They were 58 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: leading going to the final question, which is a thing 59 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: now with my wife's teams on Wednesday, Like, you can't finish, man, 60 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: You're like the Knicks.

I'm like, 63 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: it's a thing. It's a thing, man, it's a thing. 64 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: You gotta finish. 65 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 4: You can't. 66 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: You can't just go out there and be up by nine. 67 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 4: Go. 68 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: You gotta finish. But if Tysher was on the team, 69 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: I think they would have won. I think they would have. 70 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 4: How about that. 71 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: Look, let's talk about this for a second, because it's time. 72 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: It's time for an appreciation moment for a team that 73 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: likely is gonna win the NBA Championship. The Thunder beat 74 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: the t Wolf tonight one eighteen, one oh three, and 75 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: you know, as more time goes on, I sit here 76 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: and go, Wow, the Nuggets. They took the took the 77 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: Thunder to seven. That's amazing. Well, the Hey, the Nuggets 78 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: and maybe David Adaman's maybe that's why David Adaman got 79 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: the interim tag taken off him today and he's now 80 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: the official new head coach of the of the Denver Nuggets. Uh. 81 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: But the Thunder win tonight in a game that it 82 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: seemed like they took the first half and what Minnesota 83 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: was trying to do, and you saw Shay Gilders Alexander 84 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: struggled a little bit out of the gate, and then 85 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: the third quarter said yeah, that's it, We're throwing the 86 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,839 Speaker 1: hammer down. And all of a sudden, the t Wolves 87 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: are looking up and it's a twenty point lead in 88 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and you say, what the hell just 89 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: happened to us? And I'm you know, we talked about 90 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: this last hour on the show. They're up to zip 91 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: over the Timberwolves, the Knicks, and the Pacers. Hopefully it's 92 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: an entertaining series, but I'm telling you, I'm ready for 93 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: the Knicks to lose in four after last night. I mean, 94 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm not great, Bob, I'm not great. But like, 95 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: are either of those teams gonna give the Thunder a series? 96 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: Like at this point, Like if I put the over 97 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: under of games, the Thunder lose the rest of the 98 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: season at two and a half, I'm taking the under 99 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: really because I don't know. I don't know if they 100 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: lose a game here against the t Wolves, either they 101 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: lose one, are they gonna lose two in the NBA 102 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: Finals to either the Knicks or the Pacers, Like, I 103 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: don't I don't know that that's gonna happen. The Thunder 104 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: are terrific, and the thing about them is they are 105 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: an absolutely perfectly constructed team. Like this is a team 106 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: you go through on one of the big NBA video games. 107 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: You're the GM and you say, okay, and you put 108 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: this team together and you just sit back and go, 109 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: I just did it. This is absolute perfection because I 110 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: just put together a team that nobody can beat that. Nobody. 111 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: I put together a perfect team because you're talking about 112 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: a Thunder team that has the NBA MVP and Shay 113 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: Gilgess Alexander two of the great young mega superstars in 114 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: the game. And chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams. Right, Jaylen 115 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: Williams and Night twenty six, ten and five. Chet Holmgren 116 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: had twenty two Tonight. I think all eight of his 117 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: shots were dunks. Right. You have an All NBA Defensive 118 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: Player of the Year in loud Dort, your guy Lou Dort. 119 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: You have a couple of role players in Isaiah Hartenstein 120 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: and Alex Caruso that are NBA Championship caliber players that 121 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: you don't win without these support guys. And oh, by 122 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: the way, just in case things happen, right, guys make 123 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: too much money, Guys want to leave, Guys want to 124 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: go someplace. After a couple of years, the Thunder are 125 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: gonna have between ten and fifteen first round picks in 126 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: the next seven drafts. Okay. Now, a lot of it 127 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: depends on how teams finish and protected drafts. But you're 128 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: talking about this Thunder team between ten and fifteen first 129 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: round picks in the next seven drafts, which is the 130 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: reason why that crazy story got floated a few weeks ago. 131 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't the Thunder just trade like seven first round 132 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: picks to get Cooper Flagg? Like wow, no, no, they 133 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: have the picks. They could trade seven picks and still 134 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: have enough, still have one first round pick per every 135 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: draft the next seven like this, this is a team 136 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: put together in absolute perfection by the Thunder. And you 137 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: sit back and go, I mean you, I mean this 138 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: is a video game. Like you do this in a 139 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: video game and you sit back and go, oh, I'm 140 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: too powerful now, no one can beat me because I 141 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: just did all the right things. And this is actually 142 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: on the court in real life. This is a team 143 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: they've been able to put together. Man, I'm telling you 144 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 1: the Thunder this isn't This is an absolute perfect roster 145 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: with the future where you just sit back and go 146 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: there's nothing to do. There is nothing to do but 147 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: watch my team go play. But watch my team go 148 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: play and win and take home the title. Like that's where. 149 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: That's how perfect the Thunder are. 150 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 4: Dynasty mode gone berserk as it sits right now, right 151 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 4: healthy ched Holmgrin lou Dort, that first team all defense 152 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 4: Wallace up. I mean, you've got guys for days, your 153 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 4: your guy former Nick, now good Hertstein and obviously SGA 154 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 4: just starting to round into his format and he met 155 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 4: all the criteria. Now he'd get that three hundred and 156 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 4: fifty million dollars so he could pay for more rolexes 157 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 4: and he doesn't need to have the extra L or 158 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: double L like we were suggesting after that Nicks loss 159 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 4: yesterday for the rolexes that we won't be getting from you. 160 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 4: But all of that to say, yeah, I mean they've 161 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 4: built an organization and the strategy and approach and it's worked. 162 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 4: You know, you've had some hiccups along the way, guys 163 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 4: missing time, Chet missed some time didn't matter because you 164 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 4: had enough depth to roll through and your boat racing team, 165 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 4: like the number of wins, you know, fifteen or more 166 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 4: points over the course of the year, and certainly now 167 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 4: in the playoffs. It's this distancing themselves from the pack. 168 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 4: And it's now the morbid curiosity of seeing how this 169 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 4: continues to evolve. What Superstar decides, hey, I'd like to 170 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 4: go there, and what the packages look like there. I mean, 171 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 4: it is really an impressive run of what they've been 172 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 4: able to do thus far. Yeah, some of these guys 173 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 4: all need big contracts, but that's when you hit and 174 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 4: reload mode instead of you know, reset, rebuild and all 175 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 4: of those things. So for the NBA right now, and 176 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 4: maybe not on Madison Avenue, right Adam Silver might not 177 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 4: be the happiest guy in the world given what the 178 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 4: ratings were for Game one, and can't imagine games to 179 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 4: game two was any better. And now that you've got 180 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 4: to imply to odds of a ninety five percent win, 181 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 4: I think it's thirty four of the last thirty five 182 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 4: going up two oho of one in advance. So you 183 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 4: got that going for you. The Thunder minus two thousand 184 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 4: right now, oh, Wolves plus nine fifty At least on 185 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 4: your side, you still have a puncher's chance. You're at 186 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 4: forty two percent entry Game two. 187 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: We gotta play tomorrow. Not great, Bob, not great. Uh, 188 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: you know. And the other part of this, when you 189 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: think about how good the Thunder are and here's Shay 190 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: Gildis Alexander and and this is it's a weird thing 191 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: because obviously you and I when we're you know, we're 192 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: doing the show, but we're also beholden to the games 193 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: going on. We're trying to we're trying to keep track 194 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: and do the show at the same time. But like 195 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: this is this is more of a thing that I 196 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: have seen, not just not just nights like tonight, but 197 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: now this has happened a few times where it's it 198 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: shows more to the excellence that SGA has. Is that 199 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: he had thirty eight tonight, right, Like, yeah, he had 200 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: thirty eight tonight, right, And didn't it fit? And this 201 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: is not the first time I thought this, you know, 202 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: watching him in the playoffs with with this. 203 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 4: But oh say, and I know what you're gonna say, didn't. 204 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: It feel like he had a quiet thirty eight? That's 205 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: it right? Like like it's a quat Like it didn't 206 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: feel like and and they're dominating, right, and it felt 207 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: like SGA still has like another level to get to 208 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: if they needed it, like in a tight game or 209 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: like it not. I don't mean a quiet thirty eight 210 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: where like, hey, you know, we scored a bunch of 211 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: his points in garbage time or it didn't matter. I 212 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: mean a quiet thirty eight in which the guy was 213 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: this dominant and it and it still felt like there 214 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: was room between his head and the ceiling because he 215 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: wasn't doing the the you know, highlight reel plays. 216 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 4: Right, it's it's a layup. It's a mid range jumper, 217 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 4: and that was one of the things you look at 218 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 4: their shot chart. Takes a lot and it's a lot 219 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 4: of free throws. He gets to the free throw line, right, 220 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 4: so you so you get a little bit of anger 221 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 4: there because it's a stop. But it's not Hey, this 222 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 4: guy's doing a windmill dunk. Hey, he's lighted it up 223 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 4: from three. He doesn't take a ton of three point 224 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 4: shots like all those things that are splash plays and 225 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 4: the ones that you remember. He may have set them up, 226 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 4: but it's all right. There's home grin with a dunk 227 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 4: off a miss or off of a lob the fast break, 228 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 4: and generally the guy that's that's dishing it doesn't get 229 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 4: a lot of the run, right. The highlight is on 230 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 4: the back end of it. But for for SGA, yeah, 231 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 4: thirty eight points and dare you say, a yeoman like 232 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 4: thirty eight points because he just goes and grinds. It's 233 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 4: something you and I have been hammering on all throughout 234 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 4: these playoffs, is they're relentless, like he keeps attacking and 235 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 4: the way this squad comes at you, he's gonna get his. 236 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 4: But it's not an obvious thing. You look up at 237 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 4: the score sheet and maybe you've lamented the free throws 238 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 4: because you're on the other side, right, you're a fan 239 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 4: of the opposition, Go damn it, make him play, make 240 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 4: him play through it. But for you and I I 241 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 4: mean you're watching, it's like, look, you go with what 242 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 4: brings you the best strategy, whatever job you do, whatever 243 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 4: gets you your best through whatever the output measurement is. 244 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 4: And for SGA, it's setting other teammates up, hitting the 245 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 4: mid range and creating contact to go live at the foul. 246 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 4: I can't vault a good strategy. It won them an 247 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 4: MVP and got everybody rolexes, which he was able to 248 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 4: roll out and say, hey, I need seven more wins 249 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 4: out of you. 250 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: And by the way, I mean, it's it's an absolutely 251 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: perfect roster put together. And when when you can win, 252 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: when your superstar, your MVP has a quiet thirty eight 253 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: and which is like, yes, he's affecting the game, he's dominating, 254 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: but it feels like we could really throw the hammer 255 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: down more if we needed to. Right like that, that's 256 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: kind of where I get from the thunder is that, yeah, 257 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: we can turn them when we have to. Ian As 258 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: more time goes on, more he's like, hey, how the 259 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: hell did the Nuggets take them to seven? 260 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 4: Like, how the hell did they well? But that's the 261 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 4: thing though, right as we talked about a lot, folks 262 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 4: can go back in the podcast, like, think about those games, 263 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 4: how much it was in reality Oklahoma City controlling pace, dominating, 264 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 4: and then they'd have a five minute spurt where everything 265 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 4: went to hell and then all of a sudden, Denver's 266 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 4: back in the game and you had the opportunity to 267 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 4: go and win it. And it takes nothing away from 268 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 4: what the Nuggets did.

Look, Anthony Edwards over under for 466 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: points was twenty three and a half. I go, he 467 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: had a really bad game one where he didn't do enough. 468 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: He's going to be more aggressive in game two. He's 469 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: going over twenty three and a half. He scored thirty one, 470 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: and he went over twenty four going to the fourth quarter.

They're gonna 598 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: go out in four This is how I see it. 599 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: But here's the only silver lining to a man. Last night, 600 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: the Pacers, both right after the game, in the middle 601 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: of the game, and well after the game all seemed 602 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: really self satisfied and loved twisting the knife with the 603 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: win over the Knicks, whether it's Halliburton doing the choke 604 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: sign at the end of the game, the other players 605 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: doing their interviews and laughing in the postgame and Halliburton's laughing, 606 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: and even Rick Carlyle, who doesn't normally say anything bad 607 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: unless it's the officials, even went on to say, Hey, 608 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: what'd you think of Shake, Gil and Shake? What'd you 609 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: think of Tyrese Haliburton's celebration with the choke sign? And 610 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: he said, ah, you know, players do this. Tyrese has 611 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: earned the right to do whatever he wants to do, 612 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: Like like even he is saying, I'm sticking the knife 613 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: in the Knicks right now. The only silver lining I 614 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: have is, Man, if I'm the Knicks and I saw this, 615 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: I am just seeing blood waiting for Game two in 616 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: the rest of this series, not that they would suddenly 617 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: all of a sudden falter because it's the Eastern Conference Finals, 618 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: but any sort of will that they lost. You see 619 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: the Pacers celebrate and do what they did last night, 620 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: like they won Game seven and they went on to 621 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, Like you are making sure that we 622 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: are raising our level of intensity and attention to detail 623 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: because we're sending these blankety blanks home. We're gonna make 624 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,719 Speaker 1: sure that's the last highlight they have in this series. 625 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: And you see the way we come out and the 626 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: intensity we play with and how we play as a 627 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: team tomorrow night, because I watch a team at the 628 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: end last night. Look, Ogano nob had a horrible last 629 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: three minutes. He's allowing Nie Smith to open faces for 630 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: threes and Josh Hart's falling down and they're fighting on 631 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: the sideline with Towns and og and it's like, come on. 632 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: But this is the one thing I will tell you 633 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: is that seeing the Pacers be so incredibly self sad 634 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: and even postgame not back away from it. I get 635 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: them in the moment on the court, I get it, 636 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: but I but even postgame where it's like, hey, it's 637 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: one game. We have a long series here. It's no, no, no, 638 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: we are gonna dance tonight on this. You won game one. 639 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: You won Game one, and yes, you did it in 640 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: a in a fashion in which none of the fourteen 641 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: hundred plus teams that had a lead like this in 642 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: the final minute and NBA history have done it before. 643 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: Everybody else has won. You found a way. But the 644 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: way they they appeared, the way they continued that over 645 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: on the Knicks, that is not That is something that's 646 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: burned in my brain at the front of my whatever 647 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: cortex is in the front of your head, the temporal 648 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: court to whatever whatever court that gets front of your 649 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: cortext whatever that is. That is absolutely what is spurring 650 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: me on the rest of the series. That that's what 651 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: got me out of bed today going, okay, maybe it 652 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: could turn out to be something where after Game one 653 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: the Knicks just had that next level that they got 654 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: to and the Pacers didn't know what hit them. Now 655 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: I say all this and I think back to how 656 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: awful that game was last night and how bad I feel. 657 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: I still think they're getting swept. But that's my silver lining. Yeah, 658 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: A couple of things. 659 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 4: Uh. First off, man.

Coming next, we get back into the 698 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: biggest football story of the day. If you like the 699 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: college football playoff, hey, you're gonna love the fact that 700 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: now it's changing again. Fox Fox Sports Radio The Jason 701 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon and I 702 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: hope you really like the college football Playoff this past year, 703 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: because now it's gonna change. Uh wide success twelve teams 704 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: in the playoff was terrific. We told you two changes 705 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: that had to happen, and this is while the playoff 706 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: was going on, and one of them came true. Today. 707 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: We are now going to have reseating for next year 708 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: as far as teams that are getting buys the top 709 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: four seeds overall because this year was the top teams 710 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: that won their conferences and clearly the weaker conferences, maybe 711 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: they don't deserve to be top four seeds. So what 712 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: the change is and we said, look, it should be 713 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: just like this. If you win your conference, you get in. Right, 714 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: that's a big thing. You win your conference, you're in 715 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: the playoff. But the seeding is gonna be done as 716 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 1: to what the committee thinks are the top seeds like 717 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: like they do it in the NCAA tournament. Right, Hey, 718 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: you won your conference, you're getting in. Doesn't mean you're 719 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: getting a top seed. Maybe you're the nine seed or 720 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: the ten seed. And the top four seeds the overall 721 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: are going to be the top four teams that the 722 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: CFP is going to say these are our top four. 723 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: These are getting buys in home games. Right, it's the 724 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: right thing to do because in theory, it will give 725 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: us closer games next year. Right. We had big blocks 726 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,720 Speaker 1: in the first round because you had you know, Dev's 727 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: like Ohio State playing here. It's like, what's going on here? 728 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: So you're gonna see closer games in the first round 729 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: and the big boys get to sit for you know, 730 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: for a week. And it's a win, Like, it's an 731 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: absolute win for everybody. Like this change today. I don't 732 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 1: know why it took so long. I don't know why. 733 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,399 Speaker 1: It was something that was really debated. Like I saw 734 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: a lot of insight, a saying, yeah, I know that 735 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,359 Speaker 1: they're gonna get together on this. Who's not gonna get 736 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: together on this? Like this absolutely makes sense and it 737 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: came through today. Great change of the playoff. 738 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 4: It's funny because wasn't that kind of what they were 739 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 4: trying to propose over with Detroit and everybody and they 740 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 4: bled it in the NFL. I mean, obviously it's not rankings, 741 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,720 Speaker 4: but it's the same idea, Hey, you won more games, 742 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 4: you get to the front of the line in terms 743 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 4: of playoff seating. Yeah, I mean it's an obvious change. 744 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 4: But when you're trying to hold on to the areas 745 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 4: of your individual fiefdoms as the universe converges here, right, 746 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,919 Speaker 4: you got the power players of the SEC in Big 747 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 4: ten and everybody else still staking their claim. Hey we're 748 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 4: still important. Yeah, you're not as important, so you don't 749 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 4: have quite the same juice. And I think that's where 750 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 4: the fights happen, right, because obviously you're looking at a second 751 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 4: SEC school or a second Big ten school. Add notre 752 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 4: dame to the mix when they have a big run 753 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 4: whatever that you know, those how our plays come into 754 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 4: the next level because they can come back with receipts. 755 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 4: Look at all the revenue we generate, right, that's the 756 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 4: Big ten and SEC's trump card to everything when you're 757 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 4: fighting about the future of the sports, like, well, look 758 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 4: at what we bring to the table in terms of eyeballs, 759 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 4: asses and seats, pack stadiums, television ratings, et cetera. So 760 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 4: that's the inevitable move to it. So any resistance you 761 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 4: would get to be it was, Hey, this is predicated 762 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 4: on that deal. Once upon a time where there was 763 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 4: a Power five and everybody decided to play nice sandbox 764 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 4: at least on the surface to sign off on that, Well, 765 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 4: the rules of engagement have changed for everybody involved, including 766 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 4: player acquisition and retention. So with that, you rip up 767 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 4: that deal and you'd build a new one now. 768 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 1: The only change that needs to be made now because 769 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: this is a great change and it may wind up 770 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: happening in a year because this playoff was just okayed 771 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: for a couple of years, right, and obviously it's a 772 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: huge success. We're not going back to fewer teams. They're 773 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: gonna expand it, right, and they need to expand because 774 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: the biggest question out there is going to be how 775 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: do you deal with teams that make their conference championship 776 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: game and lose, Because once you get to right around 777 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 1: the twelve mark, it's like, boy, we have a bunch 778 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: of two loss teams that aren't making it, and we 779 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: have a bunch of two loss teams that made their 780 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: conference championship. Well, you go to your conference championship and 781 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 1: let's say you lose by three touchdowns, you don't look 782 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: as great because you have three loss I mean, all 783 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: these other teams that have two losses look better, but 784 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: they didn't get to go play like they didn't make 785 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: their conference ship they could have gone to their conference 786 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: championship and lost anyway. So how do you value teams 787 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: that way? How do you say, well, a team that 788 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 1: made it to their conference championship but lost, even though 789 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: with three losses is still better than a two loss 790 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: team that didn't make it. The way to solve this 791 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 1: and it's better you go to sixteen teams, and you 792 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: need to do something where if you make your conference 793 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 1: championship game, you also get in the playoff, right like that. 794 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: That kind of sets it up as well, because now 795 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: you have sixteen teams and the conference. The team's making 796 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: the conference championship, they make it now, and they'll be 797 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,839 Speaker 1: low seeds if you lose, obviously, your wine up gonna 798 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 1: be like, you know, fourteen fifteen seeds, fourteen, fifteen and 799 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: sixteen and something like that. But you let them make 800 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: it and then you still have the at large bids 801 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,399 Speaker 1: for the teams that didn't make their conference championship games. 802 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 1: I think that's the way to settle it. And sixteen 803 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,720 Speaker 1: teams is kind of that sweet spot for the playoff. 804 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great. I think you make it a reality 805 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 4: TV show for those final spots. Though, America, your vote 806 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 4: you got seventy two hours are gonna make off.

You whittle it down in the final four. 814 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 4: Those back end bids boom. 815 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 1: Here's my hey, vote right now, vote for me when 816 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 1: you call them the number, press two, keep hitting two 817 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: and get me there. 818 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 4: You know your team captain has to go out and 819 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 4: sing we are the world.
