21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: lot of conversation about Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Are

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: they the most skilled duo of all time, and they

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: might be that doesn't matter today. They're skilled, but they

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: weren't skillful against the Celtics. Celtics were the best, better team.

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: And you know, Brooklyn sold out for the Big Three

26
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: this year and that look great on paper. They spent

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: over one hundred million dollars in those three players. One

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: of those players is gone. Makes it even harder to

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: compete when you're around looking at thirty million dollars of

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: that tied to a player didn't even play for you

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: and Ben Simmons, Brooklyn now has a long and painful

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: offseason and that should serve as a helpful reminder to

33
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: the teams around the NBA. Starpower is really important, but

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: if you don't have quality depth to support those pieces,

35
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: becoming a serious contender for a championship is going to

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: prove to be very, very difficult. There were a lot

37
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: of things to a drast and we can always talk

38
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: about the Celtics. As you know, we moved forward to

39
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: the second round. This is about the Nets today. The

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: Raptors beat the seventy six ers, MAVs roll the Jazz,

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: but getting swept here and when you went into this season,

42
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: you had the two favorites, Lakers and the Nets. They

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: didn't even win a playoff game. Lakers did even get in.

44
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: That's never happened before, that's unheard of. Now we can

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: look at what's a bigger disappointment, what's a bigger surprise,

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: what's a bigger failure? They're both failures. I mean, Kevin

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: Durant and Kyrie got healthy second half of the season.

48
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: Kyrie came back, he was able to play even though

49
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: he wasn't vaccinated. Thought Ben Simmons was going to play.

50
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons kept giving hints that he was going to play.

51
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: Last Friday, he said, well, I can't play in game three.

52
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: I can make an impact reasonably could play in game four.

53
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: So therefore he's building up his own expectations. And then

54
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: somebody says to Steve Nash, the head coach, Hey, Ben

55
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Simmons says he might be able to play, and Steve goes,

56
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about that. He said, I don't

57
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 1: really know. I just have to look into that game

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: time decision. That's Seaton's Steve Nash person nation. This is

59
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: where a team like this is a mess, because you

60
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: should have one voice on this. That's it. It should

61
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: be Steve Nash, not Ben Simmons, not Ben simmons agent,

62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: not Sean Marks the GM. It should be Steve Nash,

63
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: and Steve Nash should have said a while ago, and

64
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: barring a miracle, Ben Simmons is not going to be

65
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: able to play and have a company line that everybody

66
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: follows that. But here's Ben Simmons taking a picture of

67
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: his sneakers on Instagram. All rights, he getting ready to

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: lace him up. No, I think he's just showing you

69
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: what he's gonna wear on the bench that he could

70
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: play in Game four. Don't say anything like that because

71
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: then when you don't, you look bad. And I didn't

72
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: understand that philosophy. And then watching the press conference and

73
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: I'm always curious, you know what you say your exit interview.

74
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: Here is Kyrie irving on him and KD building this team.

75
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: In terms of my extension, man, I don't really plan

76
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: on going anywhere, So this is added motivation for our

77
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: franchise to be at the top of the league for

78
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: the next few years. And you know, I'm just looking

79
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: forward to the summer and just building with our guys here.

80
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: When I say I'm here with keV, I think that

81
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: it really entails us, you know, managing this franchise together

82
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: alongside Joe and Sean and just our our group of

83
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: family members that we have in our locker room, in

84
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: our in our organization. I think we've just got to

85
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: make some moves this offseason and really talk about it

86
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: and really be intentional about what we're building and have

87
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: some fun with it, making enjoyable, and you know, hopefully

88
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: we get to start from day one just as a

89
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: squad and as a family, and we just really worry

90
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: about us. Okay, I don't want him anywhere near anybody

91
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: who's making decisions like we were building in the off season.

92
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: I would not sign him to that max deal. I

93
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: don't want him. He's spectacular. Oh he's unbelievable, best handling.

94
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: I understand all of those things. Oh he can get

95
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: your forty if he wants. I understand all of that.

96
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: I just want to know, if you want to play,

97
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: what's your priority? Are you going to be available? I

98
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: was hoping they would have this season motivation. He's talking

99
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: about next season motivation. Here is KD talking about, oh

100
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: that elusive word chemistry. So it's a lot of stuff

101
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: that happened throughout the series that just didn't work in

102
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: our favor. But I like the way we tried to

103
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: come together towards the end of the season and salvage

104
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: what was lost, you know, what guys being and jured,

105
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: guy's being traded. Just you know. So once we finally

106
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: got together, we have the mission and wanted to make

107
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs and see what kind of noise we can make.

108
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: And we didn't make any noise, but we got to

109
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Then he was asked about his head coach.

110
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: Is to be clear, do you think that Steve is

111
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: still the right guy to lead this group? Come on, man, Yeah,

112
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Like Steve has been dealt a crazy hand in the

113
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: last two years, had to deal with so much stuff

114
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: as a head coach, first time coach, and trades, injuries,

115
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, COVID, just a lot of stuff you had

116
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: to deal with. And I'm proud of how just focused

117
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: in his passion for us. You know, we all team

118
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: keep developing over the summer and see what happened. Who

119
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: dealt him that hand? Right, management did? And you played

120
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: a role in this. You and Kyrie got James Harden,

121
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: three of the top fifteen players on the planet. Right,

122
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: you just didn't develop any depth. Look at these teams

123
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: in the NBA right now. Look Memphis, New Orleans, some

124
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: of these other teams that have depth. The Celtics have depth.

125
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: That's what you need this time of the year. You

126
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: can have two really good players, but two really good

127
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: players are going to give you, what sixty five points.

128
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: Let's say, well, who's going to provide the other thirty

129
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: five forty forty five? Everybody's you know, getting one hundred

130
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: and ten, one hundred and twenty points. Lake Griffin had

131
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: as many points as I did last night, and as

132
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: many as Ben Simmons last night and Andre Drummond. Yes,

133
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: And even with all that said, every single game was close. Yeah,

134
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like it's not like they got

135
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: blown out every game. It's not. I know, I understand

136
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: that the Nets got swept, but they were Every single

137
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: game was competitive, but they got swept. At least give

138
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: me one at least they made it at least in April. Wow.

139
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: Uh yeah they did. They made it and the Lakers didn't.

140
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: Would you rather not make it or make it and

141
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: get sweat? I would rather not make it. Okay, you

142
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: can put it up there, But okay, if we're going

143
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: to hammer Lebron about oh, you built this team. Now

144
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: you got to take the blame. I got to do

145
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: that to Kevin Durant as well. He wanted Steve Nash,

146
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: he wanted a partner with Kyrie, didn't want to go

147
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: to the Knicks. He was involved in this, and then

148
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: James Harden my body, come on over. Oh you're out

149
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: of shape and you don't want to play here. Okay,

150
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: we'll take Ben Simmons and he doesn't even play at all. Yes, Marve,

151
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: So does this add to Lebron's legacy? I won a

152
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: championship with Kyrie Irving. Maybe we might look back and go,

153
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: how did he win one with that guy? Although Kyrie

154
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: did hit the shot to win that championship. Yeah, Poie,

155
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: you're letting some people off the hook, though, Daniel letting

156
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: circumstances off the hook. In situation I heard, I watched

157
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: the whole press covers last night that's up late and

158
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: Durant Kyrie Irving blamed circumstances and the situation. Who I

159
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: didn't see on the bench or playing in any of

160
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: the series. Is this the guy from the Jersey Shore.

161
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: Maybe the situation the sitch, but circumstances took a lot

162
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: of heat last NIME. I don't know if that means

163
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: he couldn't play half the season. Those are circumstances. He's circumstances,

164
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: or he's situation or Ben Simmons's situation. One is circumstance

165
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: and one is situation. Definitely wasn't their fault. The guys

166
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: who played not their fault. Circumstances and situation. I feel

167
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: like James Harden is one of those two more than Katy.

168
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: Katie did his best this whole season to hold things down.

169
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: I feel like he's baggage. James Harden is. Oh, he's baggage. Baggage, circumstances, situation.

170
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: Give credit to the Celtics defense, because you know, this

171
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: is one of the great in season turnarounds we've seen

172
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: in a long time. A buddy of mine who lives

173
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: in Boston, big Celtics fan. He sent me a long

174
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: email today just telling me how great the Celtics are.

175
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: And the first line is, I said, hey, congratulations, nice work.

176
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: So my friend goes, nice work. One of the greatest

177
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: in season turnarounds in bleep in NBA history, and I go,

178
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: it's a first round. And then He says, the change

179
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: in style of play of Marcus Smart becoming a true

180
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: point guard bleep, and guy thought he was Steph Curry.

181
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: Then he woke up and became Gary Payton. I love

182
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: that line. But he's right because Marcus Smart thought that

183
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: he was a shooter and then he became the defensive

184
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: player of the year. And then you put Tatum in there,

185
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: and you can almost see the confidence with Tatum. You know,

186
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: you still go back to that draft with markul Folds

187
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: and I remember when the scout said, look, the best

188
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: player in the draft is Jason Tatum, but Philadelphia will

189
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: screw this up, and behold, they did. They took markul Folts.

190
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: But Tatum, you know, you start to watch him and

191
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: you're starting to almost see like he's durant and he's

192
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: a great defender. Jaylen Brown and the depth there. They've

193
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 1: done a wonderful job. And then you know, I was

194
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: watching a little bit of the seventy six ers. I

195
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: am always fascinated just body language wise. You know, Joe

196
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: ellen Bead is out there with a fractured thumb. James Harden,

197
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what's broken or damaged or bruised or whatever,

198
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: but He went two for nine over the last forty

199
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: six minutes. When asked if Toronto was forcing him into

200
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: missing shots, Harden said, I took eleven shots. Yeah, that's

201
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: the problem. You took eleven shots and you got an

202
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: injured big man. So if you're not shooting, what are

203
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: you doing? You're not playing defense? Oh yeah, you started?

204
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: You know, we want to anoint. Yeah. I love when

205
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: you get upset. I love how you get up and

206
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: then I'm walking. I'm watching Nick Claxton last night. You're

207
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: doing the thing with your hands in the air. I am.

208
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: I look like Kyle Scharber right now. I'm how can

209
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: these guys I'll shoot like this? I just don't understand you. Here.

210
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: I could go out right now in the man cave

211
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: and you could blindfold me, and I'm gonna guess I'm

212
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: gonna make five out of ten free throws. I think

213
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: gotta take that. You're not gonna go over ten? No, no, no,

214
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: no no, but next looking perhaps, Okay, I'll do that.

215
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: Nick Claxton went one for eleven from the free throw line.

216
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: Clankstonlanton wofse Wow. He shot nine percent from the free

217
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: throw line, the worst single game playoff performance by any

218
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: of any player attempting at least eight free throws since

219
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: Shack went over eight in the nineteen nineteen ninety five

220
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: Conference Finals. Stat of the day, Stat of the day,

221
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: bus stat of the day, stat of the day. Here

222
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: comes that? What stat of the day? Chris Mannocks, who

223
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: has been covering the Net Celtic series, will join us

224
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: coming up the Niners. Shaking off the Deebo Samuel trade talk,

225
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: John Lynch the GM did a press conference in the

226
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: right way, just saying, hey, I don't I don't foresee

227
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: us trading Deebo Samuel. Now that doesn't mean that he

228
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: won't trade him. Remember the Seahawks. Pete Carroll, Oh, I

229
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: can't see a scenario where we're gonna trade Russell Wilson.

230
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: And then he saw a scenario where he good. Oh man,

231
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: am I fired up? I'm fired up? Uh? Let's pull

232
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: question today seton were gonna go with the playoffs questions?

233
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: I'd rather not make the playoffs or make the playoffs

234
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: but gets swept in the first round? All right, okay, yes, PAULI.

235
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: How about this as a poll, would you bet your

236
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: life versus a million dollars that you get one out

237
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: of ten free throws. Let's say there's a bag with

238
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: a million dollars on it and then like a like

239
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: a firing squad. Okay, would you go up there? And

240
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: I know you would. I would see and can shoot.

241
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: Fritzie and I are pretty below average shooters. Marvin can

242
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: shoot flat, but it goes in. I think I bet

243
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: take that bet. My nickname was the firing Squad when

244
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: I was in high school. Yeah, seton, I crumble under

245
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: pressure at the free throw line, and that's without a

246
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: firing squad standing in front of Okay, so I don't

247
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: know about that. What's the over? Under? Made free throws

248
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: blindfolded by me? Three and a half? Okay, is anybody

249
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: going over that? I'll make at least four free throws

250
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: blindfolded during the commercial break. Paul I liked the over.

251
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: I like the over because I, okay, maybe I shouldn't

252
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: know who's taking the over the under, You know what

253
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Maybe you guys write it down, because then

254
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: who knows Mike missed one on purpose. I'm sure this

255
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: will never come to light. You had against me from now?

256
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I can't make five out of ten

257
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: from the free throw line. You know what I want

258
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: to I sound like Peter King from yesterday. Thank you, Marv.

259
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: God love Peter King. But man, you gotta realize you're

260
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: on radio and TV when he's going Peter, come on,

261

303

00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: Did you take the over horse? Marvin? I did? Seaton?

307
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: It's a lock. Todd. I thought you were gonna hit three.

308
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm being honest. I'll be honest. You showed me. I

309
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: thought you were gonna make three, so you can have

310
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: a couple of air balls, but most of them are

311
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: gonna kind of rim out. And you beat that, like

312
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 1: right away over the first four shots. You already at three. Okay,

313
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: next break, Todd shoots ten free throws, eyes open, with

314
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: my eyes open. I do have some know about ten denitis.

315
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to make an ex Okay, I do

316
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: have some left elbows. Stop I do, actually, no, stop,

317
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta surgically repaired. But this is Ben

318
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: Lemons of the show. Yeah, oh yeah. Are you gonna

319
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: be available to shoot the free throws? The circumstances and

320
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: the situations. How did you get ten denitis? I don't know,

321
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: but I have inflammation, but I don't know if it's

322
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: from lifting weights the wrong way. Whatever it is. You've

323
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: been looked right waits the wrong way for thirty years.

324
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: It's finally caught up one eighteen. That's age fifty two.

325
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: Who doesn't not right about my left up? I probably

326
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: have to get next. I'm gonna guess there's other ways

327
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: you got tend nitis, so that's not necessary. Okay. Family

328
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: who diagnosed you with ten to nineties? My brother in

329
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: law and I don't know if I hyper extended something.

330
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: I went over there for gas over last week and

331
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: I pointed to the spot you got to stop little

332
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: tennis elbow stop. Okay. I was third team doubles in

333
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: high school, so you can I can tell, Okay, what's

334
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: the over under and uh who? It's a pie to

335
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: the face if you don't make at least four out

336
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: of ten four that's asking a lot four with your

337
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: eyes open with my eyes up at in my inflamed elbow. Though,

338
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: my god, you make at least three, all right, four

339
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: out of ten or you get a pie to the face.

340
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: So mean, all right, Let's bring in Chris Bennick, Sports

341
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: Illustrated senior writer. Uh. He was at Game four Celtics

342
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: nets last night, covered the entire series, entire series, and

343
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: he joints us. Now, Chris, what's your takeaway from what

344
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: you saw in this series? On the Celtic side, They're

345
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: as good as any team left playing in the NBA.

346
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: You kind of knew that coming into this series because

347
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: of the way they've dominated defensively, the best team in

348
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: the NBA by a country mile, you know since January first,

349
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: buy a lot of metric. Well, you also go, they

350
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: were twenty twenty three and twenty four at one point

351
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: and then they went on a run. Yeah, the turnaround

352
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: has been remarkable. We can get into that, but I'm

353
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: just like, the way they defended Kevin Durant was the

354
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: best I've ever seen Kevin Durant defended in the series, Like,

355
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: and there are mitigating factors for Durant, Steve Nash, how

356
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: he let him Kevin Durant just hang out there for

357
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: forty six minutes in Game three and forty seven minutes

358
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: in Game four. I mean, Dan, how bad must cam

359
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: Thomas be that you can't play him for five minutes

360
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: while Durant's exhausted. Durant missed that free throw at the

361
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: end of the fourth quarter that would have given the

362
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: Nets a chance. And look, the guy doesn't miss a

363
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: lot of free throws. You had to wonder in the moment,

364
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: was it because he was so tired from playing all

365
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: those minutes. But give the Celtics credit. Their defense was excellent.

366
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: Whether it's Jason Tatum, Jayalen Brown, Grant Williams who's emerging

367
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: in this playoffs as a terrific defender. They are as

368
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: good as it gets defensively in the NBA. And that

369
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: defense is transferable. You can play that defense on anybody

370
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: across the league since January eighth, including the sweep of

371
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: the Nets the Celtics thirty seven and ten. If you're

372
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: going to point one finger a blame in the Nets direction,

373
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: which direction? Tyree for starting all this? I mean, you know,

374
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: Kyrie spoke in a couple of times during the series

375
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: about chemistry issues and the inability to develop cohesion with

376
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: the team, Well, whose fault is that? Like, you know,

377
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: this team wasn't able to get him on the court

378
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: from more than half in the first three quarters of

379
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: the season that played a factor in all this, and

380
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: outside of Game one and some decent minutes in the

381
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of Game four, Kyrie didn't just show up.

382
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I had people within the Boston organization that

383
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: we're talking about how it's eerily reminiscent to how he

384
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: played in that first round series, second round series against

385
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: Milwaukee a couple of years ago, where they just seemed

386
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: checked out of the series. So, I mean, there's a

387
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: lot of blame to go around, but I mean Kyrie

388
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: has to absorb the bulk of it, both for what

389
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: he did during the season that prevented them from developing

390
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: that chemistry to how he played outside of Game one

391
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: of the series. Do you think the Nets are going

392
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: to give him a max deal? I don't know what

393
00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: choice they have. You know, the Nets would for not

394
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: to obviously, but is there some team out there that

395
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: would is there, Like I'm just making this up because

396
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: they always do crazy things, But like with Sacramento out there,

397
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, give him a max level deal and they

398
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: would lose him for nothing. The Nets don't have a

399
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: lot of moves here, Dan, I mean, Kevin Durant is

400
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: locked up, Joe Harris is locked up, coming back Ben Simmons.

401
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: He's got three years left them his contract and is

402
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: untradeable at this point, you let Kyrie walk. It's not

403
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: like you clear this max level cap space to go

404
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: out and get somebody else. It's Kyrie or it's nothing

405
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: at this point. And as dangerous as it is to

406
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: give him a four year contract or a five year contract,

407
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: even in the neighborhood of two hundred plus million dollars,

408
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: what else are you going to do? They made their

409
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: deal with the devil, so to speak, and this is

410
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: kind of what this team's gonna look like moving forward.

411
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons and his agent reportedly had a meeting with

412
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: the Nets yesterday, Like why would you have a meeting

413
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: on the day of maybe, you know, an elimination game,

414
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: potential elimination game, about your playing status or future or

415
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: what the hell's going on? Well, I think they had

416
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: to Dan because there was disappointment within the Nets organization

417
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: that Ben Simmons wasn't going to be available for Game four.

418
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: I mean everything that scene leading up to Sunday was

419
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: that Ben Simmons was getting it. He came out and

420
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: spoke late in the week about how he was feeling better,

421
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: how we had no concerns about jumping back into the fray.

422
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: Steve Nash said on Saturday that he had a great

423
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: three on three, came out of it feeling fine, and

424
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: then Sunday morning comes along and he's got this back

425
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: issue and he's not ready to play. So I think

426
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: they had to address it head on with Brooklyn because

427
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: there was definitely some disappointment reverberating through the your organization.

428
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: I was honestly a little bit taken aback Dan that

429
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: even though he wasn't playing, he wasn't there on the bench,

430
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: he wasn't supporting his team in elimination game at the

431
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: Barclay Center. Now you know, the Nets officially said it

432
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: was because of his back, but I mean, come on, like,

433
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: sitting on the bench, you know, for a couple of

434
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: hours in what could be the last game of the

435
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: season is really going to impact your back. I gotta believe,

436
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: and this is more speculation than anything else, that there

437
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: was some anxiety within Simmons team about fans turning on him.

438
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: Him sitting there on the bench and is very multi

439
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,239
Speaker 1: colored outfits and drawing the ire of fans that were

440
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: seated in the nearby sessions. I just don't understand the organization.

441
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: They should have had one voice, and that one voice

442
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: was going to say, he's not playing. Unless there's something

443
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: miraculous that's happening, he's not going to play. So let's

444
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: just take the topic off the table. And then he

445
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: comes out and he goes and I can't play in

446
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: game three, but I could play in game four. Well,

447
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: he's doing this to him and this is self inflicted

448
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: as well, but the nets did this as well. How

449
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: the hell do you get a herniated disk in your

450
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: back if you haven't played all. He hadn't played at

451
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: all in a year. It's an indictment of not what

452
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons did once he got to Brooklyn, but of

453
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: what he didn't do while he was in Philadelphia when

454
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: he was with the seventy six ers. Even though he

455
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: wasn't playing, he had access to everything that they had

456
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: to offer there. He could have gone into the facility

457
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: every single day, worked with the coaching staff, work with

458
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: the medical staff, worked with the training staff, at the

459
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: very least made sure his body wasn't tiptop shape. Now,

460
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: the back injury it predates this season. I mean you

461
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: go back to twenty twenty when he had to sit

462
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: out at the end of the pre pandemic season. He

463
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: was dealing with some back problems. But if you haven't

464
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: played since last June and you know you're not going

465
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: to play for Philadelphia that season for whatever reason, you

466
00:26:53,200 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 1: have an obligation to make sure you're as physically healthy

467
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: to be in that kind of condition, and dealing with

468
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: that type of issue is really inexcusable. I'm watching James Harden.

469
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: I just don't get what happened to James Harden. And

470
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: then he took eleven shots last night. He knows that

471
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: Joe l. N Bead is hurt, I have to have

472
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: him take twenty five shots. Yeah, yeah, right, I just

473
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 1: don't you know last year when James Harden got hurts,

474
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, when he struggled a bit down the stretched

475
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 1: you attributed to the hamstring. You said, all right, he's

476
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: got a hamstring as young thirty two, thirty three, he'll

477
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: be okay. But he doesn't have the birst he once had.

478
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: Dead like he when he was at his best in Houston.

479
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: He got you on his hip, he went by you,

480
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 1: he got to the free throwing. I think we've been

481
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 1: so focused with James Harden about how the referees have

482
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: changed how they call the game. He's not getting the

483
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,239
Speaker 1: same foul calls. That's the issue. I don't think that's it.

484
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I've watched a lot of James Harden over

485
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: the years. He's not getting to the rim in the

486
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: same ways he used to get to the rim. And look,

487
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: he's had multiple hamstring injuries over the course of his

488
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: recent career. Is it ever going to come back? You know,

489
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: you've talked about Kyrie and the dangers of getting him

490
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: an extension. I mean, James Harden has made it clear

491
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be looking for that two hundred and

492
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 1: seventy something million dollar, five year contract when this is over.

493
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: That is going to be an albatross around the next

494
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 1: of the seventy six ers for years to come. Think

495
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: about where this team would be if Tyrese Maxie wasn't

496
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: playing out of his mind early in this series. So

497
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, these next couple of games, they're a referendum

498
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: on James Harden. You know Joel Embiid that thumb's not

499
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: going to get any better. We know that that's a

500
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: torn ligament in his thumb. He's gonna play through it.

501
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: I give him credit for that, but this is where

502
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: James Harden has to step up and make plays. Or

503
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: a sixers team, they absolutely could become the first team

504
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: to go out after Loke Go being up for a zip.

505
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: Great to talk to you, Chris. As always, we'll check

506
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: back in with you during the postseason. Thank you. You

507
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: got a death. That's Chris Mannix, Sports Illustrated senior writer.

508
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: I you may have to, but man, that would be

509
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: tough writing that check to James Harden two hundred and

510
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars and Kyrie, I mean, Kyrie at least

511
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: he's a better player. But yeah, he's younger, he's more

512
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: well rested, at least you think I And then you

513
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: got to the playoffs or later in the season, it

514
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: was like, how, hey, we're tired. You're tired? How hey,

515
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: hey are you tired? Yeah, Paul, you shouldn't have to

516
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: pay a quarter billion dollars for a headache, you know

517
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: what I mean. Well, if you're a general manager, you

518
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: should be like, oh, do we have to do this.

519
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: There's got to be an the system. You know, we

520
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: always hear this, there's a taker for somebody, you know

521
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: when you go you know, it's like everybody is going

522
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: to find a partner, you know, like Russell Westbrook, somebody's

523
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: gonna take him, right and then you oh, nobody remember

524
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: um Carson Wentz. Nobody's gonna take that contract. Well they did,

525
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: and so you go, Okay, Kyrie, who's Harden? Who's gonna

526
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: want to take that? Yeah? Morph the Orlando Magic are

527
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: going to be so much better with James Harden, Isn't

528
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: I thought? You know, he'd go to Brooklyn win a

529
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,239
Speaker 1: championship and then he would leave and go back to

530
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,959
Speaker 1: his scoring ways where the games didn't mean anything and

531
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: he kind of didn't reverse order there. Corey and North

532
00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: Carolina joins us. Good morning, Corey, what's on your mind?

533
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: I ended? Oh my god? Okay five? Ten two? Will

534
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: I think the Husky section at the top? Uh? I

535
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: come to you today as a complete hater to revel

536
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: in the demise of two men. This is the days

537
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: from the NBA to celebrate from KD going to Golden State,

538
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: the Kyrie be and Tyree Boston brought the brooms out.

539
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: If they are out of here, good day, sir, and

540
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: get you want the thing. I didn't get the cause

541
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: of a much natis but chucky, sister Jane. Serious enough,

542
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: Thank you Corey. That was Reverend Corey there. I'm here

543
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: today to tell you about I'm a hater like the energy. Yeah,

544
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: great energy for him. Jordan in Ohio, Hi, Jordan, what's

545
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: on your mind? Long time listener, second time call of

546
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: five nine one sixty five. UM, I would compare today's

547
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: state of the ENDBA is basically the NBA free Magic

548
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: and Larry, no real alpha, lack of competitiveness, competitiveness, and

549
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: people are more interested in the ugliness off the courts

550
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: and they are what's going on on the court. All right, Well,

551
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: thank you, Jordan. I'm not sure you know I followed

552
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: the alpha. I think they're There's probably plenty of guys

553
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: who are alpha's, but like Larry and Magic, there were

554
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: alpha's before Larry and Magic. If you want to go

555
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: back to the NBA, the NBA didn't even televise the

556
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. They did it on tape delay. That was

557
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: from the seventies to the early eighties. Then you know,

558
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: Larry and Magic came along, and you know, you had

559
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: a black superstar, White superstar East Coast, West Coast, and

560
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: they were both on very very good teams, so it

561
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: worked out. But you know, trying to find that magic

562
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: Larry Michael, it feels like we're always going to be

563
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: looking for that and we're not going to find it

564
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: because that's when you say, well, where's Willie Mays And

565
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: who's going to be Hank Aaron, Who's gonna be Mickey Mantle?

566
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: Nobody is. There's not another Magic, and there's not another

567
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: Larry lucas different Luca could turn out to be better

568
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: than Larry. All right, hold on, I know, I know,

569
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: but you know we hold on to these you know,

570
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: generations that we grew up in. It like nobody's better

571
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: than him. Everything was better when you're when you're younger,

572
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: everything's better. I know. You look at the you watch

573
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: Steph Curry play, and I've watched the NBA for over

574
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: fifty years. He doesn't remind me of anybody, no one,

575
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: absolutely not. But I think that's you know, we have

576
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 1: a hard time in breat Kevin Durant what he does now.

577
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: Granted he got shut down in this series. Kevin Durant

578
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: like that stuff is. It's amazing Lebron to do this

579
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: for twenty years. So you do have today's modern star.

580
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: But I think we have a hard time embracing them,

581
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: and we should embrace them because some of these players,

582
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: what they do, how they do it, how often they

583
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: do it, it's just remarkable. And you know, we go

584
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: back and Michael Jordan never missed a game winning shot,

585
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: oh he did, Larry never, oh he did magic. They

586
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: all made mistakes, they all had bad games, they all

587
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: had bad series. So you have to be fair to

588
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: today's player because your memory, your memory is powerful, and

589
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: you only remember it feels like the good times, the

590
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: good things. Take a break. Play of the day up next.

00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: the commercial break, Fritzie went to the free throw line

618
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: battling tendonitis. This is similar to Michael Jordan when he

619
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: had the flu in Utah tarall Owens with a broken

620
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: leg and the Super Bowl. Yeah, really incredible one of

621
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: three and got a little dicey there, and I said

622
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: that Todd the over under was three and a half

623
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: free throws, eyes open. I shot mine, eyes closed, and

624
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: I went with the over. I thought Todd could make

625
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: four out of ten, and he ended up making I've

626
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: had a ten, didn't you? Though? Not great? You got

627
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: eight of ten with your eyes closed. It's okay, five

628
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: off like the foot of a coin. Whether it's going

629
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: to go in is not a great But I wasn't

630
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: battling tendonitis. It's true. I appreciate you saying that is true.

631
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: I have some kind of inflamed elbow situation. I did.

632
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what you get an inflamed elbow whatever,

633
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: whatever it is I need to is it? I don't

634
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,959
Speaker 1: know if I need an X ray. I've been putting

635
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: like vegetables like that. Is it? You're just your left

636
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: elbow or bow? My left elbow, okay, my shooting elbow?

637
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: Why just one? I don't know. I'm a lefty, but

638
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: you don't do anything. Well okay, well, well there's a

639
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: lot of typing that's sending it, as you know, Todds

640
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: sending off a ga Jillian emails. And that's some kind

641
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: of elbow carpoal tunnel. Can you get carpal tunnel on

642
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: your elbow? I don't know. I don't think so. I

643
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: think it's more like your hands. I think it's all

644
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: in your head and your wrists, actually wrists. It's all

645
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: on your head, is it. Yeah? Yeah, I'm always looking

646
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 1: for the next element, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, it's definitely

647
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: all in his head. Because when he went to go shoot,

648
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: he was like, I gotta take my wedding ring off.

649
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: I can feel it on my fingers. I don't like it. Yeah,

650
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't like to because at one time I was

651
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: throwing a football around with my son in the backyard

652
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: and the ring went flying off my finger. I went

653
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: and such a panic motor. I don't know how we

654
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: ended up finding it somewhere in the grass, but ever

655
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: since that, no, I know how you founded the grass.

656
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: You probably ask your wife. You go out there and

657
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: look in the grass while you're sitting inside. Well, I

658
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: had her going like the home Deeper. Get one of

659
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: those things where you could slow down, slow down, you're approteins,

660
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: you're slurring my work. That. Yeah, everyone had to get

661
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: one of those machines though, where you're like, oh yeah,

662
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: metal dejector. Every time I think about you in the

663
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: backyard playing sports, you told the story about you were

664
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 1: playing nerve football and your pants were around your knees

665
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: at one point. Yea. Sometimes like when you're in junior

666
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: high school, high school, your experiments a little bit okay,

667
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: but what how did you end up playing nerve football

668
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: and your pants are I know, I love nerve football,

669
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: and just you know, sometimes you're hanging out with the guys.

670
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, No, I don't know. Sometimes it's like

671
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: a damn, I don't know. It's just to get you know,

672
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 1: and no one's around. You're like, you know what, Jeff

673
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: and Detroit joins us, Hi, Jeff, what's on your mind today?

674
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: What up? Though? One time? But Chad Row Welcome back, Fellers.

675
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: Missed you guys. Listen. I got a little good, bad,

676
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: and ugly for you. The good it's gonna be um.

677
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: Miguel Cabrera hitting the three thousand hit Matt Stafford happened

678
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: to be in town with his wife Kelly. They were

679
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: dedicating the community Center. They always doing stuff here in

680
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: the city. So that's why we love Matt Stafford here

681
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: in the city of Detroit and go to go up meeting.

682
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: Bad's gonna be Ben Simmons. Now, you were talking yesterday,

683
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you it was ridiculous, not what

684
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: you were saying, but the fact that you had to

685
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:47,720
Speaker 1: say this somebody that was a sixth year veteran Rookie

686
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: of the Year and he hasn't gotten better and you

687
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: have to ease him into a game or he's not playing.

688
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: A guy's really really soft man. I mean Dan. When

689
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 1: I say soft he trained does Rich Pett and puffies.

690
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: When I say soft man, I mean he cut his

691
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: mouth eating cotton candy. When I say soft man, the

692
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: mac and not smell rolls is because the smell is

693
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: too strong. Forum. All right, well, thank you, Jeff, Thank you.

694
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: Jeff's on a roll there that have to knock him down. Yeah. Look,

695
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: I don't know the inner workings of Ben simmons relationship

696
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: here or his agent's role here, but there was an

697
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: issue in Philadelphia, obviously an issue that he created. He

698
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: proved to be a player you could not depend on.

699
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: Your coach said that. Now, did Doc try to walk

700
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: those words back to say can you win a championship

701
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: with Ben Simmons? And I think he said, I don't know. Well, Ben,

702
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: you created the doubt and instead of I'm going to

703
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: create confidence in my teammates, you just went into hibernation.

704
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: And then what was it you created? Whatever it is

705
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: that you had in your mind, your head, you created it.

706
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: You're the one that was afraid to go shoot free throws.

707
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: You're the one that didn't want to take shots at

708
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: the end of games. You're the one that didn't want

709
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: to do anything in the fourth quarter offensively. I just

710
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can trust a player like that.

711
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: And I try to be fair to the mental illness

712
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: part of this or whatever he was going through with it,

713
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: but you still have to have questions like I would

714
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: love to have asked him, you know, what kind of

715
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: treatment are you getting? Like those are fair questions because

716
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: it has to do with him returning to basketball. And

717
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't me or the media that brought this up.

718
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: His agent brought up the topic. And that was a

719
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: long time ago, So we should be able to ask

720
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: you questions about what is the game plan here? What

721
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: are you doing? What is treatment? Is it mental? Physical?

722
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: Do you want to play? These are just like you

723
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: never thought that you would have questions like this for

724
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: a guy who's supposed to be when he's been an

725
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: All Star a couple of times, very good, you know,

726
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 1: defensive player number one overall pick. Now you see a

727
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: year ago at this time, he didn't even want to

728
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: shoot a layup. But if I look at a guy

729
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: who's going to go fifteen points, eight rebounds, eight assists

730
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: and plays go defense, I mean I still want to

731
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: invest in that stock. It's just man, I hate to

732
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: sell it short. By the way, Pauli maybe reconsidering his bet.

733
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: Will a quarterback be taken in the first thirteen picks?

734
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: Could Pauli be betting against Paulie? Chris Simms will join
