00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bernie's out, Bernie.

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 3: If I understood what Aaron Torres said, Bernie is traveling

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: the world, so shouts out to your usual maestro after midnight,

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 3: the man with the plan, the dude that understands spreads

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 3: over unders and hedging better than anybody. Bernie's out. My

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 3: name is Chris Plank. I got you for the next

Speaker 3: four hours. Now, I'm just gonna warn you. I'm just

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 3: gonna warn you. I know that these are frowned upon

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: in the biz, but in two hours from now, I'm

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: gonna blow the cover off one of the greatest scams

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 3: in sports and fellas. I think we kind of know

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: this one, but I experienced it tonight and I don't.

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: I think we need to admit this. We need to

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: come to uh, well, you need to come to a

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: green on and realized we shall never talk about it

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 3: again because we're really getting one over on everybody in

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: our sports world that's coming up as well as a

19
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: guest dude. Ian, I'm gonna tell you something I've done

20
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: many overnights here on Fox Sports Radio. I think I

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: told you guys this. This used to be my show

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 3: way back in the day right after Ben Mallard. This

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 3: shows you how long ago this was when George Siddano

24
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: left Fox Sports Radio overnights to go to ESPN. I

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: think things are working out pretty well for George. Ben

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: Mallard slid into the weekday slot. He's been dominating every since.

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 3: And I was a weekend guy. So I love this show.

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: This is my favorite show on the network. There's more people,

29
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: probably more affiliates clearing this than any other show on

30
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio, just because.

31
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: There are not a lot of other options, and we're live.

32
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: I mean check.

33
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: It is one o three am Central time. God's Standard

34
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: are God's time zone, the Central Standard time zone.

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: But I love this.

36
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: I love this time slot, which is why when I

37
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 3: say this, Ian, I hope you understand how important this

38
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: was to me.

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if I could be happier in my life.

40
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: Kids, born, second marriage, finding out I had a country

41
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: club membership.

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: These are all great moments in my life.

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 4: Gents.

44
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: But Ian, whenever I saw we had a guest in

45
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: our number three of this show, I'm not gonna lie

46
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: to you, I teared up a little bit.

47
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 5: Man.

48
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: I don't know in the history of sitting in for

49
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: Bernie and for Ben and during the days back in Gosh,

50
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: what what are we going back?

51
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 4: Now?

52
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: Is that like two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight,

53
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: I've never had a guest on the Overnight show.

54
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: I'm so happy right now. I don't even know what

55
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: to do.

56
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 6: It's tonight, your first one, first ever guessed in the

57
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 6: Overnight slot.

58
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: It's a big honor for Mark Medina.

59
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 7: Well.

60
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: I hope he understands. I hope he gets how big

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: this is.

62
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: I also think it's awesome that people are actually up

63
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: and ready to talk NBA at this Insiders now. I

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: probably should backtrack on that a bit. There's people up

65
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: because they're working on their stories. So there is a

66
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: lot of joy in my heart tonight, A lot of

67
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 3: joy because Ian Roddy hooked me up, hooked us up,

68
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,640

Speaker 3: challenging the final three point shot by PJ.

00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 3: all out there.

91
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 2: I used to do it well, I still do. I

92
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: do a local show in Oklahoma.

93
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: I've done radio way too long, to the point where

94
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if I can do anything else.

95
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: I'm really worried if this radio thing doesn't work.

96
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: Out, that I'm gonna end up being someone at Target

97
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: telling you which i'le the baby clothes are on. But

98
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: in my career, I've always loved talking about the NBA.

99
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 3: Loved it. It was and is one of my favorite

100
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: topics for a lot of reasons. Most of it because

101
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 3: how we knee jerk to every little thing that happens,

102
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: and nobody bends the knee to their stars more than

103
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: the NBA does. So it always cracks me up when

104
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 3: the response is why does he think he can act

105
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: like that?

106
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: Well, because you let him, That's why.

107
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: But all of that said, I love talking about the NBA,

108
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 3: and for years, guys on my local show We're Going

109
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: Back in the early two thousands, I would talk this

110
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: is in Oklahoma, NBA, and all that I would get

111
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 3: was hate, hate, hate hate. Jeremy Poplin Blitz Tulsa, one

112
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: of my best friends. All we did when we talked

113
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: Spurs or Lakers or you know, there was that great

114
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: I don't really know if it was a great series

115
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 3: when Jamie Nelson and Kobe and the Magic play the Lakers.

116
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: I mean, these were things that I loved talking about

117
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: and we would get backlash. People would call the complane

118
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, the same people who

119
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: were dogging these conversations become NBA experts when the thunder

120
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: come to town. So that was a really hard thing

121
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 3: for me. Instead of saying, hey, look, I'm an NBA fan.

122
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you guys are into this welcome I

123
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: maybe it is because we're going back now eleven years

124
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 3: a little bit younger. I looked at and thought, you

125
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 3: son of you sat there and destroyed me for years

126
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 3: and what we were doing. And now all of a sudden,

127
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: you're trying to argue about bird rights and whether or

128
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 3: not you should add a four instead of a three.

129
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 3: I mean it, what But as I've grown, as I've aged,

130
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 3: I've learned from this. I have I'm not quite as

131
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: bitter about it. And then after what was probably in

132
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: the history of sports one of the old time greatest,

133
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 3: you know, kind of I don't know, brown nosing, cleat chasing,

134
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: whatever term you want to use, in the way that

135
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City is. The fans and the media treated that

136
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: first inclination of the thunder with Harden, with Durant and

137
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: with Westbrook, and then the inevitable Durant leaving. I have

138
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: fallen in love with this new version of Okase. It's

139
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 3: almost like the girl of my dreams, whom I want

140
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: to want me suddenly is batting an eye at me

141
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: and texting me. It's just it's I love this team.

142
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: Shay Gilgess. Alexander is exciting to think he was a

143
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 3: throw in in the Clippers trade for Paul George.

144
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: A throw in that's amazing.

145
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: Jalen Williams, the guy that I don't think any of

146
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,119
Speaker 3: you had on your draft board, is an emerging.

147
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 2: An emerger.

148
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: I don't want to say star, but he's an emerging talent.

149
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: Chat Holme clowned him right. Oh he's too skinny, his

150
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: sticks are gonna break. And of course what happens his

151
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: first year he gets hurt, thunder draft him. Second overall,

152
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: we all question it. It's like, ugh, I think he's

153
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 3: looked the party here in his first season, right, adding

154
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: some what I think you would still consider foundational pieces

155
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: in Lou Dort Josh Kiddy, despite the fact that he

156
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 3: was coming off the bench in this series. My point

157
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: is this is a really, really fun basketball team. But

158
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 3: I don't see this as a moment where you say,

159
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: don't worry, we'll be back. Don't that's what do we do?

160
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: Be pissed?

161
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: They just lost as the one seed to a team

162
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: that they beat in the first game by twenty points.

163
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 3: What are we doing? I mean, there was never a

164
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: more dominant first game performance that I've seen that changed

165
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: one of my benchmark takes, like what Oklahoma City did

166
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: to Dallas in Game one of this series. They absolutely

167
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 3: positively annihilated them. I went on the AR I think

168
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 3: it was on a Sunday, and I do a Sunday

169
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: night show. That's where my normal gig is Little Double

170
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: Shift today, So I'll be on again tonight ten Peter

171
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: one A with Arnie Spaniel. And after Game one I

172
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: remember being that prisoner of the moment and saying, this

173
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: is over. We what are we even talking about? The

174
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: Western Conference Finals between Minnesota and okse Chapter one is

175
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 3: going to be legit. And then you absolutely let this

176
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 3: this Dallas Mavericks team, a team that's now been to

177
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: the Western Conference Finals or at least on its way

178
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 3: to a second second and three seasons. I mean, you

179
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: let them get life, and you lose a series in

180
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: which you might have had one of the more dominating

181
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: performances to kick things off.

182
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: You're losing home games. I mean, I'm pissed, but.

183
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: I also have to stop and pause for just a

184
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 3: moment and realize this appears to be ahead of schedule

185
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: for okasee. This appears to be a tick ahead of

186
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 3: where many thought they should be at this point. I mean,

187
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 3: I'm not going to sit here and make this thunder

188
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 3: talk all night long, but they do have first round

189
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: picks up through twenty thirty, fifteen of them. Let's say

190
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 3: that again. Hopefully I'll say it in an order that

191
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: makes a little bit more sense. Oklahoma City has fifteen

192
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: first round picks and twenty to one second round picks

193
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: over the next six drafts. It's like me playing Madden

194
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 3: at a majority of it in a franchise. In fact,

195
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: I think I got a team right now that has

196
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: thirteen first round picks. Yeah, I just it's it's it's crazy.

197
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: But despite all that and eyes towards the future, I

198
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 3: appreciate the great play of the hero of this tournament,

199
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: the referees. One a probably to Luca, one beat to

200
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: one beat a Doe that I mean, let's kind of

201
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: be honest. This this series might still be going on

202
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: if not for some dude named PJ. Washington, who I mean,

203
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 3: tip of the cap to the Dallas Mavericks front office

204
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: who owned the trade deadline right. Dallas won this series.

205
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: On February twenty fourth when PJ. Washington was acquired from Charlotte.

206
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 3: But you know, tip of the cap. I mean, all see,

207
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: we're on a great affiliate in Dallas. On the ticket,

208
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: I'm I'm kind of trolling. I'm still kind of but

209
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: hurt about it. To be honest with you, the way

210
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: this thing went down because I've allowed myself to get invested. Now,

211
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: I've allowed myself to get sucked in. I've allowed myself

212
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: to believe that the trains on the tracks and everybody

213
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: better get out of the way. But how are you

214
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: gonna feel that way after you just blew a series

215
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: that you should have had a.

216
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: Complete control of. It's frustrating.

217
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 4: Man.

218
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: Now back to the original point.

219
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 3: Did Mark Dagnault make a mistake whenever Oklahoma City challenged

220
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: the call of a foul in the corner on PJ.

221
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: Washington?

222
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: Here is what it sounded like on the Dallas Mavericks

223
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: Radio network, But terribly played game by Dallas until about

224
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 3: what the midway point of the third quarter.

225
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: About that point, like, hey guys.

226
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: Maybe we should get going here a little bit, and

227
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: the Thunder unfortunately did what they've done so far in

228
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 3: this series. They had defensive breakdowns. They even when they

229
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 3: had a face a hand in the face of Luca.

230
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: He was making plays and in this instance, with a

231
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: game on the line, Shay gil Just Alexander got a

232
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: little bit too much of the hand in the face.

233
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: Here comes Luca.

234
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 8: He's trapped along the left side with ten now against

235
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 8: dort one on one, driving right, backing down at the

236
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 8: chair poll expense loss left, lost, the ball, got at

237
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 8: the Washington forces.

238
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 9: On up, cut down, he got down. He got down

239
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 9: by Jilgess Alexander with two and a half seconds to god.

240
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: Oh what a terrible file there. Oh my goodness, put

241
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: on the.

242
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 10: Lord of the foul occurred on the three point shot.

243
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 4: It'll the challenge is unsuccessful.

244
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: Dallas three free pros.

245
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: So before we get to shay Gil just Alexander's take,

246
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 3: to give the full disclosure for those of you that

247
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: don't eat, sleep, drink, live and die NBA rules. You

248
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: lose a challenge, you lose a time out. Okay, se

249
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 3: had one time out left. I think what ian like

250
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: two point six, two point eight? Is that what was left?

251
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: What would have been left in the game. Washington makes

252
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 3: his first two intentionally misses the third. I mean it's

253
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: Paul Game did the Now the problem is shake Gil

254
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: just Alexander probably didn't help his coach out too much

255
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: whenever he was asked about to play at the end

256
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: of the game, and what happened. And this is what

257
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: Shake Kilches Alexander said.

258
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 11: We talk about it all your other little things that

259
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 11: go into winning games and being disciplined, and it sucks. Obviously,

260
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 11: if I had the moment back, I went to file

261
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 11: him and just let him make her miss shot. But yeah,

262
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 11: basketball and even something loose, some many made mistakes.

263
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: By the way, the one kind of side note to

264
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: the missed shot, I mean Dallas got the rebound and

265
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 3: I think put it back in, so I mean it

266
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: would have even if they don't call a foul there.

267
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 3: I think it works out even worse for Oakla Hooma City.

268
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: But dag Nauld was asked about it, Oh.

269
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 12: Should I don't have as good of a replay as

270
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 12: there was on TV. So you know, I just you know,

271
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 12: he got ball, you know, and then obviously got arm

272
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 12: as well. You know, I thought he might have gotten

273
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 12: the ball first, uh, And just in that situation, you know,

274
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 12: even without leaving myself the timeout, I thought any chance

275
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 12: that we could take points off the board and reverse

276
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 12: that call would be worth the risk.

277
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 4: So that's why I went and got it.

278
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 3: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

279
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: nine ninety six six three sixty nine. I'd kind of

280
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 3: love to hear your takes on the end of that game.

281
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 3: I just I'll tell you what, Lucas Luca is pretty infuriating.

282
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I think Dallas Mavericks fans you know this.

283
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: I think most NBA fans know it, because there's moments

284
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: where he looks like he's dead and he's done and

285
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 3: he's never going to play basketball again, and the he

286
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: pops up and drains at three.

287
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what, I kind of like the

288
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: approach the last few games.

289
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 3: I think Luca is more fun when he's not constantly

290
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: grinching at the officials. So eight seven seven nine nine

291
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 3: sixty six three six nine eight seven seven ninety nine

292
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 3: on Fox. Also, as I mentioned, Mark Medina is coming

293
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 3: up to kick off our number two all right, when

294
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 3: we come back heartbreak aside for thunder fans, celebrations for

295
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: Dallas and it's support staff, I e the PJ.

296
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: Washington's of the world. I mean, I'm not gonna lie.

297
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 3: I kept completely lost track of Tim Hardaway Junior and

298
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: he's just out there draining threes. Outside of all that,

299
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: we do have a Game seven coming up later on today,

300
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: and I have a question of the night that we'll

301
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 3: get you because I've been watching every minute, every second

302
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 3: of the NBA's postseason. Of the three young superstars, who

303
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 3: would you want to build around? Who would you want

304
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 3: to build around? By three, I mean Anthony Edwards, Luka, Doncic,

305
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: and Shay Gil just Alexander. We'll talk about that coming

306
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 3: up after the bottom of the hour. I'm busy Saturday

307

326
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: still going on right now on the East Coast? Is

327
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: the is the Fox Sports Radio family? Do we have

328
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:15,240

329
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: I mean, we have the Mallard militia, right, we don't,

330
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 3: but I feel like we need to get on that

331
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: Bernie's boys. I'm big about the letters having to be

332
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 3: the same. We are going to the top of the

333
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 3: eleventh inning in the college softball Regionals and in Tallahassee, Florida. Yes,

334
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 3: in the Eastern time zone, Auburn and UCF are tied

335
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 3: at one. It is two twenty six am. I ask

336
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: you up, I.

337
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: Guess the instance we've been chatting.

338
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,719
Speaker 3: Is there a point where you think the umpires are

339
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 3: the administrators say hey, y'all, let's come back and finish

340
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 3: this thing tomorrow.

341
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: Or do you just keep rolling?

342
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 15: I mean, it's like two am there right?

343
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: Isn't that right?

344
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 6: So at that point you're that far in, I feel

345
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 6: like you have to finish. This is the latest UCF

346
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 6: game played in the East Coast.

347
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 3: Ever, I guess I would add to it, we just

348
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 3: wrapped up a game in Los Angeles where Grand Canyon

349
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: upset Virginia Tech.

350
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: That game is over.

351
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 3: The final game in day two of college Softball regional

352
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 3: play will now be one in the East Coast between

353
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: UCF and Auburn. And what's amazing about this is whoever

354
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 3: loses their season's over, like there's no we'll come back

355
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: and we'll get them tomorrow. You lose this game, then

356
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: you're done, so done. And I'm and I'm a softball fan.

357
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 3: I cover softball, I call softball. I love the sport.

358
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: But UCF has one of its most established and I

359
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 3: guess you could say incredible senior classes that they've ever had.

360
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 3: Auburn's coach is retiring at the end of the season.

361
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 3: A lot of a lot of drama, all right, Listen.

362
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 3: I asked to hear from some OKC fans at eight

374
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: I appreciate it that.

375
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 17: Listen. Listen.

376
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 18: I've been I've been a fancist.

377
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 16: Nick Collinson. You know, I don't know how you can

378
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 16: get emotional when we've got fifteen first round drafts and

379
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 16: these guys are babies. I mean, we're real and the

380
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 16: impressed me. We trust man, We're going to be the

381
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 16: next San Antonio Spurs if we play our cards right.

382
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 16: I mean, it looked like a solid block from from

383
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 16: the from the announcing, you know, for the announcing angles,

384
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 16: and one of the refs said it was a block.

385
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 16: But I just don't have that kind of I just

386
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 16: don't have that kind of emotional reservoir. Maybe I'm getting

387
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 16: old or something, But how can you be that sad

388
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 16: about this? I just don't get it.

389
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: Look, can I can I explain it?

390
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 3: Steven?

391
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: Let me give you my side of this.

392
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 3: I have been somebody my whole professional life that will

393
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 3: fight with people that knee jerik after one or two games,

394
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 3: I will. It's been something of people lose their minds

395
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 3: and it's part of business, right, and I allowed myself

396
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 3: to actually let that happen in this series. And I'm

397
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: not saying it's you're right. If everything plays out with

398
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 3: all this draft capital with their eyes on a couple

399
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 3: of stars to try to pair with SGA, I think

400
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 3: the future is really really bright, and it should be.

401
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 3: But I allowed myself to fall into a trap that

402
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 3: I shouldn't and don't allow myself to fall into, Stevens.

403
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: So this might be more of a me thing.

404
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 16: I totally sympathize with that. I can totally see it.

405
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 16: You know, we watched Thunder every night for eighty eighty nights,

406
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 16: you know, and listen, if lou Dort would stop poling,

407
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 16: we'd probably be in the NBA finals. I mean that's

408
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 16: just to be honest, Just to be real. I mean,

409
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 16: if we can figure out a way. I know, Lucas

410
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 16: tough to stop, and some of these guys are tough

411
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 16: to stop. We get a few pounds on home grin. Man,

412
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 16: the future is so incredibly bright. I mean, it's like

413
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 16: Kansas City and Okase here the center of the of

414
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 16: the sports world. It's ridiculous. The Royals are in first place. Man,

415
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 16: I know what's in the water in this area or something. Man,

416
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 16: but we are just absolutely tearing it up now that

417
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 16: I'll probably curse the chief full.

418
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: No, I think you're good.

419
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 16: The future's so bright, man, you gotta wear how's oo

420
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 16: you gonna do? Whether are they gonna roll through everybody?

421
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 16: Are they gonna roll through the roll through the field.

422
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: Well, this is good question, Steven. I appreciate the phone call.

423
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 3: Thanks for checking in, buddy, now, he said, he watches

424
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 3: all eighty Thunder games. It's my kind of guy. Yeah,

425
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 3: this is real quick, he asked to know you question.

426
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 3: I'll get you in a second. This is a I've

427
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 3: come to realize. During the break, I got a couple

428
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: of my buddies that apparently are up to and they're like,

429
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 3: this is a you problem. Here's one you're just bitter

430
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 3: about the Lakers. Another one of my guys. Quit trying

431
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: to curse us. I'm not trying to like use reverse psychology.

432
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: What are we doing here?

433
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 5: I just.

434
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 3: I think sometimes when you're like, oh man, they tried

435
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 3: so hard, look at how hard they tried. They were

436
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 3: the number one seed and they dominate game one. So Stevens,

437
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 3: that's my defense on this. By the way, quick update.

438

443
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 3: your throat, but I will say, if you get a

444

Speaker 6: of forty one straight rounds of at least making parr

501
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 6: the preak mistakes. The second race of the Triple Crown

Speaker 6: leading the race wire to wire, Misstic Dan finishing second,

504
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 6: so there will be no Triple Crown winner today.

505
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: Back to you, all right, thanks Kevin. It's kind of funny.

506
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: I'm I'm a big softball guy, and there is a

507
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 3: live game going on right now out on the East Coast.

508
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: It is you just heard Kevin mention it. It's one

509
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 3: one in the bottom of the eleventh inning. There is

510
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 3: the reair of a game from earlier today that is

511
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 3: currently being shown on ESPN U. That's already in the

512
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 3: top of the sixth inning. They only played seven in softball.

513
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 3: I think the reair game might end before the actual

514
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 3: UCF Auburn game.

515
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 4: This is crazy.

516
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 3: You know, Steve the Seger, whom you hear a lot

517
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 3: here on Fox Sports Radio. I don't know why I'm

518
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 3: getting all nostalgic, but Steve, Steve and I we did

519
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 3: that weekend overnight show together, and there was a college

520
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 3: baseball game on one night, guys that just never ended.

521
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 3: I mean we sat here, I want to say, almost

522
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 3: until one am Pacific time, and that's three am. I

523
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 3: want to say. It was a Central time Zone game

524
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: and it was just it was like seventeen innings. I

525
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: think I don't even know if it was on TV.

526
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: I think we're watching some stream somewhere. It was crazy.

527
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: I feel like that's what we're experiencing here tonight. Pretty

528
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 3: fun eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven

00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: some more calls in here at eight seven, seven ninety

534
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: nine on Fox. So Poppy Holler and James hanging there

535
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,400

536
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 3: you in our next segment. But I have a question

537
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: and I want to go around the horn on this.

538
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 3: I threw it up on my Twitter feed at Plank Show.

539
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: But I also think I would probably get a pretty

540
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 3: one sided vote on this because, hey, listen, I'm in

541
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 3: Oklahoma and an Oklahoma City guy is here, so Ian,

542
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if Kevin had to run and take

543
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 3: care of other responsibilities. Mark, if you want to jump in,

544
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: here's my question. You can build around one. Shay Gil

545
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: just Alexander Luka Nacic or Anthony Edwards.

546
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 5: Now.

547
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 3: I thought about putting I thought about putting the joker

548
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: on here, but then I was like, oh, he's not

549
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 3: really a young gun anymore. He's an established three time MVP.

550
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 3: That'd be too easy. That'd be too easy, right, But

551
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 3: I guarantee you on my Twitter feed with my followers

552
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: Shay Gil just Alexander would still win. I'll take Shay

553
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 3: over Jokicic. Hey looks like my grandpa playing at the

554
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: Why I want a baller? Which way would you go

555
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 3: in this vote?

556
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: Right now? Ian, you're first up, Shay, Luca or Aunt.

557
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: I'd go Aunt.

558
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 15: And that might be that might be recency biased, just

559
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 15: because like these have been his playoffs so far. But

560
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 15: I hate keep putting that Jordan comparison on him, and

561
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 15: he even hates it. But it's just so hard to

562
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 15: watch him and not see that.

563
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

564
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 15: I just like the the between the ears aspect too.

565
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 15: He says all the right things that the podium sticks

566
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 15: up for his guys. I love Anthony Edwards. It's not

567
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 15: that I don't think the other two guys are great too,

568
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 15: It's just I really think Aunt is something special.

569
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: Do you know what I would add on Anthony Edwards?

570
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 3: I don't think you were alluding to this that personality,

571
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 3: yeah right, I mean again, we haven't seen him have

572
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 3: to deal with a ton of adversity, right. The first

573
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 3: couple of years kind of sucked for him with the

574
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 3: with the Timberwolves, they weren't necessarily a great team, but

575
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 3: he's he's got that kind.

576
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 6: Of it to him, right, Yeah, and it's just funny too. Yeah,

577
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 6: He's funny, just effortlessly.

578
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 3: You you venture a take on this one, Kevin, the three,

579
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 3: which one you would want to build around Luca, Shay, Gilgess,

580
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 3: Alexander or Ant Edwards.

581
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 6: I'm going with the Ant man just because I've really

582
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 6: seen how he's that fiery spirit, that MJ. Kobe like competitiveness,

583
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 6: that he really has that killer instincts. So I think

584
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 6: if he can have the right team around him, and

585
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 6: he's got a good squad around him right now, but Denver.

586
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 2: Of course giving him all they can handle.

587
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 6: But Anthony Edwards, even if they come up short, has

588
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 6: shown me, at least in this playoff series that he's

589
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 6: got what it takes to really will a team to victory.

590
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 6: And he's really had a big coming out party this

591
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 6: year in my opinion, So I would personally take Anthony

592
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 6: Edwards shake Guil just Alexander, though with his defense, it's

593
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 6: not just his offensive numbers, but the way he's played

594
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 6: defense this year makes him a close second in my

595
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 6: opinion Luca and the defense not really the name of

596
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 6: his game. So I'm a big defensive guy. So I

597
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 6: guess I would go ant Man, Shake Gil, just Alexander,

598
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 6: Luca Dantich in that order.

599
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 18: Yeah.

600
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 2: And it's funny because.

601
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: All of us are going with a dude that hasn't

602
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 3: advanced out of the first round or two guys that

603
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 3: have only advanced out of the first round of the

604
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 3: playoffs in their career, and we're all kind of turning

605
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 3: our back on a guy that that's taking a team

606
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: to its second Western Conference finals in three years. Do

607
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 3: you know Luca and Shake gilges Alexander won the same draft.

608
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: They were drafted the same year. Mark, you gotta take

609
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 3: or you care about this one.

610
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 19: I'm gonna go with giving more help to Luca because

611
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 19: based on what everybody's saying, Luca is all offense all

612
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 19: the time, so maybe he needs some help when it

613
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 19: comes to another better defender and somebody that can score

614
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 19: at the same time.

615
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 3: Okay, there is If you guys want to jump in

Speaker 3: I'm forty eight right now, so it's only been up

623
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 3: for like ten minutes. Seventy three percent of the vote

624
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 3: so far for USGA, So maybe not the best gauge.

625
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't sleep on what Shay gild just Alexander

626
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 3: did in this series for Oklahoma City and what it

627
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,959
Speaker 3: looks like he's doing for them in the free agent market.

628
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that. We'll get your calls coming up,

629
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,480

633
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 20: Guys.

634
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 3: I don't think we're gonna be able to use my

635
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 3: poll for this conversation. It's just probably should have known

636
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 3: this when I put it up, but it is very

637
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 3: one sided towards Shae Gilges Alexander. I don't know why

638
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 3: I'm not smart enough to realize that's what would happen here.

639
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 3: We got a game still in progress in college softball.

640
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 3: They are in the top of the twelfth inning. It

641
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 3: is approaching three am Eastern Standard time, and UCF and

642
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 3: Auburn are tied up in one unbelievable top of the

643
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 3: twelfth inning. We'll see if either team can push a

644
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 3: run across in the meantime. Coming up next hour, we're

645
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 3: gonna recap the end of the Thunder Mavericks series the

646
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 3: end of the game with Mark Medena. I got a

647
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 3: quick recap of the MAVs run late in this season

648
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: and a look ahead to the Thunder post season. Guys

649
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 3: got a lot of NFL on the show. We got

650
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 3: some massive quarterback questions coming up. I'm gonna I told

651
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 3: you off the top of the show, I'm gonna let

652
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 3: our secret out coming up an hour number three, and

653
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 3: last night Ian and I talked about really nerding out

654
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 3: on the NFL schedule and talking about a potential mystery

655
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 3: candidate for the Lakers. Well of that coming up in

656
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 3: the final hour. As always though, I mean, it's come on,

657
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,680

Speaker 2: Why not?

661
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 3: Poppy? Poppy, are you out in San Diego? Good morning,

662
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 3: Welcome to Fox Sports Radio. Hey, how's it going great? Man,

663
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 3: how are you good?

664
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 20: Good? Hey?

665
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 18: Remember when I was on the Ben Manor Show, did

666
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 18: you bet at stop Foster? Did you go to and

667
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 18: no on the Celtics from our first half and the

668
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 18: whole game?

669
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 2: I was just curious, dude, listen, I did. I've done

670
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 2: two overnight shows in the last two nights. I did

671
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 2: one last week.

672
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 3: Trying to remember anything from yesterday is hard enough for me, Poppy,

673
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: but I'll just say I did.

674
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 2: How's that?

675
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 18: Oh okay, good job on you, because it would have

676
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 18: done blink blink. So uh, you know, I can't wait

677
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 18: for your next hour. You know my Dina magic NBA Google.

678
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 16: So I want to talk NBA. I love NBA.

679
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 18: I'm an expert on NBA. On Scott Foster, that's my

680
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 18: favorite rest And I did, yeah, I did tell you

681
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 18: to take the Celtics. But look, this is what I'm

682
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 18: seeing right now for the game Indiana Pacers and the

683
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 18: next well, the next haven't been us good since the nineties.

684
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 18: You know, the nickel Bockers, you know where Patrick Ewley

685
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 18: and John Starks as you were saying, and who does

686
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 18: the NBA Adam Silver with that met who does he

687
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 18: want to go to the finals? The New York Next.

688
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 18: What the next against the Celtics. Better matchup than Indiana Pacers.

689
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 18: Boston Celtics not sexy. So we know that's a better matchup, right,

690
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 18: So we won't all tell six am, as I told you,

691
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 18: Scott Foster won't be announced. He's going to be in

692
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 18: the next and when he does, we're gonna go on

693
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 18: the money line on the point spread the first half

694
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 18: the whole game, and we're gonna make that bling bling.

695
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 18: And then my other conspiracy theory, if he's not there,

696
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 18: then where is he going to be the Denver Nuggets.

697
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 18: Why Because Adam Silver Watson VerTech Jokavi is the MVP

698
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 18: who got to make him look good. He can't go

699
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 18: out the first round. But I don't want that because

700
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 18: I said in the Bernie Battle Show, I want the

701
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 18: Minnesota Timberwolves to go to the NBA Finals. Oh oh,

702
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 18: So that's why I want Scott Foster to go the

703
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 18: New York Next. And my other conspiracy theory is what

704
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 18: our Kuber's last season with the owner of the Mavericks.

705
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 18: Why not have the Delek Mavericks go to the NBA

706
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 18: Finals and Renolds potentially winning the NBA Finals last season

707
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:10,479
Speaker 18: as the owner.

708
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 5: What are you thinking?

709
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 3: All right, So you've laid out quite a few different

710
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: conspiracy theories for me. Thanks for the Thanks for the call, Poppy, Poppy,

711
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 3: Pappy twenty two, twenty one, whatever it takes. I don't

712
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 3: know if anyone outside of the perception of the Knicks

713
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 3: and New York and Madison Square Garden would be a

714
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 3: major ratings grab or as you laid out, maybe a

715
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 3: justification for an MVP, which, by the way, I mean listen,

716
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: they won, they won the title, They went back to

717
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 3: back MVPs.

718
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 2: I think back to back to back. Think we're gonna

719
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 2: be okay.

720
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna be okay with having to worry

721
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 3: about doing anything to justify Yokich. But if you're asking

722
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 3: me if I I've got the script and I'm trying

723
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 3: to get the fix in what is the ultimate NBA

724
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 3: final for viewership, I'm probably going Dallas, New York right,

725
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 3: no offense to Denver in the market, but we kind

726
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 3: of saw what that did ratings wise last year. So

727
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 3: if you're trying to fix it, Poppy, if I'm understanding

728
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 3: what you're laying out to get the best possible matchup,

729
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 3: I think you want Dallas versus New York maybe, And

730
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 3: again I only say New York because they haven't been

731
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 3: there in a while long hun and they're not going

732
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 3: litt in Boston's gonna sweep them, But it is It

733
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 3: would be my opinion that they would want the Knicks

734
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 3: there in some way, shape or form. And I don't

735
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 3: Minnesota is a I think sometimes I'm guilty of this,

736
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 3: so I say we I'm me, I'm guilty of this.

737
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 3: I don't realize the size of the men Aneapolis St.

738
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 2: Paul market. I think sometimes like, uh, smaller, smaller market.

739
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 2: It's really not.

740
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 3: And you suddenly get a star in Minnesota, like Anthony

741
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 3: Edwards and it's a well run organization and you've got

742
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 3: I mean, I think Karl Anthony Towns is a star too.

743
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 3: That might be something worth building you I'm building upon.

744
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 3: And you know Ann Edwards getting those MJ comparisons, you

745
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 3: got to love that as a commissioner. But I just

746
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 3: think that you're probably looking at still for all the eyeballs,

747
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 3: for all the storylines, probably Dallas and New York, because

748
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 3: you do know that Ann Edwards, the theory that he's

749
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 3: really Michael Jordan's kid. Oh, my gosh, that would go

750
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 3: to a level of absurdity once we got to the

751
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 3: Tea Wolves in the NBA finals. All right, Mark Meneen

752
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 3: is going to join us coming up next, and for Bernie,

753
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 3: I'm playing on Fox Sports Radio.

754
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

755
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 3: By the way, it is a final in Tallahassee at

756
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 3: three am local time. Auburn beats UCF to advance into

757
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 3: the season for the nights, and they've got to turn

758
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 3: around and play tomorrow at three o'clock for Eastern.

759
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 2: Fun night.

760
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,719

766
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 3: and how's it going to Mark Medina, though I guess

767
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 3: instead of good morning, Mark, it'd probably be good evening

768
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 3: out on the West coast right now, how's it going, man?

769

Speaker 2: Thanks for coming on with us.

770
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,200

771
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 20: morning because now it to Sunday, but yeah, I'll take

772

Speaker 20: us the evening either or.

Speaker 2: All right, help me out here. Should uh?

774
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 3: Should people be mad at the NBA Coach of the

775
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 3: Year for challenging that last shot by PJ.

776
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 2: Washington in the foul?

777
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 3: Uh?

778
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 20: No, I don't think so.

779
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 3: I think shake gilgis Alexander. Maybe he didn't do him

780
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 3: any favors by saying, yeah, you know, I shouldn't have

781
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 3: fouled him. But I think in that instance, even though Dallas,

782
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 3: let's say they don't call a foul, Kyrie snuckin, got

783
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 3: the rebound and put it in for a bucket that

784
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 3: would have given him the lead. But even in that uh,

785
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I like a coach that's not afraid to

786
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 3: challenge something like that, even if it does cost you

787
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 3: your last time out.

788
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 20: Yeah. I mean, it's always a tricky thing with these

789
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 20: challenges because they only have so many, and there's been

790
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 20: you know, ever since they implemented this rule to really

791
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 20: test their relationship capital with star players. Like at first,

792
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 20: players wanted to trust their players when they say to

793
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 20: call it, but then you know, they start getting skeptical

794
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 20: on how good their batting percentages with it. So it's

795
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 20: led to a lot of mixed feelings on what the

796
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 20: best course of action.

797
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 16: Overall?

798
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 2: What'd you make of the of the run so far

799
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 2: for the Mavericks?

800
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 3: So I think on at least one instance I had

801
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 3: him dead that was Game one against Oklahomas. But they

802
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 3: still keep finding away. Man, They've got an impressive roster

803
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 3: in PJ. Washington stepped up big time.

804
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 20: Yeah, when I make of the Dallas Mavericks, they're completely

805
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 20: different identity than last season, and I think that these

806
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 20: are two developments. Kyrie Irving is having a lot better chemistry,

807
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 20: and I think when he even dated the last season,

808
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 20: there was never any sense of their personality conflicts with

809
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 20: Luka Doncic or you know, how they figure out each

810
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 20: other's roles. They just didn't have much time together. I

811
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 20: think a second piece. They actually have a supporting cast.

812
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 20: You mentioned PJ. Washington, Derek Wivey, the seconds and the

813
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 20: great guy, and I think those are really the two

814
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 20: call forts. You have PJ who can defend one through five,

815
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 20: great outside shooter, Derek Wively, great rebounder, great diver to

816
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 20: the rim, and they're you know, they know the role

817
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 20: and they excel at as complimentary players. So I think

818
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 20: it's that you know, yes, Luca Doctors has had troubled

819
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 20: double performances in the second round matchup, but A he

820
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 20: was hurt and B he wasn't always efficient, But that

821
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 20: didn't matter because you know, they actually have a team

822
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 20: around him and they need it because they Olkahoma City Thunder.

823
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 20: They're a young team that's just getting started.

824
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, just one final thought on the Mavericks before

825
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 3: we move on to Game seven. I still find it

826
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 3: pretty wild how quiet. I don't mean scoring wise, I

827
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 3: don't mean anything he's done on the court, but just

828
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 3: how it's It's been such a good season for Kyrie

829
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 3: Irving and we haven't really had to worry about any

830
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 3: the world is flat stowing up at.

831
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 2: Random city council meetings.

832
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 3: I mean, has he accepted the role and do you

833
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 3: think he seems comfortable in it right now of just

834
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 3: being Luca's right hand guy?

835
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean, look, I think even dating back to

836
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 20: his time in Brooklyn, I don't think there was ever

837
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 20: this feeling that he wasn't accepting his role. And he

838
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 20: was on the court, it's really good. The problem is

839
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 20: we just didn't know when he'd be on the court

840
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 20: because of just a lot of unprecedented examples that you

841
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 20: would never guess in a BINGO card for reasons why

842
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 20: he's not available. One, you know, not getting the vaccine

843
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 20: with an organization that plays in the city that requires it,

844
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 20: be promoting an antisemitic film that the NBA found wasn't

845
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 20: good to do for obvious reasons, so they suspended him.

846
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 20: And then I think I guess the third part that

847
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 20: is more conventional is he is healthier than he has

848
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 20: been recent seasons. But I think that dating back to

849
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 20: his abrupt time out of Cleveland when he wanted to

850
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 20: be traded, there always seemed to be something attached to

851
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 20: him that made his presence not worth it, even though

852
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 20: he's just such a brilliant basketball player and so far,

853
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 20: you know, from day one, the Mavericks have really been

854
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 20: singing his praises. Obviously not just with his skill, but

855
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 20: just how he is in the locker room and how

856
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 20: he is as a leader. I don't think this absolves

857
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 20: him from some of those other previous incidents. It all

858
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 20: warranted criticism, but I think in fairness, when he's been

859
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 20: with Dallas, it's all been about basketball. When it's all

860
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 20: about basketball, Kyrie, it's usually pretty good before.

861
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 3: We talk Game seven, I'm Sam Presty. I call Mark Medina.

862
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 2: What advice he gives me?

863
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 20: He's not doing that, but let's go ahead.

864
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know Sam's really works in secrecy. But let's

865
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 3: say things change. What advice would you give OKC to

866
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 3: take that next step? We know the first round picks.

867
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 3: You can't possibly keep that many first round picks on

868
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 3: your roster. Do you see them get aggressive and trying

869
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 3: to get another star? What advice would you give Sam Presty?

870
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 20: Yeah, well, I think the advice that he would would

871
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 20: get for me but doesn't need is probably what he

872
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 20: already thinks, is that it's just about main painting continuity

873
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 20: because you look at what's driven some of these other

874
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 20: teams from being able to be successful, and most notably

875
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 20: with Denver, they've been maintaining continuity. Now that doesn't mean

876
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 20: there's no changes. Ironically enough, because of where you're mentioning

877
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 20: about the assets, the Thunder are in the buyer's position

878
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 20: this offseason, they could go big game hunting, but I

879
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 20: think at the same time they want to protect their core.

880
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 20: They also want to protect the fact that it's not imminit.

881
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 20: But I think for two years from now and three

882
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 20: years from now, some of their main guys are going

883
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 20: to start being eligible for extensions, and that's when they

884
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 20: have the opportunity to avoid the James Harten mistake from

885
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 20: a decade ago when they let them go to Houston.

886
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 20: Because they're trying to be prouted with their salary cap

887
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 20: and the tax implications, so with that, they can certainly splurge,

888
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 20: but I think they'll be judicious knowing that they have

889
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 20: to be cap savvy in a few seasons from now.

890
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 20: I think the other reason why they'll be judicious is

891
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 20: that they want to continue to improve the roster but

892
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 20: still maintain that continuity so they can improve from within,

893
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 20: because you know, this team is young, and again, I

894
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 20: think they're just getting started.

895
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 3: Mark, let's shift to some Game seven's today. Everyone's favorite

896
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 3: word in the English language a Game seven, and maybe

897
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 3: even better, a Game seven in Madison Square Garden. I

898
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 3: really love what Josh hart has become to this team

899
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 3: and for this team. How concerned are you though, that

900
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 3: he's going to be ready to go tonight?

901
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm really concerned. I mean, that abdominal injury did

902
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 20: not look fun. He looked like he was in pain,

903
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 20: but I think, you know, the broader part is just

904
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 20: how broken down are the next going to be in

905
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 20: Game seven because you know Og I don't know he's

906
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 20: trying to make it a go, but he's been out

907
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 20: since Game two with a straying hamstring. We already know

908
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 20: there's not going to be a Julius Ran There's not

909
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 20: gonna be Mitchell Robinson, there's gonna be there's not gonna

910
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 20: be bot Ondanovich. Thankfully, for the Knicks, they'll have Jalen Brunson,

911
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 20: but we don't know what version Jalen Brunson that they'll get.

912
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 20: We know he'll be competitive, we know that he'll do

913
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 20: everything he can to rectify his poor shooting performance in

914
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 20: Game six, but he's been dealing with his own injuries.

915
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 20: All that being said, I do give the edge of

916
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 20: the Knicks. I think home poor advantage is real, especially

917
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 20: in the Garden. I think that their resiliency is real.

918
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 20: I think the fact that they have a lot of

919
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 20: role players that have shown that resiliency, most embody under

920
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 20: Tom Tibudo is real. And I think that when you

921
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 20: look at the ups and downs of this series, I

922
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 20: think the Knicks have been rebounding from the fact that

923
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 20: they're not a complete team day in and day out,

924
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 20: and the Pacers have been rebound from from the fact

925
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 20: that the previous game they haven't really played up to

926
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 20: a really high level of effort. And so I think

927
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 20: with that it's going to be a theatrical game seven

928
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 20: at the Garden with the next probably the most theatrical

929
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 20: syntheta World of Three moment in the seventies.

930
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 3: Do you, in in Mark's opinion, do you consider Haliburton

931
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 3: to be a star? Is Tyrese Haliburton a guy that

932
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 3: you think the Pacers should and could build around.

933
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 20: I think, of course there's no question with that. Now

934
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 20: does that mean he can get better? Yes, of course,

935
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 20: you know there there's another level of stardom that he

936
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 20: can get to. And I think, you know, the one

937
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 20: level here is that you can't have long periods of

938
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 20: you know, a slump. I mean, it's inevitable, even stars

939
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 20: go through that, but it has to last only you know,

940
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 20: one or two games or three games and nothing more.

941
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 20: And the playoffs, it's got to be raising your game

942
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 20: to a high level, even when you account for the

943
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 20: fact that you're going to get a double team. You're

944
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 20: the marked man and you know, even if you have

945
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 20: games that shots start falling, you have to have a

946
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 20: fallback plan. And in fairness to Tyree's he usually had

947
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 20: that this season, but it just hasn't been able to

948
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 20: be replicated consistently during the playoffs. But no, he has

949
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 20: a great formula. He's a really fast playmaker, he can

950
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 20: drive to the basket. The biggest The bigger thing is

951
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 20: he makes his teammates around him better and he's very humble.

952
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,879
Speaker 20: And I think that that's a great combination. They'd want

953
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 20: your star, and you know, certainly someone of the Pacers

954
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 20: want to build around because he's such a great talent

955
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 20: and teammates that he has love playing with him. I'm

956
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 20: sure he'll be a good selling point for prospective free

957
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 20: agents and future seasons as well.

958
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.

959
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 3: Out of Game seven, I can't figure this series out.

960
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 3: I still think that's a misprint. There is no way

961
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 3: in Minnesota be Denver by forty. But good luck trying

962
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 3: to figure this one out. Mark which way you leaning

963
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 3: right now? In the Nuggets Wolves?

964
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's really hard. But if I had to pick,

965
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 20: I guess the Nuggets only because they have home court

966
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 20: and there to defending champs. But I'm not really picking

967
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 20: with confidence because Minnesota's will player really well, Mike Conley's back,

968
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 20: and you know, the Nuggets have some injury questions about

969
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 20: Jamal Murray. He said he was fine after practice, but

970
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 20: you just never know. That right elbow injury clearly affected

971
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,399
Speaker 20: him in Game six, And well, I do suspect he'll

972
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 20: play till he won't let that be inhibiting his aggressiveness.

973
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 20: You do wonder from a tactical standpoint, if that'll hurt

974
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 20: his efficiency or not. So, yeah, I don't know which

975
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 20: team to pick here. So if anyone is making a

976
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 20: terrible wager on that, don't blame me.

977
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be careful about that. All right, two silly

978
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 3: season things and I'll let you get out of here.

979
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 3: Last night, we spent a lot of time talking about

980
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 3: the Lakers coaching surge in the reality of you know,

981
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 3: is this going to be JJ Reddick? Are they trying

982
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 3: to build a superstaff around him? Mark, I know you've

983
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 3: been covering this closely. You get an idea of the timeline.

984
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 3: Is is this JJ Reddick job to lose right now?

985
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 20: Well, it all depends on what people are telling you.

986
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 20: What you know there's a sense from outside of the

987
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 20: Lakers that they feel it is JJ Reddick's job to lose.

988
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 20: He's the favorite candidate and that they're going to try

989
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 20: to have veteran assistants around him. But you know, the

990
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 20: Lakers and fairness to how they're thinking, they're starting to

991
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 20: do the interview process this week after being in the combine,

992
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 20: and they want to be very deliberative. But no doubt

993
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 20: whether they go with JJ Reddick or they go with

994
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 20: a veteran assistant coach or anyone else. I've been told

995
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 20: it's certainly a priority that they have a really quality

996
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 20: coaching staff that has, you know, kind of a mix

997
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 20: of experienced coaches as well as a mix of people

998
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 20: that could be good player development. And you know, I

999
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,959
Speaker 20: think philosophically, they also want that candidate. It might sound

1000
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 20: like corporate bumbo jumble, like they want the candidate to

1001
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 20: be perfect, but they know that the candidate is imperfect.

1002
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 20: But they want someone who's good with managing the game,

1003
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 20: can make adjustments as a firm command of knowing how

1004
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 20: to you know, have respect for both Lebron James, Andy

1005
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,800
Speaker 20: Davis and the role players. And that's hard, you know,

1006
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 20: easier said than done, especially if you're inexperience. But I

1007
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 20: think it's more about you know, embracing whatever strengths you

1008
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 20: have and then you know, owning up your shortcomings by

1009
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 20: leaning on your staff and just continuing to make up

1010
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 20: for that with a really good work ethic.

1011
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 3: And then the other big name that I keep hearing

1012
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 3: about is Donovan Mitchell and the Calves. But I just

1013
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 3: it seems kind of wild to think that they would

1014
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 3: tap out after what two seasons. And listen, I know

1015
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 3: they might look and say, all right, we're not going

1016
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 3: to catch Boston. We got a lot of work to do.

1017
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 3: But it just seems rather quick to say, yeah, this

1018
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 3: isn't going to work for Donovan Mitchell in Cleveland.

1019
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:56,240
Speaker 2: But also we got his clock is ticking too, right.

1020
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean he's eligible for an extension this summer,

1021
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 20: And I mean this is just the way the modern

1022
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 20: NBA works that if he declines it, that you know,

1023
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 20: might basically give a clear signal of how he feels

1024
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 20: about the team. Technically, a Cats don't have to do anything.

1025
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 20: You have one of your left on his contract. But

1026
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 20: you know, if someone's eligible for an extension, that's you know,

1027
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 20: a star player and they say, no, you do start

1028
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 20: second guessing. Okay, it's right on the wall, and shall

1029
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 20: we start getting something in return instead of laying him

1030
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 20: leave next summer for nothing. So that's really where the

1031
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 20: financial point of contention is. But I'm with you, you know,

1032
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 20: not that anyone's blameless, but a lot of things that

1033
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 20: could explain why the Cleveland Cavaliers lost the second round

1034
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,720
Speaker 20: have to do with two things. One, the Boston Celtics

1035
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 20: are a lot better than them, and two, they weren't

1036
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 20: consistently healthy all season and Donovan Mitchell missed a few

1037
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 20: games of that series alone. So yeah, there might be

1038
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 20: some issues with maybe Bickerstaffs coaching, but he has had success.

1039
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 20: There might be some issues about, Okay, how did Devin Domovon,

1040
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 20: Mitchell and Darius Garland figure out chemistry? Same thing with

1041
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 20: Jared Allen and have a mobile. But you know, one

1042
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 20: thing that really helps does all those chemistry issues if

1043
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 20: there's actually a lot more games that they have together

1044
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 20: to figure it out. But you know, as you know,

1045
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 20: there's the NBA and there's not really a lot of

1046
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 20: patience with these things.

1047
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 3: Mark, I'm so grateful you still found time for us,

1048
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 3: even with Bernie Out. I appreciate your insight in your

1049
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 3: analysis and look forward to hearing your recap everything.

1050
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 2: And I'm following it on Twitter.

1051
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 20: Bud, appreciate your man, have a good one you too at.

1052
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 2: Mark g Underscore Medina. It is magic. It is magic

1053
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 2: Ian emotional right now. Oh, think about I.

1054
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 3: Don't know what the number would be, Maybe maybe a

1055
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 3: couple hundred overnight shows that I've done well, probably a

1056
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 3: little bit more than that here on Fox Sports Radio.

1057
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 3: And to finally finally get a guest, well, this is exciting. Hey,

1058
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 3: the softball game wrapped up. I could probably get a

1059
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 3: guest from there too. You really want to see me

1060
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 3: get teary eyed?

1061
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 2: How mad? How mad would the beeps be?

1062
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 7: And me?

1063
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 2: If I bring on a softball guest.

1064
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 3: Here's my buddy, Eric Glopez. He was at that UCF game.

1065
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 3: I've got some wild numbers from that when we come back. Plus,

1066
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 3: I want to get into the Bronni James conversation.

1067
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 2: Listen.

1068
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 3: I'm not here to debate whether or not he's NBA

1069
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 3: worthy or NBA ready or anything like that. Just it's

1070
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:33,439
Speaker 3: kind of fascinating the different messages we're getting from both

1071
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 3: Bronni and even from what Lebron appears to want. We'll

1072
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 3: dive into it coming up next on a day with

1073
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 3: two game sevens, we'll have you covered on a Fox

1074
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 3: Sports Sunday. All right, it's the Bernie Frado Show, and

1075
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 3: for Bernie, I'm Chris Plank right here on Fox Sports Radio.

1076
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 3: As we come to you live from the ti rack

1077
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,920

Speaker 3: We had a guest at Mark g Underscore Medina, Mark

1084
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 3: Funky Cold Medina joining us here on a Fox Sports Sunday.

1085
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 3: Make sure you give him a follow on Twitter. Mavericks.

1086
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 3: Moving on, they eliminated the thunder. There is some debate

1087
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 3: about whether or not Mark dagnallt, the Oklahoma City head coach,

1088
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 3: should have challenged the final foul call, and he was

1089
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 3: asked about it after the game.

1090
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 4: Oh, just would you make a rule at the end.

1091
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 12: I don't have as good of a replay as there

1092
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 12: was on TV, so you know, I just you know,

1093
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 12: he got ball, you know, and then obviously.

1094
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 7: Got arm as well.

1095
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 12: You know, I thought he might have gotten the ball first,

1096
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 12: and just in that situation, you know, even without leaving

1097
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 12: myself a time out, I thought any chance that we

1098
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 12: could take points off the board and reverse that call

1099
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 12: would be worth the risk.

1100
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 4: So that's why I went and got it.

1101
00:58:58,960 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 2: By the way, I.

1102
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 3: I gotta give Jason Kidds some credit here too. I know, shocking,

1103
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 3: right for a guy that Bodian and I are shocked.

1104
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 3: We forgot about the Jason Kidd era as the head

1105
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 3: coach of the Milwaukee Bucks when trying to talk a

1106
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 3: little bit about the potential of Adrian Griffin being in

1107
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 3: any coaching mixes again. But Jason Kidd when he made

1108
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 3: the call to have PJ. Washington intentionally missed the free

1109
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 3: throws automatically, I thought, yeah, that's a terrible idea, because

1110
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 3: I think you see more guys either make a free

1111
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 3: throw when they're intentionally trying to miss it, or you

1112
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 3: remember you got hit rim. I've seen more guys just

1113
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 3: break it off the backboard and then you get you

1114
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 3: can't move it up to half court obviously, but then

1115
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 3: you get a free inbound. But Jason Kidd afterwards talked

1116
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 3: about the decision to go ahead and have PJ. Washington

1117
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 3: missed that third free throw after he'd made the first two.

1118
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 21: The biggest play. It won't go as the biggest play,

1119
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 21: but the mister free throw in the proper way without

1120
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 21: you know, sometimes we say mister free throw and we'll

1121
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 21: just hit the backboard and they get the setup. We

1122
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 21: didn't want them to set up. They had no timeouts,

1123
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 21: and so we've learned, you know, not to run away

1124
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 21: from the ball, but to press the ball to make

1125
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 21: the ball go back. And because we've lost the game

1126
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 21: that way, so a lot of things that we've learned

1127
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 21: along the way. We were able to execute their late game.

1128
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 3: Jason Kidd still grown as a coach. Things you love

1129
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 3: to see if you're a Mavericks fan. Now we wait

1130
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 3: to see who the opponent will be. Timberwolves and Nuggets

1131
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 3: coming up. Their game seven is in primetime tonight at

1132
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 3: eight o'clock Eastern time, three point thirty Eastern for the

1133
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 3: Pacers and Nick's coming up this afternoon. Next hour, We're

1134
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 3: going to dive into some news and nuggets on the game.

1135
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 3: Hey get it Nuggets, some news and bullet points getting

1136
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 3: into those Game sevens. Things to watch for coming up

1137
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 3: a little bit later on today before Kevin Wyre jumps

1138
01:00:58,040 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 3: in here for the update. I want to pay off

1139
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 3: a team. I feel like we've spent way too much

1140
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 3: time talking about Brownie James. But then I also feel

1141
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 3: like that it's a fascinating story going into the NBA draft,

1142
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 3: going into an NBA draft that let's face it, there

1143
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 3: is no Victor wimbin Yama in this draft, or at

1144
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 3: least it doesn't appear as if there's a Victor wimbin.

1145
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 2: Yama in this draft right.

1146
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 3: There is a lot of unknown The Hawks have the

1147
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 3: number one pick overall for the first time in franchise history,

1148
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 3: and I don't mean, is it gonna be one of

1149
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 3: the French big men Alexander Saar? Is it gonna be Risache?

1150
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, But that kind of tells you all

1151
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 3: you need to know about the excitement level of this draft.

1152
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 3: There's just not much. So when you have one of

1153
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 3: the greatest players of all time and his son who

1154
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 3: is made himself eligible for this draft, who still has

1155
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 3: the opportunity to go back to college, but it seems

1156
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 3: like he's staying in the draft. When you have that,

1157
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 3: when you have a guy like Bronnie whose skill set

1158
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 3: has been so debated, I think it becomes a relevant storyline.

1159
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 3: And with Lebron James making it known that hey, he

1160
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 3: wants to play for his son, sorry, play on the

1161
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 3: same team as his son, well, that adds another wrinkle

1162
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 3: to this.

1163
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 2: So this week on the I never I'm a terrible

1164
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 2: podcast consumer a sports podcast.

1165
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 3: I'll just be honest with you. I probably don't listen

1166
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,919
Speaker 3: to y'all's podcasts, but I'll listen to all your little

1167
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 3: social media clips that you'll throw out. So I apologize.

1168
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 3: Kay Adams Up and Adams Show. She had Shams on

1169
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 3: as a guest, and she asked him, Hey, is there

1170
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 3: a chance that a team could draft Bronnie James ahead

1171
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 3: of the Lakers, who, again, Los Angeles just does not

1172
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 3: have a first round pick, right, So is there a

1173
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:03,919
Speaker 3: possibility that you could be looking at maybe a team

1174
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 3: like I'm just I'm looking here on the draft me

1175
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 3: like Miami, maybe like Orlando that could draft Bronnie James

1176
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 3: in the hopes that they could change Lebron's James Lebron

1177
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 3: James mind about the player option, I think I set

1178
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 3: that out if I didn't do a good job, I

1179
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 3: think Key Adams picks me up.

1180
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 17: Right here, like, is there a world that somebody could

1181
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 17: pick A team could pick Bronni.

1182
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 22: Just to lure Lebron.

1183
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 23: Well, that's the thought, and it would not surprise me

1184
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 23: in the coming weeks if a team does reach out

1185
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 23: to Rich Paul or anyone else around.

1186
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 22: Bronney James or anyone else has any idea or Lebron.

1187
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 23: James and himself and says, hey, if we draft Bronnie James,

1188
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 23: would you come as well, Lebron?

1189
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 22: And the answer to that is going to.

1190
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 23: Be no, as of right now, that that's not a given,

1191
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 23: that's not something that is going to be preordained. Not Listen,

1192
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 23: if the Lakers go out there and draft Bronnie James,

1193
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 23: they feel like he's going to be a good fit

1194
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 23: for them. And one thing, the Lakers are in the

1195
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 23: midst of a coaching search, and one important element of

1196
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 23: that search is going to be player development and hiring

1197
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 23: someone for.

1198
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 22: The next four or five six years that can help you.

1199
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 23: Because Lebron James I reported he's going to play about

1200
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 23: up to two NBA seasons.

1201
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,439
Speaker 22: So the Lakers themselves, assuming.

1202
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 23: They get Lebron James back, They're don't have to prepare

1203
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 23: for life without him anyway.

1204
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 22: So player development is going to be a big part of.

1205
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 2: That, yeah, you know.

1206
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 3: And it's it's interesting because there's some first round picks

1207
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 3: over the last I don't know, in three or four years,

1208
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 3: I kind of had some high hopes for that. You

1209
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 3: haven't really been able to develop. I mean, Jade McDaniels

1210
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 3: whom they drafted, I don't know if we ever played

1211
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 3: for him, Isaiah Jackson, you know, Jalen Hood Schafino, the

1212
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 3: Max Christie was the second round pick. I mean, these

1213
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 3: are guys that whenever you brought him in you kind

1214
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,080
Speaker 3: of thought, oh, maybe there's a chance to develop him,

1215
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 3: but they never end up having a role. I mean,

1216
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 3: I was trying to go down through here. Can you

1217
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 3: name the last Lakers first round pick that ended up

1218
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 3: having a role on the team. I mean Lonzo Ball

1219
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 3: in twenty seventeen, right, and he was the number two

1220
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 3: pick overall in the draft.

1221
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 2: But what did he end up becoming?

1222
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 13: Bait?

1223
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 2: Trey Bait, Brandon Ingram, that was pretty good pick.

1224
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 3: The Angelo Russell worked out okay, But since Alonzo Ball,

1225
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 3: mo Wagner ended up moving on from him DeAndre Hunter.

1226
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 2: I just I don't have to go back through the list, but.

1227
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 3: It's been a franchise that unfortunately has kind of sucked

1228
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 3: when it's come to the draft over the last four years.

1229
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 2: So you do have to start preparing for the future,

1230
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 2: but you haven't developed what you have.

1231
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Lebron James's son, Ronnie, has been pretty honest about

1232
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 3: at the very least what his mindset is. And it's

1233
01:05:55,360 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 3: not a situation where Ronnie James Bidy strategy imagination is

1234
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 3: just pining away to play with his dad. I mean,

1235
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 3: Lebron is the guy who came out and said, hey, man,

1236
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 3: I want to play with Bronnie. Meanwhile, Bronni's like, yeah,

1237
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 3: I kind of want to just play in the NBA.

1238
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 10: My dream has always just been to put my name out,

1239
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 10: make a name for myself, and of course, you know

1240
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 10: it gets to the NBA, which is everyone's angle at

1241
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 10: us here, and you know, I never thought about just

1242
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 10: playing with my dad, but of course he's He's brought

1243
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 10: it up a couple of times.

1244
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 3: He has he has publicly, which again you're Lebron James,

1245
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 3: do what you want. But Ronnie James is uh, kind

1246
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 3: of sitting back saying, you know, I kind of like

1247
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 3: to do this on my own accord.

1248
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 24: Right now.

1249
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 25: This is a serious business, and I don't feel like

1250
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 25: there would be like a thought of I'm just drafting

1251
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 25: this kid just because of I'm gonna get his dad, Like,

1252
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 25: I don't think a GM would would.

1253
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 4: Really allow that.

1254
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 25: I think I've put in the work and I'll get

1255
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 25: drafted because of the person, not only the player, but

1256
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 25: the person that I am.

1257
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 3: All right, when we come back to the tiraq dot

Speaker 3: the Lakers are going to do and I'm not happy

1262
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 3: about it. This would be two nights in a row

1263
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,640

1264
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 3: in the show about the future of what's supposed to

01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 3: Bernie Fratto show here on a Fox Sports sunday'n Chris

1329
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 3: Plank sitting in Ian Roddy running the show, Marks on

1330
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 3: the Wheels of Steel, Kevin Wyre on updates.

1331
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 5: Ian.

1332
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 3: I went to an NBA dot com a mock draft.

1333
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 3: I think Bleacher Report runs it. Some of these pro

1334
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 3: comparisons would make me want to trade the draft pick.

1335
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:13,680
Speaker 3: I mean, you have It's just the dumb luck, is

1336
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 3: it not? Of the Atlanta Hawks. For the first time

1337
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 3: in program or in the franchise history, you get the

1338
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 3: number one, number one overall pick in the draft, and

1339
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 3: even though he had a great season this year, the

1340
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 3: pro comp for the number one overall picking the draft

1341
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 3: Alex Sar is Jared Jackson junior. Now again, Jared had

1342
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 3: a nice season if he can be. He's been a

1343
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 3: double double digit producer his entire career. But I don't know, man,

1344
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 3: Whenever I have the number one overall pick, Wimbin Yama

1345
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:54,760
Speaker 3: cornerstone franchise guy in twenty twenty three, right it was.

1346
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 2: I don't think there was any.

1347
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 3: Like tank for Wimby or anything like that, but there

1348
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 3: was there was the idea that you were getting a

1349
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 3: generational talent with Victor Winbinyama, Paulo Boncio in twenty two. Now,

1350
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 3: there was a little bit of debate late about him,

1351
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 3: but as we got really really tight down to the draft,

1352
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,719
Speaker 3: to quickly became obvious that he was the best player

1353
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 3: in the draft.

1354
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 2: I even think.

1355
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 3: I know it's not been the greatest start to his career,

1356
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 3: but I still think Kate Cunningham is a gid. Anthony

1357
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 3: Edwards was the top overall pick in nineteen, Zion Williamson

1358
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 3: still out in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, twenty nineteen for Zion,

1359
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 3: and now here you are with a number one pick,

1360
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 3: and the comparisons of the guys that could go one

1361
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:46,679
Speaker 3: and two are Jaron Jackson Junior and Harrison Barnes.

1362
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 2: Think about this, Reed Shephard is projected to go three

1363
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:55,600
Speaker 2: his pro comparison.

1364
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 3: I don't do comps. I think they're kind of dumb.

1365
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 3: But for the sake of this segment, they got Kirk

1366
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 3: Heinrich as the comparison for Reed Shepherd. Why in the

1367
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 3: world would you draft someone at three overall in the

1368
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 3: draft who would have a career comparable to Kirk Heinrich.

1369
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 3: No offense, Kirk, You're awesome, but not at number three

1370
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:18,759
Speaker 3: overall in the draft.

1371
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 15: I think what thing to keep in mind though, is

1372
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 15: that with these comparisons, it's just like comparing their their

1373
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 15: their play style, you know what I mean. It's not like, Oh,

1374
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 15: Alex Saar is going to be the same caliber as

1375
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 15: Jaron Jackson.

1376
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,759
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. They have the Denver Nuggets

1377
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:35,719
Speaker 2: pick fifty six.

1378
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 3: This is again, I'm not going to do this all night,

1379
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 3: I promise, but I'm just I got sucked into a

1380
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,000
Speaker 3: stupid mock draft. The Denver Nuggets are picking fifty six.

1381
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 3: They have them projected to take Cam Spencer. Who their

1382
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 3: comp is, Jeff Horniccheck. I would probably take that guy

1383
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 3: like number five in the draft, if you give me

1384
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,560
Speaker 3: Jeff Horncheck. The problem that I have right now is

1385
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 3: I was hoping to find some sort of pro comp

1386
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 3: for Brownie James, but they don't have him projected as

1387
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 3: a guy that's gonna get picked.

1388
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 2: So, I I mean, I don't know.

1389
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 3: Here's my grinch. I know we got a break. I

1390
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 3: know we got a break, but I want to move

1391
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 3: on past the Lakers Ian. Should I be okay with

1392
01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 3: him deciding to commit to le Bron for a couple

1393
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 3: more years? Try to develop some of these guys and

1394
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 3: they can get younger players they're not gonna have draft

1395
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 3: picks to build from, but maybe develop a little bit

1396
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 3: more and feel good about a future when Lebron moves

1397
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 3: on playing with his son Ronnie James next year, that

1398
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis can be the cornerstone he needs to be

1399
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 3: and they can be okay once Lebron retires or am

1400
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:41,639
Speaker 3: I doomed?

1401
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 15: So are you asking, like, to what extent should they

1402
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:49,560
Speaker 15: really be acquiescing to Lebron? Correct to me, you're the

1403
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 15: Lakers too. I'm very impressed by that. Yeah, thank you,

1404
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 15: thank you. You're you're the Lakers. You know, like you're

1405
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 15: You're a franchise that some of the best players in

1406
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 15: NBA history have played for. You're not a franchise that

1407
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 15: is that needs to stoop down to that level where

1408
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 15: you need to behold to a player, even a player

1409
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 15: as great as Lebron James. It's just to me, you're

1410
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 15: you're not You're not the Nets, You're not the Hornets.

1411
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 15: Who who If you're one of those franchises, I get it.

1412
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 15: You know you're you're going all in. You want to

1413
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 15: give this all time player what he wants. But for

1414
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 15: the Lakers, I think you can afford to move on.

1415
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 15: I think you're that caliber of a franchise. But I

1416
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:26,640
Speaker 15: don't know about move on. But I just think like

1417
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:29,719
Speaker 15: you don't need to do everything that Lebron James wants.

1418
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,719
Speaker 15: And if he's gonna move on because you aren't willing

1419
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 15: to do that, then so be it.

1420
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 3: When we come back to the tiraq dot com studios,

1421
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 3: I'll let you know if I'm gonna buy the advice

1422
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 3: that Ian has given me. But in all seriousness, we've

1423
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:43,000

1437
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:22,799
Speaker 3: I told you I I bet. Holler and James fell asleep.

1438
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:26,600
Speaker 2: That's on me. See I preach about it. It's like

1439
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 2: Arnie and I on Sunday nights.

1440

01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 2: I just fell victim to the Arnie game.

01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,680
Speaker 3: coming up next hour. I want to talk national footage.

1452
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 3: There seems to be some I just saw my man

1453
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 3: Gunny's tweet and I said, resin, Sorry, Gunny, that was very,

1454
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 3: very exciting to see the pile of weed that you

1455
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 3: are smoking here tonight. I hope the show makes a

1456
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 3: little bit more sense to you than it does to

1457
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:21,599
Speaker 3: me here right now. But we're still getting a little

1458
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 3: bit of maybe shrapnel might be the way to put it.

1459
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 3: From the end of the Jason, Jason Martin and the

1460
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:39,080
Speaker 3: Aaron Torres Show. Because I don't have a take on

1461
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 3: Harrison bud Kerr's comments, I just I don't.

1462
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 2: I don't.

1463
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 3: I'm kind of I'm kind of surprised that everyone's mad

1464
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 3: about his his vision, his idea of what you know,

1465
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 3: a woman's role is, and everybody completely ignores that he

1466
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 3: just absolutely took a blowtorch towards.

1467
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 2: I mean, it's the funniest thing about this. How dare

1468
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 2: you speak for women?

1469
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, he talks about celebrating a month of debauchery, and

1470
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:12,639
Speaker 3: everyone's kind of like, yeah, that's fine, but this whole

1471
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 3: thing he.

1472
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 2: Says about women. So I wanted to read.

1473
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 3: Two tweets now we got on this, I want to

1474
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 3: read two a Head News, who I consider to be

1475
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 3: one of the foremost connoisseurs of hot takes.

1476
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 2: I like you Ahead News.

1477
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:35,200
Speaker 3: He writes the greatest thing about Harrison Butker, And by

1478
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 3: the way, I want to make this clear, it's not

1479
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 3: Harrison Butler, it's Harrison Butker.

1480
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 2: Okay.

1481
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 3: The greatest thing about the Harrison Butker story, it's a

1482
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:46,639
Speaker 3: text bookcase.

1483
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,639
Speaker 2: On how to destroy the woke mind virus.

1484
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 3: Wait until you make the big check, win a Super Bowl,

1485
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 3: and blast away the NFL and media can't do a

1486
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 3: damn thing to you. And then there's Brendan who writes

1487
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 3: guarding Harrison Butker's comments. To be crystal clear, he absolutely

1488
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 3: said nothing that was wrong. We've got some entitled, pampered

1489
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 3: a holes that think it's their way or the highway.

1490
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 3: I have no desire to listen to vile hypocrites like them.

1491
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:18,519
Speaker 3: Well listen, I just want to make this very clear.

1492
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 3: As a fan of the Las Vegas Raiders and someone

1493
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 3: who wants to see a little parody back in the

1494
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 3: AFC West, I kind of think the Chiefs should cut him,

1495
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:28,640
Speaker 3: let him go, get him out of there. Can't be

1496
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 3: having this kind of talk. In fact, if I was

1497
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:35,240
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes, I would demand a trade until Harrison Butker

1498
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 3: is not on the Chiefs anymore.

1499
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 2: And if I was.

1500
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey, I would say, I'm not playing as long

1501
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:44,720
Speaker 3: as that guy's kicking field goals for us. And then

1502
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 3: maybe if you're Kansas City, you gotta think about sticking

1503
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:50,400
Speaker 3: behind your kicker now because he's selling so many jerseys.

1504
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 4: None you buying that.

1505
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 3: It's just hilarious to me the things that end up

1506
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 3: making headlines. I mean the Tom Brady roast last week.

1507
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 3: I'm Brady roast. We're having some sort of sympathetic ear

1508
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:11,680
Speaker 3: for a murderer's wife, our girlfriend who may have been

1509
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 3: involved in some sort of cover up or at the

1510
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 3: very least some sort of involvement in the issue that

1511
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 3: led to the band being in jail, and we're gonna

1512
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 3: have some sort of Oh, man, that's too bad she

1513
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 3: had to hear that. I wonder sometimes if if we

1514
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 3: understand what a roast or what these commencement speeches are about,

1515
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 3: doesn't always have to be about you. Everyone's got different opinions, man,

1516
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:39,559
Speaker 3: and what makes this country so great, or at least

1517
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 3: it did. Everyone's got a different opinion, everyone's got a

1518
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,759
Speaker 3: different mindset. But in the end, we all come together

1519
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 3: under one true belief, and that is the Chief should

1520
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 3: probably trade Mahomes and stick with Harrison Butker.

1521
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 2: But that's just me, all right.

1522
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 3: When we come back to the Tyraq dot Com studios,

1523
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:59,080
Speaker 3: NFL Talk QB, questions abound.

1524
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1525
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's officially a Fox Sports Sunday two. Game seven's

1527
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:15,840

01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:20,120
Speaker 3: point thirty Eastern Pacers and Knicks, eight o'clock tonight, Tea,

1529

Speaker 3: Wolves and Nuggets. Now for that eighty eastern two hours

1530
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 3: will be your first I think I think Gardney and

1531
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 3: I will be on either right as that game wraps

1532
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 3: up or at the very least midway through the fourth

1533
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 3: quarter to take you home for that Timberwolves Nuggets game tonight.

1534
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, we'll be back tonight from ten p to

01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 3: tire by should be. We had a game that ended

1543
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 3: in softball at three am Eastern time. I got some

1544
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 3: wild pitching notes on that. I've got ten hours worth

1545
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 3: of football content and I'm going to try to cram

1546
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 3: here into the final two that we've got, and I

1547
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:19,680
Speaker 3: feel like there's a there's a Tiger Woods question that

1548
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 3: needs to be asked. But listen, I'm all about you.

1549
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 3: I'm literally just the Steve Berline. I'm the backup. I'm

1550
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:31,840
Speaker 3: the Todd Marinovitch, I'm the Steve Polor. Bernie's the starter.

1551
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:34,639
Speaker 3: So I want to hear from you at eight seven,

1552
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 3: seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine ninety

1553
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:40,599
Speaker 3: six sixty three sixty nine, because come on, man, we're

1554
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 3: going through this at three am Central Time together on

1555
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 3: a Saturday night into a Sunday morning and holler and James.

1556
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 3: We tried to get him in earlier, but he is

1557
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 3: back to kick off our number three. What's going on? James?

1558
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 22: How are you?

1559
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 4: Buddy?

1560
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 24: Oh no, no.

1561
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 3: If if we go ohero for two on this edge, James,

1562
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 3: I might have to ban him. And by the way,

1563
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 3: I have no power to ban anybody. And I think

1564
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 3: I fill in, what do we have? Ian Like, maybe

1565
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:15,599
Speaker 3: what's Bernie take three shows off a year at three

1566
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 3: weekends off.

1567
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 17: For the year.

1568
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:17,679
Speaker 2: You're bad.

1569
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 3: I've lost my faith And you know what, I think

1570
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 3: this is a bit. I think this is a bit

1571
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,840
Speaker 3: of Holler and James. He did this to me when

1572
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 3: I was on Ben Maller the other day, did the

1573
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 3: same thing. Huh Is this an attack from the malord militia? Sorry,

1574
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 3: Holler and James, We'll try next time. I'm only going

1575
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 3: to assume that you wanted to talk about the controversial

1576
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:47,879
Speaker 3: ending to Game seven, Ian hold On. Can I position

1577
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 3: this as a controversial finish or is that kind of homeeristic?

1578
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 3: Seeing that the player involved in the foul says that

1579
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:57,320
Speaker 3: he committed a foul, I.

1580
01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 15: Mean, if he admitted it, it's there's not much of

1581
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 15: a controversy. But I will say I understand it, especially

1582
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:06,400
Speaker 15: when a Game seven comes down to the wire like that.

1583
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:07,439
Speaker 2: Are it wasn't Game seven, you.

1584
01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 5: Know what I mean?

1585
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, a season ending types exactly.

1586
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 15: When it comes down to the wire like that and

1587
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 15: comes down to a foul call, there's gonna be people

1588
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 15: calling it controversial regardless. But I think the fact that

1589
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 15: he came clean about it pretty solid.

1590
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City enters the off season with an all star

1591
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 3: corner piece near maximum cap space to target another potential

1592
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,280
Speaker 3: star if they want. They've got a decision on the

1593
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 3: future of Josh Giddy, but Hey, they don't have to

1594
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 3: rush that.

1595
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 2: They don't have to extend him now.

1596
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:41,599
Speaker 3: And they've got fifteen first round picks and twenty one

1597
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 3: second round picks over the next seven drafts through twenty thirty.

1598
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 3: According to hoops Hype, they are number one in something

1599
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 3: called the trade Value rankings. And we learned that Oklahoma

1600
01:24:56,200 --> 01:25:00,639
Speaker 3: City was pretty aggressive in trying to go after MOBILEI

1601
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 3: Evan Mobley, by the way, I almost said Katino Mobley

1602
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 3: and mean with us on Fox Sports Radio. We wanted

1603
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 3: to get Katino Mobley. We needed a left handed shooter, okay,

1604
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 3: But they were aggressive on the report from Shams this

1605
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 3: week in the twenty twenty one draft, trying to move

1606
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 3: up to get Evan Mobley. Could they be in that

1607
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:22,560
Speaker 3: game again this year to maybe try to if Cleveland's

1608
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 3: going to be selling assets? I mean, my god, Cleveland,

1609
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 3: how many different rebuilds are we going to go through?

1610
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 3: If you're going to bail on this current inclination or

1611
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 3: if Donovan Mitchell is going to back you into a corner?

1612
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 6: Right?

1613
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:35,640
Speaker 2: So could that mean a guy like Mobley could be

1614
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 2: available for Oklahoma City? Don't know.

1615
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 3: I think it's a fascinating story, and I think in

1616
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:43,639
Speaker 3: the end, Oklahoma City's going to be here for a while.

1617
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 3: But you also, you know, whenever you have a team

1618
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 3: that you seem like you had such control of after

1619
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:55,640
Speaker 3: Game one of this series, where you fought off every opportunity,

1620
01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 3: it seemed like when they were going to jump in

1621
01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:00,959
Speaker 3: front of you, it's got to suck tonight to realize

1622
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:04,680
Speaker 3: that that run is over. Afterwards, the third place not

1623
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 3: second place finisher in the MVP, Shay Gilgess Alexander talked

1624
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 3: about the season being a step in the right direction.

1625
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:12,720
Speaker 4: We definitely took a step in the right direction this year,

1626
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 4: to say the least.

1627
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 11: Now, this moment's things you don't want everyone to lose,

1628
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 11: but the definitely some good things to come out of it.

1629
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 4: In moments like this is what makes you know the champions.

1630
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:25,639
Speaker 4: You guys get better.

1631
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:28,679
Speaker 3: And regardless of how you feel about the late challenge

1632
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 3: on the three, regardless of how you feel about Shay

1633
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 3: Gilgess as a corner piece, you do at least have

1634
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 3: to admit that Sam Presty has put this franchise and

1635
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,400
Speaker 3: has given it the assets to be in as good

1636
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:48,440
Speaker 3: a position as maybe it's maybe just about any franchise

1637
01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 3: has ever been in I can't ever remember a time

1638
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 3: outside of some sort of video game created a league

1639
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 3: where you had a team that at this any assets

1640
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 3: from a draft capital perspective over the next ten years,

1641
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:09,640
Speaker 3: almost six years. And it's also good when you know

1642
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 3: you have a corner piece like Mark Dagnalt, their head

1643
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:14,559
Speaker 3: coach knows that they have an SGA.

1644
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 12: He's a big time player that hasn't gotten to prove

1645
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:19,680
Speaker 12: that on this stage yet. And I thought that was

1646
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 12: loud and clear over the course of the postseason and

1647
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 12: then tonight, I thought he played very well, you know,

1648
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:27,680
Speaker 12: obviously got to his spots. I thought the pace of

1649
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 12: the offense really helped him out, helped the whole team out.

1650
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:32,880
Speaker 12: He made big shots. Three hit to cut into the

1651
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 12: lead late, was big time shot and found his teammates again.

1652
01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:37,519
Speaker 12: You know, I mentioned that the last time we were

1653
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 12: in this room at the end of Game four, he

1654
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:43,679
Speaker 12: found guys and they hit. Tonight, he trusted those plays

1655
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 12: throughout the night.

1656
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:45,600
Speaker 16: You know.

1657
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 4: So obviously nothing positive, nothing but positive things to say.

1658
01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 3: And much like Shay Gildess Alexander said, Mark Dagnault says,

1659
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 3: this franchise, this program is headed in the right direction.

1660
01:27:57,560 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 22: I think if you it's painful right now.

1661
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:01,640
Speaker 12: But if you zoom out and you just look at

1662
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:04,560
Speaker 12: like year over year progress progress from the beginning of

1663
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:07,680
Speaker 12: the season till now, progress from the beginning of the

1664
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:11,439
Speaker 12: playoffs till now, you know, we're just a more seasoned,

1665
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 12: more matured, more connected, better, tougher, smarter, you know, where

1666
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:19,439
Speaker 12: everything you know. Through the course of the season, we

1667
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 12: talk a lot about growing through experiences. I thought we

1668
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:25,240
Speaker 12: did that, you know, to the highest degree, and it

1669
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 12: yielded obviously a very successful season despite not, you know,

1670
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 12: having a little more success in winning the series.

1671
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 3: I I always have this paranoia. You guys know, we're

1672
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:39,559
Speaker 3: only like three years removed from the Utah Jazz being

1673
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 3: the number one seed. I mean it's I look back

1674
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:46,640
Speaker 3: over history. The Utah Jazz with what looked to be

1675
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 3: a very strong core Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, up and

1676
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:54,840
Speaker 3: coming coach in Quin Snyder. Though Quinn had been around

1677
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:58,720
Speaker 3: for a while, but he and made the he had

1678
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:01,679
Speaker 3: made the NBA circ as an assistant, gets the job

1679
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 3: at Utah and you're like, dang man, he's cooking, and

1680
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:08,599
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, the bottom drops out. Mitchell's

1681
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:13,280
Speaker 3: unhappy Danny Ainge comes in, he flips him and they boom,

1682
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 3: go from the number one overall seed to a rebuild

1683
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:21,960
Speaker 3: in the blink of an eye. I don't think that's happening.

1684
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:24,400
Speaker 3: N Okay, see, I don't.

1685
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 4: It's just I.

1686
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:30,479
Speaker 3: Always get paranoid when you miss those opportunities. Nothing is guaranteed, right,

1687
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:33,760
Speaker 3: you feel really good about where they are. Nothing is guaranteed.

1688
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:36,680
Speaker 3: Thunder fans felt really good about where they are when

1689
01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:39,280
Speaker 3: they had hard in Westbrook and Durant and what to

1690
01:29:39,360 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 3: get them an NBA Finals appearance, a runner up, and

1691
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 3: that was it. Like this team though like it a lot.

1692
01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 3: Now on the flip side of it, maybe it would

1693
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 3: be nice if I spent some time talking about the

1694
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 3: team that's moving on, the Dallas Mavericks as we roll

1695
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 3: on here on Fox Sports Radio and for Bernie Frattow,

1696
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 3: I'm Chris plank Ian.

1697
01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:58,280
Speaker 2: I have a question for you. We can go around

1698
01:29:58,320 --> 01:29:59,559
Speaker 2: the horn on this if you guys want.

1699
01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 3: Do you think the Dallas Mavericks are what it surprised

1700
01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:07,240
Speaker 3: you is at all if the Dallas Mavericks won the title.

1701
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 3: Do you see this as a team with the way

1702
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 3: that they're put together, the move to bring in PJ.

1703
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:17,080
Speaker 3: Washington and what he's meant is this a team that

1704
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 3: can raise a banner? What do you think ian any

1705
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:24,000
Speaker 3: team that makes the Western Conference finals? I would say

1706
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 3: as a caliber team of winning the championship. But that

1707
01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:31,639
Speaker 3: being said, I just don't know if I see them

1708
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:36,040
Speaker 3: beating a team like Denver or even Minnesota. Mark, do

1709
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 3: you have a care on this one? I know Mark's

1710
01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 3: becoming more of an NBA guy every day. Oh yeah,

1711
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:45,599
Speaker 3: little by little. Yeah, the NBA stuff is picking up. Well, Okay, Anyway,

1712
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:51,280
Speaker 3: for commentary purposes, I would for the purpose of having

1713
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:54,800
Speaker 3: another team in the mix this year is a good thing,

1714
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 3: and for.

1715
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:00,640
Speaker 19: This time for Luca to get his chance at the

1716
01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:02,960
Speaker 19: big time, to.

1717
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:04,280
Speaker 2: Have another team in the mix.

1718
01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:08,800
Speaker 3: I like the way that you you phrase that, because, hey,

1719
01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:12,679
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City is a different team that was in the mix.

1720
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:15,280
Speaker 19: This year, right, they had their chance, and they've gotten

1721
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:19,280
Speaker 19: to a better point now, so they're better competitors. They

1722
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:23,160
Speaker 19: have the elements of a good team, and I guess

1723
01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:28,160
Speaker 19: maybe defensively or or offensively, they can you know, take

1724
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:31,840
Speaker 19: another step forward to get better with that, maybe change

1725
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 19: a few players or those what they have now gets

1726
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:39,080
Speaker 19: better next year and with that stuff. And as they say,

1727
01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:42,360
Speaker 19: it's the ball bounces in their way right better ways

1728
01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:43,519
Speaker 19: it could work out for.

1729
01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 2: Them, but they're a better team now. So that's a

1730
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:45,800
Speaker 2: good bag.

1731
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 19: And so it's good for looking to have his chance

1732
01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 19: to be the star that everybody hopes he would be.

1733
01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:55,679
Speaker 19: All their promises can come come true.

1734
01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:59,360
Speaker 3: Here's here's something on it too, before I before I

1735
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:03,160
Speaker 3: get Kevin's take on it, I'm fascinated to try to

1736
01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:06,320
Speaker 3: grasp or understand or gauge what the stout the star

1737
01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:09,960
Speaker 3: power of Luca can be like. In other words, I love,

1738
01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:13,439
Speaker 3: like I said, he's enraging whenever he's going up against

1739
01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:18,240
Speaker 3: your team, because he looks like he's dead, and he

1740
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:21,400
Speaker 3: looks like he's never gonna walk again, or he looks

1741
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:25,479
Speaker 3: like he's the cryingest baby you've ever seen, and then

1742
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:28,120
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, he's just draining threes and hitting

1743
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:31,840
Speaker 3: these old man step back jumpers and looking like an

1744
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:35,519
Speaker 3: incredibly less athletic Dirk, but he just gets it done.

1745
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 3: I wonder if that's a guy that if this team

1746
01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 3: gets into the finals, I wonder if it can become

1747
01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 3: another level of superstardom for him, because he's over in Dallas, right,

1748
01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:46,840
Speaker 3: I mean, let'ten Come on, man, the guy's a rock star.

1749
01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:48,840
Speaker 2: But can he do.

1750
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:53,639
Speaker 3: For his profile for the NBA what maybe a Steph

1751
01:32:53,760 --> 01:32:56,400
Speaker 3: Curry did? Could it be that level? Could he be

1752
01:32:56,520 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 3: that kind of star?

1753
01:32:57,240 --> 01:32:57,479
Speaker 4: All right?

1754
01:32:57,800 --> 01:32:59,439
Speaker 3: Kevin, what do you think? Do you look at the

1755
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:01,759
Speaker 3: Mavericks as a team that you think can win a title?

1756
01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:05,120
Speaker 3: I mean they could contend for I mean, they already

1757
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:07,439
Speaker 3: are obviously going to the and by the way, on that,

1758
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,040
Speaker 3: I love that, absolutely love what Ian said. He's like, hey,

1759
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:12,360
Speaker 3: they're in the Western Conference finals. Of course they can, right,

1760
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:13,800
Speaker 3: I mean, they have the ability to.

1761
01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:16,360
Speaker 6: But much like Ian said, I don't see them getting

1762
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:19,439
Speaker 6: past Denver or Minnesota. I saw them getting by the

1763
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 6: Clippers that first round series was not unexpected. I did

1764
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:25,799
Speaker 6: think the Oklahoma City thunder the would win this series.

1765
01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 6: So I was wrung before on this Dallas Mavericks team.

1766
01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:31,240
Speaker 6: But it just it doesn't seem like they are not

1767
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:33,920
Speaker 6: quite the level Denver is. Although PJ. Washington, if he

1768
01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 6: continues playing at this level, I certainly could change things there.

1769
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:41,120
Speaker 6: But I think Denver they're just too deep, but they're

1770
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:44,160
Speaker 6: too experience. They have that title that they won last year.

1771
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:47,360
Speaker 6: So I think all the momentums on their side, especially

1772
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:50,120
Speaker 6: if they can finish off Minnesota, finish off Minnesota on

1773
01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:53,280
Speaker 6: Sunday night, I think it's going to be their series

1774
01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:56,000
Speaker 6: to take personally. But that's why they play the games,

1775
01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:58,719
Speaker 6: isn't it is? You never know exactly what's going to happen,

1776
01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:01,400
Speaker 6: and I do believe regardless, So what does happen? The

1777
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 6: Western Conference again will be the NBA title winner this year.

1778
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:07,400
Speaker 6: I don't see Boston or New York beating any of

1779
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:08,800
Speaker 6: the remaining Western Conference teams.

1780
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:12,200
Speaker 2: That's just how I see it though. So it's funny.

1781
01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:16,719
Speaker 3: I wasn't someone when Kyrie was on the trade block

1782
01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:17,639
Speaker 3: because there was a lot.

1783
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 2: Of rumors at that time that the Lakers might be interested, and.

1784
01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:24,839
Speaker 3: Then there was what the reported bad blood because Lebron

1785
01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:28,200
Speaker 3: was mad that the Lakers allegedly didn't want to move

1786
01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:30,120
Speaker 3: on from one of their first round picks.

1787
01:34:30,479 --> 01:34:30,639
Speaker 17: Right.

1788
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 2: It's just it's funny.

1789
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:37,479
Speaker 3: It's funny looking back now because I can't help but

1790
01:34:37,640 --> 01:34:39,719
Speaker 3: wonder Homer moment.

1791
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:42,360
Speaker 2: Could Kyrie be doing this.

1792
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:47,000
Speaker 3: For another team like the Lakers, or is it so

1793
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 3: unique the way that this is set up in Dallas

1794
01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:53,400
Speaker 3: that it just worked perfectly for him. In other words,

1795
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:57,560
Speaker 3: we've seen him and Lebron win a title, right, but

1796
01:34:57,680 --> 01:35:00,080
Speaker 3: we've also seen it come report to.

1797
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:01,200
Speaker 5: A bad end.

1798
01:35:02,840 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 3: I have an ex wife. Every now and then I

1799
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:08,559
Speaker 3: kind of think about, you know, times weren't too bad,

1800
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:11,719
Speaker 3: we had some fun. Ah, maybe try to be friends

1801
01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:14,240
Speaker 3: with her again. And then after about a month I

1802
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 3: realized that I am a crazy person forever thinking that

1803
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:21,120
Speaker 3: would change. So there's this part of me to where,

1804
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:24,920
Speaker 3: instead of being bent and bitter that the Lakers didn't

1805
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:27,240
Speaker 3: go out and get Kyrie Irving to potentially push them

1806
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:30,200
Speaker 3: into this stratosphere that the Mavericks are in right now,

1807
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:33,760
Speaker 3: I can't help but wonder if Kyrie would have thrived

1808
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:38,519
Speaker 3: Throven Thriven thrived in Los Angeles with Lebron the way

1809
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:42,720
Speaker 3: that he has right now with Luca. And again, this

1810
01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 3: was one of his better scoring games tonight. He's a

1811
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:52,000
Speaker 3: guy that just doesn't wasn't their major point producer because

1812
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:52,559
Speaker 3: that was PJ.

1813
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 2: Washington as far as the one A to dirt R.

1814
01:35:58,280 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 2: Sorry Luca.

1815
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:02,720
Speaker 3: All right, here's postgame thoughts before we grab a break

1816
01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:04,519
Speaker 3: and move on start looking at Game seven and some

1817
01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:08,760
Speaker 3: football stuff. Jason Kidd afterwards talked about the challenges of

1818
01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:10,639
Speaker 3: winning a series.

1819
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:14,400
Speaker 21: It was not an easy series, but for us it was,

1820
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:17,400
Speaker 21: you know, a really good series in the sense of

1821
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:22,880
Speaker 21: staying together. I thought the trust was tested throughout the series.

1822
01:36:23,960 --> 01:36:27,840
Speaker 21: Game one, Game two, game three, you know, all six games.

1823
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 21: But I thought the maturity and trusts for the group

1824
01:36:32,240 --> 01:36:36,639
Speaker 21: was high, and different guys stepped up at different points

1825
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 21: in the series. Also, you know, in tonight's game.

1826
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 3: Jason Kidd, I mean, second conference final in three years.

1827
01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:51,360
Speaker 3: Can't argue with it. And they made some adjustments. They're

1828
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:53,640
Speaker 3: getting smoked in the first half. Kid talked about them.

1829
01:36:53,720 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 21: But we talked about just the turnovers. That was the

1830
01:36:57,320 --> 01:37:01,720
Speaker 21: first part. The second part was just the trust and

1831
01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:04,120
Speaker 21: that we had to get the We had to play faster.

1832
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:07,880
Speaker 21: We were not playing fast enough. Even if they scored.

1833
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:10,920
Speaker 21: We needed to take the ball out and not you know,

1834
01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:13,360
Speaker 21: look around and walk the ball up. And I thought

1835
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 21: to start the third I thought d Jones got us

1836
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 21: off to a great start and then we worked the game,

1837
01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:22,800
Speaker 21: you know, understanding that it wasn't we were going to

1838
01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:26,040
Speaker 21: you know, get those sixteen points and two shots. I

1839
01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:28,639
Speaker 21: thought the group stayed together, trusted each other.

1840
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:33,720
Speaker 3: They did them all the credit in the world. That is,

1841
01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:37,479
Speaker 3: it's a really good basketball team. And the move to

1842
01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:42,280
Speaker 3: bring in PJ. Washington was impressive. And here's what, here's

1843
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:44,759
Speaker 3: what kind of even caught my eye. Did the Thunder

1844
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:47,000
Speaker 3: not shoot the ball very well from three in this series?

1845
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:47,639
Speaker 4: Yeah? You bet?

1846
01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:49,679
Speaker 3: Okay, See, he came in as one of the best

1847
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:54,600
Speaker 3: three point shooting teams this season, and struggle struggle was

1848
01:37:54,680 --> 01:38:00,680
Speaker 3: it because of what Dallas was doing defensively. Maybe I'm

1849
01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:03,439
Speaker 3: not trying to disrespect it, but I'll say this much,

1850
01:38:05,200 --> 01:38:08,479
Speaker 3: Dallas's defense as a whole a little better than I

1851
01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:12,919
Speaker 3: expect him, a lot better. Gafford's a true rim protector,

1852
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:18,719
Speaker 3: lively is I mean, legit did play thirty minutes tonight,

1853
01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:22,000
Speaker 3: had a blog had.

1854
01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:23,639
Speaker 2: To steal they've got.

1855
01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:27,519
Speaker 3: You know, it's gonna be interesting to follow in the draft, right,

1856
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:29,600
Speaker 3: I mean, we were joking about our goa. We were

1857
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:32,800
Speaker 3: talking about Brownie James in the draft and Zach Edie,

1858
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:35,400
Speaker 3: I think is one of the more fascinating prospects that

1859
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:38,439
Speaker 3: we've seen in the NBA draft in a while. But

1860
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:40,960
Speaker 3: I watched this Dallas Mavericks team and I saw two

1861
01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:45,360
Speaker 3: guys at the rim that even though shake Gildess. Alexander

1862
01:38:45,439 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 3: is a freak, and his angles and his loft on

1863
01:38:48,520 --> 01:38:50,720
Speaker 3: his shots, it just wows.

1864
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:51,000
Speaker 2: Me every time.

1865
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:54,479
Speaker 3: But if you weren't the runner up for the MVP,

1866
01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:58,280
Speaker 3: those dudes were swatting you, you weren't getting a shot off,

1867
01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 3: or at least they were affecting it. And then I

1868
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:02,519
Speaker 3: saw a lot of the same thing. Even though he's

1869
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:06,560
Speaker 3: slighter than both of them. I thought chet Holmgren was

1870
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:09,680
Speaker 3: an impressive rim protector too. So I can't help but

1871
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:13,280
Speaker 3: wonder if teams see this and say, huh, maybe we

1872
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 3: should invest in a guy who can get and make

1873
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 3: a difference at the rim defensively. Maybe it wasn't as

1874
01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:23,200
Speaker 3: crazy as we thought for the Minnesota Timberwolves to give

1875
01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:25,240
Speaker 3: up what three first round picks and a couple pick

1876
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:29,200
Speaker 3: swaps to go get Rudy Gobert because that two headed

1877
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:33,559
Speaker 3: monster man. It gave the thunder fits, absolute fits inside.

1878
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:36,799
Speaker 3: And then it didn't hurt for Dallas at PJ. Washington

1879
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 3: suddenly looked like the franchise player everyone thought he was

1880
01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:41,519
Speaker 3: going to be whenever he was drafted in the top

1881
01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 3: fifteen of the draft. All right, So there you go.

1882
01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:46,200
Speaker 3: Anything else you want to add to it. Find me

1883
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:48,760
Speaker 3: on Twitter. I'm at Plank Show. That's at Plank Show.

1886
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:57,439
Speaker 3: nine ninety six six three sixty nine. Dallas moves on

1887
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:00,840
Speaker 3: to the Western Conference Finals for the second time in

1888
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:05,519
Speaker 3: three years, and I think I think Game one that

1889
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 3: series will be coming up on Wednesday, Wednesday for the

1890
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:12,080
Speaker 3: Western Conference Finals the Mavericks and the winner of Game

1891
01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 3: seven today between the Timberwolves and the Nuggets.

1892
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:16,880
Speaker 2: All right, when we come back to the Tirack dot

1893
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:17,720
Speaker 2: Com studios, I.

1894
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:19,800
Speaker 3: Know we're a little bit ahead of the chains here,

1895
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:20,960
Speaker 3: but I want to talk some football.

1896
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 2: I want to talk some NFL.

1897
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 3: There are two very interesting developing quarterback situations among two

1898
01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:31,360
Speaker 3: teams that I think we look at as contenders. We'll

1899
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:34,000
Speaker 3: dive into it next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

1900
01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:38,240
Speaker 3: All right, it's the Bernie Frado Show here on Fox

1901
01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:43,360
Speaker 3: Sports Radio. Surprise, Bernie's not here, but he will be

1902
01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:47,120
Speaker 3: back next week. That's at least my understanding. I am

1903
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:49,360
Speaker 3: not on of the books to fill in next week.

1904
01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:53,120
Speaker 3: Our buddy Scott Shapiro always gives me like a two

1905
01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:56,960
Speaker 3: week prep, so I can get my sleep right, which

1906
01:40:57,040 --> 01:40:59,960
Speaker 3: gets me to something that we need to bust everyone

1907
01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:06,599
Speaker 3: out on. And I think I'm as guilty as anyone. Guys, gals,

1908
01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:11,200
Speaker 3: people of the night. Why the hell are.

1909
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 2: Sporting events lasting three to four hours whenever they can

1910
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:15,760
Speaker 2: be done?

1911
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:17,840
Speaker 3: And again, I'm in no rush to leave. This is

1912
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:22,439
Speaker 3: what I'm worried about. I fell asleep. I was telling him.

1913
01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:25,080
Speaker 3: I waited until super late into the night to get

1914
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:28,479
Speaker 3: into this. I came home, had dinner with my family,

1915
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:34,920
Speaker 3: planned on watching the Thunder Mavericks game, and in true

1916
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:40,200
Speaker 3: old man fashion, and I fell asleep, fell asleep. I

1917
01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 3: mean literally, Hi, welcome to out the Mavericks and them

1918
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:48,880
Speaker 3: gone out crashed. It's tired, man. I'm not used to

1919
01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:54,080
Speaker 3: this overnight style. I'm not young like you people. So

1920
01:41:54,200 --> 01:42:00,920
Speaker 3: I fell asleep and I woke up with Luca hugging

1921
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:03,160
Speaker 3: I think it was Mark Cuban. I was like, well,

1922
01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:08,320
Speaker 3: I feel pretty refreshed right now, but I don't know

1923
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:11,240
Speaker 3: what happened in this game. So thankfully, with technology the

1924
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:15,599
Speaker 3: way that it is, I rewound the DVR and bro

1925
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:20,400
Speaker 3: I watched a full NBA game, and I don't know

1926
01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:22,800
Speaker 3: if this is something we need to be saying out loud.

1927
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:27,080
Speaker 2: But I watched it in literally an hour.

1928
01:42:28,320 --> 01:42:30,360
Speaker 3: Now, this wasn't I'm going to be very clear here,

1929
01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:36,479
Speaker 3: This wasn't fast forwarding beyond plays or anything that was

1930
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:38,120
Speaker 3: involving action.

1931
01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:41,400
Speaker 2: It was an hour long ian that was it.

1932
01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:45,920
Speaker 3: They're going to find out that we're wasting all this time,

1933
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:48,080
Speaker 3: and someone's gonna make us try to do more things

1934
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:50,559
Speaker 3: we don't want to do. We can't be stretching them

1935
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:53,880
Speaker 3: out as long as we are people. Yeah, one hour.

1936
01:42:54,160 --> 01:42:54,320
Speaker 5: Now.

1937
01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 3: The funny thing about all this is when I went

1938
01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:01,639
Speaker 3: back and watched it, there were moments. There were moments

1939
01:43:01,640 --> 01:43:03,200
Speaker 3: where I had to go back and just be like,

1940
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:04,360
Speaker 3: what do he say?

1941
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:05,400
Speaker 5: Or what was that?

1942
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:11,360
Speaker 3: But no halftime, right, no pregame obviously, no post game.

1943
01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:15,920
Speaker 3: One hour to why and feel good talking about it? Listen,

1944
01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:18,759
Speaker 3: I'm not somebody that just is at the box score.

1945
01:43:19,160 --> 01:43:23,160
Speaker 3: I take this stuff seriously. Maybe I shouldn't, but I do.

1946
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:25,519
Speaker 3: Ac Accuracy matters.

1947
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:29,720
Speaker 2: I like to be right. But they're gonna catch on

1948
01:43:29,840 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 2: to us.

1949
01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:30,320
Speaker 5: Man.

1950
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:32,000
Speaker 3: You know, I'm just warning you right out. We got

1951
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:34,559
Speaker 3: to quit dragging these things out too long. I mean,

1952
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:38,200
Speaker 3: does TV add that many commercials to this thing? Is

1953
01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:40,960
Speaker 3: that because I even waited through timeouts and it was

1954
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:45,599
Speaker 3: literally like an hour and eight minutes that I ended

1955
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 3: up spending watching the game. I look at the clock,

1956
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:51,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, listening to Aaron and Jason Martin right

1957
01:43:51,160 --> 01:43:54,280
Speaker 3: here on Fox Sports Radio, why don't we drag.

1958
01:43:54,200 --> 01:43:55,200
Speaker 2: These games out so long?

1959
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 17: Man?

1960
01:43:55,840 --> 01:43:57,400
Speaker 3: And what are they gonna find out and ruin all

1961
01:43:57,479 --> 01:44:01,320
Speaker 3: of our fun? That's my question tonight. If you don't

1962
01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:04,840
Speaker 3: have an answer, I'm not gonna worry about it.

1963
01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:07,200
Speaker 2: One hour how.

1964
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:09,439
Speaker 3: Long that game actually lasts? Was it seven o'clock, tip

1965
01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:11,680
Speaker 3: ten o'clock? Whenever it's done Central time? It's like a

1966
01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:16,200
Speaker 3: three hour game, right, So we're adding two hours of

1967
01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:20,560
Speaker 3: fluff in our in our NBA coverage? Is that what

1968
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:24,680
Speaker 3: we've There's more fluff than there is actual game. There

1969
01:44:24,760 --> 01:44:28,640
Speaker 3: is more debate at halftime, there's more commercial breaks than

1970
01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:32,160
Speaker 3: there are games. That what I'm learning here tonight, I

1971
01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 3: think it is, By the way, is this a whole

1972
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:36,679
Speaker 3: big nothing burger in your mind?

1973
01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:40,839
Speaker 2: And no, I mean it's it's like something.

1974
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:44,280
Speaker 15: NBA quarters are what twelve minutes of twelve minutes? Yeah,

1975
01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:47,600
Speaker 15: so twelve minutes times four, it's forty eight minutes. So

1976
01:44:47,800 --> 01:44:50,160
Speaker 15: the game itself should it should be less than an

1977
01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:52,599
Speaker 15: hour in theory. It's but you're right, it's all.

1978
01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:56,920
Speaker 3: The supporting and I'm watching through the some lays and

1979
01:44:56,920 --> 01:44:57,400
Speaker 3: all this stuff.

1980
01:44:57,400 --> 01:44:59,800
Speaker 2: It's just it's so.

1981
01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:05,280
Speaker 3: I cover a lot of college sports, and in college sports,

1982
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:08,840
Speaker 3: the TV networks are always trying to speed things up, right,

1983
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:12,240
Speaker 3: They're always trying to speed it up. College softball, which

1984
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 3: we've talked about, probably at a point where Ian Mark

1985
01:45:15,479 --> 01:45:16,760
Speaker 3: and Kevin are like, dude, we get it.

1986
01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:18,280
Speaker 2: There was a long game. Let's go.

1987
01:45:19,040 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 3: But college softball implemented what they call an action clock

1988
01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:25,559
Speaker 3: this year to speed up an already fast game. We've

1989
01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:27,679
Speaker 3: seen it with college baseball, We've seen it with Major

1990
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:29,840
Speaker 3: League Baseball. Right, it's like, hey, we got to go.

1991
01:45:30,760 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 2: Let's go.

1992
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:35,679
Speaker 3: College football this year is going to have a myriad

1993
01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:40,240
Speaker 3: of rules aim at speeding up the game. Now, don't

1994
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:42,360
Speaker 3: I don't know how the two minute warning is going

1995
01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:46,360
Speaker 3: to fit into that, but they've got a laundry list

1996
01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:51,160
Speaker 3: of rules. And it started last year with a clock

1997
01:45:51,320 --> 01:45:53,679
Speaker 3: not stopping until the final two minutes of a half

1998
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:57,120
Speaker 3: in the game. But yet, for some reason, with all

1999
01:45:57,200 --> 01:46:01,519
Speaker 3: of these needs and wants from TV networks, to speed

2000
01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:04,599
Speaker 3: things up. When it comes to the NBA and when

2001
01:46:04,640 --> 01:46:06,760
Speaker 3: it comes to even college basketball, I'd say, no, no, no,

2002
01:46:07,280 --> 01:46:09,200
Speaker 3: let's give them another time out and then we can

2003
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:10,360
Speaker 3: take that time out with him.

2004
01:46:10,600 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 2: Why don't we do that now?

2005
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:13,920
Speaker 3: No, No, let's let's let's go back to the studio

2006
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 3: and get a little bit more perspective from Stephen A.

2007
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:20,599
Speaker 2: Smith or ale Charles Barkley.

2008
01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:20,880
Speaker 5: Right.

2009
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:24,599
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just there's so much bluff man. Part

2010
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:26,000
Speaker 3: of this too is my research, and I know we

2011
01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:27,080
Speaker 3: got to get an update.

2012
01:46:28,360 --> 01:46:28,920
Speaker 2: Every year.

2013
01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:31,360
Speaker 3: I feel like this is around the time that I

2014
01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:34,280
Speaker 3: get a chance to do the Overnight Show. But it

2015
01:46:34,800 --> 01:46:37,680
Speaker 3: seems like Bernie times that vacation after the draft, and

2016
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:40,560
Speaker 3: I've been was out last week and I got a

2017
01:46:40,640 --> 01:46:42,240
Speaker 3: chance to fill in on Tuesday. So I feel like

2018
01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:45,360
Speaker 3: we can. If you're listening at this time of night,

2019
01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:48,559
Speaker 3: you nerd out on things like this. Why, Because we're

2020
01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:50,719
Speaker 3: sports fans. We're not just trying to stay awake.

2021
01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:54,599
Speaker 2: We live this. We love it. So I have been

2022
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:58,200
Speaker 2: trying to figure out why every year.

2023
01:46:58,560 --> 01:47:04,360
Speaker 3: The constant take is Stanley Cup playoffs deliver a more exciting,

2024
01:47:04,760 --> 01:47:09,599
Speaker 3: a more competitive product. But yet even with not as

2025
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:12,320
Speaker 3: great of games. The NBA is still crushing it in

2026
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:17,120
Speaker 3: the ratings. Make your games longer, NHL stretch it out.

2027
01:47:17,160 --> 01:47:20,840
Speaker 3: I guess I don't know, but I'm trying to What

2028
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:23,599
Speaker 3: is it? What is it about the NBA that it's

2029
01:47:23,680 --> 01:47:28,479
Speaker 3: constantly running laps around the NHL, But yet the NHL

2030
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:32,200
Speaker 3: seems to have a better product Right now, talk amongst

2031
01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:34,880
Speaker 3: yourselves on that one. All right, the gig is up.

2032
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:40,240
Speaker 3: We're stretching these things out too long, But I don't

2033
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:42,720
Speaker 3: really necessarily know if I want to change that. When

2034
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 3: we come back to the Tirack dot Com studios, let's

2035
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 3: dive in on some NFL talk. There are two major

2036
01:47:48,240 --> 01:47:53,720
Speaker 3: quarterback situations involving potential playoff contenders that need to be resolved.

2037
01:47:54,320 --> 01:47:55,679
Speaker 2: Could it end in a holdout?

2038
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:57,599
Speaker 3: We'll dive into that coming up in a bit, but first,

2039

Speaker 3: Kevin Wire's got you caught up on everything that happened in.

Speaker 3: I fall asleep if the lights turn off, which is

2121
01:52:04,439 --> 01:52:06,400
Speaker 3: why I'm afraid to turn off the overhead lights here

01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:07,120
Speaker 3: in the studio.

2123
01:52:07,240 --> 01:52:09,800

Speaker 3: about there's no more fun when the lights go out

2129

01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:28,599
Speaker 3: light turns off. And he falls asleep and you can

2131

Speaker 3: wants to try to get under the skin of Oklahoma

2143
01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:15,360
Speaker 3: City thunder fans. The at FK Oklahoma City Twitter handle

2144
01:53:16,479 --> 01:53:19,760
Speaker 3: has the picture that says Clay Bennett stole my sonics

2145
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:23,600
Speaker 3: and then his Twitter handle or his name outside of

2146
01:53:23,640 --> 01:53:28,200
Speaker 3: his handle is feasting on the tears of okac kool

2147
01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:34,560
Speaker 3: aid drinkers since two thousand and eight. Bro, there's not

2148
01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:36,800
Speaker 3: like this army of thunder fans out there. I mean,

2149
01:53:36,840 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 3: there's a good group of Oklahoma City based people, but

2150
01:53:39,240 --> 01:53:41,200
Speaker 3: you're not having to fight a lot outside of the

2151
01:53:41,600 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 3: state borders.

2152
01:53:42,439 --> 01:53:45,840
Speaker 2: I mean, what even mean? And at what point?

2153
01:53:45,880 --> 01:53:48,920
Speaker 3: All right, here's a question, at what point, Seattle, do

2154
01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:52,559
Speaker 3: you have to let it go? She left you, she's

2155
01:53:52,640 --> 01:53:57,880
Speaker 3: not coming back. Sorry, she found something that was better

2156
01:53:57,960 --> 01:54:02,160
Speaker 3: for her. You might have had a great relationship, the

2157
01:54:02,320 --> 01:54:05,120
Speaker 3: kids might have been thriving at one point under you,

2158
01:54:06,160 --> 01:54:09,080
Speaker 3: but you lost it, let yourself go a little bit,

2159
01:54:10,160 --> 01:54:12,840
Speaker 3: put on a few pounds. All of a sudden, the

2160
01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:17,360
Speaker 3: pretty girl found someone else, had some pockets, had some cash,

2161
01:54:17,920 --> 01:54:20,519
Speaker 3: had a passionate fan base, and oh, it just happened

2162
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:23,920
Speaker 3: to hit right at the same time that one of

2163
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:27,360
Speaker 3: the coolest young cores in college in the NBA came

2164
01:54:27,439 --> 01:54:31,800
Speaker 3: together at the time in drant Westbrook and Horden. I

2165
01:54:31,840 --> 01:54:35,640
Speaker 3: think there's a point where and again, you're really crushing

2166
01:54:35,680 --> 01:54:39,520
Speaker 3: it right now because you've been on Twitter for nine

2167
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:41,960
Speaker 3: years and you have fourteen followers, so the movement is

2168
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:48,200
Speaker 3: gaining traction. But I think there's this point where I

2169
01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:51,880
Speaker 3: think most of Seattle fans have let it go. I

2170
01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:55,320
Speaker 3: think it'd be cool if they just became thunder fans. Unacceptable.

2171
01:54:55,560 --> 01:55:01,920
Speaker 3: I know that, I get it, but it's not It's

2172
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:06,240
Speaker 3: not anyone in Oklahoma City's fault. It's not thunder fans fault.

2173
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:08,880
Speaker 3: I mean, hell, they were the Sonics when they came round,

2174
01:55:08,880 --> 01:55:11,000
Speaker 3: they weren't even damn thunder. Thunder wasn't even a thing.

2175
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:15,640
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City, it's wild. You talk about butterfly effect, and

2176
01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:17,640
Speaker 3: I know we got to break. I feel like I'm saying,

2177
01:55:17,760 --> 01:55:19,720
Speaker 3: I know we got to break a lot tonight. We're

2178
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:21,880
Speaker 3: getting we're getting deep in the weeds here in.

2179
01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:22,560
Speaker 2: This late hour.

2180
01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:27,839
Speaker 3: But I mean, you talk about butterfly effects, Hurricane Katrina

2181
01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:32,560
Speaker 3: actually led to Oklahoma City, proving it can be an

2182
01:55:32,640 --> 01:55:36,839
Speaker 3: NBA town. That's when the Hornets moved here for a season.

2183
01:55:36,920 --> 01:55:38,640
Speaker 3: It was wild, it was a good year, it was fun.

2184
01:55:39,200 --> 01:55:43,320
Speaker 3: They got a great following. But once the damages were

2185
01:55:43,640 --> 01:55:46,720
Speaker 3: repaired from Katrina and the Pelicans are I don't even

2186
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:50,560
Speaker 3: know where they with even the Pelicans then, but they

2187
01:55:50,640 --> 01:55:53,800
Speaker 3: had an opportunity to come here and playing, Okay, see,

2188
01:55:53,880 --> 01:55:57,280
Speaker 3: proved they could get it done. Yeah, I think it's

2189
01:55:57,320 --> 01:56:00,280
Speaker 3: time to let it go. Man, time to let go.

2190
01:56:01,200 --> 01:56:05,040
Speaker 3: You're gonna get an NBA franchise at some point. But no,

2191
01:56:05,240 --> 01:56:08,360
Speaker 3: not coming back. She's not coming back. She's over you,

2192
01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:10,960
Speaker 3: all right. When we come back, we'll get your calls.

01:56:48,280 --> 01:56:48,840
Speaker 18: Not too bad.

2211
01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:51,960
Speaker 7: So I'm an Iowa Saint fan, so I hate Oklahoma,

2212
01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:53,560
Speaker 7: but I love you, love your podcast.

2213
01:56:53,960 --> 01:56:54,200
Speaker 2: Thanks.

2214
01:56:54,360 --> 01:56:55,400
Speaker 18: I just hate the.

2215
01:56:55,400 --> 01:56:56,400
Speaker 5: Players in the uniform.

2216
01:56:57,080 --> 01:56:57,200
Speaker 4: Now.

2217
01:56:57,240 --> 01:56:59,880
Speaker 7: I'm a Sonics fan in Iowa, and I think the

2218
01:57:00,040 --> 01:57:02,760
Speaker 7: reason Sonics fant hat Oklahoma is for how.

2219
01:57:02,720 --> 01:57:04,840
Speaker 5: We left Okay, go ahead, our team. I'm here.

2220
01:57:04,920 --> 01:57:07,240
Speaker 7: Our team was terrible, but we feel like it was stolen.

2221
01:57:09,400 --> 01:57:13,200
Speaker 7: That's just my personal opinion. That said, though, of the

2222
01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:17,480
Speaker 7: guys that left Oklahoma from the start of Oklahoma. Who

2223
01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:21,080
Speaker 7: do you think is more likely to return Between Durant, Westbrook,

2224
01:57:21,480 --> 01:57:24,800
Speaker 7: Paul George, you know, any former guys might come back home.

2225
01:57:25,120 --> 01:57:25,960
Speaker 7: Give any take on that?

2226
01:57:26,480 --> 01:57:28,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, it's interesting that you say that

2227
01:57:28,880 --> 01:57:32,240
Speaker 3: because the Durant hype had kind of built up a bit.

2228
01:57:33,760 --> 01:57:35,360
Speaker 3: There seems to be a lot of people that are

2229
01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:38,160
Speaker 3: pointing Durant towards Orlando. But I think Phoenix is going

2230
01:57:38,240 --> 01:57:40,400
Speaker 3: to try to keep him around. I don't think Westbrook's

2231
01:57:40,400 --> 01:57:43,000
Speaker 3: have been any any more of Shane, And as far

2232
01:57:43,040 --> 01:57:46,560
Speaker 3: as Paul George, I don't think he's coming back. I

2233
01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:50,280
Speaker 3: think they're going to try to land mobilely or just

2234
01:57:50,440 --> 01:57:52,960
Speaker 3: continue to bring in young guys and develop them. I mean,

2235
01:57:53,080 --> 01:57:55,240
Speaker 3: i'd love to see him though, go get another star

2236
01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:56,880
Speaker 3: with Shay. That'd be pretty cool.

2237
01:57:57,640 --> 01:57:59,640
Speaker 7: Are there any of those guys you personally would like

2238
01:57:59,680 --> 01:58:01,080
Speaker 7: to see finish as.

2239
01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:04,280
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant under Kevin Durant, See, I kind.

2240
01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:05,680
Speaker 7: Of would love to see if we get a team

2241
01:58:05,760 --> 01:58:10,400
Speaker 7: back before he hangs it up and yep, one more time,

2242
01:58:11,160 --> 01:58:14,360
Speaker 7: that'd be cool. Shane, I mean, it's it's already started.

2243
01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:16,680
Speaker 7: I'd like to see him in there, But you know

2244
01:58:16,760 --> 01:58:17,800
Speaker 7: that might be a pipe dream.

2245
01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:20,440
Speaker 3: So Shane, you know what I am officially, we need

2246
01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:23,680
Speaker 3: to talk because I'm officially and that Oklahoma's leaving the

2247
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:25,640
Speaker 3: Big Twelve. I do a lot of things in the

2248
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:27,440
Speaker 3: Big Twelve. I think I want to become a full

2249
01:58:27,480 --> 01:58:30,400
Speaker 3: time Iowa State fan. Like I got a couple buddies

2250
01:58:30,440 --> 01:58:34,400
Speaker 3: that coach there. I love Ames. I'm thinking about I'm

2251
01:58:34,440 --> 01:58:36,480
Speaker 3: thinking about moving on to being an Iowa State fan.

2252
01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:39,400
Speaker 2: Now is my Big Twelve tide. But I mean, does

2253
01:58:39,480 --> 01:58:41,640
Speaker 2: it just snow every day there? I mean, how are you?

2254
01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:42,720
Speaker 2: I mean, what's going on?

2255
01:58:44,320 --> 01:58:44,520
Speaker 5: Yeah?

2256
01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:45,520
Speaker 7: God doesn't love us.

2257
01:58:45,760 --> 01:58:46,920
Speaker 5: That pretty much the problem.

2258
01:58:48,040 --> 01:58:50,560
Speaker 7: If I can be honest, I don't know. Didn't brock

2259
01:58:50,600 --> 01:58:52,800
Speaker 7: Porty almost so? Football of you? You were telling me

2260
01:58:52,880 --> 01:58:53,240
Speaker 7: one time?

2261
01:58:54,400 --> 01:58:58,320
Speaker 3: Okay, listen, I was on the sidelines and it was

2262
01:58:58,360 --> 01:59:01,160
Speaker 3: the Big Twelve championship game and he was running out

2263
01:59:01,200 --> 01:59:04,880
Speaker 3: of bounds on a play and when he did, we

2264
01:59:05,840 --> 01:59:09,520
Speaker 3: we collided. Now, everyone started booing and I thought it

2265
01:59:09,640 --> 01:59:12,080
Speaker 3: was my fault, but then I realized that he had

2266
01:59:12,120 --> 01:59:14,720
Speaker 3: been pushed late by defender and there was no flag,

2267
01:59:14,840 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 3: so we just we had a little collision. I'm not

2268
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:19,879
Speaker 3: gonna say that he had to get checked by trainers

2269
01:59:19,920 --> 01:59:23,320
Speaker 3: for a potential concussion afterwards, but Shane, maybe he did.

2270
01:59:23,440 --> 01:59:25,360
Speaker 2: But that's it. That's the that's the extent of the

2271
01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:27,840
Speaker 2: beef I have with brock perty.

2272
01:59:28,520 --> 01:59:31,040
Speaker 7: I understand, well, thanks for letting me, brother, You've got

2273
01:59:31,080 --> 01:59:33,320
Speaker 7: some other people to get to, so I appreciate your time.

2274
01:59:34,160 --> 01:59:36,960
Speaker 3: I decided to start talking Iowa State cyclone athletics and

2275
01:59:37,040 --> 01:59:41,200
Speaker 3: it kind of imploded everything. So if you're who knows

2276
01:59:41,240 --> 01:59:45,040
Speaker 3: where this thing is gonna go, Dennison, Vermont, butch in Germany,

2277
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:46,920
Speaker 3: hang in there. I want to make sure you guys

2278
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:51,000
Speaker 3: have plenty of time. It's been weird because I sat

2279
01:59:51,040 --> 01:59:52,720
Speaker 3: down for the show tonight and I wrote down a

2280
01:59:52,880 --> 01:59:56,400
Speaker 3: lot of football to get to and we haven't been

2281
01:59:56,440 --> 01:59:59,840
Speaker 3: able to yet. There's been reaction to the NBA playoffs,

2282
02:00:00,280 --> 02:00:02,960
Speaker 3: a lot on the end of the thunder game, a

2283
02:00:03,040 --> 02:00:05,080
Speaker 3: lot on Dallas. You know, we've been debating whether or

2284
02:00:05,080 --> 02:00:06,760
Speaker 3: not the Mavericks or a team that we look at

2285
02:00:06,880 --> 02:00:10,160
Speaker 3: and say, by God, they can win a title. I mean,

2286
02:00:10,160 --> 02:00:11,720
Speaker 3: they're one of the final four. He In brought up

2287
02:00:11,720 --> 02:00:14,000
Speaker 3: a great point. He's like, listen, they're the Western Conference finals,

2288
02:00:14,040 --> 02:00:16,760
Speaker 3: and I know we're looking back and that was Portland

2289
02:00:16,920 --> 02:00:19,920
Speaker 3: like three years ago. But still they've got a shot.

2290
02:00:20,120 --> 02:00:24,160
Speaker 3: So I am I am here for the Dallas Mavericks

2291
02:00:24,200 --> 02:00:28,560
Speaker 3: and Luca this new Kyrie smart moves of the deadline.

2292
02:00:29,160 --> 02:00:33,760
Speaker 3: But will whoever takes Game seven tonight, will that end

2293
02:00:33,880 --> 02:00:35,840
Speaker 3: up being a team that just has too much talent

2294
02:00:35,920 --> 02:00:39,240

2297
02:00:48,160 --> 02:00:54,240
Speaker 3: that's been the story, which basically should magnify something that

2298
02:00:54,440 --> 02:00:57,440
Speaker 3: usually is the biggest story out of golf event that

2299
02:00:57,560 --> 02:00:58,680

2327
02:02:15,240 --> 02:02:18,280
Speaker 5: overnight stuff, it's like morning time for me. But I

2328
02:02:18,360 --> 02:02:20,360
Speaker 5: do listen to you. I do listen to your show

2329
02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:23,200
Speaker 5: all regularly. I think you're doing a great job today.

2330
02:02:24,080 --> 02:02:27,080
Speaker 5: I'm pretty much every day of the place in pert Yeah,

2331
02:02:27,760 --> 02:02:32,160
Speaker 5: but I was you hit all like three things if

2332
02:02:32,200 --> 02:02:36,320
Speaker 5: you give me just a cop to be quick. First

2333
02:02:36,360 --> 02:02:39,920
Speaker 5: of all, last night I fell asleep on the couch

2334
02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:43,360
Speaker 5: after I put the kids to bed, and I was

2335
02:02:43,400 --> 02:02:49,080
Speaker 5: watching a replay of the Cowboys and RAMS playoff game

2336
02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:52,960
Speaker 5: from like twenty eighteen or a year that ramsom for

2337
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:58,560
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl, and uh, I woke up and oh

2338
02:02:58,640 --> 02:03:00,920
Speaker 5: my god, what time is it? And I realized it

2339
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:05,040
Speaker 5: was really late? So I did what you did if

2340
02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:08,840
Speaker 5: after every play, I like hit the ten second button

2341
02:03:08,960 --> 02:03:12,040
Speaker 5: like three times. I watched the I watched that entire

2342
02:03:12,200 --> 02:03:15,760
Speaker 5: playoff game barely over an hour because I just cut

2343
02:03:15,800 --> 02:03:19,160
Speaker 5: out all the commercials. I cut all the time in between,

2344
02:03:19,760 --> 02:03:22,800
Speaker 5: you know. So yeah, it's like, it's crazy the amount

2345
02:03:22,840 --> 02:03:25,280
Speaker 5: of time that, especially now the NFL is like adding

2346
02:03:25,320 --> 02:03:28,320
Speaker 5: all these commercials. And the next thing for you said,

2347
02:03:28,320 --> 02:03:31,440
Speaker 5: you did it with basketball. I don't watch basketball, but

2348
02:03:31,560 --> 02:03:34,520
Speaker 5: I pay attention to, you know, the talk Radiers shows

2349
02:03:34,560 --> 02:03:38,440
Speaker 5: and the and the standings. But it seems like the

2350
02:03:38,560 --> 02:03:40,480
Speaker 5: last two minutes of that basketball game was like the

2351
02:03:40,720 --> 02:03:43,840
Speaker 5: entire time of like a whole quarter. Like it's it's

2352
02:03:43,960 --> 02:03:47,440
Speaker 5: crazy that all the timeouts and all that stuff. But

2353
02:03:47,520 --> 02:03:50,120
Speaker 5: when you can, you can do like you did, and yeah,

2354
02:03:51,040 --> 02:03:53,320
Speaker 5: you know, record it and just just just power through.

2355
02:03:53,800 --> 02:03:56,200
Speaker 3: I almost think that we're onto something here. I mean

2356
02:03:56,280 --> 02:03:59,160
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, but I think we're onto

2357
02:03:59,240 --> 02:04:00,800
Speaker 3: something here. I think this might be the way to

2358
02:04:00,840 --> 02:04:02,480
Speaker 3: watch sporting events from here too.

2359
02:04:02,560 --> 02:04:02,760
Speaker 20: Four.

2360
02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:05,120
Speaker 3: Just go to bed, stay out Twitter, you don't fight

2361
02:04:05,200 --> 02:04:07,920
Speaker 3: with anyone, and then wake up when it's over, and

2362
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:08,760
Speaker 3: then go watch it.

2363
02:04:08,920 --> 02:04:10,680
Speaker 2: We can fast forward past all the bs.

2364
02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:14,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, kid, like I said, especially with me, I mean,

2365
02:04:15,320 --> 02:04:19,080
Speaker 5: I pay attention to the stuff you guys talked about

2366
02:04:19,160 --> 02:04:22,200
Speaker 5: and the standings. The only team I care about in

2367
02:04:22,240 --> 02:04:26,240
Speaker 5: the NBA is the Golden State Warriors because I'm from California.

2368
02:04:27,160 --> 02:04:27,600
Speaker 17: But uh.

2369
02:04:29,240 --> 02:04:32,160
Speaker 5: Again, I don't I don't watch it, but I'll watch.

2370
02:04:32,240 --> 02:04:34,360
Speaker 5: I'll just watch the highlights real quick because that's really

2371
02:04:34,400 --> 02:04:37,640
Speaker 5: all I need for the the NBA. But I'm really

2372
02:04:37,720 --> 02:04:40,760
Speaker 5: happy for hockey. I wish I was a Canadian team.

2373
02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:44,040
Speaker 5: We'll get to the finals eventually. Haven't won a Cup

2374
02:04:44,120 --> 02:04:47,920
Speaker 5: since like ninety three. Man, I'm in Germany, so it's, uh,

2375
02:04:48,800 --> 02:04:50,520
Speaker 5: you know, there's not a lot there's there's not a

2376
02:04:50,600 --> 02:04:52,840
Speaker 5: lot of options. I don't have like yeah, I mean

2377
02:04:52,840 --> 02:04:55,080
Speaker 5: I have apps, but I don't have like I don't

2378
02:04:55,120 --> 02:05:01,160
Speaker 5: have like Live, ABC, CBS, NBC. So uh yeah, going

2379
02:05:01,240 --> 02:05:03,440
Speaker 5: from there anyway, I want. I think you did a

2380
02:05:03,480 --> 02:05:03,920
Speaker 5: great job.

2381
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:05,840
Speaker 2: Hey, can I ask you a question before you bail

2382
02:05:05,880 --> 02:05:06,160
Speaker 2: on us?

2383
02:05:06,360 --> 02:05:08,480
Speaker 3: I feel like, I don't get an opportunity every day

2384
02:05:08,520 --> 02:05:11,000
Speaker 3: to talk to someone that lives in Germany. I'm just

2385
02:05:11,120 --> 02:05:14,080
Speaker 3: I'm going to be honest with you. So I'm curious.

2386
02:05:14,960 --> 02:05:17,600
Speaker 3: Is there as much buzz for the NFL as the

2387
02:05:17,720 --> 02:05:20,000
Speaker 3: NFL likes to make you want to believe there is

2388
02:05:20,520 --> 02:05:21,080
Speaker 3: in Germany?

2389
02:05:21,480 --> 02:05:23,000
Speaker 20: Oh? Oh my god?

2390
02:05:23,240 --> 02:05:23,520
Speaker 2: Really?

2391
02:05:23,840 --> 02:05:24,040
Speaker 5: Yes?

2392
02:05:24,520 --> 02:05:24,880
Speaker 2: Okay?

2393
02:05:25,160 --> 02:05:28,280
Speaker 5: That uh all right? That first that first game in

2394
02:05:28,400 --> 02:05:33,120
Speaker 5: Munich was a last year. The year before it was

2395
02:05:33,440 --> 02:05:35,800
Speaker 5: it was it was on my birthday, was November thirteenth.

2396
02:05:36,760 --> 02:05:42,200
Speaker 5: Maybe too much information, any uh, my wife, so we

2397
02:05:42,360 --> 02:05:45,240
Speaker 5: lived about it's like a five hour where we lived

2398
02:05:45,240 --> 02:05:47,200
Speaker 5: in Germany, it's like a five hour drive to muse

2399
02:05:47,800 --> 02:05:50,360
Speaker 5: So my wife, my wife says, hey, this this this

2400
02:05:52,320 --> 02:05:53,160
Speaker 5: you love the NFL.

2401
02:05:53,400 --> 02:05:53,840
Speaker 4: I love it.

2402
02:05:54,200 --> 02:05:57,440
Speaker 5: It's the Niners. I haven't have so much Niners craf

2403
02:05:57,600 --> 02:06:01,520
Speaker 5: of my house is ridiculous. But anyway, I'm understanding forever.

2404
02:06:02,800 --> 02:06:06,040
Speaker 5: I'm born in nineteen sixty five and I lived in

2405
02:06:06,120 --> 02:06:08,280
Speaker 5: the Bay Area, so it's between the Raiders and the

2406
02:06:08,400 --> 02:06:11,640
Speaker 5: Niners and so it was nice. But anyway, that game

2407
02:06:11,720 --> 02:06:17,040
Speaker 5: in Munich, my wife says, hey, what do you think

2408
02:06:17,080 --> 02:06:21,440
Speaker 5: about this for a birthday present? Holy crack. The tickets.

2409
02:06:21,600 --> 02:06:26,680
Speaker 5: The tickets sold out in like ten minutes, and there

2410
02:06:26,720 --> 02:06:30,000
Speaker 5: were two hundred thousand or something like that more requests

2411
02:06:30,040 --> 02:06:38,240
Speaker 5: for tickets. It's crazy. Yeah, it's it really is. My

2412
02:06:38,320 --> 02:06:41,080
Speaker 5: wife's from My wife's from England. So a couple of

2413
02:06:41,160 --> 02:06:43,200
Speaker 5: years ago we tried to do the London game, but

2414
02:06:43,320 --> 02:06:46,840
Speaker 5: the same thing happened. They sell out, so they sell

2415
02:06:46,880 --> 02:06:49,120
Speaker 5: out so fast. So basically the Munich thing. The reason

2416
02:06:49,200 --> 02:06:51,160
Speaker 5: why I said, thinking to my wife but no, was

2417
02:06:52,120 --> 02:06:55,480
Speaker 5: I have two I have seven year old twins. So

2418
02:06:56,240 --> 02:07:00,640
Speaker 5: the four tickets, the tickets were like two fifty three

2419
02:07:01,000 --> 02:07:03,640
Speaker 5: dollars each or something like that, and then it was

2420
02:07:03,840 --> 02:07:05,200
Speaker 5: going to have to do a day or a night

2421
02:07:05,320 --> 02:07:07,800
Speaker 5: or two in a hotel in Munich, plus the drive,

2422
02:07:07,880 --> 02:07:10,240
Speaker 5: plus all the food. It was going to come out

2423
02:07:10,280 --> 02:07:13,200
Speaker 5: to like it was. We did the numbers, it was

2424
02:07:13,200 --> 02:07:15,280
Speaker 5: going to come out to like three or four grand. Yes,

2425
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:21,280
Speaker 5: and then it was yeah, oh yeah, yeah, these games okay, yeah,

2426
02:07:21,280 --> 02:07:24,000
Speaker 5: it's crazy. It's it's it's insane. So the SA go

2427
02:07:24,120 --> 02:07:25,000
Speaker 5: up there gone.

2428
02:07:25,640 --> 02:07:28,200
Speaker 2: I appreciate phone call. All right, man, I dug for

2429
02:07:28,280 --> 02:07:28,919
Speaker 2: more information.

2430
02:07:29,040 --> 02:07:29,480
Speaker 5: I got it.

2431
02:07:29,720 --> 02:07:34,520
Speaker 2: Appreciate it. I'm not anti overseas games. I'm not not

2432
02:07:34,640 --> 02:07:39,200
Speaker 2: Anti games in London, Germany? Where are we going new

2433
02:07:39,280 --> 02:07:41,400
Speaker 2: this year? My boy? We went to Mexico City.

2434
02:07:41,560 --> 02:07:44,080
Speaker 3: We listened to me like, I'm with the NFL, oh Brazil,

2435
02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:48,440
Speaker 3: not Anti, and I'm about growing the game. I just

2436
02:07:48,680 --> 02:07:52,040
Speaker 3: I'm always curious. I've been trying to come up with

2437
02:07:52,080 --> 02:07:57,440
Speaker 3: analogies all night long. I always feel like I'm wanted somewhere. Hey,

2438
02:07:57,560 --> 02:08:03,200
Speaker 3: because I'm probably there's some narciss there, but I I

2439
02:08:03,320 --> 02:08:05,720
Speaker 3: will kind of barge in on a family situation and

2440
02:08:05,800 --> 02:08:08,440
Speaker 3: I can't help. But wonder if I'm the last thing

2441
02:08:08,520 --> 02:08:11,320
Speaker 3: they want to see. So I can't help, But wonder

2442
02:08:11,360 --> 02:08:15,240
Speaker 3: if that's the case with the NFL. Are are they

2443
02:08:15,320 --> 02:08:17,839
Speaker 3: the people that feel like they're wanted and they're invited?

2444
02:08:17,920 --> 02:08:21,520
Speaker 3: Meanwhile they're sitting around with their arms crossed, going, Okay,

2445
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:26,800
Speaker 3: this is not my jam. According to Butch, no, absolutely not,

2446
02:08:27,960 --> 02:08:32,960
Speaker 3: because selling out in a heartbeat, you have, I mean

2447
02:08:33,400 --> 02:08:35,840
Speaker 3: three hundred dollars a ticket, and that's crazy, but it's

2448
02:08:35,840 --> 02:08:36,320
Speaker 3: sold out.

2449
02:08:37,480 --> 02:08:38,839
Speaker 2: NFL's out a bunch of dummies.

2450
02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:39,040
Speaker 5: Man.

2451
02:08:39,400 --> 02:08:41,880
Speaker 3: You can get mad about certain things that happen with

2452
02:08:41,960 --> 02:08:44,600
Speaker 3: your team, but as far as a business is concerned,

2453
02:08:45,160 --> 02:08:45,720
Speaker 3: they're sharp.

2454
02:08:46,840 --> 02:08:47,560
Speaker 2: I don't view.

2455
02:08:49,040 --> 02:08:52,120
Speaker 3: I don't view the overseas the game's overseas, the Germany,

2456
02:08:52,240 --> 02:08:54,000
Speaker 3: the England's things, and that I don't view them as

2457
02:08:54,080 --> 02:08:56,360
Speaker 3: like the future. I think it's always going to be

2458
02:08:56,400 --> 02:08:59,120
Speaker 3: a really cool kind of caveat to the regular season.

2459
02:09:00,440 --> 02:09:01,600
Speaker 2: Are we going to Vermont here?

2460
02:09:01,680 --> 02:09:01,880
Speaker 17: Ian?

2461
02:09:02,160 --> 02:09:03,280
Speaker 2: Is Dennis still hanging out with us?

2462
02:09:03,360 --> 02:09:03,560
Speaker 4: Or did he?

2463
02:09:03,640 --> 02:09:04,480
Speaker 2: Bennis is still here?

2464
02:09:04,560 --> 02:09:04,960
Speaker 1: All right?

2465
02:09:05,120 --> 02:09:05,520
Speaker 2: What's up?

2466
02:09:05,560 --> 02:09:08,920
Speaker 3: Let's go to Vermont, home of Arnie Spaniard. Dennis is

2467
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:10,040
Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio.

2468
02:09:10,040 --> 02:09:10,920
Speaker 2: What's going on? Dennis?

2469
02:09:11,760 --> 02:09:12,000
Speaker 17: Hey?

2470
02:09:12,200 --> 02:09:16,080
Speaker 2: I know, Chris, I'll stay good at thanks.

2471
02:09:16,760 --> 02:09:17,560
Speaker 16: I want I want to.

2472
02:09:17,560 --> 02:09:20,040
Speaker 17: Bring up a few things if you don't mind, Yeah,

2473
02:09:20,080 --> 02:09:25,320
Speaker 17: go ahead, your time. Uh. The first thing, I love

2474
02:09:25,440 --> 02:09:30,640
Speaker 17: your analogy with the Sonics in Oklahoma City. I love

2475
02:09:30,720 --> 02:09:36,200
Speaker 17: that time to let go like she doesn't she's not

2476
02:09:36,400 --> 02:09:43,640
Speaker 17: there anymore. I love that. That was a really powerful analogy.

2477
02:09:43,760 --> 02:09:46,440
Speaker 17: It's for me for different reasons.

2478
02:09:46,560 --> 02:09:48,720
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no, does this in now? I'm

2479
02:09:48,720 --> 02:09:50,800
Speaker 3: not bringing up old wounds here, bro. I mean, we've

2480
02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:52,760
Speaker 3: all been done before. But I'm not trying. I'm not

2481
02:09:52,840 --> 02:09:53,160
Speaker 3: trying to.

2482
02:09:53,560 --> 02:09:58,560
Speaker 16: Okay, you're good though, No, no, yeah, actually it was

2483
02:09:58,800 --> 02:09:59,680
Speaker 16: very inspiring.

2484
02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:03,440
Speaker 2: Actually, well, let's want here to inspire tonight. Let's go.

2485
02:10:03,720 --> 02:10:08,320
Speaker 17: Yeah, you did, you inspired me. Uh But what I wanted,

2486
02:10:08,560 --> 02:10:12,560
Speaker 17: what I wanted to really talk about, Uh well, first

2487
02:10:12,600 --> 02:10:14,560
Speaker 17: of all, the Pacers are going to beat the Knicks.

2488
02:10:14,800 --> 02:10:17,400
Speaker 17: If they don't, I'm going to be really man, I'm

2489
02:10:17,480 --> 02:10:21,560
Speaker 17: a Sixers fan, so I hate the Knicks. So Heriams

2490
02:10:22,400 --> 02:10:26,520
Speaker 17: the Pacers have to win tomorrow. But anyway, what I

2491
02:10:26,600 --> 02:10:30,120
Speaker 17: want to talk about, if you don't mind, is the

2492
02:10:30,320 --> 02:10:36,240
Speaker 17: Harrison Bucker thing. I'm kind of you know, I feel

2493
02:10:36,360 --> 02:10:41,200
Speaker 17: like he sold he used his own agenda to kind

2494
02:10:41,240 --> 02:10:46,920
Speaker 17: of steal what was really What was it really about

2495
02:10:47,320 --> 02:10:52,480
Speaker 17: was these people had worked hard, and they graduated college,

2496
02:10:52,680 --> 02:10:55,080
Speaker 17: and they worked hard, and you know, I mean there's

2497
02:10:55,080 --> 02:10:59,480
Speaker 17: a lot of sacrifice in going through and graduating school.

2498
02:11:00,280 --> 02:11:03,680
Speaker 17: And I feel like he kind of stole their day

2499
02:11:04,360 --> 02:11:07,280
Speaker 17: with his own agenda. And I'm not trying to bring

2500
02:11:07,400 --> 02:11:10,560
Speaker 17: up anything political or anything like that, but I think

2501
02:11:10,720 --> 02:11:16,400
Speaker 17: he did. He kind of used their day. And I

2502
02:11:16,440 --> 02:11:18,680
Speaker 17: don't know, I don't know how you feel about that,

2503
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:20,760
Speaker 17: but it really bothered me.

2504
02:11:21,040 --> 02:11:23,720
Speaker 2: I think, huh, Okay, I appreciate your phone call.

2505
02:11:24,320 --> 02:11:24,520
Speaker 5: Dude.

2506
02:11:24,520 --> 02:11:27,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you something. I'm not here to judge.

2507
02:11:28,400 --> 02:11:31,160
Speaker 3: I kind of think my man was hammered, and through

2508
02:11:31,360 --> 02:11:35,640
Speaker 3: his hammeredness, I think he made a decent point. I'm

2509
02:11:35,680 --> 02:11:38,560
Speaker 3: gonna tell you something. I would not be that composed

2510
02:11:38,680 --> 02:11:41,640
Speaker 3: if I had been drinking and I was on the

2511
02:11:41,680 --> 02:11:43,720
Speaker 3: air or imbibing in some way, shape or form.

2512
02:11:43,920 --> 02:11:44,960
Speaker 2: Glad we could inspire you.

2513
02:11:45,080 --> 02:11:45,280
Speaker 24: Brother.

2514
02:11:46,360 --> 02:11:46,960
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.

2515
02:11:48,480 --> 02:11:50,600
Speaker 3: Who he was talking to were a lot of people

2516
02:11:50,760 --> 02:11:54,320
Speaker 3: that at least we thought felt well out of the

2517
02:11:54,360 --> 02:11:55,640
Speaker 3: same way that Harrison Bucker did.

2518
02:11:55,720 --> 02:11:58,080
Speaker 2: I don't did. I'm gonna tell you something, guys.

2519
02:11:58,280 --> 02:12:04,760
Speaker 3: I maybe maybe my man Butch in Germany and and

2520
02:12:04,840 --> 02:12:08,480
Speaker 3: my guy Dennis and Vermont that you guys got me

2521
02:12:08,560 --> 02:12:11,920
Speaker 3: in my fields a little bit here. But it's funny

2522
02:12:11,960 --> 02:12:14,320
Speaker 3: because my wife last night, we got a big fight.

2523
02:12:14,800 --> 02:12:18,120
Speaker 3: You got a big fight last night because I needed

2524
02:12:18,160 --> 02:12:20,560
Speaker 3: to sleep. I was very it's overnight show. I just

2525
02:12:20,640 --> 02:12:22,880
Speaker 3: I don't need much rest, but rest just a bit.

2526
02:12:23,960 --> 02:12:27,760
Speaker 3: And they got umploded. Well because I have kids, and

2527
02:12:27,880 --> 02:12:31,360
Speaker 3: kids kind of suck. And when my wife came home,

2528
02:12:31,640 --> 02:12:33,920
Speaker 3: she was like, and you wouldn't even stand up for me.

2529
02:12:34,840 --> 02:12:38,400
Speaker 3: When I was fighting with ex family member on Facebook

2530
02:12:38,600 --> 02:12:39,920
Speaker 3: over the Harrison Bucker.

2531
02:12:39,680 --> 02:12:43,200
Speaker 2: Comments, I was like, what I don't know what you're

2532
02:12:43,240 --> 02:12:48,040
Speaker 2: talking about, because number one, I don't do the Book

2533
02:12:48,080 --> 02:12:49,440
Speaker 2: of Faces. I don't do Facebook.

2534
02:12:50,760 --> 02:12:52,320
Speaker 3: But you want to have some fun with a story

2535
02:12:52,360 --> 02:12:54,600
Speaker 3: that's going out of control, go spend some time on

2536
02:12:54,760 --> 02:12:58,040
Speaker 3: Facebook and get into a conversation about Harrison Bucker. Now,

2537
02:12:58,240 --> 02:13:01,880
Speaker 3: to be clear, my wife was very supportive. That's something

2538
02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:05,080
Speaker 3: she believes in, and that's fine. We live a life

2539
02:13:05,160 --> 02:13:08,640
Speaker 3: to where I support my family. Hence me being on

2540
02:13:08,720 --> 02:13:10,840
Speaker 3: the air at four thirteen am trying to get to

2541
02:13:10,960 --> 02:13:15,560
Speaker 3: some NFL talk. But and everyone has their own way

2542
02:13:15,560 --> 02:13:18,560
Speaker 3: of looking at life, and that's fine as long as

2543
02:13:18,600 --> 02:13:23,200
Speaker 3: you're not murdering or as long as you're not imploding society.

2544
02:13:23,200 --> 02:13:25,520
Speaker 3: I think we're going to be okay. But I like

2545
02:13:25,640 --> 02:13:30,720
Speaker 3: the idea that Dennis and Vermont brought up about he

2546
02:13:30,800 --> 02:13:32,800
Speaker 3: went after it with his own agenda. You know, I

2547
02:13:32,920 --> 02:13:37,240
Speaker 3: have always wanted to be a graduate speaker. I've always

2548
02:13:37,320 --> 02:13:40,480
Speaker 3: wanted for my alma mater, like the University of Tulsa

2549
02:13:40,560 --> 02:13:44,280
Speaker 3: to call me, said Chris Blank, when heed you to

2550
02:13:44,320 --> 02:13:46,800
Speaker 3: speak at graduation this year, I'd.

2551
02:13:46,640 --> 02:13:48,080
Speaker 2: Be ready to go. I'm like, let's go.

2552
02:13:50,040 --> 02:13:56,440
Speaker 3: And the previous caller, my man, Dennis and Vermont got

2553
02:13:56,520 --> 02:13:59,640
Speaker 3: me thinking about just going up there with my own agenda, right,

2554
02:14:00,200 --> 02:14:02,920
Speaker 3: just going In other words, Harrison, Butker goes up with

2555
02:14:02,960 --> 02:14:07,760
Speaker 3: the idea that he is going to absolutely destroy Pride Month.

2556
02:14:07,840 --> 02:14:10,440
Speaker 3: People don't know if you caught that in that. But

2557
02:14:10,760 --> 02:14:14,680
Speaker 3: also talk about the role of a of a female

2558
02:14:15,520 --> 02:14:20,320
Speaker 3: in life. I think, I think if I ever get asked,

2559
02:14:20,360 --> 02:14:22,000
Speaker 3: I'm going to go up there with the idea that

2560
02:14:23,360 --> 02:14:27,160
Speaker 3: if the Raiders just would have committed a quarterback friendly

2561
02:14:27,280 --> 02:14:31,600
Speaker 3: coach to JaMarcus Russell, everything could have been different. You

2562
02:14:31,720 --> 02:14:33,760
Speaker 3: went with a twelve year old and Lane Kiffin and

2563
02:14:33,920 --> 02:14:37,800
Speaker 3: imploded everything I say to you, graduates, the class of

2564
02:14:37,880 --> 02:14:38,760
Speaker 3: twenty twenty.

2565
02:14:38,720 --> 02:14:41,640
Speaker 2: What are we at four? You need to go forth

2566
02:14:41,680 --> 02:14:42,600
Speaker 2: with the idea that.

2567
02:14:44,560 --> 02:14:48,080
Speaker 3: Even if you take JaMarcus Russell, you can develop him

2568
02:14:48,120 --> 02:14:50,680
Speaker 3: if you get the right quarterback coach and head coach

2569
02:14:50,760 --> 02:14:51,080
Speaker 3: in there.

2570
02:14:52,160 --> 02:14:55,600
Speaker 2: I still to this day stand on this hill. You

2571
02:14:55,840 --> 02:14:58,560
Speaker 2: can make what you want out of a court. I

2572
02:14:58,600 --> 02:14:59,000
Speaker 2: would take it.

2573
02:14:59,040 --> 02:15:01,640
Speaker 3: Probably wouldn't get as much buzz is Harrison, but curse

2574
02:15:01,680 --> 02:15:04,600
Speaker 3: comments did, but you did. You did give me thinking

2575
02:15:04,680 --> 02:15:07,800
Speaker 3: if I ever get that opportunity to speak at a

2576
02:15:07,880 --> 02:15:10,120
Speaker 3: graduate Sarah, I'm just gonna go my own way, do

2577
02:15:10,240 --> 02:15:13,200
Speaker 3: my own thing. I'm gonna go with my agenda, and

2578
02:15:13,320 --> 02:15:15,880
Speaker 3: that's how we're gonna be. I hold on, I'm not

2579
02:15:15,960 --> 02:15:19,600
Speaker 3: telling you. I fight back against those who say, don't

2580
02:15:19,640 --> 02:15:22,760
Speaker 3: take a quarterback early in a fantasy draft. I say,

2581
02:15:22,920 --> 02:15:28,240
Speaker 3: get your quarterback and you'll feel better about it. Wide

2582
02:15:28,320 --> 02:15:33,480
Speaker 3: receivers are more apt to implode you with an injury.

2583
02:15:35,880 --> 02:15:37,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if it would work, but I do

2584
02:15:37,760 --> 02:15:39,920
Speaker 3: like the idea. Guys, I don't know how it takes

2585
02:15:39,960 --> 02:15:42,160
Speaker 3: about this. I'm sorry, I don't even I don't even

2586
02:15:42,200 --> 02:15:44,360
Speaker 3: feel a certain way. He spoke at a Christian college.

2587
02:15:45,800 --> 02:15:48,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I I don't understand the outrage over it.

2588
02:15:49,680 --> 02:15:51,840
Speaker 2: Was he talking? Did he come to your front door

2589
02:15:51,920 --> 02:15:56,280
Speaker 2: and ma'am, ma'am, you are being stripped of your right

2590
02:15:56,360 --> 02:15:56,960
Speaker 2: of being a mother?

2591
02:15:57,120 --> 02:16:01,720
Speaker 3: No, you just you chose to consume it. Bob sterm

2592
02:16:01,800 --> 02:16:06,120
Speaker 3: is one of my favorite radio guys and my buddy

2593
02:16:06,200 --> 02:16:08,240
Speaker 3: Jimmy Poplin and I and Tulsa. You can hear him

2594
02:16:08,320 --> 02:16:10,880
Speaker 3: on our affiliate, the Bullets and Tulsa. We would listen

2595
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:13,800
Speaker 3: to Bob and Dan a lot, and he's great on

2596
02:16:13,840 --> 02:16:15,600
Speaker 3: the hard line on the ticket with Corby the rock

2597
02:16:15,640 --> 02:16:19,040
Speaker 3: Stars and Bob. One time, Papa and I were listening

2598
02:16:19,120 --> 02:16:20,960
Speaker 3: together and we were laughing because he said, I don't

2599
02:16:21,040 --> 02:16:24,080
Speaker 3: understand how certain stories become a story, like out of nowhere,

2600
02:16:24,760 --> 02:16:26,920
Speaker 3: this becomes the biggest thing we're going to talk about

2601
02:16:27,000 --> 02:16:29,360
Speaker 3: and the biggest thing in sports, and it makes no sense.

2602
02:16:30,640 --> 02:16:34,280
Speaker 2: This is one of those for me, I don't understand it.

2603
02:16:34,400 --> 02:16:36,200
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I don't get it at all.

2604
02:16:37,320 --> 02:16:40,160
Speaker 2: It's like you're really you can be outraged by that.

2605
02:16:41,360 --> 02:16:43,960
Speaker 3: Okay, or you're gonna feel like you need to go

2606
02:16:44,080 --> 02:16:48,240
Speaker 3: over the top and support that. Fine, whatever, I just

2607
02:16:48,560 --> 02:16:50,480
Speaker 3: it's one of those stories that it doesn't make a

2608
02:16:50,520 --> 02:16:51,960
Speaker 3: lot of sense to me why it's a big deal.

2609
02:16:53,440 --> 02:16:56,800
Speaker 3: But it's wild how passionate people are about it on

2610
02:16:57,120 --> 02:17:00,960
Speaker 3: both sides of it. While you can't tell me what

2611
02:17:01,160 --> 02:17:04,320
Speaker 3: I can be Okay, Well, he doesn't run anything. He's

2612
02:17:04,320 --> 02:17:08,360
Speaker 3: speaking out a graduation, so he's not keeping you from

2613
02:17:08,440 --> 02:17:09,160
Speaker 3: doing anything.

2614
02:17:10,440 --> 02:17:11,640
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, you tell him.

2615
02:17:11,680 --> 02:17:15,040
Speaker 3: Well, I mean he's speaking at a Christian graduation, so

2616
02:17:15,120 --> 02:17:18,600
Speaker 3: he's telling people that probably are rather like minded like him.

2617
02:17:19,160 --> 02:17:22,640
Speaker 3: Once again, that's what makes this country great.

2618
02:17:24,720 --> 02:17:25,320
Speaker 2: But who am I?

2619
02:17:26,280 --> 02:17:28,960
Speaker 3: I just want to make sure that when the Raiders

2620
02:17:29,040 --> 02:17:32,360
Speaker 3: commit themselves to drafting a quarterback in the future. They

2621
02:17:32,440 --> 02:17:35,080
Speaker 3: commit themselves to bringing a coach in that can help

2622
02:17:35,600 --> 02:17:41,120
Speaker 3: make that a reality. I don't even the idea to

2623
02:17:41,440 --> 02:17:47,440
Speaker 3: craft JaMarcus Russell into an NFL quarterback was to hire

2624
02:17:47,600 --> 02:17:52,320
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin. I love Lane Kiffin now. Lane Kiffin when

2625
02:17:52,440 --> 02:17:56,560
Speaker 3: was eighteen years ago. Now he's like twelve years old.

2626
02:17:57,920 --> 02:18:00,120
Speaker 3: All right, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight

2627
02:18:00,200 --> 02:18:02,400
Speaker 3: seven seven nine ninety six, six three sixty nine. When

2628
02:18:02,440 --> 02:18:04,840
Speaker 3: we come back here it's the Bernie Fratto Show. I'm

2629
02:18:04,879 --> 02:18:09,160
Speaker 3: Chris Blank sitting in when we come back. I nerd

2630
02:18:09,240 --> 02:18:12,320
Speaker 3: it out on the schedule. And because I spent thirty

2631
02:18:12,400 --> 02:18:15,800
Speaker 3: minutes calling audio for this and putting it together, you

2632
02:18:15,959 --> 02:18:18,120
Speaker 3: have to listen to it with me. And there's three

2633
02:18:18,280 --> 02:18:21,360
Speaker 3: very interesting things that came out of this, including the

2634
02:18:21,520 --> 02:18:25,000
Speaker 3: NFL admitting a potential mistake involving the Ravens schedule. We'll

2635
02:18:25,040 --> 02:18:28,760
Speaker 3: dive into it next on Fox Sports Radio. All right,

2636
02:18:30,320 --> 02:18:33,240
Speaker 3: there is one topic that I wanted to get to.

2637
02:18:34,240 --> 02:18:36,000
Speaker 3: We're gonna run out of time. We're not gonna have

2638
02:18:36,080 --> 02:18:37,360
Speaker 3: time to get to it, so I want to go

2639
02:18:37,440 --> 02:18:41,240
Speaker 3: around the horn here, everybody, final, final, final time.

2640
02:18:41,280 --> 02:18:42,320
Speaker 2: I'm asking for it.

2641
02:18:42,400 --> 02:18:45,920
Speaker 3: Here tonight, Bernie Fratto's show coming to you live from

2642
02:18:45,959 --> 02:18:47,600
Speaker 3: the tiraq dot com studios.

2643
02:18:47,600 --> 02:18:50,760
Speaker 2: Bernie's out. My name is Chris Plankin sitting in. The

2644
02:18:50,800 --> 02:18:51,440
Speaker 2: whole crew is.

2645
02:18:51,440 --> 02:18:56,560
Speaker 3: Here though, Ian Roddy, Mark Kevin. So here's my little

2646
02:18:56,879 --> 02:19:00,840
Speaker 3: spiel in Ian Mark. I don't know if Mark carries

2647
02:19:00,840 --> 02:19:02,879
Speaker 3: about golf. Hell, Kevin, I don't know if you care

2648
02:19:02,879 --> 02:19:05,160
Speaker 3: about golf either, but I feel like we all care

2649
02:19:05,200 --> 02:19:08,760
Speaker 3: about Tiger Woods. So in the midst of the Scottie

2650
02:19:08,800 --> 02:19:13,879
Speaker 3: Scheffler stuff, one story that got lost was that Tiger

2651
02:19:13,959 --> 02:19:17,680
Speaker 3: Woods missed the cut and he was not well.

2652
02:19:17,720 --> 02:19:18,480
Speaker 2: He wasn't close.

2653
02:19:18,560 --> 02:19:21,160
Speaker 3: In fact, he missed the cut by eight strokes, finished

2654
02:19:21,360 --> 02:19:24,280
Speaker 3: seven under, seven over, excuse me, seven under. We'd be

2655
02:19:24,360 --> 02:19:29,000
Speaker 3: having a completely different conversation right now. But Woods afterwards

2656
02:19:29,200 --> 02:19:33,520
Speaker 3: talked about the need to play more. But as somebody

2657
02:19:33,560 --> 02:19:37,160
Speaker 3: who is a hopeless romantic, that be me that Tiger

2658
02:19:37,200 --> 02:19:40,200
Speaker 3: Woods still has another major in him, maybe even a

2659
02:19:40,240 --> 02:19:44,320
Speaker 3: couple more tournament wins. I'm starting to get this bad feeling.

2660
02:19:45,160 --> 02:19:48,360
Speaker 3: And by the way, for all the kids out there,

2661
02:19:48,520 --> 02:19:52,080
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan as a wizard doesn't fitness category because my

2662
02:19:52,160 --> 02:19:54,840
Speaker 3: man's still averaging like twenty and played in every single game.

2663
02:19:55,480 --> 02:19:57,480
Speaker 3: So for this, none of us are old enough to

2664
02:19:57,560 --> 02:20:00,200
Speaker 3: have seen Willie Mays play with the Mets. But let's

2665
02:20:00,240 --> 02:20:04,039
Speaker 3: just pretend like we did. But are we seeing Willie

2666
02:20:04,080 --> 02:20:05,120
Speaker 3: may Is in a Mets uniform?

2667
02:20:05,200 --> 02:20:05,320
Speaker 17: Oh?

2668
02:20:05,360 --> 02:20:08,039
Speaker 3: I got a good one for maybe a little bit

2669
02:20:08,080 --> 02:20:11,120
Speaker 3: of the older and part of the new generation. Emmitt

2670
02:20:11,240 --> 02:20:15,680
Speaker 3: Smith and a Cardinal uniform see Joe Namath. Arcuse me,

2671
02:20:15,800 --> 02:20:18,480
Speaker 3: Joe Montana. The Chief's uniform doesn't work because things went

2672
02:20:18,560 --> 02:20:21,880
Speaker 3: so well for him. Derek Carr in a Saints uniform?

2673
02:20:22,600 --> 02:20:24,400
Speaker 5: Like, what is this.

2674
02:20:26,640 --> 02:20:27,320
Speaker 2: Now with Tiger?

2675
02:20:27,560 --> 02:20:27,720
Speaker 6: Is it?

2676
02:20:28,280 --> 02:20:30,720
Speaker 2: Is it bordering on ceremonial t shot?

2677
02:20:30,800 --> 02:20:31,000
Speaker 4: Guy?

2678
02:20:31,840 --> 02:20:36,200
Speaker 3: Is there still something left in the tank? I saw

2679
02:20:36,240 --> 02:20:38,440
Speaker 3: it described like this from Gulf Digest, and I wrote

2680
02:20:38,480 --> 02:20:44,280
Speaker 3: it down. Not definitely done or not definitively done, but

2681
02:20:44,520 --> 02:20:46,000
Speaker 3: not definitively back.

2682
02:20:47,040 --> 02:20:50,480
Speaker 2: He needs to play more, but his body won't let him.

2683
02:20:52,040 --> 02:20:55,920
Speaker 3: So I ask you, Ian, Roddy, is it time to

2684
02:20:56,080 --> 02:20:58,800
Speaker 3: let go of the Tiger dream that I should have

2685
02:20:58,920 --> 02:21:03,320
Speaker 3: let go of many moons ago? Or when you say

2686
02:21:03,440 --> 02:21:07,280
Speaker 3: things like listen, he's not definitively done, he's not back,

2687
02:21:09,080 --> 02:21:12,240
Speaker 3: But then you also kind of caveat it with oh, yeah,

2688
02:21:12,280 --> 02:21:14,040
Speaker 3: by the way, he needs to play more, but his

2689
02:21:14,160 --> 02:21:16,760
Speaker 3: body won't let him. That seems to be pretty damning

2690
02:21:16,800 --> 02:21:17,600
Speaker 3: evidence right there.

2691
02:21:18,360 --> 02:21:21,600
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think it'd be easier to let go if

2692
02:21:21,680 --> 02:21:24,880
Speaker 15: there was some up and coming star that kind of

2693
02:21:24,959 --> 02:21:27,280
Speaker 15: could replace him. And you know, some people like to

2694
02:21:27,320 --> 02:21:30,800
Speaker 15: say Scheffler, but there've always been these guys who sort

2695
02:21:30,840 --> 02:21:32,680
Speaker 15: of come and go as is the best golfer in

2696
02:21:32,720 --> 02:21:34,480
Speaker 15: the world, whereas Tiger was the one who kind of

2697
02:21:34,560 --> 02:21:36,440
Speaker 15: consistently was that for so.

2698
02:21:36,640 --> 02:21:41,280
Speaker 6: Long, transcended the game, the kids say, right exactly. So

2699
02:21:41,920 --> 02:21:44,720
Speaker 6: the fact that there's no one on the horizon. Yeah,

2700
02:21:44,920 --> 02:21:47,320
Speaker 6: with most sports at least like when Brady retire, we

2701
02:21:47,320 --> 02:21:49,160
Speaker 6: at least have Mahomes on the horizon, you know, and.

2702
02:21:50,920 --> 02:21:53,840
Speaker 3: Then when mahomes retires, we have Aid and O'Connell's horizon,

2703
02:21:53,920 --> 02:21:56,720
Speaker 3: right exactly. Yeah, yeah, the truth, hey O'Connell.

2704
02:21:56,920 --> 02:22:02,800
Speaker 15: But the point is, I I understand not wanting to

2705
02:22:03,040 --> 02:22:05,080
Speaker 15: let go of the dream with Tiger, and and it

2706
02:22:05,280 --> 02:22:07,800
Speaker 15: being the sport of golf, you don't really have to

2707
02:22:07,959 --> 02:22:11,400
Speaker 15: yet because it's a sport you can play really as

2708
02:22:11,440 --> 02:22:13,600
Speaker 15: long as you want to, right, and maybe not at

2709
02:22:13,640 --> 02:22:16,640
Speaker 15: the highest level, and and it kind of pains me

2710
02:22:16,720 --> 02:22:18,520
Speaker 15: to say it because even I grew up, I grew

2711
02:22:18,640 --> 02:22:20,199
Speaker 15: up watching Tiger Woods be great.

2712
02:22:20,920 --> 02:22:22,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's ever going to get back

2713
02:22:22,440 --> 02:22:22,600
Speaker 2: to that.

2714
02:22:22,680 --> 02:22:25,320
Speaker 15: And that's not some hot take, but to me, I

2715
02:22:26,200 --> 02:22:28,320
Speaker 15: I guess, yes, it's time to let go of the

2716
02:22:28,440 --> 02:22:31,000
Speaker 15: dream that he can win another major and go back

2717
02:22:31,040 --> 02:22:33,160
Speaker 15: to what he was. But I don't think we necessarily

2718
02:22:33,240 --> 02:22:35,840
Speaker 15: have to say goodbye to Tiger forever. I like having

2719
02:22:35,920 --> 02:22:38,040
Speaker 15: him as a staple of the of the sports. Sure,

2720
02:22:38,080 --> 02:22:40,680
Speaker 15: I just don't know about these stories. Every time there's

2721
02:22:40,680 --> 02:22:42,959
Speaker 15: a major just centering around him, it is how he's

2722
02:22:43,000 --> 02:22:45,920
Speaker 15: gonna do it again, because that's.

2723
02:22:47,840 --> 02:22:48,920
Speaker 2: Right exactly.

2724
02:22:49,040 --> 02:22:51,280
Speaker 15: It's that that Masters thing was special, and I just

2725
02:22:51,320 --> 02:22:53,320
Speaker 15: don't know if it's something that can be replicated, especially

2726
02:22:53,360 --> 02:22:54,280
Speaker 15: after his car accident.

2727
02:22:54,600 --> 02:22:58,280
Speaker 3: Six hundred and eighty three weeks. It's the number one

2728
02:22:58,320 --> 02:23:02,600
Speaker 3: golfer in the world. No one's even close. Fifteen majors insane.

2729
02:23:03,160 --> 02:23:06,840
Speaker 3: I mean, when you say I don't think he'll ever

2730
02:23:06,920 --> 02:23:10,080
Speaker 3: get back to that, no one's expecting that. I'm with

2731
02:23:10,240 --> 02:23:13,160
Speaker 3: you on that, But I just I don't want it

2732
02:23:13,240 --> 02:23:17,000
Speaker 3: to seem like is it politically incorrect to say a

2733
02:23:17,120 --> 02:23:20,800
Speaker 3: charity case where it's like, oh, here here comes Tiger.

2734
02:23:21,720 --> 02:23:25,800
Speaker 3: This week was very unique because you're not going to

2735
02:23:25,840 --> 02:23:29,080
Speaker 3: have a tragedy and then the chaos in the zoo

2736
02:23:29,160 --> 02:23:31,880
Speaker 3: that was Friday morning and into our show Friday night

2737
02:23:32,280 --> 02:23:33,120
Speaker 3: was Scotti Scheffler.

2738
02:23:33,160 --> 02:23:37,520
Speaker 2: I mean, guys, that was the whole day. The whole day. Yeah, Kevin,

2739
02:23:37,560 --> 02:23:39,480
Speaker 2: I'll ask you, do I need to let go of this?

2740
02:23:39,920 --> 02:23:42,480
Speaker 2: Is it over? Is it ov er over?

2741
02:23:42,560 --> 02:23:45,400
Speaker 3: As Arnie likes to say, or should I keep pulling

2742
02:23:45,440 --> 02:23:47,600
Speaker 3: out hope that there's another run in the major?

2743
02:23:48,120 --> 02:23:51,000
Speaker 6: I personally believe the car accident did it for him.

2744
02:23:51,360 --> 02:23:54,519
Speaker 6: He had won the Masters, was a twenty nineteen after

2745
02:23:54,879 --> 02:23:57,200
Speaker 6: what a decade since his last major or so, and

2746
02:23:57,280 --> 02:23:59,600
Speaker 6: then the car wreck and then the car accident happens

2747
02:23:59,640 --> 02:24:02,000
Speaker 6: so right before then. Of course, when he won that Masters,

2748
02:24:02,040 --> 02:24:04,640
Speaker 6: he thought, Okay, maybe he's got a couple left in

2749
02:24:04,720 --> 02:24:08,320
Speaker 6: the tank. He's a little older, but it seems like

2750
02:24:08,640 --> 02:24:11,280
Speaker 6: he's gotten himself back on track. Won the Masters, and

2751
02:24:11,560 --> 02:24:15,080
Speaker 6: even if he is who he was as a golfer

2752
02:24:15,120 --> 02:24:18,160
Speaker 6: in his prime, he could win a tournament or two.

2753
02:24:18,200 --> 02:24:20,080
Speaker 6: But then that car accident happened, and I mean he

2754
02:24:20,160 --> 02:24:23,920
Speaker 6: got injured very very severely in that, and I'm impressed

2755
02:24:23,920 --> 02:24:27,560
Speaker 6: he's even on the golf course at walking again after

2756
02:24:28,160 --> 02:24:31,120
Speaker 6: what was reportedly a very severe car crash that he

2757
02:24:31,240 --> 02:24:33,760
Speaker 6: was in. So I think the fact that he's out there,

2758
02:24:33,959 --> 02:24:36,119
Speaker 6: I celebrate the fact that he's out there just because

2759
02:24:36,160 --> 02:24:38,240
Speaker 6: of what he survived. But I don't look at it

2760
02:24:38,400 --> 02:24:43,640
Speaker 6: as something in which he is a serious contender really

2761
02:24:43,720 --> 02:24:45,720
Speaker 6: in any of these majors anymore. I think it's just

2762
02:24:45,959 --> 02:24:47,680
Speaker 6: he's out there proving to himself that he can at

2763
02:24:47,760 --> 02:24:50,400
Speaker 6: least still play, even if he isn't really making the

2764
02:24:50,440 --> 02:24:52,720
Speaker 6: cut anymore. He is still at least playing among the

2765
02:24:52,800 --> 02:24:55,039
Speaker 6: ranks of professional golfers, and I think that's why he's

2766
02:24:55,080 --> 02:24:57,840
Speaker 6: out there as much as anything. I don't think it's

2767
02:24:57,920 --> 02:25:01,720
Speaker 6: like a John Daily situation, where he's there straight up

2768
02:25:01,800 --> 02:25:04,200
Speaker 6: to make a spectacle out of himself and nothing else.

2769
02:25:04,400 --> 02:25:04,560
Speaker 24: Now.

2770
02:25:04,640 --> 02:25:05,840
Speaker 2: I love that you don't see.

2771
02:25:05,680 --> 02:25:08,240
Speaker 3: Him riding the golf cart around slugging cores, lights and

2772
02:25:08,280 --> 02:25:09,000
Speaker 3: burning heaters.

2773
02:25:09,160 --> 02:25:11,680
Speaker 6: No, I don't think Tiger Woods will ever do that.

2774
02:25:11,920 --> 02:25:17,680
Speaker 6: I think I'd be all for that, though I would too. Yeah, Mark,

2775
02:25:17,720 --> 02:25:19,920
Speaker 6: you got to take on this. I always tread like

2776
02:25:20,000 --> 02:25:21,840
Speaker 6: I don't know if Mark is into a take that

2777
02:25:21,959 --> 02:25:24,080
Speaker 6: I have, or if he's just done with me because

2778
02:25:24,320 --> 02:25:27,400
Speaker 6: he's ready to clock out. No, no, no, stop it anyway.

2779
02:25:28,800 --> 02:25:31,600
Speaker 6: Big fan of Tiger, big fan of golf. I think

2780
02:25:31,840 --> 02:25:35,800
Speaker 6: it's uh. His body won't let him anymore. He has

2781
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:38,440
Speaker 6: is in his mind to do it, but his body

2782
02:25:38,680 --> 02:25:42,560
Speaker 6: won't let him. So let go of the dream until

2783
02:25:42,920 --> 02:25:46,360
Speaker 6: he can put together a couple of matches where he

2784
02:25:46,480 --> 02:25:49,720
Speaker 6: does very well and he leads up to something. But

2785
02:25:49,959 --> 02:25:53,880
Speaker 6: the official dream is gone. We just have to allow

2786
02:25:54,000 --> 02:25:56,440
Speaker 6: him to be the staple of golf and just to

2787
02:25:56,600 --> 02:26:00,280
Speaker 6: be there. Don't expect too much, just be had that

2788
02:26:00,360 --> 02:26:02,959
Speaker 6: he can show up, that he can play, and if

2789
02:26:03,000 --> 02:26:06,280
Speaker 6: he makes a cut, great. If he doesn't, that's because

2790
02:26:06,320 --> 02:26:10,280
Speaker 6: his body won't allow him to get any better anymore.

2791
02:26:10,720 --> 02:26:12,880
Speaker 6: That the dream part is gone.

2792
02:26:13,959 --> 02:26:16,480
Speaker 3: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

2793
02:26:16,600 --> 02:26:18,600
Speaker 3: nine ninety six six three sixty nine. When we come

2794
02:26:18,680 --> 02:26:22,800
Speaker 3: back to tyrack dot Com Studios scheduling talk, we're going

2795
02:26:22,920 --> 02:26:23,520
Speaker 3: in the weeds.

2796
02:26:23,600 --> 02:26:25,359
Speaker 2: But first for one final time.

2797

Speaker 6: final seconds to give Dallas that one point victor and

02:26:50,640 --> 02:26:54,040

02:27:37,360 --> 02:27:41,160

2821
02:27:41,200 --> 02:27:43,080
Speaker 6: a Game seven, beating the Connucks five to one, so

2822
02:27:43,200 --> 02:27:46,080
Speaker 6: that winner take all contest will take place Monday evening

2823
02:27:46,760 --> 02:27:51,120

02:28:24,959 --> 02:28:28,640
Speaker 6: of last year. Break the States the Second Stakes, the

2851
02:29:16,000 --> 02:29:19,520
Speaker 6: great game seven Sunday. We'll talk about Jamal Murray coming

2852
02:29:19,600 --> 02:29:22,320
Speaker 6: up in just a bit. But I've been promising and

2853
02:29:22,400 --> 02:29:25,040
Speaker 6: I haven't followed through on a lot of NFL talks.

2854
02:29:25,080 --> 02:29:28,960
Speaker 6: So this week the schedule was released and on the

2855
02:29:30,680 --> 02:29:34,480
Speaker 6: on the podcast that Pete Schrager does, he had Mike

2856
02:29:34,560 --> 02:29:37,960
Speaker 6: North on. Now Mike is the He's the guru of

2857
02:29:38,040 --> 02:29:42,240
Speaker 6: the NFL. Schedule, and one of the things that to

2858
02:29:42,400 --> 02:29:44,960
Speaker 6: me is most interesting about this year's schedule, it's the

2859
02:29:45,000 --> 02:29:50,000
Speaker 6: Wednesday games. We have Wednesday Christmas Day games, two of them,

2860
02:29:50,640 --> 02:29:54,520
Speaker 6: and Mike North talked to Pete Schraeger about how did

2861
02:29:54,600 --> 02:29:59,880
Speaker 6: they make the Christmas Day schedule work? Knowing that somebody

2862
02:30:00,120 --> 02:30:02,080
Speaker 6: was going to get short at some rest heading down

2863
02:30:02,120 --> 02:30:02,760
Speaker 6: the home stretch.

2864
02:30:03,240 --> 02:30:06,800
Speaker 26: The fans have spoken right, think about where Christmas has

2865
02:30:06,840 --> 02:30:09,360
Speaker 26: been these last what as a two triple headerslea to

2866
02:30:09,400 --> 02:30:11,960
Speaker 26: the last two years. For the last five years we're

2867
02:30:11,959 --> 02:30:15,120
Speaker 26: playing on Christmas. The fans are there, you know. Last year,

2868
02:30:15,160 --> 02:30:18,160
Speaker 26: I'm pretty sure the three games on Christmas averaged something

2869
02:30:18,280 --> 02:30:22,440
Speaker 26: like twenty seven to twenty eight million viewers. That's monumental numbers.

2870
02:30:23,040 --> 02:30:25,360
Speaker 26: They're there, they want the games, they expect the games

2871
02:30:25,400 --> 02:30:28,360
Speaker 26: from us. Now, but it's a Wednesday. We'll figure it out. Well,

2872
02:30:28,440 --> 02:30:31,400
Speaker 26: we figured it out. We play Sunday to Thursday in

2873
02:30:31,440 --> 02:30:35,000
Speaker 26: this league all the time. Could we play Saturday to Wednesday.

2874
02:30:35,040 --> 02:30:37,200
Speaker 26: It's really the same thing. It's a couple of short

2875
02:30:37,240 --> 02:30:40,879
Speaker 26: weeks back to back Sunday Saturday Wednesday. But it's doable.

2876
02:30:41,000 --> 02:30:43,560
Speaker 26: So early in the process we kind of figured out

2877
02:30:43,760 --> 02:30:46,000
Speaker 26: a path to how we could get there. The real

2878
02:30:46,120 --> 02:30:48,320
Speaker 26: challenge for us was finding the right teams, because you're

2879
02:30:48,360 --> 02:30:51,880
Speaker 26: talking about this little round robin between four teams that

2880
02:30:52,000 --> 02:30:54,120
Speaker 26: all have to play each other, but they all have

2881
02:30:54,200 --> 02:30:56,720
Speaker 26: to have one home in one road, and they have

2882
02:30:56,760 --> 02:30:58,640
Speaker 26: to be four teams that we can think we can

2883
02:30:58,720 --> 02:31:01,359
Speaker 26: count on here in May. They're going to be playoff

2884
02:31:01,400 --> 02:31:04,960
Speaker 26: relevant and national television worthy seven months from now, like

2885
02:31:05,120 --> 02:31:05,680
Speaker 26: it's sports.

2886
02:31:05,720 --> 02:31:06,680
Speaker 24: God only knows, right.

2887
02:31:06,800 --> 02:31:10,720
Speaker 26: So teams that all play each other one home, one away,

2888
02:31:11,000 --> 02:31:12,960
Speaker 26: put them on a Saturday and a Wednesday. We kind

2889
02:31:13,000 --> 02:31:16,080
Speaker 26: of settled in on this AFC North, maybe AFC North

2890
02:31:16,160 --> 02:31:18,640
Speaker 26: with the team or two. You could throw Philly in there,

2891
02:31:18,680 --> 02:31:20,400
Speaker 26: you could throw Houston in there, you can throw Kansas

2892
02:31:20,440 --> 02:31:22,680
Speaker 26: City in there. What's the trickle down effect on the

2893
02:31:22,760 --> 02:31:25,040
Speaker 26: rest of the broadcast partners if you do take a

2894
02:31:25,080 --> 02:31:27,040
Speaker 26: couple of Kansas City games out of the mix like this,

2895
02:31:27,240 --> 02:31:30,200
Speaker 26: So we taught the computer put these games in here

2896
02:31:30,240 --> 02:31:32,960
Speaker 26: to Saturday to Wednesday round robin. Go, but turn them

2897
02:31:33,040 --> 02:31:38,120
Speaker 26: black college instead of all the pretty colors for all

2898
02:31:38,160 --> 02:31:40,920
Speaker 26: our broadcast partners like we usually do. Turn them black.

2899
02:31:41,040 --> 02:31:43,600
Speaker 26: Take them away from everybody. They could go anywhere. Now,

2900
02:31:43,680 --> 02:31:46,160
Speaker 26: once we thought we could do it. Then Hans Schroeder

2901
02:31:46,200 --> 02:31:48,760
Speaker 26: and the business team started reaching out to the existing

2902
02:31:48,840 --> 02:31:52,800
Speaker 26: and apparently non existing broadcast partners and hey, who's interested,

2903
02:31:53,200 --> 02:31:56,920
Speaker 26: And thankfully everybody was a really kind of detailed, drawn

2904
02:31:56,959 --> 02:32:00,840
Speaker 26: out process and really excited to land on something really historic.

2905
02:32:00,920 --> 02:32:03,600
Speaker 26: We've never had nobody's ever had a global rights deal

2906
02:32:03,720 --> 02:32:08,920
Speaker 26: like this, one broadcaster, one sports league, truly global reach.

2907
02:32:08,959 --> 02:32:11,040
Speaker 26: It's gonna be fascinating to see what Netflix could do,

2908
02:32:11,080 --> 02:32:12,560
Speaker 26: and it's part of the reason we put the games

2909
02:32:12,560 --> 02:32:15,120
Speaker 26: in the afternoon. By playing at one o'clock Eastern in

2910
02:32:15,200 --> 02:32:18,480
Speaker 26: the States, now you're in prime time in other countries,

2911
02:32:18,520 --> 02:32:19,959
Speaker 26: you're not in the overnight.

2912
02:32:19,600 --> 02:32:21,600
Speaker 24: For some big markets. For US, Oh that's interesting.

2913
02:32:22,000 --> 02:32:25,040
Speaker 26: The afternoon for US made for a better global opportunity

2914
02:32:25,080 --> 02:32:28,160
Speaker 26: for Netflix. And then you back up afternoon on Wednesday.

2915
02:32:28,680 --> 02:32:30,920
Speaker 26: We probably shouldn't be then playing Saturday night. That's a

2916
02:32:30,959 --> 02:32:34,520
Speaker 26: short week made shorter, so afternoon Wednesday kind of led

2917
02:32:34,560 --> 02:32:37,440
Speaker 26: to afternoon Saturday, and that's how we kind of backed

2918
02:32:37,480 --> 02:32:38,840
Speaker 26: into the time slots.

2919
02:32:39,240 --> 02:32:41,920
Speaker 24: Then which broadcaster we're gonna take them? Yeah, really went

2920
02:32:41,959 --> 02:32:42,520
Speaker 24: down to the wire.

2921
02:32:42,520 --> 02:32:44,400
Speaker 26: There are a lot of people interested, and it's gonna

2922
02:32:44,400 --> 02:32:45,920
Speaker 26: be really fascinating to see how this works.

2923
02:32:49,800 --> 02:32:55,440
Speaker 3: One other, one other thing here from Mike North actually too. First,

2924
02:32:56,000 --> 02:32:59,920
Speaker 3: where was the mistake? What mistake do the NFL may

2925
02:33:00,800 --> 02:33:02,320
Speaker 3: in putting this schedule together?

2926
02:33:02,879 --> 02:33:06,760
Speaker 26: If in retrospect, maybe asking the Ravens to play on

2927
02:33:07,000 --> 02:33:11,520
Speaker 26: the road on Christmas two years in a row, maybe

2928
02:33:11,760 --> 02:33:14,640
Speaker 26: because last year Christmas was at Niners, right, which and

2929
02:33:14,959 --> 02:33:16,760
Speaker 26: you remember that day like it felt like a Super

2930
02:33:16,800 --> 02:33:19,640
Speaker 26: Bowl Prome, my gosh, with one seeds and it was

2931
02:33:19,720 --> 02:33:21,280
Speaker 26: gonna be such a big game and it was gonna

2932
02:33:21,280 --> 02:33:22,920
Speaker 26: be the culmination of this incredible weekend.

2933
02:33:22,959 --> 02:33:24,520
Speaker 24: And it didn't turn out to be. It was still

2934
02:33:24,520 --> 02:33:27,600
Speaker 24: a cool game, it was, but like the Ravens were rolling, right,

2935
02:33:27,800 --> 02:33:30,440
Speaker 24: you had five Ambers and it's okay.

2936
02:33:30,320 --> 02:33:33,520
Speaker 3: Let's say, can we have a conversation real quick? I mean,

2937
02:33:33,640 --> 02:33:36,560
Speaker 3: I don't know why no one invests in a focus right,

2938
02:33:37,400 --> 02:33:41,160
Speaker 3: but holy smokes, Pete Schrager, you're yelling into your computer

2939
02:33:41,800 --> 02:33:46,720
Speaker 3: doing a podcast over zoom or whatever recording technology that's it.

2940
02:33:47,080 --> 02:33:52,959
Speaker 2: You're yelling let the person talk. For goodness sakes, back.

2941
02:33:52,760 --> 02:33:53,160
Speaker 4: To the cut.

2942
02:33:53,320 --> 02:33:54,760
Speaker 24: These guys are unstoppable.

2943
02:33:55,680 --> 02:33:58,200
Speaker 26: Look, Pard and fast rule that you can't play Thanksgiving

2944
02:33:58,240 --> 02:34:00,000
Speaker 26: and Christmas, no I'm not sure that's.

2945
02:33:59,840 --> 02:34:01,920
Speaker 24: The thing to do to the players, to their families.

2946
02:34:02,680 --> 02:34:04,560
Speaker 26: Maybe having both of those games at home wouldn't be

2947
02:34:04,560 --> 02:34:06,080
Speaker 26: the right thing to do to the fans asking them

2948
02:34:06,120 --> 02:34:08,760
Speaker 26: to show up on both holidays. But look, if we're

2949
02:34:08,760 --> 02:34:10,800
Speaker 26: gonna be playing on Christmas now, and you know, we're

2950
02:34:10,840 --> 02:34:14,520
Speaker 26: playing on Thanksgiving, and we're playing on you know, Black Friday,

2951
02:34:14,560 --> 02:34:16,760
Speaker 26: and we'll play on New Year's and we'll play on

2952
02:34:17,440 --> 02:34:20,160
Speaker 26: you know, just about any holiday they'll give us, it's

2953
02:34:20,200 --> 02:34:23,040
Speaker 26: going to land on the teams that are good.

2954
02:34:24,200 --> 02:34:27,680
Speaker 3: Finally, why did the Jets get so many primetime games?

2955
02:34:27,760 --> 02:34:31,960
Speaker 3: And maybe primetime isn't the right word to use, but standalone.

2956
02:34:31,680 --> 02:34:33,680
Speaker 24: We don't just think about it in terms of primetime.

2957
02:34:33,720 --> 02:34:35,480
Speaker 26: I know that's a big thing that everybody goes out

2958
02:34:35,480 --> 02:34:38,160
Speaker 26: there and talks about, but you can't really talk primetime

2959
02:34:38,200 --> 02:34:40,960
Speaker 26: with out also talking about America's.

2960
02:34:40,440 --> 02:34:42,520
Speaker 2: Game of the Week on Fox, which is exactly a

2961
02:34:42,640 --> 02:34:43,280
Speaker 2: bigger rating.

2962
02:34:43,360 --> 02:34:45,720
Speaker 24: Sometimes, Yeah, you got always, I mean that's our average

2963
02:34:45,760 --> 02:34:46,360
Speaker 24: highest window.

2964
02:34:46,600 --> 02:34:49,320
Speaker 26: I think, I mean, I have to have this exactly right,

2965
02:34:49,360 --> 02:34:53,160
Speaker 26: but I think Fox and CBS both average twenty five

2966
02:34:53,320 --> 02:34:56,440
Speaker 26: million viewers for that four to twenty five double header window,

2967
02:34:56,640 --> 02:34:58,240
Speaker 26: and I think the gap between the two of them

2968
02:34:58,360 --> 02:35:00,920
Speaker 26: was like fifteen thousand viewers when the whole thing fits

2969
02:35:01,280 --> 02:35:02,920
Speaker 26: those two still.

2970
02:35:03,160 --> 02:35:05,600
Speaker 24: But that's our window where we get more eyeballs than

2971
02:35:05,640 --> 02:35:06,000
Speaker 24: any other.

2972
02:35:06,240 --> 02:35:07,840
Speaker 26: Every now and then you get something pop on a

2973
02:35:07,879 --> 02:35:10,880
Speaker 26: Sunday night or a Monday night obviously Thanksgiving, Christmas you

2974
02:35:10,959 --> 02:35:14,440
Speaker 26: see some thirty thirty five million numbers, But average day

2975
02:35:14,480 --> 02:35:16,879
Speaker 26: to day, week to week cadence of the NFL season,

2976
02:35:17,240 --> 02:35:19,520
Speaker 26: that's Sunday four twenty five windows really where you get

2977
02:35:19,520 --> 02:35:21,840
Speaker 26: the most eyeballs, so that should count. You may not

2978
02:35:21,920 --> 02:35:23,960
Speaker 26: be in prime, but if you're in four twenty five,

2979
02:35:24,400 --> 02:35:26,520
Speaker 26: that's maybe even a bigger give to the brand, and

2980
02:35:26,600 --> 02:35:28,840
Speaker 26: I mean even bigger indication of what we think you're

2981
02:35:28,879 --> 02:35:29,640
Speaker 26: gonna be this year.

2982
02:35:29,760 --> 02:35:33,600
Speaker 24: So here in Sunday afternoons, then you really get a seat.

2983
02:35:33,680 --> 02:35:33,880
Speaker 5: That's it.

2984
02:35:34,000 --> 02:35:37,879
Speaker 16: So it's seven standalone games in the first eleven weeks

2985
02:35:38,360 --> 02:35:39,320
Speaker 16: for the Jets.

2986
02:35:39,160 --> 02:35:42,640
Speaker 26: Hills man, I mean eron for last year from Aaron

2987
02:35:42,840 --> 02:35:45,080
Speaker 26: like that. Anybody who thinks the NFL is scripted, I

2988
02:35:45,160 --> 02:35:48,560
Speaker 26: assure you that was not. It's not the the way

2989
02:35:48,680 --> 02:35:50,760
Speaker 26: that don't makers threw it up? Are we maybe a

2990
02:35:50,800 --> 02:35:53,400
Speaker 26: little too all in on the Jets again this year. Look,

2991
02:35:53,440 --> 02:35:56,600
Speaker 26: if he's healthy and they're relevant, then no, this is

2992
02:35:56,640 --> 02:35:59,240
Speaker 26: the games that you know, our broadcast partners asked for

2993
02:35:59,640 --> 02:36:02,080
Speaker 26: early season, that our fans want to see. And then

2994
02:36:02,120 --> 02:36:03,520
Speaker 26: you get to the second half of the season, and

2995
02:36:03,560 --> 02:36:05,960
Speaker 26: if he is healthy in their playoff relevant, They've got

2996
02:36:06,000 --> 02:36:08,080
Speaker 26: a really good schedule down the stretch against the Rams,

2997
02:36:08,160 --> 02:36:11,280
Speaker 26: the Bills, the Dolphins, the Seahawks. Maybe those games move

2998
02:36:11,320 --> 02:36:14,320
Speaker 26: into flexible scheduling windows or get into a bigger footprint

2999
02:36:14,360 --> 02:36:17,119
Speaker 26: on a Sunday afternoon. So yeah, maybe a little heavy

3000
02:36:17,200 --> 02:36:19,760
Speaker 26: on the Jets early, but I think that's a story

3001
02:36:19,840 --> 02:36:22,000
Speaker 26: that everybody's gonna be following this year, and that's what

3002
02:36:22,040 --> 02:36:22,520
Speaker 26: we're going to do.

3003
02:36:22,560 --> 02:36:23,560
Speaker 24: We're here to tell the stories.

3004
02:36:23,760 --> 02:36:26,879
Speaker 3: There you go, there's the inside scoop on the two

3005
02:36:26,920 --> 02:36:31,000
Speaker 3: big controversies all the Jets focus back to back years

3006
02:36:31,040 --> 02:36:33,200
Speaker 3: for the Ravens on Christmas. We'll put a rap on

3007
02:36:33,320 --> 02:36:35,840
Speaker 3: this edition of the Bernie Fratto Show next right here

3008
02:36:36,040 --> 02:36:41,040
Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Radio. I can't believe this is it

3009
02:36:41,959 --> 02:36:46,119

Speaker 3: I mean two straight days?

3013
02:36:56,120 --> 02:36:56,280
Speaker 5: Was that?

3014
02:36:56,720 --> 02:36:59,040
Speaker 2: Seven hours? Overnight radio?

3015
02:37:00,560 --> 02:37:04,960

Speaker 3: we get off the air.

3023
02:37:24,040 --> 02:37:26,280
Speaker 2: Okay, two things before we get out.

3024
02:37:26,360 --> 02:37:30,520
Speaker 3: Number one big story at least from last night leading

3025
02:37:30,600 --> 02:37:36,040
Speaker 3: over to today, Mark Dagnault challenging the late foul on

3026
02:37:36,120 --> 02:37:40,800
Speaker 3: Shay Gilgess Alexander led to Oklahoma City not having a

3027
02:37:40,920 --> 02:37:46,000
Speaker 3: time out so Dallas when basically they made the two

3028
02:37:46,040 --> 02:37:48,880
Speaker 3: free throws. When they made the two free throws, they

3029
02:37:48,920 --> 02:37:51,840
Speaker 3: were able to miss the third and okay, se couldn't

3030
02:37:51,840 --> 02:37:55,480
Speaker 3: do anything, so Dagnault he talked about the decision to

3031
02:37:55,640 --> 02:37:56,800
Speaker 3: use that challenge late.

3032
02:37:57,360 --> 02:38:01,200
Speaker 12: Oh, I don't have as good of a replay as

3033
02:38:01,240 --> 02:38:04,520
Speaker 12: there was on TV, so you know, I just you know,

3034
02:38:04,640 --> 02:38:07,360
Speaker 12: he got ball, you know, and then obviously got arm

3035
02:38:07,440 --> 02:38:09,240
Speaker 12: as well, you know, I thought he might have gotten

3036
02:38:09,240 --> 02:38:12,600
Speaker 12: the ball first, and just in that situation, you know,

3037
02:38:12,840 --> 02:38:16,040
Speaker 12: even without leaving myself a time out, I thought any

3038
02:38:16,120 --> 02:38:19,040
Speaker 12: chance that we could take points off the board and

3039
02:38:19,160 --> 02:38:22,000
Speaker 12: reverse that call would be worth the risk.

3040
02:38:22,360 --> 02:38:23,720
Speaker 22: So that's why I went and got it.

3041
02:38:24,040 --> 02:38:26,400
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, for us, GA, very simple.

3042
02:38:26,879 --> 02:38:28,800
Speaker 11: We talk about it all your other little things that

3043
02:38:28,920 --> 02:38:33,760
Speaker 11: go into winning games and being disciplined, and it sucks. Obviously,

3044
02:38:33,760 --> 02:38:35,320
Speaker 11: if I had the moment back, I went to fold

3045
02:38:35,400 --> 02:38:37,440
Speaker 11: him and just let him make her miss the shot.

3046
02:38:38,280 --> 02:38:40,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, basketball, and you win something, you lose some.

3047
02:38:40,720 --> 02:38:41,400
Speaker 4: You made mistakes.

3048
02:38:42,800 --> 02:38:44,160
Speaker 2: Let him miss the shot.

3049
02:38:45,600 --> 02:38:45,920
Speaker 17: Again.

3050
02:38:46,879 --> 02:38:49,480
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving got the rebound. Put in a bucket. You

3051
02:38:49,520 --> 02:38:53,240
Speaker 3: would have been down one regardless. So not here to

3052
02:38:53,320 --> 02:38:57,720
Speaker 3: point fingers SGA. But as expected, I put a Twitter

3053
02:38:57,760 --> 02:39:00,120
Speaker 3: pull up an hour one. I realized quite early it

3054
02:39:00,200 --> 02:39:03,120
Speaker 3: was going to be a disaster because I'm in Oklahoma.

3055
02:39:03,160 --> 02:39:05,920
Speaker 3: I live in Oklahoma. Most of my followers are Oklahoma peeps.

3056
02:39:06,520 --> 02:39:08,640
Speaker 3: And the question was I thought a pretty good one.

3057
02:39:09,600 --> 02:39:12,240
Speaker 3: I felt good about this, giving us some content tonight.

3058
02:39:13,040 --> 02:39:15,680
Speaker 3: You can build around one. Who are you going with,

3059
02:39:16,280 --> 02:39:21,600
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards, Lugadancic or Shay Gil just Alexander, A whopping

3060
02:39:21,720 --> 02:39:25,120
Speaker 3: sixty four percent of you have gone with Shae Gil

3061
02:39:25,560 --> 02:39:29,320
Speaker 3: Alexander Again. I think that's that's my audience. Meanwhile, you

3062
02:39:29,400 --> 02:39:33,040
Speaker 3: get a game seven tonight, two of them to be exact,

3063
02:39:33,080 --> 02:39:38,280
Speaker 3: the Afternoon Nicks, Pacers Tonight, Timberwolves, Nuggets. Jamal Murray's the

3064
02:39:38,360 --> 02:39:43,160
Speaker 3: key last year twenty six points, seven assists, three threes,

3065
02:39:43,440 --> 02:39:46,800
Speaker 3: shot forty percent for deep, had a forty point game,

3066
02:39:47,840 --> 02:39:51,080
Speaker 3: thirty four points four different times, triple double in the finals.

3067
02:39:51,320 --> 02:39:54,560
Speaker 2: He was amazing. He was amazing last year in the

3068
02:39:54,640 --> 02:39:55,240
Speaker 2: Nuggets run.

3069
02:39:56,040 --> 02:39:59,720
Speaker 3: But in this postseason, basically he's been the guy beating

3070
02:39:59,760 --> 02:40:03,920
Speaker 3: the le He has two dramatic game winners, and that's it.

3071
02:40:05,000 --> 02:40:08,600
Speaker 3: He's averaging just nineteen points per game on twenty shots,

3072
02:40:09,720 --> 02:40:12,920
Speaker 3: and among the four one hundred and eighty eight individual

3073
02:40:13,000 --> 02:40:16,440
Speaker 3: postseasons with at least as many three point attempts as

3074
02:40:16,560 --> 02:40:19,400
Speaker 3: Murray has taken in this one, he has ranked four

3075
02:40:19,520 --> 02:40:22,600
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy eight out of four hundred and eighty

3076
02:40:22,640 --> 02:40:28,119
Speaker 3: eight individuals in their true shooting percentage. Lost his temper

3077
02:40:28,360 --> 02:40:31,080
Speaker 3: through the hitting pad or whatever from the bench in

3078
02:40:31,200 --> 02:40:36,680
Speaker 3: Game two, and he's been battling an injury Jokich is unstoppable, right,

3079
02:40:36,800 --> 02:40:37,279
Speaker 3: the Joker.

3080
02:40:38,240 --> 02:40:42,480
Speaker 2: But to me, Denver wins this. If Jamal Murray plays

3081
02:40:42,560 --> 02:40:45,920
Speaker 2: well this postseason, when he has.

3082
02:40:45,840 --> 02:40:48,560
Speaker 3: A fifteen or more game, fifteen point or more game,

3083
02:40:48,879 --> 02:40:51,840
Speaker 3: the Nuggets are five and zero. They're two to four

3084
02:40:51,920 --> 02:40:54,480
Speaker 3: in the other six. You want to beat the Nuggets,
