We'll have some Game seven talk for you, 24 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: for sure, but we have to talk about Game six first. 25 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: I'm not just saying this because of your connections to 26 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 2: the Mavericks and the Mavericks fans, uh huh. But what 27 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: a game last night where the Dallas Mavericks rally from 28 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: a sixteen point deficit advance by beating the Oklahoma City 29 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: Thunder in six games thanks to three great free throws 30 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 2: from PJ. Washington. Two were made, but it was the 31 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 2: miss that maybe was the most impressive of all of them. 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 2: In the end, Dallas moves on with a victory over 33 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: Oklahoma City and the Thunder are left scratching their heads. Yeah. 34 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 3: I picked my MAVs coming into this series to win 35 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 3: in five. They win it in six. They blew Game 36 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 3: four back in Dallas and made me a little worried. 37 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: Uh. 38 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 3: But again they came back in Game six yesterday and 39 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 3: fall through some adversity, some things where I thought, you know, 40 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 3: early on, things didn't go their way their way. They 41 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 3: could have packed it in and had another game to 42 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 3: kind of finish it in Okay see for Game seven, 43 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: but they fought back, found the way to win the 44 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: stars with stars in the third quarter for Dallas. They 45 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 3: scored twenty up to thirty five points that quarter. In 46 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, just like this series has gone for 47 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 3: most of it, you had some songs. He rolls down 48 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: the stretch, you had PJ. Washington down the stretch, hit 49 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 3: two big threes and obviously the free throws at the end, 50 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 3: and we won the game, man, And so yeah, you're. 51 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: We yeah, I know you want to come with that, Dan, 52 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: we won the game. 53 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 3: We're moving on to the Western Conference Finals for the 54 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 3: second time in three years. 55 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 2: So big, big day. He had just as rutch of 56 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: rollas Derek Jones Junior did a shame exact that Derek 57 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: g Lively had. I had seven attempts seven attempts yesterday. 58 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what you didn't do. You didn't use 59 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: your final timeout when you never should have. This is 60 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: I can't get away from this, and we don't have 61 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: to spend fifteen minutes talking about this, but I just 62 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: feel the timeout that Mark Dagnoll called for Oklahoma City 63 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 2: is to review the PJ. Washington foul was egregious, and 64 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: there's because there's different layers to it. First of all, 65 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: there was the conversation on the actual play of did 66 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: Shay Gildess Alexander get all ball? And I thought that 67 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: the broadcast did a good job of explaining of, yes, 68 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: he got all ball, but you can make contact with 69 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: the player if the ball is released. So here it 70 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: kind of almost is a tip of the cap to 71 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: the strength of PJ. Washington to continue to hold the 72 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: basketball at that point. But then you review that call. 73 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: I'll say this, and we're going to get into officiating 74 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: later and we're gonna hear from the Thunderhead coach on 75 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: why they chose to challenge that foul and why. I 76 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: just think it was just a bad, bad move and 77 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: almost near coaching malpractice. But when you when you look 78 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: at the when you look at the situation with with 79 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: how that play goes down, I almost want to start 80 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: out twenty seconds prior, because I think a lot of 81 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: us were like, all right, Luca, let's go let this is. 82 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: You know it's a one point game at that time, right, well, 83 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: one point game if you miss. If Oklahoma City gets 84 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: the rebound, you follow, you still have an opportunity to 85 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: to make it a three point game. It's that whole, 86 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: the whole way that that it ends up playing out 87 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 2: of Okay, Dallas, I'm like, all right, Dallas, you may 88 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: want to get going. You may want to get going, 89 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 2: you may want to get going with all of this 90 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: like that has you wondering what's going on? You fast, 91 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: I should say, rewind twenty seconds back even prior, and 92 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: then you have the foul called on PJ. Washington in 93 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 2: that scenario with Oklahoma City. So when so so when 94 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: I when I, when I te, I think Mark Diagno 95 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 2: made the mistake in calling the foul. I almost think 96 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: you have to go back to that PJ. Washington lou 97 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 2: Dort collision. Did you think that was a foul on PJ. Washington? No, 98 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 2: you didn't think of that, absolutely not. 99 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 3: I Mean, he was the guys locked in on on 100 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 3: his man and lou Dort is like literally right behind 101 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 3: him and comes and he's able to get in front 102 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: of him to screen him in a legal position. Doesn't 103 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: really seem like that's a real thing, like you could 104 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 3: do that from that close and so to call that 105 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 3: in that moment where it's been physical all series, physical 106 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 3: all all that game as well, and then to call 107 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 3: that and actually have a chance to give you know, okay, 108 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 3: see with the with the layup and a dunk which 109 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 3: they got the lead, it's it's it was pretty it 110 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 3: was pretty crazy for me. 111 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: It is a gutsy, gutsy call. And you're right, they 112 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 2: kept possession because they got the free throw and then 113 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: they were able to inbounds after that. It was at 114 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 2: that point that Oklahoma City called the time out, Yes, 115 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 2: to shut up the play that allows chet Holmgren to 116 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 2: get that basket. Yes, you know what, brilliant timeout. But 117 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: the point I'm making here is you are there with 118 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: thirty five seconds left in Oklahoma City has two timeouts 119 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: in their pocket, and so at that point when you 120 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: call that timeout to run the play, if you're Oklahoma City, 121 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: you know what you're saying yourself is you're saying, we're 122 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 2: gonna use the timeout here to get a play where 123 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: you did with thirty seconds on the clock or under thirty. 124 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 2: But you also need it to either advance if Dallas 125 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: takes it down, or you call the timeout to get 126 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 2: your shot that you would need if Dallas decides to 127 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: go early if you're in pressure, if there's any situation, 128 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: you have to save that timeout. So you've got in 129 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: your mind that you're saving that timeout. And this is 130 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,559 Speaker 2: the point. The timeout is not used as a trump card. 131 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: The timeout is a get out of jail free card, 132 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 2: and it's it's everywhere at the end of an NFL game, 133 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: right save your timeouts because if you're losing, you can 134 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: force a punt call timeout no time runs off the clock, 135 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 2: you'll maybe have a last chance. Time arts aren't called 136 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: to win a game. They are called to save you 137 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: from losing the game. And I felt last night that 138 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: it cost Oklahoma City because of the explanation that Mark 139 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: Dagnell gave after the game last night, Oh shame, just 140 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: would you make it a Romanta? 141 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 4: And I don't have as good of a replay as 142 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 4: there was on TV, So you know, I just you know, 143 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 4: he got ball, you know, and then obviously got arm 144 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 4: as well. You know, I thought he might have gotten 145 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 4: the ball first. And just in that situation, you know, 146 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 4: even without leaving myself a timeout, I thought any chance 147 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 4: that we could take points off the board and reverse 148 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 4: that call would be worth the risk. So that's why 149 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 4: I went and got it. 150 00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: Are you good with that explanation? Yes, but I agree 151 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: with what you're saying. 152 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: But also in those coaching scenarios like that, where again 153 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 3: taking points potential points off the board. In that situation, 154 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: if it was close enough that they felt they had 155 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: a chance to win, it's kind of hard to not 156 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 3: attempt it there. You're right, I mean, obviously if you 157 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: don't get it, you essentially lose the game as well. 158 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 3: So I think you're in a situation where if you 159 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 3: don't do it, you lose probably potentially, and if you 160 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 3: do use it and it doesn't work, you're in a 161 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: position to lose as well. So I don't think there's 162 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 3: a clear advantage of keeping it in that scenario, only 163 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 3: because you're not expecting PJ. Washington to not make one 164 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 3: of those to at least tie it. So say, worst 165 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 3: case scenario for Dallas, he only makes one of those 166 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: and it's tie, then you have a chance to win 167 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 3: it from half court, and that's a different story. 168 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 5: He makes two. 169 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: He's not a great free throw shoot either, Yes, and 170 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 3: so you will give them that chance to at least 171 00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 3: try it. 172 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: So I see is positioning there as well, But I 173 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 2: would turn it around and say this that in that 174 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: scenario number one, darn near impossible that the refs will 175 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: overturn that call in that scenario. I know we have replay, 176 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: I know we have evidence. But to turn over that 177 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: scenario and make it a jump ball in Dallas, I 178 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: think is a lot to ask. 179 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: I don't even think it was a jump ball. Because 180 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 3: Kyrie actually got their actually made it. 181 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: He did. 182 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 2: It was actually better for Oklahoma sitting that the whistle blew, 183 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 2: because you're right, Kyrie caught it and put it in 184 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 2: that it actually stopped play. But in that you know scenario, 185 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,599 Speaker 2: if you go to a jump ball situation or it's that, 186 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 2: whatever the case is, however they rule it when the 187 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: when the whistle blows, because there was there could have 188 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: been a point where where PJ. Washington goes goes up 189 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 2: and down. The point is is PJ. Washington goes to 190 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 2: the free throw line, because that's who you know, is 191 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 2: that the free throw line. And let's spend Dallas's problem throws, Yes, 192 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: free throw shooting. And so now you say, if you're 193 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: Mark Dagnell, okay, well is he gonna make all three? PJ. 194 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 2: Washington on the season A sixty eight percent free throw shooter. 195 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: Guess what, you got three of them. That's about two 196 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 2: for three, still a little north of two for three, 197 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: but there's a pretty good chance that he's gonna go 198 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 2: two for three, at least if you were to follow 199 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 2: the numbers. Worst case scenario for you, he goes three 200 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: for three, you still have the time out like that's 201 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 2: and then you move it too half court and now 202 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: it's a two point game and you're able to get 203 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 2: your shot off. Or worst case scenario for Oklahoma City, 204 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 2: he makes the first two and then miss, and then 205 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: you got to call time out immediately and a few 206 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 2: more tents come off the clock. The point being is 207 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: once they chose to challenge the call, which I think 208 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 2: number one had a very very slim chance to be overturned. 209 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 2: In number two, the alternative of PJ. Washington shooting free 210 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 2: throws in as bad of a situation as opposed to 211 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: somebody who was maybe shooting ninety percent from the free 212 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: throw line, the numbers were actually in your favor, and 213 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: to think that you were going to get that call 214 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 2: or that it was worth being able to have a 215 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: look at that call and cost the timeout cost them 216 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: the game. It's if they if he makes one of 217 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: them and you get you get a rebound tie game, great, 218 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: you go to overtime. Perfect, but you still can you 219 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 2: can call timeout, you can advance the ball, you could 220 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: do what you need to do. But by them using 221 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: that timeout in that scenario when I don't think it 222 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 2: was fifty to fifty, that was going to go into 223 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 2: their favor. By the way, if you end up having 224 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 2: a scenario where it is just back to Dallas, you know, 225 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 2: they still get the ball, you know, like there's there's 226 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 2: they still have an opportunity to win it, and now 227 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 2: you can't set your defense. Maybe they Dallas calls a play. 228 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 2: Just there were so many things that couldn't go in 229 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: the way of Oklahoma City. And I don't think that 230 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 2: we're going to be harping on this because it's Oklahoma City. 231 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 2: But if this was the Lakers, if this was the 232 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: Knicks today and you botch this situation, that's all the 233 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: conversation is. And I just think that Oklahoma City doesn't 234 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 2: mean they're going to make the shot with two point 235 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 2: five seconds off, Kerry. I just think when you use 236 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 2: the timeout in that review when, by the way, you 237 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: had two timeouts with thirty five seconds left to go 238 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 2: in the game, and all of a sudden when you 239 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: need it the most, you don't have any that's inexperienced 240 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 2: at a bad job by Oklahoma City. 241 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's coming from your coach of the year. 242 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 3: So I mean, you know, in those moments, you know, 243 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 3: going by the numbers, going by your heart, and those 244 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 3: situations and trying to navigate a basketball game, it's really 245 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 3: really hard. And so you know, I mean, for I mean, 246 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 3: your one hundred percent correct with you know, you want 247 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 3: to keep that time out, but also having that time 248 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 3: out allows you to even take that challenge as well. 249 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 3: So they had that, you know, they had a chance 250 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 3: to do that. 251 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 2: And tough one. 252 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 3: I mean the whole time I'm watching it, I'm literally saying, please, 253 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: don't let them win this. 254 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 2: Don't let them reverse this call. 255 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: Because I saw Kyrie make the shot as well, I 256 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: was like, that would be that would be the icing 257 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 3: on the cake for this game, the fact that they 258 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 3: were to reverse it and Kyrie actually made the shot, 259 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 3: just let it, don't let it be a no call 260 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 3: in and just go out and let them tip it in. 261 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 3: So that's all I was thinking. I was thinking the 262 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 3: worst was bound to happen at that point. 263 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 2: In Washington's first free throw, it was a fifty to 264 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: fifty proposition. It ended up falling. But at that point 265 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 2: then you also know, all right, you're gonna make the 266 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 2: second one if you miss the first. If that rolls out, 267 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: then you're yeah, then it's now it's tight time. But 268 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: that rolls in, then you get your whereabouts he's gonna 269 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: make his second. And then at that point I think 270 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: it probably dawned in Oklahoma City. Uh oh, yeah, we're 271 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 2: done here because they know what we just found out, 272 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: and that is he's gonna miss. And by the way, 273 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 2: his miss was magnificent because I think he probably tried 274 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: to make it, and I'm joking cold it was one 275 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 2: of the better like it. It literally hit the back iron, yeah, 276 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: like a knuckleball, and just like was dead. It was 277 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 2: just because there was no long ricochet. There wasn't you know, 278 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: it wasn't short, it wasn't anywhere that could give Oklahoma 279 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: City an advantage. And yeah, I think Jalen Williams is 280 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: the one that had to throw up the three quarter. 281 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: And again, if you have your time out in that scenario, 282 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 2: he likely makes it or tries to make the last one, 283 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 2: and if he does, fine, you're down by two and 284 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: you advance of the a half court. For sure. That's 285 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: where Oklahoma City cost themselves. They also cost themselves by 286 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 2: blowing a sixteen point lead. Carrie felt that maybe it 287 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 2: should never have been sixteen points something we're gonna get 288 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: into next and I'm gonna pose this question to you. 289 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 2: So after last night, if you had to choose a 290 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: team to root for over the next ten years, are 291 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: you choosing Oklahoma City or are you choosing Dallas? And 292 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: I feel that the arguments on both sides, if you're 293 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: on one side of the other, are obvious. We'll talk 294 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 2: about those. He's Carrier roads, hit me up or hit 295 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: him up at Carrie twenty five roads. You can hit 296 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: me up at Dan Byer on Fox.

I'm Dan Pyrit's Fox Sports Sunday. You 318 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: would think that the biggest news out of Game seven 319 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: would be the status of Josh Hart. Yeah, by the way, 320 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: Isaac lown Crown is gonna give us an update on 321 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: that in a matter of minutes. But actually the biggest 322 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: status update is one of Scott Foster, who will be 323 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: officiating Game seven tonight of the timber Wolves and Nuggets game. 324 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 2: And it is it is funny on how the referee 325 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: assignments always grab headlines. You felt that the referees in 326 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 2: the game against featuring Dallas in Oklahoma City last night, Yeah, 327 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 2: maybe had a vested interest to try to make it 328 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: a seven game series. Are you saying that the NBA 329 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 2: officiating is rigged? As I I. 330 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 3: Understand that the NBA officiating is. It's a place that 331 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: can be controlled. So what I'm when I say this, 332 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 3: I do not believe the NBA is fixed. I believe 333 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 3: that the NBA officiating can control the flow and control 334 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 3: the outcome of keeping the game relatively close going into 335 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. And it's pretty evident when you see 336 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 3: the choppiness of the NBA game sometimes and the playoffs 337 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 3: has been pretty physical. They've let the guys play. It's 338 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 3: been really fun to watch. But in certain games, when 339 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 3: you know a series maybe getting out of control or 340 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 3: out of a hand and they want to prolong that series, 341 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: they can control the flow of how the game goes, 342 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 3: and so you know, you can watch the game and 343 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 3: it can be blantantly obvious that they're trying to keep 344 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 3: one team in it to compete, and then you'll see 345 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 3: at that point in the game where it's man, Okay, 346 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 3: see shot thirteen free throws in Dallas has two and 347 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 3: both teams are being aggressive, and so you'll see that disparity, 348 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 3: but they do a great job of covering up by 349 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 3: the end. By the end, it'll be okay. See twenty 350 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 3: free throws in Dallas eighteen. He'd be like, Wow, they 351 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 3: did a good job. 352 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 2: I almost like, I almost want to I have a 353 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 2: tear in my eye. You guys want to have an 354 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 2: All Pro safety who has finally come to our sides 355 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 2: as a fan who believes that the refs are making 356 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: the game close because his team was not winning, and 357 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 2: that they control the game and the thunder should not 358 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 2: have been up by sixteen. That there was no way, 359 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 2: no way, there was no way that that could happen. 360 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 2: It's it's like a proud moment where he is, he's 361 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 2: he's he's not only left his player, he's left his 362 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 2: cleats in the locker room. He's not even a member 363 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: of the media right now. He is truly a fan 364 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: in saying I love I do think like, I don't 365 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: know if you're an official, how you cannot get caught 366 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 2: up in a home court, like especially in college basketball, 367 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 2: like in college basketball, a team's on an eight to 368 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: zero run, the student section is going crazy, and the 369 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 2: opposing team, you know, goes down court and there's a 370 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 2: blatant block call and on the but to be able 371 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: to call a child large and they have the student 372 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: section like you get wrapped up. I'm sorry, they just 373 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,239 Speaker 2: it happens, like you get into that momentum, and I 374 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 2: just I I understand what you're saying. I don't know. 375 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,719 Speaker 2: How do you think they do? You think that they 376 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 2: allowed they figured out a way for Dallas to get 377 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 2: back into the game after keeping them suppressed in the 378 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: first half with the poor follow followed calls like Howard Dallas. 379 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 2: Then if the officiating is for Oklahoma City, how would 380 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 2: Dallas get back into this game and then end up 381 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 2: winning it? 382 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 3: Well, Dallas gets gets back in the game because they 383 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 3: allow the game to be called evenly. 384 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: So there's a So then Dallas is the better team. 385 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 2: Dallas was the better team in that series. 386 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 3: But you know, the crazy, crazy stat that I saw 387 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 3: yesterday was the total points in that series in this 388 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 3: six game series was six hundred and thirty six. Okay, 389 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: see six hundred and thirty six Dallas. So the total 390 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 3: score of that whole six game, six game series was even. 391 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 2: So. 392 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 3: I mean when you watch it on paper, you watched 393 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 3: the game live, and you look at I felt that 394 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 3: Dallas was a better team. 395 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 2: And I'm not just half from a Dallas man. I 396 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: agree with that. Yeah, And and it'll actually lead up 397 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: but probably to a conversation we're going to have here 398 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 2: just in a couple of minutes. There is also the point, 399 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,959 Speaker 2: honestly where Dallas is just got more inside. Yes, and 400 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 2: so if it's a physical game, in your calling fouls 401 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 2: that would go against Dallas. Dallas ended out up out 402 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: rebounding Oklahoma City forty seven to thirty one yesterday, and 403 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 2: you know he changed about three or four of those rebounds, 404 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 2: and you maybe have a have a different sort of 405 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 2: game exactly. All right, He's carry roads. I'm Dan Byer. 406 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: Let's get over to Isaac Glowing Crown to give us 407 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 2: the updates of the game seven's Premier League PGA and 408 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 2: so much more. Isaac, what is happening on this Sunday? 409 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 8: All right, Let's start with the final round of the 410 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 8: PGA Championship. Scottie Scheffler just bogeyed his first hole of 411 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 8: the tournament. 412 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 2: By the way still better than Friday, So even it's 413 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: still a better day than Friday was. 414 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 1: But he's not a six Friday. 415 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 8: He just saying, question if I suppose anyway. He is 416 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 8: at now six under par overallso he is now nine 417 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 8: shots behind co leaders Colin Morrikawa and Xanders Shoffley their 418 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 8: tied for the lead at fifteen under par and they 419 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 8: will tee off the final route at two thirty five 420 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 8: Eastern time today today at three point thirty Eastern from 421 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 8: Madison Square Garden, game seven of the Eastern Conference semi 422 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 8: Finals between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers. 423 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 8: The latest on the Knicks injury situation at ESPN reported 424 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 8: a short time ago that the Knicks, Josh hart and 425 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,479 Speaker 8: og and Anobi are both on course to play today, 426 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 8: with a final determination coming closer to tip off. It's 427 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 8: also Championship Sunday in the English Premier League right now. 428 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 8: Manchester City has gone up three to one over West Ham. 429 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 8: They are now in the sixty seventh minute. Arsenal and 430 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 8: Everton remain tied in this sixty sixth minute. Again the stakes. 431 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 8: Manchester City would win the title with a win or 432 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 8: an Arsenal loss or tie. Arsenal would win the title 433 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 8: with a win and a Manchester City loss or tie. 434 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 2: Fellas all yours, Isaac, Since you are here, I'm gonna 435 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 2: ask you this question, and I'm same to Chris Purfet, 436 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 2: Ryan Berschinger and obviously Carry Rhodes. But over the next 437 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 2: ten years, who would you rather be a fan of 438 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 2: Oklahoma City Thunder or the Dallas Mavericks. 439 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 9: I would prefer the Mavericks. 440 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Dallas is yeah, that's Chris, Isaac could. 441 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 8: I'd prefer Dallas to be honest with you. I think 442 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 8: they are a more compelling, interesting, entertaining team for some reason. 443 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 10: All right, Ryan Burschinger, Uh, you know what? Give me 444 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 10: the Thunder. I like Shay a lot, and they got 445 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 10: a lot of youth there and you, I mean, is 446 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 10: this a question for me as well? I'm Dallas. I'm 447 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 10: Dallas all the way. I think you talk about, Okay, 448 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 10: see being a young and excited team. 449 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: They are young. 450 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 3: Their main star, say Gildes Alexander, who is older than 451 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 3: Luka Danzig. So I would take Dallas and what they 452 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 3: have to offer, and you know, Luca's gonna be there 453 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 3: for a while and they'll build around him and they're exciting, 454 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 3: and you know, yeah, I take Dallas, what about you? 455 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: Well, so this is this is where the dilemma holds, 456 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 2: because what Sam Presty has done with Oklahoma City Beautiful 457 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 2: is darn near magnificence. I think they have, like, you know, 458 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 2: thirteen first round picks within the next like five or 459 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 2: six years. Yeah, I actually I do have the number 460 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 2: somewhere and for some reason, it just just not coming 461 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 2: up on my computer. But you've got this boatload of picks, 462 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 2: and you have set yourself up for extreme success. Like 463 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 2: there is a way they actually have four first round 464 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: picks in the draft in twenty twenty four. They're only 465 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 2: gonna you have two of them because the other two 466 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 2: are are sent in different spots. But you've got I believe, 467 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 2: three first round picks in the UH in the next year. 468 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: And so, like you, you have just got this boatload 469 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 2: of draft picks that you have built up, and they 470 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 2: really haven't cashed in on a ton of them. And 471 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 2: the reason that I that I think today it's it 472 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 2: may seem more obvious that it's Dallas and we have 473 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 2: a three to one split here, but I would I 474 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 2: would go to I would go to bursh and I 475 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: would say Oklahoma City just because of the possibilities. But 476 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 2: there is and Shake Gildess. Alexander is a top three 477 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 2: MVP candidate. We know that because he was. In fact, 478 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 2: he finished second to nicolea Jokic in voting, but it 479 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 2: was Luka Datcich who finished third. And it's Luca who's 480 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 2: the face of the NBA. So just like it would 481 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 2: be like saying, like, are you going to be a 482 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 2: fan of the of the Bulls, you know, in nineteen 483 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 2: eighty eight moving forward, like you're like, Okay, I think 484 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 2: Jordan's gonna arrive, and you just yeah, okay, I'll be 485 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 2: a Bulls fan at that point. Yeah. I think it's 486 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: the same thing with Luca. But I find it so 487 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 2: interesting in this NBA, where we saw what Dallas kind 488 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 2: of was the last couple of years when it was 489 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 2: only Luca, they seem to have built the team around 490 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 2: him and they seem much more appealing to think that 491 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: Oklahoma City was the number one overall seed and basically 492 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 2: can dominate any draft over the next five years. I 493 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 2: think that's the spot that any basketball fan, any basketball 494 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 2: executive would love to be in I think if you 495 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 2: were to take any executive around the NBA, they all 496 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 2: would say, I'd want Oklahoma City because I have the 497 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: star player and I have all these picks. But in reality, 498 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: the Luca factor is so overwhelming that here it's three 499 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 2: to one in favor of Dallas. 500 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 3: And I would say this to you Dan about ok See, 501 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 3: they're in prime position to be here for a long 502 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 3: long time. But it's also and I think seeing Sam 503 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 3: Presty and seeing the way Oka See operates for the 504 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 3: past decade, right, they've usually been patient a lot of 505 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 3: times in these situations when you have a set back 506 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 3: with a team like this that was number one. We 507 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 3: know they're young, but we also know that we're in 508 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 3: the league where you need to win, and you get impatient. 509 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 3: So the one thing I would say, okay See, is 510 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 3: don't let this set back really set you back. Right, 511 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 3: you start trying to go out and get big stars 512 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 3: or big names, and you trade a piece here and there, 513 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 3: and it messes up to chemistry. So I would say 514 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 3: to them, stay the course, don't go out there trying 515 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 3: to make a big swing at some free agent with 516 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 3: all the capital that you have. Just continue toss the 517 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 3: process that you're on and go from there. So that 518 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 3: would be the scary situation for them and having all 519 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 3: those assets because you look at a team like Boston 520 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 3: that had those assets in the year's past. They will 521 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 3: get Jason Tatum. They stay in the the window is 522 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 3: stretched longer by playing the long game, and you may 523 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 3: not win it. You get there and you're close, but 524 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 3: your time will come with that core Jayson Tatum, Jason 525 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 3: Brown is here there. So they got that course deal. 526 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,479 Speaker 3: They didn't get rid of those guys, and now they 527 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 3: have a chance to win it this year. So be patient. 528 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 3: If you're okay, see, don't try to get net go 529 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 3: all in mo be patient. 530 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 2: That is the dilemma where Sam Presty in Oklahoma City 531 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 2: had two years where they bottomed out. Last year they 532 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 2: end up making it into the play in tournament, won 533 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 2: a game in the play in Tournament, and then ended 534 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 2: up losing to Minnesota in the in the ultimate eight 535 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 2: seed determining factor game. And then this year to go 536 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 2: and be the number one overall seed I think was 537 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 2: a bit of a surprise. Yes, So now if you're 538 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 2: Oklahoma City and you're OKAYC and this is what I 539 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 2: just find. So intriguing is to what you talk about, 540 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 2: is I think they're a player away. Yes, I think 541 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 2: like if you have the if you have this four 542 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 2: of Shay Gildess, Alexander chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, and it's 543 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 2: not that Jala Williams can be the fourth best guy, Yes, 544 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 2: it's how do you find how do you find that 545 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 2: right player between one and four to fit in to 546 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 2: that spot. That doesn't that doesn't prohibit the continued growth 547 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 2: of chedt Holmgrid right by the way, will continue to 548 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: get better first full season. I mean, there's so there's 549 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 2: so some of that growth is also going to take 550 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 2: up some of that room. But you know, in the 551 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 2: end last night it was it was it was SGA 552 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 2: against the Dallas Mavericks. It surely felt like and and 553 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 2: so that's where I like, it is a problem all 554 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 2: gms would love to have with Oklahoma City. But now 555 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 2: is the time to put up or shut up. There 556 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 2: was a time, honestly that I thought that Oklahoma City 557 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 2: should have gone after Kevin Durant a couple of years 558 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 2: ago to try to bring it when he wanted out 559 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 2: of Brooklyn. And I'm like, you know, what, bring him back? 560 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,479 Speaker 2: You know, you would have this other. First of all, 561 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 2: you would heal some of the wounds, maybe not all 562 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 2: of them, but you would bring him back. And I 563 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 2: felt that he would be that star player that you 564 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 2: would need. And now I don't think they need that. 565 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 2: I don't think that that would that would be a 566 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 2: scenario for them. But the point being is I was 567 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 2: critical that I felt that Sam Presty, because you had 568 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 2: all of this capital to use, do something with your team, 569 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 2: you know, add a veteran to to just at least 570 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 2: trying to make them better. And they really didn't do that. 571 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 2: Youngest team and I think them an NC stayed at 572 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 2: about the same average age of their starting five. 573 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 3: But then they tried, they tried, they they brought in 574 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 3: a veteran guy, but he wasn't a presence at all 575 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 3: in the playoffs, which is Gordon Hayward and you, I mean, 576 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 3: if you when you think about that, when you think 577 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 3: about bringing them in, I thought that he would be 578 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 3: a big factor for them as far as what you 579 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 3: just said, having that veteran leadership, been in playoff games, 580 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 3: been the number one on playoff teams, and so sure 581 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 3: just didn't pan out that way. 582 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 2: There's a difference between Kevin Burrant and Gordon Oh no, no, no, no, no, 583 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: not compare. That was where I was where like I 584 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 2: was thinking like of of not just a guy with leadership. 585 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,719 Speaker 2: I don't think you killed them, you know who. I 586 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 2: just kept on thinking like, and I know he was 587 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 2: injured this year, but would Steven Adams work? I forgot 588 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 2: about it, like to go back, Like if you were 589 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 2: to go back, you know, like in that sort of 590 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 2: scenario because it was physicality, you obviously needed size that 591 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 2: that that there would have been a scenario where it 592 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 2: was okay, like that really could have helped like that place. Yes, 593 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 2: and now, but now you're sitting there in that catbird seat, 594 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 2: and I'll tell you what, people who are listening, I 595 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 2: think the no brainer is, well, the Dallas Mavericks because 596 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 2: you have Luka Doncic, And I think that's also just 597 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 2: the status of the NBA as well, Like you want 598 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 2: the best player if you can get it and figure 599 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 2: out the rest. Even if SGA like this season was 600 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 2: close to Luca and even got again more MVP votes 601 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 2: than than Luca even did, I still think people view 602 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 2: Luca as a better player. And I just how this 603 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 2: poll ended up going out a three three Dallas Mavericks 604 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 2: and including myself to Oklahoma City Thunder. I was not surprised. 605 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 2: That's kind of how I thought it would be. And 606 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 2: that's why I feel it's just an interesting question because honestly, 607 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 2: we were talking about the future of the Dallas Mavericks 608 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 2: as recently as last offseason because of Kyrie, and honestly, 609 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 2: it wasn't like Kyrie was this sought after free agent 610 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 2: that had fifteen different possibilities to go to. It was 611 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 2: kind of like, well, Dallas is going to bring them back, hopefully, 612 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,719 Speaker 2: you know, they'll have it work out, and then they 613 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 2: end up making these deals with the trade deadline and like, okay, wow, 614 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,959 Speaker 2: there's really something going here. Committed to defense. But the 615 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 2: future of the Dallas Mavericks and Luca's future in Dallas 616 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: wasn't as clear, you know, maybe even as a year 617 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 2: ago or what that franchise would be. And then now 618 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 2: they're back to the Western Conference Finals. No matter who 619 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 2: they played, it should be a great series in the 620 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 2: Western Finals. Just a different story even eleven months ago. 621 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and really, like you said, the turnaround 622 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 3: was so quick there, because yes, there was I mean 623 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 3: a lot of the prognostication about that team coming into 624 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 3: this season was they wouldn't even make the playoffs this year. 625 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 3: It was a lot of that which was surprising to me. 626 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 3: I mean, I thought they'd make the playoffs obviously, but 627 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 3: I mean it's a loaded West, tough competition. You make 628 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 3: a few assets, a few trades here and there to 629 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 3: now make yourself a younger team, but also a more athletic, 630 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 3: more a bigger team. And that's all I mean Luca 631 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 3: needed and Kyrie needed was those supplementary players that fit 632 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:35,479 Speaker 3: what they wanted to do. 633 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 2: And here we are now. He's Carrier oats, I'm Dan 634 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 2: Byer big thank you Isaac Glow and Corn, Ryan Berschinger 635 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 2: and Chris Purfettu for their input.

He wasn't in last week. So that's that's 645 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 2: that's what okay, because Iowa Sam shaded Iowa Sam. That's right, 646 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 2: that's right.

PGA Championship is underway. 657 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 2: Dive into a little of that as the leaders will 658 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 2: tee off in about an hour and a half or so. 659 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,239 Speaker 2: But just to kind of put a bow in our 660 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 2: previous conversation, got a tweet in I'm not sure on 661 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 2: how to pronounce. I don't think it's a bot. They 662 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 2: have eighty followers, but they said Luca is not the 663 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 2: face of the NBA, which I said in our conversation 664 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 2: of who would you rather be a fan of? Over 665 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 2: the next ten years Oklahoma City or the Dallas Mavericks, 666 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 2: And I think Oklahoma City's arsenal of draft picks and 667 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 2: the talent that they have right now have made it very, 668 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 2: very appealing. But you also cannot shy away from just 669 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 2: Luka Dancic. I would say that Luca has as good 670 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,760 Speaker 2: of a chance of anybody over the next ten years 671 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 2: of being the face of the NBA. He may not 672 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 2: be the face right now, and I still think that 673 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 2: Lebron takes a lot of that air up, but you're 674 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 2: talking about a league where I know Anthony Edwards is 675 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 2: emerging with Minnesota, He's going to be there. Obviously, Victor 676 00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 2: woman Yama is in extreme talent that who knows out 677 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 2: we've never really seen the likes of before, he'll be there. 678 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 2: But for what Luca has done and who Luca is 679 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 2: and how he plays, I don't think that that's a 680 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 2: stretch to say that over the next decade he's got 681 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 2: a And maybe I didn't say pretty good chance, but 682 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 2: I think there's a pretty good chance he's gonna be 683 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 2: the face of the NBA, or at least one of 684 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 2: the three faces that you think of in the NBA. 685 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean as far as being one of 686 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 3: the top three faces, he'll be that for the next 687 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 3: ten years for sure. His style of play will warrant that, 688 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 3: warrant that he'll have the ball a lot, He's gonna. 689 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 2: Make a lot of plays. 690 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 3: He's going to be the scoring champ, which he was 691 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 3: this year, you know, more years than not. And so yes, 692 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 3: for sure. I mean, and the debate will always, you know, 693 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,800 Speaker 3: be open open to you know, a couple of players 694 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,280 Speaker 3: here and there. I mean, Anthony Edwards obviously, if Jason 695 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,479 Speaker 3: Tatum wins it this year, maybe he's in the mix. 696 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 3: Shay who had a great year, and Joker. I think 697 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 3: we've seen the best of Joker, So I don't I 698 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 3: think that's probably gonna you know, kind of subside a 699 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 3: little bit. Yeah, and so yeah, I mean I think 700 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 3: he's has a really good chance of being that guy. 701 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 2: By the way, that's that's not a criticism, that's not 702 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 2: that's a fair, fair assessment. Plus, when you look at 703 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 2: the history of the NBA and who we think of 704 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 2: the faces in the NBA, we rarely think of centers, 705 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 2: you know, I mean, like the just it's the fact 706 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 2: of the matter. We just we don't the center position 707 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 2: is just not thought of now. Victor wimbin Yama is yeah, yeah, 708 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 2: I mean he maybe seven to six by you know 709 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 2: the time it's all said and done, who knows. But 710 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 2: it's not a center game. Not that Luca plays a 711 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 2: center game because he because he doesn't. But I do 712 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 2: think that there's a difference between just how we look 713 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 2: at at at what Jogic has done. It's almost like 714 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 2: the point of and I'll even say this with with 715 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 2: with Yannis as a as a Bucks fan, like his 716 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,919 Speaker 2: opportunity to be that face of the NBA, I think 717 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,080 Speaker 2: is over. Like I think you needed to string some 718 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 2: thing together to continue it and for and who knows 719 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 2: what's gonna happen with a team and their success, But 720 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,760 Speaker 2: there is a there is not only a finite window 721 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 2: to to lock yourself into that spot, which he was 722 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 2: at one point. You have to have continued success, and 723 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 2: I think Luca is still in the in the earlier 724 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 2: stages of that. You get to an NBA finals this year, 725 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 2: that's really gonna help it. And if you're winning titles, 726 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 2: that's gonna take him to a different, different stratosphere. Luca 727 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 2: winning a title will have ten times the effect of 728 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 2: the superstardom as opposed to what Jokic had in winning 729 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 2: last year with the Deverduggets. 730 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 3: And the thing about being the face of this league, 731 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 3: I think a lot of times it kind of gets 732 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 3: predicated on the language barrier as well. 733 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:44,359 Speaker 2: M hm. 734 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 3: And so even with Jokic winning MVP three times, we 735 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 3: still don't really say he's the face of the league 736 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 3: because he doesn't speak the native tongue, the native language, 737 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 3: and so endorsements being out in front and being in 738 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 3: the forefront the way that a lebron is is a 739 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 3: heard of, well. 740 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 2: I would I would say that what I think is 741 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 2: he just he has no interest in embracing it, sure, 742 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 2: you know. And then being that guy there are I've 743 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 2: seen him on you know, one of those Yeah, and 744 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 2: I forget the brand. I'm not trying to eliminate you 745 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 2: know them or not say, but I just I know 746 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 2: that I've seen him. And by the way, maybe maybe 747 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 2: because I can't remember the product, it didn't work as well, 748 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 2: but I do remember that Jokic was was in the commercial. 749 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 2: So I do think that there's that ability. But to 750 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 2: think that Yokich is gonna win another you know, three 751 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 2: m vps after this, no you know, or go on 752 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 2: finals run? Yeah, probably not, but Luke is one of 753 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 2: those guys. All right. So because of that topic, I 754 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 2: got ninety seconds to talk about the PGA Championship. Do 755 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 2: you like it when players struggle in majors or do 756 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 2: you like to see players play at their best or 757 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 2: do you like a mix of both. I like for 758 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 2: them to play at their best. 759 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 3: I want the best at the best, and I want 760 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 3: those guys to go out there and compete that way 761 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,919 Speaker 3: and beyond their game and and and may the best win. 762 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 2: So you like what you see of these low scores 763 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 2: and you're seeing a leaderboard with very familiar names, yes, 764 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 2: out there, So that is something there. There are a 765 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 2: bunch of people that can't stand what's going on this 766 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,399 Speaker 2: week because of the low scores, because of it being 767 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 2: a major, and aside, and honestly, the major was overshadowed 768 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 2: by Scotty Scheffler's situation. By the way, there were reports 769 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,360 Speaker 2: earlier today that the Louisville Police Department is likely to 770 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 2: drop the charges against him, maybe as soon as Tuesday. 771 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 2: That was a report from No Laying Up the Great 772 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 2: podcast that that covers the sport but we will Well, 773 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 2: we'll have to see if that ends up happening with 774 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 2: Scotty Scheffler. But that's kind of dwarfed everything. 775 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 3: It would have been even greater if he had on 776 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 3: even more great if he had like an ankle breakle 777 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 3: the plan in the tournament, that would have been pretty 778 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:45,959 Speaker 3: pretty cool. 779 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 2: Do you think the Louisville Police Department should handcuff the 780 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 2: winner and like walk them off the green? Just like 781 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 2: a perfect way to end the week. I know we're 782 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 2: making jokes. A man unfortunately lost his life that really knows, 783 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 2: yes on Friday, but all of the ramifications from it, 784 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 2: I'll just say this, I don't think Xander Schoffley gets 785 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 2: it done today. I think Shane Lowry's got a really 786 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,399 Speaker 2: great opportunity to do so. But I do think Kala 787 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 2: Morikawa him being there before, he also had this look 788 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 2: in his eye when he left the eighteenth Green. I 789 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 2: know that's probably not the greatest thing to read into, 790 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 2: but I think that there's something there. So I expect 791 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 2: him to play his best golf. Are we going to 792 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 2: get the best of the Knicks at Pacers and of 793 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 2: the Nuggets and Timberwolves. We'll talk about a next he's 794 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 2: Carrier Roads. I'm Dan Byer. It's Fox Sports Sunday. 795 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. 796 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 2: Maybe the most shocking thing to happen at the PGA 797 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 2: Championship is people didn't realize that John Daily, even though 798 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 2: he can use a cart for a medical exemption, cannot 799 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,360 Speaker 2: put the clubs on the card. He actually has to 800 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 2: use a caddie before that, which, thinking about it now, 801 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 2: I'm sure you would want a caddy and it would 802 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 2: just be really weird to have a random guy walk 803 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,280 Speaker 2: with you if the clubs were actually on the cart. 804 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 2: By the way, John Daily Withdrew after Thursday before everything 805 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 2: ended up happening crazy on Friday at Valhalla. But we're 806 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,919 Speaker 2: gonna have a winner today. You just heard Monci say 807 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 2: Manchester City wins the Premier League. It is Championship Sunday, 808 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 2: and we're gonna get a champion of the Eastern and 809 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 2: Western Conference. Semifinals bottom half of the bracket, as there 810 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 2: are two semifinal game sevens tonight, one in New York 811 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,840 Speaker 2: coming up at three thirty Eastern time this afternoon, and 812 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 2: then tonight in Denver is the Nuggets take on the 813 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 2: Timberwolves at eight o'clock Eastern.

So we believe that Josh Hart and ogn 819 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 2: and Ob are gonna be available for the New York Knicks. 820 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,240 Speaker 2: Thames like it, yep. I think that the heart piece 821 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:57,240 Speaker 2: is more important for the simple fact of I don't 822 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 2: know about the effectiveness of og An Andobi. He had 823 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 2: more of a well, he had a layoff. Josh Hart 824 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 2: didn't have a layoff. He's just going to be trying 825 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 2: to play through his ailment. But you have a game 826 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 2: seven and I'm not trying to stick to my guns 827 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 2: or stick in mud here. I do believe that the 828 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 2: Pacers are the better team. I just don't see this 829 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 2: scenario in it playing out carry where the Pacers find 830 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 2: a way to win this Game seven and the Knicks 831 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 2: find a way to lose it. Like everything that's been 832 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,600 Speaker 2: throughout this series and really throughout the Knicks. If you 833 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 2: were to take how things played out the Pacers in 834 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 2: their win have been at times dominant, but I don't 835 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 2: think we're going to get a dominant performance, especially in 836 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,720 Speaker 2: the garden where it should be Game seven and rocking. 837 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 2: All of the Knicks experience and their experience in these 838 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 2: tight games and their abilities ability to make plays in 839 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 2: these tight games, I think pays off tenfold in today's 840 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,280 Speaker 2: Game seven. Yeah, we talked about it last week. 841 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 3: I remember calling that the Pacers if they were to 842 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 3: win that pivotal game, they had to win by double digits. 843 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 3: They're a team that likes to you know, their front 844 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,839 Speaker 3: running team. When they get in front of you and 845 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 3: they get to play their pace and they play fast 846 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 3: and free and you know, run up and down the court. 847 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 3: They're pretty good when you get into a knockdown, drag 848 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 3: out type of game, which obviously fits the Knicks profile 849 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 3: a little bit more, and they're they're suitable to play 850 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 3: that that type of game a little bit better than 851 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 3: the Pacers. You're gonna take them. And they also have 852 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 3: the best player on the floor in Jalen Bronson. So 853 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,839 Speaker 3: you know, in theory, when you when you watch this game, 854 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 3: I'm with you. I actually think the Pacers have a deeper, 855 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 3: better roster at this moment, especially with the injuries with 856 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 3: the Knicks, but putting all your eggs in the basket. 857 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,479 Speaker 3: One game in Madison Square Garden, Game seven, it's gonna 858 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 3: be rocking, and they have the best player on the 859 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 3: floor who's coming off of subpar Game six. I'm gonna 860 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 3: I'm gonna pick the Knicks to win this game. But again, 861 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 3: it wouldn't surprise me if the Pacers filed a way 862 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 3: to winness them too. 863 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,839 Speaker 2: So it's one of those toss ups. 864 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 3: But in the matter and that in the gamesmanship of 865 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 3: picking one of these things, I'm definitely gonna take the 866 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 3: Knicks in games up. 867 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 2: I just would be surprised that Indiana would win this 868 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 2: game for the simple fact of in those late situations, 869 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 2: I don't know how they would respond, and I know 870 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 2: how the Knicks respond. And you know, there's a there's 871 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 2: a point as well where you have revisionist history or 872 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 2: you think that Michael Jordan made every buzzer beater he 873 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 2: didn't think that don't ruin that does It didn't always 874 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 2: happen like that. So the law of averages may tell you, 875 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 2: I guess what. The Knicks actually may not have a 876 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 2: close one go on their side. I just don't think 877 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 2: it happens in this my even in looking ahead to 878 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 2: what we we've got. You know, Boston's Boston series with 879 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 2: the heat, that intrigue lasted about a game or two. 880 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 2: I don't think there was I know Cleveland routed them 881 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 2: in game two, but I don't think there was much dilemma, 882 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 2: especially in games four and five, and you didn't have 883 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell, so that so that excitement was gone. I 884 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:29,640 Speaker 2: look ahead and I think, man Pacer Celtics is probably 885 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 2: the better series. But how in the world do you 886 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 2: shy away from Nick Celtics, right? You know, like that 887 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 2: like there's you know, there's there's that aspect of it. 888 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 2: I don't have a dog in the fight. All I've 889 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,839 Speaker 2: said is that I think that the Knicks fans are 890 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 2: gonna get a lot more annoying in a much quicker 891 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,440 Speaker 2: fashion than you believe. Everybody wants the the greatness of 892 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 2: the of the Knicks, and man, this is a Knicks 893 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 2: team that you just you love, and it's because they're 894 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,320 Speaker 2: not beating everybody up like the Ewing and Oakley and 895 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 2: and Anthony Mason, Derek Harper. You know those days when 896 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 2: you're winning seventy two to sixty eight, like those those 897 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 2: aren't the those aren't the days. The Knicks do have 898 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 2: a likable team, and they've got that likable core because 899 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 2: of how well Jalen Brunson plays, and obviously, you know, 900 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 2: you know, Dante DiVincenzo is another guy as well, who 901 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 2: was great at Villanova, especially towards his end there, and 902 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,880 Speaker 2: then ends up going to Milwaukee and was kind of 903 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,959 Speaker 2: a piece. He ended up getting hurt in their NBA 904 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 2: Finals run, went to Golden State, ended up being a 905 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 2: trade piece, you know, for Milwaukee. Then you know, ended 906 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 2: up in Golden State. But talk about finding your home 907 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,879 Speaker 2: and excelling, like he's really done that. So I get 908 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 2: the likability of it. I just get the sense, and 909 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 2: maybe I'm giving Boston too much credit that if the 910 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 2: Knicks end up winning this game, that the Eastern Conference 911 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 2: Finals are again gonna be kind of blah and the 912 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 2: Celtics will probably win it in five games. Man, whoever 913 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 2: wins this series is going to lose in five. You 914 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 2: think you don't think that the Pacers could get two 915 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 2: against Milston. 916 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 3: No, No, the Pacers again, they would win one game 917 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 3: where they shoot fifty from the three point line, Like 918 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,280 Speaker 3: the other two teams that did beat Boston in those series, 919 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 3: I mean they lost one game in each one, and 920 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 3: in both of those games, they were both game twos, 921 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,480 Speaker 3: and they were both historic, historic three point shooting on 922 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 3: the other team's part that got them that win. And 923 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 3: so the Pacers could do that for a game. The 924 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 3: Pacers don't have enough. It seems like they don't have 925 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 3: enough mental toughness to actually really cause a problem for Boston. 926 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,839 Speaker 3: Boston is clear, clear cut the better, the best team 927 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,879 Speaker 3: in the East, and it's not even close. The only 928 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 3: thing that would give them a chance any team would 929 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 3: be complacency, and I don't think that would happen at 930 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:47,120 Speaker 3: this point. 931 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 2: I think that they'd win a game. Yeah, so let's 932 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 2: let's just re agree on that one game. So then 933 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 2: I'm going to give them two because I think Rick 934 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,440 Speaker 2: Carlisle wins them a game. I hear you, I understand that. Yeah. 935 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 2: So now we're at four to two, and it's just 936 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 2: the way of figuring out maybe Boston throws the stinker 937 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 2: in there, so then they got a seven game series. 938 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 2: Seven games. 939 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,240 Speaker 3: Oh no, now you're really dreaming, Dan, No No way, 940 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:12,359 Speaker 3: I no way. 941 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:17,799 Speaker 2: I listen this Pacers team has been a thorn in 942 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,839 Speaker 2: my side as a Bucks fan all year long. Oh yeah, 943 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 2: I destroy it, you guys. And there's there's the there's 944 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,399 Speaker 2: the plan tournament rivalry. I'll tell you a quick, quick 945 00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,120 Speaker 2: side note story. And this is what makes me so 946 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 2: mad about the NBA because I hate all the different uniforms. 947 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 2: By the way, another side note, I know we're on 948 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 2: a scenic road. We have taken so many left turns. 949 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,920 Speaker 2: With this point, I hope you realize that if you're 950 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 2: watching the NBA now, that twenty years from now, there 951 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,880 Speaker 2: will be no throwback jerseys because teams aren't actually wearing 952 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 2: a consistent jersey right now. So your love of wearing 953 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 2: the throwbacks won't happen in twenty years because there are 954 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,359 Speaker 2: no throwbacks to go back to twenty years because they're 955 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 2: changing uniforms every single year. The Boston Celtics have the 956 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,359 Speaker 2: best uniform in the NBA. It's just a simple green 957 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 2: and white, and then they're mixing it up with this 958 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 2: black uniform with this different font. Look, it looks like 959 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 2: our banners. We're gonna make a jersey out of it. No, 960 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 2: just just keep it how it is. Just keep it 961 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 2: how it is. I wish you guys were right. 962 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Dan, I wish you guys are right here 963 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 3: right now, seeing the steam and. 964 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,319 Speaker 2: The top of his head it's coming out like it's 965 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,880 Speaker 2: real cold. Yeah, it makes me. It makes me so bad. 966 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 2: I watched a Bucks Pacers game this year and I 967 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,640 Speaker 2: tuned in and just didn't think anything of it. And 968 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 2: I'm watching it and I thought it was a playing 969 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 2: tournament because of how whack their court was. And then 970 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,240 Speaker 2: I realized, no, it wasn't a playing tournament regular season 971 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,240 Speaker 2: game because it didn't have that stupid mid season trophy 972 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,479 Speaker 2: in the middle. But the court was so whack anyway, Like. 973 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 7: I thought, it was so far. 974 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 2: It was so far from reality of what a real 975 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 2: NBA court should look like. And I'm like, oh, jeez, 976 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 2: this is gonna hurt him in the standing and I'm 977 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,479 Speaker 2: like wait a second, and then like, yeah, the games 978 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,399 Speaker 2: are on only Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays, and I can't 979 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 2: remember when the game was, but oh, it just annoys 980 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,920 Speaker 2: me so much to see just how far the NBA 981 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,640 Speaker 2: can can go and ruining traditions. This is my nightmare. 982 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 2: It is my nightmare. By the way, how great would 983 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,680 Speaker 2: it be if the Pacers could bring back like those 984 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,879 Speaker 2: Reggie Reggie Miller, the Pinstripe, just the pinstripe, or even 985 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 2: just like the the I guess it would be the 986 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,319 Speaker 2: triangle or just the different one, the one that they 987 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,920 Speaker 2: when he had the eight points in thirteen seconds. Oh yeah, 988 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 2: those sort of those sort of jerseys. How great would 989 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,960 Speaker 2: it be to rock those? But it may not be 990 00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 2: necessary if the Knicks end up winning Game seven, which 991 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:46,880 Speaker 2: I think we both think is going to happen. So 992 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:52,280 Speaker 2: all right, Nuggets and Timberwolves. I don't know how the 993 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:56,399 Speaker 2: only and listen, I called the Nuggets frauds two weeks 994 00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 2: ago when they were down to oh I said that 995 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,279 Speaker 2: their whole champion pion chip was fake and and you 996 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 2: said yeah, And there is a part of me that 997 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,160 Speaker 2: still believes it. I think Jokic is magnificent, and I 998 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 2: think Jamal Murray is really good. To see then what 999 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:18,759 Speaker 2: they did to Minnesota in Games three and four, and 1000 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 2: was Game four just not missing a shot, and anytime 1001 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 2: Minnesota tried to do anything, You're like, wow, these guys 1002 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 2: are a lot better than I thought that they were. 1003 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 2: But then you go and lose by forty five I 1004 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 2: assumed Denver just cashed it in and just said, like, 1005 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,319 Speaker 2: all right, they are out up, up nine to two 1006 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 2: in the first Yeah, the three minutes Minnesota calls timeout, 1007 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,239 Speaker 2: goes on their run, and then it was over. I 1008 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,840 Speaker 2: I guess, I just i'm, I'm I'm actually trusting Michael 1009 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 2: Malone and his team and me like, okay, it's not 1010 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 2: let's save it for Game seven. It's so daunting for 1011 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,719 Speaker 2: Minnesota to win this game. Yes, to think that they 1012 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,360 Speaker 2: could win three or four in Denver in this series 1013 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,360 Speaker 2: is difficult. There's everything to me, even it's hard to 1014 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 2: believe that the team that lost by forty five, you know, 1015 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 2: seventy two hours ago, whatever it's been, is the favorite 1016 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:17,440 Speaker 2: and may have momentum. I just don't think that momentum 1017 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:18,759 Speaker 2: is a part of this. I just think that the 1018 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,279 Speaker 2: Nuggets are I just feel that the Nuggets are gonna win. 1019 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 3: I feel that way as well. But I also this 1020 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 3: series has been so weird, and so could Denver lose 1021 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,720 Speaker 3: three on their home court. I just don't see that happening. 1022 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,440 Speaker 3: But I also didn't see Minnesota winning Game six by 1023 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,480 Speaker 3: forty five, right, So I don't think anybody has a 1024 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:45,160 Speaker 3: clear cut definitive answer on who's gonna win this series, 1025 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,480 Speaker 3: But you're gonna probably lean on We talk about Brunson 1026 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,320 Speaker 3: being the best player in that Knixt series, so you 1027 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 3: expect him to show up begging them to win. I 1028 00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 3: see that same thing happening here with Joker being the 1029 00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,920 Speaker 3: best player on the floor and willing this team. 1030 00:52:58,719 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 2: To a win. 1031 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,920 Speaker 3: But man, I don't know, because you just don't know. 1032 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,160 Speaker 3: With Minnesota, who's gonna show up to the party with 1033 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards? Right, and so I know he will, but 1034 00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 3: will call Anthony Towns show up, which I've told you 1035 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 3: about in the past. I don't have any faith in him. 1036 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 3: Will Jaden McDaniels have twenty one points? I don't think so, right, 1037 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,799 Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to happen. Who you know 1038 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,279 Speaker 3: what I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take Denver to win 1039 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:29,359 Speaker 3: this to win this game, but again, I don't have 1040 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,719 Speaker 3: any faith in it. I just think that they're at 1041 00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 3: home and Joker's the best player. 1042 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:38,000 Speaker 2: Will Dallas, who do you think Dallas wants to win 1043 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 2: this series? Oh? 1044 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,239 Speaker 3: They want Minnesota to win this series for sure, and 1045 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 3: not that Minnesota's not capable of beating him. They are, 1046 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 3: but they haven't been there before and Dallas has actually 1047 00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 3: two years ago against Golden State, right, so they have 1048 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,239 Speaker 3: they would have experience in this one. 1049 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 2: And it goes to the point of of, you know, 1050 00:53:56,120 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert was really getting cooked, especially after Game five, 1051 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,400 Speaker 2: in just in terms of what can you do? But 1052 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 2: really it's kind of not his fault when Jokic is 1053 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:08,319 Speaker 2: being Yokic and. 1054 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,280 Speaker 3: Then some of those shots that the Joker was hitting 1055 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,439 Speaker 3: against him was just ridiculous. So, I mean, it wasn't 1056 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 3: like he was playing terrible defense. You're playing against the 1057 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:18,800 Speaker 3: best player in the world. He's going to make shots. 1058 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,560 Speaker 3: So people were trying to go after this head Draymond Green, 1059 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,400 Speaker 3: you know, publicly trying to humiliate him on purpose. It 1060 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 3: was just it was a little bit much in that scenario. 1061 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 3: But I mean, did he did get cooked though. 1062 00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,000 Speaker 2: How many people do you think are cheering out of 1063 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,360 Speaker 2: ten that are common NBA fans, how many do you 1064 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,800 Speaker 2: think are cheering for Minnesota tonight? Common? 1065 00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:38,920 Speaker 3: I would say out of if it was on a 1066 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 3: scale to ten, I would say seven out of ten. 1067 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:45,719 Speaker 2: I would say eight. So too, yeah, I think that 1068 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,759 Speaker 2: they would want to see Anthony Edwards and they would 1069 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,719 Speaker 2: want to see him against Luca. Yes, I think that 1070 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,920 Speaker 2: that is. And so this also then just goes a 1071 00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,800 Speaker 2: little bit to the point of face of NBA. And 1072 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 2: it's not meant to be turned into a disrespect because 1073 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:05,239 Speaker 2: he doesn't care. He absolutely doesn't care. Just curious on 1074 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,280 Speaker 2: how it plays out. I think Denver ends up winning, yeah, tonight, 1075 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 2: and then and then we got Denver in Dallas. Shut 1076 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,319 Speaker 2: it should be interesting, all right. He's Carrier Roads. I'm 1077 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 2: Dan Byer.

I am 1132 00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:06,320 Speaker 2: never trying to trick you. There may be a technicality 1133 00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,959 Speaker 2: like last night. The Timberwolves play their games in Minneapolis. 1134 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:14,480 Speaker 2: Saint Paul is the capital of Minnesota, and even though 1135 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,480 Speaker 2: they're twin cities, they're not the same. So that's why 1136 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,480 Speaker 2: Minnesota was not one of the teams remaining in the 1137 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,919 Speaker 2: NBA Playoffs that was in a state capitol.

They're the only team 1197 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,640 Speaker 2: in the NFL to not have a primetime game. So 1198 01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,040 Speaker 2: I'm basically telling you Carolina is not one of the roots. 1199 01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,040 Speaker 2: And I was gonna say Carolina for yes, because you 1200 01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:01,280 Speaker 2: think one, You're like, that's not a lot, and then 1201 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 2: you're like, well, zero is less than that.

Who else? 1212 01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:34,200 Speaker 9: Maybe the Colts. 1213 01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,280 Speaker 2: The Colts probably have more. With Anthony richardson coming back, 1214 01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1215 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, but it's it's it's the Colts, Okay, Like it's 1216 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:44,280 Speaker 9: I don't even with Anthony Richards. I don't think people 1217 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,560 Speaker 9: have like bought onto the Richardson hype yet. And it's 1218 01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:50,080 Speaker 9: kind of that weird place where they've just kind of 1219 01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:54,520 Speaker 9: been just yeah whatever.

Good it like 1221 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,480 Speaker 9: I mean they I mean, they got Jim Ba as 1222 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:00,840 Speaker 9: a coach. 1223 01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,720 Speaker 3: But okay, I would out of those three, I would 1224 01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,919 Speaker 3: take uh, actually you said Colts and who else? 1225 01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,560 Speaker 9: Okay, So if only one team has zero games, I'm 1226 01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,080 Speaker 9: gonna say, actually, know what, the Broncos have to have 1227 01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:13,960 Speaker 9: at least one. 1228 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,760 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, they'll have one because it'll be against the 1229 01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:17,400 Speaker 3: chief Sores. 1230 01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,200 Speaker 2: And this is exactly one. This isn't this is I 1231 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:21,840 Speaker 2: mean obviously, yes, they were so. 1232 01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,440 Speaker 9: Bad last year I can't imagine anyone jumping back on 1233 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,760 Speaker 9: there for a while.

Sacramento is 1309 01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:39,080 Speaker 2: also the other answer, and the reason that it had 1310 01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:43,000 Speaker 2: to be phrased that way is because the Sacramento Kings 1311 01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:44,800 Speaker 2: were the Kansas City Kings, and they were once the 1312 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,560 Speaker 2: Cincinnati Royals, and then they once were the Rochester Royals. 1313 01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:51,640 Speaker 2: So when you're talking about like franchises of of where 1314 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:57,000 Speaker 2: they were way back when, h the Rochester Royals. And 1315 01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,560 Speaker 2: I even believe that Cincinnati Royals made it to an 1316 01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,720 Speaker 2: NBA Finals and won NBA title. But also at that point, 1317 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:04,600 Speaker 2: I think they were still in the East. So we 1318 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:07,640 Speaker 2: had to say current Western to win the West, and 1319 01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:11,520 Speaker 2: that's what they ended up. The Milwaukee Bucks won the West, 1320 01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:14,400 Speaker 2: but it was in nineteen you know, the nineteen seventies 1321 01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:16,920 Speaker 2: got it and then switched to the Eastern Conference until 1322 01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,240 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty. So you're not trying to trick us. See 1323 01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:22,760 Speaker 2: see that I'm not trying to trick you. This is 1324 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,839 Speaker 2: a good rule for anybody for the rules of golf, 1325 01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,160 Speaker 2: for the rules of golf, the rules of golf, you 1326 01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,639 Speaker 2: have to use the rules. Sure, they may be there 1327 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,200 Speaker 2: to penalize you, but you also have to use them 1328 01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,000 Speaker 2: to your advantage when you can. That doesn't mean cheat. 1329 01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 2: It just means if they allow you to club lengths 1330 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,799 Speaker 2: and you get a drop and you get a better lie, 1331 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:44,880 Speaker 2: that's what the rule state. It's not cheating, it's just 1332 01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:47,240 Speaker 2: what the rule state. Make sure that you use them 1333 01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:51,200 Speaker 2: to your advantage.

Sunday. There's a I think that 1369 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,519 Speaker 2: there's a difference when you're talking about when there are 1370 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,719 Speaker 2: a lot of sporting events. Is it a two TV day? 1371 01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:46,040 Speaker 2: Is it a three TV day? There's also a day 1372 01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,880 Speaker 2: of Okay, it's not a two TV day, but it's 1373 01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,040 Speaker 2: a flip back and forth. It's a last on the remote, 1374 01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,439 Speaker 2: previous on your roomolt today is a two TV day, 1375 01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:57,599 Speaker 2: it's a two TV yes, So you can't go back 1376 01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,280 Speaker 2: and forth today. It's just not with the out with 1377 01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:04,479 Speaker 2: golf happening, not with the Game seven's happening. And there 1378 01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:06,680 Speaker 2: was a scenario, by the way, you know, when the 1379 01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:09,160 Speaker 2: Timberwolves and Nuggets played a couple of nights ago, they 1380 01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:10,920 Speaker 2: had to wait and see what would happen with Nick's 1381 01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:16,479 Speaker 2: Pacers before their schedules end up being set because this 1382 01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:20,519 Speaker 2: obviously being a game on ABC, the first game being 1383 01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,320 Speaker 2: on ABC could have been a scenario where maybe they 1384 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,640 Speaker 2: were playing the early game, but instead we get the 1385 01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,800 Speaker 2: double dose because there are two Game sevens in Oklahoma 1386 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:32,800 Speaker 2: City this close to playing a Game seven. If Mark 1387 01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:36,439 Speaker 2: Dagnall would have known how to use his timeouts, there 1388 01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:37,840 Speaker 2: maybe would have been a Game seven. 1389 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,960 Speaker 3: I'm glad he did not know how to use them. 1390 01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,920 Speaker 3: I was the recipient of Yeah, malpractice is what you 1391 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:50,599 Speaker 3: called it earlier? Yes, coach, Yes, So I appreciate it, 1392 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:54,920 Speaker 3: and I'm just excited about, you know, Luca and those 1393 01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:57,240 Speaker 3: guys getting a little, you know, a little rest and 1394 01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:58,519 Speaker 3: I have to worry about that game seven. 1395 01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:00,680 Speaker 2: I got some good news and bad news for you 1396 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,960 Speaker 2: quickly before we take a time out with the NBA season. 1397 01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:08,840 Speaker 2: There's just twenty one, twenty three NBA games left of 1398 01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:13,840 Speaker 2: this season maximum that we could have. The good news 1399 01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,519 Speaker 2: is is that there's another month of the NBA season 1400 01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,160 Speaker 2: because this will go into mid June, you know, I mean, 1401 01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:23,080 Speaker 2: we're gonna have the night of the alternating conference finals 1402 01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,200 Speaker 2: back and forth, back and forth. But then when the 1403 01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:28,000 Speaker 2: NBA Finals, they spread it out and the NBA Finals 1404 01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,439 Speaker 2: starting June sixth. By the way, at least, that's what 1405 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:32,600 Speaker 2: the banner at mid court has been telling me in 1406 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 2: various games throughout the last week or so.

Congratulations, Carry Roads. Yes. In taking a look 1425 01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:48,320 Speaker 2: at the NFL schedule that was released on Wednesday last Sunday, 1426 01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,960 Speaker 2: we tried to predict a select number of games for 1427 01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:55,400 Speaker 2: in fact, and the first topic of conversation was who 1428 01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:58,680 Speaker 2: do the Chiefs play on that Thursday night opener? And 1429 01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:01,439 Speaker 2: they could have played the chart could have played, the Raiders, 1430 01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,120 Speaker 2: could have played the Texans could have played the Bengals, 1431 01:14:04,160 --> 01:14:06,840 Speaker 2: but you said, Nope, it's gonna be a rematch of 1432 01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:11,120 Speaker 2: the AFC championship game. Yes, mark it down. You you were, 1433 01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:15,120 Speaker 2: you were steadfast, you were you were strong in your 1434 01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,400 Speaker 2: conviction for that pick. And what do you know, a 1435 01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:19,760 Speaker 2: day later we found out Chiefs and Ravens to open 1436 01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:20,719 Speaker 2: up the NFL season. 1437 01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:24,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you would think that, you know, I know a 1438 01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:26,519 Speaker 3: little bit a little bit about what I'm doing, you 1439 01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,520 Speaker 3: know what I mean, And so it kind of solidified 1440 01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,800 Speaker 3: that fact. We had just you know, come to know 1441 01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,360 Speaker 3: that you and I would be hosting the show together, 1442 01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:37,800 Speaker 3: and so we had that happen and then me come 1443 01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:42,759 Speaker 3: right out right after that and predict that NFL opening 1444 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,040 Speaker 3: night football game. 1445 01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:46,559 Speaker 2: And that was It just kind of went hand in hand. 1446 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,400 Speaker 2: It worked out so well that I thought we're going 1447 01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 2: to go four for four when the schedule was released, 1448 01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:55,160 Speaker 2: Like we were off to such a great start that 1449 01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:57,200 Speaker 2: I thought, this is it, Like this is the one. 1450 01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,960 Speaker 2: And then the schedule came out and we went over three. 1451 01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,679 Speaker 2: But we were not as far off as you would think. 1452 01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,439 Speaker 2: The next game that we had talked about was Cowboys 1453 01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:09,400 Speaker 2: at forty nine Ers because we knew the opponents We 1454 01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:11,640 Speaker 2: knew how that was going to work out, but we 1455 01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:13,320 Speaker 2: just didn't know where it was going to be placed 1456 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:18,160 Speaker 2: in the schedule. We settled on Week five Sunday Night Football. 1457 01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:23,280 Speaker 2: It ended up being Week eight Sunday Night Football. And listen, 1458 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:26,240 Speaker 2: you may say, well, obviously Sunday Night Football, that could 1459 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:27,960 Speaker 2: have been a game that Fox was like, you know, 1460 01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:30,880 Speaker 2: we need this game, we need it with Brady. Instead, 1461 01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,040 Speaker 2: they're going to get I think they're going to get 1462 01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,880 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl rematch the Chiefs Niners in the end 1463 01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:38,840 Speaker 2: of October. But Cowboys forty nine ers will play Week 1464 01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:42,040 Speaker 2: eight Sunday Night Football. We were only three weeks off 1465 01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:44,680 Speaker 2: the one that I feel like we were really off on. 1466 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:48,200 Speaker 2: And it's not our fault. It's the NFL's miss. We 1467 01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,439 Speaker 2: tried to predict when they would put Kirk Cousins return 1468 01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,840 Speaker 2: to Minnesota, and this was a bigger game I thought 1469 01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:59,280 Speaker 2: on the schedule than maybe what the NFL thought we 1470 01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,200 Speaker 2: had settled on. And Berschinger said, let's do Week four 1471 01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:06,320 Speaker 2: Monday Night Football earlier in the season. Not only is 1472 01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:09,600 Speaker 2: it not on Monday Night Football, it's Week fourteen in 1473 01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:13,840 Speaker 2: a regular one o'clock Eastern time kick. Oh so there's 1474 01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:17,240 Speaker 2: no pizzazz with the kirk Cousins return at that point. 1475 01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:20,519 Speaker 2: This kind of forgot wanted us to forget about it. 1476 01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:24,280 Speaker 2: And there's a chance that the Vikings could be a 1477 01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:26,680 Speaker 2: three win team at that point, who knows, who knows 1478 01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,920 Speaker 2: if JJ McCarthy will take over the starting job at 1479 01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:31,840 Speaker 2: that point could be the case. Three and fourteen would 1480 01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:33,400 Speaker 2: be in the season's over, so they won't have that 1481 01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:35,240 Speaker 2: bad of a record. But you know, they may only 1482 01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,879 Speaker 2: be a three win team. And if kirk Cousins returns 1483 01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,840 Speaker 2: and Atlanta's you know, a good football team, maybe it 1484 01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:43,080 Speaker 2: just won't have the pizaz that it once did. Our 1485 01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:46,200 Speaker 2: final one, the final one that we thought Carolina at 1486 01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 2: Washington we thought was going to be a Week ten, 1487 01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:53,720 Speaker 2: one o'clock Eastern time game is what we picked. It's 1488 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:58,400 Speaker 2: Week seven, but a four or five Eastern time game. Yeah, 1489 01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:00,479 Speaker 2: so the two worst teams in the NFL. Well, we 1490 01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:03,000 Speaker 2: weren't too far off. There was our report card. Now, 1491 01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,040 Speaker 2: I mentioned that there's one team that I am sick 1492 01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,200 Speaker 2: of seeing. And when we did the question of who 1493 01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:11,559 Speaker 2: has the one who has one primetime game this year, 1494 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:14,160 Speaker 2: that there were four teams Carolina didn't have any well, 1495 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:18,040 Speaker 2: there are three teams that had six primetime games, the Jets, 1496 01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:23,920 Speaker 2: which is absurd. Again, I understand that there's flex scheduling, 1497 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,160 Speaker 2: but you saw what happened with Aaron Rodgers last year 1498 01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,439 Speaker 2: when you tried to load up early in the season 1499 01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:31,560 Speaker 2: and then we got awful football Jets, Niners, and Cowboys. 1500 01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,680 Speaker 2: I don't think it's any surprise that the Niners and 1501 01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:37,479 Speaker 2: Cowboys got it. I'm surprised that the Chiefs weren't included 1502 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,599 Speaker 2: in that. But the Chiefs are in this scenario where 1503 01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:45,440 Speaker 2: they're playing a bunch of games that maybe aren't primetime, 1504 01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:50,080 Speaker 2: but they're in standalone windows. In fact, because the NFL 1505 01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:53,240 Speaker 2: is playing on Christmas Day, which is a Wednesday this year, 1506 01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:55,880 Speaker 2: they have taken those four teams that will play on 1507 01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,600 Speaker 2: Christmas Day and have those four teams actually play this 1508 01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:04,879 Speaker 2: Saturday before. So the Texans, Ravens, Chiefs, and the Pittsburgh 1509 01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:07,960 Speaker 2: Steelers will be playing Saturday, and then they'll kind of 1510 01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,240 Speaker 2: switch opponents and play Wednesday, so it'll be a short 1511 01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:12,160 Speaker 2: week like it would be for them if they were 1512 01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,200 Speaker 2: to play on a Thursday night. That's how the NFL 1513 01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:16,400 Speaker 2: is going to get by and having a Christmas day 1514 01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:19,720 Speaker 2: game of games on Christmas Day when Christmas is a Wednesday. 1515 01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 2: But I'm telling you carry I am sick of seeing 1516 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:28,679 Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers on primetime. I understand that their fans 1517 01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:34,280 Speaker 2: jumped on the bandwagon in the nineteen seventies because they 1518 01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:37,320 Speaker 2: were winning games, and then they got to continue to 1519 01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,559 Speaker 2: win when Ben Roethlisberger and Bill Kawer and then Mike 1520 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:44,760 Speaker 2: Tomlin were leading them to greatness. But I am just 1521 01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:48,479 Speaker 2: there's is nothing appealing about them. I don't care as 1522 01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:52,960 Speaker 2: much about Russell Wilson working or not working. I know 1523 01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,240 Speaker 2: we're catering to a fan base. I used to be 1524 01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:56,760 Speaker 2: so mad that I had to see so much of 1525 01:18:56,760 --> 01:19:01,960 Speaker 2: the Giants, Washington and Philadelphia. I get the Cowboys, but 1526 01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:03,920 Speaker 2: like the other ones that I'm sicking of, Like now, 1527 01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,280 Speaker 2: my my angst has turned to the Pittsburgh Steelers. 1528 01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,160 Speaker 3: I was just about to say, what's what's with the 1529 01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 3: disdain with with Pittsburgh. 1530 01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,120 Speaker 2: I just don't think they're exciting. Like they have the 1531 01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,919 Speaker 2: same amount of games of primetime games as the Houston Texans. 1532 01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:18,880 Speaker 2: Who would you rather watch? Oh the Texans? Yeah, absolutely absolutely. 1533 01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:22,479 Speaker 2: I would even say that the Chargers and Bears are 1534 01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,280 Speaker 2: more appealing with their stories in who they are. They 1535 01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,479 Speaker 2: have fewer primetime games than the Pittsburgh Steelers. I get 1536 01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:30,400 Speaker 2: why they do it. I just I don't have to 1537 01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:33,800 Speaker 2: be happy about it. So, yeah, the Steelers aren't fun. 1538 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,000 Speaker 2: There haven't been a team that can score a points, 1539 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,519 Speaker 2: so they don't put up points. You're gonna play tough defense, 1540 01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:40,200 Speaker 2: They're gonna be like right in the game. But it 1541 01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:42,840 Speaker 2: is a boor and brand of football for sure. Just 1542 01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,280 Speaker 2: you know, even though I won't even give him a break. 1543 01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:47,120 Speaker 2: Even thore was a time when Big Ben was winging 1544 01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,080 Speaker 2: it around. Yeah, and and you had palam olive flying 1545 01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:52,519 Speaker 2: around everywhere. That that was. That was exciting. But at 1546 01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:55,599 Speaker 2: some point it's just like all right the Steelers again, 1547 01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:57,680 Speaker 2: like why and and by the way, those four time 1548 01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,640 Speaker 2: time games don't even count for Christmas Day or that 1549 01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:04,719 Speaker 2: special Saturday window. There are four other primetime games because 1550 01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:08,439 Speaker 2: of it. Uh, let's let's end this. I mentioned the 1551 01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:13,120 Speaker 2: Dustin Johnson audio in how we pronounced Louisville. This was 1552 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:17,600 Speaker 2: Dustin Johnson's crack added on ESPN earlier this week. 1553 01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:21,200 Speaker 8: Louisville incorrect. 1554 01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:29,080 Speaker 2: Okay, Louisville that that's what everybody says, didn't I say 1555 01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:34,240 Speaker 2: it right? No, it's not Louisville. Not Louisville is Oh Chris, 1556 01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:34,800 Speaker 2: how's your. 1557 01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:38,200 Speaker 1: Monson?
