like,

395
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: I would argue Harden is one of the absolute most

396
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: predictable players in the league. Like anyone that is surprised

397
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: by what we saw last night, like where have you

398
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: been the last decade? And now folks that are longtime

399
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: viewers or listeners of mine might say, Nick, when first

400
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: things first had just started, weren't you one of Harden's

401
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: biggest defenders. And the answer to that is yes, absolutely,

402
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 1: Because I thought my argument for James was pretty simple.

403
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to hold the OKC time against him.

404
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: He was the sixth man, was young, and in Houston.

405
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: His big sin was you can't beat the Warriors. But

406
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: nobody could beat the Warriors. So I thought that I

407
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: was like, we don't have enough evidence to say that

408
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: this guy is anything other than a great regular season

409
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: player who he doesn't get better in the playoffs. But

410
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,239
Speaker 1: you're running up against a juggernaut. But now we have

411
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: six playoff runs of evidence, Like that's one of my

412
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: more frustrating things when people are like, oh, what changed,

413
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, they're still playing the games. It's one of

414
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: my all time the there's a tweet and I don't

415
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: delete tweets, but there's a tweet from me from twenty

416
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: eleven where I do an all time NBA Top ten

417
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: and Lebron's not in it, and people send it to

418
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: me all the time. They're like, oh, so this guy,

419
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: you used to not have him in the top ten,

420
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: but now he's the goat. I'm like, well, four championships

421
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: and nine trips to the finals can change the math

422
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,239
Speaker 1: on some of how you rank players, and so like,

423
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: I mean, like, what are you fools? So yeah, I did.

424
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: I once upon a time thought Harden's got had some

425
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: bad luck in the postseason. You run into the Warriors,

426
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: you're running to Lebron's heat with the thunder. But now,

427
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean the the jury is not out on this anymore. Okay,

428
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on.

429
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, Celtics completed the gentleman suite, took care of

430
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: business there to scare before a second. But it seems

431
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: like they might be without porzingis around two for part

432
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: of it, or maybe the full series because he's got

433
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: a cap straight. Now, we obviously know that injuries have

434
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: been an often problem with Pazingis in the past. What

435
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: do you think the Celtics is the ceiling without Porzingis.

436
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: Oh, if they can't win the title without you can.

437
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: Get past round though, they're tooled to beat the Pacers

438
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: without Porsinis, Well.

439
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: No, they wouldn't be playing the Pacers. They'd be playing

440
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: either the Magic or the Calves. Oh yeah, and so listen, Yeah,

441
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: shout out to the regular season. Shout out to the

442
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: Celtics for caring about it. Go get the one seed

443
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: and now you get to rest Magic Orlando, Magic Orlando.

444
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: The Magic Calves is gonna go seven. Those teams are

445
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna beat the hell out of each other and you

446
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: don't have to rush Chris STAPs back. You absolutely can

447
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: beat You will win next round to that. So I

448
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't play him in round two. Like if I'm wrong

449
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden the series is two to

450
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: two or something, then maybe.

451
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: But playing for the first game for the first two

452
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: and then maybe if you go down. But I don't

453
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 2: see it.

454
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: Exactly right, but I don't think that's gonna happen. And

455
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: by the way, we haven't talked about that series at all,

456
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: but hell of a play by Evan Mobley the block.

457
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: Now this is I do have to say something about

458
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: this because nobody understands just common sense. So the Cleveland Cavalier,

459
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the Orlando Magic were down two in the

460
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 1: waning seconds of that game. Do people not realize how

461
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: unless you have a wide open, uncontested dunk, shooting a

462
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: three is always the option. Like, just do the math

463
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: on this, guys. What what percent probability do you need

464
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: to have of making the two pointer to then have

465
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: going to overtime as your reward be a better way

466
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: to win than shooting a three? Honestly? Like what you

467
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: follow what I'm saying here. These teams that are down

468
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: two in the final moments and take a tough two,

469
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: it's bananas. Like what is let's just say, Calves Magic

470
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: is a coin flip in overtime a true fifty to fifty.

471
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it was, but say it was. Then

472
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: unless your two point attempt is going to be an

473
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: eighty percent likelihood, like you're taking an eighty percent chance

474
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: in order to get a fifty percent chance, which means

475
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: your your chance of winning there would be forty percent. Okay,

476
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: what is your likelihood of making a three? Right, that's

477
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: the math on it. You hit a three, you win.

478
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: So even if it's the worst shooter you have on

479
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: the court, say he shoots thirty percent from three, that

480
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: is still better than a tough two where that you

481
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: have a fifty percent chance of making, just to get

482
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: the opportunity to have a fifty chance of winning. So no,

483
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: I didn't like Franz Wagner going up against Evan Mobley,

484
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: who's drafted purely for his defense. Just like if all

485
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: of a sudden Franz Wagner makes this unbelievable play, congrats,

486
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: Now you got to go beat them for five minutes.

487
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: Let Paolo try to take the Tyrese Maxi shot. That's

488
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: a better opportunity, that's a better op It's just insane

489
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: of these teams that go for two. Now, if you

490
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: are way better than your opponent, maybe you're like, okay,

491
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: we'll take overtime. But that's not the case there. But yeah,

492
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: I think the Celtics will be fine. Now I will

493
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: to go ahead.

494
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if they do, when they win, they get

495
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 2: past them. If they end up having to play the Pacers.

496
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: How do you think they match up against them?

497
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. I think all four teams on

498
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: the other side of the bracket are still ALON because

499
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: it's Nick Sixers, which we'll get to. The winner of

500
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: that plays Pacers, Bucks and the whole NBA should be

501
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: furious with Indiana furious. I'm not saying the Bucks are

502
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: a great team. What I am saying is they have

503
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: a high ceiling. Any team that employs Giannis and Dame

504
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: theoretically has a high ceiling in theory. And you could

505
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: have ended their season in the game Yiannis and Dame

506
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: didn't play and you mailed it in Indiana. That's pathetic.

507
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: Indiana's game two days ago was embarrassing. You can end

508
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: the Bucks season without their two best plays. Can you

509
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: imagine how? And I'm not going to compare the Bucks

510
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs, So let me find a better example.

511
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: If if in the first round of the NFL playoffs,

512
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: a team was playing the Ravens and Lamar and Rokwan

513
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: Smith were out for the game but expected back the

514
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: following week, do you know how angry everyone else in

515
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: the postseason would be if you give that team if

516
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: you didn't beat them, can you. They'd be like, you've

517
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me, Like, and so now listen, maybe

518
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: Dame and Yannis don't play tonight. It seems like the

519
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: the let me check the point spread, it seems like

520
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: Vegas doesn't think they're playing because the Pacers are eight

521
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. So now maybe they'll get

522
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: another chance at it. But that was a horrific loss.

523
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: And but I think that if the Pacers do win

524
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: that round, then the winner of Nick Sixers is going

525
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: to be playing the Celtics in the conference finals. Nick

526
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: Sixers winner is gonna beat the Pacers. That's what I think.

527
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead?

528
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 2: Uh yeah. So Game six of the Game six of

529
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: Nick six Ers is back in Philly tonight. This series

530
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 2: has had a cup crazy finishes. But after the after

531
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 2: the crushing loss, do you think the Knicks will be

532
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 2: able to take back the momentum and be able to

533
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 2: be Philly.

534
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: Oh. I don't think they're going to like be emotionally

535
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: unable to win. But I do think Philly wins tonight.

536
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: I don't think it's because of like the tritus of

537
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: Game five. I just think and I'm still thinking about

538
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: going to that game.

539
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,959
Speaker 2: I have to leave.

540
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: Well it's tonight, but it's not an the tips not

541
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: till nine. So I could leave the show, pick you

542
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean, pick up your sister, do whatever

543
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: I need to do. And still I could leave for

544
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: Philliate could leave for the game at seven and get

545
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: there in time. But the problem is then the next

546
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: morning I gotta get back and all that, and I

547
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 1: don't I don't know. Also, I was thinking about bringing

548
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: your baby sister, and I don't know if that's gonna

549
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: that's a hostile environment, man.

550
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 2: Uh.

551
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: And so I'm still considering going because it's been so

552
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: much fun. If I don't go, then I should go

553
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: to Game seven in the garden, assuming that exists. But

554
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: my god, man, those those tickets are so expensive and

555
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: your mom is so funny. Man, I gotta tell you

556
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: guys this real quick. Then we'll talk Nick sixers. Your

557
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: mom a god lover this. She is so supportive of me,

558
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: and I appreciate it. She's really convinced. You know how

559
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: the Knicks have like celebrity row. She was like, they

560
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: would give you tickets for that. You just need to

561
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: ask them. I'm like they would not give me tickets

562
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: for that. It's like it's John Stewart and Chris Rock

563
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: and Ben Stiller. They're not giving She was like, well,

564
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: maybe the row right behind them. She's like, yes, they would.

565
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 2: Nick.

566
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: She was like, you need you need a PR person.

567
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: You just need to have someone called. I'm like, oh,

568
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't have a PR person and I'm not calling.

569
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: She was like, all called for. I'm like, no, babe.

570
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: What they're going to say is who and then let

571
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: me connect you with someone. And that person they are

572
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: gonna connect you with is gonna then ask for a

573
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: credit card number. They are not giving me free tickets there.

574
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: It's just not happening. She's convinced we could be going

575
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: to these Nick games for free, based off the juice

576
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: of me being me, which I really appreciate her believing,

577
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 1: but it's just not true.

578
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 2: Well like, hey, you're a lot closer now than you

579
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,959
Speaker 2: would have than you were five years ago.

580
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: Well I appreciate that that's true.

581
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 2: And I.

582
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: Do think that if we if somehow I was everything

583
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: about our life was the exact same. But we were

584
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: based in Oklahoma City. I do think I could get

585
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: free great seats. I do think when They're like the

586
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: who are the local celebrities there? I do msg it's

587
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: the Mecca. They're not giving me tickets. I think the

588
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 1: Sixers win tonight. I think Joel is a good game.

589
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,479
Speaker 1: The Sixers in a rough spot, man, because they are

590
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: really struggling when Joel's off the court. But he's not

591
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: in peak shape because of the uh Max's slack. Yeah,

592
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: but he's not in peak shape because when he was

593
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: hurt out with the knee that you know, you can't

594
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: do all the cardio stuff that you need to do.

595
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: So he's kind of working himself back into shape. MAXI

596
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: was unbelievable, though, man, I mean, I feel like that's

597
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: a little old news now because we talked about a

598
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: lot yesterday. That was an all time, all time from him.

599
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the last one.

600
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 2: Kickoff round two. The Nuggets survived a close gentlemen sweep

601
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 2: with the Lakers, obviously, But with that said, are you

602
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 2: gonna double down on fading the Nuggets Wolves here? I

603
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 2: don't know that I have made my decision on Series.

604
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: I. I I will admit I'm getting a little tired

605
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: of picking against Denver. Now. People say I picked against

606
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: them every Round last year. That's not true. I picked

607
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: them to beat Phoenix. Brew has run from this entirely.

608
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: Brew picked Phoenix to win that series for the record America.

609
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: But I did pick the Lakers to beat them in

610
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: the Conference finals, and then I just got drunk on

611
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: Heat culture and I was still mad about the Lakers

612
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: getting swept, I think, and I had the Heat beating them,

613
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: and then obviously I had the Lakers beating them there

614
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: in a row.

615
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: Honestly, don't remember you're doing that, but that's insane.

616
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: What picking the Heat to win, picking the Heat to

617
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: beat the Jimmy Butler was we were putting Jimmy Butler

618
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: in the hall, bro Jimmy, Yeah, Jimmy Butler was on

619
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:02,479
Speaker 1: a heater. And then if you remember, they stole Game

620
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: two and stole home court. I listen, I would love

621
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards to have his moment. And the Timberwolves played

622
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: them tough last year.

623
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 2: They play them close in the season during the regular season. Yeah,

624
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 2: they beat him, they beat him.

625
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna have Karl Anthony Towns guarding Jokic, which sounds ridiculous,

626
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: but it's so Ruey Ruey, Rudy, Rudy can roam and

627
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: Rudy can then come over and help. And that's gonna listen,

628
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: they have a big long, number one defense in basketball.

629
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 2: Go ahead, If there is any team in the NBA

630
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 2: that could deal with Jokic, it's gotta be the Timberwolves.

631
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 2: With that those I mean, it's.

632
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: What they were, whether they knew it or not, they

633
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: were built for it, and they they're the number one

634
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 1: defensive basketball a year long. I'm gonna make my pick

635
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: tomorrow on TV. I I I'm not. I'm not there

636
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: yet on it too. And no, it's not that, it's

637
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: that I just don't know. I don't what is the

638
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: Let me check what the series odds are. I mean,

639
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: Vegas has it minus two five to plus one sixty five,

640
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: So Vegas thinks it's like a sixty to forty series,

641
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: so you know what I mean, relatively close. What do

642
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: you oh, they're not gonna have the Pacers. I'm sorry

643
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: the Celtics odds listed yet, but hold on, let me

644
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: see what the The Celtics right now to win the

645
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: East are minus two minus five, yeah, minus two thirty

646
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: to win the East and based basically even money to

647
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 1: win the whole thing. That's unbelievable. All right, take quick break,

648
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: come back, What's Right? All right, welcome back in What's

649
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: Right with Nick? Right? Episode so two thirty four, demand

650
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 1: before we get to a new game we're playing called

651
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: Time Traveler, let's talk a little Dion Sanders.

652
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, so coach Prime is in the headlines again. He's

653
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 2: recommending a lot of his players enter the transfer portal.

654
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 2: One of his players, Xavier Smith, told the Athletic quote,

655
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: I was getting mad, tears coming to my eyes. Dion

656
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: never even tried to get to know me. End quote.

657
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 2: Then his sun should do our way to in tweeting,

658
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 2: I don't even remember him. To VH, We're gonna show

659
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 2: a tweet for those watching on YouTube and yeah, so

660
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 2: what do you what do you make of the situation

661
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: in Boulder, everything going down there?

662
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: I just think, objectively speaking, this is an awful look

663
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 1: for Prime and his kids. And I think that Dion

664
00:44:55,640 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 1: tweeting publicly reply to a guy. Uh So, Dion tweeted,

665
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 1: folks don't hate you because they Folks don't hate you

666
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: because they really don't know you. They admire you in

667
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 1: a negative way. They realize they can't be you. Think

668
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,720
Speaker 1: like you, talk like you or walk in your shoes

669
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: that bothers them. Always smile when you see them because

670
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: that makes them admire you so much more in that

671
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: negative way, like, oh, that's like a it's a little

672
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: bumper stickery, But it's isn't it. That's decent advice, Yes,

673
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: but it's fine. So somebody, somebody then replied to him,

674
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: tell your son to stop acting like here's the coldest

675
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: out there, and then put up a four and eight season.

676
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 1: He quote tweets and replies, he will be a top

677
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: five pick. Where's your son going? L O L l

678
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: O L I got time today? Okay, so that okay,

679
00:45:55,160 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 1: a little petty but whatever. So then this happened right

680
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: so then, and I want to make sure I have

681
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: this correct. So oh this somebody deleted a tweet and

682
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: then Jahim Ward wrote, uh bruh, you had thirty eight

683
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 1: yards last year. Stopped trying to downplay somebody and somebody

684
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: quote tweeted him again just anonymous dude, Oh wait, no,

685
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: hold on as a Colorado football fan, quote tweeted him.

686
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: Maybe he's it a fan or a player. No, I

687
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 1: think it's a fan. Quote tweeted that guy's stance and said, man,

688
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: go take a seat. This kid jaheim Ward who uh

689
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: was talking and Dion quote tweeted that because the guy

690
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: had eight tackles and four pass deflections and wrote, law Jesus,

691
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: like okay, again it feels a little like Dion Sanders.

692
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 1: And again there's a lot about Dion. I like a lot,

693
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: and I think there are He has good relationships and

694
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff of him that's really admirable.

695
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: And I think because of that, people have been afraid

696
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: to say what's obvious here, which is Dion, you were

697
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: born in nineteen sixty seven, Like, no.

698
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 2: I know the age is gonna come up.

699
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because you're fifty six years old, Like, you

700
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: can't be getting mocking kids on Twitter. Kids, you just can't.

701
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,919
Speaker 1: You just can't now what people would be like. Well,

702
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: then his sons can. And because Shador is a kid.

703
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 1: So Shador in response to the guy who was saying

704
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: basically his heart was broken when Dion said you shouldn't

705
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: be on the team. I don't even remember him. To

706
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: be honest, bro had to be very mid at best.

707
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 1: That's what Shdor wrote about a former teammate.

708
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 2: Go ahead, what's the point of even coming out like that?

709
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,959
Speaker 2: Like with what the kids said, Like, it's not even

710
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 2: like the kid said something I don't think. I don't

711
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 2: think that was crazy. I didn't think he called for

712
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 2: a flame in response, but a thousand correct.

713
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: But then there is also this demonte Did you see

714
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: the story about why Spencer Rattler fell in the draft?

715
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 2: No?

716
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: So okay, So let me so this is kind of

717
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: a wild thing, but it's been reported out. So Spencer Rattler,

718
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: who was one of the top picks or one of

719
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: the top recruits out of high school when he was sixteen,

720
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: was on a Netflix show produced by Lebron's people called

721
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: QB One. I never watched the show. Okay, Evidently, sixteen

722
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: year old number one high school recruit in the country,

723
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: Spencer Rattler was a bit of a dick. Turns out,

724
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: he bullied his backup quarterback, wasn't a great teammate, and

725
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: at sixteen years old kind of acted like you would

726
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: imagine a lot of sixteen years year olds who are

727
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: the number one football player in the country who have

728
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 1: a documentary crew walking around with them, might be a

729
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: little full of himself. I you know what I mean?

730
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: Who could imagine that that was the case? Okay, so,

731
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: and I even feel bad even saying that because he's sixteen.

732
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: He's sixteen. But here's why I'm saying it. Ian Rapaport

733
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: reported when Spencer Ratler was falling in the draft that

734
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: multiple teams brought up to him the Netflix series and

735
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: about how they they couldn't get it out of their

736
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: head that like, a we're gonna bring in this guy

737
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: to be our quarterback. Look at how he was, you know,

738
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: two years post puberty. I don't get it, but that

739
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: was a thing. Okay, So here's why I mentioned that, Bro,

740
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: what are you doing?

741
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 2: Should or.

742
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: You don't? Think? You are not Caleb Williams where there

743
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: is a level of doesn't no matter what the off

744
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: field detractors are, no matter how much people want to

745
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: tear down the painting of the nails or the phone

746
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: case or crying or any of that, the talent and

747
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 1: pedigree is so undeniable that you're gonna be the number

748
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 1: one pick of the draft that ain't shoud or sanders

749
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: Man now should or could be the first quarterback off

750
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,280
Speaker 1: the board. We also need to see how he plays

751
00:50:58,320 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: next year and need to see a lot of things.

752
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: And I do not think being a dick to people

753
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: online is a smart play for that position in particular. Like,

754
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: I don't think people would care at all if he

755
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: were a defensive end or a corner I really don't.

756
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: We're even a wide receiver and you're on social media

757
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: being like you suck, I'm awesome, get out of here,

758
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: You're not good enough. I think we'd be like, ah,

759
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do?

760
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

761
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 1: Like, it's just but if Spencer Ratler's draft stock can

762
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: fall around because of he was being immature when he

763
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: literally was not yet mature, I don't even think it's

764
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: being immature. If you're sixteen, it's just called being sixteen.

765
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: You have not yet matured. I just think this is

766
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: a terrible look for shure to or and I think

767
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: it has real potential negative implications. I really believe that.

768
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: And I'm not even saying it should or it shouldn't

769
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: impact his draft stock. You can make an argument if

770
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 1: you draft a player based on anything other than the

771
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: football player they are, you're making mistake. You can make

772
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: that argument. I don't know that I totally agree with that,

773
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: but you could make that argument. But I just know

774
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: the reality of it. I know the reality of the situation,

775
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: and I think this is a wild way for a

776
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:30,439
Speaker 1: potential top ten quarterback pick to act. So I think

777
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: it's a bad look for all involved personally, like a

778
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: significant bad look for them all involved.

779
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 2: All right, Demanse, let's go go back in time before

780
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 2: making those tweets. So we're gonna play time traveler. All right,

781
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 2: there are Oh this is back.

782
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: Hold on real quick, Tomnse have you so, I'm gonna

783
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 1: really make the producers, particularly I would imagine, Gabe mad

784
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: have you have you ever seen Back to the Future.

785
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 2: I've not. Me neither, I have not seen Back to

786
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 2: the Future.

787
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: You have an excuse because of your age. The producers

788
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: are not gonna believe that I've never seen any of

789
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: the Back to the Future movies. I feel like this

790
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: is such a matt Ford special Um and Gave I

791
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: would imagine as well. I just haven't seen any of them,

792
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: but I do. I'm aware of the iconography of it,

793
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: so we'll be able to play the game. But go ahead.

794
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 2: A ton of people throwing out their NBA future tickets

795
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 2: right now as teams get bounced, But those Suns and

796
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 2: Lakers to win the title tickets are not worthless. If

797
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 2: you have a time machine, which I happen to have,

798
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 2: all you have to do is send me back to

799
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 2: the perfect point in time to change the course of history.

800
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 2: To get the team back on track. I'm gonna hop

801
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 2: in the portal and then you punch in the event

802
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 2: or time that you want to send me back to.

803
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,760
Speaker 2: That's fire up the time machine. Fire enough the time machine.

804
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 2: All right? So Lebron is the goat, but another ring

805
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 2: or two wouldn't hurt. Let's help him out. What's our

806
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 2: destination last summer to trade for Kyrie twenty twenty one,

807
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 2: stopped the Rush trade twenty nineteen to stop the eighty

808
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,879
Speaker 2: trade because it would have happened eventually, Doc, right, when

809
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 2: are you sending me? Where are you sending me back to?

810
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 2: When are you?

811
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 1: Obviously we're not obviously not stopping the Anthony Davis RD.

812
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: They won the title the first year with them. Oh,

813
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: Demonse's gone. Uh. The answer is they shouldn't have traded

814
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: for us. And if they don't trade for us, maybe

815
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: they do still end up getting Kyrie. I don't know,

816
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:46,720
Speaker 1: but the that Lakers, that is a totally underrated moment.

817
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: That this Lakers team won the title in dominant fashion,

818
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: had the number one seed, and then never, you know,

819
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 1: never was challenged in the play and then the very

820
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 1: next year was awesome. The very next year was twenty

821
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: one and six, and then Lebron got hurt and when

822
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: the playoffs rolled around, Anthony Davis got hurt, and so

823
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 1: they were never whole again and at the end of

824
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: the year and then they blew the whole thing up.

825
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 1: That's the like if they had just kept going with

826
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: that defensive minded team where Lebron carries the offensive load,

827
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,720
Speaker 1: they but then they blow it up for uss blow

828
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: a season there. Last season is kind of still worn

829
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: because of the rough stuff make moves at the end,

830
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: they're still making up for it. So that's the move

831
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: like adding Kyrie, I understand, but I think that Lakers

832
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: team that won the championship should have been given an

833
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 1: opportunity to have a second playoff run with a healthy

834
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: Lebron and AD and they weren't. Just sucks go ahead.

835
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with uh. I went the Kyrie pick there,

836
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 2: But we're getting back in the tud getting back in

837
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 2: the portal. Okay, the Sons were once a team with

838
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 2: a young core in a bright future and a matter

839
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 2: of years that bright future was eclipsed by bad moves

840
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 2: and bloated contracts. But it's not too late to fix it.

841
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 2: Where are we going last summer to stop the Bule trade,

842
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 2: last year to stop the KD trade? Or twenty eighteen

843
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 2: to pick Luca over eighten?

844
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean well, I mean it's twenty eighteen to pick

845
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: Luke over eight And I'm going to try to find

846
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 1: this tweet, get Nick right Luca vacation. Let me see

847
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: if I can find it. Uh gosh darn it. Hold on,

848
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 1: get Nick right, Luca Draft one.

849
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:48,240
Speaker 2: Pick.

850
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: Uh gosh darn it. I wish I could find it.

851
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: I remember where I was. I was on vacation. Oh,

852
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: here it is. This is a tweet from January twenty first,

853
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, demanse that I had I promised fashion Bird

854
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: no tweets during vacation, but she just tweeted a picture.

855
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: So I'm breaking two to say this donct should have

856
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: gone number one. That was during the draft, Luca's draft

857
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: where he ended up going third and then was traded

858
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: to the team with the fifth pick that was not

859
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: second guessing. I'm retweeting that right now. Actually remind folks,

860
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: especially with Jake Laski, I love you, Nick, but you're

861
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: so wrong, and then a bunch of people replying with

862
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: that stupid Trump gift of him going wrong. Ryland, you

863
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: know what, let's just fry these people. Six years later,

864
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: Ryland's world. I agree with ninety nine point nine nine

865
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: percent of your opinions, but this one, no, can't pass

866
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: up on eighton Matt Straub. Yeah, total and complete bust

867
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: this guy, throw it deep CG twenty one old takes

868
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: exposed hotal on to it um and the this is uh,

869
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean this is oh And then it got retweeted

870
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: a bunch three years later. I guess because then there's

871
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: a lot of retweets from uh twenty twenty one. But yeah,

872
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean their whole frame. You had an opportunity to

873
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: draft Luca Antrich and you didn't. You don't recover from it. Sorry,

874
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: you already had Booker could add Luca. And can you

875
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: imagine how much better Devin Booker's life is if Luke

876
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: hadn't been tormenting him for a couple of years. Yeah,

877
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: you get the The answer is that's what we're doing,

878
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: all right.

879
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 2: Next, Arthur Warriors Dynasty has come to a screeching halt

880
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 2: the Warriors fans are willing to forgive that. We're willing

881
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 2: to forgive you for the Wiggans take if you help

882
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 2: after the time line out? All right, do I go

883
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty two? How Draymond's fist twenty twenty to

884
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 2: draft someone other than Wiseman twenty eighteen to make sure

885
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 2: Draymond never gets into into it with Katie. There should

886
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 2: be a twenty twelve option on here as well, Doc, right,

887
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 2: where are you sending me back to?

888
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: What would the twenty twelve option.

889
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,479
Speaker 2: Have been not drafting Draymond Green?

890
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: But oh well no, then they don't win those championship.

891
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, then they don't win them. Yeah, of course,

892
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 2: yeah they don't.

893
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: They needed him. I think Katie was gonna leave either way. Uh,

894
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: it's the obvious one is just get Draymond not to

895
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: punch Jordan Poole. Oh yeah, and just see how different

896
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:46,479
Speaker 1: last year is. That's what I would do. But here

897
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: is the and when people say draft someone other than Wiseman, like, guys,

898
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: here's I mean, here's the next ten picks after Wiseman,

899
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: LaMelo is Body's broken, Patrick Williams. You don't know who

900
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: he is Isaacacoro Okongwu for the Hawks. Killian Hayes, I

901
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: don't even know if he's still in the league. Obi

902
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Topping a good player, but not Denny Abdia, Jalen Smith,

903
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 1: Devin Vessel and then Halliburton. Now, but the thing is

904
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: that it's not really fair to say they should have

905
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: drafted Halliburton because Halliburton was not like considered a top

906
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 1: three pick in the draft, you know what I mean,

907
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 1: that's too much. Now here's what is true. And by

908
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: the way, and then Maxie also was in that draft

909
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: at twenty one. But man, the Warriors ended up with

910
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: the second pick of that draft. That draft demons. You

911
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: know who went number one, Anthony Edwards. Dude, if they

912
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: had got if they had at right after right after

913
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: going to five straight finals and winning three titles, they

914
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: have a down year because STEP's out all year and

915
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: plays out all year. If they then got Anthony freaking Edwards,

916
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they'd have never stopped, you know what I mean,

917
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: like they how good would they be?

918
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 2: Right?

919
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, but the answer is the Draymond.

920
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 2: All right, next, you predicted the Bucks are going to

921
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 2: the finals this year, but everything fell apart, well, we

922
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 2: can make sure your main America's most accurate sportscaster through

923
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 2: a bit of time travel. Should I go to last

924
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 2: summer to stop the Dame trade and keep Drew a

925
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 2: bit earlier to stop the Griffin and Doc hires entirely

926
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 2: by keeping Bud twenty twenty three to make DeMar today

927
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 2: and take a day off school to help keep the

928
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 2: heat out of the playoffs, thus preventing Giannis from ever

929
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 2: getting ever getting hurt. Versus Miami dot right, where are

930
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 2: you sending me back to?

931
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm sending you back somewhere else. Actually, I'm sending you

932
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: back to Game six twenty twenty two, second round, the

933
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum game, when Tatum had up to that point

934
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: the best game of his life to stave off elimination. Oh,

935
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 1: of course, of Game seven against Milwaukee. In that Game seven,

936
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: Grant Williams hit seven threes the Celtics couldn't miss. And

937
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: here's why the Bucks were the defending champs. Giannis was

938
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: playing amazing basketball and that Bucks team would have rocked

939
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: the Warriors in the finals and they would have won

940
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: back to back and have been a totally different story.

941
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: But they lose that Game six. They lose Game seven,

942
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And then ever since then

943
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: things and then you're not making any if you've won

944
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: two titles in three years, you're not making a trade

945
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: like they did this summer because you lost to Miami.

946
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: You're just like Yannis got hurt. So that's where I'm

947
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: sending you back to. Okay, all right, I the go ahead, Demanse.

948
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 2: No, I think we broke the timeline. Let's see if

949
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 2: we can get it back over the break.

950
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So those are the that was a

951
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 1: good game, Time Traveler, take quick break, come back and

952
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: answer some questions where I go to the TV show

953
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: What's Right? All right, welcome back in What's Driving the

954
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: Great Episode two thirty four, Demanse, Let's roll through a

955
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: few of these questions before I gotta go.

956
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 2: Producers asked, who do you have in the Kentucky Derby

957
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 2: and what would you name your horse? Uh?

958
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know who I have in the

959
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby. I'm not a I am a horse better. Okay,

960
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: that's a good photoshop. Oh, never a doubt, Yeah, that's

961
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,919
Speaker 1: what I would name my horse. Never a doubt would

962
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: be a great never and down the stretching comes never. Yeah,

963
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: but I don't study horse racing. I just I will that.

964
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 2: On the horses. The people were tiny.

965
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they have to be the jockeys.

966
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw one of them doing an interview with

967
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 2: the lady and like she put the freaking mic. It

968
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 2: was crazy. Yeah, they to horse right, yeah, exactly, all right? Next,

969
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 2: just Justin Justin Fields asked my returning kicks.

970
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: No, he's not gonna return I saw that story. He's

971
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 1: not gonna return kicks, all right.

972
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 2: Next, Joey Kindra asked what would be the best duos

973
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 2: in the NBA if you had to pair a superstar

974
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 2: thirty three and older with a twenty with a star

975
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 2: twenty five and younger. Big fan of the show Ghost Steelers.

976
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: Thirty three and older. I mean there's a few options here.

977
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: I think Steph Wimby would be pretty dynamic. I think

978
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 1: I think Steph Wimby be pretty good. Who would I pay?

979
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean Lucas twenty five, But for the spirit of

980
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: this question, I don't. I think they mean people younger

981
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: than Luca, you know what I mean? I Luca feels

982
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: like an established star. Uh Lebron and Aunt would be

983
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: pretty dynamic too. I think Steph Wimby and Lebron and

984
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 1: Aunt are my two picks for that category. Uh okay,

985
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to uh tied Dog Demandseai.

986
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 2: My teenage daughter saw someone that looked like Nick. I

987
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 2: asked what she would do? Well, what she have done

988
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 2: if it really was Nick? She says she would have

989
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 2: asked Nick to FaceTime Demons so she could say, Hi.

990
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: Well that's that set. Listen they I really need I

991
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: need more specifics than teenage and that question that's like

992
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: a nineteen year old teenage daughter that that has one connotation.

993
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: If this is like a junior high school teenage daughter

994
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: and has a different connotation. So I don't really know

995
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 1: exactly how to respond to that. Also, though, shout out

996
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: to tie Dog for the family being viewers of the

997
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 1: pot like that is always the It's one thing to

998
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: have the TV show on, It's another thing to like

999
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: have it be a A yeah exactly. I like that

1000
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 1: a lot. All right, the let's see if there's any more. Uh,

1001
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: let's go to Scott Murphy and then we'll roll.

1002
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 2: Scott Murphy asked the Celtics heat indifferently if Jimmy was

1003
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 2: playing and Is that an argument for the Heat to

1004
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 2: stop coasting in the regular season or eyeing the pan?

1005
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: Uh? I mean yeah, I mean there are certainly some

1006
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: arguments that this season for the Heat was a disaster.

1007
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: I am I'm keeping my eye on Miami.

1008
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 2: Uh.

1009
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 1: When it comes to Kevin Durant, I'm just gonna say that,

1010
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm just keeping my eye on it. I think a

1011
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: lot of those assets they didn't trade for Damian Low.

1012
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: I just wonder if they're gonna call up James Jones

1013
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: and see if Durant wants to see it fifth times

1014
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:09,959
Speaker 1: a charm as far as like really finding a home.

1015
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 1: Just something, just something to keep an eye on. All right,

1016
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: great job, Demand's a great show. I might be at
