Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by all State. Some
Speaker 1: people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance
Speaker 1: by checking all State first, Like you know to check
Speaker 1: the date of the Big Game first before you accidentally
Speaker 1: buy tickets on your twentieth wedding anniversary and have to
Speaker 1: spend the next twenty years of your marriage making up

Speaker 1: State first for a quote that could save you hundreds.
Speaker 1: You're in good hands with all States savings. Very terms
Speaker 1: apply All State Fire and Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois.
Speaker 2: So what do you think I should do with the
Speaker 2: Durant stuff on Twitter?
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of like kind hearted, but like
Speaker 3: given his situation right now, it's kind hearted.
Speaker 2: And so here's the when I say, what do you
Speaker 2: think I should do with it? Because this last time
Speaker 2: was some random person that tweeted him about me. It's
Speaker 2: not like I had said anything about him or mentioned
Speaker 2: him or anything. The question is, because it's Kevin Durant,
Speaker 2: should I acknowledge it and respond to it every time?
Speaker 2: Or should I ignore? I feel like an oblig gash
Speaker 2: to reply to reply because it's Kevin durant.
Speaker 3: But you know, I mean, the god thinks he's a god,
Speaker 3: so he probably thinks you are going to reply to him.
Speaker 3: So I just treat him like a regular fan and
Speaker 3: just be like, no, this.
Speaker 2: Is something maybe we can get into it. If people
Speaker 2: didn't see it, the tweets were he said, anyone do
Speaker 2: my job? He said I was trash. He said I
Speaker 2: make millions of dollars, So that part was and he
Speaker 2: called me everything except for the name I go by,
Speaker 2: which isn't.
Speaker 4: It Welcome in.
Speaker 2: It is episode eighteen of What's Right with Nick Wright,
Speaker 2: the podcast and the YouTube show like rate, Subscribe Review,
Speaker 2: and we are continuing every Sunday our countdown of the
Speaker 2: fifty greatest players of the last fifty years. We have
Speaker 2: individual videos for those full episodes. If you want a
Speaker 2: deep dive on Bob McAdoo, I am your guy. But
Speaker 2: also we will get into the top twenty five. Where
Speaker 2: do we have James Harden versus John Stockton? Where does
Speaker 2: Kevin Garnett stack up? Chris Paul how high can he climb?
Speaker 2: All that coming out in future episodes, But before we
Speaker 2: get into today's show, we must discuss what we are
Speaker 2: not discussing it's just a little method to get into
Speaker 2: the show. So what's not on today's show. The NFL
Speaker 2: schedule releases not on today's show because it comes out
Speaker 2: Thursday night and we are recording Wednesday afternoon. Tom Brady
Speaker 2: potentially coming for your seat. The mom's ay, Tom Brady
Speaker 2: gonna walk out of the NFL and walk right into
Speaker 2: the number one share at Fox, which is unbelievable for
Speaker 2: the company and Club Superstar drama. So we're not talking
Speaker 2: about that, except we are gonna talk about it for
Speaker 2: just a moment. Here's the deal. On First Things First,
Speaker 2: we came out with Club Superstar. It's an amazing piece
Speaker 2: of art done by Jack Perkins on Twitter. I'm at
Speaker 2: pure hoop. The idea is too many people say this
Speaker 2: guy's superstar, that guy's superstar, and I said, it's like
Speaker 2: a great nightclub one in one out twelve people Max.
Speaker 2: We debuted it the other day on First Things First.
Speaker 2: And then that's Charlatan A mean al Hassen, who was
Speaker 2: just writing Dan Levittard's Coattails to Glory, Fame and Fortune
Speaker 2: said I stole this idea from him and Zach Harper
Speaker 2: from there, you know, moderately successful barely listened to Sirius
Speaker 2: XM radio show. For me to steal the idea, i'd
Speaker 2: have to be aware of the idea, and their idea
Speaker 2: was not a club superstar who was an MVP bar.
Speaker 2: It doesn't even have a one in, one out policy.
Speaker 2: Just nonsense. I am not above stealing things from other
Speaker 2: media empors. I've stolen many things from the Church of Laslow,
Speaker 2: a radio show in Kansas City that nobody outside of
Speaker 2: kans City ruling out on a few cities, but a
Speaker 2: lot a lot of sportsmans don't know about. I steal
Speaker 2: things from them all the time, and I admit to it.
Speaker 2: And I even stole from Levatard show once I stole
Speaker 2: the whole the thing I do at the end of
Speaker 2: shows where I complain about technological advancements that have made
Speaker 2: things worse, that's just Greg Cody's back in my day.
Speaker 2: He's been doing that for years.
Speaker 5: So awareness is great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I will steal, but I will admit that
Speaker 2: I have stolen Jacoby from Jail. On Jacoby a ESPN,
Speaker 2: I didn't realize it was him at first, but he
Speaker 2: called the nets an NFT like not a real tangible thing.
Speaker 2: I said that on THEMANI Show. But I said it
Speaker 2: wasn't my idea. I said someone else said this. I
Speaker 2: couldn't remember as Jacoby. So I will steal, but I
Speaker 2: will admit I stole. I didn't take a means a
Speaker 2: means of club or bar MVP. That's silly club superstar.
Speaker 2: On the other hand, one in one out policy with
Speaker 2: a specially commissioned, multi thousand dollars piece of art that
Speaker 2: I paid for out of my own pockets. It's a
Speaker 2: beautiful piece of art. It's beautiful. People should check it out. Okay,
Speaker 2: Deman's you're ready for today's show. I'm a little itchy today, man,
Speaker 2: my ear itches. I don't know. I feel like I
Speaker 2: an allergic reaction. I'm not sure what's going on. Will
Speaker 2: power through it because we have a lot to do today.
Speaker 2: What are we leading with today?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 3: So Katie came into it on Twitter again with a
Speaker 3: series of tweets. I've got a comment and then a question.
Speaker 5: Okay uh.
Speaker 3: He says that anybody could do your job. Are I
Speaker 3: a living.
Speaker 5: Proof of that?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 2: Before you ask your question, let's find out real quick.
Speaker 5: Okay, see it?
Speaker 2: Give me forty five seconds right now. On Sons maps
Speaker 2: from last night.
Speaker 5: Oh geez, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: So no, nobody, anybody can't do my job. I'm a
Speaker 2: professional takesman. The idea that does anybody.
Speaker 3: Professional takes Did you just make that up?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I did? You know? You know how you can come
Speaker 2: up with good turns of phrase like that on a
Speaker 2: fly if you're a professional wordsmith, a takesman, someone who teas,
Speaker 2: someone who consumes sports and immediately is thinking, how can
Speaker 2: I make.
Speaker 3: A few seconds on suns Ma Mavericks gott freaking blown
Speaker 3: outa don just had a you know, decent game.
Speaker 5: What else are Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like Chris what is I don't know his first name,
Speaker 3: but Chris, Chris, the little floppy thing into the other
Speaker 3: locker room.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's right, all right, that's what we would call
Speaker 2: a recap of things everyone already knew. That is not
Speaker 2: exactly going to cause our ratings bonanza. That is not
Speaker 2: going to cause people to tune in. So the idea
Speaker 2: that everyone can do my job false. People think they
Speaker 2: could do my job, but they can't. If they could,
Speaker 2: more people will do it. I don't have this job
Speaker 2: because I'm good looking. I don't have this job because
Speaker 2: I have this amazing voice. It's because the takes are
Speaker 2: so sharp and insightful, and occasionally I have a little
Speaker 2: inside information. So can are there more people in the
Speaker 2: world who can do what I do than can do
Speaker 2: what Kevin Durant does? Yes, of course, Can anyone do
Speaker 2: my job? No, of course not. But you said you're
Speaker 2: a comment in a question. I didn't even let you
Speaker 2: get to the question. Go ahead and do the question. Narcissism,
Speaker 2: So narcissist.
Speaker 3: Wow, So the question is why do you think Katie
Speaker 3: is singling you out like that on Twitter?
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is my question it and this is
Speaker 2: what I can't figure out.
Speaker 3: Does Katie hate me or really like see that's what
Speaker 3: That's what I was thinking, Like, I don't think that
Speaker 3: he's uh. I think it is like me and fun
Speaker 3: like frenemies exactly freely.
Speaker 2: Because here's the thing. If people didn't see this exchange,
Speaker 2: someone I didn't tweet to him. Someone tweeted to Durant,
Speaker 2: did you see nick Wright's Club Superstar segment? He had
Speaker 2: a funny line about Kyrie, right, And Durant responded and said,
Speaker 2: I didn't see it, but I'm sure it was trash.
Speaker 2: Anyone can do Nicky's job, and he calls me nicky.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: He then says because someone's like, hey, don't be mean
Speaker 2: to nick. And he says, he makes millions of dollars,
Speaker 2: thanks Katie, appreciate that, and so he's subject for criticism.
Speaker 2: That's how this works, right, And I did respond to that.
Speaker 2: I said, that is actually exactly how this works. You
Speaker 2: are correct, Kevin Durant. I am in the public eye.
Speaker 2: I have a big boy job with big compensation that
Speaker 2: I have decided to put myself out there. Anything someone
Speaker 2: wants to say about my job performance and even minor
Speaker 2: personal shots are fair, right. And I think Kevin Durant
Speaker 2: thought he was like check making, it's like check meeting
Speaker 2: me Like, oh, you don't like when it happens to you.
Speaker 2: But isn't that what they say about me? Like I
Speaker 2: make millions of dollars, I should be able to expected.
Speaker 3: You to take a Kyrie's standpoint of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you are subject to criticism like that is what
Speaker 2: goes with the territory, And so I don't. I am
Speaker 2: a big believer that I've never been. I have been
Speaker 2: mean at times to Durant, but I've never been out
Speaker 2: of bounds. I've never been unfair. I didn't participate when
Speaker 2: people were making fun of his ankles. Never that I
Speaker 2: thought that was I thought that was out of bounds.
Speaker 2: I was like, you know what, I'm gonna sit in
Speaker 2: this one out fellas. I feel like, A that's not
Speaker 2: necessarily a white person conversation, and B I'm not I'm
Speaker 2: not participating in that. So I don't think I've ever
Speaker 2: really gone overboard, and I don't think he's going overboard
Speaker 2: with me. And then, but here's the other thing when
Speaker 2: I say I don't know for friends or enemies, because
Speaker 2: I then tweeted at least I had you in Club
Speaker 2: Superstar Kevin. I put at least I had you in
Speaker 2: Club Superstar Kevin. I don't think people really call him Kevin.
Speaker 2: They call him K or KD. And that's why he
Speaker 2: wrote thank you Nicholas and did the handshake emoji. So
Speaker 2: I you know what, we had low Wayne on this
Speaker 2: show is a great time. We don't really do guests
Speaker 2: on this show. I was thinking about trying to get
Speaker 2: Ti on the show because I had him in my
Speaker 2: top five, and I don't think a lot of people do.
Speaker 2: I want to get Durantle. I think Durant and I
Speaker 2: sitting down. I don't think it would be all lovey dovey,
Speaker 2: but I think there is a mutual respect along with
Speaker 2: a bit of dislike that I think could be compelling.
Speaker 2: So that's a new goal. Go Gabe, who's the you know,
Speaker 2: the the Grand Pooba Blue Doock Media, Go ahead and
Speaker 2: make that happen, if you would please. By the way,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hit the clock today. I asked for a
Speaker 2: twelve minute clock. They for some reason told me that's
Speaker 2: not in our budget. I so we're going to figure
Speaker 2: out how to get a twelve minute clock for next episode,
Speaker 2: but I'm going at the clock today. We already went
Speaker 2: a little long in the first topic. We got five
Speaker 2: minutes left for the rest of the segment. What's next
Speaker 2: to them?
Speaker 5: Was?
Speaker 3: The Last Night was pretty scary to watch for you
Speaker 3: in the MAVs Oh the maps.
Speaker 2: You already recapped it so beautifully. Why do we even.
Speaker 3: The seventeen seventeen over run? The seventeen oh run was
Speaker 3: super hard to watch. Sit next to you, I was
Speaker 3: actually got really scared to record some content for the show.
Speaker 3: Did you record any I didn't think I was afraid
Speaker 3: you'd kick me out of the house. Yeah, so you're
Speaker 3: obviously not too stoked about it, and you say that
Speaker 3: it's you probably say it's gonna go to game seven
Speaker 3: at this point, but you know, the MAVs have been
Speaker 3: getting destroyed in Phoenix and that's where game seven would be.
Speaker 2: Yep, So why can they win game seven? Here's why
Speaker 2: they win game seven. They're gonna win game six. I
Speaker 2: believe they're gonna win back in Dallas and then it's
Speaker 2: game and then all the pressure in the world is
Speaker 2: not on Dallas, it's on Phoenix. For Chris Paul, this
Speaker 2: last real shot at the type. Yeah, Devin Booker and
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're gonna get to it, but
Speaker 2: it's doing a whole lot of shit talking that I
Speaker 2: think is gonna be that didn't last time, didn't age
Speaker 2: well last time. Luca won the next two. And I
Speaker 2: think the MAVs are the best player in the series,
Speaker 2: best player in the series. Have a come down to
Speaker 2: one game, it's no problem. Here's the thing the MAVs
Speaker 2: must understand before we move on. They must understand if
Speaker 2: you're gonna beat the Suns, you cannot beat them if
Speaker 2: you don't have a lead after three quarters. The Suns
Speaker 2: are fifty three and oh when leading after the third quarter.
Speaker 2: So you have to treat it like a three quarter game.
Speaker 2: You must be winning after the third quarter and then
Speaker 2: find a way to finish it all. Because not a
Speaker 2: single team all year long has been trailing the Suns
Speaker 2: by even one point headed into the fourth and won
Speaker 2: the game. That it's a crazy stat. The best teams
Speaker 2: in NBA history when leading after three quarters the ninety
Speaker 2: six Bulls the seventy two win Bulls were sixty something
Speaker 2: and one when leading after three quarters playoffs included the
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen Caves were fifty four, fifty five and one.
Speaker 2: That was Lebron with no teammates really at the apex
Speaker 2: of his powers. The twenty twenty Lakers were fifty seven
Speaker 2: and oh, another Lebron team that they never lost single
Speaker 2: game all year when leading after three quarters. And the
Speaker 2: Sun right now are fifty three and zero. Are we
Speaker 2: gonna do the Devin Booker thing?
Speaker 3: Yeah? So did you see Devin Booker talking craft to
Speaker 3: you guy, Luca?
Speaker 2: I did, And if people didn't see it, this is
Speaker 2: where I'm saying he might this. He's gonna have a
Speaker 2: little extra pressure on him. I think we can run
Speaker 2: some of the footage. So Devin Booker got fouled in
Speaker 2: the third quarter and flopped. First of all, they called
Speaker 2: this a flagrant foul. But you see he flopped like
Speaker 2: a fish on the ground. And then he's laying on
Speaker 2: the ground. He's smiling. He's acting like he got hurt,
Speaker 2: which is smart, I guess, because it led to a
Speaker 2: flagrant foul. But then he says to the crowd, I'm
Speaker 2: pulling a Luca. I'm doing the Luca.
Speaker 5: Oh that's what he said.
Speaker 2: That's what he said to the crowd, saying like exaggerating injury.
Speaker 2: That is not what listen. Luca has some things I understand.
Speaker 2: People not like it. He winds incessantly, he is a
Speaker 2: trash talker. He's sometimes looks uninterested in defense. Those are
Speaker 2: fair criticism.
Speaker 3: It doesn't flop though.
Speaker 2: He absolutely does not flop, and he does not pretend
Speaker 2: to get hurt. It's a lie. And so the point
Speaker 2: I'm making about the pressure being on the Suns is this,
Speaker 2: if Dallas he called it the Lucas Special, is what
Speaker 2: he called me. If Dallas wins Game six, which I
Speaker 2: believe they will. Now all of a sudden, Chris Paul
Speaker 2: has massive pressure on him because he's probably the last
Speaker 2: chance to win a title, and Devin Booker's gotta know
Speaker 2: you pull that sh and then lose two in a row,
Speaker 2: you will four seed. That's gonna follow you for a while.
Speaker 2: So I still like Dallas's chances. All right, what's next?
Speaker 3: Miami absolutely blitz the Sixers. Yeah, hard isn't showing up
Speaker 3: an embiid is looking kind of gas yeh. No team
Speaker 3: is won on the road yet, and four of the
Speaker 3: five games have been double digit wins.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 3: His home court advantage really a big deal. It's see.
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, Suns and Sixers heat the home team's
Speaker 2: ten to zero in those series, so that seems to
Speaker 2: be relevant thus far. In the other two series not
Speaker 2: so important. Here's what I think right now. I think
Speaker 2: that because it's not like Miami's got a great crowd.
Speaker 2: I think Philly they don't have the emotional maturity as
Speaker 2: a team to where they can. I think they need
Speaker 2: the energy from their home fans. It's less about like
Speaker 2: Miami being such a tough place to play and more
Speaker 2: about Philly needing the energy from their home crowd. Also,
Speaker 2: it should be noted Games one and two in Miami,
Speaker 2: Embiid didn't play. I also thought the Embiid argument that
Speaker 2: he was pouting about MVP not winning MVP, it was
Speaker 2: not crazy. I think guy's got a broken face and
Speaker 2: how to can caution. This was not about not winning MVP.
Speaker 2: This was about he's playing injured and Harden didn't show up.
Speaker 2: This is bad loss obviously for the Sixers. I believe
Speaker 2: the win game six and then we'll see if they
Speaker 2: can win a game seven in Miami. We don't have
Speaker 2: a lot of history that leeds you to believe they can.
Speaker 2: But if embiid is looks healthier, they still have no
Speaker 2: answer for EMBIID. So I'm not writing off the Sixers yet.
Speaker 2: I said I was gonna hit the clock. The clock
Speaker 2: just run out, ran out, But we have one topic left,
Speaker 2: So in order to hit the clock, we're gonna do
Speaker 2: that topic. Next segment Golden State Memphis, After the Break,

Speaker 2: and he's got a plaque from YouTube forgetting to one
Speaker 2: hundred thousand subscribers. They send him an actual plaque. We're
Speaker 2: just shy of like forty thousand. I would really really
Speaker 2: like it if we could somehow get to one hundred thousand,
Speaker 2: which is a big number before football season. Maybe we
Speaker 2: could shoot even higher than that. But if you're listening

Speaker 2: I my commitment to you is I will try to

Speaker 2: mechanisms is this clock, which has been mostly useless because
Speaker 2: I never hit it. Starting next week, we're doing twelve
Speaker 2: minutes segments, and once that happens every time, this is
Speaker 2: what we're gonna do. Every time I don't hit the clock,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to pay a financial penalty. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: have to.
Speaker 3: Pay you's I'm gonna pay you.
Speaker 2: Well, then you might work against me. You might try
Speaker 2: to then try to add stuff, be like oh what
Speaker 2: about this?
Speaker 3: What about that?
Speaker 2: All right? You know what? Charity is a better idea?
Speaker 2: Gonna screwed yourself there, buddy, I'm gonna even financial penalty
Speaker 2: would to be determined. It will be on a multiple
Speaker 2: dollars per minute basis. Give it to the producer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for doing such a great job.
Speaker 2: Wow, Look at demons finally learning who the real power
Speaker 2: is on this show. Who to kiss up to? Wow?
Speaker 2: Give it to the producers the thought. You're also implying
Speaker 2: that you know, our fearless leader, Gabe Goodwin's not paying
Speaker 2: his people well enough. All right, let's go.
Speaker 5: What are we starting with?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: I know we're starting with because I didn't get to
Speaker 2: it last segment because I screwed up the clock again.
Speaker 2: Golden State, Memphis? What are we doing?
Speaker 3: It's possible by the time that people see it here,
Speaker 3: this Golden State will have advanced by past Memphis. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but you know they're still not playing well and they've
Speaker 3: gotten super lucky with playing the Nuggets in injuries. But
Speaker 3: you know, let's talk about ja. Do you think that
Speaker 3: it's possible that even when he is back tow one
Speaker 3: hundred percent, that he'll just keep progressing and be even
Speaker 3: better or what's going on?
Speaker 2: So I'm worried about Job. So again, this game is
Speaker 2: tonight and we're recording before it. My guess is Golden
Speaker 2: State's gonna win. It wouldn't be shocking if Memphis, back
Speaker 2: at home, finds a way to win. They were twenty
Speaker 2: and five this season. Without Jaw, they could win. But
Speaker 2: Memphis has no chance of winning the series none whatsoever,
Speaker 2: not without John Morant the rest of the way. And
Speaker 2: my I worry about Jaw, And you and I were
Speaker 2: discussing this before. Deman's about Job versus Anthony Edwards, right right,
Speaker 2: I think Jaw's better and I think Jaw's profile is
Speaker 2: even more elite than Anthony Edwards, who is an outstanding player,
Speaker 2: but Jaw's body type and play style terrifies. Right, He's
Speaker 2: always on the ground, and so much of his game
Speaker 2: has to deal with do with the fact that I
Speaker 2: think right now he's the single best active athlete in
Speaker 2: the NBA.
Speaker 5: Yeah, easily.
Speaker 2: And so when you're relying on that, if you lose
Speaker 2: a little bit of that and you just become one
Speaker 2: of the best athletes in the NBA, that hurts you.
Speaker 2: And so I know that seems obvious shooter, but well so.
Speaker 2: And here's the other reason the injury concerns me. The
Speaker 2: bone brews sounds like, what's that mean? Kendrick Nunn suffered
Speaker 2: a bone brews last season, so not this season. We
Speaker 2: just had last season he signed with the Lakers this offseason,
Speaker 2: he missed the entire year with dealing with the bone groups. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen with Job. But my
Speaker 2: point is this, he needs this summer. He's not a
Speaker 2: fully formed player. He needs the time to work on
Speaker 2: his shot and to work on his defense. Everyone's just
Speaker 2: crushing Luca for Lackaday's goal defense. Luca is a far
Speaker 2: better defender than Joe is. Jaw's bad defensively, but he
Speaker 2: has a great defensive team around him, those other guys
Speaker 2: that can make up for it. So I this this
Speaker 2: injury plus the fact that he did they're twenty and
Speaker 2: five without Josh sounds good, but it also means he
Speaker 2: missed twenty five games this year. Yeah, so that part's concerning.
Speaker 2: So I'm rooting for Jah. Nobody want you know the
Speaker 2: comp Jaws always had as Derek Rose, Well, Derek Rose,
Speaker 2: it went sideways because of an injury, now obviously a
Speaker 2: far more devastating injury than this one. But I I
Speaker 2: am a Josh stockholder, But there you do. I guess
Speaker 2: the question would be, is it possible that when his
Speaker 2: career's over, he's never better than he is right now?
Speaker 2: As possible? That's usually not the case for a player
Speaker 2: as young as him, but with a guy that plays
Speaker 2: the way he does, that's got to at least be
Speaker 2: on the board. That part's concerning, And he must improve
Speaker 2: as a shooter because at some point the athleticism will
Speaker 2: wanne a bit.
Speaker 3: Okay, what's next Bucks Celtics?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's was tonight.
Speaker 3: So, by the way, before I get into the question, yeah,
Speaker 3: you said that it'd be you said that the Bucks
Speaker 3: would win. Did you say five? Well before, at the
Speaker 3: beginning of the bet.
Speaker 2: Okay, so here's the deal. Before the playoffs, I said
Speaker 2: the Bucks would not face a game six the entire postseason.
Speaker 3: Okay, whenever series and four that's already happening, correct.
Speaker 2: However, before, once Chris Middleton went down, I said bucks
Speaker 2: and six. I said, that's going to cost them one
Speaker 2: game instead of Bucks and five with Middleton bucks and six,
Speaker 2: Bucks and six still available to.
Speaker 3: Me Celtics and six still available. Absolutely, that was what
Speaker 3: I said.
Speaker 2: And Chris Middleton's not coming back. So what so what?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: You said Selton six, I said Bucks and six. We'll see.
Speaker 2: Don't don't start celebrating because I think you said five.
Speaker 2: I did say five initially, but then Chris Middleton got hurt. Okay,
Speaker 2: this isn't about our bet. Yeah, we had time on
Speaker 2: that in Game five's tonight. But so Game five, by
Speaker 2: the time people will have seen this will have already happened.
Speaker 2: We don't know what's gonna happen. What's going on.
Speaker 3: You predicted the Bucks would pull away in Game four
Speaker 3: against the Celtics. Yeah, but Al Horford obviously had other players. Yea,
Speaker 3: there's no sign of Chris Middleton coming back from this injury.
Speaker 3: If they lose this series. Do you think that they'll
Speaker 3: blame the injury or they'll make some serious changes.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think they'll blame the I don't think Milwaukee
Speaker 2: needs to make serious changes. You have Giannis who seems
Speaker 2: to get better every year. Drew Holliday I think has
Speaker 2: been good in this postseason, even though he was bad
Speaker 2: in Game four. We'll see how he is in Game five.
Speaker 2: You guys will have already seen it. But losing to
Speaker 2: if they end up losing the series, which I do
Speaker 2: not believe they will, the Celtics I think are going
Speaker 2: to end up the winner of this series. I think
Speaker 2: it's probably going to go to the finals. And if
Speaker 2: you lose to the it's one thing. If you're Brooklyn
Speaker 2: and you lose to Boston in four and you look
Speaker 2: like you're miles away from it. If you lose a
Speaker 2: series in six or seven of Boston when Chris Middleton
Speaker 2: didn't play, I wouldn't fire in Milwaukee. I would absolutely
Speaker 2: run it back. Drew Holliday's excellent Chris Middleton be back.
Speaker 2: Giannis is still in his APEX prime. You do small
Speaker 2: little tweaks like they did this offseason bringing in Grayson
Speaker 2: Allen and move on from PJ. Tucker. But the idea
Speaker 2: that Milwaukee should blow things up would be insane. You know,
Speaker 2: the Lakers won the title in twenty twenty, had a
Speaker 2: disappointing twenty twenty one, and then essentially blew it up.
Speaker 2: They traded all their role players for one big, shining
Speaker 2: star in Russ and it led to disaster in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty two. Don't overreact to one a postseason disappointment, especially
Speaker 2: when your second best player wasn't there. Now the premise
Speaker 2: of the question that was flawed, because Milwaukee's not losing
Speaker 2: the series, even if they even if when you have
Speaker 2: heard this Thursday morning, they lost Game five in Boston,
Speaker 2: which I don't think they will have. But even if
Speaker 2: that happened, Boston still would have to go to Milwaukee
Speaker 2: and win a Game six or beat Giannis in a
Speaker 2: Game seven, which I don't think is happening. All right,
Speaker 2: time for a game two wrongs one right, demonse, let's
Speaker 2: get going.
Speaker 3: Two rows are right, Let's do it? Yeah better quote Draymon,
Speaker 3: this isn't the Minnesota timberwill Steph I feel like we
Speaker 3: got traded to the Kings overnight. Or Gobert saying that
Speaker 3: he would lotch shack up.
Speaker 2: Well, Go Beart's quotes one of the most ridiculous things
Speaker 2: I've ever heard, So that one we're definitely crossing out.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's just so talk about a
Speaker 2: guy believing his own hype. People need to watch and
Speaker 2: you know what you should watch after the show. But
Speaker 2: I bet, because I bet you've never seen it. Shaquille
Speaker 2: O'Neill Orlando Highlights. So when Shaq was in Orlando, he
Speaker 2: was legitimately probably seventy pounds later than he was when
Speaker 2: he was winning titles with the Lakers, and his agility
Speaker 2: like just an unbelievable player, and then was even better
Speaker 2: with the Lakers when he was out of shape. So
Speaker 2: Go Bear's is definitely wrong. Steph's isn't wrong, but it's
Speaker 2: not that interesting. He's just saying they felt they had
Speaker 2: traded the Kings and they played poorly, and because Mike
Speaker 2: Brown got named coach of the Kings, then he had
Speaker 2: to coach him. The best one is the Draymond quote,
Speaker 2: because he's absolutely right. The Grizzlies were able to get
Speaker 2: away with playing bad basketball down the stretch of games
Speaker 2: in the final couple minutes because Minnesota was played such
Speaker 2: a dumb brand of basketball. Golden State, on the other hand,
Speaker 2: knows how to execute at.
Speaker 7: The end of these games, and they know how to
Speaker 7: flop in good time. Okay, listen, that was it was
Speaker 7: a tough call. The Desmond band fouls a tough call.
Speaker 7: But now that we know Jaws out for the series,
Speaker 7: I'm not as bitter about that call, even though I
Speaker 7: picked the Grizzlies, because even even in MEMPHISOD won that game,
Speaker 7: they were going to lose the series.
Speaker 2: They're not beating Golden State or two out of three.
Speaker 5: These games have not been blowouts.
Speaker 2: I know, I understand, but I'm just telling you that's
Speaker 2: Draymond's point is these games are going to be close,
Speaker 2: and Golden State's going to out execute them at the end.
Speaker 2: All right, what's next.
Speaker 3: One hundred which rumle will come true? Donovan Mitchell to
Speaker 3: the Knicks, forty nine Ers, trade Jimmy g this summer,
Speaker 3: or Dallas gets a second football team.
Speaker 2: All right, Dallas definitely not getting a second football team,
Speaker 2: and I don't think's going anywhere. Here's the thing on
Speaker 2: Donovan that nobody's talking about. You know what, I shouldn't say,
Speaker 2: nobody's talking about this. I think Zach Lowe might have
Speaker 2: mentioned this. It might have been Zach somebody what I've
Speaker 2: heard one person mentioned this, and when I heard him,
Speaker 2: I was like, exactly right. The All Star Game next
Speaker 2: year is in Utah. Utah is not trading Donovan Mitchell
Speaker 2: away before they host the All Stark They're just not.
Speaker 2: He's going to be the master ceremonies. He's going to
Speaker 2: be the big home down star. They're not trading him
Speaker 2: away before they host the All Star Game. Jimmy g
Speaker 2: is getting traded this summer. So that's the one that's happening.
Speaker 2: Donovan might become a nick eventually, but it is not
Speaker 2: happening this summer. All Right, What's last?
Speaker 3: Which trailer got you most excited? Top Gun, Maverick, Avatar
Speaker 3: two or the Game of Thrones prequel?
Speaker 2: Okay, I do not care about Top Gun, the first
Speaker 2: one or the second one at all. I'm a huge
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise fan. I'm not a big Top Gun fan.
Speaker 2: Not interested Avatar. I liked the first Avatar just fine
Speaker 2: because the three D was cool, but I'm not interested
Speaker 2: in that the Game of Thrones prequel I'm excited for.
Speaker 2: I don't really know. It's House of Dragons. I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: Why are you laughing? What's so funny?
Speaker 5: What's so funny? Just none of these movies not in
Speaker 5: Game of Thrones? Pretty cool?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I've never tuned in the Game of Thrones.
Speaker 3: And that's the show that you and mom used to
Speaker 3: watch a lot in Houston.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was going for multiple years. Yeah, it didn't
Speaker 2: have a great ending. I'm excited for it. I'm sorry, man,
Speaker 2: everything can't be the critically acclaimed Walking Dead that you've
Speaker 2: watched the entire series.
Speaker 3: Actually actually just watched Avengers End Game last night, so okay.
Speaker 2: All right, great, yeah again, zombie shows and superhero movies,
Speaker 2: my apologies. Game of Thrones, on the other hand, is
Speaker 2: about dragons and wizards, and it's actually pretty dope. We'll
Speaker 2: be right back, all right, Welcome back in What's Right
Speaker 2: with Nick? Great podcast Episode eighteen. Like rate subscriber, you
Speaker 2: final segment, as we often do, I don't even know
Speaker 2: what we're talking about, Demonse, you said you had a
Speaker 2: bone to pick with me or something you want to
Speaker 2: discuss with me, So demnse take it away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty pretty sad to see. But uh,
Speaker 3: I mean Dallas was kind of getting blown out. I mean,
Speaker 3: I guess they were getting blown out, but there was
Speaker 3: like three minutes left in the third quarter, Hu, and
Speaker 3: then I forget maybe it was like Devin Booker or
Speaker 3: yeah itit's a three, and then you just got up
Speaker 3: and went to bed.
Speaker 5: Like sea in the morning, buddy, love you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were sitting right over there watching the game.
Speaker 2: It was tied at halftime. I was already you know what,
Speaker 2: full disclosure here. I was kind of pissed at you,
Speaker 2: and so I didn't want to hang out with you
Speaker 2: any longer. And the team was getting blown out. So
Speaker 2: here's the deal.
Speaker 3: This is because I didn't go and pick mama.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was because you didn't go and pick mama
Speaker 2: from the airport. So here's the deal.
Speaker 5: Man, that's so ridiculous.
Speaker 2: So my wife came back from out of town last night.
Speaker 2: My wife, also doubles as his mother, came back from
Speaker 2: out of town last night. Her plane landed at ten
Speaker 2: forty five at LaGuardia, which luckily is fifteen minutes from
Speaker 2: my house. Super close. That is right, smack dab in
Speaker 2: the middle of the MAVs Sons game, and so I
Speaker 2: had mentioned in Amanse like, hey, I might want you
Speaker 2: to pick your mom up from the airport so I
Speaker 2: can sit here watch the game tweet if I need
Speaker 2: to be. You know what I mean. I'm at my
Speaker 2: battle station here, I got the computer, I got the
Speaker 2: multiple TVs and demonse, all right, you know you don't
Speaker 2: want to send an uber.
Speaker 3: For b as what I said, I'd do it. I
Speaker 3: said I would seem happy about it. I mean I
Speaker 3: probably didn't seem stoked about it. Yeah, but like I
Speaker 3: wouldn't have no, I didn't care. And then when they
Speaker 3: got close to the time, I was like, so, what's
Speaker 3: the plan with mom?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly right. He said, what's the one with
Speaker 2: the mom? He did not say, all right, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go pick up mom? Said, what's the pric of all?
Speaker 3: I had no idea when she was even getting here
Speaker 3: until the man was then, how did you know it
Speaker 3: was close to the time if you had no idea
Speaker 3: when she was getting that, because I mean you the
Speaker 3: Mavericks game was on it and they were saying that
Speaker 3: she was gonna get picked up sometime during that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So so okay. So he then says
Speaker 2: what's the plan, and I say, I'm gonna go pick
Speaker 2: her up? And does he say, no, don't do that.
Speaker 2: You have a television show and a podcast and this
Speaker 2: is your team for these playoffs and no.
Speaker 3: Instead, I said, are you sure it's a close game?
Speaker 2: Yeah, left, sure it's close game. I'm like, yeah, buddy,
Speaker 2: I got it. So I left right before halftime and
Speaker 2: luckily got to the airport right is half time inded.
Speaker 2: So so I'm like, okay, I've got the game on
Speaker 2: my phone. I'm gonna be fine. I'm gonna be fine.
Speaker 2: Got the airport right is half time ended or right
Speaker 2: before half time inded? I should say watching it. Danielle
Speaker 2: comes out. I put her suitcase in the car, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, you can drive. I gotta watch the game.
Speaker 2: You know what your mom says. I don't really feel
Speaker 2: like driving. So now I've got to drive, Bob. Now
Speaker 2: I've got to drive back. I'm listening to the game,
Speaker 2: but I'm not watching it. And as I'm listening, the
Speaker 2: Suns are going on a run. I didn't get back
Speaker 2: in our in our living room to watch the end
Speaker 2: of the game with you. Now the Suns are going
Speaker 2: on a massive run seventeen Oh, the Mavers are getting
Speaker 2: blown out. I'm upset. I feel like I don't really
Speaker 2: believe in superstitions. I was just sad juju the whole thing.
Speaker 2: You didn't even really seem to care. You're like, whatever,
Speaker 2: who cares. I'm sure dad lost thousands of dollars in
Speaker 2: sports credibility on this doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: Times I feel like you like think that sitting in
Speaker 3: your chair and watching the game will like determine the outcome.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't actually think that, but sometimes I
Speaker 2: have the feeling like.
Speaker 3: Whatever I was sitting there, they probably would have happened. Man,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I know that I left and what was a tie game?
Speaker 2: When I got up, they're down twenty four points. And
Speaker 2: then I didn't couldn't stand to be around you anymore,
Speaker 2: so I went upstairs and watched the rest of my bed.
Speaker 2: That's what happened. That's today's show.
