10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: one point one to the FSR family. Huh. They kicked

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: ESPN Radio or the curb. They said, let's get a

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: real network over here. Now there are Fox Sports Radio affiliates.

13

Speaker 1: Shout out Peoria. There. We got some bds making good

Speaker 1: decisions over in that area right there. Now, Olden, great

15
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: to be here with you. I just thought about this

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: literally about a minute ago. You, my friend, are a

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: man who is unafraid to go against the grain. We'll

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: get to Victor winm bin Yama a little bit later

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: in the show. I saw a video where he had

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: a two handed block and you're the first guy I

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: thought of where you're like, hey, he's got to put

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: on some weight. I'm not sold, And so I thought

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: of that. And we've got Game two coming up here

24
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: in a couple of hours, and I'm just wondering with

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: seemingly the world saying, Oh, it's Denver, It's Denver and

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: a cakewalk. It's going to be easier than I thought.

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: Are you going the other way? Are you swimming upstream

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: on this one? Oh?

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: No, I'm not. And the funny thing about it is

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: because I try to look at everything objectively, you know,

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: I try not to, you know, use the emotional card

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: or anything else, you know, the Homer card, because you

33
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: got to look at it for what it is, pound

34
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: for pound. Denver is the better team. Now with the NBA.

35
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: Would have liked the Lakers and Boss of course they would,

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: you know, for monetary reasons, of course. But at the

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: same time, this is the NBA, and if you don't

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: come to play, yeah, things are gonna happen. You might

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: lose a game doing the regular season. But in this situation,

40
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: the Denver Nuggets are by far the better team and

41
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: they're showing it.

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I wish I could go the other way. I

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: really do. But Denver is the better team. This is

44
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: as far as I can go. The other way is

45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: I think Game two is gonna be a lot better.

46
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: I think that Jimmy Butler was passive in Game one,

47
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: only thirteen points. I think he's gonna play a lot better.

48
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: I think the team overall is gonna be a lot

49
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: more aggressive. They only had two free throw attempts in

50
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: game one. That's an NBA playoff low, not just the finals,

51
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: like all NBA playoff games. That's the lowest amount of

52
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: free throw attempts. And then you look at the role players.

53
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: Some of them just had horrible games. Max Struz couldn't

54
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: hit a field goal, Caleb Martin was bad, Duncan Robinson

55
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: was bad. I just don't think the role players can

56
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: get it worse in Game two compared to Game one.

57
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: So I think Miami's gonna play a lot better. Now.

58
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: The flip to that is Denver's probably gonna shoot from

59
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: outside a lot better. Also, they didn't shoot their threes

60
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: very well either. I think there'll be a lot more points.

61
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: Denver might come out of Game two and just hold

62
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: serve at home Olden, but I can see it being

63
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: a lot more enjoyable than Game one one.

64
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: Well, I kind of agree with you to a certain extent.

65
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: It will be a lot more enjoyable, but I think

66
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: the outcome's gonna still be the same. You know, the

67
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: stage was a lot brighter than Max Strew's and Caleb

68
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: Martin anticipated. But at the same time, let's go to

69
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: Denver side. I know, Miami, they have to play better.

70
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: They have no other choice, no other option. The Denver

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: Nuggets didn't play well technically. Jokics didn't really do anything

72
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: until the fourth quarter. He played a solid game. For

73
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: anybody else in that series, that was a great game,

74
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: that was a monumental game. But for him it was okay.

75
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: You know, he did what he had to do. You know,

76
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: he was feeding down, going inside because he saw the

77
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: mismatched smart play by him, and then when they needed

78
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: buckets at the end, he stepped up. That's what an

79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: MVP does, you know, you gauge the situation, which he's

80
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 2: really good at. KCP did not play well. Bruce Brown

81
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: didn't play really well. Rather, they didn't give what they

82
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: normally give. I should say that, yeah, you know, Christian Brown,

83
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 2: same thing, Jeff Green. So the Nuggets have too many weapons,

84
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: and that's what I'm going by, and too many experienced guys,

85
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 2: more so than the Miami Heat. Jimmy Butler played horrible.

86
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: Will he played better? I'm assuming so, But even if

87
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: he does, the Denver Nuggets are okay with that. They

88
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: are willing to let Jimmy Butler get buckets and do

89
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: his thing. They want to minimize the other guys.

90
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy is I agree with you about

91
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: Jokic for him being a two time MVP. That was

92
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: just an okay game and he went for twenty seven,

93
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: ten and fourteen, you know what I mean? Like that

94
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: he has arrived when we're like, yeah, well he was

95
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: all right, it was alright, He's at a triple double. Yeah,

96
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: it's crazy. That was his ninth of this postseason alone,

97
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: and it's it's just crazy. And I think this is

98
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: where it comes down to, is how do you defend

99
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: the guy? How do you try to slow him down?

100
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: What's the best approach? You tell me if this makes

101
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: any sense to you, now, listen, I'm not trying to

102
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: be minie. Eric Spolstra. He knows way more than I do,

103
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: and he'll probably come up with something that makes as

104
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: much sense as it can. I think what would make

105
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: sense is instead of doubling Jokic early, which they did

106
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: in Game one. He's the best passing big man of

107
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: all time and he's just gonna pick you apart, and

108
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: the role players start to get into a rhythm, they

109
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: start to get some confidence, and so I think it

110
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: makes sense. First half, a little bit into the second

111
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: single cover Yokic, he's gonna get his he's gonna score,

112
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: but you're not getting all these other guys with open

113
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: looks and getting their confidence. And then if you double

114
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: them later, you might see some of those role players

115
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: without a rhythm miss some of those open shots. You'd

116
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: like to prevent open shots as much as possible, but

117
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: you got to pick your boys in and if you

118
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: double Jokics later and mix it up, I think that

119
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: could be a good approach.

120
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: Well, I kind of agree and disagree at the same time.

121
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: The whole pick your poison thing it you know, people

122
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: tried that in the past. You know, perfect example was

123
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: the Warriors, you know, when they had Kadi that was

124
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: overkill and so it was like, Okay, who you gonna

125
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: leave open now? And so we knew and it kind

126
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: of brings me back to the first question. We knew

127
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: the Warriors what the overwhelming favorite, but yet we were

128
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 2: still watching the game in hopes that they lose or

129
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: it hopes that, you know, it doesn't get swept. So

130
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: it's stuff like that happening now with Denver, with the

131
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 2: team that they have. But you know, with that being said,

132
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: the Denver players are okay with I touched the ball

133
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: for a while. But at the same time, Mike Malone

134
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: has given everybody the free reign to do what they

135
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: need to do for the bendman of the team. Michael

136
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: Porter Junior is a perfect example of that. He came

137
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: down one time in Game one and shot a one

138
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 2: on four and a half three pointer, which he missed,

139
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: but it's still a good shot for him because he

140
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: was open. But at the same time, what it does

141
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: is it engages Miami into doing the same thing, countering,

142
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: and it gets them running in that altitude. A lot

143
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: of times it might look like a bad shot for

144
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: the Nuggets, it's actually part of the game plan to

145
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: get a team running with them, So they're not worried

146
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: about if guys haven't touched the ball for a while,

147
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: because Jokich is gonna make sure they get shots, and

148
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: they themselves are going to make sure they get shots.

149
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray, I can't remember which game it was earlier,

150
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: you know, like probably last round. He didn't play well,

151
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: he didn't shoot the ball. Well, guess what, he kept

152
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: shooting the ball and then he picked it up. And

153
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: so that's how this team has been built, and everybody

154
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: trusts each other.

155
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder. I think we've come to the end

156
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: of the line for the Miami ye. And that's the thing, Olden.

157
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: I don't it's a weird thing. I don't want to

158
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: overreact to game one, but I don't want to underreact either,

159
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like you gotta find the

160
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: middle ground right there. And I think it was Jeff

161
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: fan Gundy who pointed it out in game one, where

162
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: he's like, Denver is just so much bigger if you

163
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: just look like who's guarding who you mentioned a little

164
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: bit earlier, Aaron Gordon where he had a great first

165
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: quarter and Jokic assisted on a couple of those easy buckets.

166
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: He's just gonna put Gabe Vincent in the weight room.

167
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: You always hear is it shack that says mouse in

168
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: the house or barbecue chicken. That's what it's gonna be.

169
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: And Gabe Vincent has played well in the playoffs, but

170
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: he's got no answer for Aaron Gordon. And when Jokic

171
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: is just feeding Aaron Gordon and putting in the best position,

172
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: there's only so much you can do. I could see

173
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: Miami shooting the lights out in a game, maybe two games.

174
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: I could see Jimmy Butler going crazy in a game.

175
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: I still think it could be a six game series.

176
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: But I just don't see how Miami ends up winning

177
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And that's what they're trying to do.

178
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: They're not trying to just, hey, let's make it at

179
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: least a gentleman's sweep or a best of sixth series.

180
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: They're trying to win this thing. I just don't see

181
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: how they can.

182
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: I understand, And that's my whole thing, and that's what

183
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get people to understand. The best team

184
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: is supposed to win, period. I don't care about all

185
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: this other stuff. Well, you know, they have four undrafted players,

186
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: all that good stuff, and it's great story, great narrative,

187
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: and I'm impressed with these guys. But there's a reason

188
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: why you weren't drafted, and so at the same time,

189
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 2: you know, it's almost a hit or miss kind of

190
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: thing when with the draft anyways, we've had guys go

191
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 2: number one didn't pan out, so forget all that. It's

192
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 2: about who's ready to play. But at the end of

193
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: the day, the better players will always be the better players,

194
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: and so it doesn't matter if you're playing over your head. Well,

195
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: the better player is gonna always be better, period, And

196
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: for you to play your a game and lose it

197
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: doesn't bode well with you. You know, they took the

198
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics to seven and one, right, all because Jason

199
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: Tatum with the bad ankle and crappy ball handling and

200
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: lots and lots of miss three pointers. It took all

201
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: of that for them to win a seven game series

202
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: when they were up three zero. And so now you're

203
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: playing a smarter team, a better team, a bigger team,

204
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: a more athletic team, a more confident team. Did I

205
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: say smarter? Yeah, yeah, I.

206
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: Know you're up against it in this way. Yeah. I

207
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: hadn't thought of it until now, But I really wonder

208
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: how Game one would have gone in the fine if

209
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: Miami had gotten past Boston in a sweep or a

210
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: gentleman sweep. You know, let's say that series goes five

211
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: instead of seven. How much of a difference does it

212
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: make in Game one?

213
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: I do think it would have made a difference, absolutely right,

214
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: And we were talking about it. It's like, no matter

215
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: who came out of that series, they were done because

216
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: it was just too much physically for either team. So

217
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: now I imagine if Boston had won, right, even with

218
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: a Jason Tatum ankle, we really would have been like,

219
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: oh my god, it's a sweep. And so it's the

220
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: same thing with Miami. It doesn't matter. They just wore

221
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: each other down in the ECF to the point where

222
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 2: it didn't matter. These boys had nine days of rest. Yeah,

223
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: and this is the kind of team that needed the

224
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: rest and they wanted it, they embraced it, and they

225
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 2: not see, there's two types of teams. There's a team

226
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: that gets nine days of rest and they go party, clubbing,

227
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: all that good stuff, you know, they go on little

228
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: mini vacates. And there's a team like the Nuggets, who

229
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: took it seriously and did they job and prepare it

230
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: and not a ray to you know, show the world

231
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: what they can do.

232
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't anticipate jokicch just hitting the town eight

233
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: evenings before game one. You know what I mean. He

234
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: strikes me as a dude who's maybe playing Call of

235
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: Duty or I don't know, just something off the wall

236
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: at home. I love, yeah, hanging out watching that. That

237
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: was the story was. Jokic was pointing to his hand

238
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: after game one, and people are like, whoa is he

239
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: pointing to get a ring? And it's no, like you're saying,

240
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: he's a family man. It's something with his daughter. It's

241
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: like a song or something like that where it's a

242
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: rabbit and the rabbit is drinking out of a hand,

243
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: and so that's why he's pointing to his hand and

244
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: it's just a song that he and his daughter like.

245
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: That's all that's going on. You're right, they're probably watching

246
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: rabbit videos and just chilling. He's off his feet until

247
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: game No.

248
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: I'll give you one even better. Did you see what

249
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: Aaron Gordon just did for Jamal Murray?

250
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: What do you do?

251
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: He purchased? He purchased a necklace for him with his

252
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: initials and his number diamond studded as a thank you

253
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: for being a great teammate and a good friend. There

254
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: you go. That's come on.

255
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: And they like each other. They're the better team and

256
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: they like each other on top of it.

257
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the statement Aaron Gordon made was the most profound

258
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: to me. He said, I don't care about stats here,

259
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: I care about winning. Yeah, and I think all of

260
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: these guys are in that. Look at Ish Schmid, thirteen

261
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: teams in thirteen years and he's happy. Reggie Jackson not

262
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: getting any minutes, he's happy, DeAndre ecstatic. Yep, come on,

263
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: it's insane.

264
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, It's one of those things olden where I

265
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: think you start to follow the lead of your star player.

266
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: And Jokich is a superstar, and what you're seeing is like, Yo,

267
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: kicch is He's not like I gotta get mine, I

268
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: gotta get thirty plus points or what. He's just gonna

269
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: take what the defense gives him. He took three shots

270
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: in the first half of Game one, you know what

271
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: I mean. He didn't care. And so I think you

272
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: start to see that kind of like trickle down to

273
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: the rest of the team. And I'll give credit to

274
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: the role players for having that mentality. It's not all

275
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: because of Jokic, but Yokich is the superstar, and his

276
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: mentality sets a tone and you can see it.

277
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: He's a reluctant superstar. You know, he cares about his team,

278
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: but like he said, there's other things that are more meaningful.

279
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: But he does take pride in his job and he

280
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: handles this as such. He's gonna play like you just

281
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: mentioned with the three shots, but he wasn't mad, he

282
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: wasn't forcing shots. It's like I'm gonna get mine. I'm

283
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: looking at the scoreboard. We're up fifteen, so it's not

284
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: necessary at this moment. These guys know how to do

285
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: that and it's refreshing and I wish people would really

286
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: get on board on this instead of looking at all

287
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: these egocentric individuals that want to just jack up three

288
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: pointers and do one on one at the top of

289
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: the key and thinking that's basketball. What the Denver Nuggets

290
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: are doing is basketball, and it's really really good basketball.

291
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: No no doubt about that. We got a lot to

292
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: get to, much more hoop stuff, some NFL on the way,

293
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: some interesting stories to get to. Adam Kaplan will join

294
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: us next hour, so that'll be at what six twenty

295
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: Eastern time, and just do the math with the different

296
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: time zones six twenty Eastern type cover it up. Next man,

297
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: the carousel has taken quite the turn we will discuss.

Speaker 2: Well you don't know is for my entire life.

309
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,920

323
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: pains you'll experience in life is just packing up all

324
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: your stuff and moving to wherever you're moving. So he's

325
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: in moving mode here today. Not one of my favorite

326
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: things to.

327
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 2: Moving.

328
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: Really, it's on the short list of sucky things in

329
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: life that you have to encounter. You know, that's the

330
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: way it goes.

331
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: How about this.

332
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: I didn't plan it out this way, but there are

333
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: a couple of coaches that are packing up their things

334
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: and moving. They're making enough money where they can have

335
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: somebody else pack up their things and move it for them.

336
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: But how about this the coaching carousel in the NBA.

337
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 3: So we have.

338
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: Frank Vogel going to the Phoenix Suns, and then we

339
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: have Many Williams who got fired by the Phoenix Suns.

340
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: He goes to the Pistons. Now the money is what's

341
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: striking here, Olden. You've got Frank Vogel who signs a

342
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: five year deal. It's thirty one point two five million dollars. Okay,

343
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: and we'll circle back to the two five in a second.

344
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: And then Monty Williams six year deal seventy eight point

345
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: five million, he becomes the highest paid head coach in

346
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: NBA history. What do you make of that? Just those

347
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: two where Manny Williams out and then lands in a

348
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: cushy spot in terms of a contract, and then Frank

349
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: Vogel he's back as an NBA head coach, but it's

350
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: almost like he had to take a smaller rate, like

351
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: he it's like a hometown discount or something like that.

352
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: With Frank Vogel going over there to team up with

353
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: KD and Devin Booker in the Valley of the Sun.

354
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's insane, man, And I've always had a problem

355
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: with that. I don't have a problem with people working

356
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: and getting jobs as coaches, you know, I respect it.

357
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 2: I'm a coach. I would love to have one of

358
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: these jobs all NBA gms. I would love to have

359
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: one of these jobs. There you go, and I'm well qualified.

360
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:04,479
Speaker 2: But it's funny of me how you get fired, yeah,

361
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: and you get promoted. Yep, that's a weird concept for me.

362
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 2: You know. It's like in any other profession, you don't

363
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: get fired and get promoted, get a better job. You

364
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 2: don't get fired from the worst team to the best

365
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 2: team of the seventeenth best market to the number one

366
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: best market. Stuff. You just don't do that. Minnie Williams

367
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: is a great coach. He's a maker of man, I

368
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: get it, and he's gonna do well. There. Young team

369
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: they need somebody like Monnie Williams and he's gonna have success.

370
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 2: But seventy eight million dollars, what's Popovich word? Word? Yeah,

371
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 2: what's Steve kerrworth? So those guys saying to me.

372
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: They're not gonna hate on money getting his money, and

373
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: I know that's not what you're saying, but yeah, it's

374
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: like Many Williams just lost an elimination game against Denver

375
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: by twenty five points. The season prior elimination game at

376
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: home again against Dallas, they lose by thirty three Old day.

377
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: So Phoenix moves on and now Many Williams, the same

378
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: guy is the highest paid coach in NBA history. That

379
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: that math just doesn't add up.

380
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 2: And those kind of losses, Just to make this point,

381
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: those aren't on players, Those are coaching mistakes. Those are

382
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: those are substitutions, those are game plans. That's on coaches.

383
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 2: You know, you have to be able to have your

384
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: team rate to perform or you sit their butts down

385
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 2: and you get somebody else in there. But again, I'm

386
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 2: happy for the man, you know, because it's great you

387
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 2: know that you're able to do that. And I'm a

388
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 2: proponent of if you get fired, not if you get

389
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: bought out, but if you get fired, and the term

390
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: is used, you should have to sit out of ye Oh.

391
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: Really you would like to see like the old school

392
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: non transfer bortal days of college they.

393
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: Sit out of ye Why. I mean they've been doing

394
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: to players and college kids all these years. Why not

395
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 2: the coaches. Why do they get to always get the

396
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 2: better end of the stick. No, if you get fired

397
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: as an NBA coach, you need to sit out one

398
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 2: year because I remember like when Doc Rivers got fired

399
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: went from Orlando, he went into TV for a you

400
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 2: that's fine. I don't care if you go do television,

401
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: go do anything, but you cannot get rehired within a

402
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 2: week or two.

403
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: Wow. You know it's sort of like soccer. You get relegated,

404
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: you know.

405
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: Ooh, I love that you got soccer man, they keep

406
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: it real, they do. Man, you don't play well, you

407
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: get relegated, They say you to the ninth division.

408
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: It is strange though in the NBA, where Nick Nurse

409
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: is another example. So Nick Nurse, he won a championship

410
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: with the Raptors, but he got let go by Toronto

411
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: and he ends up in a better spot in Philadelphia. Yeah, yeah,

412
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: so it's weird. You can fa upward.

413
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: The one guy I had a problem with was Budenholzer.

414
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 2: I didn't think he deserved to get canned.

415
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: I didn't either.

416
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: There was so many circumstantial things that were going on

417
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: that he had to deal with. The team had to

418
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 2: deal with. You know, the players, they didn't play well,

419
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 2: and they'll be the first one to admit it. But

420
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: you know, he, the coach himself, went through a lot,

421
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: and I thought they could have just waited on that one. Oh,

422
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: at least wait till give him a month or so.

423
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 2: Let him grieve, you know, let him deal with his

424
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: brother's death. You know, you ain't got a five like

425
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 2: right away.

426
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it. His brother died in the first

427
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: round series when the Bucks lost to Miami, and that

428
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: was before Game four. But coached two more games after

429
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: his brother died in a car accident. Terrible.

430
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 2: I'm good on the Bucks front office, man, man.

431
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: And you look at Bud. He won seventy percent of

432
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: his games with Milwaukee championship and Milwaukee really interesting. Here

433
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: they interview Nick Nurse, and they go with Nick Nurse's

434
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: assistant and Adrian Griffin, who's former NBA player, but he's

435
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: been an assistant for fifteen years and now he gets

436
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: his shot coaching Giannis in the Milwaukee Bucks. We're gonna

437
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: circle back to that a lot, because first part of

438
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: it is can he win seventy percent of his games

439
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: over five years and a championship like Bud did? And

440
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: then also who has more success? Is it Griffin with

441
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: the Bucks or is it Nick Nurse with the Sixers

442
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: when the Bucks could have hired Nick Nurse. That's gonna

443
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: be really interesting.

444
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 2: Can I answer that?

445
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah?

446
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: What do you have Nick Nurse? Of course?

447
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think Nick will be more successful?

448
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 2: Of course, that's that's a no brainer.

449
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: Man, I know it. But that was Giannis. That's the

450
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: thing is Jon.

451
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 2: And alrighty ight up. I don't even know if we

452
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 2: have it on schedule, and not to talk about this,

453
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: but I'll bring it up anyway. You can flesh it

454
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 2: out later. Yeah, I'm still tripping on that video of

455
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 2: Janni's and you know, getting excited about when somebody asked him,

456
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 2: how about you joined the Warriors. I'm still kind of

457
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: leary on that one. I think there's a chance he

458
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: might ask for a trade.

459
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what, let's circle back to that in

460
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes, because I want to dive in.

461
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,040

518
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: So you're talking about the Jannis video where sort of

519
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: his ears perked up, his eyes got a little bit

520
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: wider about the possibility of going to the Warriors. And

521
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: that's the thing that's interesting to be like, the Warriors

522
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: reign isn't gonna last much longer. Like you might have

523
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: Steph there for a few more years, but the general

524
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: makeup that team's gonna look a lot different here very soon.

525
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: Oh it has to. And you know, we learned a

526
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: lot about the Warriors. You know, Bob Myers is out now,

527
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 2: so they got to bring somebody else in, you know,

528
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: hopefully that can you know, you know, capture Lightning in

529
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 2: a bottle again. But they have to do something with

530
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 2: Jordan Poole because the punch will live on. Yeah, but

531
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: you cannot have these guys co exis this thing, because

532
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: that will always be a narrative and everybody was trying

533
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: to make it that you know, well, the reason they

534
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: lost to the Lakers because of the punch. Now, it's

535
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 2: not the Warriors are not big. They're not a big team.

536
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 2: They lost because they needed Wiseman, you know, they needed

537
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: Dwight Howard, somebody, a big body that could bang with

538
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: the Anthony Davis or whomever. And so to me, that's

539
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: why they lost. They have to do something about Kaminga.

540
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 2: He played last year in the finals, but he couldn't

541
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: play this year in the finals. These are problems that

542
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 2: the Warriors have, you know. They have to do something

543
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: about the Draymond and Clay situation contractually, so they they

544
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: will be a changed team, you know. And so to me,

545
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: when I saw that video and Giannis was like Warriors,

546
00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 2: Warriors who Warriots? Right right, I was like, Okay, Thatt's

547
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: making me man. That perked me up a little bit

548
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,719
Speaker 2: because that would be even better than Durant.

549
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's it would be, absolutely it would be.

550
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: That's what's interesting is I wonder what the Bucks front

551
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: office thought about that video. Where you think about it,

552
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: they've made a change. They didn't just fire Budenholzer for

553
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: the heck of it. They absolutely ran it by Jannis.

554
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: And then when they were hiring their new head coach,

555
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: Adrian Griffin. They more than ran it by Jannis. They

556
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: invited Giannis over to dinner and to give them the

557
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: go ahead, like, hey, give us your input. Who do

558
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: you like? And I get it old, And I think

559
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: it's partially smart to cater to your superstar. If you're Milwaukee,

560
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: you absolutely don't want to see Yannis go anywhere else,

561
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: so you want to make sure he's happy. But at

562
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: the same time, I think you gotta find the middle

563
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: ground where he doesn't just become your GM and you're

564
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: doing everything that he wants because guess what, he might

565
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: not be the best at figuring out who the next

566
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: head coach should.

567
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: That's the best at GMing. Yes, that what happens.

568
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I think that sometimes you can take

569
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: that too far as an organization.

570
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: Definitely, And that's the point. Yeah, he gave the go ahead. Okay, Fine,

571
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: you know they were gonna fight Bud no matter what,

572
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: no matter what Yiannis said. So you bringing Adrian Griffin. Okay.

573
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 2: So now Adrian Griffin finds out that, oh Jannis gave

574
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 2: the okay, you think he's gonna be yelling at Giannis.

575
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: There's nothing he can do to Giannis is in full control,

576
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: and Giannis was in control when we saw his brother

577
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: get put on the team. That's right. I'm better than

578
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: this dude now.

579
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, even at this moment. Huh.

580
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 2: I haven't played in twenty years and I'm better than him.

581
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: I love it, man. You know. The other thing though, too,

582
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: is if you go back to the punch with Draymond

583
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: Green decking Jordan Buole a couple of things. I think

584
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: that when you hear from Steve Kerr after they lose

585
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: to the Lakers, and you hear from Draymond, hey, the

586
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: punch had something to do with our chemistry, And I

587
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: agree it had something to do with it, but you

588
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: made the better point. It's just harder for you to admit, Hey,

589
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: the Laker's just better than us right now, so you want.

590
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 3: To make it.

591
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: Well, if I didn't punch him in the face and

592
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't publicized, and then maybe it's just harder to

593
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: admit another team was just flat out better. With that

594
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: being said, I still think there was something there. And

595
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: you hear this all the time. There are fights all

596
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: the time in locker rooms. There are, yeah, but I

597
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: never saw one video of Steve Kerr getting punched by

598
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. You know what I mean, Like when we

599
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: have video of it and now we have social media,

600
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: it's such a different dynamic than when it happened back

601
00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: in the day.

602
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 2: Yes, and that was the beauty of all our fights.

603
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: It wasn't being publicized. Right, Like I said, I was

604
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 2: with the Detroit pisson too. An Isaiah punched Lambiert and

605
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 2: Isaiah subsequently broke his hand on Lambier's head and then

606
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: we were sitting playing cards afterwards, like nothing happened. But

607
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: let's go back to that punch. A couple of things happened.

608
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 2: I'll say this first. In the black community, that punch

609
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 2: was a punch with a lot behind it, not the

610
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 2: actual physical throwing of it. It's the way he did it. Okay,

611
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: he got his whole body into it, and when we

612
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 2: look at it, we're like, oh, he put everything he had.

613
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: There was a lot of anger behind that punch, Okay,

614
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: like a lot of anger because he jumped up and

615
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: punched down. And so to me, it was more than

616
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: just two getting into it. So it had to be

617
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: some other stuff brewing, which bring me to this point

618
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: from what I had found out for my sources, Apparently

619
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: Stephan Clay were already having issues with Jordan Poole and

620
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 2: they had asked Draymond to intervene. You need to talk

621
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: to the diva is how they put it. And so

622
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: to me, those were things that were going on within

623
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: the Warriors organization that was eventually became the punch.

624
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

625
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if Draymond is the guy that I

626
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: would seek out. Hey, well, you gotta have a heart

627
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: to heart.

628
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 2: But Draymond was the guy, and basically like, yo, man,

629
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 2: tell him, yo, he needs to chill because they're not

630
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 2: gonna really Jordan wasn't gonna listen to Stephan. STEP's not

631
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: that kind of guy, and neither is Clay. Drayma's gonna

632
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: come at you. Yo, man, chill. You know you need

633
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: to bring it back, Okay, you need to ease up.

634
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: And also Jordan Poole should be thinking Draymond for the

635
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: punch that got him paid well.

636
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: And then the last year, the previous year, it was

637
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: so crazy how he was really really good in the

638
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: playoffs what last season, but man, this season not so much.

639
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: It was night and day completely different. We got a

640
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: lot to do over here. We gotta get to this

641
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: right around the corner, a little bit of ball. There's

642
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a big change in college football. Would you

643
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: like to see the same thing happen in the NFL?

644
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: I'm Brian know, he's old in polonies. Keep it locked

645
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: right here on Fox Sports Radio. It smells like ball.

646
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm Brian know, he's old in polonies. Here on Fox

647
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We're coming to you live from the tirerack

648
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: dot com studios. So that's caught my eye here, Olden,

649
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: You've got the SEC, the Southeastern Conference. So what they're

650
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: gonna do next year? So this is for the twenty

651
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: twenty four season, they're eliminating divisions. No more SEC East,

652
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: no more SEC West. Finally they're gonna stick with eight

653
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: conference Schames for now, could revisit it for the twenty

654
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: five season. But the division thing, it caught my attention

655
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: and I just started thinking about it in the NFL.

656
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: Would you be up for that in the NFL if

657
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: you just had AFC NFC but no divisions, it would

658
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: change the scheduling quite a bit. But I don't know, man,

659
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: it'd be pretty interesting if they did it that way,

660
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't get the benefit if you play in

661
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: a weaker division right now, if you look at the

662
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars just popped in my head. The AFC South

663
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: is freaking brutal right now. They are the class of

664
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: that division, so that helps them out for sure. If

665
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: you look at some tougher divisions top to bottom, AFC West,

666
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, NFC East is pretty decent, right Like, you

667
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't have that uphill battle if you're one of the

668
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: lesser teams in a tougher division. Would you be open

669
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: to them eliminating divisions in the NFL?

670
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 2: Oh, I would definitely be up for that, because then

671
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 2: it will just be the top teams because a lot

672
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 2: of teams get into the playoffs based on the fact

673
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: that they want a crappy division. And by the way,

674
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: let me say this, the SEC should change their names,

675
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 2: okay to NFL Mini.

676
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, Mike, I know it's.

677
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: That whole conference is just it's an NFL hot bid,

678
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 2: that's all. It is, all NFL guys. But yeah, I

679
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 2: do like that proposition, So good for them, you know,

680
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 2: and I'm sure hopefully other schools other conferences will go

681
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: into that as well. But that's a good move for SEC.

682
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're gonna see this in the Big ten.

683
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they're doing the same thing. I can't

684
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: remember if it's this year or next year. They're eliminating divisions,

685
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: but I think it's gonna be a common deal in

686
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: college football.

687
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 2: Are they a Big ten, Big ten, Big twelve, Big nine?

688
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: They are sixteen right now or so? Yeah, there's I

689
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: get so confused with all of this. No, man, it's

690
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: too much. It's too much because it's just it's constantly changing.

691
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: You've got Colorado, they're talking about going back to the

692
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: Big twelve. They've just been hanging out. They've been friends

693
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: with benefits. I guess with the Pac twelve. Another thing

694
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: about going back to their old that's helarious. There's just

695
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: so much movement. I don't have a huge problem with it.

696
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: I just want to know what we're signing up for here,

697
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

698
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 2: I just call yourself the Big ten, and you got fifteen,

699
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: sixteen teams in this.

700
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 1: That's what it is.

701
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: Fifteen.

702
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, they would have so many different logos if they

703
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: switched every single time, they're gonna be the Big eighteam.

704
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 2: So basically, so what you're saying, they just said Okay,

705
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 2: this is we're gonna trademark this the Big ten name,

706
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 2: and that's it.

707
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: No matter, That's pretty much it. They've just stuck with that.

708
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure with that.

709
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, same thing, Big twelve they've had ten. They've had

710
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: ten for it. They had at one point the Big

711
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: Ten had twelve and the Big twelve had ten. I

712
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: don't know what year. A couple of years ago that

713
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,959
Speaker 1: was exactly the case. So yeah, it's wild. But yeah,

714
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: you think about that in the NFL pretty interesting, right

715
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: at first, I'm like, whoa, whoa. I like that you

716
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: have four divisions of four teams in each conference. I

717
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: like how it sets up. But if you just eliminated that,

718
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: think about just the race to the playoffs down the stretch.

719
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: We don't have any terrible division winners. Think about Tampa Bay.

720
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: They were eight to nine last year. You're not guaranteed

721
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: a playoff spot exactly.

722
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 2: But that's how it's supposed to be cool with that. Yeah, yeah,

723
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: and that's why I'm all for it, because now the

724
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 2: better records, the better teams will be in the playoffs,

725
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: not because you in a bad situation. You know, we've

726
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 2: seen this over the years in the NBA. You know,

727
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 2: teams with horrible records, if you put them in the

728
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference, this division, they would just be at the

729
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: bottom of the barrel. And yet they're you know, they

730
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 2: have winning records for their division, but not for the league.

731
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 2: And so I don't want I don't want to reward

732
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 2: people for bad play. That's always been my thing. I

733
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 2: don't want to reward you, you know, because you're in

734
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 2: this division. You know, like you said with Tampa Bay

735
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: eight and nine, Yeah, eight and nine should not be

736
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 2: in anybody's playoffs.

737
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you certainly shouldn't get a home playoff game

738
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: on top right. That has always been crazy to me.

739
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: I think that you could eliminate that part of it

740
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: if you wanted to keep divisions and just say, okay,

741
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: your reward for winning your division, you're a playoff team, okay,

742
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: but you shouldn't get a home playoff game on top

743
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: of that. That's insane to me. But think about that too.

744
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: Where if you kept it with AFC NFC and you

745
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: just had sixteen teams in each with no divisions, what

746
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: you could do schedule wise? While we have seventeen games

747
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: right now, who's your favorite team? Do you have one

748
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: olden the g men. Right, Okay, so let's take your Giants.

749
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: So in the NFC, what they could do for the

750
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: schedule of your seventeen games. You play all the teams

751
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: in the NFC, You play all fifteen teams in the NFC,

752
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: and then your remaining two games would be against AFC teams.

753
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 2: I love it.

754
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: I don't hate it at all.

755
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: I love it.

756
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: I really don't.

757
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 2: Reckon Alrek, who would be a lot better.

758
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not gonna be perfect because there are

759
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: some great rivalries that I don't want to see and

760
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: go away. They wouldn't go away, but you wouldn't get

761
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: those two matchups each year. So it's like, okay, I

762
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: mean you, as a Giants fan, you still get to

763
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: see him play against the Cowboys. You still see him

764
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: against Philly, you still see him against Washington. It's not

765
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: like those rivalries go away. You just don't get a

766
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: home and home every single year. I think you could

767
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: still live with that, right.

768
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 2: I'm okay with it. I'm definitely okay with it.

769
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't hate it at all. I think it could

770
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun.

771
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 2: It'll be a lot of fun, and we don't get

772
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 2: to beat up on each other as much.

773
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's true sometimes if you play in a

774
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: physical division like the Black and Blue NFC North or

775
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: something like, Yeah, it takes its toll, all right, come

776
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: it up next. The stance makes sense, but the announcement

777
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: of the stance makes zero sense. We'll explain, Oh, we

778
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 1: got so much to get to over here, We've got

779
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: an announcement that doesn't make any sense, even though the

780
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: stance does. We'll dive into that way. Are broadcasting live

781
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: from the tirac dot com studios. Tirerac dot com will

784
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: Tirerac dot com the way tire buying should be. I

785
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: will have a h an in depth question over here,

786
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: holding polonies. I read a story about putting water on

787
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: your toothbrush and how that's a bad thing to do,

788
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: and so we'll circle back to that. I'm curious if

789
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: you wet the toothbrush before the toothpaste or after the toothpaste.

790
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: That that is a key question that we will dive

791
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: into a little bit later today. But we got to

792
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: get to this business first. Business first, We're like the mullet.

793
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: You know, we got the business up front, we got

794
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: the party in the back, you know, so we'll get

795
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: to the party year momentarily. But how about this NBA

796
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: Commissioner Adam Silver, he has talked about the upcoming announcement

797
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: of the suspension for John Morant. John Morant, Memphis Grizzlies

798
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: point guard star player, was on social media again with

799
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: a gun. And so this is what Silver had to

800
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: say this week, right before the finals began. This is

801
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 1: the commission.

802
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 7: We've uncovered a fair amount of additional information. I think

803
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 7: since I was still asked about the situation, I would

804
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 7: say we probably could have brought it to a head now.

805
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 7: But he made the decision, and I believe the players

806
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 7: Association agrees with us that it would be unfair to

807
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 7: these players and these teams in the middle of the

808
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 7: series to announce the results of that investigation. And given

809
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 7: that we're, of course in the offseason. He has now

810
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 7: been suspended by the Memphis Grizzlies indefinitely, and so nothing

811
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 7: would have changed anyway in the next few weeks. It

812
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 7: seemed better to park that at the moment, at least,

813
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 7: any public announcement, and my sense now is that shortly

814
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 7: after the conclusion of the finals, we will announce the

815
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 7: outcome of that investigation.

816
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: Look, man, I get it old, and I think the

817
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: stance from the commissioner in the NBA makes sense. You

818
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: don't want to upstage the finals matchup, But I don't

819
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 1: know why you would announce that by just announcing it

820
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: and starting it off saying we've uncovered a fair amount

821
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: of information. We're just like, well, what did you uncover?

822
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: How long is it going to be suspended? So I

823
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: just think he should have said, hey, we're just being thorough,

824
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: will announce it when the investigation is complete and just

825
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: leave it at that. I think he was too detailed

826
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: in announcing, like the stance and when it will be

827
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 1: officially announced that I think it's still distracted from the finals.

828
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: The way he went about it.

829
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, per se, because the way he did it,

830
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: I thought it was good. You know, he gave him

831
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 2: a date or a certain area of time when he

832
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 2: would be announcing it, and so I think that took

833
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 2: away from them, you know, hopping on him like, hey, man,

834
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 2: tell us some more you know, follow up questions and

835
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 2: all that. That's how I'm perceiving it, and you know

836
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 2: it could be taken both ways, you know, so I thought,

837
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 2: but if announcing it would have been way worse because

838
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: then it would have been all about Ja Morant and

839
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: the suspension. We would not be talking about the Denver

840
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 2: Nuggets or the Miami Heat. And so he had to

841
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 2: look at it from that vein, and I kind of

842
00:44:58,520 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 2: agree with what he did.

843
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: So, oh, I totally agree with that. I think it's

844
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: the better stance to not announce it before the finals

845
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: or during the finals. You gotta do it afterward. So

846
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: I get that. I think the stance makes a ton

847
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: of sense. I just don't think announcing It's almost like

848
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: a movie trailer, you know what I mean, Like you're

849
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: watching a commercial where it's like, go see this movie

850
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: on June twentieth, and you're like, oh man, what's this

851
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: gonna be about. That's what Silver has done. He's teased

852
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: that a suspension will be announced soon. He's teased that

853
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: the NBA has uncovered a fair amount of additional information,

854
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: and he's also said that the NBA will punish Moran.

855
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: Although he didn't break the law, right, it's gonna be

856
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: it's not a legal standard. It's a private organization standard exactly,

857
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: which I totally understand. But I just don't know. If

858
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: you don't want the focus to be on JA and

859
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: you want it to be on the finals, I don't

860
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: know why you'd be saying all this stuff about JA

861
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: when you could have just kept it all under wraps.

862
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 2: But that's the beauty of the NBA. They are known

863
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: for being like the soap opera of Swartz. There's always

864
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 2: something going on. The NBA stays in being talked about

865
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 2: twelve months out the year, and again that's the beauty

866
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 2: of that brainchild. These people that sit in New York,

867
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: they know what they're doing. There's always something, whether it's Lebron,

868
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 2: whether it's whatever, there's always something going on. And you're

869
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 2: absolutely right, no laws were technically broken. But at the

870
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 2: same time, the NBA, ever since that whole situation with

871
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 2: Gilbert Arenaz and Javages Clintinton, it was put in place,

872
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 2: you know guns. The only thing I can say for

873
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 2: Jah Morant is that he was not on any you know,

874
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 2: team property, team facilities, so he might get away with

875
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 2: less of a suspension. But something's coming only because and

876
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 2: it's not even gonna be about the gun. It's the

877
00:46:58,440 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 2: fact that you sat with the commission.

878
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a major you say this.

879
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 2: Man, and you told them ABC and D Yep. You know,

880
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 2: I've learned my lesson. This was tough. It was a

881
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 2: mental thing. And then he used that. That's what I'm

882
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 2: upset about. He went to mental route.

883
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: He did.

884
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that are suffering, so I

885
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 2: don't want you to use it as a way to

886
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 2: get out of something. If you are suffering from mental issues,

887
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 2: then take it seriously enough to not make the same

888
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 2: mistake again. You know, you don't need to be dancing anymore.

889
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 2: You don't need to be flashing the guns and calls

890
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 2: with your buddies singing songs anymore. I'm sorry. That's not

891
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 2: a mental issue. That's an ignorance issue.

892
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right about that. And that was what he

893
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: said after the first video, was that he was dealing

894
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: with a lot of stress and and he crafted it

895
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: a different way where it's like he has to find

896
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:57,720
Speaker 1: better ways to manage his stress more efficiently. I forget

897
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,479
Speaker 1: how it exactly was worded, but he was talking about

898
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: stress and I never bought into that because I think

899
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: you just got to own your wrongdoing and say I

900
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: was an idiot, I was stupid. Leave it at that,

901
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, instead of I'm trying to find more effective

902
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: ways of dealing with stress. It's like, who deals with

903
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: stress like that? Who feels less stressed out? If you're like,

904
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: is anybody come up to you? Like man, Old and

905
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: I got the wife, the kids, I got the mortgage.

906
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: But then I just go on ig Live and flash

907
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: my my, you know my nine and I feel great,

908
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: Like no one talks like that. So I don't know, Man,

909
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that he figures it out, but I think

910
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lengthy suspension. What are you anticipating

911
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: because this is the second time in the span of

912
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: two months, and like you said, after he sat down

913
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,720
Speaker 1: with the commission and tended to indicate that he got

914
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: it and then he went out and stepped in it again,

915
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be upwards of thirty games. I

916
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a much more significant suspension than

917
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: the eight game deal he got the first time around.

918
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Memphis was trying to jump afy a train.

919
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 2: You know, they were, hey, let's suspend him because we

920
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 2: know something's coming. Because this is the second time. But

921
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 2: if the league sees that we're taking this stance, maybe

922
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 2: they'll be lenient. No, it's not gonna happen. I'm saying

923
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 2: anywhere from thirty five.

924
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: To forty really Okay, Yeah.

925
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 2: We'd add it on, you know. And so so it'll

926
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 2: be all inclusive because it's gonna be most likely half

927
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 2: the season because that's the second time, and they're gonna

928
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 2: send a strong, strong message, That's what I'm thinking. But

929
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 2: who knows. He might he might start crying again. I

930
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: don't know.

931
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought that they Look, man, Memphis suspended jow

932
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: six games the first time in the NBA. Just tacked

933
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: on two games and Jaw wasn't even healthy. He couldn't

934
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: even come back. Yeah yet he wasn't healthy. Now, Yeah,

935
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: so I don't know. There have been times where I

936
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: thought the NBA would be more heavy handed with the

937
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: suspension and they haven't been. I'm anticipating they lowered the

938
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: boom this time.

939
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, because and it's not even like I said, it's

940
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 2: not even the gun or anything else. It's the fact

941
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 2: you sat next to me. You sat next to me

942
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,240
Speaker 2: and lied to me. Yeah, you bade me your word.

943
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're insulting my intelligence now right what it is.

944
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: And I also think this too, where man, you we

945
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: talked about this with Jokic and how the team follows

946
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: the lead of the star. I think you see Memphis,

947
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: that's just an immature team and a lot of that

948
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 1: is following the lead of an immature leader, which is

949
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: John Morant. Look at Miami. Look at what they've done

950
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,760
Speaker 1: following the lead in a good way of Jimmy Butler.

951
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler is a grinder. He's one of the best

952
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 1: competitors in basketball, in sports right now. And you see

953
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: them following his lead, Jimmy Butler. And where Miami is

954
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: at right now, that's exactly where Memphis should be.

955
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 2: And for years though, it's like they got rid of

956
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 2: all these veterans, like good veterans that could help your

957
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 2: team and talk to these guys and send a message

958
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 2: to them. And I remember when the Denver situation happened

959
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 2: with John Moran. What's his Teammatevin Adams's talking to him.

960
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 2: They had a meeting. Hey guys, no going out, come on,

961
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 2: let's watch ourselves. He's trying to be a good veteran.

962
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 2: So what happened John Moran flashing the gun in the nightclub.

963
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 2: So they not listen. These young guys, this generation is like, really,

964
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 2: they've lost their way, and I don't know if they're

965
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 2: gonna get it back. The Memphis Grizzlies is one of

966
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 2: those teams. They don't have any leadership. Dylan Brooks was

967
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:50,280
Speaker 2: acting a fool. Now he's gone. You know, Jaron Jackson,

968
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 2: I don't think it's his personality, you know, and then

969
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 2: who else, Desmond Bain, I don't think he's good enough

970
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 2: to do that. So they don't have anybody. Yeah, and

971
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:04,240
Speaker 2: it's it's unfortunate. And then when your your best player

972
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 2: is acting a fool, who's really gonna go and say

973
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 2: something to him? And I've been saying this, The person

974
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 2: that needs to be grabbing him by his neck and

975
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 2: sitting him down is dancing on the court and starting

976
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 2: fights with you know, Shannon Shop And that's his father. Yeah,

977
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 2: he has gotta make up. He's gotta take a better

978
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 2: stance with his son.

979
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: No, that's a good point right there. But that's what

980
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying is, look at the teams in the finals

981
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 1: right now, Denver led by Jokic, Miami led by Jimmy Butler,

982
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 1: they are light worlds ahead in terms of maturity. I'm

983
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: not talking about on the court, because John Moran's a

984
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: fantastic player, but and he can hold his own with

985
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,359
Speaker 1: both of those guys, even though Jokic is clearly the

986
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: top player in the NBA right now. But where they're

987
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: separated is the maturity aspect, the leadership aspect. Jah isn't

988
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: half the leader or as mature as Yokich or Jimmy Butler.

989
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 2: Did you say half?

990
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,320
Speaker 1: He's not half as mature as those guys, not even.

991
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 2: An inch a fifth?

992
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: Zero too much credit? Half half is too much credit? Right, No,

993
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 1: I hear you. We'll get to Adam Kaplan coming up here.

994
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 1: Talking to NFL, I mentioned this to you. I read

995
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: this olden where if you get your toothbrush, they say

996
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: it's it's a bad thing, bad thing. Over here, they said,

997
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: this is one of the doctors says that, uh, it

998
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: weakens the bristles of the toothbrush and it's less effective

999
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 1: when cleaning your teeth. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

1000
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: Let me yeah, right, So they're saying, like before you

1001
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: put the toothpaste on, or like slight right after you

1002
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: put the toothpaste on. You're not supposed to like, run

1003
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: water on it, please, And it says it weakens the bristles.

1004
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 2: Why get a new tooth brush. You're supposed to have

1005
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 2: of a lifetime.

1006
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 1: Don't you After you brush your teeth, what do you do?

1007
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: You clean the toothbrush with water? You just throw it back.

1008
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,439
Speaker 2: And that's trying to come up with some crap. That's

1009
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 2: what I get mad about. There's always somebody trying to

1010
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 2: come with some crap. I want to say this. I do,

1011
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 2: put the toothpaste on it, and then I always I've

1012
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 2: done this since I was a kid. I run it underwater,

1013
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 2: soften it. I don't like that hard bristle.

1014
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: So you go after you put the toothpaste on there.

1015
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I did, because it's a subconscious thing.

1016
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: It turns out I bookend it olden. I put the

1017
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: water on just right before. And this makes a little sense.

1018
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,479
Speaker 1: There's another doctor that said, uh, you know it's got

1019
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 1: it dilutes it, you know, so it foams up faster

1020
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: and you gotta spit out all the stuff a little

1021
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: bit sooner. So that makes a much little sense.

1022
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 2: Crap. We keep a lot of two brushes at home.

1023
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm okay, I'm not tripping on this. You know,

1024
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 2: they we're just trying to get some money out of us.

1025
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: Man. They have not they have not convinced me that

1026
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: I can no longer run my toothbrush underwater before brushing

1027
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: my teeth, not at all. If anything, they've strengthened my

1028
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: stance of doing so, you know what I'm saying. Okay,

1029
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: We've got Adam Kaplan FSR NFL Insider around the corner.

Speaker 1: Adam Kaplan FSR NFL inside. You know, Adam, it's funny

1043
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,959
Speaker 1: with DeAndre Hopkins, wide receiver who's a free agent right now.

1044
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: I want to get your read on it because to me,

1045
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: it almost feels like he broke up with his girl

1046
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 1: and he just downloaded Tinder and he thinks he's going

1047
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: to crush it and it's like he doesn't have a

1048
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 1: whole lot of matches right now. What is his market

1049
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: looking like in your eyes at this point.

1050
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 8: So it's a couple of things that First of all,

1051
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 8: when we look at his situation, I know some people

1052
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 8: are trying to compare him to Odell Beckham junior, and

1053
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 8: they're not really the same type of player. They're roughly

1054
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 8: the same age. Hopkins is maybe a couple months older.

1055
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 8: Hopkins does turn thirty one next week, but he's not

1056
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 8: a downfield passing threat. Odell could run. Although he's been hurt,

1057
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 8: his workout was actually pretty good for clubs before he

1058
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 8: saw with Baltimore. That helped him get that big deal

1059
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 8: for one year. D hop to me is he's not

1060
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,359
Speaker 8: going to change his game. He's a possession receiver, really

1061
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:58,439
Speaker 8: exceptional at it. He's done that throughout his career. Going

1062
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 8: back to twenty thirteen. He's been terrific, but the last

1063
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,280
Speaker 8: few years have been injury marred. He had the suspension

1064
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 8: as well. There's this belief ron the league he's not

1065
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 8: the same player now he did We should note this

1066
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 8: he did hire an agent. He did not have an

1067
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 8: agent when he did the deal with the Cardinals. He

1068
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 8: actually had an advisor did actually pretty good job with it.

1069
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 8: But he just had a new agency. But the bottom

1070
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 8: line is he's not an explosive playmaker and he's not Odell.

1071
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 8: Despite all the injuries that that the Ravens were, they

1072
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 8: they knew after that workout he was going to be

1073
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 8: their guy and they're going to rely on him, Whereas

1074
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 8: I think when you look at d Hop, he's just

1075
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 8: part of it. He's part of your offense. He's not

1076
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:40,439
Speaker 8: the guy who's going to be your focal points.

1077
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh go ahead, Adam. I wanted to ask you,

1078
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 2: you know, with the Raiders, Josh McDaniel's is you know

1079
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 2: talking about he has no anxiety right now in regards

1080
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 2: to the quarterback situation. Now, is that coach talk or

1081
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 2: is he does he mean it?

1082
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 4: No?

1083
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 8: I mean when you look at Olden, when you look

1084
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 8: at this situation with Jimmy Garoppolo.

1085
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: They have the medical records, they know what happened.

1086
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 8: They know we needed a further procedure, though it was

1087
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 8: by the way, he was not really expected the believers.

1088
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: The foot was.

1089
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 8: Healed, but it required more work and they had to

1090
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 8: protect themselves. But they know that he's gonna be ready

1091
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 8: for training camp. They've let everyone know this is not

1092
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 8: a secret. Garoppol will be ready for training camp. But

1093
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 8: that's not good when you're not available for your new

1094
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 8: quarterback for this team. I know he knows the McDaniels

1095
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 8: system due to their time together with the Patriots, but

1096
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 8: he's got to get his timing down here with DeVante Adams,

1097
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 8: Hunter renfro they're tight end. They're rookie Tenan and Michael Mayer,

1098
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 8: who they're expecting a lot of. Yeah, it's just not good.

1099
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 8: It's it's like they can't get out of their own way.

1100
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 8: I mean, last year was not a very good season

1101
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 8: for the Raiders under Josh McDaniel's for his first year,

1102
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 8: and you got this situation. You're just trying to move

1103
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 8: along here and get everything going. I know they're excited

1104
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 8: about the draft that they had, but you've got this

1105
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:02,439
Speaker 8: situation hovering over their head. But yeah, he knows because

1106
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 8: they have the medical records and they have the ability

1107
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 8: to look at the scans, and they believe he's going

1108
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 8: to be ready. And look, they've got Brian Hoyer, who

1109
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 8: I'm told they try to actually sign last year and

1110
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 8: Huier wanted to stay with the Patriots. Now he's there,

1111
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 8: he'll take the first team reps. That's the way they'll

1112
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 8: do it until Garoppolo's ready.

1113
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: He's Adam Kaplan, FSR NFL insider joining us here. We

1114
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: were talking about the SEC. They're going to eliminate divisions

1115
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: next year in twenty twenty four. What would be your

1116
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: level of interest in the NFL eliminating divisions? What do

1117
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: you think the NFL's interest level would be in doing so?

1118
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 8: Don't see them doing it because, like as much as

1119
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 8: I love the NBA, remember when Oldman was playing, they

1120
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 8: probably were not they had divisions then, but remember they

1121
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 8: moved from one to eight and one day eight in

1122
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 8: each conference. It's still very exciting, but it takes away

1123
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 8: sort of the jews for the divisional victories. I don't

1124
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 8: see it in the NFL, guys, I just don't it's

1125
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 8: really big for you to win your division because the

1126
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 8: thing you don't want to take away is there's divisional

1127
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 8: robberies of Philly, like Philly in Dallas, Filly in the Giants, Raiders,

1128
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 8: Chiefs one of the best in NFL history. Now, I

1129
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 8: grew up in Philly. If you want to look at

1130
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 8: the NBA six or Celtics, it's not now. Plus the

1131
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 8: teams always have not always been good at the same time.

1132
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 8: We saw what happened this year. But yeah, it's kind

1133
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 8: of what are down the NBA. You just don't want

1134
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 8: to do that in the NFL.

1135
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I just don't see that happening.

1136
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 2: Okay, Adam, here's one. Since you know you wrote inside

1137
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 2: the Birds you're missed the Philadelphia mister Eagles, I get it.

1138
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 2: And I got to go back to this. Whatever came

1139
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 2: up about Russell Wilson to the Eagles. Yeah, yeah, how

1140
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 2: serious was that?

1141
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 6: Oh?

1142
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 2: Is this you know somebody trying to get clickbait?

1143
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 8: No, Actually, here's what happened on my reporting on this

1144
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 8: back in twenty twelve. The Eagles were actually going to

1145
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 8: draft him. They foolishly thought that he would drop to

1146
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 8: them where they were picking in the third round, the

1147
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 8: Seahawks took him, and I know they were very upset.

1148
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 8: I've talked to people were in the draft room then,

1149
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 8: and they were beside themselves. They just stated, you know,

1150
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 8: you don't know in a draft, no matter what sports

1151
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 8: you're in, you don't know what the people above you

1152
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 8: are going to do. And Eagles were primed to take him,

1153
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 8: and Seahawks beat him to it. Now, what happened last

1154
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 8: year is they were on Deshaun Watson. He was not

1155
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 8: interested coming to Philly. They were looking into Russell Wilson.

1156
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 8: He was not interested in coming to Philly. He wanted

1157
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 8: to stay out on the West Coast. He made it

1158
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 8: very clear there are they could have been a bunch

1159
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 8: of teams involved trying to get Wilson, but to be

1160
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,919
Speaker 8: honest with you, he shut the talk down through his agent,

1161
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:40,919
Speaker 8: Mark Rodgers, and he just wanted to go to Denver.

1162
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 8: Obviously looked bad last season, but I guy's got a

1163
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 8: new head, coach's got a plan, and I got to

1164
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 8: think Russell does bounce.

1165
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: Back, you know, Adam, I want to circle back to

1166
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins because it's mixed right now. There are some

1167
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: executives who think he has a decent amount to offer

1168
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: at this stage. There are some that are very skeptical.

1169
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: Where do you think he he is in terms of

1170
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: what he could bring to the table to a team

1171
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: at this point.

1172
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, again, it's a possession receiver now. Just looking at

1173
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 8: the team's buffalo is not about the cap they just

1174
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 8: did at Oliver's extension has going to do with the cap.

1175
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 8: It's cash. It's Kansas City Buffalo and three or four

1176
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 8: other teams that have interest.

1177
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: What are you willing to pay the guy? Now?

1178
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 8: Hopkins just lost nineteen point nineteen point four or five million,

1179
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 8: okay in cash that was not guaranteed. He's going to

1180
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 8: want to come as close as he can and getting

1181
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 8: that money back. And obviously he's not going to get

1182
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 8: Beckham Junior's deal around fifteen million. I've said this since

1183
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 8: he was cut when the Cardinals announced it, which was

1184
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 8: a Friday afternoon news dump, we didn't see that coming. Then,

1185
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 8: if he gets ten million in cash, I take that

1186
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 8: deal based on where he's at now. He's not the

1187
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 8: same player he once was. That's how the league sees it.

1188
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 8: And by the way, if the league saw him as

1189
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 8: a superstar still, he would have been signed a rate

1190
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 8: and got a monster offer.

1191
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing on your question.

1192
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:58,919
Speaker 8: What he's going to have to look at is what's

1193
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 8: more important at potential Super Bowl or potentially signing for

1194
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 8: a little bit more money with a worse teams that

1195
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 8: could also happen in the next week or so.

1196
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 2: All right, please Adam help me with something. I'm trying

1197
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 2: to put this thing to bet once in fall because

1198
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to wake up every morning and hearing

1199
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 2: there's a potential that Tom Brady's coming back. So what'll

1200
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 2: what do you see?

1201
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 1: All right?

1202
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 8: Just a couple of things here which you're interesting on

1203
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 8: this Brady situation. No, he was very emphatic in the

1204
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 8: interview did with Sports Illustrated dot comby's I'm playing again.

1205
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 1: He's done. But here's the thing I don't quite understand.

1206
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 8: Why is he not working till twenty twenty four for

1207
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 8: Fox doing games, which is a little bit odd to me.

1208
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: Why does he taking another year off? So that's that's

1209
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 1: that's one thing.

1210
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 8: But the fact of the matter is, and most people

1211
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 8: don't know this, but I could tell you if I'm

1212
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 8: doing reporting on this. In twenty twenty, the Raiders were

1213
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 8: going to pursue Brady. And what happened was they before

1214
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 8: he went to the Bucks, they were not comfortable with

1215
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 8: what he was asking for so much money, with some other.

1216
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: Perks and so forth, so they backed off. Then here

1217
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 1: we are.

1218
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 8: He's going to be a minority over the Raiders, very

1219
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 8: small part of it, but not play.

1220
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: He's just not He doesn't want to play.

1221
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 8: He's made it pretty clear putting that video on, this

1222
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 8: video that just came out.

1223
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what else he has to do.

1224
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 8: I've doubted him sometimes and I've been turned out to

1225
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 8: be right. But this time I'm going to accept his Hey,

1226
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 8: I'm done playing. And by the way, he can play

1227

Speaker 8: once the minority deals official, but it goes to NFL

1228
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 8: vote for him to be able to play. Three quarters

1229
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 8: of the of the ownership have to vote and pass

1230
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 8: him to play.

1231
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 1: It would be bizarre, by the way, it would be

1232
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: very weird to see that. You know, Adam, before you go,

1235
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: ask me hockey. I'm not a hockey. Yeah, all right,

1236

1249
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,840

01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 8: So Jimmy took over a draft publication. I to try

1256
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 8: to help Jimmy out when he was doing media stuff.

1257
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 8: And then all of a sudden, I see him. He's

1258
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 8: working in the NBA. And as you old and as

1262
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:55,520

1263
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 8: ridiculously amazing. I'm blown away by it. I mean, I

1264
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 8: pick against him every series. Yeah, I've been wrong, and

1265
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 8: I'm picking against him again. Obviously I knew it's right

1266
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:06,959
Speaker 8: about that one.

1267
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: I think we're going to be right about this one.

1268
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 1: But I've been wrong about at least I think, well,

1269
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 1: I've I've been wrong about everybody except the Knicks. I

1270

Speaker 2: Yeah big I guy played and all that stuff. And

1316
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 2: then when we met, you know, we were talking about hockey,

1317
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 2: and I knew the national anthem, you know, like the

1320
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 2: with the ragers in Irelanders and everything else. Then I

1321
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 2: became the hockey manager, you know, because I didn't play sports.

1322
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 2: I didn't play in high school at the time. I

1323
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 2: didn't start playing until my sophomore year. So freshman year,

1324
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 2: I'm the hockey manager. And so I was telling him

1325
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 2: these stories about me and how much I love hockey,

1326
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 2: and a friendship developed, and so he was, oh, my goodness,

1327
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:40,879
Speaker 2: this is crazy how this happened.

1328
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 1: That's funny that of all people, he mentioned that guy exactly.

1329
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 2: That's why I'm like, the world is amazing.

1330
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: That's funny.

1331
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 2: Man.

1332
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Well, you know it's just gonna get more amazing, as

1333
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 1: we invited Nick Kope to spin us around the sports

1334
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: world here. Now, first off, Nick, are you a guy?

1335
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: When do you we toothbrush before or after the toothpaste?

1336
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 1: Is what I want to know.

1337
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 3: I go after the toothpaste after it.

1338
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 1: Just like Golden Half.

1339
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 6: Yep, I go, I go out, don't. I don't need

1340
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 6: that much water. I just so just get a little

1341
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 6: bit on there and we're good to go.

1342
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: That makes sense. I go before and after. I'm crazy

1343
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: like I don't.

1344
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think there's a wrong answer here. I

1345
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,599
Speaker 6: think I think we're all good. As long as we're

1346
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 6: brushing our teeth, we're in a good spot.

1347
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:25,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1348
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 1: You don't want the guy that says I don't brush

1349
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 1: at all. So that's it.

1350
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, you brush your teeth, yes.

1351
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: And flossing that huge on flossie. I need to get

Speaker 1: Sap the Jake Berger.

1377
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 3: He got it all and just over the.

1378
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 6: Law a line drive that he went down and got

1379
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 6: a curve ball that might have been below the.

1380
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 3: Knee caps six to two.

1381
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 6: The win for the White Sox at audio courtesy of

1382
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,920

01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:26,920

1392
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:28,320

1395
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,799

1396
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 3: Guys, back to you.

1397
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: It's no good to bogie the eighteen. Not good at all,

1398
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: got a one stroke lead, and all of a sudden

1399
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 1: you're in a playoff. Not good, not good, but good stuff.

1400
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 1: Nick Cope always Hey, it's up, Brian Noan Olden Polonies

Speaker 1: radio one oh one point one in Beoria today.

1408
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 2: You know it was my Yankees beat on We're good?

1409
01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 1: What How crazy was it with Aaron Judge going through

1410
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 1: the wall last night as he made a catch.

1411
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 2: Hey, that's what we do. I'm still mad about the

1412
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 2: first game, though, I'm glad we wanted yesterday, but I'm

1413
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,639
Speaker 2: still mad that first inning was horrible.

1414
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 9: Man.

1415
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm still mad about the last two games because I

1416
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: bet the under in both games and the Dodgers went

1417
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: ballistic in the first inning a couple of days ago,

1418
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 1: and then yesterday, Olden I had it under eight and

1419
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: a half and there is a solo homer in the

1420
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: ninth to get it to six to three, where I

1421
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,680
Speaker 1: just bait. I got hooked. I got hooked by the

1422
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 1: solo shot in the ninth inn.

1423
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 2: That's why I don't bet sports.

1424
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you might be better off. You might be better

1425
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 1: off there. Yeah. As far as uh how about Adam

1426
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,600
Speaker 1: Kaplan says the NFL really not open minded when it

1427
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 1: comes to potentially eliminating divisions. And I get it. They

1428
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 1: like the structure of it. The one thing about parody

1429
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL. If you have divisions I think it

1430
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:21,600
Speaker 1: lends itself to a little more parody where you have

1431
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: that first place schedule for a team, so you play

1432
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 1: a couple of games against other first place teams. That's hard,

1433
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 1: it's hard to run the table if you're a last

1434
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 1: place team. When you play a last place schedule, you

1435
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:36,600
Speaker 1: get a couple of games against teams that finished in

1436
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 1: the basement the year before. So if you eliminate divisions,

1437
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 1: you couldn't do it the same way, so you can't

1438
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: get it perfect. But I'm just surprised that Adam said

1439
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 1: the NFL would have no interest as far as that goes.

1440
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I can see that only because there's a

1441
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,759
Speaker 2: lot of history with a lot of these teams show

1442
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 2: like the Cowboys, Giants, Cowboys, Eagles, Cowboys, Red Well no

1443
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 2: Redskins and Commanders. I gotta think about it. For me,

1444
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 2: they're still going to be the Redskins to me, no

1445
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 2: disrespect to anybody out there, but you know, you had

1446
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 2: all that history, you know, and so to me, that

1447
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:18,679
Speaker 2: makes sense having these divisions. But again, I would love

1448
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:22,480
Speaker 2: to see just the top teams make the playoffs.

1449
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you can still have the rivalries if

1450
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 1: you eliminate divisions. You know, I'm fine. I'm not going

1451
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 1: to keep me up at night. I'm cool with the divisions.

1452
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 1: But it's not like the rivalries would go away.

1453
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 2: I agree. I totally agree with you. The Ribbies won't

1454
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:43,719
Speaker 2: go away the division again. My pet peeve is people

1455
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 2: being rewarded like the eight and nine baby Buge is

1456
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 2: getting rewarded for bad play or bad record based on

1457
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 2: the fact that you're in a weak division.

1458
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 1: I know it. To get a home playoff game is insane.

1459
01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:59,200
Speaker 2: Well keep the division and say you know you have

1460
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 2: there's a certain the wins you gotta have. I don't know,

1461
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 2: I can't do it.

1462
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:07,799
Speaker 1: Or you just seed everybody you see them on record

1463
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 1: that you just do it like that.

1464
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 2: I like that one.

1465
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:15,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could easily do that all right. Coming up next,

1466
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: a man who is suspicious about a potential phenom. We'll

1467
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 1: have details for you. I'm Brian Know he's Olden Polonies.

1468
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 1: Keep it locked right here on Fox Sports Radio. I'm

1469
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 1: Brian Know he's Olden POLONIESE here on Fox Sports Radio.

1470
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 1: We're coming to you live from the tirec dot Com studios.

1471
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 1: So I saw a highlight today, Olden of your guy

1472
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 1: Victor Wembin Yama. It's hilarious timing, you know how the

1473
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 1: how life works where uh. I just saw this video

1474
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 1: and he was making a two handed block at the

1475
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:53,760
Speaker 1: at the rim, I think in the French League is

1476
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 1: very nice play, and I immediately thought of one person.

1477
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: It was you, mister Olden Poul, Who is I think

1478
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 1: the one dude not drinking the kool aid on this

1479
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 1: guy potentially being a phenom over here? Have you stuck

1480
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 1: to your guns as of right now?

1481
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 2: I am definitely sticking to my guns, and I hope

1482
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 2: people understand I'm not hating on this young man. I

1483
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:21,719
Speaker 2: wish him all the best. But in my forty plus

1484
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 2: years of basketball, I've seen quite a few players, and

1485
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 2: I think what's bothering me is the narratives that I'm

1486
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 2: hearing more than anything else. Plus I'm seeing him myself.

1487
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 2: I'm not just watching highlights. I'm actually looking at game

1488
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:40,799
Speaker 2: films from the French Division and when he plays against

1489
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 2: the better players, and I'm seeing what's happened to him.

1490
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 2: And one of the things that stood out to me

1491
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 2: was a game he played against Kenneth Loughton, who is

1492
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 2: a member of the Memphis Grizzy I think he was

1493
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:56,800
Speaker 2: like a two way player for a while and then

1494
01:16:56,840 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 2: they brought him up and he's really very heavy stout individual.

1495
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:07,720
Speaker 2: But what he did to when Banyama was so embarrassing.

1496
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 2: And I'm saying to myself, so, Kenneth Loughton is doing

1497
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 2: this to you, what do you think Joker is gonna do?

1498
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:19,360
Speaker 2: Or Embiid or Yannis or Anthony Davis. And so to me,

1499
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 2: that stood out more than anything else. And again, the

1500
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 2: videos I've seen of his games against the better players,

1501
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 2: he's over matched. He just dominated. So I don't want

1502
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 2: to watch, you know, a couple of highlights, you know, yeah,

1503
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 2: we all can put up highlight I can put up

1504
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 2: a highlight tape of me right now. That would make

1505
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:41,599
Speaker 2: teams wonder, man, should we bring this guy in for work?

1506
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:42,639
Speaker 1: Right?

1507
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 4: I know?

1508
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: It like dude perfect, never missed a shot, or you know,

1509
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:50,320
Speaker 1: it seems like that on the highlights. But you know

1510
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 1: what's interesting, it makes me think of this olden is

1511
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 1: honestly speaking, which would you say is harder to break

1512
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,760
Speaker 1: into just the NBA right now?

1513
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 3: Is it being a big man?

1514
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 1: And we see Joker, we see Yannis, we see him

1515
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 1: be The list goes on and on. Is it to

1516
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: be a big man like wm bin Yama or just

1517
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 1: a big man in general, because we know he has

1518
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: to put on a lot of weight. Or would it

1519
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 1: be a point guard and we know the depth at

1520
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 1: all these great point guards around the NBA, which you

1521
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,800
Speaker 1: think is a harder transition and to get used to.

1522
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 2: I think being a point guard. Yeah, because the point

1523
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 2: guard you have to be ready right away because you know,

1524
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 2: you're the leader and everything else. Whereas a big guy

1525
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 2: like a Way Miyama, there's the whole you gotta give

1526
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 2: him time to develop. Perfect example is James Wiseman. The

1527
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 2: Warriors of all people gave up on him. I still

1528
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:45,679
Speaker 2: don't know why. You know, this kid's barely twenty years old.

1529
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 2: How do you give up on a talent like that?

1530
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:50,840
Speaker 2: You know, you develop the talent, you don't give up

1531
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 2: on them. So the big guys have that luxury and

1532
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 2: the point guards are gods in general. No, you got

1533
01:18:59,080 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 2: to come ready to play.

1534
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 1: You know. There was something that Yannis said about Victor Wembinyama.

1535
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: He was on with Serjabaka. Serjabaka has this show How

1536
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:13,439
Speaker 1: Hungry Are You? So they're talking chef stuff and you know,

1537
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 1: hoops in life and all that type of stuff. And

1538
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 1: this is what Yannis said about wem Bin Yama.

1539
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 3: He can block shot like Rudy, but shoot like.

1540
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 1: KD blocking shots like Rudy Gobert and shoot like Kevin Durant.

1541
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: And then he closed it like this, bro crazy crazy.

1542
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: So Yiannis is a believer. He thinks that Wemby can

1543
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: be the next big thing.

1544
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 2: They have to they in the game right now. They

1545
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 2: have to do that, you know, just like when Lebron

1546
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,680
Speaker 2: Andad met him. You know, oh my god, all the

1547
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 2: accolades were going out there again. I'm okay with all that,

1548
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 2: yeh get but I'm gonna end up being right at

1549
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:55,639
Speaker 2: the end of the day. Trust me on this. I

1550
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,839
Speaker 2: know basketball. These guys are doing this stuff for whatever

1551
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 2: for you know, because I'm not trying to get knocked

1552
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 2: you know, They're gonna be labeled as haters because they

1553
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 2: current players. I'm out the game. I can be more objective,

1554
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 2: and I am being objective because, like I said, I've

1555
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 2: seen so many of his games and I've seen this

1556
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 2: movie before.

1557
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 1: Brian, So what's the official prediction? Is this like the

1558
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,720
Speaker 1: first three years he struggles more than people believed. Is

1559
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: this a career thing. Where do you put that?

1560
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 2: I think the only thing that helps him is the

1561
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 2: fact that he's with the San Antonio Spurs. If he

1562
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 2: had ended up in a different organization, it would be

1563
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 2: a lot longer, and I would be borderline bust. I'm serious,

1564
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 2: I would be thinking that because but with the Sanatoi Spurs,

1565
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:41,919
Speaker 2: he's going to have an opportunity to develop.

1566
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: Okay, might not be the best beginning, but develops and

1567
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 1: eventually gets there, but a slower start than many are anticipating.

1568
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 2: Now, he's not gonna be the greatest thing ever.

1569
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, coming up next countdown to tip off?

1570
01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:58,719
Speaker 1: What are we gonna see tonight? We compare notes around

1571
01:20:58,760 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 1: the corner?

1572
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 3: But are we in store? Four?

1573
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 1: We will compare notes? Is game two just around the corner.

1574
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:10,759
Speaker 1: We're broadcasting live from the ti rack dot com studios.

1575
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,320
Speaker 1: Tire rack dot com will help get you there, an

Speaker 1: over ten thousand recommended installers. Tire rack dot com the

1578
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 1: way tire buying should be. Okay, Game two Nuggets hosting

1579
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:28,439
Speaker 1: the heat. What are we in store for it? There

1580
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: are a couple of things I think we're in store

1581
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:33,200
Speaker 1: for here, Olden, I think you're gonna see more scoring

1582
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 1: from Yokich. He scored twenty seven points on twelve shots

1583
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 1: in Game one, very efficient. I think that he's gonna

1584
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 1: score more tonight. You give me your thumbs up on that.

1585
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 1: You think we're in store for more than twenty seven

1586
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 1: this evening?

1587
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it won't be that much more. Maybe thirty two,

1588
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 2: thirty five right around there. Yeah, I think it'll be

1589
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 2: more spread out throughout the game as opposed to mostly

1590
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 2: in the second half.

1591
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:05,840
Speaker 1: Will there'd be another triple double? He's got nine in

1592
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 1: this postseason alone.

1593
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm going with the triple double things at.

1594
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 1: It's hard to see him not with Like.

1595
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 2: When was how about this? When's the last game he

1596
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 2: didn't have one?

1597
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:19,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy.

1598
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 2: That's what we need to be asking right now.

1599
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:24,799
Speaker 1: Okay, I know we're going to see more from Jimmy

1600
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 1: Butler tonight. He's gonna score more than than thirteen points

1601
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: on fourteen shots. He was not himself in Game one.

1602
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 1: It's weird because we know Jimmy Butler has largely been

1603
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: a beast in these playoffs, but he's had a couple

1604
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 1: of games where You're like, what's he doing right now?

1605
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:45,679
Speaker 1: I think sometimes he can like, uh, he can spread

1606
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:47,559
Speaker 1: the wealth to a fault.

1607
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 2: To a fault.

1608
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:49,679
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he's got to be more agress.

1609
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 2: Totally agree. I totally agree.

1610
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:54,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, more than thirteen tonight. Though, for Jimmy, what do

1611
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: you think, what do you gauge what his stat line

1612
01:22:57,360 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 1: might look like? What do you think here?

1613
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:04,759
Speaker 2: Well, and it becomes a problem for Miami. If Jimmy

1614
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 2: gets thirty five, they're gonna get blown out, blown out.

1615
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 2: And so because now you're making you one on five,

1616
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:16,679
Speaker 2: the Nuggets are gonna be spreading it out. So Jimmy's

1617
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 2: gonna need help. You know. Cayler Martin has to play

1618
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 2: the way he did against the Celtics. You know, everybody

1619
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 2: was talking about Kyler Martin, Kyler Martin, and then that

1620
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:30,880
Speaker 2: again the lights were too bright in Game one. He

1621
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 2: and Max Strews both as well as Duncan Robinson. So

1622
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 2: you got three guys that really carried your team past

1623
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 2: the Celtics they didn't show up. Yeah, those are the

1624
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 2: guys I'm more concerned about Jimmy. Butler's gonna get his points.

1625
01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 2: He's gonna do what Jimmy Butler does. But you know,

1626
01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:52,640
Speaker 2: nobody wins a game by themselves. I used to tell

1627
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 2: people this all the time when we played, like say,

1628
01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:59,200
Speaker 2: like with Jordan, a lot of teams. You know, they

1629
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 2: were like, our main concern is the other players. We

1630
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:07,520
Speaker 2: don't care if Mike gets forty to fifty, let them

1631
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 2: and then we stop the guys we know we can

1632
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 2: stop right right, and that's it, and just limit them.

1633
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 1: That was the opposite of Miami's approach in game one,

1634
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 1: and I wonder if they do what you're talking about

1635
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: in game two and beyond, because hey, if Jokic gets

1636
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,240
Speaker 1: his he's a back to back MVP for a reason,

1637
01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: right he's, for my money, the best player in the

1638
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 1: NBA right now. But you can't allow Aaron Gordon to

1639
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 1: get all those points in the first quarter. You can't

1640
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:42,160
Speaker 1: allow the role players to get into a rhythm. And

1641
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:45,679
Speaker 1: they they were relatively held in check because they didn't

1642
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 1: shoot it well from three. But I think that you

1643
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:51,599
Speaker 1: got to live with Jokic being a scorer. I'd rather

1644
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 1: him be a scorer than a facilitator and get everybody

1645
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:58,639
Speaker 1: involved because he's such a great passer and he makes

1646
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 1: a role player like Gordon who's not this offensive weapon.

1647
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 1: But Jokic will thread the needle and put him in

1648
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 1: a great spot where it's like he's gonna finish no

1649
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 1: problem if Gabe Vincent is defending him. So I think

1650
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 1: he got a double jokicic less and make him more

1651
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 1: of a scorer than a passer.

1652
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 2: I definitely believe that. And you know it's the old

1653
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 2: saying Mike Tyson had. Everybody has a plan to they

1654
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:23,639
Speaker 2: get punched in the mouth, and so the Miami Heat

1655
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 2: had that plan. That was the game plan, but they

1656
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:30,679
Speaker 2: got punched in the mouth because they forgot one thing.

1657
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:35,559
Speaker 2: All lineup has to be different. Okay, number one, I

1658
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 2: cannot have Gay Vincent on Aaron Gordon. And number two, yeah,

1659
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 2: they forgot the Nuggets are bigger than they are. So

1660
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:46,760
Speaker 2: the plan went out the window because the starting five

1661
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 2: that they had out there on the court, they thought

1662
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 2: it was still the Boston Celtics. Yeah, it's like, but

1663
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,479
Speaker 2: now if you make the change that you need to make,

1664
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 2: put a bigger body on Aaron Gordon. What's Aaron Gordon

1665
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 2: gunna do. He's gonna pull you outside now, mm hmm.

1666
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 2: So advantage Nuggets.

1667
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna get some open shots. They're gonna consistently

1668
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 1: get open shots in the series. Yes, I just think

1669
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:11,960
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a higher scoring game, Olden. I

1670
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 1: look at Game one where there was a little bit,

1671
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of Denver rust after nine days off,

1672
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,759
Speaker 1: they didn't shoot it well. From three. You talked about

1673
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 1: some of the role players of Miami where the stage

1674
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 1: is bigger, the lights are brighter. Right, these are the

1675
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 1: NBA Finals and they just had this dogfight of a

1676
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 1: seven game series against Boston. So I think that you know,

1677
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:39,760
Speaker 1: in Miami plays better when they are significantly you know,

1678
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 1: counted out, when their backs are against the wall, that

1679
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 1: type of thing, when they're in that underdog role. Man,

1680
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 1: they are absolutely in a mega underdog role here and

1681
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:51,880
Speaker 1: being down one nothing in the series, I think Miami

1682
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 1: plays a whole lot better. I think we see a

1683
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 1: lot more shot making tonight than we did in Game one.

1684
01:26:57,360 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a higher scoring game. If you're looking

1685
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:02,559
Speaker 1: at the gambling line over here, old and the total

1686
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,520
Speaker 1: is two sixteen and a half, it's been steadily climbing.

1687
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:07,640
Speaker 1: I still like the over in this one. I think

1688
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,639
Speaker 1: there are gonna be a lot more shots being made.

1689
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:13,840
Speaker 2: Well, I'll leave the gambling aspect to you. But I

1690
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 2: do believe one of the things that I have. Yes,

1691
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:19,599
Speaker 2: you know, they've been counted out and they bounced back

1692
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:23,919
Speaker 2: from all these you know, like with Milwaukee, Well, Jannis

1693
01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 2: got hurt and when he came back, they were still

1694
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 2: in disarray. Because again we spoke about this earlier. I

1695
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 2: don't think Butenholzer was in the right frame of mind

1696
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 2: to be there, you know, as a coach, with what

1697
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:39,479
Speaker 2: happened to him personally, you know, So again, condolences to

1698
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,919
Speaker 2: him on that. I just don't think. And the Milwaukee

1699
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 2: Bucks are built differently. You know, Yannis wants to stand

1700
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 2: outside and shoot three pointers. I'm letting him. And then

1701
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, what happened with them is that

1702
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 2: everybody thought they could carry the load themselves. Then they

1703
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 2: went into Boston and won the first two games in Boston.

1704
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 2: Because you're playing a team that's not the brightest, you know,

1705
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 2: call the Svader Spade. They're not the brightest team in basketball.

1706
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 2: Right after my second turnover, if I'm jailing Brown, I'm

1707
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 2: not putting the ball down with my left hand anymore, right,

1708
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:21,759
Speaker 2: I just got to make these corrections and these changes

1709
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:22,599
Speaker 2: for my team.

1710
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,160
Speaker 1: What did stan Van say where it's like if you

1711
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:28,559
Speaker 1: get Jalen going to his left. I can't remember exactly

1712
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: how he said it, but he's like, that could be

1713
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:31,160
Speaker 1: good for you.

1714
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:36,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jailing Brown is the only player that could be

1715
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 2: good for both teams. Yeah. Oh, he could be bad

1716
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 2: for both teams. So either way he can he determines

1717
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:47,680
Speaker 2: the outcome of the game for both teams. How is

1718
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 2: that possible for a guy to be like that? That's

1719
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 2: the way to me.

1720
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:55,519
Speaker 1: Here's something funny. This goes back to the Eastern Conference

1721
01:28:55,560 --> 01:29:00,160
Speaker 1: Finals where we're talking about Boston against Miami and Jimmy

1722
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:03,759
Speaker 1: Butler got a funny DM, got a great direct message

1723
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:06,920
Speaker 1: from a fan and listen to this. Maybe it needs

1724
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 1: another DM now that the NBA Finals are here, but

1725
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 1: here we go, we revert back to the Eastern Conference Finals. Now, Jimmy,

1726
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:14,559
Speaker 1: I don't usually do this.

1727
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:17,920
Speaker 2: I don't go in people's DM, celebrity dms, you know,

1728
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:19,639
Speaker 2: people that are higher up.

1729
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:38,639
Speaker 1: In big So Jimmy put out a video of him

1730
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,759
Speaker 1: reacting to that and just kind of laughing and nodding

1731
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 1: his head like yeah, we'll get it done. And they did.

1732
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:48,559
Speaker 1: So that's the thing is is there an overreaction? I

1733
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:51,840
Speaker 1: think there is. After Game one, Miami did not play

1734
01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:55,280
Speaker 1: well at all, but only two attempted free throws. That's

1735
01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:59,400
Speaker 1: an NBA playoff low. Think about that. All these NBA

1736
01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:03,479
Speaker 1: playoff game that's the lowest amount of free throw attempts. Ever,

1737
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:06,200
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a much more aggressive Miami

1738
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 1: Heat team. And although I think Denver's gonna win the series,

1739
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:12,519
Speaker 1: I just do not see it being the cakewalk that

1740
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:15,040
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying it's gonna be. I

1741
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 1: just think Miami is too gritty for that to happen.

1742
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 2: Miami can be gritty all they want to be. They

1743
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:23,880
Speaker 2: are not better than the Deva Nuggets, That's all I'm saying.

1744
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:28,599
Speaker 2: So there's no overreaction here because I've seen both teams

1745
01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:33,960
Speaker 2: play throughout the year. Literally, I watch a thousand games easy,

1746
01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 2: I watch a thousand games, and I've seen these teams.

1747
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:40,599
Speaker 2: I've seen them. I know what Miami was doing at

1748
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:43,160
Speaker 2: the beginning of the season, lowest scoring team in the league.

1749
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:46,120
Speaker 2: I get that. So they basically playing over their heads

1750
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 2: right now because I'm still gonna go back to what

1751
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:53,200
Speaker 2: you did throughout the season. That's who you really are

1752
01:30:53,640 --> 01:30:57,240
Speaker 2: the Denver Nuggets have been this consistent team the whole year.

1753
01:30:58,560 --> 01:30:59,439
Speaker 1: I get that too.

1754
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:02,880
Speaker 2: Just started picking it up, I know.

1755
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:06,000
Speaker 1: And that's what's crazy is offensively, you hit on it.

1756
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:09,800
Speaker 1: What Miami did from three In the regular season, they

1757
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:13,320
Speaker 1: were I think they were twenty seventh in three point shooting.

1758
01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:16,639
Speaker 1: They were first throughout most of this postseason. They might

1759
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:17,800
Speaker 1: still be there. I'm not quite sure.

1760
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:23,679
Speaker 2: That's the overreaction, is what what's the over that thinking

1761
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:25,000
Speaker 2: that they're gonna keep doing that.

1762
01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:27,400
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's the thing is, but it's not just

1763
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 1: one series. If it's one series and hey, your lights

1764
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:34,679
Speaker 1: out against the Bucks, Okay, it's been three series. Yeah,

1765
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:36,760
Speaker 1: where they've been the top team.

1766
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 2: And they played against they had situations happening with all

1767
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:44,880
Speaker 2: those series. But guess what now they're playing against a

1768
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 2: team team. They're not playing against individuals, you know, and

1769
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:51,600
Speaker 2: we need to remember that the Boston Celtics are a

1770
01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:55,880
Speaker 2: bunch of individuals that happened to make some shots in

1771
01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:57,600
Speaker 2: a couple of games and then they got it to

1772
01:31:57,640 --> 01:31:59,400
Speaker 2: a six to six, I mean to a three to

1773
01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 2: three time and lost in Game seven. You know, I

1774
01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 2: believe the Milwaukee Bucks did the same thing. They became

1775
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,880
Speaker 2: a bunch of individuals trying to make it happen all

1776
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:11,479
Speaker 2: at once. When they got down, and I think when

1777
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:15,720
Speaker 2: they lost home court advantage, they lost focus again. The

1778
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:18,439
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggas have been doing this for the whole year.

1779
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 2: They've been a team and the number one person is

1780
01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:28,000
Speaker 2: Jokics and Jamal Murray. Those two guys have led them.

1781
01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 2: They are continuing to leave them. And as long as

1782
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 2: you have guys like that that are really they both

1783
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 2: could be selfish if they want to be, and they

1784
01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 2: choosing not to be right and they right.

1785
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:43,160
Speaker 1: I'll make it comparison here. I think you'll buy this.

1786
01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:46,559
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I'm anticipating some buying for mister

1787
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:52,320
Speaker 1: Olden Polonies. Think about this. Boston has top talent, but

1788
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:56,439
Speaker 1: they don't play great as a team. Miami doesn't have

1789
01:32:56,600 --> 01:33:01,040
Speaker 1: top talent, you know, roster wise, but they play great

1790
01:33:01,040 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: as a team. Denver Bryan both Denver has top talent

1791
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:06,599
Speaker 1: and they play as a team.

1792
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm buying that all the way. And that's exactly

1793
01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:12,599
Speaker 2: what it is. That and and that's where Miami's gonna

1794
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,280
Speaker 2: falter because now you're playing the team with the top

1795
01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 2: talent playing as a team and they like each other

1796
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:22,040
Speaker 2: and they're having fun and they have home Cournan.

1797
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:26,080
Speaker 4: I know.

1798
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:28,720
Speaker 1: I'm still with Denver to win the series. Don't get

1799
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 1: me wrong, but I just don't see it being this

1800
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 1: walk in the park that a lot of people are thinking.

1801
01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be a walk in the park. It's

1802
01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:37,760
Speaker 2: just gonna be a sweep.

1803
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:43,639
Speaker 1: A non walk in the box sweep is what's gonna happen. Oh,

1804
01:33:43,720 --> 01:33:47,439
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate. As the Atlanta Braves down to their final

1805
01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 1: out just hit a grand slam. I might have had

1806
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 1: some cash on the Arizona Diamondbacks. Might. I can't confirm

1807
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:56,000
Speaker 1: or deny that, old and.

1808
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:59,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry for you. You know what, Brian, what's that?

1809
01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:01,679
Speaker 2: You might want to stop?

1810
01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is I need to tell you

1811
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 1: about the bets I get right as well, because I

1812
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:11,040
Speaker 1: have this bad habit of talking about whatever doesn't work.

1813
01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:15,519
Speaker 1: There's been some winning bets today night you poker, I do?

1814
01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 1: I love it?

1815
01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm a poker play as well. We all

1816
01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:21,840
Speaker 2: have a bad beat story, right, Oh yeah, we all.

1817
01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:23,880
Speaker 2: Everybody has a bad beat story.

1818
01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:26,479
Speaker 1: Oh yes, we all have those, no doubt.

1819
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:27,160
Speaker 2: All right?

1820
01:34:27,240 --> 01:34:31,760
Speaker 1: Coming up next. Making the absolute best out of a

1821
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 1: tough situation. I'm Brian No. He's holding polonies keep it

Speaker 1: locked right here on Fox Sports Radio. He's holding polonese

1823

1828
01:34:57,160 --> 01:35:02,280
Speaker 1: house with my girl in Champagne Illin Olden so Peori.

1829
01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:05,040
Speaker 1: I might just drive by after you know, game two

1830
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:07,639
Speaker 1: and just stick my head out the window, like Pioria

1831
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 1: Sports Radio one on one one. You know, I don't know,

1832
01:35:10,640 --> 01:35:12,400
Speaker 1: might do that a little bit later tonight, you know.

1833
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 1: Cross that off the list. But welcome to the Fox

1834
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:17,799
Speaker 1: Sports Radio family. How about this one? Making the best

1835
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:22,960
Speaker 1: out of a really difficult situation. Bill's safety DeMar Hamlin

1836
01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:25,960
Speaker 1: So he was the guy who suffered cardiac arrest on

1837
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:30,320
Speaker 1: the field during a Bill's Bengals game last year. Well,

1838
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:34,160
Speaker 1: he spent a couple of days in the hospital critical condition.

1839
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:38,160
Speaker 1: He's gotten out of the hospital. Things are getting better.

1840
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 1: He's trying to make a comeback as a player right now.

1841
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:45,680
Speaker 1: But he has launched a tour to educate others in resuscitation.

1842
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:50,040
Speaker 1: Right we're talking CPR training here, and so he's teaching

1843
01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:53,160
Speaker 1: kids how to how to do it correctly. And I

1844
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:56,000
Speaker 1: just think that's awesome, man, where he has not only

1845
01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:59,280
Speaker 1: taken this setback to say the least, it almost cost

1846
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 1: him his life, and he has turned it into an

1847
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:04,519
Speaker 1: absolute positive. I take my head off to the guy.

1848
01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:05,360
Speaker 1: I think that's great.

1849
01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 2: Oh, definitely. Anytime you can use a situation like that

1850
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 2: and make it a positive, kudos to you.

1851
01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. And he's got his foundation and remember when they

1852
01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:18,280
Speaker 1: had the toy drive and when he was in the hospital,

1853
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:22,600
Speaker 1: there were over nine million dollars worth in donations, and

1854
01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:24,679
Speaker 1: so I'm kind.

1855
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:26,840
Speaker 2: Of like, not to cut you off, but that kind

1856
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:29,559
Speaker 2: of like bothers me in a way, does it. He's

1857
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:33,400
Speaker 2: had the foundation right for a while, and it took

1858
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:36,960
Speaker 2: him almost dying for people to donate. Yeah, you know,

1859
01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:41,320
Speaker 2: that's that's some weird that's I don't know, it's that's

1860
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:44,080
Speaker 2: always bothered me in the grand scheme of things within

1861
01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:47,120
Speaker 2: this world and this society, how we do things, you know,

1862
01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:50,439
Speaker 2: It's like and I don't wish bad on nobody. But

1863
01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:54,600
Speaker 2: it shouldn't take a near death experience for you to

1864
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:55,600
Speaker 2: be altruistic.

1865
01:36:56,040 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 1: Now I get where you're coming from on that. You can, Hey,

1866
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:03,439
Speaker 1: you can be generous and donate without that happening. Exactly

1867
01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:07,080
Speaker 1: you should. Yeah, how about this too if we shifted

1868
01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 1: over to Yannis. So I just thought about Yanis in

1869
01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:14,839
Speaker 1: one of his comments. Remember when the Bucks got bounced

1870
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:17,560
Speaker 1: by the Miami Heat and Yana said.

1871
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:19,320
Speaker 4: This, there's no failure in sports.

1872
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:22,920
Speaker 1: He said, there's no failure and this was the other quote.

1873
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:24,959
Speaker 4: It's not the failure, it steps to success.

1874
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:28,360
Speaker 1: Okay, So he didn't call the Bucks losing in the

1875
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:32,080
Speaker 1: first round to the eight seed Miami Heat a failure.

1876
01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 1: He says it steps to success. I disagree with that.

1877
01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:38,679
Speaker 1: I would call it a failure. Would you would you, Olden?

1878
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:41,120
Speaker 1: Would you say the Bucks losing in round one is

1879
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:42,120
Speaker 1: a failure.

1880
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:45,680
Speaker 2: Big failure, failure with an asterisk though because of the

1881
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:48,040
Speaker 2: injury and everything else. Yeah, but it was a failure.

1882
01:37:48,280 --> 01:37:50,840
Speaker 2: And I understand where he was coming from. It is

1883
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:55,120
Speaker 2: a great sound bite and it works well, works well

1884
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:58,720
Speaker 2: for others, you know, living life, you know that might

1885
01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:02,680
Speaker 2: be struggling with stuff, and it's a great SoundBite. You know,

1886
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:06,280
Speaker 2: it's a great mantra. There's no such thing as failure,

1887
01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:09,920
Speaker 2: there's steps. I always tell people this, I've never lost

1888
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:12,439
Speaker 2: the game, even like when I played chess. When I played,

1889
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:15,720
Speaker 2: I don't lose. I learned. You know, I either win

1890
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:18,840
Speaker 2: or I learn. So it's along those lines. But it's

1891
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:23,479
Speaker 2: a failure. Why you've already known the taste of success

1892
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:26,800
Speaker 2: with the championship. You know exactly what you had to

1893
01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 2: do to get there when you won. So if you

1894
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:32,799
Speaker 2: and you the number one seed, so if you don't

1895
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:36,200
Speaker 2: follow through, it's a failure.

1896
01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:39,360
Speaker 1: It absolutely is. It can be both. Like I I

1897
01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:42,439
Speaker 1: look at the Bucks. They absolutely failed even though Giannis

1898
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:44,240
Speaker 1: was out for two and a half games, and that

1899
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 1: has to be taken into account. They had the shortest

1900
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 1: odds to win the championship this year, and they were

1901
01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:54,200
Speaker 1: the team that was not only a one seed in

1902
01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 1: the East, they had the best record in the entire

1903
01:38:56,520 --> 01:39:01,320
Speaker 1: NBA yep, and they lost in a gentleman They lost

1904
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:06,559
Speaker 1: in five to Miami. So that is textbook failure right there.

1905
01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:09,559
Speaker 1: But it can also be a step towards success. It

1906
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:13,200
Speaker 1: can be both, but you don't have to sugarcoat what

1907
01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:16,840
Speaker 1: is an obvious failure into it wasn't. But what I

1908
01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 1: thought was, if we expand this to the rest of

1909
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs, right, which other teams would you point out

1910
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:27,120
Speaker 1: and say they failed? How about the Boston Celtics. They

1911
01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:30,599
Speaker 1: get to a Game seven against Miami, they win three

1912
01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:32,920
Speaker 1: games in a row to even the series. They're back

1913
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:37,360
Speaker 1: at home and they get absolutely crushed by nineteen points.

1914
01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:40,799
Speaker 1: That's a failure too in my book, for big failure.

1915
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't get us all the way to game seven

1916
01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 2: and lay that egg. Yeah, all those guys, Malcolm Brogdon,

1917
01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:52,920
Speaker 2: Grant Williams. The only person I thought that played decent

1918
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,679
Speaker 2: was on Rob Williams. Robert Williams. You know, at least

1919
01:39:56,680 --> 01:39:59,400
Speaker 2: he was out there trying his best. You know, I

1920
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:01,760
Speaker 2: think he's very limited on a lot of things, but

1921
01:40:01,840 --> 01:40:04,720
Speaker 2: he was trying his hardest. And I give shot outs

1922
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:08,160
Speaker 2: to Jason Tatum for playing through that painful ankle injury

1923
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:10,120
Speaker 2: because that was a bad one. You know.

1924
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:13,559
Speaker 1: How about this one too, the Sixers. The Sixers go

1925
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:15,400
Speaker 1: up three to two on Boston.

1926
01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:16,599
Speaker 2: You mental failure.

1927
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:19,800
Speaker 1: They are right, they're at home, they have a lead

1928
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:22,799
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Jason Tatum the first three quarters,

1929
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:27,160
Speaker 1: cannot hit a shot. He was one for twelve or

1930
01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:29,880
Speaker 1: one for thirteen in the first three quarters, and then

1931
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:34,880
Speaker 1: Tatum himself outscores the sixers in the fourth quarter, and

1932
01:40:34,920 --> 01:40:37,599
Speaker 1: then Philly goes on to get blasted in Game seven.

1933
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 1: Epic failure by Philly as well.

1934
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:43,840
Speaker 2: Definitely, And that's on coaching. That's coaching staff. All y'all

1935
01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:46,040
Speaker 2: gotta come together and figure out a game plan the

1936
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:50,200
Speaker 2: last quarter to figure out how we gonna stop this guy. Okay,

1937
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:54,080
Speaker 2: we gotta make some changes, we gotta make some substitutions something.

1938
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 2: I'm not giving up a three to one lead. But

1939
01:40:56,040 --> 01:41:00,400
Speaker 2: apparently that's you know, that's Doc riversm he's you that

1940
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:04,759
Speaker 2: and so to me, that's a huge monumental failure.

1941
01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got two others on my list. I don't

1942
01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:10,719
Speaker 1: know if your failure list is more extensive than mine.

1943
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:14,040
Speaker 1: But I've also got the Phoenix Suns. They got to

1944
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:16,320
Speaker 1: be on the list. I know KD wasn't there for

1945
01:41:16,479 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 1: very long, and they haven't established great chemistry and continuity

1946
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:23,320
Speaker 1: and all those things. And I know that Chris Paul

1947
01:41:23,439 --> 01:41:26,120
Speaker 1: was injured. I know that, But they're talented enough to

1948
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:29,360
Speaker 1: not get blasted by twenty five at home, even by

1949
01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:31,720
Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets, who are probably gonna win a championship

1950
01:41:31,720 --> 01:41:35,400
Speaker 1: over here, to lose by twenty five, Let's not act

1951
01:41:35,439 --> 01:41:37,840
Speaker 1: like they're don't have playmakers. Kd and Devin Booker are

1952
01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:40,160
Speaker 1: two of the best players on the planet and they

1953
01:41:40,200 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 1: did not shoot well at all in game six. To

1954
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 1: get run like that by twenty five, you can't just

1955
01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:49,280
Speaker 1: fire the head coach and shrug your shoulders and say, oh,

1956
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:50,559
Speaker 1: there are no failures in sports.

1957
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:51,040
Speaker 2: No, it was.

1958
01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 1: It was a failure. You have to call it what

1959
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:53,360
Speaker 1: it is.

1960
01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 2: That one. I'm a little onto steps. There's steps to that.

1961
01:41:58,040 --> 01:41:59,840
Speaker 1: One steps to success, so that one.

1962
01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:02,880
Speaker 2: Steps to success on that one. Again, to what you

1963
01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:05,839
Speaker 2: pointed out, Katie came in the middle of the season,

1964
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:08,920
Speaker 2: and so you got to take that into account. These guys,

1965
01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:13,519
Speaker 2: we can be friendly and everything else and compete, but

1966
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:18,120
Speaker 2: until you go through a training camp and hang out

1967
01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:22,600
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, you really don't know people's tendencies.

1968
01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:25,360
Speaker 2: You don't know any of that stuff. And so to me,

1969
01:42:25,479 --> 01:42:27,639
Speaker 2: that was a big part of it. Chris Paul getting hurt,

1970
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 2: But the biggest problem for Phoenix was not scoring or

1971
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:36,360
Speaker 2: DeAndre Aden or anything else. They gave up too much

1972
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:40,280
Speaker 2: for Kevin Durant. Yeah, well that's all Bridges and camp

1973
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:42,160
Speaker 2: Johnson was just too much.

1974
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:45,559
Speaker 1: Well and then what the four first round picks, and

1975
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:47,519
Speaker 1: they gave up so much.

1976
01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:50,559
Speaker 2: You gave up that length the defense, You gave up

1977
01:42:50,680 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 2: your heart and soul.

1978
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:55,160
Speaker 1: Right, But that's how I look at it is you're

1979
01:42:55,200 --> 01:42:59,280
Speaker 1: not making that deal and being cool with getting blasted

1980
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:02,360
Speaker 1: in games of the second round, you know what I mean?

1981
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:07,720
Speaker 1: You make that deal because you want a ring, and

1982
01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:10,160
Speaker 1: so I just chalk it up to that. I know

1983
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:13,679
Speaker 1: it's there. There's an asterisk, and there's some explaining as

1984
01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:17,559
Speaker 1: to how it unfolded the way that it did. But yeah,

1985
01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 1: when you're getting Kevin Durant and paying that price tag,

1986
01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:23,360
Speaker 1: you want to go a lot further than round two

1987
01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:24,040
Speaker 1: of the playoffs.

1988
01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 2: Oh definitely. You know, one of the things I always

1989
01:43:26,120 --> 01:43:28,519
Speaker 2: say is this, and I've been saying this for several years,

1990
01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:31,320
Speaker 2: and he keeps proving me right. Do you know I

1991
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 2: don't need to watch I don't need the sun going down.

1992
01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:36,120
Speaker 2: I don't need any of us up to know what

1993
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:38,800
Speaker 2: time of year it is. All I gotta do is

1994
01:43:38,840 --> 01:43:43,919
Speaker 2: see if Chris Paul is playing on that. I'm serious.

1995
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:47,559
Speaker 1: You're like, must be either May or June.

1996
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:51,879
Speaker 2: You know exactly what time of the year. It is. Fortunately,

1997
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:54,919
Speaker 2: great player, but it's unfortunate how this always happens.

1998
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is one more on my list. You gotta

1999
01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:02,400
Speaker 1: look at the Memrizzlies. I mean, come on, I know

2000
01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 1: that they didn't have Steven Adams. I know they didn't

2001
01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:09,160
Speaker 1: have Brandon Clark. Okay, I got it. But to lose

2002
01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:14,680
Speaker 1: by forty points in the first round against the Lakers

2003
01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:19,000
Speaker 1: when Jahn Morant earlier in the year said, nah, I'm

2004
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:21,759
Speaker 1: fine in the West, and they lose in the first

2005
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:25,320
Speaker 1: round in an elimination game by forty and then we

2006
01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:28,120
Speaker 1: get that on the heels of the first gun incident

2007
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:32,120
Speaker 1: and the second gun incident, that that is an epic, colossal,

2008
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:35,360
Speaker 1: like top shell failure by the Memphis Grizzlies.

2009
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:39,200
Speaker 2: That one I'm giving both of them. I'm giving them

2010
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:42,960
Speaker 2: steps to success and also a huge failure the steps

2011
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:46,200
Speaker 2: of success. You cannot be flashing a gun in a

2012
01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:51,240
Speaker 2: club and getting suspended and think you're gonna win. You

2013
01:44:51,280 --> 01:44:56,639
Speaker 2: cannot talk trash to people okay that are top five

2014
01:44:56,880 --> 01:45:01,479
Speaker 2: all times and think you're gonna win, especially when you

2015
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:06,879
Speaker 2: don't show up to defend that guy. Okay, you don't

2016
01:45:06,920 --> 01:45:10,000
Speaker 2: do these things. You know, when two of your top

2017
01:45:10,040 --> 01:45:15,559
Speaker 2: players go out, you don't compound it by thinking, oh,

2018
01:45:15,640 --> 01:45:19,000
Speaker 2: I can just keep jacking up shots when my two

2019
01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 2: best offensive rebounders aren't even in the game anymore. And

2020
01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:24,640
Speaker 2: so to me, there were steps that they took, but

2021
01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:29,360
Speaker 2: it was a monumental failure for the whole team. And

2022
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm talking about management, coaching, all of that. That was

2023
01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:35,840
Speaker 2: a monumental failure on their part.

2024
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:38,599
Speaker 1: How about this, two more teams to throw out their

2025
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:43,200
Speaker 1: rapid fire style Sacramento Kings. I can't go with failure

2026
01:45:43,240 --> 01:45:47,519
Speaker 1: there because she's successful. You're a three seed in the West.

2027
01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:49,880
Speaker 1: I know you took the Warriors to a game seven,

2028
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:54,400
Speaker 1: you lost by twenty. Very disappointing. I just I wouldn't

2029
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:57,960
Speaker 1: have that. Yeah, like the beam was a whole phenomenon

2030
01:45:58,040 --> 01:46:01,479
Speaker 1: throughout the season. That that was all a great, great

2031
01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:03,800
Speaker 1: step in the right direction by the Kings. But how

2032
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:06,320
Speaker 1: about the flip side. How about the Warriors. They're the

2033
01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:09,960
Speaker 1: defending champions. They got smacked around pretty good by the

2034
01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 1: Lakers in the playoffs. They only make it to round two.

2035
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, huge failure. Gotta be a failure, huge failure. They

2036
01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 2: already know how to win. Yeah, that's the one thing

2037
01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:20,800
Speaker 2: about the Warriors. They know how to win. Now, whether

2038
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:22,920
Speaker 2: they do it on a consistent basis, that's on them.

2039
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:27,360
Speaker 2: Like with the turnovers, that's just bad basketball, you know,

2040
01:46:27,479 --> 01:46:31,360
Speaker 2: that's careless basketball. But that was a monument of failure

2041
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:31,679
Speaker 2: for them.

2042
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:35,040
Speaker 1: So I'm counting this up real faster. Let me see

2043
01:46:35,040 --> 01:46:37,479
Speaker 1: on my list they got one, two, three, four, or

2044
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 1: five six teams that all had big failures in just

2045
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:45,680
Speaker 1: this postseason alone. So yet failure absolutely.

2046
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:46,840
Speaker 2: And they need to be honest about it.

2047
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:47,559
Speaker 3: They gotta be.

2048
01:46:48,280 --> 01:46:51,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think sometimes if you sugarcoat failure, I think

2049
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:54,680
Speaker 1: that can get in your way of success exactly. I

2050
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:55,680
Speaker 1: think you just got to own it.

2051
01:46:55,760 --> 01:46:59,160
Speaker 2: Like you said it earlier. With the Warriors, they're trying to,

2052
01:46:59,320 --> 01:47:01,439
Speaker 2: you know, make up an excuse. Yeah, I believe. Oh

2053
01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 2: it was the punch no, no, you're not good enough,

2054
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:06,000
Speaker 2: you're not big enough.

2055
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:09,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, right. I think it was Klay Thompson that said

2056
01:47:09,240 --> 01:47:11,559
Speaker 1: before the playoffs, I don't think anybody can beat us

2057
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 1: when we're healthy. And it's like you guys were healthy,

2058
01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:15,880
Speaker 1: yeah and you lost.

2059
01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:17,120
Speaker 2: They weren't big.

2060
01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:20,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, nope, nope, that length, that Laker's length is a

2061
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:23,280
Speaker 1: real problem. All right. Somebody who's not a problem whatsoever.

2062
01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:26,000
Speaker 1: He's actually an asset. He's a kind man as well.

2063
01:47:26,240 --> 01:47:28,880
Speaker 1: That would be Nick Cope. Who's with us? What's going on?

2064
01:47:28,960 --> 01:47:29,160
Speaker 2: Nick?

2065
01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 6: All right, guys, we got about thirty minutes until we

2066
01:47:31,840 --> 01:47:33,920
Speaker 6: get to Game two of the Finals between the Heat

2067
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:37,160
Speaker 6: and the Nuggets. A one to oh series lead for Denver.

2068
01:47:37,600 --> 01:47:40,920
Speaker 6: God word, Kevin Love is gonna start Game two tonight

2069
01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:46,120
Speaker 6: and Martin I told you the Love did not play

2070
01:47:46,120 --> 01:47:49,360
Speaker 6: in Game one, as we know. And Caleb Martin missedpracticed

2071
01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:52,240
Speaker 6: yesterday with an illness. About an hour and a half ago.

2072
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:54,760
Speaker 6: The Heat announced he is available, but he will have

2073
01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:58,040
Speaker 6: to come off the bench. Also, Tyler Hero has been

2074
01:47:58,120 --> 01:48:00,919
Speaker 6: rolled out, So yes, Kevin Love in this arading lineup.

2075
01:48:01,320 --> 01:48:04,320
Speaker 6: Chance to get some more size on the court. So

2076
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 6: we'll get your guys reaction to that quickly. I'll go

2077
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:09,559
Speaker 6: to baseball here though. We got a couple games going

2092
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:56,640
Speaker 6: That was not No, that would be courtesy of the

2093

Speaker 1: You, Thanks Nick, I'm Brian No, he's olden Polonies here

2117
01:50:07,320 --> 01:50:11,400
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Man, how about that Kevin Love

2118
01:50:11,800 --> 01:50:14,840
Speaker 1: starting in place of Caleb Martin. I knew it, you

2119
01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:15,240
Speaker 1: knew it.

2120
01:50:15,320 --> 01:50:18,840
Speaker 2: Huh Yeah, I'd tell you they had to go big. Yeah,

2121
01:50:19,080 --> 01:50:21,240
Speaker 2: Devon was gonna do the same thing again. Put Aaron

2122
01:50:21,280 --> 01:50:22,360
Speaker 2: Gordon down low.

2123
01:50:23,080 --> 01:50:27,280
Speaker 1: And you're gonna see Caleb Caleb Love. Kevin Love at

2124
01:50:27,320 --> 01:50:28,160
Speaker 1: times on Joki.

2125
01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:30,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I put him on him, but it's not gonna

2126
01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:33,240
Speaker 2: be effected because he's not tall enough. And so to me,

2127
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:36,520
Speaker 2: that's what I said, This is exactly what Denver wants.

2128
01:50:36,760 --> 01:50:39,519
Speaker 2: They wanted you to make that change and bring Kevin

2129
01:50:39,520 --> 01:50:41,240
Speaker 2: Love out of there. Yes, he can knock down some

2130
01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:44,680
Speaker 2: three pointers and he can rebound, but I'm telling you

2131
01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:47,320
Speaker 2: Denver wants this well.

2132
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:49,600
Speaker 1: And that's the thing is you saw the Lakers do

2133
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:55,040
Speaker 1: this where they put Rui Hachimura on Jokic and Anthony Davis.

2134
01:50:55,080 --> 01:50:58,360
Speaker 1: He's a great rover, he's a great shot blocker. He

2135
01:50:58,360 --> 01:51:00,880
Speaker 1: can kind of roam around. And that's not Bam out

2136
01:51:00,920 --> 01:51:03,800
Speaker 1: of Baio. BAM's six ' nine. You know, he's not

2137
01:51:03,800 --> 01:51:07,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a rover like a d is Well.

2138
01:51:07,880 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 2: He's not. And the problem with Bam out of Bio

2139
01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:15,800
Speaker 2: is that he's not always engaged, you know. And that's tough,

2140
01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:19,760
Speaker 2: you know, because to me, I've said this before. As

2141
01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:22,759
Speaker 2: Bam out of Bayo goes, so does the Miami Heat,

2142
01:51:22,920 --> 01:51:25,960
Speaker 2: more so than Jimmy Butler. But it's more on the

2143
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:30,920
Speaker 2: defensive end than offensively. You know, first game that he

2144
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:35,200
Speaker 2: scored he played great offensively, Yeah, but they weren't able

2145
01:51:35,240 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 2: to stop the Nuggets, And to me, that's the problem.

2146
01:51:39,040 --> 01:51:43,559
Speaker 2: So now you're not bringing a defensive juggernaut and Kevin Love,

2147
01:51:44,160 --> 01:51:45,719
Speaker 2: you just bringing up a bigger body.

2148
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:51,400
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is, uh, we always look like

2149
01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:54,639
Speaker 1: what will be better instead of what will be worse?

2150
01:51:55,200 --> 01:51:57,800
Speaker 1: Like in sports sometimes, like in a series, a great

2151
01:51:57,800 --> 01:52:00,960
Speaker 1: example would be, well, hey, man, Jimmy Butler, he's not

2152
01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:03,160
Speaker 1: going to play that badly. These role players aren't going

2153
01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:05,080
Speaker 1: to play that badly. And I agree with that, but

2154
01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:07,960
Speaker 1: you know what, Bam out of bio might not play

2155
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:10,320
Speaker 1: half as good as he did in Game one, you

2156
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:12,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, so it can go backwards

2157
01:52:12,840 --> 01:52:13,559
Speaker 1: at times.

2158
01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:16,320
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a very good point, and.

2159
01:52:16,320 --> 01:52:18,120
Speaker 1: We tend to just look at what can be Well,

2160
01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 1: Denver's going to shoot the three way better than eight

2161
01:52:20,479 --> 01:52:23,320
Speaker 1: for twenty seven. It's like, well, yeah, they probably will.

2162
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:27,840
Speaker 1: But you know, does Murray score twenty six points the

2163
01:52:27,880 --> 01:52:29,160
Speaker 1: way he did in Game one?

2164
01:52:29,240 --> 01:52:31,640
Speaker 2: You know, so yeah he'll go he can go for

2165
01:52:31,680 --> 01:52:32,400
Speaker 2: a fifty ball.

2166
01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:35,000
Speaker 1: Now you could go for a fifty piece.

2167
01:52:35,360 --> 01:52:35,559
Speaker 9: Man.

2168
01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:39,320
Speaker 2: Murray is definitely fifty ball capable.

2169
01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:41,200
Speaker 1: How do you see it?

2170
01:52:41,200 --> 01:52:45,080
Speaker 2: Definitely fifty ball capable. Casey p can go for twenty,

2171
01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:49,680
Speaker 2: he had a subpar game, Bruce Brown can go for seventeen.

2172
01:52:49,720 --> 01:52:53,080
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. There was so many different components

2173
01:52:53,120 --> 01:52:57,479
Speaker 2: of this game, Like neither team really had great play

2174
01:52:57,600 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 2: all around. Huh, but gets have better play all around.

2175
01:53:02,280 --> 01:53:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna make a statement that it's going to

2176
01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:07,120
Speaker 1: sound straight from the hater handbook.

2177
01:53:07,120 --> 01:53:08,800
Speaker 2: Over, let me write this down.

2178
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:11,920
Speaker 1: I do love Jamal Murray. The guy's a baller. And

2179
01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:14,479
Speaker 1: how crazy is it, by the way, Olden that he

2180
01:53:14,600 --> 01:53:18,360
Speaker 1: was part of that Carmelo Anthony deal. Right, Carmelo gets

2181
01:53:18,400 --> 01:53:22,320
Speaker 1: traded from Denver to the Knicks, and Denver got a

2182
01:53:22,439 --> 01:53:26,160
Speaker 1: pick in that deal that they used to draft Jamal Murray.

2183
01:53:26,560 --> 01:53:29,400
Speaker 1: It traces all the way back to Carmelo Anthony. But

2184
01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:32,880
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray is a fantastic player. I think there's a

2185
01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:36,719
Speaker 1: better chance that he doesn't reach fifty over the next

2186
01:53:36,760 --> 01:53:39,320
Speaker 1: two games then he reaches fifty tonight.

2187
01:53:42,640 --> 01:53:44,520
Speaker 2: What do you think The capabilities?

2188
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:46,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely as the capil he can.

2189
01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:51,360
Speaker 2: Literally get rolling and they'll be disastrous for Miami.

2190
01:53:51,680 --> 01:53:53,320
Speaker 1: But you know as well as I do, it's not

2191
01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:56,800
Speaker 1: just about the ceiling it's about the realistic ceiling. You know,

2192
01:53:56,920 --> 01:53:58,960
Speaker 1: he can absolutely go for fifty night.

2193
01:53:59,800 --> 01:54:02,439
Speaker 2: Jim Butler can go for forty five. But at the

2194
01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:08,360
Speaker 2: end of the day, Nikolojokic is the key because that's

2195
01:54:08,520 --> 01:54:12,000
Speaker 2: what Miami has to figure out. And until you figure

2196
01:54:12,200 --> 01:54:15,519
Speaker 2: that aspect out, because he controls so much of the game,

2197
01:54:16,600 --> 01:54:20,479
Speaker 2: you're not gonna beat them because you're not number one Brian.

2198
01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:24,640
Speaker 2: You're not rushing him, you're not gonna speed him up.

2199
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:26,559
Speaker 2: You're not gonna make him turn the ball over, you're

2200
01:54:26,600 --> 01:54:29,280
Speaker 2: not gonna make him take bad shots. None of those

2201
01:54:29,320 --> 01:54:32,200
Speaker 2: things are happening. They're gonna happen in Boston. They're gonna

2202
01:54:32,320 --> 01:54:36,160
Speaker 2: happen with Philadelphia. It's not happening with this team and

2203
01:54:36,280 --> 01:54:39,000
Speaker 2: this guy. It doesn't work that way. You gotta figure

2204
01:54:39,040 --> 01:54:41,920
Speaker 2: something else out. Now, if a team brings me on board,

2205
01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:44,000
Speaker 2: if the Miami he want to give me a call

2206
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:47,000
Speaker 2: as a you know whatever, whatever, I'll tell him how

2207
01:54:47,040 --> 01:54:47,680
Speaker 2: to stop them?

2208
01:54:49,040 --> 01:54:51,200
Speaker 1: What do you kidnap him until the finals are over?

2209
01:54:51,360 --> 01:54:55,360
Speaker 2: Is that the plan might work too. I'm not saying

2210
01:54:55,560 --> 01:54:57,560
Speaker 2: there's a way to stop stop, but there's a way

2211
01:54:57,600 --> 01:54:58,360
Speaker 2: to limit limit.

2212
01:54:59,000 --> 01:55:01,680
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll get to that. How do you limit limit Jokic.

2213
01:55:01,800 --> 01:55:03,840
Speaker 1: We'll do that right around the court, won't No, we

2214
01:55:03,920 --> 01:55:05,840
Speaker 1: won't know. You got to get paid for that information.

2215
01:55:08,800 --> 01:55:11,440
Speaker 1: Is it a Nancy Carrigan this type thing and take

2216
01:55:11,480 --> 01:55:12,240
Speaker 1: a lead pipe to.

2217
01:55:12,320 --> 01:55:17,680
Speaker 2: The It's just there's a way to defend him that

2218
01:55:17,800 --> 01:55:19,760
Speaker 2: would benefit the Miami Heat.

2219
01:55:20,320 --> 01:55:22,080
Speaker 1: Okay, we got to get to this coming up. The

2220
01:55:22,160 --> 01:55:26,880

2237
01:56:20,640 --> 01:56:23,040
Speaker 1: and they hit a grand slam. You might have heard

2238
01:56:23,080 --> 01:56:26,080
Speaker 1: if you sort of squint into your eyes and leaned

2239
01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:28,400
Speaker 1: in a little bit, you might have heard my cash

2240

2242
01:56:36,080 --> 01:56:38,760
Speaker 1: and then the grand slam occurred there, old and not

2243
01:56:38,920 --> 01:56:39,880
Speaker 1: what we're looking for here.

2244
01:56:40,360 --> 01:56:45,240
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm so sorry. Quite a call it gambling.

2245
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:49,440
Speaker 1: That's right. There's always another game. We got Game two

2246
01:56:49,560 --> 01:56:52,120
Speaker 1: coming up over here. Now, how about this? Jason checked

2247
01:56:52,120 --> 01:56:55,480
Speaker 1: in on Twitter and said Jimmy Buckets goes off and

2248
01:56:55,600 --> 01:56:59,880
Speaker 1: puts on a clinic Game two against Denver for the

2249
01:57:00,320 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 1: W hashtag bring it in is what Jason says. Are

2250
01:57:05,080 --> 01:57:08,080
Speaker 1: you signing off on that there, Olden, I'm not based

2251
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:10,280
Speaker 1: on the way the show is gone. I don't catch

2252
01:57:10,480 --> 01:57:12,640
Speaker 1: vibes of you saying right on, Jason, I think the

2253
01:57:12,720 --> 01:57:13,200
Speaker 1: same thing.

2254
01:57:13,440 --> 01:57:15,840
Speaker 2: No, I don't think the same thing. And Jimmy probably

2255
01:57:15,920 --> 01:57:19,800
Speaker 2: will go off, you know. I mean, the man is

2256
01:57:19,880 --> 01:57:24,040
Speaker 2: an All Star and he had thirteen points, you know,

2257
01:57:24,920 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 2: I mean, common sense would tell you he'll have a

2258
01:57:26,840 --> 01:57:31,000
Speaker 2: better game, now, is it gonna be fourteen points, Is

2259
01:57:31,040 --> 01:57:33,360
Speaker 2: it gonna be twenty five, thirty five, forty five? I

2260
01:57:33,400 --> 01:57:36,880
Speaker 2: don't know, but I guarantee you this. The Denver Nuggets

2261
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:39,080
Speaker 2: are gonna step up their game too. M hm.

2262
01:57:39,760 --> 01:57:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm curious how many minutes Caleb Martin gets because he

2263
01:57:43,440 --> 01:57:46,800
Speaker 1: missed practice yesterday. He's got an illness once the.

2264
01:57:48,560 --> 01:57:50,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, That's what I need to know.

2265
01:57:51,040 --> 01:57:53,480
Speaker 1: It could be a lot of different things, you know.

2266
01:57:53,880 --> 01:57:56,120
Speaker 1: Could be a little head cold and he's all right.

2267
01:57:56,400 --> 01:57:58,320
Speaker 1: Could be much more than that. And we're talking like

2268
01:57:58,360 --> 01:57:59,240
Speaker 1: the Jordan flu game.

2269
01:57:59,640 --> 01:58:01,720
Speaker 2: You up?

2270
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:05,840
Speaker 1: How about this? Ronald checked in on Twitter and just wrote,

Speaker 2: So.

2278
01:58:27,400 --> 01:58:30,160

01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:35,360
Speaker 1: the NFL, the most popular bet is on the Detroit Lions.

2280
01:58:36,280 --> 01:58:39,960
Speaker 1: They are six and a half point underdogs against the Chiefs.

2281
01:58:40,040 --> 01:58:42,440
Speaker 1: That's the first game of the year, the Thursday night

2282
01:58:42,480 --> 01:58:45,880
Speaker 1: game kicks the whole season off Lions at the Chiefs.

2283
01:58:46,080 --> 01:58:49,040
Speaker 1: The Lions are the most heavily bet on team so far.

2284
01:58:49,120 --> 01:58:53,040
Speaker 2: Wow, people, I mean they coming up. Man, I think

2285
01:58:53,080 --> 01:58:53,840
Speaker 2: they're gonna.

2286
01:58:53,600 --> 01:58:57,560
Speaker 1: Be all right, man, get better.

2287
01:58:57,760 --> 01:59:01,960
Speaker 2: I really do they have it? I saw what is

2288
01:59:02,040 --> 01:59:03,600
Speaker 2: that the Knox what's that show?

2289
01:59:04,120 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks? Man?

2290
01:59:06,120 --> 01:59:08,200
Speaker 2: That made me like, oh, I might want to rethink

2291
01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:09,680
Speaker 2: my position on the lines.

2292
01:59:10,840 --> 01:59:13,120
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell will get you to buy in, you know

2293
01:59:13,120 --> 01:59:16,920
Speaker 1: what I mean, it can't help, but he had me hyped.

2294
01:59:18,160 --> 01:59:20,560
Speaker 2: But he was so genuine with everything.

2295
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:24,280
Speaker 1: You know what, how about this if we went real

2296
01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:27,480
Speaker 1: quickly on who you think will be a surprise team,

2297
01:59:27,800 --> 01:59:30,480
Speaker 1: whether good or bad? Are you going with the Lions?

2298
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:34,120
Speaker 2: I'm going with the Lions. I'm definitely going with my Giants.

2299
01:59:34,160 --> 01:59:37,920
Speaker 2: And I'm going with the Cowboys. I don't think Colloys. Well,

2300
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:39,720
Speaker 2: I don't think the Cowboys do well this year?

2301
01:59:39,880 --> 01:59:43,440
Speaker 1: Okay, surprisingly bad? You know who I think could be

2302
01:59:43,920 --> 01:59:48,960
Speaker 1: surprisingly bad? Maybe the Buffalo Bills. Oh I like that

2303
01:59:49,560 --> 01:59:54,240
Speaker 1: because that's a tough division, that's a tough conference. And look, man,

2304
01:59:54,320 --> 01:59:55,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen plays this alright.

2305
01:59:56,200 --> 01:59:59,640
Speaker 2: I got six primetime games. They're gonna they're gonna pick

2306
01:59:59,680 --> 01:59:59,880
Speaker 2: it up.

2307
02:00:00,320 --> 02:00:02,400
Speaker 1: They're probably gonna be okay, but that would be a

2308
02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:05,400
Speaker 1: surprise because if they're bad, that would be a shock.

2309
02:00:05,880 --> 02:00:08,400
Speaker 1: But crazier things have happened in the NFL, and the

2310
02:00:08,440 --> 02:00:11,440
Speaker 1: way Josh Allen plays, I wouldn't be shocked if he's

2311
02:00:11,520 --> 02:00:14,040
Speaker 1: nicked up for a few games and that could cost

2312
02:00:14,120 --> 02:00:17,320
Speaker 1: him a playoff spot. Yeah, maybe surprisingly good. How about

2313
02:00:17,320 --> 02:00:21,520
Speaker 1: the Falcons? Falcons are an up and coming team. Though, no, no,

2314
02:00:23,440 --> 02:00:25,560
Speaker 1: all right, we gonna need points. We need a rally

2315
02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:29,400
Speaker 1: in Game two tonight. Danny needs at least two seventeen.

2316
02:00:29,520 --> 02:00:31,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's go and make it happen.
