1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. 2 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 2: What is up Fire Fire? It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight 3 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 2: Oh Year for Thursday, February the nineteenth. Programming note, I'll 4 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 2: be hosting The Herd later this morning obviously FS one 5 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 2: with Rachel Nichols, who's back from the Olympics. Rob how 6 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 2: much Olympics have you consumed so far in the last 7 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 2: I don't know, three weeks. I don't even know how 8 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 2: long the Olympics has been happening. 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 3: If it's on, I'll watch it, but I am not 10 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 3: seeing it out. 11 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 2: Yeah. Is it on tape delay or do they avoid that? 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 3: I think it's both. So the times I've seen it 13 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 3: on TV, it's a replay of something that happened earlier 14 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 3: in the day. But I also have seen it on 15 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 3: another TV because they have four different events going at 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 3: once saying this one is live. So yeah, we're getting 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 3: all of it. 18 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: I can't do the whole like tape delay stuff, that's 19 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: just not now. I do have a buddy who is 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: like a big time Iowa basketball fan and football fan, 21 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: and he will like go dark if he can't watch 22 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: the game live and record it and watch it later. 23 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: And I used to try that. It just doesn't work. 24 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: I used to do that on like March Madness and stuff. 25 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 2: It just doesn't work. There's too much info. If anything 26 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: good happens, it's online. And yeah, I don't know. I'm 27 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: not into playing catch up. But well, we're not talking 28 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: about the Olympics today. I was ready to do an 29 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: Eileen Goose story. I think that's how you say her name. 30 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: But this Kevin Durant burner stuff is just spiraling out 31 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: of control now. Faithful listeners as a podcast know that 32 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: I am a big Kevin Durant fan. We've had some 33 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 2: chats online, shall we say in the DMS. He responds, 34 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 2: usually swiftly and aggressively. I mean the guy, best I 35 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: can tell, Robbie has no kids, right, No, okay, so 36 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: no kids, no wife that I can tell. I guess 37 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,919 Speaker 2: he's basically just one of these young guys. Not NBA age, 38 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: but just young. If you're thirty five, you're young. And 39 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: he's on his phone all the time, and he's texting people, 40 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: and he's in group chats, and he's got burners. Seems 41 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: like a lot of work to juggle multiple burners. But 42 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't have time for that crap, 43 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: and he's got himself in now a major pickle. And 44 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: I've kind of been holding off on this because I 45 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 2: didn't know whether this stuff was real or not. You 46 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: never know. There's so much fake stuff with AI these days, right, 47 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: But what happened now is it's so everywhere that when 48 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: Durant met the media Tuesday after practice, the first question 49 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: is about the Burners and your teammates and former teammates. 50 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 2: I mean he called Russell Wilson a cocaine cocaine bear 51 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: triple double or. 52 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 3: Something, Russell Westbrook, not Russell Wilson. 53 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry, yes, Russell, Yeah. I mean he just 54 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: he'll say anything about anyone, which is fine on text message, right, Like, 55 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't you guys are on text chains. 56 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: Come on, tell me you don't say stuff. Obviously you 57 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: do and you just don't expect it to get leaked. Now. 58 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: I don't really care that he went after former teammates, 59 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: And to me, it doesn't matter that he's talking about, 60 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 2: you know, Chris Paul and Drake Versus Kendrick. I don't 61 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: really care that stuff. I don't care about. What perked 62 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: my interest was the commentary on Current teammate alper En 63 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: Shenguon allegedly, and you gotta say, allegedly, for all this stuff, 64 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 2: I'm gonna turn the ball over with his shitty ass team. IDGAF. 65 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 2: Your franchise player can't shoot or defend. That's a way 66 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 2: bigger issue than my turnovers. Remember, these guys are your future, 67 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: So listen, Shanguon is a young guy. What is he? 68 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: Twenty four rop and you know you'd expect your veteran 69 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: to be more of a leader as opposed to just 70 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: trashing Shangun. Now, again, this is on a group chat, allegedly, 71 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: the Hoops and Vibes group chat. Obviously, people were criticizing 72 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: Durant for a turnover late. I think this game was 73 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: against okay see, but he was then pinning it on 74 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: Shengon because he can't shoot or defend. And first of all, 75 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: I don't know that he's a franchise player. I mean 76 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: he's very very good. I would say he's a top 77 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: twenty player in the league, top twenty five rob Is 78 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: that fair? 79 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair? 80 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: Okay to just hammer him like that, These guys are 81 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: your future, and you're basically saying that's a bigger issue 82 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: and then about Jabari Smith, who was a former top 83 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: five pick, and you know whatever, he's fine. Kevin Durant, 84 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: he's low key retarded. What are we doing? KD? And 85 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: it just I don't know, Rob. I saw the video 86 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 2: of KD at All Star Weekend. I guess before the game. 87 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 2: Maybe this started the pop. 88 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: I don't know. 89 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 2: And he's just on his phone as everybody's warming up 90 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 2: on the court, He's just like pacing back and forth. 91 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: It gave me the impression that he's extremely nervous about this. 92 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: And then when he met the media, he tried to 93 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: deflect it by saying, I don't get into the Twitter stuff. Meanwhile, 94 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 2: and he does media and always talks about social media 95 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: like he's on there and quoting like and to now 96 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 2: deflect it, and he had kind of a serious face, 97 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 2: not even like making a joke. Rob. Listen, you know 98 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: I like KD. I called him a fringe top ten 99 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: player all time. I just this is not the way 100 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 2: you want to go out, is it. Like Chris Paul 101 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: went out pretty darkly with the Clippers. He goes back there. 102 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: It was supposed to be a good run. He tries 103 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: to be a leader. People are like, yo, you know, know, 104 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: your place gets into beef with the coach tries to 105 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: be a leader to the young guys. They're like, we don't, 106 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 2: we don't want it, we don't want to hear it 107 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: all ahead, and then they just have to cut him, 108 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 2: and then he he just announces to retire on social media, 109 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 2: like out with a whimper for Chris Paul, I don't 110 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 2: think Kevin Durant's quite there yet. The Rockets throw my 111 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 2: preseason pick to win the title, and then of course 112 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: Van Vliet gets hurt, Steven Adams down, and now you've 113 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: got the Kevin Durant social media drama again. I'm not 114 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: blaming him for saying this stuff privately to friends on 115 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: a group chat, but now that it's out, I think 116 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: he's got a mend fence. I think he's kind of 117 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: got to own this, doesn't he rob? 118 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 3: I would hope so. And you know, good on him 119 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 3: and his PR team for the way they handled the 120 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: media questions on two. So you knew he was gonna 121 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 3: get asked like you knew that whether even though this 122 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: is all circumstantial evidence and there's really no smoking gun 123 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: because it's a burner account, it didn't say from at 124 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 3: Katie dre five. It didn't say from at easy Money 125 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 3: sniper on it like this is Burner accounts, So you 126 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 3: knew he was gonna ask about it, and he did 127 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: a good job by saying, basically, I'm not going to 128 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 3: talk about social media stuff. I'm worried about my team. 129 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: And then they asked him follow up. He's like, Hey, 130 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 3: my team's you know, we're locked in, we're ready for 131 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 3: the road trip coming up. We're ready to play basketball. 132 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 3: That's exactly pr one oh one. How you handle a 133 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 3: crisis in that situation publicly, great job by him Privately, However, 134 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 3: he's going to have to really have a Kumbaya moment 135 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 3: with his team because if the national media, if the 136 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 3: Twitter sphere, if sport fans, if Rocket fans all believe 137 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 3: that you were behind these tweets or these dms, I 138 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: promise you your teammates think so too, because even if 139 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: they're like, you know what, Katie's always been really solid 140 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: to me. He's a really nice guy, treats me well. 141 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 3: You know, he's my vet on the team. You know, 142 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 3: I really respect him, always looked up to him. You 143 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: cannot tell me that even his most staunch defenders in 144 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 3: that locker room and an organization don't have somebody else 145 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: in their ear, whether it's another friend or a brother 146 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 3: or a sister or a wife or whoever saying. Can 147 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 3: you believe that what Kevin was saying about you or 148 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: about this guy, or about this player or about this coach? 149 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: Like what's going on? Are you guys okay? And eventually 150 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 3: it's gonna get to a point where either Kevin is 151 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 3: gonna have to stand up in front of his team 152 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 3: and say, yes, I said these things. They were inappropriate, 153 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 3: they were private. I never meant to disrespect you guys. 154 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: It was all jokes. Yeah. Yet, whatever he has to 155 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 3: do because if he does not, and if he decides, 156 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 3: he's gonna sweep it under the rug and play this 157 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 3: card that you know, it's all burner accounts, it's not 158 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 3: actually me, Like, you don't think that I would actually 159 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 3: say these things, do you. It's going to fester, and 160 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 3: it's going to cause a divide in that locker room, 161 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: and it's gonna lead to a situation where ema Udoka 162 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 3: is gonna have to step up and do something about it, 163 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 3: or operate Sangoon's gonna do something about it, or God forbid, 164 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 3: Jabari Smith.

Well, obviously everybody says something. 213 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: The alternative way to look at it is who cares? 214 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 2: I said this big deal, we're all gonna die and 215 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: nobody's gonna care the end, you know, Like that's what 216 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: way to look at it.

He gets hurt, he's out for the season, 222 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 2: so now they have a leadership void.

But to me, the worst part all of 261 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 3: this was, now you have to be concerned that somebody 262 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 3: in your camp, in your close friends, because this was 263 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 3: a private group chat. One of the guys whose handle 264 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: was included in that group chat, allegedly again was his 265 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 3: producer of his podcast or its closed of his podcast 266 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 3: that he had for a few years.

Mentioning some historical names let's see if 329 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 2: there's any more Lakers they are against the Lakers obviously. Oh, 330 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 2: they have two against the Lakers. Wait, both in Houston 331 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 2: Monday March sixteenth, Wednesday March eighteenth, Peacock and ESPN games 332 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 2: the Rockets, Rob, Oh my gosh, they got ABC Peacock 333 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 2: Prime Prime, NBC, ESPN Peacock ESPN, ESPN, NBC Peacock Prime. 334 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 2: They got a lot of primetime games. This is not 335 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 2: going away anytime soon. If you were the Lakers, I 336 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: think this plays into your hands. You now want to fit. 337 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 2: I think you want to face Houston in the first round. Now, 338 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 2: maybe I'm going too far, but you know, in two 339 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 2: months will just be water under the bridge. Maybe, But 340 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: you know the way the media is now, Rob, And 341 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: I'm not blaming the media here, but the media wants 342 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: stories that are the most clicked on, the most talked about. 343 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 2: The best way to ensure job security is get some 344 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 2: stuff that pops. And I'm fairly certain that this weekend 345 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 2: in New York, KD is gonna be asked all about 346 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 2: the KD files. 347 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 3: You think, like, I don't think you're talking about the 348 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 3: term when you say that you want to face Houston 349 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 3: in the playoffs now, because they are already having a 350 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 3: rough stretch recently, Like they there when Steve Adams got 351 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 3: hurt like that, that was a big fabric of their team, 352 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: of their offense was we're just gonna throw throw shots 353 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 3: up on the rim and we're gonna grab every offensive 354 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 3: rebound and we're gonna win that way. We're gonna beat 355 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 3: the hell out of you inside, and that's how we're 356 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 3: gonna win, because we don't have the most creative offense 357 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 3: in the NBA, Like, that's how we win. He gets hurt, 358 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 3: that that goes away. So now you're asking KD and 359 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 3: Shangun to just bail them out in a lot of situations, 360 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 3: which they can, but to do that every night is 361 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 3: a lot to ask of anybody. So they kind of 362 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 3: been slipping down the standings a little bit as last 363 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 3: month and a half or so. And now you get 364 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 3: into a situation where if you get into a playoffs here, 365 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 3: you're facing the same team seven times. We have a 366 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 3: mind minimum four. It's not hard for Dylan Brooks or 367 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 3: Jared Vanderbilt or some nondescript role player to get in 368 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 3: Jabari Smith's ear. Oh and say hey Man Street you're 369 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 3: saying you're retarded, Like you know what I mean, Like 370 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 3: it's not hard to just needle these guys repeatedly, three four, 371 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: five nights in a row to a point where you're 372 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 3: gonna see mental cracks throughout that team. Where it might 373 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 3: not affect KD because he's such a great player, but 374 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 3: you cannot tell me you won't affect everybody else. 375 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: Oh that's spicy Dylan, Dylan the villain going after him. 376 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 377 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio 378 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search f SR 379 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: to listen live. 380 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: I will say, as the NBA returns tonight, they've done 381 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 2: a good job. Man. I don't know where you are 382 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 2: on this Pistons Nicks, but that is as good of 383 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 2: a matchup as you can get. Coming out of the 384 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 2: break the Pistons, I will say, Rob, I don't get 385 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 2: all this love for Detroit. Obviously they're really good the 386 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 2: offensive and defensive efficiency. Their top ten Caid Cunningham is, 387 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 2: you know, if you want a sneaky MVP bet so 388 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 2: it looks like Luca will have no shot at the MVP. 389 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 2: I did break this down courtesy of a researcher. So 390 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,959 Speaker 2: Luca can only miss five of the final twenty eight 391 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 2: games to be eligible for the MVP. He's probably gonna 392 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: miss five, right, one be can only miss three, so 393 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 2: you eliminate them. Yokich can only miss one. Do you 394 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 2: really see him playing every single game the rest of 395 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 2: the way, I mean as possible. I think he'll fall out. 396 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 2: So the two guys left, you have to play sixty 397 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 2: five games to be eligible. Sga can miss ten and 398 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: Kid can miss eleven if they're extra cautious with Kate SGA. 399 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 3: I think that's where. 400 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 2: Caid slides in and could take the MVP, especially if 401 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 2: the number one seed in the East is Detroit and 402 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: it looks like it's gonna be Detroit number one. 403 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 3: No, I don't know about number one overall. 404 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 2: Do you think they'll be able to uh take that 405 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 2: from Okay, see, they are currently one and a half 406 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 2: games back. 407 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: Not having looked at their schedule, I think I'm sorry, wait, wait, Rob, 408 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 3: they're they're up. 409 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're up forty and thirteen Oklahoma City forty two 410 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: and fourteen. Right, so it's like they're up by like 411 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: it looks like half a game. 412 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 1: I guess. 413 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, Obviously scheduling is the biggest thing, but the fact 414 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 3: that they play in the Leastern Conference and they're one 415 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 3: of those teams kind of like Tim's Nicks. You know, 416 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 3: your Knicks for the last couple of years before you know, 417 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: he got asked. They just play hard every night, and 418 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 3: that is a skill in today's NBA. When it's like 419 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 3: the second out of a back to back, a random 420 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 3: Wednesday in Orlando followed by a random Friday night game 421 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 3: in Atlanta, and there you know, you've got the Kings 422 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 3: and they're not really trying to win. The Wizards aren't 423 00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 3: really trying to win, Like you can just roll through 424 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 3: teams by playing hard. So I could definitely see them 425 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 3: being the number one overall seed in the playoffs. 426 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. Detroit has the Spur Tankathon the seventh easiest schedule. 427 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 2: OKAC has the second I'm sorry, second hardest for OKAC, 428 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 2: Detroit seventh hardest. Nicks are at eleven. The hardest schedule 429 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: left is Denver, which is interesting. They have three left 430 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 2: against OKAC, three against the Spurs, two against the Lakers, 431 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 2: one Celtics, one Nicks, one Rockets. That is a pretty 432 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 2: brutal schedule, and if they don't get Aaron Gordon back, 433 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 2: I think you see Denver maybe slide down and then 434 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: Yokic misses some games. Oka se second hardest, followed by Minnesota, Chicago, Boston, Brooklyn, 435 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 2: Detroit Cap Cunningham currently plus fourteen hundred. Uh, I'm not 436 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 2: gonna bet that. Let's see sga wod Do you think 437 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 2: they'd give him back to back or the would the 438 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 2: media consider Kate cunning him? I do believe actually, you 439 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 2: know what, what's fourteen hundred might not be a bad bet. 440 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 3: Rob. I tell you what, We're gonna find out very 441 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 3: quickly because I think Friday, ESPN will release their MVP 442 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 3: quarterbole race like they do like two or three of 443 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 3: those a year, and it's all the same voters who 444 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 3: actually vote for the awards, and it's been a very 445 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 3: clear barometer on how voters are leaning. So if you 446 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 3: see on Friday that Shay still has a comfortable lead 447 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 3: as he did in the first batch, I think they 448 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 3: do it three times a year during the regular season, 449 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 3: then it would make a lot of sense to bet 450 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 3: money on Jay Okay. 451 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 2: So oh, if you look at player efficiency rating, Jokic 452 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,479 Speaker 2: one Jannis to Shay is three damn. Cave Cunningham is 453 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 2: twentyth Damn. 454 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 3: I wonder if. 455 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 2: Plus fourteen hundred could be true shooting percent of totally 456 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 2: cal SGA sixty seven. Kate, you know, as a I 457 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 2: guess he's more of a pure point, right would you 458 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 2: agree with that if he. 459 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 3: Were to win, to be the narrative it wouldn't because 460 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 3: of numbers. 461 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know the media loves that stuff. Hey, 462 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 2: Detroit's been irrelevant. They're now the number one seed, okay, 463 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: see all. 464 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, especially if they have the best record in the league, 465 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 3: then that's a huge, huge feather in his cap. 466 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 2: If I said, Rob, give me the ten best players 467 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 2: in okay, see Detroit, what are we looking at? Eight 468 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 2: to two? 469 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 3: Okay, see like seven to three? Probably who would be 470 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 3: the other Detroit player to get in? I mean, Duran 471 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 3: if Tobias Harris, we're shuting this down future Laker Tobias 472 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 3: hair Beef Stew's good. He could be like nine or 473 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 3: ten on that work. 474 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 2: Come on, he's a goon. 475 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 3: He's good. 476 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 2: And he's also suspended I believe for seven games. 477 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 3: Yes he is. 478 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 2: I mean I would take okay, se Has, I would 479 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: probably take case on Wallace over anybody like I'm not 480 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 2: named caid Or or Duran Chet obviously Jdubb Ja. 481 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 3: Dub has not been good this year. He's been hurt, 482 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 3: so that's a big problem. He's got the wrist thing 483 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 3: and I was at a hamster righting. 484 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 2: I agree, not been good this year, but compared to Detroit, Like, 485 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 2: I don't know, you just don't. 486 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 3: Like Detroit because you're a nixt guy. 487 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I actually like, I don't dislike Detroit. Let 488 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 2: me just look at their stets. So Cad Dury and 489 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 2: Duran sorry, Tobias Harris is their third leading scorer. Dunkin 490 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: Robinson is four. Oh, I'm star.
