9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: A man? What's happening? It's been a lot of sports today.

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: I watched a multitude of stuff watching hockey right now

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact. But yeah, it's been a

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: pretty good Saturday, a lot of good stuff, including an

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: awesome start to a series that looks like it could

14
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: be in be a real gem in the NBA.

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny you mentioned a lot of sports on

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: air tonight or throughout the day. We do officially have

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: an over time in Game seven in the Eastern Conference

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: playoffs in hockey, as Toronto and Boston are tied one

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: to one after three periods. As I walked in the

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: studio and I saw this could go overtime, I was like,

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: you know, we get one of those seven overtime hockey

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: games tonight. I would not complain because it has been

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: a great day and I think just a great couple

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: weeks in sports. The playoffs are really ramping up, so

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: let's go ahead and start there. Jason as Monci just

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: told us Minnesota wins Game one in.

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: Denver one oh six ninety nine. The big story.

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards forty three points in this game also worth noting.

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: Nas Reed, six Man of the Year, finishes with sixteen points,

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: including fourteen in the fourth quarter, including his own personal

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: ten ozer run, so Minnesota takes Game one against Denver.

32
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: I have a lot of thoughts. What is the first

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: thing that comes to your mind when you see that score?

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: Jason, Well, I mean it's hard if you, if you

35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: watch the game, not to talk about Edwards and how

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: good he really is and how you saw it right

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: here if you didn't already know it that. I mean,

38
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: he's as good as anybody in the league right now,

39
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: and on the offensive end, he was almost unguardable for them.

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: But I think the biggest thing, I don't know if

41
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: it's just looking at the score, but watching the game

42
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: the size that Minnesota has, the height that they have

43
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: can cause Denver a lot of trouble. Like whereas we

44
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: talked about how the Lakers were just that was a

45
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: bad matchup for them to match up with the Nuggets,

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: this is a team that actually looks built to beat Denver,

47
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: or certainly to compete with them because of the size,

48
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: because of the offensive ability. A couple of the guys,

49
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: and then he got the six Man of the Year

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: who was not good at all for three quarters or

51
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: maybe even a little more than three quarters, but then

52
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: absolutely went nuts in the fourth, which I think it

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: was Reggie Miller. Jamal Crawford won on the television broadcast

54
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: that said, this is what six Man of the Year

55
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: is supposed to do. Of course Crawford would know that,

56
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: having been a former winner of that award. I just

57
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: looked at Minnesota and came away really impressed. As young

58
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: as they are, they were up for the challenge against

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: the defending champions, who are really good in tight basketball games,

60
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: and they they're the ones that put on that sixteen

61
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: to seven run that put it out of reach.

62
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's funny.

63
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I know it's easy for everybody to say, oh,

64
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: you know you saw this coming.

65
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: Whatever.

66
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: I did think after the way that Minnesota handled Phoenix

67
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: in the last round, I did think. I said, you

68
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: know two things, really well, really three things.

69
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: Honestly.

70
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: One, Denver, all of those Lakers games they could have lost.

71
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: Now they didn't, and it's credit to them. But I

72
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: was thinking, you know, you go through you go through

73
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: that series, you fall down and basically every single game.

74
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: And I sat there and said, I was like, you

75
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: do that against Minnesota, You're gonna lose some of these games.

76
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: Now, they fell.

77
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: Down a lot early, came all the way back, had

78
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: the lead, We're in control for a good chunk of

79
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: the game. And then obviously Minnesota really dominated the fourth quarter.

80
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: So that was one.

81
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: But two didn't I don't think play one didn't play

82
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: great against the Lakers. Two, Jamal Murray is clearly not

83
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. And then three, it's exactly what you

84
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: just said. That size is that you go back to

85
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: last year in the playoffs, and you know, I remember

86
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: talking with you about Denver in round two. I vividly

87
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 2: remember we Denver played Phoenix in Round two of the playoffs,

88
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: and I just remember coming on air that night, you

89
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: know with jokicch and Porter six ' nine, six ' ten,

90
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: Aaron Gordon and I just said that this size that

91
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 2: Phoenix has no answers for it at all, and at

92
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 2: the time they had DeAndre a and whatever doesn't really matter.

93
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: The point I'm trying to make is that coming into

94
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: the series, I sat there and said, you know, they

95
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: actually do have the bigs too, as much as you're

96
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: going to neutralize Nicole jokicch you know. And it's funny

97
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: he had thirty two, eight and nine tonight, but I

98
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: don't think it was a vintage Jokich game. Yeah, like

99
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 2: that sounds crazy, but he did have seven turnovers was

100
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: minus twelve when he was on the floor. Now, part

101
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: of that is just when you lose, you're probably not

102
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: gonna have a positive plus minus. But I just bring

103
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: it up because it felt like those big guys gave

104
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: him trouble. And I think we got ourselves a series,

105
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 2: I really do. I don't think there was anything fluky

106
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: about this. I don't think this was you know, oh,

107
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: and Edwards got hot and that's not replicable. I think

108
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: pretty much everything that happened tonight is replicable three more

109
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: times in a seven game series, and I think we're

110
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: gonna have a great one in this series.

111
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. The thing about Jokisch and I think your point

112
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: is exactly the way that I viewed it also is

113
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: just yeah, he had a nice stat line, but that game,

114
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean he had to earn all of that. Like

115
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: they fed him the ball a lot in the second half,

116
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: but he was winded he was playing. I saw this

117
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: as well, like after the game when you see the highlights,

118
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: he was doing some real uncharacteristic stuff because he was

119
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: trying to make things happen. He was playing maybe a

120
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: half step faster than his usual pace, and it showed

121
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: and they got in the way and they caused him

122
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: to make some mistakes. He was a little bit frustrated.

123
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean they worked him. They put three different guys

124
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: on him at different times in the game, and he

125
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: had to earn everything. That was a very inefficient stat

126
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: line because he had over twenty shots to get to

127
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: that point. It was It's gonna be a knockdown, drag

128
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: out fight, is what it feels like. I mean the

129
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: elevation the team that was gassed in the fourth quarter

130
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: was Denver, not Minnesota, even though it was in their building.

131
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: And Denver had not lost at home since like mid

132
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: March or something like that. So this, I mean, this

133
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: was a statement win for Minnesota, especially when you consider

134
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: the way they came out, forced the issue, and then

135
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: the Nuggets came back on them, and it looked like, okay,

136
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: all right, well here's what the Nuggets are gonna do.

137
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: How are the Tea Wolves going to respond? Well, they

138
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: found themselves down four at the half. Considering how it

139
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: was looking at that point, that felt pretty good if

140
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: you were a Minnesota fan. Then you get to the

141
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: second half and it felt like watching the game, the

142
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: Nuggets were hanging on yep and the Tea Wolves just

143
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: kept pushing them towards the ropes like it just felt

144
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: like they were the aggressors all night long, led of

145
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: course by Anthony Edwards, because he was forcing the issue

146
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: as often as possible, and he showed some stuff, some

147
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: of these fallaway shots, the hit and the one crossover

148
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, the jumper from the right side

149
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: that was disgusting in the best possible way, like that,

150
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know, I don't even know what you're

151
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: supposed to do to that except just marvel at it,

152
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: like you can't defend it, you can't do anything about it.

153
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: You just want to see that again, like he is special,

154
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: special special, and we'll see. I mean, Denver could easily

155
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: still win the series, no question about that. But this

156
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: one's gonna be one of the hardest, if not the hardest,

157
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: that they've ever dealt with with this core group, because

158
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: this Minnesota team is actually built to compete with them

159
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: from a size and they're deeper than Denver as well,

160
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: so that's a challenge.

161
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of thoughts here. One obviously you mentioned.

162
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's hard to not look at this

163
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: game and talk Anthony Edwards. I'll say this is you know,

164
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: I really am enjoying the the Anthony Edwards arc here

165
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: and I listen, I think everybody is. That's not really

166
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 2: like an amazing take. But you know, sometimes in the NBA,

167
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: I think too often, as a matter of fact, like

168
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: guys get anointed before. And I've used this argument for years,

169
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: but you know, Jason Tatum has that great Game seven

170
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: against Lebron.

171
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: When he's nineteen.

172
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: Oh he's this, He's and it's like in he's been

173
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: really good since then. But but you know, the moments

174
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: have been fleeting right. Remember one year in the playoffs,

175
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell went, oh, Donovan Mitchell's this, and it's like, no, no,

176
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: you know, I remember talking. You know, people were saying

177
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: Luca's the best player in the league before he had

178
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: ever even won a playoff series. But I bring all

179
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: that up because it feels like, you know, we've been

180
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: looking for who's that next guy to carry the torch

181
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: in this league. You and I have talked for the

182
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: last two weekends, the last two Saturdays about you know,

183
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: the fact that not only is there no Kadie Stephan

184
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: Lebron at this point in the playoffs, but that it

185
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: feels like the torch is being passed from era to

186
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: era and even if the Lakers had somehow made the

187
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: second round or the Suns had somehow made a second

188
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: or whatever, it just feels like those guys times are

189
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 2: mostly up, and so.

190
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: I bring it.

191
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: I bring it up to say, like I think in

192
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: the past, we've been in a rush to try to

193
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: figure out who that next guy is, and people anoint

194
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: a guy before he's really that guy. I just think

195
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: you look at Anthony Edwards forty in the close out

196
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: game against Phoenix, including that not only the great dunk

197
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: to really kind of make a statement late in that game,

198
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: but also the big block on Devin Booker which helps

199
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: seal that victory forty in a close out game forty

200
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: three in a Game one on the road. I just

201
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: think he's here, man, I just think he's here. And

202
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not gonna do. You know, he's the

203
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 2: best of this He's the best. I just think when

204
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: you talk about who is going to potentially carry this

205
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: league in the host Lebron Steph Katie world, I do

206
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: think he should be at the front of that list.

207
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I mean I think he's here and

208
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere. Now. We don't know anything can happen,

209
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: but I would place money on the fact that this

210
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: is something that's here to stay. I think the two

211
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: guys in the west to watch, especially if you were

212
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,599
Speaker 1: kind of a lapsed NBA fan, they're coming back to

213
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: the league. Anthony Edwards just one of them, and Sga

214
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: is the other one, and both of them have the

215
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: opportunity to become household names during this postseason, with Alexander

216
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: certainly being an MVP candidate and Edwards really should be

217
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: an MVP candid. I mean, dude, average twenty six in

218
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: the regular season. I mean you look at that team

219
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: and actually it's weird because I looked at Minnesota tonight

220
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: watching and it was just kind of like, like, quietly,

221
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: they've acquired a lot of talent. But what changed is

222
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: Edwards took that star turn and now you have that

223
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: alpha dog because I don't think Carl Anthony Towns has that,

224
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: Like he does some bone headed stuff. He had two

225
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: really bad fouls in the fourth or to put himself

226
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: on the bench. He at times can be frustratingly soft

227
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: to me out there, Edwards is not. Edwards is a dog.

228
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: Like I mean that that taunting technical which was a

229
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: hideous call. It was awful call against him. Like that's

230
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: the kind of thing that you can't coach it. Like

231
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: he's got that, he's got that killer mentality in him.

232
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: He wants to crush you. And that that changes everything

233
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: because now Towns can be more of who he needs

234
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: to be out there, and all these other guys fit

235
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: perfect roles because now they're where they should be because

236
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: they have their number one guy and that dude is legit.

237
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: Like if you saw Barkley after the game and if

238
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: you listen to the broadcast and saw the way that

239
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: they were talking about him, like they're trying not to

240
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: invoke a bunch of legend names watching him, like they're

241
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: not gonna mention names, but they're kind of shaking their

242
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: head like we're starting to get it rarefied air watching

243
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that he's doing. He's gonna have

244
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: to do it for a lot longer. But this is

245
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: a very very bright thing for the NBA is somebody

246
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: like this, And there are multiple guys now in the

247
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: league that seem to be emerging at the same time

248
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: that are young and can be there for a while.

249
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna see one tomorrow in Bankero. I mean,

250
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: he's another one that's really really good. But you have

251
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: some and of course you've got Pacers. Why does his

252
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: name escape Tyres Albert, Yeah, Haliburton, like, and he's been

253
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: a league for a couple of years. But you've got

254
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: some guys. You've got some guys to build around in

255
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: this league right now, and I hope they take advantage.

256
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's It's been a really fun playoffs,

257
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: capped by a fun game one the Minnesota Timberwolves beat

258
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets one oh six ninety nine thanks to forty

259
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: three points from Anthony Edwards, sixteen points, including fourteen in

260
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter from Nas Reed. Fox Sports Radio Aaron Tors,

261
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: Jason Martin taking me up until two am Eastern time.

262
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: As fun as Minnesota Denver was, Jason, No, who's not

263
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 2: having fun right now? The Los Angeles Lakers. Another coach,

264
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: another coach. It's always the coach's fault. Neva Lebronce. We're

265
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: gonna come back discuss the Lakers situation. Next, what happened

266
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: with Darvin Ham And I think the bigger question, why

267
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: would anybody want to coach the Lakers?

268
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,520

277
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 4: dugout and behind the scenes in Major.

278
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,720

00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody, Fox Sports Radio, Ericitors, Jsonmartin Broadcasting Live,

283
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: Tothtirerack dot Com Studio. Game one in the books Western

284
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: Conference semi Finals. Minnesota takes Game one in Denver, Minnesota.

285
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: Timberwolves up won nothing on the Denver Nuggets. Tomorrow Game

286
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: seven Orlando and Cleveland. Let's switch gears, though, because there

287
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: is a team that is not in the playoffs that

288
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: is worth discussing. And it is because as of about

289
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: eighteen or so hours ago yesterday, not only were they

290
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: not in the playoffs, they don't have a coach, of course.

291
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: Talking about the Los Angeles Lakers, who, after losing five

292
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: games to the Denver Nuggets earlier this week, fired Darvin

293
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: Ham after just two seasons. Jason Darvin Ham, is he

294
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: the reason the Los Angeles Lakers fell to the ragining

295
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: NBA champion Denver Nuggets. I know where you stand, but

296
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: I'm trying to set you up more dramatically. But the

297
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: floor is yours two seasons. Darvin Ham is out after

298
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: making the Western Conference finals in year one.

299
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, of course he's at fault. He only he

300
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: didn't score in the series, that is true. He gave

301
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: them no points. I mean no points, no rebounds, no steals, nothing.

302
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: I mean he didn't turn the ball over at least,

303
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: but that's about the only passe didn't make a free throw. Yeah,

304
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: that's right. Like, clearly he's at fault. He gave them

305
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing on the floor. Listen, was Darvin Ham a

306
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: great coach? I mean I doubt it. I don't think so.

307
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if you read through.

308
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: How many guys are two years into a tenure, you know, right,

309
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: I mean.

310
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: That's I mean, he was new, he was new, he

311
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: was he got them. You know, they were in the

312
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: playoffs last year and maybe the finals, yeah exactly, and

313
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: then this year they get back again. They had a

314
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: better record this year than they did last year. He

315
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: inherited a situation where yeah, you had Lebron James and

316
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, but you also had some other things that

317
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: had to be worked out and brought Polenka did what

318
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: he could at the trade deadline. But I love how

319
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: none of this falls on Polenka, none of it falls

320
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: on Lebron, none of it falls on any of the players.

321
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: It all has to fall on Darvin Ham. He becomes

322
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: your scapegoat. He becomes You're easy out. You had articles

323
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: being written within like twenty four hours of the Lakers losing,

324
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: just all these things that no one knew about what

325
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: was happening behind the scenes with Darvin Ham's, Like, wonder

326
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: where those came from. Wonder where there was the credit

327
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: from Dsham, Sharania and everybody at the athletic.

328
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: I tried to read that article this morning. It was

329
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: like five thousand words released.

330
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: Very long, and it was all burying Darvin Ham.

331
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you know, it's amazing how quickly

332
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: Sham's worked on that article to get it out within

333
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: hours of the Lakers season ending. By the way, speaking

334
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: of season ending, should mention really quick Game seven in

335
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: the NHL playoffs, Boston does win two to one in overtime.

336
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: They advance.

337
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: Didn't mean to cut you off, Jason, but yeah, it

338
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: was incredible. How how Shams must be the quickest typeer

339
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: ever because he got that bad boy out, oh, within

340
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: probably an hour or two of the Lakers season ending.

341
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: Not only that, I mean he had all sorts of

342
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: sources and quotes. I mean, my goodness, was he working

343
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: quickly or he already had it ready? You know, whatever

344
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: you want to say. But I read the article. It

345
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: was just like man just supported the code read, didn't he?

346
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: And in this case it's Lron ordered to code red.

347
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: Because this is just what happens. I don't understand. Like again,

348
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody was comparing Darvin Ham to one

349
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: of the greatest coaches ever. But he barely even got started.

350
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: The Lakers have had six coaches in twelve years, I

351
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: think it is. And you look at him and I

352
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: saw this. I saw I had another video posted on

353
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: the four Letters website and one of their NBA reporters,

354
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: and you know, she's very, very good at what she does.

355
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: The video was about Darbnham didn't live up to the

356
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: lakers high expectations. It's like expectations for what, like how

357
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: many great coaches have they had, you know, since Phil Jackson?

358
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: How has that gone for most of the guys that

359
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: have been there. Lebron's been there now six years and

360
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: here goes another coach out the door, and you look

361
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: at the list of people that could replace him, Tyler

362
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: is the only one with any kind of like legit

363
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: experience that would make any sense. And immediately you see

364
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: that the Clippers want to try to lock him up,

365
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 1: and I hope they do quite frankly, because the Lakers

366
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: don't deserve Tylo at this point in time. Treat him right.

367
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: So two things on that re member.

368
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: They don't deserve TYLERU and people forget this is that

369
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: I think it was the time they hired Frank Vogel.

370
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 2: Ty Lou was deemed to be the favorite, and they basically,

371
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: you know, for lack of a better term, kind of

372
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 2: embarrassed him. I mean, you know, he went in thinking,

373
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: you know, it was gonna be a legitimate, you know,

374
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: hiring process, and basically they I think they only offered

375
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: him like a three year contract, which is kind of

376
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: embarrassing in its own right, especially for a guy that's

377
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: won an NBA championship. And I believe they wanted to

378
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 2: pick the coaching staff for him, and there was some

379
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: weird Jason Kidd dynamic to it. So, I mean, you know,

380
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 2: first of all, and we'll talk Clippers an hour or two,

381
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 2: we'll get Monty and to discuss that a little bit.

382
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: But like she's she's rearing to go. It's like the

383
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: Kentucky Derby over there in the stable. She is ready

384
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 2: to talk Clippers. But we'll stick with the Lakers for now.

385
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 2: And you know, first of all, with TYLERU like I don't,

386
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: I mean, Steve Balmer is not only the richest owner

387
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: in the NBA, I think he's the richest owner in

388
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: all of pro sports. If not, he's in the very

389
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: short conversation and I don't see him, you know, letting

390
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: his coach walk to the Crosstown Rivals in a year

391
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: next year where obviously they're.

392
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: Opening a new arena, they're going to want to put

393
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 3: their best foot forwards.

394
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 2: So again, if it's not ty Lou, I mean might

395
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 2: be talking about boy JJ Reddick, which is certainly a

396
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: conversation for another day. But you know, it's just it's

397
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 2: just it just amazes me that we're in this cycle again.

398
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: And I think you did bring up a pretty interesting

399
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: point is that I think a lot of it. Listen,

400
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say, because I'd say

401
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: it falls more. I think some of it. First of all,

402
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: I don't think Darvin Ham is to blame. Bottom line,

403
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: let me just get that out, like, it's just you

404
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: look at it. This is a guy that made the

405
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: Western Conference Finals in year one. By the way they

406
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: played the Nuggets tough, they easily could have won any

407
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: of those games.

408
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 3: And the Nuggets are really good, even though they lost

409
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 3: to Night.

410
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 2: So that's one, but two, it's it's also like the

411
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets had better players at four positions on the court, Younger,

412
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: more dynamic, more talented, you know, uh whatever, And so

413
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: it's like, I just you know, you can't blame Darvin Ham.

414
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: You can't really blame the play I just I don't know.

415
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 2: It's just one of those it's which is so frustrating

416
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 2: and it's so obnoxious, and it's the same cycle over

417
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: and over and over again with Lebron, and it goes

418
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: back to Jason. It really goes back to I remember

419
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 2: you and I were on air two weeks ago when

420
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: the Lakers lost to the Nuggets in Game one, and

421
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: it's just I just don't think Lebron can carry you

422
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: for forty eight minutes in the playoffs at this age.

423
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 2: But there's never gonna be a scenario where Lebron is

424
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: not the best player on his team, at least not

425
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: one that I see. And so it's this chicken in

426
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: the egg thing of you can only get so far

427
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: with Lebron, but Lebron is never the fall guy. But

428
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: he's never gonna allow you to bring in somebody else

429
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: to kind of overshadow him.

430
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 3: I'm just rambling at this point, but it's just a frustrating.

431
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's true. We can get de

432
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: Manci here right after I say this, and then maybe

433
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: we can discuss this, because this will set us up

434
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: for where we can go. But the problem for Darvinham

435
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: or the next Darvin Ham is that if you win, well,

436
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: of course you won, you had Lebron James. And if

437
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: you lose, how could you lose? It's on you. It's

438
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: on you. If you lose, it's all credit to Lebron.

439
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: If he wins almost every time, it's him and Anthony Davis.

440
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: And look, the players are the ones that should get

441
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: the credit. But if I'm gonna give him the credit,

442
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: then I'm going to give him the blame too. No, Ham,

443
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure does deserve part of the pie, right Like

444
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: sure you read some of you read some of the

445
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: leaks and stuff. Some of it makes sense with some

446
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: of the switches and some of the lineup changes and

447
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: being a little bit stubborn here and there and all

448
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: of that. Like, yeah, some of that does play in.

449
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: But at what point does Lebron or anybody wearing a

450
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: Lakers uniform actually take some level of responsibility for the

451
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: fact that they weren't very good in the series they

452
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: blue leads three or four different times. That's not on

453
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: Darvin Ham. It's not all on a lack of adjustments

454
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: and all this. It's on a lack of execution and

455
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: a lack of team synergy. It's a lack of complimentary

456
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: basketball players that match with the Denver Nuggets. A lot

457
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: of times when you get into a long series, it's

458
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: about matchups, and we talked about this at the beginning

459
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: of that series erin, this was not a good matchup

460
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: for the Lakers at all, which is why we talked

461
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: earlier about how Minnesota kind of matches up well with Denver.

462
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: For Minnesota, like Minnesota actually can beat them because of

463

00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: Dude, I don't watch commercial breaks, and especially when you

515
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,320

522
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 6: in the world of sports, like the Bruins, who just

547
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 6: born of Japanese descent.

548
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 5: So he officially he.

549
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,960

00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 3: I saw this stat and I heard you say.

551
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: I kind of baffled.

552
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 6: Also, yeah, you know, I don't think he was born

553
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 6: in Japan, but I saw that line. He's definitely Japanese.

554
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 6: Dave Roberts. His dad was in the military, and so

555
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 6: that so he is one hundred percent of Japanese.

556
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 5: I saw that stat line, but I didn't know he

557
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 5: was born there.

558
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,680

559
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 6: dad was in the military, and so there we go.

560
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 6: Dave Roberts no longer the franchise holder for the Dodgers

561
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 6: of the most home runs. They're currently beating the Braves

562
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,320

563
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 6: Some of the games that have already wrapped up. There's

564
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,920

569
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 3: Hey, we do have the commercial? Do we want to do?

570
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,600

571
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 5: do it. I mean, isn't that amazing? And the point

572
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 5: of this is that I was so much hate for

573
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 5: this commercial. Irritates it.

574
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: It's just it's just they just have played it. And

575
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: they started this during the NCAA tournament. This one and

576
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 2: the Perkins Carmelo, Yeah, that one.

577
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: That one irritates me.

578
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 3: When does the suit end and park begin?

579
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: The worst part about that is, all right, I get

580
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: Carmelo and I get TJ. Ford. One of these things

581
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: is not like the other two. Like one of these

582
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: two of these dudes were stars in college. The other

583
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: one is Kendrick Perkins.

584
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're still playing the playoffs.

585
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, so that's Shay Gil just that's shake Guild

586
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: is Alexander and Cheed Holmgren, And it's just it was

587
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: clever the first like forty to fifty times I saw it,

588
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: and then after that, I'm exhausted.

589
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 6: There's so much other commercials that are so much more annoying.

590
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: I know that, I don't I don't necessarily disagree with that.

591
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Jason, if you saw that one thirty times

592
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: a game and you were paying attention, it's it's pretty tough.

593
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: I also just annoys me because neither of them was

594
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 2: even born when that song came out, and so that'd

595
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: be like me singing Elvis song and like trying to

596
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

597
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: It's just say, I.

598
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 5: Don't know, it's silly. You can't be bothered by landing.

00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: a commercial Christina Aguilera trying to hit a thirty foot three.

621
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 3: You know, I'll leave that to shake Gilda Alexander.

622
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: But you Christina Aguilera. I here's a hot take. Christina

623
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: Aguilera has exactly one really good song. Everything else whoa, whoa?

624
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 5: No, not how you're doing too much? You're doing one?

625
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 5: Which one?

626
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: Is it in a bottle?

627
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 5: That's it? That's your favorite rich girl. It's literally right there.

628
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 5: I like dirty.

629
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 3: I will tell you one thing. I will admit, Oh.

630
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 5: No, I do what I'm saying like this, that's like

631
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 5: lasting me almost.

632
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: I really I've raised Mary max eyre W after Christina Aguilera.

633
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: It was you and Carrie bringing it up at about

634
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: I want to say it was about one thirty Pacific

635
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: time I heard you guys talking about it, right. I

636
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 2: will say this because you know, I'm just kind of

637
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: burned out on sports a little bit, so sometimes I'm

638
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 2: just looking for some music to listen to. I have

639
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: been on a Christina aguilar kick because of that. Lord

640
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: because no, because I because I'm like driving.

641
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: On something you admit on Fox Sports is.

642
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: So you like the so you like Shay Gil just

643
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: Alexander singing Christina Aguilera, But I'm not allowed to just

644
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: like Christina Aguilera.

645
00:30:59,080 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 3: Yes, that doesn't even mix.

646
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 5: That's what we're saying.

647
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 3: Okay, that's sexist that I can't like a woman singer. Okay,

648
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: that's so. That's offensive.

649
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: She's great.

650
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 3: But I will say, Genie a Bottle is a jam.

651
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 3: Have you guys? Do you guys?

652
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: Have you listened to the words of that song, because

653
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: it's about something pretty deep and personal when you listen

654
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 2: to it. And I didn't realize that until probably like

655
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 2: a year ago, if you listen to the words very closely,

656
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: So that's a that's a commercial break.

657
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: Way to get it, way way to get in the

658
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: fields with it serious. No no, no, no, no no.

659
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 3: Go ahead and listen to the words during the commercial break.

660
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 3: Report back to me.

661
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, all right. People are going to be like,

662
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 5: what is he talking about? You just made it someone?

663
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 3: Do you know what it was like? Do you know

664
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 3: what Mary? Okay, you know what it is? You know

665
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 3: what she's singing about?

666
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 5: No comment, Mary knows exactly, no comment.

667
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 3: Do you know what she's.

668
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm gonna have to look it up because I don't.

669
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: It's a it's a very it's a very special moment

670
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: in a young person, a young maturing person.

671
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: Life.

672
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,400

Speaker 3: We were talking Darvin Ham.

688
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: I think we can save that conversation for a little

689
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 2: bit later in the show because I got a creepy

690
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 2: question to ask you, how did you spend your Friday night, Jason,

691
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: because I think it's it's an interesting I know how

692
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: you know you actually know you?

693
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, okay, yes, yes, yeah, I know.

694
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 8: Yeah.

695
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 3: Not that I'm like stucking you told me.

696
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah right, So, I mean I was. I was doing

697
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: a couple of different things. But one of the things

698
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: that I did, and this is the thing I've never

699
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: done before, never even considered before. Multiple times during the

700
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: course of the evening on my phone, I intentionally went

701
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: to check a box score amidst a sporting event that

702
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: was happening, namely the Indiana Fever preseason game. I'm not

703
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: even sure I knew that Indiana was the Fever like

704
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: a month ago, but now I do. And I was

705
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: just curious how Kaitlyn Clark was doing in her debut

706
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: and her home debut, and so I just to I

707
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: checked it probably five times during the course of the game.

708
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: Did I watch the game? No, I wasn't even sure

709
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: where it was. I know it was on television, but

710
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: I was otherwise occupied, but I kept checking in found

711
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: out you had. I think I looked she had thirteen,

712
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: and she had sixteen, finished with twenty one. She's like,

713
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: all right, So I caught myself and it's just I'm

714
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: actually curious to see how she is doing. And this

715
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: is kind of what I told you I would do.

716
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: I did. It didn't make me like rush to the

717
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: set to watch the game, but I certainly was intrigued

718
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: and interested in her performance in a way that I mean,

719
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: the WNBA has never like crossed my mind. I don't

720
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: think since its inception. Not because there's not talented women.

721
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: It's just not my cup of tea. But generally speaking,

722
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: this felt different and I wanted to know how she

723
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: was doing. And I think that that is relevant because

724
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I was the only one very interesting.

725
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I you know, I never really got into the

726
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark fever, no pun intending. You know, I certainly

727
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 2: got into it as we got deeper into the tournament.

728
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,479
Speaker 3: Enjoyed the LSU game.

729
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: I thought you phenomenal in the LSU game and the

730
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: Yukon game, and even the South Carolina game that they lost.

731
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 2: So I'm not the right person to ask, but this

732
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 2: goes back to an important question that we asked during

733
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 2: that tournament run, which is that And I've said, you know,

734
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 2: I don't think the interesting conversation is about what she

735
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: did in college at a certain point. She broke every record,

736
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: great ratings, all that. I thought the interesting thing was

737
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 2: could she be the women's version of Magic Johnson and

738
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 2: Larry Bird who were part of the highest rated ever

739
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: college men's college basketball game, which then equated to them,

740
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 2: you know, changing viewing habits in the NBA, And so

741
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: I am curious. You know, you sent me the article

742
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: before we went on air about people complaining that the.

743
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 3: Debut game for Angel Reese was not streamed.

744
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm not here to play victimhood Olympics

745
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: with the with the WNBA, but I do think it

746
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 2: speaks to there appears to be more people interested in

747
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 2: the preseason, just like there were more people interested in

748
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 2: the draft, just like there were a ton of people

749
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 2: interested in the college basketball regular season and postseason for

750
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 2: the women. So to me, I think it's interesting and

751
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 2: I think it's a story to follow, and I think

752
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 2: there's a lot of layers to it, Kay, and Clark's

753
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 2: got to be good.

754
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 3: She's got to be I think relevant obviously.

755
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 2: If an Angel Reese, if a Camilla Cardoza who was

756
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 2: playing against Angel Reese last night, if they're good, I

757
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 2: think it helps.

758
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 3: But it's one I don't have an answer to. I don't.

759
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 2: I'm just more intrigued by anything. As Like I said,

760
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 2: does she change viewership habits? You know, I think to

761
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 2: your point, she's changed some awareness habits. You were aware

762
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: that she was playing. You wanted to see what she

763
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: was doing. Now I'm curious if it has an effect

764
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 2: once that season starts in the ratings and everything.

765
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't want to labor it and like

766
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, beat the horse or anything like that. I

767
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: don't know that it's a dead horse at this point.

768
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: But I mean, a WNBA has been a punching back

769
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: for a long time. It's never gonna be a league

770
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna tune into those that like it. I'm

771
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: not gonna begrudge you for that, but I don't think

772
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 1: that this is going to change viewing habits. I do

773
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: think that the way that you phrased it is right,

774
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: like interest or curiosity or something to that degree paying

775
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: attention a little bit. Maybe if it's just through articles

776
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: and highlights or something, I could see that. I just

777
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: don't think that it has any kind of I don't

778
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: think that it's something that can be transitioned to a

779
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: bunch of other players. I think there is something unique

780
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: about this and the way that it was built over

781
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: the last couple of years that makes it intriguing in

782
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: a different way. And maybe I'm wrong, and I'm certainly

783
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: not necessarily saying I hope that I am right. I

784
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: just I'm skeptical that there's anything past the Caitlin effect here,

785
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: even though boy are they going to try everything in

786
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 1: their power to do that. I don't mean the league

787
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: the league should be doing that, but those that have

788
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: some investment on the television side, I be writing a

789
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: lot of articles about all these other women that you

790
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: should be paying attention to alongside Caitlin Clark. Just don't

791
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: think that that's gonna land.

792
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 6: Well.

793
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that sets up the interesting conversation

794
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: that we had previously, which you brought up a great point,

795
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: which is that the Caitlin Clark story wasn't really just

796
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 2: about Kaitlyn Clark. It was the fact that, you know,

797
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 2: you beat South Carolina in the Final four. South Carolina's undefeated,

798
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: going from back to back national championships. Then you lose

799
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 2: to LSU with the Angel Reese back and forth, you know,

800
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 2: Kaitlin Clark tonks ree, Andre Rees taunts her, whatever. Then

801
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 2: you have the full season follow up where all of

802
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 2: those main characters are back. Don Staley's back, Kim Moulke's back,

803
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: Angel Reese is back, Caitlin Clark is back, and.

804
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 3: You know, and we'll see.

805
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 2: But one, I obviously don't think like Angel Reese is

806
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 2: going to become I don't think she's the type of

807
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 2: player that will become like a prominent rival of Caitlin Clarks.

808
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 2: I mean, she was the seventh pick in the draft,

809
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 2: so that kind of tells you very good pro, probably

810
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 2: not a superstar.

811
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 3: So I'm with you is I think there will be intrigue.

812
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 2: I think certainly if Kate Caitlin Clark continues to have success,

813
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 2: she will be a focal point. But as you said,

814
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 2: and as I'll say as well, I'm just not sure

815
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: that it has a trickle down effect where all of

816
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 2: a sudden, we're interested in the entire league or a

817
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 2: bunch of other players outside of Camclark.

818
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you, I mean, and I think that's okay.

819
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: And we'll see and there's gonna be some that are

820
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: that will be invested in it and good for the

821
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: league whoever they're able to draw out of this. The

822
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: Caitlin side of this has me interested just to see

823
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: how it goes, to see to see whether or not,

824
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: to see what the story becomes as she goes into

825
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: the into this phase. And I, you know, I don't

826
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: think it's a bad thing that people like me are

827
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: now paying attention to one person at the very least.

828
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark.

829
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 2: By the way, one more preseason game this coming week

830
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 2: and then she opens her w NBA career against the

831
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 2: Connecticut's Sun. May fourteenth, Fox Sports radio eritors Jason Martin,

841
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: the way to go back to last hour. I'm on

842
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 2: YouTube right now and one of my suggested playlist songs

843
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 2: is a Christina Aguilera song. So if you thought I

844
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 2: was making up me being on a Christina Aguilera kick,

845
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 2: get another thing coming to you.

846
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: But Jason'd some research. By the way, did.

847
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 3: You know that that was what that song was about?

848
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: What?

849
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

850
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 2: It makes sense now, yeah it does well, you know listen.

851
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: I mean so I think it came out in ninety

852
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 2: seven something like that. I would have been twelve years old.

853
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 2: I just like the way it sound. It was just

854
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: a jam. It was just cool and you just sing along.

855
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 2: And I was listening it.

856
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 3: Was so random.

857
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 2: Was on at the gym probably about four years ago,

858
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: and I was just singing along because it's an easy

859
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: song to sing along to. And I was like, wait, what,

860
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 2: Wait a second, now, I didn't I didn't know what

861
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 2: she was talking about. And what was funny was for

862
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 2: some reason, probably about a year and a half two

863
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 2: years ago, I was on these Fox Sports airwaves with

864
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 2: George Reister.

865
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 3: And this song came up. And this is Genie in

866
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 3: a Bottle.

867
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 2: We were talking about the Shay Gilles Alexander chet Holmgren

868
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 2: commercial if you missed it in an hour one And

869
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 2: I only bring it up because we were talking about

870
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: all these Christina Aguilera songs Genie in a Bottle and

871
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 2: so for some reason George Reister and I were talking

872
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: about I said, you know, George, it's about you know,

873
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: a special moment in you know, a young person's life.

874
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 2: And he's like, no, no, it's not and then he started,

875
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 2: we played it on air, started singing the song. He's like,

876
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, Yeah, I did not pick up on that. So,

877
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 2: you know, we're all about the same age. And when

878
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 2: it came out, it was just a fun song to

879
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 2: sing along too. And then you kind of, you know,

880
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 2: several years later you kind of figure out what it's

881
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 2: about you. So anyway, yeah, well that's said, let's switch gears, uh,

882
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: and let's talk a little bit about some of the

883
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: other NBA stuff, as Monci just told us last night

884
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 2: or excuse me earlier, Well, I guess it was technically

885
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: last night if you're on the East coast, but Saturday

886
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 2: night in Denver Game one, the Minnesota Timberwolves take care

887
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 2: of business against the Denver Nuggets. They win that game

888
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 2: thanks to Anthony Edwards forty three points in that one,

889
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 2: one oh six to ninety nine. Do want to go

890
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 2: ahead and go back to last night, Jason, We could

891
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 2: kind of whip around some of these other stories and

892
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 2: conversations in the NBA. I find the Clippers thing fascinating though,

893
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 2: and I don't think that anybody is really surprised how

894
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 2: this ended, you know, we you know, listen, I mean,

895
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 2: Kawhi has always hurt, Paul George never seems to come

896
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 2: up big in the playoffs. You and I none, neither

897
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 2: of us are fans of the of the James Harden

898
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: experience pretty much anywhere, but Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.

899
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 2: They end up on Friday night, excuse me, they end

900
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 2: up losing to the Dallas Mavericks. The series is over

901
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 2: and now this team that you know, there was so

902
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 2: much hype. I was telling you, Jason before we got

903
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 2: on air. Kawhi actually signed with the Clippers on my

904
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 2: wedding night. And that was the same night that Paul

905
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 2: George got traded. And I remember it was just a

906
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: huge thing and everybody at the wedding is kind of

907
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 2: looking at their phones and what's going on, And oh

908
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: my god, we didn't even know Paul George was available.

909
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 2: And Kauie at that time was coming off the NBA

910
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 2: Finals win with the Toronto Raptors. And you think it's

911
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 2: this thing that has changed the Clippers franchise forever, Well

912
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 2: we are now. What is this year one, two, three,

913
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 2: four five? This is year five of the Kawhi experience.

914
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 2: They made a little bit of a run post bubble,

915
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 2: but the last three seasons have not gotten out of

916
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 2: the first round of the playoffs, and it has largely

917
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 2: been a forgettable, frustrating debacle of a situation with the Clippers.

918
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean, you have a lot of talent there,

919
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: but you also have a lot of talent that does this,

920
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: and you laid it out. I actually think Harden's been

921
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: better for them than I thought he was going to be.

922
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: But you get to the playoffs and this is what

923
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,439
Speaker 1: you get from James Harden. It's what you've gotten from

924
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: James Harden pretty much his entire career. This is why

925
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: I said I would never buy into him until I

926
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,800
Speaker 1: actually saw him win a championship. I wouldn't think he

927
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: could do it. Maybe he could win a second one

928
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: if I saw him win one, but he's gonna have

929
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: to win one for me to think he can win one. Kawhi,

930
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: I mean what he did in Toronto. Notwithstanding he's kind

931
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: of aloof, he can be a little bit unreliable. When

932
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: they did the Gone Fishing on TNT, he had a

933
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: like leg cast on in the can coon shot, So

934
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean they mock it because it's a thing. And

935
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: then you've heard the playoff Paul George thing and at

936
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 1: moments this has happened, you know where he has stepped

937
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: in and stepped up, but he's never won anything either.

938
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: So really the most accomplished guy on the floor for

939
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: them outside of Kawhi when he is there, is Tyder Lou.

940
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: Like Lou actually has some hardware behind, you know, as

941
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: a player and as a coach, behind everything that's going on.

942
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: So it's just it's a team that is made up

943
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: of really talented pieces, but not talented pieces that have

944
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: proven out to be clutch and big time situations or

945
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: at the very least available for you in all the

946
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: most clutch situations. That being a health thing.

947
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 2: Maazi do you want to hop in and share. I

948
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 2: know you've been on air since basically you know, the

949
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 2: dawn of time here. But Manzi is a big Clippers fan.

950
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: She did four hours with Carrie Rhodes earlier in the day.

951
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,720
Speaker 2: But as a Clippers fan is somebody who watches pretty

952
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 2: much every game. What was your takeaway last night and

953
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 2: also the series as well?

954
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, I, as I said earlier today, this was one

955
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 6: of the most annoying losses that I've experienced as a

956
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 6: Clippers fan.

957
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 5: And there's plenty that.

958
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 6: You know, we could talk about all the three ones

959
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 6: that we were up and ended up losing the series, Yeah,

960
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 6: those hurt, but this one was really annoying. And that's

961
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 6: the word because it just felt like they didn't care.

962
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 6: It felt like they weren't trying. It felt like they

963
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 6: did not know that it was win or go home.

964
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 6: And watching your players look like they don't care is

965
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 6: really frustrating.

966
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 7: You know.

967
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 6: It's like we can mention the Lakers. The Lakers, Yeah

968
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 6: they lost, but many they were in it. They tried

969
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 6: and they wanted it. Other issues happened where they let

970
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 6: Leeds go, but like they were in it and they

971
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 6: wanted to be there.

972
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 2: Seventy six ers, absolutely the same thing. Yeah, they lost,

973
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 2: but it was competitive.

974
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 5: It was competitive.

975
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 6: And then the Clippers like were really good in game

976
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 6: one and they give you this hope that, oh, it's

977
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 6: going to work out. Then Kawhi Leonard comes into the

978
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 6: mix when I don't think he should have played game two.

979
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 6: Definitely should not have played Game three. But I don't

980
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 6: understand how that just changed the whole momentum of things.

981
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 6: And five games five and six, it was like, y'all.

982
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 5: Don't even want to be there. You're embarrassing.

983
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 3: But here's the other thing. You win Game four on

984
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 3: the run almost hid the series.

985
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 6: Up, I know, almost losing a thirty one point lead

986
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 6: right Like again it was Jeck goll and Hyde. I

987
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 6: did not know which Clippers team was gonna show up,

988
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 6: and unfortunately five and six nobody showed up. The only

989
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 6: players that showed up the entire series were Norman Powell

990
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 6: and Russell Westbrook, who was struggling. He was emotional because

991
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 6: after Game one he struggled and he was, you know,

992
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 6: not handling his emotions well. But at least it looked

993
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 6: like he cared, unlike everybody else. I just was like, I,

994
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 6: what do we why are we going through these motions?

995
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 5: It's it sucks.

996
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 6: If you were not going to fight for this position

997
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 6: or to be here, then why why do this to

998
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 6: us during the regular season? It was a very annoying loss.

999
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 2: And why I wanted to bring you in is I

1000
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 2: wanted to ask you about the future. And Jamar absolutely

1001
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 2: chime in on this, but we'll start with moncism. Like

1002
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 2: the whole concept was, besides this new era, you're opening

1003
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: a new building next year, and and so it's like,

1004
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 2: you know, nobody expected a championship whatever. But but first

1005
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 2: of all, to j Mart's point, there was a stretch

1006
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: was yeah, where you're.

1007
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 6: Like twenty five and six or something.

1008
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 2: And you're like, Okay, maybe this team is you know,

1009
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: maybe James Harden has changed whatever. B So I guess

1010
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 2: my question now is I think, if I'm not mistaken,

1011
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 2: Paul George is a free agent. James Harden can be

1012
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 2: a free agent or something because of the contract. But

1013
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 2: my guess is you're probably gonna try to run it

1014
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 2: back because you're opening this new arena.

1015
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 3: Am I crazy to say that?

1016
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 9: No?

1017
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 6: I think we're also, Yes, I think we're gonna run

1018
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 6: it back, and not because of the new Arena, but

1019
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 6: because of Kawhi Leonard being extended three years. Sure, so

1020
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 6: I think that's what it is. And the extension of Kawhi.

1021
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 6: You know, everybody's like, oh, so you bring fans into

1022
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 6: the new Arena. Let me tell you there's no New

1023
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 6: Clipper fans. We've just been here. Yeah, Like that didn't

1024
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 6: make a difference. We were gonna show up with or

1025
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 6: without Kawhi Leonard, you know what I'm saying, Like that,

1026
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 6: that's that was stupid to say that. And I understand

1027
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 6: the Steve Bahmer has all the money in the world

1028
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 6: and it could be the National Bomber Association, but I

1029
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 6: wish we could start over, but that's not what it

1030
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 6: looks like is gonna happen, at least with the the

1031
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 6: next two years.

1032
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 2: Well, and that was why I didn't understand that James

1033
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 2: Harden trade. Is like people were like, I mean, you

1034
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 2: need something for the new Arena. It's like, do people

1035
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 2: like James Harden, Like, I mean, I know, there's like yeah,

1036
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 2: like there's kids that follow him on Instagram that think

1037
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 2: he's kind of cool, but like, I don't know, and

1038
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 2: j Mart whant to chime in with your thoughts because

1039
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 2: I'm just looking at this right now. To Monzie's point,

1040
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard is under contract through twenty twenty six, twenty

1041
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 2: twenty seven, Paul George can be a free agent in

1042
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 2: this offseason, and also James Harden as well. Yeah, I

1043
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 2: just I find it. I find it fascinating. I find

1044
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 2: it a little bit sad. You and I j Mart talked

1045
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 2: last week about the Suns, how they really have no

1046
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 2: other real options. The Clippers are, you know, they they

1047
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 2: could go in a different direction. But to Monzi's point,

1048
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 2: if you have Kawhi Leonard under contract for three more years,

1049
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 2: you're not gonna just blow it up. I just think

1050
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 2: it's sad and like, I don't really know what else

1051
00:49:58,680 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 2: there's to really add, you know.

1052
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean when I was on with Arnie, that was

1053
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: sad enough. But when I was Arney Game one to

1054
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: come back, the whole thirty one point debacle, but they

1055
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: end up winning the game, I said, Man, if you're Dallas,

1056
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: how bad do you feel right now? Like, yes, the

1057
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: Clippers blew this big lead, but the fact that they

1058
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: still want it, they should lose. If you blow a

1059
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: thirty one point lead, you should lose. And for them

1060
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: to win the game. I was like, how demoralizing is

1061
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: that for Dallas because they had to expend so much

1062
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: energy to get back into that game and still lose.

1063
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: I said, the MAVs are toast and they should have

1064
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 1: been and the fact that they weren't is a gigantic

1065
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: indictment on that team. Like watching that, I sent this

1066
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 1: to you, Aaron, but I was absolutely blown away. So

1067
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,919
Speaker 1: I go to the Athletic before the game on Friday night,

1068
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: like hours before the game, and there's an article up

1069
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: should Paul George join the Sixers'? Like, dude, your team's

1070
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: not even out, Like you haven't even played this game yet,

1071
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:04,760
Speaker 1: you like, has Paul George's representatives already told the Athletic

1072
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,479
Speaker 1: he's out? Like, what are we doing here? I've never

1073
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:11,760
Speaker 1: seen I can't recall before a team has even been eliminated.

1074
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: We were discussing maybe Paul George could go join Joe

1075
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: l Embi. It's like, what, Also, what is adding Paul

1076
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: George to your team ever meant when it comes to

1077
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 1: winning a championship? Like, if you're looking for the missing piece,

1078
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: do we think that's Paul George? In the twenty four

1079
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: to twenty five season, because I'm not so sold on that.

1080
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 3: Dude. It's so funny.

1081
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 2: I have a really good friend who hosts Philly sports talk,

1082
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 2: and I was listening to one of his reaction shows

1083
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 2: when I was walking my dog yesterday and he said

1084
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 2: that exact same thing where you know, his buddy's trying

1085
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 2: to be the voice of RESI. You know, it was

1086
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 2: a two man They're both Philly guys, and his buddy's

1087
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 2: trying to be the voice of Rese. He says, well,

1088
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 2: you know, if this happens, if that happens, what if

1089
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,800
Speaker 2: we get Paul George And my buddy's like, Paul George

1090
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,240
Speaker 2: is a loser too, I don't want He's no different

1091
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 2: than any you know, cause they're coming off a loss

1092
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,959
Speaker 2: where Tobias Harris has zero points, Kyle Lowry has zero points,

1093
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 2: two of their five starters don't even score in an

1094
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:01,959
Speaker 2: elimination game.

1095
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 3: And my buddy was like, I don't want Paul George.

1096
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 3: He's a loser like the rest of them.

1097
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: So, I mean, he's a great basketball player, but what

1098
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: has he ever gotten done in the playoffs? Top?

1099
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 6: No?

1100
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 2: I mean not since he left the Pacers with Hill. Yeah,

1101
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 2: a lot of playoff ls there. Well, the Clippers are

1102
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 2: officially eliminated. It is official, by the way, really quickly.

1103
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 2: And I think you and I have talked about this,

1104
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 2: mancion air, but I don't know that this new building,

1105
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 2: in this new era is going to go the way

1106
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: Steve Balmer wants. So, Jason, I know you don't know

1107
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 2: the setup of LA. I guess anywhere in LA isn't

1108
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 2: easy to get to. But Inglewood, like it'll be next

1109
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 2: to the football stadium. Yeah, like, and the football stadium

1110
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 2: works because it's seven you know, what is it?

1111
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 3: Eight or nine Sundays a year. But I'll tell you this.

1112
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 3: I went to the Thursday night Rams.

1113
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 2: Game and it was a debacle getting down there on

1114
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 2: a Thursday night. And I don't know what I mean,

1115
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 2: I don't I maybe it'll be a success, but it

1116
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 2: just feels like there's gonna be a lot of empty

1117
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 2: game because like I live like I live j Mart,

1118
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 2: probably about fifty or so minutes five oh without traffic.

1119
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 2: The ain't no way I'm going down on a Tuesday

1120
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 2: night or a Thursday night or whatever.

1121
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 3: Maybe if I get a Saturday or Sunday ticket, it's different.

1122
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1123
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 3: Mants. Do you think it's gonna work?

1124
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 6: Like, do you think, yeah, the location is not ideal

1125
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 6: in any way, shape or form. I don't know why

1126
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 6: that was the place that he selected, but in all honesty,

1127
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 6: this guy has the most money, so he's like not

1128
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 6: worried about it.

1129
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 2: It's just a tax right off for him, for real,

1130
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 2: for real, Like, I just think it's hilarious that it's like, well,

1131
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 2: hey man, we had to go get James Harden to

1132
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 2: sell tickets really like ridiculously going to be your ticket seller.

1133
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 6: That was the whole thing. It's like, again, we're not

1134
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 6: getting new Clipper fans. Yeah, Like there's seven of us

1135
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 6: and we've been around the entire time, you know, like

1136
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,720
Speaker 6: we didn't get randomly number eight because of the beard.

1137
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 2: Well no, and I did think that, you know, the

1138
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,280
Speaker 2: Kauhi stuff when it had and I mean what was exciting.

1139
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know Lakers fans.

1140
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 6: You know, we didn't pull any Laker fans to the Clippers.

1141
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:08,479
Speaker 5: If anything, we upset them.

1142
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:08,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1143
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 2: No, I just think about like our buddy Rob Gara

1144
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 2: always jokes about that like, oh, like, oh Clippers are

1145
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 2: going to take over the city and has had zero

1146
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 2: impact it all so exactly anyway, all right, Fox Sports

1147
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 2: Radio Era Torres, Jason Martin. Yes, I by the way,

1148
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 2: I just searched it. It is officially confirmed. They have

1149
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 2: been eliminated from the playoffs. So we are done with

1150
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 2: the Clippers until next November when they will give everyone

1151
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 2: hope for a brief three week winch Ra's.

1152
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: Question, what are you talking about the Clippers? Since you

1153
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: were talking about the Clippers and the Lakers, well both

1154
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: of you. Actually what do you think about Rams Chargers?

1155
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: Because it's the same story. Yeah, we will become a

1156
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: Rams thing. But now you've got the Chargers. But does

1157
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: Jim Harball shift it? Where like a Kawhi Leonard of

1158
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 1: Paul George could not for the Clippers against the almighty Lakers,

1159
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: the Rams don't have quite that much of a foothold.

1160
00:54:56,120 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: Do the Chargers have some opportunity with Harball if if

1161
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: they do something because of kind of the magnetic personality

1162
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 1: that he has in his ability to make headlines, plus

1163
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback like Justin Herbert, do they have a shot

1164
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: to maybe carve more of a piece out of that

1165
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 1: city and take some of what the Rams have built.

1166
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 2: It's a great question, Moncie. I don't know if you

1167
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 2: have any thoughts on it. My only real thought is

1168
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 2: I don't think there's going to be like a band

1169
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 2: of like die hard Chargers because the thing you got

1170
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 2: to remember bout La, it's such a transient town. Like

1171
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 2: you go out on a Sunday, you know there's a

1172
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 2: Steelers bar that's packed to the gills, like you know,

1173
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 2: diehard Steelers fans. I mean, obviously we see the Rams

1174
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 2: and Chargers games when you know, the forty nine Ers

1175
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 2: are in town and it's seventy five forty nine Ers fans,

1176
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 2: or the Raiders are in town or whoever. So I

1177
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 2: don't really know. I think there will be certainly a

1178
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 2: lot of interest, and I think like at least they'll

1179
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 2: like sell tickets and be like they're not gonna have

1180
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 2: problems selling out. But it's more that's a byproduct of

1181
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 2: being the NFL, Whereas like I think we're gonna get

1182
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 2: a lot of Tuesday night games against the you know,

1183
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 2: the New Orleans Pelicans, where there's gonna be you know,

1184
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 2: if it's a fifteen thousand seed arena, there's gonna be

1185
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 2: six thousand people in the arena for the Clippers. But

1186
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 2: I don't think Harrorball's I think Harrorball's gonna create a

1187
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 2: lot of interest. I don't know that he's going to

1188
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 2: create like a generation of people that didn't have a

1189
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 2: team and now are Clippers fans or we're a Rams

1190
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 2: fan whatever like I that I don't probably see happening.

1191
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 5: I agree with you.

1192
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 6: I think he's going to put people in the seats

1193
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 6: that are just football fans because they're interested, not that

1194
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,280
Speaker 6: they're gonna be Chargers fans. Now if he completely changes

1195
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 6: that program, maybe, but at least he's gonna bring in

1196
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 6: just football fans.

1197
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 3: I agree.

1198
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 2: It's interesting, and yeah, it's an interesting conversation. It's it's

1199
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 2: also just interesting. What a debacle the Clippers are so.

1210
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 2: Broadcasting and I from the tyrack dot com studios talked

1211
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 2: a lot of basketball so far. By the way, if

1215
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio weekends. You'll see our podcast there. Jay

1216
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 2: mart and Aaron Torres. So, like I said, talked a

1217
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 2: lot of football or basketball. Was one story that caught

1218
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 2: my eye this week. I think it caught most of

1219
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 2: America's eye this week, and it was conversation around our

1220
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: old buddy Deon Sanders, coach prime in the Colorado Buffaloes.

1221
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 3: So I think everybody knows the deal by now.

1222
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 2: But basically what was interesting was the athletic a you know,

1223
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 2: a year ago. Look, we all know, but Colorado basically

1224
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 2: ran off a million guys from their program when Deon

1225
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 2: Sanders took over the famous conversation of you know, I'm

1226
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 2: bringing my own luggage and it's Louis and whatever it was.

1227
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: I think they ended up with like eighty plus new

1228
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 2: players something like that, and over fifty plus players leave.

1229
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:30,919
Speaker 2: And so I bring it up because the Athletic did

1230
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 2: a story in which they basically just figured out where

1231
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 2: all of the players ended up going and basically kind

1232
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 2: of interviewing some of them about their experiences positive, negative

1233
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 2: or whatever. Well, it was interesting because one player's quotes,

1234
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 2: player named Xavier Smith, he ended up hitting the portal

1235
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 2: and put out some quotes that were shared by the Athletic,

1236
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,919
Speaker 2: including one where he says, I was actually getting mad,

1237
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 2: like tears coming to my eyes because Bro, you never

1238
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 2: even tried to get to know me. He was destroying

1239
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 2: guy's confidence and leaf in themselves. The way he did it,

1240
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 2: it could have been done with a little bit more compassion.

1241
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 2: So that article goes out and that Shador Sanders is

1242
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 2: obviously dionce On, the quarterback says on Twitter, I don't

1243
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 2: even remember him, to be honest, Bro had to be

1244
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 2: very mid at best.

1245
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 3: So that wasn't good.

1246
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:27,919
Speaker 2: And then after that somebody tweeted out stats of this

1247
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 2: kid who ended up at Austin p and Coach Prime

1248
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 2: tweeted out Lord Jesus, basically an insinuation of what are

1249
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 2: we even talking about here? And so I bring it up, Jason.

1250
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 2: It was certainly a story that caught a lot of

1251
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 2: people's attention. Both a player but more importantly, a prominent

1252
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 2: college head coach kind of going after one of his

1253
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 2: former players. What'd you make of that whole story?

1254
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 1: Before I even go there, I actually think being called

1255
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Mid is worse than being Paul terrible. It's true, I'm serious, like,

1256
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: for some reason, it feels like that hurts more Like

1257
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: if you tell me I'm terrible, I can just write

1258
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 1: that off almost about you don't know what you're talking about, right,

1259
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: But if you call me Mid, it's like, I mean,

1260
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: you're all right, but nobody cares. That's true. It feels

1261
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: worse like for some reason, when I am Mid, I'm

1262
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: just ready to fight somebody. If you call me Mid,

1263
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fight you. You're right.

1264
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 2: If somebody was like, oh, Tours, I mean I listened

1265
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 2: to his show, it's it's Mid whatever, I'd be like,

1266
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: oh man, that kind of hurt.

1267
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, if you're right.

1268
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 2: If somebody was just like he's terrible, I'm like, all right,

1269
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 2: I don't really care about that guy or girls a penny.

1270
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 2: But if they're like I listen to me, it was

1271
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 2: just it was Mid, I'd be that would sting a

1272
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 2: little bit more.

1273
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 3: So, that's a great point by you. I hadn't really

1274
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 3: thought of so.

1275
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Like Shador just cut to the bone by saying that,

1276
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: dude must have been mid at best. I'm like, oh

1277
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: my goodness, make a phone call, make sure he's okay.

1278
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's let's do something about this. It's just

1279
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: a bad look. The the Prime experience is gonna have

1280
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 1: its ups and downs, right. The problem for Prime is

1281
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 1: Prime doesn't have time for pleasantries and he doesn't have

1282
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: time for like tact and some of those things. That's

1283
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: not how he played, that's not how he was on TV.

1284
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: This is just kind of who he is. This is

1285
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: this is sort of the experience that you get with him.

1286
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: He's more unvarnished. He's from a time that was more unvarnished,

1287
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: where it wasn't all sunshines and lollipops and rainbows and

1288
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: all this stuff. It was you know, we're gonna tell

1289
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: you the truth and we're gonna try to make you

1290
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: better along the way. I think the hurtful part here

1291
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: is just a lot of what they're saying is true,

1292
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: but it still reads badly because it's like everybody that

1293
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: leaves the program, oh he was a scrub anyway like

1294
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: that that's just that's bad. Like eventually, if you're a parent,

1295
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: that's not somewhere you necessarily want your child to go,

1296
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: just because it doesn't seem like the most positive environment.

1297
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: You don't want to You don't want a child to

1298
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: be coddled. You don't want a child be sheltered. You

1299
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: don't want to be You don't want a child to

1300
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: be told they're good when they're not, and then they

1301
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: never improve. You want them to grow. And if it

1302
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: takes a little bit of tough love, then that's understandable.

1303
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: But there's something about I think that just the way

1304
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 1: it's done sort of in an inconsiderate manner, And we've

1305
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: got to stop doing so much of this stuff on

1306
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: social media. I understand that it's now the public square

1307
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, and all this stuff so much

1308
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 1: gets lost context, nuance, everything gets lost here. Like I mean,

1309
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 1: what Shudeur said, there's not any context. He calls somebody

1310
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: mid like that's like shooting someone's dog like that. That's rough.

1311
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: But I just there's so much of this stuff gets

1312
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: hashed out on there and everything gets blown out of proportion.

1313
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 1: I think this whole story got blown somewhat out of proportion.

1314
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: But I think it is a function of where we

1315
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: find ourselves in twenty twenty four, where when you speak

1316
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: critically about someone, you have committed some kind of horrifying crime.

1317
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 3: So I agree with that.

1318
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Jason, I actually have a couple

1319
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 2: thoughts to piggyback off of. We'll continue this conversation next.

1320
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,479
Speaker 2: Before we do, though, let's toss it over the news desk.

1321
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 2: Mazi Belanios, what is trending at twelve thirty Eastern time?

1322
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 6: Twelve thirty Eastern time, it seems like I've been awake

1323
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 6: for twenty four hours. We do have boxing going on,

1324
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 6: and I think it's still going on round twelve between

1325
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 6: Carnelo Alvarez and Jim Mungia. So they're going the distance, fellas.

1326
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 6: I'll keep you updated on this fight. In the NBA,

1327
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 6: the Timberwolves took Game one from the Nuggets one oh

1328
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 6: six to ninety nine.

1329
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 5: Anthony Edwards forty three points.

1330
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 6: Carl Anthony Towns after the game he had twenty points

1331
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 6: in the victory. But after the game he was asked

1332
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 6: about the Big three, and I loved his response. He said,

1333
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 6: we actually have a big fifteen. I love that yeah,

1334
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 6: because it's true. It wasn't just them. Three six men

1335
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 6: of the Year nasried off the bench sixteen points fourteen

1336
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 6: of them in the fourth quarter. But that's such a

1337
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 6: great response from Carl Anthony Towns. After missing two plus

1338
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 6: seasons with the knee injury, Chicago bullsguard Lonzo Ball has

1339
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 6: exercised the twenty one point four million dollar player option

1340
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 6: on his contract for the twenty twenty four to twenty

1341
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 6: five season. Mavericks big man Maxi Kliba is expected to

1342
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 6: miss the rest of the postseason after suffering a full

1343
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 6: dislocation of the AC joint in his shoulder in last

1344
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 6: night's game six went over the Clippers in Major League Baseball.

1345
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 6: Three home runs for Max Munsey and the Dodgers. They

1346
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 6: were all over the Braves at home. Eleven to two

1347
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 6: was the final score. And then show hel Tani with

1348
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 6: another record.

1349
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 2: He swings hits a high drive, deep bright field way tack.

1350
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: It is gone.

1351
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 2: Jo Heltani now has more home runs than any other

1352
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 2: Japanese born player that's been a Dodger.

1353
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: He just passed his manager, Dave Roberts.

1354
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 6: And five to seventy LA Sports on the call, do

1355
01:04:57,720 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 6: you guys know what's going on with Shoho Tani and

1356
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 6: Roberts and a toy Porsche car.

1357
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: I just saw saw that story.

1358
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 5: He saw that.

1359
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 6: So when they told Showhy that he was on the

1360
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 6: verge of breaking this record, I guess there was like

1361
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 6: a joke in the media where.

1362
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 5: They were like, are you gonna give him a gift?

1363
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 6: Because remember they gave he gave Joe Kelly's wife a Porsche,

1364
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 6: and so the media started this idea and then Joe

1365
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 6: Ananchoe Kelly. Then Shohio Tani went over to Dave Roberts

1366
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 6: and gave him a toy car Porsche. Now that he

1367
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 6: has broken the record, everyone's like, oh, are you gonna

1368
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 6: get my real Porsche?

1369
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 5: He says maybe.

1370
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,439
Speaker 2: He says maybe, But I like how he has eight

1371
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 2: home runs so the record was seven.

1372
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,959
Speaker 5: For the Dodgers. Yes, yeah, I figured.

1373
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: He was a toy Porsche because you know, his interpreter

1374
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: ran off with all the mom they.

1375
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 5: Oh really really though.

1376
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 6: The Padres crushed the Diamondbacks thirteen to one, and the

1377
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 6: Mariners blank the Astros in Houston five zero. The Rays

1378
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 6: and the Mets were tied, but Tampa Bay came out

1379
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 6: on top three to one was the final score. Tampa

1380
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:05,720
Speaker 6: Bay manager Kevin Cash franchise record seven hundred and fifty

1381
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 6: fifth win.

1382
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 5: Good for him.

1383
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 6: He got a nice skater eight bath after that, obviously,

1384
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 6: and the A's they blew out the Marlins twenty to four.

1385
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 6: We did have a game seven in the NHL. It

1386
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 6: even went to extra time, but the Bruins beat the

1387
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 6: Maple Leaves two to one was the final score. So

1388
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 6: Boston advances to the next round.

1389
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 5: Back to you guys, Thank.

1390
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 3: You very much, Manzi. Manzi will be back in just

1391
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 3: a few years.

1392
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 6: Oh, Canelo defeats Mungia by decision.

1393
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 2: Just in boxing, Canelo Alvarez has a bad decision.

1394
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, by decision, it went the distance. Okay, there you go.

1395
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 2: Well gain if we get any updates on that one,

1396
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 2: we'll keep you updated. But Canelo Alvarez has one Tonight.

1397
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 2: Fox Sports radio eritors Jason Martin, broadcasting live from the

1398
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 2: TIREC dot Com studios. Again, we'll keep you updated on

1399
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 2: anything that comes out of the Canelo Alvarez fight, as

1400
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 2: that just went final.

1401
01:06:58,120 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 3: Canelo wins by decision.

1402
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 2: Get back to Dion though, Jason Martin, and so this

1403
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 2: is one like this whole story It's just interesting to

1404
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 2: me because I just don't have, like I get basically

1405
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 2: every angle of this art of this story. Okay, I

1406
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 2: sort of feel bad for the kid. I mean, listen,

1407
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 2: I think he wanted to stay, but he wasn't good enough.

1408
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 2: I also don't have very much sympathy for college athletes

1409
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 2: in this NIL era. Everybody wanted. Everybody wanted it to

1410
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 2: be a business. It's become you know, high stakes business,

1411
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 2: and you want to get paid in NIL. That's fine,

1412
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 2: but there are consequences if you don't perform. So I

1413
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 2: don't really feel bad for the kid. I just feel

1414
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 2: bad because I think he just wanted an opportunity. He

1415
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 2: probably didn't get it. I'm not like overly offended by

1416
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 2: what Dion did. I'm certainly not offended boy what Shador did.

1417
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 2: I just think he's a kid. He's on social media.

1418
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 2: You can argue, as a quarterback as the face of

1419
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 2: an organization, is that the best thing for you to

1420
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 2: do is it a good look as you are. Obviously

1421
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 2: you know everything the quarterback does is under the microscope whatever,

1422
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 2: And I think you can argue it's not a great

1423
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 2: look for the coach. But I'm also sitting there same

1424
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 2: way a second now is the kid's talking bad about Dion.

1425
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 2: The kid is getting out his side of the story.

1426
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 2: The kid is trying to make himself a victim in

1427
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 2: some way, shape or form. The kid, listen, he did

1428
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 2: the interview, so in some way, shape or form, he's

1429
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 2: trying to make himself a victim. And I do think

1430
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 2: Dion is allowed to defend himself and his program and whatever.

1431
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 2: And it's just one like, I don't think I really

1432
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 2: have like a strong opinion on it now. I think

1433
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 2: you can piggyback all of it to say, you know,

1434
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 2: if you're gonna talk to talk and you're gonna do this,

1435
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:48,759
Speaker 2: you're gonna do that, and you're gonna you're the coach

1436
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 2: is basically gonna say the kid wasn't good enough to

1437
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 2: play here publicly. You know, at some point you do

1438
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 2: have to back it up on the field. Four and

1439
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,719
Speaker 2: eight in year one, it was, in my opinion, still

1440
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 2: a step forward from where they were. But you I've

1441
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 2: talked a lot of talk, You've created a lot of headlines.

1442
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 2: Now it's time to back it up off the field.

1443
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 2: But it's just one like, Jason, I know you and

1444
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 2: I are paid on these airwaves to have super strong opinions.

1445
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 2: I just kind of see every side of this story,

1446
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 2: and I'm not fired up and I'm not triggered, and

1447
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 2: I'm not angry. I don't know if that makes me

1448
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:21,639
Speaker 2: a boring radio if that makes me a mid radio host,

1449
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 2: if that makes me mid, so be it. I just

1450
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 2: I can't get like super angry about the way anybody

1451
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 2: acted in this situation.

1452
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean again, I just think it's I think

1453
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: it's it lacks tact and it does feel just overdone,

1454
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: like there's not really any reason to go that way.

1455
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: But I mean, the player kind of set himself up

1456
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 1: by saying what he said. Dion wasn't the first one

1457
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 1: to comment. Shudor's comment was the kind of thing that

1458
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: a you know, a young athlete or just a young person,

1459
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,719
Speaker 1: a young college player or a young college student might say,

1460
01:09:57,840 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 1: Like sometimes you just kind of shoot off of the

1461
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 1: mouth and you say something was a dismissive and kind

1462
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 1: of mean. Yeah, it was pretty ugly. I also think

1463
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 1: in sports this kind of stuff is gonna happen. It

1464
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 1: also just happens in life. I mean, you get used

1465
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 1: to it. These are the kinds of things that happen.

1466
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: Like one thing that you figure out as you get older.

1467
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,680
Speaker 1: This is something you don't think about, but you know

1468
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:23,799
Speaker 1: the person that was in like elementary school, middle school,

1469
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: high school that used to you know, torture you or

1470
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 1: do all these kinds of things, or the one that

1471
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 1: you know sat in the corner was kind of gross

1472
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: and all this, Well, they just grow up and they

1473
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: continue to be. In most cases, a lot of them

1474
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 1: just are the same person. They're just older. That person

1475
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: like that treated you like trash and high school wouldn't

1476
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: sign your yearbook, and you go try to friend them

1477
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 1: on Facebook or something like that, don't be surprised if

1478
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: they don't respond, or if you like treated somebody terribly

1479
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:52,600
Speaker 1: and you guys didn't get along, don't all of a

1480
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 1: sudden think, oh, yeah, everything's gone. Twenty years later, like

1481
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: everything still sits there. So I just kind of look

1482
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: at it and just say it's probably something you'd want

1483
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 1: to have back. It's not the best look for you

1484
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 1: if you're should do or it's not the best look

1485
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 1: if you look for you if you're dion. But I

1486
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: ultimately don't know how much difference it makes, because you

1487
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: know this player generally speaking, I mean, he was mid

1488
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 1: we didn't know who he was. Uh, he had his

1489
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: feelings hurt and he decided to go public with that

1490
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: and that backfired on him.

1491
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's the part is like I just and

1492
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 2: I do think there is Like it's tough because I

1493
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 2: do think that like Dion, like he is allowed to

1494
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 2: defend his program in his way of doing things. I

1495
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 2: just don't think this was the best way to do it.

1496
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 2: You know, it's tough, right, I mean, and I said

1497
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 2: this to somebody this week, is like, you know, look

1498
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 2: like you kind of just said to lead the segment.

1499
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 2: Is you know, you and I are kind of uh

1500
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 2: front facing people in some way, shape or form.

1501
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 3: You know, we're in a public form.

1502
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 2: We have our opinions out there, and sometimes people disagree,

1503
01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 2: and and you know, like I don't think any of

1504
01:11:59,920 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 2: us in this building or in this business have a

1505
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 2: problem when people disagree with something that we say.

1506
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:08,600
Speaker 3: But I'm sure you've experienced it. I know I have.

1507
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 2: Is that if people don't like something you say about sports,

1508
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 2: they take it to another level and start questioning you

1509
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 2: as a person, you as a.

1510
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 3: Human being, You're who you are, what you're about?

1511
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,520
Speaker 2: DA DA D This and that, and then you're like, well,

1512
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 2: you can't just say whatever you want about me, and

1513
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 2: I deserve to be able to defend myself. And I

1514
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 2: guess that's kind of how I feel about Dion is

1515
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 2: you know, he is trying to run a program and

1516
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 2: he is trying to recruit kids, and you know, you

1517
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 2: want to talk negatively, that's fine, but I'm also gonna speak.

1518
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 3: My version of it as well.

1519
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 2: So we're just kind of going in circles on this one.

1520
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 3: Don't think it was the best look.

1521
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 2: Don't have a problem with Dion defending his program, but

1522
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 2: just not sure this was the best way to do it.

1523

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Aeron Torris, Jason Martin broadcasting live from

Speaker 2: There is a segment called a cording to Mansi, so

1535
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:39,679
Speaker 2: we brought in, according to Manzi, here on a Saturday.

1536
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 5: Night technically Sunday on the East.

1537
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 2: Coast, technically Sunday on the East Coast. But whether it's

1538
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 2: Saturday or Sunday, get it. According to Manzi, Chris Taylor

1539
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:51,480
Speaker 2: is the luckiest guy in the world.

1540
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:53,839
Speaker 5: The luckiest guy in the world.

1541
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:58,640
Speaker 6: He has been touched by an angel. Chris Taylor is

1542
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 6: batting seventy eight that's right, zero seven eight. He should

1543
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:08,639
Speaker 6: not be on any MLB roster, but lucky for him,

1544
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 6: the Dodgers are fine.

1545
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 5: They're winning, they're thriving.

1546
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 6: He is so lucky that nobody is paying attention to

1547
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 6: his stat line because again, did you hear me, he's

1548
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 6: batting seventy eight.

1549
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 5: You and I could buy.

1550
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:28,560
Speaker 1: You and I could seven Not that bad o.

1551
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 6: No, that's not it. It's not seventy eight percent. It

1552
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 6: is zero seven a. He is the luckiest guy. He

1553
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 6: needs to buy a car for Andy Paz. He is

1554
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 6: that prospect that the Dodgers brought up about a month ago,

1555
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:44,759
Speaker 6: who is kicking, but in the outfield taking names. Batting

1556
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 6: average three thirty eight, four home runs, twelve RBIs like

1557
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 6: he honestly, Chrystailler needs to go buy a lottery ticket

1558
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 6: because I cannot believe that nobody is really diving into

1559
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 6: how much he is struggling. He should not be on

1560
01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 6: a roster yet he is, and I know he's a

1561
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 6: fan favorite, Lucky Lucky Chris Taylor.

1562
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 9: According to Monsey, umpires continue to ruin the game.

1563
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness. You know, this year, more than ever,

1564
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 6: I have realized how much we need robot umpires, And

1565
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 6: today I feel like that even more. Aaron Judge, for

1566
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 6: the first time in his career, was ejected in the

1567
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 6: seventh inning over a strike a third strike call, and

1568
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 6: he didn't do anything.

1569
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 5: Guys. If you guys haven't seen it, he.

1570
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 6: Literally just looks at the umpire, maybe says a word,

1571
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 6: but he's literally walking to the dugout.

1572
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:36,640
Speaker 5: There's no confrontation, he's not yelling, there's.

1573
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 6: Nothing at all that he did and he gets thrown out.

1574
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 6: And this is my problem with umpires and refs. It's

1575
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 6: like nobody comes to.

1576
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 8: See you, nobody cares about you, and you're gonna throw

1577
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 8: out Aaron Judge in the Bronx when he did nothing

1578
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 8: except maybe look at you because he disagreed on a

1579
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 8: third strike call.

1580
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 5: That is his right to do that.

1581
01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 6: He was literally walking to the dugout and got this

1582
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 6: is my problem. This is why I don't want umpires anymore.

1583
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 6: Bring on the robot umpires. I'm over this, Ryan Blakeney.

1584
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 6: Nobody was there to see you, not one person. And

1585
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 6: now I know your name, and that's a problem. If

1586
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,880
Speaker 6: I know an umpire's name besides Angel Foster, that is

1587
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 6: a problem.

1588
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 3: Well, and this is on the heels of Cording.

1589
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,679
Speaker 2: I was gonna say real quick, it's on the heels

1590
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 2: of Anthony Edwards.

1591
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,679
Speaker 1: That's about to say the same thing until months Fisher

1592
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: being the guy's name, Like, we.

1593
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:28,719
Speaker 5: Should not know these names.

1594
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 2: We should not Knowing to Monsey, Marris having too much

1595
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 2: fun back there, sh is I gave her the power.

1596
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 3: Okay.

1597
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:40,799
Speaker 9: According to Monsey, the Kentucky Derby is the most overrated event.

1598
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I hate the Kentucky Derby with the passion. I

1599
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 6: know that it is a tradition. I understand that, but

1600
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 6: these horses do not want to do this. They don't

1601
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:51,760
Speaker 6: want to be injected with all the stuff you're injecting them.

1602
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 6: They don't want to die, they don't want to break

1603
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 6: a leg. And I know it's tradition, so you know what,

1604
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 6: get together in this very expensive event.

1605
01:16:58,360 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 5: That's what it is. Is like people just want to

1606
01:16:59,920 --> 01:17:00,679
Speaker 5: go to be seen.

1607
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 6: That's the only reason you're doing this. You know what,

1608
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 6: keep the Kentucky Derby, Go ahead and dress up, pay

1609
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 6: the thousands of dollars. But why don't you have humans race?

1610
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 1: Do that?

1611
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 5: Bet on the humans.

1612
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 6: Leave these poor horses alone that do not deserve this.

1613
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 5: The minute they break a leg, they're done. And you

1614
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 5: know that they don't tell us the truth.

1615
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 6: We don't really know what's going on with these horses

1616
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 6: behind the scenes, so I can only imagine how they're

1617
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 6: being mistreated just for what for you to dress up

1618
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,799
Speaker 6: and bet on them. I'm so over the Kentucky Derby.

1619
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 6: I don't care how long it's been around and that

1620
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 6: it's a tradition. We need to move on from it.

1621
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 6: Just because it's a tradition doesn't mean we should keep

1622
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 6: doing it.

1623
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 3: I'm over it one d and fifty a month. I

1624
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 3: can move on, Jamar, Have you ever been on the

1625
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 3: Courdier for months.

1626
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: No, I almost covered it every month, like everybody around

1627
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,680
Speaker 1: here basically covers it. Well, that's why I hear you, Like,

1628
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I lived and went to school in Kentucky

1629
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: as well. I know a ton of people that Derby

1630
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: Week is a big time thing and all this. Nah,

1631
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,680
Speaker 1: not really, And I'll tune in for that one and

1632
01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 1: a half minutes and I did again today. But like

1633
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: when you're showing me all the celebrities and all this,

1634
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 1: I don't realize I'm old because one of the two,

1635
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 1: like a few of the celebrities they showed, I'm like,

1636
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 1: I have no idea who you are, Like, your name

1637
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: doesn't ring a bell to me. I don't. Oh there's

1638
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 1: Jack Carlow. Okay, yeah, I know who you are. Who

1639
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 1: is this Alex person that they showed me at the end?

1640
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: And why does everybody have a veil on their hat?

1641
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,000
Speaker 1: Who died other than the horses next week?

1642
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying.

1643
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,719
Speaker 6: It's like it let people just go to be seen

1644
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 6: when they probably don't even know the terrible things that

1645
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 6: these horses are going through. It's like if we were

1646
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 6: to educate the masses on exactly what they're going through

1647
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 6: what's being injected in them and how they die, because

1648
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 6: you can't if a horse breaks their leg, there's no

1649
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 6: way to rehab them. It's very you just can't. That's

1650
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 6: like the human thing to do. But is this humane

1651
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 6: at all? Like it's not people race and then bet

1652
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 6: on them. I'm over it, over it.

1653
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:53,679
Speaker 3: That was according to Mansi.

1654
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:55,919
Speaker 1: That's right, according to Monsey.

1655
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 3: You're fired up tonight.

1656
01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:58,439

01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 3: By the way, thank you.

1661
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 2: I had it on the background while I was doing stuff.

1662
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:10,960
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I actually did kind of miss the race,

1663
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 2: so I know it was good. Congrats to Mystic Dan,

1664
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 2: but it wasn't paid too close attention anyway.

1665

Speaker 2: Game one.

1688
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this.

1689
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 1: You know.

1690
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 2: You and I I think we're fair, but we can

1691
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 2: at times be critical of the NBA, how certain stars act,

1692
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:36,799
Speaker 2: load management whatever.

1693
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 3: I'll say this even before we get into Nuggets T.

1694
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 1: Wolves.

1695
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 2: Obviously everybody knows by now T Wolves one six ninety nine.

1696
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:45,679
Speaker 3: I was real.

1697
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 2: I found myself really excited about this matchup coming in

1698
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 2: because I think they're I just think they're you know.

1699
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 3: And it's not a knock on.

1700
01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 2: The stefs or the whatever's, but like we've seen the

1701
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 2: Steph thing, We've seen even the Lebron ad thing for

1702
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 2: four or five years now.

1703
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 3: It's like I was just intrigued.

1704
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:06,800
Speaker 2: We know about the Nuggets, they of course won the

1705
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 2: NBA title last year, but as we discussed an hour one,

1706
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 2: I thought this was an interesting matchup for them because

1707
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 2: of Minnesota size, Anthony Edwards emerging star. Nuggets, of course

1708
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 2: are the defending champions. I just found myself really intrigued

1709
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 2: by this series coming into Game one on Saturday.

1710
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. And it lived up to it certainly.

1711
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 1: You know, T Wolves kind of exploded a bit late,

1712
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:31,719
Speaker 1: but it was a game that was very compelling and dramatic,

1713
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 1: and you had big time plays on both sides. You

1714
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 1: had some crazy athletic stuff coming from multiple guys on

1715
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: each team. It was physical, they were battling out there.

1716
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 1: You could just tell that both these teams deserve to

1717
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 1: be there, and both of them thought they could win,

1718
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 1: and t Wolves not afraid, And I think it's because

1719
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 1: they are now. I think before I think the problem

1720
01:21:56,200 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 1: with the t Wolves in years past is the pulse

1721
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 1: of the team. The fuel that the team ran on

1722
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 1: was Karl Anthony Towns and now it's Anthony Edwards. And

1723
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 1: there's a difference in his mentality from Cats. Not that

1724
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 1: Cat's not an outstanding player, but there's something about the

1725
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: personality of Anthony Edwards where that dude is going to

1726
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 1: war and you're gonna be with him, and he takes

1727
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: you alongside, and everybody on that team I feel like

1728
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 1: plays tougher because of his lead, and I think that's

1729
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 1: the crucial factor for them. But you're right, like, no

1730
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 1: longer is it. You know, it's not the boss fight

1731
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 1: to beat Golden State anymore. It's not the boss fight

1732
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 1: to beat Lebron James anymore. We've got to have some

1733
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 1: new stuff out there, some new blood, and that's what

1734
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 1: you've got here. The only thing I didn't like about

1735
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: this was going in. I kept reading all of these

1736
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:54,759
Speaker 1: articles that were this is going to be an instant classic.

1737
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:57,640
Speaker 1: The whole league can't wait for this. It's like, don't

1738
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: media manufacture this. Let this naturally become a thing, because

1739
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,720
Speaker 1: it will be. If this thing is good, then everybody

1740
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,679
Speaker 1: is going to pay attention. They're gonna by word of mouth,

1741
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 1: by the time you get to about game three or

1742
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: game four, everybody is gonna be intrigued by this. You

1743
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 1: don't have to like brand this in advance. We haven't

1744
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:18,759
Speaker 1: seen this yet. Let's make sure it's a thing before

1745
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 1: we try to make it a thing. Now that we've

1746
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: seen a game, now we can get somewhere because you

1747
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 1: beat the defending champions on their home floor, something that

1748
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 1: hasn't been done in a couple of months by anybody,

1749
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:34,679
Speaker 1: And honestly, looking at it, if if the t Wolves

1750
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:36,639
Speaker 1: were to win the series, I don't think anybody should

1751
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: be surprised, not after watching this, because there was nothing

1752
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:41,680
Speaker 1: about this that felt like some kind of aberration that

1753
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:44,120
Speaker 1: can't be duplicated. This all looks like it could be

1754
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 1: run back in game two, Game three, Game four, and

1755
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:51,559
Speaker 1: just as easily. You know, Yoki is likely to adjust Malone,

1756
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 1: the really good coach. The Nuggets are gonna play better

1757
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:57,360
Speaker 1: than they played, but the t Wolves are going to

1758
01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 1: be right there with them the entire time, the two

1759
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 1: really good basketball teams. And I hope this thing goes

1760
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 1: seven because it'll be a pleasure.

1761
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1762
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards with forty three points in this game. In

1763
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 2: the game one, win Nasried the sixth Man of the

1764
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 2: Year in the NBA sixteen points fourteen in the fourth quarter,

1765
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 2: including his own personal ten oh run. So it was unbelievable.

1766
01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 2: And I think that's my big takeaway Jason, is you know,

1767
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 2: first of all, I actually thought of you a little

1768
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 2: bit during this game because one of your sayings that

1769
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:29,120
Speaker 2: you've coined through the years is that there's no such

1770
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:32,720
Speaker 2: thing as a championship window. It's you just when you

1771
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 2: have the chance, you have to take advantage of it.

1772
01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 2: And I was thinking about that because one listen, I

1773
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 2: don't think anybody was handing the Denver Nuggets anything, but

1774
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:44,720
Speaker 2: I do think we all kind of looked last year

1775
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 2: and said, well, you know, Jokich, Murray, Porter, all these

1776
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 2: guys are young. They're either in their prime or on

1777
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 2: their way up. But it's funny, right, I mean, you know,

1778
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:58,719
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray is clearly not one hundred percent. I believe

1779
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 2: the stat was this was first ever playoff game that

1780
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 2: he's played where he went a half without scoring, did

1781
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 2: not score the first half, finished with seventeen in the game,

1782
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,559
Speaker 2: so obviously had a great second half. I just bring

1783
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:13,160
Speaker 2: it up because I thought of you, because I think

1784
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 2: not necessarily coming into this series, but I think after

1785
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:20,519
Speaker 2: the championship last year, you think that this group has

1786
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 2: probably a four or five.

1787
01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 3: Year window where they can do some real damage.

1788
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 2: Now you look at it, and you know this series

1789
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:30,679
Speaker 2: is far from over, let alone, you know, years to come.

1790
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:33,559
Speaker 2: But all of a sudden, that team that looks so

1791
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 2: invincible a year ago really largely running through the playoffs

1792
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:41,519
Speaker 2: pretty unchallenged, I mean, swept the Western Conference finals, win

1793
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 2: the finals four to one. Now you look at it,

1794
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 2: you say, as exactly as you said, Jason is because

1795
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 2: of the size of Minnesota, because of the bodies they

1796
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 2: can throw at Jokic, because frankly, Jamal Murray isn't quite

1797
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. Like I don't listen, I don't know

1798
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 2: that I'm ready to hand the series to Minnesota yet.

1799
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 2: But as I said an hour one, as you just said,

1800
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:04,760
Speaker 2: there was absolutely nothing fluky about that game one win

1801
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 2: for Minnesota.

1802
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you say he's not quite healthy. I

1803
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 1: mean I think Barkley said he's on one leg out there.

1804
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 1: Basically if you look at that, the problem I think

1805
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 1: that the doubt that Denver's gonna run into in this

1806
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,920
Speaker 1: series is the amount of minutes that Joki is gonna

1807
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 1: have to play because of Depth's concerns, but also just

1808
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:26,200
Speaker 1: because I mean, he was all that I mean, and

1809
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 1: Porter made a couple of big shots for them earlier.

1810
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: Porter's gonna have to be good pretty consistently for them.

1811
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 1: But you look at some of these other guys, they're

1812
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: getting banged around by the size Like KCP, I'm not

1813
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: sure this is gonna be a great series for him.

1814
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon's another guy that's got to be good, and

1815
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 1: he's got to be physical. He's got to use his

1816
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 1: athleticism and use his defense as well, and he did

1817
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:51,879
Speaker 1: at times. But I mean, nobody was stopping Anthony Edwards,

1818
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:54,400
Speaker 1: not on this night, and we're gonna see how that

1819
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 1: plays out for the remainder of the series and how

1820
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 1: they adjust to how they try to attack him. But

1821
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes there's no great defense for perfect offense,

1822
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: and that that's kind of what we saw for the

1823
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:06,439
Speaker 1: most part from him. Is he going to be that

1824
01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 1: efficient every night? Probably not. I don't think that Minnesota

1825
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: is going to just tear this series apart. But at

1826
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:18,759
Speaker 1: the same time, watching this revealed some things about Denver

1827
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 1: that I'm not sure are fixable, yet, Like, I don't

1828
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:25,759
Speaker 1: think that you can make enough adjustments necessarily to overcome

1829
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,800
Speaker 1: all of this. So can you outlast it? That's what

1830
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 1: it is. It's going to be a war of attrition.

1831
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:32,679
Speaker 1: It's going to be a struggle. It's going to take

1832
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 1: a lot out of whichever team wins it. And that

1833
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 1: might be a really good thing if you're the other

1834
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 1: two teams playing in a Western conference.

1835
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 2: We haven't talked too much about that yet, but I

1836
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 2: would say this is listen.

1837
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:45,760
Speaker 3: I think the.

1838
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 2: MAVs, to their credit, taking care of business last night

1839
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:55,200
Speaker 2: in La Okase, obviously with their successful run against New Orleans.

1840
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 2: But I think whoever wins this series, barring you know,

1841
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:01,639
Speaker 2: any further injuries or whatever, I think matches up pretty

1842
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 2: well to potentially go to the finals. And I think

1843
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 2: that's one thing that's kind of a net positive for

1844
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:09,719
Speaker 2: the NBA is you know, you and I and everybody

1845
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 2: that does this has talked about it, but you know,

1846
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:14,519
Speaker 2: kind of this playoffs kind of being that turning point,

1847
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 2: inflection point where we're getting a new, you know, new

1848
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,679
Speaker 2: crop of guys. Right, Kadi's out, Steph's out, Lebron's out,

1849
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 2: Kawhi Harden Paul George out and I think you look

1850
01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:28,639
Speaker 2: at the West and it's either gonna be Anthony Edwards,

1851
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:32,120
Speaker 2: the rating champ, you know, Anthony Edwards in Minnesota, the

1852
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 2: reigning champ Minnesota, the raigning champ Denver Nuggets, Luca and

1853
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 2: the MAVs, or this young ascending OKC team, which I

1854
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 2: don't know that I think they can win two more series.

1855
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 2: But I think even if it's not them, any of

1856
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 2: those three teams either have the defending champions and maybe

1857
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 2: but a burgeoning dynasty in Denver or two just really

1858
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 2: dynamic rising stars in Luca and in Anthony Edwards. And

1859
01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:58,840
Speaker 2: I think, even though I know that maybe this year

1860
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 2: it takes a ratings hit, it I think it's important

1861
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 2: for the league to establish that next generation of guys.

1862
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 2: And I just think the way that this is breaking,

1863
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:07,639
Speaker 2: I don't think there's really a bad team that could

1864
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:09,599
Speaker 2: make it out of the West for the NBA this year.

1865
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 1: No, that's right, And you mean you have you have

1866
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 1: stars that are gonna be there for a while no

1867
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:15,760
Speaker 1: matter who it is it comes out of there. You

1868
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:18,800
Speaker 1: got the guys in their prime pretty much on all

1869
01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:20,960
Speaker 1: of these teams. One thing I do want to mention

1870
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,799
Speaker 1: and this is this one's gonna come out of left field.

1871
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:26,960
Speaker 1: I think I don't think you're ready for this. Oh okay,

1872
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 1: not with our history in the way that we've talked

1873
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 1: on this show. I think we I don't know how

1874
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 1: to say this. Kyrie has actually worked.

1875
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I was thinking about this during

1876
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:43,879
Speaker 2: that series. He's just been quiet.

1877
01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, like he's not he's not in the news for anything.

1878
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:49,120
Speaker 1: Like he's just playing basketball and he's playing it well.

1879
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:53,599
Speaker 1: I am. I'm almost willing to say I was wrong,

1880
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:58,800
Speaker 1: Like I I can't believe it. But it's working out

1881
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:03,120
Speaker 1: better for him then for Kevin Durant or for James Harden,

1882
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 1: no doubt, Like it's crazy to me, like him and Luca,

1883
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:10,679
Speaker 1: that shouldn't work. Kyrie's out here cutting an interview after

1884
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 1: they beat the after they beat the Clippers, saying, this

1885
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:16,759
Speaker 1: is a selfless group of guys. This is Kyrie Irving

1886
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 1: We're talking about somehow, Like he's just dialed in and

1887
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 1: playing team basketball. Like where did this come from?

1888
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:25,960
Speaker 3: It's amazing. No, I was thinking about that during the series.

1889
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 2: The opening round series against the Clippers is like there's

1890
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:31,960
Speaker 2: just been no drama no off the court. And I

1891
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 2: think the other thing too is there's been a focus

1892
01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:39,600
Speaker 2: on basketball, and I think no one's ever questioned his

1893
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:43,400
Speaker 2: natural not natural. He's worked at it very hardly, very

1894
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 2: hard clearly, but nobody's ever questioned his gifts. What has

1895
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 2: always been questioned is his commitment to basketball. I mean,

1896
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:53,639
Speaker 2: you know, during all the COVID stuff, I mean, listen,

1897
01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:57,080
Speaker 2: the vaccine, it's his body, whatever. But I bring it

1898
01:30:57,160 --> 01:31:00,439
Speaker 2: up because there were plenty of other instant and says

1899
01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 2: where you know, he just wasn't showing up, Like I

1900
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:06,160
Speaker 2: just vividly remember there was something that happened and like

1901
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 2: he showed he showed up on a random zoom for

1902
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:14,799
Speaker 2: like some town hall meeting or something like during the season,

1903
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:20,400
Speaker 2: and it's just, you know, it's always been it feels

1904
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:24,639
Speaker 2: as though, and this is here you go. January twelfth,

1905
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:30,479
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, Kyrie Irving sits on a campaign zoom.

1906
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:34,439
Speaker 3: Let me make sure I get this right with former.

1907
01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:36,600
Speaker 3: I can't even read it, but it was he was

1908
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:37,040
Speaker 3: on a.

1909
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:41,639
Speaker 2: Zoom during a game that the Denver Nuggets were playing,

1910
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 2: or that the the Brooklyn Nets were playing at the time.

1911
01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 2: And it's like it just feels like there just there's

1912
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:53,040
Speaker 2: been times where just doesn't feel like he can like,

1913
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:56,320
Speaker 2: like I always say, like it's okay to have interest

1914
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:59,599
Speaker 2: outside of like your sport, Like you know, Lebron always

1915
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:02,519
Speaker 2: says it's more than basketball. But like you criticized Lebron

1916
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:06,560
Speaker 2: for a lot, but nobody questions his actual dedication to basketball.

1917
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 2: And I think with Kyrie, there has been a lot

1918
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:12,880
Speaker 2: of questioning about his actual dedication to basketball on top

1919
01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:15,600
Speaker 2: of all the other stuff, in all the other circumstances,

1920
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:19,439
Speaker 2: and it's just been like stunning to me just just

1921
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 2: how quiet it's been.

1922
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:24,400
Speaker 3: It has worked. The Mavericks are playing well.

1923
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:26,840
Speaker 2: By the way, I remember this, Jason, Remember how the

1924
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:29,599
Speaker 2: mav season ended last year. Yeah, they had a chance

1925
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:32,599
Speaker 2: to get in the play in tournament, And I mean,

1926
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:35,200
Speaker 2: can you say they rested their starters on the last

1927
01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 2: game of the regular season, because you can't say they

1928
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 2: rested with the whole offseason was coming. But they basically

1929
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:43,640
Speaker 2: tanked game eighty two to not make the play in

1930
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:46,280
Speaker 2: to keep a draft pick. And it's like, oh, by

1931
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:47,720
Speaker 2: the way, I think the draft pick ended up being

1932
01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:49,720
Speaker 2: Derek Lively. He's been pretty good for them this year.

1933
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:51,960
Speaker 2: So you go on it on down the list. I

1934
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:55,759
Speaker 2: am stunned, and I'm with you. I give credit to Kyrie.

1935
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:58,439
Speaker 2: We've both been critical, and I will readily admit he

1936
01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:01,680
Speaker 2: has been He's you know, he's just done everything that

1937
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:03,560
Speaker 2: has been asked of him, and I give him a

1938
01:33:03,560 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 2: ton of credit for it.

1939
01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's weird, Like I mean, you think

1940
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 1: about that that triumvirate in Brooklyn. Durant not really going

1941
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:12,920
Speaker 1: real well in Phoenix, I said last week, and I'm

1942
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 1: still on record he will not be in a sun

1943
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:19,760
Speaker 1: j uniform beginning of next season, probably because he's going

1944
01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:22,080
Speaker 1: to force the trade or there's gonna be problems again.

1945
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:24,639
Speaker 1: Then you look at Harden. Maybe it was a little

1946
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:26,640
Speaker 1: too tough there. It's going worse for Durant than the

1947
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 1: other two guys. It's going worse for Durant than it

1948
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:31,519
Speaker 1: did for Harden, and it's gone a little better for

1949
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 1: Kyrie than it has for Harton. I think Harden has

1950
01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:35,840
Speaker 1: been like I said, we said he was better with

1951
01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:37,760
Speaker 1: the Clippers than we thought, even though he's out in

1952
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:41,519
Speaker 1: the playoffs again. But he kind of didn't cause any

1953
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:45,000
Speaker 1: trouble or too much either that I saw. But Kyrie

1954
01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 1: has just played basketball and helped out the basketball team.

1955
01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:53,559
Speaker 1: And that's it. Like there's nothing else coming from that

1956
01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:57,840
Speaker 1: at all. And lo and behold, what does that also help?

1957
01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:00,560
Speaker 1: It helps the fact that they are still playing basketball

1958
01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:03,799
Speaker 1: like they're about to play in another playoff series. Luca

1959
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:06,320
Speaker 1: has a guy that he can rely on to go

1960
01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:08,639
Speaker 1: out there and get forty sometimes if he needs that.

1961
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,719
Speaker 1: It's just it's fascinating to me because I was sure

1962
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:16,719
Speaker 1: that that was gonna be a miserable failure, and last

1963
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:19,439
Speaker 1: year I was right. But boy has not gone that

1964
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:20,760
Speaker 1: way this year, by the.

1965
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:22,760
Speaker 2: Way, as we said a minute ago, And you know,

1966
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 2: I think I'm looking at the odds now the Thunder

1967
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:29,479
Speaker 2: probably not surprisingly because they do have their own MVP

1968
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:32,639
Speaker 2: candidate in shake gilges Alexander, and they have home court advantage.

1969
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:33,719
Speaker 3: They are a slight favorite.

1970
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:37,559
Speaker 2: But for a one to four matchup, uh one five matchup, really,

1971
01:34:37,640 --> 01:34:42,000
Speaker 2: I it is, the odds are essentially even. So it

1972
01:34:42,040 --> 01:34:45,679
Speaker 2: feels like Vegas feels pretty good about these these MAVs

1973
01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 2: making a run in that series. And again it is

1974
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:51,599
Speaker 2: a credit to Kyrie Irving, who has really just focused

1975
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:55,759
Speaker 2: on basketball and been really, really really good. Obviously, MAVs

1976
01:34:55,920 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 2: and the MAVs and the Oklahoma City Thunder are one series.

1977
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:07,040
Speaker 2: They will tip off here starting on Wednesday or Tuesday night.

1978
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:10,120
Speaker 2: It looks like they will play Game one in Oklahoma City.

1979
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:15,960
Speaker 2: Denver and Minnesota played Game one on Saturday, with Minnesota

1980
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 2: winning Game one one.

1981
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:18,240
Speaker 3: Oh six ninety nine.

1982
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:21,200
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio ertors Jason Martin, broadcasting live from the

1983

1984
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:27,879
Speaker 2: Do you want to revisit the big story from Friday?

1985
01:35:28,520 --> 01:35:31,840
Speaker 2: Darvin Ham out as the Los Angeles Lakers head coach.

1986
01:35:33,240 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 2: I'm just not sure who the heck is gonna replace him,

1987
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:37,599
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure who would want to replace him.

1988
01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:41,040
Speaker 2: We'll discuss that next Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back everybody,

1998
01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:07,800
Speaker 2: off Air Jason. We talked now want a little bit

1999
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 2: about the Los Angeles Lakers needing a new head coach.

2000
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:14,720
Speaker 2: Darvin Ham was fired on Friday, and we kind of

2001
01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 2: talked about it from the Darvin Ham perspective, basically, should

2002
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:19,839
Speaker 2: he have been fired?

2003
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:21,759
Speaker 3: Is it really his fault?

2004
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:23,840
Speaker 2: And of course he made the Western Conference Finals in

2005
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:26,640
Speaker 2: year one year two by the way, they were in

2006
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:28,719
Speaker 2: every game against Denver, but it was just a bad.

2007
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 3: Matchup for them.

2008
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:31,639
Speaker 2: What I want to do now is kind of move

2009
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:35,719
Speaker 2: this conversation ahead because we've seen the list of potential

2010
01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:39,599
Speaker 2: candidates we talked earlier, tylu I just can't imagine Steve

2011
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:41,959
Speaker 2: Balmer is just gonna let him walk to the Lakers.

2012
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:45,760
Speaker 2: Money is of no object obviously to Steve Balmer, and

2013
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:47,439
Speaker 2: then you start getting into some of the other guys

2014
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:49,800
Speaker 2: and it's like, well, JJ Reddick's never been a head coach.

2015
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:53,599
Speaker 2: I think Budenholzer would be crazy to take this job.

2016
01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:57,880
Speaker 2: And it just leads me to the question of let's

2017
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:00,639
Speaker 2: just talk out what the Lakers are right now. Is

2018
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,680
Speaker 2: you have a thirty nine soon to be forty year

2019
01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 2: old star and I think you can debate if Lebron

2020
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:09,439
Speaker 2: is even the best player on the team is at

2021
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:12,400
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis whatever. But you have a forty year old

2022
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:18,559
Speaker 2: star that you're building around. And I just and I

2023
01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:20,880
Speaker 2: said it two weeks ago, I said it earlier in

2024
01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:23,880
Speaker 2: the show. I don't think if Lebron James is your

2025
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:26,200
Speaker 2: best player or everything is at the very least built

2026
01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:28,280
Speaker 2: around him, I don't think you can win a championship.

2027
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:28,960
Speaker 3: I just don't.

2028
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:32,640
Speaker 2: I don't think you can go four series at his

2029
01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:36,200
Speaker 2: age and do what you need to do. So you

2030
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:39,519
Speaker 2: have a guy in Lebron all that's never happy with

2031
01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:43,920
Speaker 2: the coach. The coach is always the fall guy. He's

2032
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:46,639
Speaker 2: forty years old. I don't believe he can just put

2033
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:49,800
Speaker 2: a team on his back and lead them to a championship.

2034
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:51,559
Speaker 2: And I think it's also worth noting something else too,

2035
01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:55,000
Speaker 2: is that you go back to this regular season at

2036
01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:57,960
Speaker 2: thirty nine years old, he played seventy one games. Anthony

2037
01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:01,639
Speaker 2: Davis played seventy six game, which is essentially unheard of

2038
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:06,640
Speaker 2: for him. I just think anybody that has any legitimate

2039
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:10,519
Speaker 2: options would be out of their mind to take this job.

2040
01:38:10,520 --> 01:38:11,840
Speaker 3: I don't think it's desirable at all.

2041
01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:13,439
Speaker 1: What do you think? I mean? I kind of am

2042
01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:15,760
Speaker 1: with you. Because you're not going to get credit if

2043
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:18,720
Speaker 1: you win. I mean you might get you might get

2044
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:21,000
Speaker 1: a very little bit of credit, but you're not gonna

2045
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:23,679
Speaker 1: get much. They're gonna make sure that that credit goes

2046
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:26,439
Speaker 1: exactly where everyone listening knows that it would go to.

2047
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:28,240
Speaker 3: How much credit did Darvin Ham get for going to

2048
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 3: the Western Conference finals?

2049
01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:32,719
Speaker 1: Yeah? Zero, yep, absolute zero. Was still like the fact

2050
01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:34,639
Speaker 1: that they can go to the NBA Finals is probably

2051
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:37,519
Speaker 1: still his fault. But everything that led to that was not.

2052
01:38:38,120 --> 01:38:39,840
Speaker 1: Was he a great coach? I don't think so. I

2053
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:42,120
Speaker 1: don't know that it was a great hire, but it

2054
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:46,400
Speaker 1: was very early in the tenure. I read the reports,

2055
01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:48,639
Speaker 1: and I read the articles, and I read the leaks,

2056
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:51,840
Speaker 1: and yes, there's definitely some stuff there that was problematic.

2057
01:38:52,479 --> 01:38:54,599
Speaker 1: But to say that all of it is on Darvin

2058
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:57,320
Speaker 1: Ham is insane. But I think the larger point is

2059
01:38:57,360 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 1: the bigger point it is is there a worst job

2060
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:03,400
Speaker 1: in the NBA than to coach a team played a

2061
01:39:03,439 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 1: team where Lebron James plays on it? I mean, you

2062
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,519
Speaker 1: think about the laundry list of coaches that he has

2063
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:12,719
Speaker 1: gone through. I mean he even wanted Spolster out yep

2064
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:16,160
Speaker 1: at one point and Spolster's now widely regarded as one

2065
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:18,519
Speaker 1: of the great coaches ever in the NBA. Just what

2066
01:39:18,600 --> 01:39:20,680
Speaker 1: he's been able to do and how long he has

2067
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:23,360
Speaker 1: remained in Miami. I mean, when you've got pat Roway's

2068
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 1: seal of approval for as long as he has, I mean,

2069
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:30,760
Speaker 1: you know how good a coach he actually is. Who

2070
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 1: wants the job, What do you get out of it

2071
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:37,160
Speaker 1: outside of a lion's share, if not all of the

2072
01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:40,920
Speaker 1: blame if it goes south. I mean Anthony Davis, as

2073
01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 1: you mentioned, because he was actually available as much as

2074
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:47,479
Speaker 1: he was during this season, you could even throw it

2075
01:39:47,520 --> 01:39:49,679
Speaker 1: to that. So it wasn't going to go on Lebron

2076
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:53,600
Speaker 1: and look, Lebron played pretty well. I'm not suggesting that

2077
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,400
Speaker 1: he had a bad season, But to assume that now

2078
01:39:56,439 --> 01:40:00,000
Speaker 1: it's all on the coach is just if I'm Budenholz

2079
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:05,160
Speaker 1: or I've already succeeded as a coach, I don't need

2080
01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 1: this on that resume. If you are one of these

2081
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:12,320
Speaker 1: other guys, maybe you're young enough that where you want

2082
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:13,880
Speaker 1: to try this, But I mean, you just saw what

2083
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:15,800
Speaker 1: happened to Darvin Ham. You don't think that's gonna happen

2084
01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 1: to you. I mean, the Reddick thing is interesting to me,

2085
01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:24,360
Speaker 1: first because of selfish reasons, because of what it means

2086
01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:26,120
Speaker 1: to this show if he becomes a coach at the

2087
01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:30,320
Speaker 1: Lakers now, because you're sort of rivalry with him there

2088
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 1: back in the day on X. But the other thing

2089
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:35,719
Speaker 1: is just a few weeks ago, I read an article

2090
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:38,479
Speaker 1: and it was just this unbelievable puff piece fawning over

2091
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 1: this brand new podcast that's the rage and all. That's

2092
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:43,200
Speaker 1: the greatest thing ever. It's just like Peyton Minning and

2093
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:47,000
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant's detail, but it's even better. It's Lebron James

2094
01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:50,960
Speaker 1: and Jay J Reddick. And I was just like, really,

2095
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:53,519
Speaker 1: I must have missed a boat on this, so I

2096
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:55,880
Speaker 1: looked into it. I haven't watched any of it or

2097
01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:58,120
Speaker 1: heard it, but I mean I read some of that

2098
01:40:58,160 --> 01:41:01,000
Speaker 1: stuff and it seemed interesting, and I like xson O's

2099
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,080
Speaker 1: and would like to see some stuff broken down, especially

2100
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:06,280
Speaker 1: by smart guys, and so that was cool. But for

2101
01:41:06,360 --> 01:41:07,960
Speaker 1: him to pop up in the coaching starts, I just

2102
01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:09,559
Speaker 1: kind of laughed. I was just like, of course they

2103
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 1: wrote this article a few weeks ago about this, like,

2104
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:15,160
Speaker 1: of course, because who's picking the coach? We already know

2105
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 1: who's picking the coach. Did you see the article that

2106
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:20,519
Speaker 1: came out middle of the week after him was gone,

2107
01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:24,719
Speaker 1: whereas like the Lakers are going to do everything necessary,

2108
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:27,760
Speaker 1: including give one hundred and sixty one million the max

2109
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:32,479
Speaker 1: that they can to Lebron and draft Brownie to make

2110
01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:35,320
Speaker 1: sure that he doesn't leave. So you're telling me that

2111
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:39,320
Speaker 1: anybody other than Lebron James is gonna be responsible forever coaches.

2112
01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:43,320
Speaker 1: I just I don't see the upside to go into

2113
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: coach there because, as you mentioned, I don't think you're

2114
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna win there, not at the highest level. You're not

2115
01:41:50,200 --> 01:41:52,240
Speaker 1: gonna win a championship there, not against the teams that

2116
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:54,560
Speaker 1: we're seeing growing out of the West alone before you

2117
01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 1: even get to the East as well. This ain't This

2118
01:41:57,439 --> 01:41:59,160
Speaker 1: is not You're not going there to win a bunch

2119
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:02,000
Speaker 1: of championships. You're going there to become a scapegoat. And

2120
01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:03,559
Speaker 1: if you want to get paid to be a scapegoat,

2121
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:05,479
Speaker 1: and you're good with that, that's what you're probably going

2122
01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:07,759
Speaker 1: to end up with, is somebody like that or somebody

2123
01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:10,400
Speaker 1: who wants an opportunity. What you're not going to get

2124
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 1: is a season coach who already knows when he walks

2125
01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:15,800
Speaker 1: in the door exactly what's going to happen.

2126
01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Reddicks stuff is funny to me.

2127
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:21,439
Speaker 2: Listen, you know we've gone over the show some stuff

2128
01:42:21,439 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 2: that he said about me.

2129
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:23,240
Speaker 3: Whatever. I don't really care.

2130
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:28,040
Speaker 2: I just think it's insane that he's a candidate for

2131
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:32,120
Speaker 2: an NBA head coaching job because he's very articulate on

2132
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 2: a podcast.

2133
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:35,000
Speaker 1: And it's actually too he's actually also.

2134
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:37,640
Speaker 3: In the mix for the Hornets. Yeah, I think he

2135
01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:39,120
Speaker 3: interviewed for the Hornets. Yeah.

2136
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:42,479
Speaker 2: And it's just like it's just amazing to me because

2137
01:42:42,520 --> 01:42:44,920
Speaker 2: it's like, well, what was the criticism of Darvin ham

2138
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:47,599
Speaker 2: Well in game adjustments? This that the other thing? Well,

2139
01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:51,280
Speaker 2: how do you get better at that with experience? And

2140
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:54,400
Speaker 2: so I'm glad that JJ Reddick does a really cool

2141
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:57,759
Speaker 2: podcast where they break down film and he sounds really smart.

2142
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:01,680
Speaker 2: It's also like, okay, cool, it's the fourth quarter one possession,

2143
01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 2: like you know, And I don't know, maybe there are

2144
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:07,639
Speaker 2: good examples. I mean, listen, I know a million years ago,

2145
01:43:07,960 --> 01:43:10,720
Speaker 2: pat Riley had basically been an assistant for like a

2146
01:43:10,800 --> 01:43:12,720
Speaker 2: year or two when he got the Lakers head coach,

2147
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:15,240
Speaker 2: and he was awesome. I think Phil Jackson had been

2148
01:43:15,240 --> 01:43:17,639
Speaker 2: an assistant for not a very long time, so it's

2149
01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:19,000
Speaker 2: not as though it can't happen.

2150
01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:21,479
Speaker 3: It's just like the idea of.

2151
01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:25,080
Speaker 2: Going straight from the broadcast booth to an NBA head

2152
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 2: coach and like that's the answer, Like like that's the

2153
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:32,799
Speaker 2: crazy part to me, Like, like to your point, maybe

2154
01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:36,519
Speaker 2: that's the answer for the Charlotte Hornet's Like young team

2155
01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:40,439
Speaker 2: needs some juice, you know, young stars, Maybe they need

2156
01:43:40,439 --> 01:43:42,040
Speaker 2: a young coach to go with it. Okay, I could

2157
01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:45,960
Speaker 2: see that, But to coach Lebron James, who, as you referenced,

2158
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 2: if you read that athletic article from Shams that came

2159
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 2: out shortly after their season ended, it's like it was

2160
01:43:51,120 --> 01:43:55,559
Speaker 2: clearly just the obvious, you know, leaks from Lebron about

2161
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:58,599
Speaker 2: everything that Darvin Ham did wrong. And it's like, so

2162
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:02,719
Speaker 2: now JJ Redick again, because he hosts a cool podcast

2163
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:04,840
Speaker 2: and he sounds smart on first take, is all of

2164
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:06,799
Speaker 2: a sudden gonna have all the answers.

2165
01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:08,519
Speaker 3: It's just so bizarre to me.

2166
01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:12,040
Speaker 2: And then again, if you're a Mike Budenholzer, you've won

2167
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:15,559
Speaker 2: an NBA championship, there's going to be another opportunity at

2168
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:18,160
Speaker 2: some point that's better for you than coaching a team

2169
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:21,680
Speaker 2: led by a forty year old Lebron. James Kenny Atkinson.

2170
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:23,719
Speaker 2: I saw his name kind of thrown around.

2171
01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a guy that's gonna work well.

2172
01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:31,880
Speaker 2: He If anyone makes no sense for them, it's him,

2173
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:35,840
Speaker 2: because he was the guy with the Nets when the

2174
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:37,720
Speaker 2: remember Katie and Kyrie.

2175
01:44:37,439 --> 01:44:38,519
Speaker 3: When they signed with the Nets.

2176
01:44:38,560 --> 01:44:40,800
Speaker 2: Oh, A big part of this was we really like

2177
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:42,120
Speaker 2: some of the stuff that he ran.

2178
01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:44,599
Speaker 3: And then a year later they just.

2179
01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:46,360
Speaker 2: They wanted about so they could bring in their guy,

2180
01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:49,920
Speaker 2: who was Steve Nash, ironically enough, never been a head coach,

2181
01:44:50,479 --> 01:44:51,120
Speaker 2: was a disaster.

2182
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 3: It's just such a weird deal.

2183
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:56,720
Speaker 2: And listen, I just think it speaks largely to the

2184
01:44:56,800 --> 01:45:01,559
Speaker 2: dysfunction across that entire organization, where you know, everyone's mentioned

2185
01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:02,760
Speaker 2: all the head coaches.

2186
01:45:02,479 --> 01:45:03,880
Speaker 3: They've had through all these years.

2187
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:07,160
Speaker 2: I think they've given up too much control to Lebron

2188
01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:10,679
Speaker 2: at his age. It's one thing when he's twenty nine

2189
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:13,320
Speaker 2: and he's going back to Cleveland or whatever, and he's

2190
01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:16,320
Speaker 2: getting you in the mix every year. They're not even

2191
01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:20,160
Speaker 2: close right now, and I just it's just so strange

2192
01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 2: to me. And again, I just I don't know how

2193
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:25,720
Speaker 2: if you're an NBA head coach with any future, I

2194
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:27,599
Speaker 2: just don't know why this is something you would want.

2195
01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:31,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it just it's it sets you up

2196
01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:35,559
Speaker 1: for B plus level for the rest of your career.

2197
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:39,360
Speaker 1: There's there's nothing advantageous about it at all. Maybe you

2198
01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:42,639
Speaker 1: can get Doc Rivers because that was a mistake. Maybe

2199
01:45:42,640 --> 01:45:45,000
Speaker 1: maybe you can get him to coach another LA team.

2200
01:45:45,680 --> 01:45:48,680
Speaker 1: We talked about Bootenholzer earlier, that dude should still be

2201
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:52,479
Speaker 1: on the sidelines for the Bucks. That was that makes

2202
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:55,519
Speaker 1: no sense at all. I don't know why they did that,

2203
01:45:56,040 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 1: but they may have wrecked it possible and I don't

2204
01:45:59,080 --> 01:46:01,360
Speaker 1: like the term, but they may wrecked a championship window

2205
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:03,920
Speaker 1: with that move alone like that. Ever since then, things

2206
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:07,200
Speaker 1: have gone south for that organization. But there was no

2207
01:46:07,280 --> 01:46:09,479
Speaker 1: sense in getting rid of him at all. He was

2208
01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:13,639
Speaker 1: not a problem there, and the fact that he's tied

2209
01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:16,160
Speaker 1: to the Lakers just because he's a name that's out there.

2210
01:46:16,439 --> 01:46:18,200
Speaker 1: If I was him, I would be laughing at home.

2211
01:46:18,200 --> 01:46:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, we're good on this. I'm all set.

2212
01:46:20,920 --> 01:46:21,719
Speaker 1: I'll just stay here.

2213
01:46:22,439 --> 01:46:24,400
Speaker 2: I just it doesn't even make any sense to me.

2214
01:46:24,520 --> 01:46:27,679
Speaker 2: So no, we'll see what happened. Excuse me, We'll see

2215
01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:32,680
Speaker 2: what happens. It has been just fascinating to watch, but

2216
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,479
Speaker 2: I just don't know. And you know, Darvin Hamm. By

2217

Speaker 2: the way, a two year buyout five million a year.

2218
01:46:39,320 --> 01:46:41,400

2287
01:49:59,360 --> 01:50:03,280

Speaker 2: the NFL this week? Odell Beckham headed to the Miami Dolphins.

2289

Speaker 1: stats in front of me, because the first thing I

2292
01:50:16,360 --> 01:50:18,360
Speaker 1: thought about was not what did he do last year?

2293
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:24,479
Speaker 1: It was more just like the personality fit and maybe

2294
01:50:24,479 --> 01:50:27,880
Speaker 1: there's not going to be a problem. But I kind

2295
01:50:27,920 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 1: of look at it and it's just like, man, there's

2296
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:33,479
Speaker 1: a lot of tendency of there's a lot of deva

2297
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:37,720
Speaker 1: tendency with the wide receiver room in Miami. So you're

2298
01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:41,679
Speaker 1: adding Odell to Tyreek Hill and you've still got Jalen

2299
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:45,200
Speaker 1: Wattle as well. So and I'm not necessarily saying anything

2300
01:50:45,240 --> 01:50:46,920
Speaker 1: about Wattle here. I mean, we know Hill's got a

2301
01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:48,800
Speaker 1: little bit of a deva tendency to him. We certainly

2302
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,599
Speaker 1: know Odell has a bit of that. Not that they're

2303
01:50:50,640 --> 01:50:52,599
Speaker 1: not dogs and not that they don't play hard. That's

2304
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:54,280
Speaker 1: not what I'm indicating here. I'm just saying, you got

2305
01:50:54,280 --> 01:51:00,200
Speaker 1: a lot of dominant personalities. How is that mix gonna work?

2306
01:51:00,600 --> 01:51:05,000
Speaker 1: And what does it mean to have Odell Beckham junior

2307
01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:07,200
Speaker 1: at this point in his career. He had thirty five

2308
01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:10,719
Speaker 1: catches on sixty four targets last year for five hundred

2309
01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: and sixty five yards in fourteen games played where he

2310
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:19,799
Speaker 1: started six in Baltimore. He had an average of forty

2311
01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:23,960
Speaker 1: yards per game. He's thirty. He was thirty one last season,

2312
01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:28,519
Speaker 1: so he's gonna be another year older. He's now been.

2313
01:51:29,320 --> 01:51:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been in the league a lot longer

2314
01:51:30,800 --> 01:51:33,639
Speaker 1: than people think, honestly at this stage. I mean, he's

2315
01:51:33,680 --> 01:51:36,559
Speaker 1: been in the league now. This will be I guess

2316
01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:39,840
Speaker 1: like his eleventh season, and he missed a year. Of course,

2317
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:42,679
Speaker 1: he had the injury after the season with the Rams,

2318
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:44,720
Speaker 1: and then he came back last year and played that

2319
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:47,519
Speaker 1: played with Baltimore. I don't know what it means for

2320
01:51:47,560 --> 01:51:49,639
Speaker 1: them on the field. I don't know how much they

2321
01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:53,040
Speaker 1: needed at that position either, considering some of their other

2322
01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:56,800
Speaker 1: circumstances and what they already had. But I don't know

2323
01:51:56,840 --> 01:51:59,760
Speaker 1: that adding him isn't going to be a bit of

2324
01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:02,720
Speaker 1: an negative just because there's just a lot of I

2325
01:52:02,760 --> 01:52:04,479
Speaker 1: just looked at it from the outside. You tell me

2326
01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:06,080
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong er, but it just kind of feels

2327
01:52:06,160 --> 01:52:09,360
Speaker 1: like there's there's a lot of dynamite potential down there,

2328
01:52:10,080 --> 01:52:12,479
Speaker 1: and I mean like stuff that could get ignited where

2329
01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:14,800
Speaker 1: it's just the mix doesn't work and it ends up

2330
01:52:14,840 --> 01:52:16,040
Speaker 1: being a real problem.

2331
01:52:16,439 --> 01:52:17,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think three.

2332
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:20,760
Speaker 2: I had three kind of quick takeaways when I saw

2333
01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:23,160
Speaker 2: this news. One, I just I don't think Odell moves

2334
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:26,880
Speaker 2: the needle anymore. Like I saw like people trying to

2335
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:29,200
Speaker 2: make it a really big thing, and I just don't

2336
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:29,960
Speaker 2: think that it is.

2337
01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:31,000
Speaker 1: Two.

2338
01:52:31,200 --> 01:52:35,000
Speaker 2: Listen, I don't blame you know. Tyreek Hill is such

2339
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:37,240
Speaker 2: a difference maker. And I remember saying this the year

2340
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:40,519
Speaker 2: that he left k C. Is like, I think most

2341
01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:45,080
Speaker 2: even really good wide receivers are pretty replaceable. There's only

2342
01:52:45,120 --> 01:52:47,800
Speaker 2: one Tyreek Hill, So I understand why you had to

2343
01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:49,559
Speaker 2: pay him what you did. And why you chose to

2344
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:51,840
Speaker 2: pay him what you did. But when you pay a

2345
01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:54,000
Speaker 2: wide receiver that much, let alone what you're gonna be

2346
01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:59,080
Speaker 2: paying to here down the road, you have to you know,

2347
01:52:59,120 --> 01:53:01,120
Speaker 2: you have to take chance is in a lot of places.

2348
01:53:01,120 --> 01:53:03,640
Speaker 2: And that's what this feels like with Odell. And then

2349
01:53:03,680 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 2: finally to your last point, Yeah, I mean, and you know,

2350
01:53:06,479 --> 01:53:08,679
Speaker 2: it's just it's the cliche of like is the juice

2351
01:53:08,680 --> 01:53:10,960
Speaker 2: worth to squeeze at this point? And I think with Odell,

2352
01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:15,080
Speaker 2: you know, this is a guy that you know, as

2353
01:53:15,080 --> 01:53:17,360
Speaker 2: you just said, thirty five catches this year with Baltimore,

2354
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:21,439
Speaker 2: three touchdowns. This is not you know, twenty fourteen Odell,

2355
01:53:21,479 --> 01:53:24,840
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen Odell whatever. And so how happy is he?

2356
01:53:25,680 --> 01:53:29,360
Speaker 2: And then if he somehow is having success, is it

2357
01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:32,439
Speaker 2: at the detriment of Tyreek Hill or Jalen Wattle, who's

2358
01:53:32,439 --> 01:53:35,040
Speaker 2: obviously an emerging star as well, not even an emerging star,

2359
01:53:35,080 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 2: he is a star. So I guess you have to

2360
01:53:39,000 --> 01:53:41,800
Speaker 2: fill a wide receiver room. I just don't know that

2361
01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:43,560
Speaker 2: this is the move that I would make because I

2362
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,040
Speaker 2: don't think it fundamentally makes you really any better as

2363
01:53:46,080 --> 01:53:48,960
Speaker 2: a team, right, Like, it's just he's another body in

2364
01:53:49,000 --> 01:53:54,960
Speaker 2: the wide receiver room. But I think the the problems

2365
01:53:54,960 --> 01:53:59,599
Speaker 2: that can cause seem to me to be greater than

2366
01:54:00,120 --> 01:54:03,280
Speaker 2: the positive that he's going to bring at age thirty

2367
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:04,400
Speaker 2: one going on thirty two.

2368
01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:07,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, maybe it's going to be fine, and

2369
01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:09,559
Speaker 1: maybe he knows what he is at this point in

2370
01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:13,200
Speaker 1: the a lot of those those tendencies, the superstar stuff's

2371
01:54:13,240 --> 01:54:15,320
Speaker 1: kind of gone after what he's gone through now and

2372
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:17,120
Speaker 1: he's more of a blue collar guy. I know, he

2373
01:54:17,200 --> 01:54:18,880
Speaker 1: was pretty good when he was with the Rams in

2374
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:21,960
Speaker 1: terms of how that went. Now he wasn't there for long,

2375
01:54:22,120 --> 01:54:24,720
Speaker 1: but just he seemed to be kind of dialed in

2376
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:27,720
Speaker 1: there and not in a bad place after being in

2377
01:54:27,720 --> 01:54:31,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland for a few years. So maybe and you didn't

2378
01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:34,000
Speaker 1: really hear anything negative from him last year in Baltimore either,

2379
01:54:34,120 --> 01:54:36,480
Speaker 1: So maybe it's a circumstance where it's fine and he

2380
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:38,680
Speaker 1: just goes in there and contributes just a little bit

2381
01:54:38,720 --> 01:54:42,480
Speaker 1: and he's just another depth piece for them, another potential

2382
01:54:42,520 --> 01:54:46,160
Speaker 1: offensive weapon for McDonald to put out there, and that's

2383
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:50,400
Speaker 1: fine like that. If that turns out to be, that

2384
01:54:50,440 --> 01:54:52,360
Speaker 1: could turn out to work. I just kind of am

2385
01:54:52,400 --> 01:54:54,560
Speaker 1: skeptical that it's going to make much of a difference,

2386
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:57,800
Speaker 1: and I do think that there is a possibility that

2387
01:54:57,880 --> 01:54:59,600
Speaker 1: it could go wrong really quickly.

2388
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:05,880
Speaker 2: NBA Game seven on Sunday at one pm Eastern Time,

2389
01:55:05,920 --> 01:55:10,280
Speaker 2: early tip by the way, Orlando against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

2390
01:55:10,280 --> 01:55:14,320
Speaker 2: This series very interesting from the perspective that the home

2391
01:55:14,360 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 2: team has won every single game. Game seven is in Cleveland,

2392
01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:21,480
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell on Friday night finishes with fifty points even

2393
01:55:21,480 --> 01:55:24,920
Speaker 2: in a loss. Any strong, super strong opinions or takes

2394
01:55:24,960 --> 01:55:28,800
Speaker 2: on this one going into Game seven tomorrow today, not,

2395
01:55:29,240 --> 01:55:29,920
Speaker 2: I mean not really.

2396
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:32,320
Speaker 1: I think either team could win. I mean, Donovan Mitchell

2397
01:55:32,360 --> 01:55:34,520
Speaker 1: had a ridiculous game and they you know, still were

2398
01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:38,840
Speaker 1: not able to finish. I think I think it's likely

2399
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:40,920
Speaker 1: going to be good. I do. I think it's gonna

2400
01:55:40,920 --> 01:55:45,320
Speaker 1: be hard fought and probably close. But I don't have

2401
01:55:45,400 --> 01:55:47,760
Speaker 1: a good sense on one of those teams being better

2402
01:55:47,800 --> 01:55:50,800
Speaker 1: than the other one. I think that they're both They're

2403
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:54,840
Speaker 1: both doing good things, but they're both second tier in

2404
01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:57,520
Speaker 1: terms of you know, where they find themselves right now.

2405
01:55:57,880 --> 01:55:59,760
Speaker 1: So I think you're just watching for the team that's

2406
01:55:59,760 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 1: going to losing the next round really quickly.

2407
01:56:02,240 --> 01:56:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I agree.

2408
01:56:03,360 --> 01:56:06,120
Speaker 2: I think whoever wins it's not gonna be easy against

2409
01:56:06,160 --> 01:56:10,640
Speaker 2: Boston really quickly. We haven't talked at all actually about

2410
01:56:10,240 --> 01:56:12,640
Speaker 2: the you know, the Pacers knocking out the Bucks, the

2411
01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:14,600
Speaker 2: Knicks knocking out the seventy six ers.

2412
01:56:14,640 --> 01:56:15,880
Speaker 3: Now those two teams playing.

2413
01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:19,840
Speaker 2: That series kicks tips off on Monday night, seven thirty

2414
01:56:19,880 --> 01:56:23,000
Speaker 2: Eastern Time. Obviously a lot of history between the Pacers

2415
01:56:23,040 --> 01:56:24,240
Speaker 2: and the Knicks in the playoffs.

2416
01:56:24,320 --> 01:56:26,200
Speaker 3: Just any quick thoughts on that one, Jason, I.

2417
01:56:26,240 --> 01:56:28,680
Speaker 1: Mean, I'm excited for it. You're right, the history is

2418
01:56:28,720 --> 01:56:31,960
Speaker 1: something that's sorely missing right now, and just the rivalry there.

2419
01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:35,640
Speaker 1: I'd like to see it becomes something. The Knicks are

2420
01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:39,200
Speaker 1: really impressing me, and Brunson's really another guy that has

2421
01:56:39,240 --> 01:56:41,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity to really do something, and he's already showing

2422
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:44,840
Speaker 1: that he's capable of doing that. I just I look

2423
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:47,480
Speaker 1: at the Pacers and I wonder if they've already kind

2424
01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:51,680
Speaker 1: of had their year. I think that they impressed, they improved.

2425
01:56:52,000 --> 01:56:53,720
Speaker 1: There gonna be a team to watch in the future,

2426
01:56:53,840 --> 01:56:55,800
Speaker 1: But it seems to me like they've kind of peaked,

2427
01:56:55,960 --> 01:56:58,040
Speaker 1: They've kind of hit where they're supposed to hit. At

2428
01:56:58,040 --> 01:57:00,560
Speaker 1: this point, this feels like a series the Knicks should win,

2429
01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:01,960
Speaker 1: and I anticipate them winning.

2430
01:57:02,080 --> 01:57:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited. And I also think Knicks are a

2431
01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:07,640
Speaker 2: weirdly feel good story. You know, obviously we know the

2432
01:57:07,720 --> 01:57:10,640
Speaker 2: Jalen brunts in history, but all those Villanova guys like

2433
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:13,920
Speaker 2: they play hard, they're coachable, you know, they don't seem

2434
01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:16,920
Speaker 2: to mind tibbs, And I'm with you. I think the

2435
01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:19,720
Speaker 2: series is interesting because I think obviously Indiana's gonna want

2436
01:57:19,720 --> 01:57:22,280
Speaker 2: to play much faster than Philly, and most of those

2437
01:57:22,280 --> 01:57:24,080
Speaker 2: Philly New York games were close, so I could see

2438
01:57:24,120 --> 01:57:26,040
Speaker 2: Indiana giving it, taking a game or two.

2439
01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:27,200
Speaker 3: But I think New York wins.

2440
01:57:28,160 --> 01:57:29,760
Speaker 2: And then you know, if we get a Boston New

2441
01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:33,000
Speaker 2: York series in the Eastern Conference finals, that would be fascinating.

2442
01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:35,600
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, whatever happens in the West is

2443
01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:39,360
Speaker 2: going to be good as well. Denver Minnesota. Of course,

2444
01:57:39,400 --> 01:57:42,680
Speaker 2: Game one was Saturday night. Minnesota takes that one. Game

2445
01:57:42,800 --> 01:57:47,760
Speaker 2: two on Monday night. Jason in twenty thirty seconds or less,

2446
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:51,280
Speaker 2: any strong opinions on game two or what you expect

2447
01:57:51,280 --> 01:57:54,280
Speaker 2: to see when when Denver Minnesota play again on Monday night.

2448
01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if Minnesota were to

2449
01:57:56,360 --> 01:57:58,400
Speaker 1: go up to oh, but this feels like the champs

2450
01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:00,600
Speaker 1: are going to have some metal at Phil. It's gonna

2451
01:58:00,600 --> 01:58:03,280
Speaker 1: be a long series, and one game to the next

2452
01:58:03,320 --> 01:58:05,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna see something where it's like, well, boy, they

2453
01:58:05,400 --> 01:58:07,760
Speaker 1: figure something out and then there's gonna be an adjustment

2454
01:58:07,800 --> 01:58:10,600
Speaker 1: made on the other side. So I expect denverll even

2455
01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:12,480
Speaker 1: the series and take it to Minnesota one one.

2456
01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:16,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough to see them taking both and so yeah,

2457
01:58:16,600 --> 01:58:18,760
Speaker 2: Game two of that series is on Monday night. We

2458
01:58:18,760 --> 01:58:20,040
