00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,080

Speaker 4: The seventy six Ers trailing the Knicks.

20
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: But the big news of the day just happened, and

21
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: this is going to be what dominates the conversation over

22
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: the next couple hours.

23
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: If we get there, he's limping to the.

24
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: Room and a monumental situation for the Sixers at lead.

25
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: For now, that's right, VJ.

26
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: Half that was half of the call of duel Embiid

27
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: injuring his knee again. Uh, as he had what sounded

28
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 3: like I was. I was listening on the radio on

29
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: the way and I didn't get a chance to see it,

30
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 3: uh because obviously we just started this show. But he

31
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 3: threw the ball off the backboard, dunked it landed on

32
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: his knee awkwardly, and it's now in the back of

33
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: the locker room. And uh, just to show you the

34
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: place where the broadcast is, they're showing Kyle Ariio, So

35
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 3: that's about where the sixers are.

36
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: VJ. How or you.

41
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 4: God be a thing. It's legal in certain plays and

42
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 4: half ho with it. But uh yeah, man, that was

43
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 4: sad to see. That was that I was sad to see.

44
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: And I'm glad I went ahead and picked the Nickabochas

45
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 4: to win this series and six you know, even with

46
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: him out there now, he's still out there. Uh, the

47
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 4: seven point game, right, now.

48
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: But I okay, good because the way that I'm glad

49
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: to see it beck on the court, cause the way

50
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: that the next broadcast I was listening to the next

51
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: broadcast on ACCEMPT, you would have thought it was you

52
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: would have thought it was uh, he was picking up

53
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: six of his best friends to walk him to the grave.

54
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 4: Like it would sounded terrible. Could to see him back

55
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 4: out there? Yeah, like Paul Pierce in the finals in

56
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 4: the wheelchair. Lebron in the finals had to be carried

57
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: off from dehydration and and San Antonio, That's what it

58
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 4: sounded like.

59
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: But naw, he's back out there.

60
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 4: But this is going to hamper them moving forward, and

61
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: and it's it's really a shame because Embeid was on

62
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 4: a record tearing pace, a career type year coming off

63
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 4: of an MVP season, and at one point, I believe

64
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: Philly was as high as two or three when he

65
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 4: went out. They just they they barely barely were able

66
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: to weather the storm and not have to be out

67
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: of the play in, but in the play in and

68
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 4: then got it done there And I was sitting, uh,

69
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 4: sitting in the playoffs. But I tell you, man, this

70
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: feels like man this is this is bad and he's

71
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: out there and he's got to play through it. But

72
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: if it's hurt and you already torn him in this

73
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 4: is what he was twenty one games of twenty nine games,

74
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 4: twenty one to twenty nine games, something like that, it's

75
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 4: but if he's hurting, they don't have a shot in

76
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 4: this series. Man, he looks good moving around, he's not laboring,

77
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: but you can only imagine just his.

78
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you know he's gotta be feeling yeah, yeah.

79
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: His his lower extremities, Martin have taken Remember this goes

80
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 4: all the way back to Kansas, bro like he's been.

81
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 4: He's just injured. His body's let him down so many times.

82
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 4: And if he's not gonna be at one hundred percent

83
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: and I think he told Doris Burke that he's only

84
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 4: at about eighty right now, so you know he's gonna

85
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 4: be less. They don't have a shot to win this series.

86
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 4: And it's sad because he was having a great year.

87
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: See for me, especially because a lot of talk was

88
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: a lot of talk in the play in uh was

89
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: about how ANDMB didn't look right right and part of

90
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: me just thought, you know, I thought it had a

91
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: lot to do with the idea that you know, he

92
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: hasn't played a lot of basketball.

93
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: Right.

94
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: And here's the thing that we do as as fans, right,

95
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: are as radio guys or you know, guys who are

96
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: not you know, in the arena show to speak right

97
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: or not, who're not talking the words sucking heads, man, exactly.

98
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 4: You picked up idiots and I'm just kidding. Hey, well

99
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: that's fine. You don't call me that, but I've been

100
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: called that.

101
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: So when you're out for an injury, it's not just rest,

102
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: it's rehab.

103
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: And you're not necessarily doing.

104
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: You know whatever.

105
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: Like think about it like this, what doctor would tell you, Hey,

106
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 3: you just.

107
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 4: Hurt your knee playing basketball.

108
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: You know what?

109
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 3: The fix is more basketball. That's not the way it goes.

110
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: It's like the rehab exercises are not necessarily the exercises

111
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 3: that you are doing to maintain your conditioning and get

112
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: in shape.

113
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: Right.

114
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: So while he is working on the knee around the clock,

115
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: he's also losing some of his stamina just.

116
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 4: Because of the nature of having to work on his knee.

117
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 3: Right, So we always look at things like an injury

118
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: like that. I think the general guy looks at our

119
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: general fantas to say, looks at it like, well, he's

120
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 3: got some time off to rest and recover and so on. No,

121
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 3: you gotta maintain elite physical shape and ability throughout this

122
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 3: entire time, which is obviously damn near impossible to do

123
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 3: if you have a lower body injury. So I thought

124
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 3: after the playing tournament, when we saw Embiid kind of

125
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: struggle through the first three quarters and then pull himself

126
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 3: up in the fourth quarter bing bang boom, I thought

127
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: that we were looking at a guy who was tired, right,

128
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: a guy who is just not used to playing high

129
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: intensity basketball now with an injury like with Obviously he's

130
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: back in the game now as we just saw, but

131
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: with an injury like this, it makes me now a

132
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: lot more concern for Philadelphia, knowing that he may not

133
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: have just been tired. That might just might have been

134
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: him in that fourth quarter against Miami, just saying if

135
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: I ball out right now, I get three or four

136
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 3: days off to get off of this foot and get

137
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: off of his knee.

138
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

139
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 4: Not only that, if you look at his career, he's

140
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: only played sixty eight games or more ones that was

141
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 4: twenty eleven, twenty twelve, He's only played sixty games or

142
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 4: more four times in his career. And you have to

143
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 4: remember twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, he missed all the way

144
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 4: till twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen from the foot injury. And

145
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 4: remember he was hurt again at Kansas. This has become

146
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 4: a problem with Joel Embiid and I joke sometimes where

147
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 4: I say, you know, he he falls more than the

148
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 4: autumn leaves back east, and that's because he does.

149
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: For a big guy, he's always.

150
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: On the ground. And I am from the era. I

151
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 4: don't care if I'm old guy at the barbershop right now,

152
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 4: I really don't, but I'm from the era where you.

153
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: Just didn't see the seven footers.

154
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 4: On the ground a lot. They were knocking guys to

155
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 4: the ground, and he falls a lot, and that's just

156
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 4: where and tear on your body. Alan Iverson is famous

157
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 4: for saying one of his famous saints, he has a

158
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 4: lot of them, that if he knew that the falling

159
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 4: and sliding and all that stuff, after layups and things

160
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 4: of that nature, he'd learn more about balance, put weight

161
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: on his body to take that type of beating. Because

162
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 4: he said, hitting the ground like that time after time

163
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: after time after time again wore his body down. And

164
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 4: Embiid is a big guy already. You already got the knee,

165
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: he's had the growing, he's had, the calve, he's had,

166
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 4: the foot, he's I mean, he's had at the ankle,

167
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 4: he's had all lower extremities. But you don't, you don't

168
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: get yourself in shape, get your show prepared to not

169
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 4: have to take so much punishment by falling so much.

170
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: And today dunk off the back I mean, like, what

171
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: are we doing? Like, come on, brother, it's gotta be

172
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: a as much.

173
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: As we've never as much as we did. Now you

174
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: see seven footers falling like that. That is not something.

175
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: The move he did where he kind of scooped it

176
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: up off the backboard, throwing it to himself and Dunky's

177
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: standing at the free throw line two steps to the rim.

178
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 4: That's not a movie that we would have seen out

179
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 4: of the seven footer in the nineties either. Why shock

180
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: Shaq could have done that? Ninety Shack was that athletic?

181
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: All right, that's not a.

182
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: Movie we were seeing our seven footage of two thousands,

183
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: because right, fat Shack's not doing that, all right, No, no,

184
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: fast Shack's not Gardnet.

185
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 4: I think I think Gardn that in this late nineties

186
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: could have pulled that off. Gardn that was the ticket

187
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 4: people forget. But I feel what you saying. I'm sing

188
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: about getting.

189
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 3: Bead's body tight right And did you look at Kevin

190
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: Kevin Gartnett's body type. Kevin Gartnet is closer to Kevin

191
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: Durant right now, closer with.

192
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 4: Shack, the Cleveland shack or the Boston Shock. It's definitely

193
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 4: not the LA Shock. The LA Shock was cut cut,

194
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: especially ninety six ninety seven. See who's on the ground

195
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: right now? Who's on the ground right say it? Mark,

196
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 4: who's on the floor right now from a foul from

197
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 4: a guard? Like like real talk? A found a touch

198
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: foul from a guard? An he falls live on TV

199
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: right now. That couldn't have been playing. Thank you sports guys.

200
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 4: I appreciate that one. I appreciate that that that that

201
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 4: give me right there. But I just think this is

202
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 4: gonna be a problem. But I think the Knicks. I

203
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 4: picked the Knicks to win this and six. I think

204
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 4: the Knicks win this series. I love April and May

205
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: basketball in New York. It matters to the league. When

206
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 4: the Knicks are in the playoffs, it can go deep

207
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 4: and have a deep run. So I think they will.

208
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 4: I have them probably surprisingly deeper than most people.

209
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: Well, I think the winner of this the winner of

210
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: this series here ends up in the Eastern Conference Finals.

211
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 4: Ah okay, well I mean spoiler alert, then that's where

212
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 4: I have the Knicks.

213
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think out of this series is gonna

214
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: end up being in the Conference finals. But I also

215
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: picked the Knicks to win this series without knowing that

216
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: jowellen b was gonna miss part of this game due

217
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: to injury, although a very short part.

218
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: Of the game as he's back out now.

219
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: As I've said a few times, but yeah, I just

220
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm a Homer or what. I'm

221
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 3: not from New York. I nothing two New York. I

222
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: just love the way they play. I just love the

223
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: way they play. They play hard. And since they made

224
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 3: the move to sign og and a nub og and

225
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: the Nobi and bog Don Bogdanovich and Juice induced McBride,

226
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: those two coming off the bench, Anonobi in the starting lineup,

227
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: that with Anonoby in the lineup, they are one. They

228
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 3: got crazy splits. Like I know everybody's looking at embiid.

229
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: I think the Sixers were on at thirty I can't

230
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 3: remember the number, but whatever the pace they were on

231
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 3: at the time was up there, there would have been

232
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: the two seed in the East had they continued on,

233
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: and would have been pushing Boston right if Embaid had

234
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: continued on the pace that he was on, if the

235
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: team had continued on the winning streak that they were.

236
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: On prior to him getting hurt.

237
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: If you look at the sh it's obviously shorter sample size,

238
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: but the numbers with that and Noby boy, I tell you,

239
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, no, no, it looks good.

240
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 4: But I also tell you this too, something that nobody

241
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 4: seems the one to mention Tom Thibodeaux. I think it's

242
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: time that we actually give that man his flowers and

243
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 4: tip our cat because when things went bad with Jimmy Butler,

244
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 4: I really do believe people took Jimmy's side over Thibodau

245
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 4: and we forgot what a great coach this man is.

246
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: He's coached in the conference finals, He's coached MVPs and

247
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: Derek Rowse.

248
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: He is.

249
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 4: He makes team, he coaches teams better. To be honest

250
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 4: with you, if you look at this roster, you guys

251
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 4: just heard Martin name all these guys. Half to people

252
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 4: listening right now, didn't don't know three of those guys

253
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 4: he just named. But you know why you know him

254
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 4: now because Tom Thibodau and the staff that he always

255
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 4: seems to put together, they coach guys up. You know what,

256
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: certain coaches stay at five hundred five point fifty five

257
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 4: fifty winning. They don't know how to coach guys up.

258
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 4: Every coach got talent. Orlando's got a player. Man, Carroll

259
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 4: is a player. I don't know what they're gonna do

260
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 4: with sugs and the other piece they need to move.

261
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 4: But I man, Carroll, by the eye test, he's a player.

262
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 4: But can you coach him higher? Can you coach him up?

263
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: Thibodeau takes these guys and he's got him up to

264
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 4: the number two seed, fifty plus win team, only the

265
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 4: second team, Only two teams in the East did it.

266
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 4: It was Boston and who else? The Nick Obaca. So

267
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: I think we need to go ahead and give Tims

268
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 4: this credit too. Man, This team should not be the

269
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: two seed, mark, would you would agree with that?

270
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: Right?

271
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 4: This team should not be the two seed with all

272
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 4: the other talent that's in Look what happens to Chicago.

273
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 4: I think the next will I think they have a

274
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 4: lot of talent, I really do, but I don't the

275
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 4: two seed over Milwaukee. This is this has better team

276
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 4: than Milwaukee. I mean Doc's coaching.

277
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 3: You had a Milwaukee had a pretty precipitous fall down

278
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: the standings, But I think the Knicks would have been

279
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: in competition for the two or three seed. No one

280
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 3: was touching Boston. On the one seed, No no one's

281
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: touching Boston.

282
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 4: But if Miami doesn't face as many injuries as they did,

283
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: and if a team like Atlanta doesn't fall way below

284
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 4: expectations of what people thought they were gonna be, I

285
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 4: had them as a four or five, there two. But

286
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 4: once again there are two because Tom Tibba, with everything

287
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 4: else you just named, Tom Thibodau is the coach.

288
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: Let's take a break right now, dive back into the

289
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 3: rest of the Eastern Conference, and we obviously we just

290
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: did a little preview on this year. As we both

291
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: think the Knicks win. Who else is going to let

292
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: advance in the East. Stay tuned for that in just

325
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 3: Like I said just a minute ago, the NBA playoffs

326
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 3: upon us. Now the PLU tournament that's dead, all right,

327
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 3: they've played in already now at this time for the playoffs. Hey,

328
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: let's turn this down a little bit. I'm talking all right,

329
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: thank you, appreciate it. I mean, the eight seeds now

330
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: all solidified.

331
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 2: Right now?

332
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 3: We have one game so far in the books, the

333
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 3: Cleveland Cavaliers New Orlando Magic. Cleveland up one to zero

334
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: in that series in a game that was close until

335
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: it wasn't.

336
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, I'm sorry, two games.

337
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: I'm forgetting about the Timberwolves and the Suns. That was

338
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: a game also that was close until it wasn't with

339
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves stretching on them a little bit in the

340
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: third quarter.

341
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 4: How about this, before we dive into the full preview.

342
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: How about I would have lost a lot of money

343
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: thinking that I would have if somebody had gave me odds.

344
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: Would I ever see Isaiah Thomas, former Boston Celtic playing

345
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: in the NBA playoffs. So that was kind of cool

346
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: to see him coming back from a knee hip injury

347
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: from many many years ago out there getting a couple

348
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: of minutes. But the reason why he got a couple

349
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: of minutes because the Timberwolves ran the Suns off the

350
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 3: court earlier today. But let's take on the Eastern Conference

351
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: side right now, Vitre, I won't you go ahead and

352
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 3: run down you're initial your Eastern Conference predictions.

353
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 4: I need Boston in the sweep. I got Boston in

354
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 4: the sweep, and it's simply because number one, Jimmy Butler

355
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 4: and we needed to revisit that old conversation I've been

356
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 4: saying for the last two years about Jimmy Butler being

357
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 4: your one a guy. As he hurts his knee the

358
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 4: other night, they know he's missing weeks, so they'm not

359
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 4: sure when when they get him back, but they're gonna

360
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 4: start at Boston without Jimmy Butler all the all the

361
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 4: I'm picking them the sweep because this is what Boston

362
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 4: should do. They should sweep Miami shouldn't get a game

363
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 4: from them. I don't care if Jimmy comes back in

364
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 4: game three. You've been the best team in the league

365
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 4: by by all accounts, all year long. This is where

366
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 4: the Mike and Scottie teams, the Shaq and Kobe teams,

367
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 4: that the Lebron, Wade and Boss teams. This is this

368
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: is where the Golden State Wars teams the first round. God,

369
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 4: when you're the one the first round, you should get

370
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 4: get rid of these get rid of these dudes. You

371
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 4: had to play two games mostly are one game to

372
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 4: get in. You have the playerfs game to get in.

373
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 4: You ain't really supposed to be here, so they need

374
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 4: to sweep them. Tatum, you're on. Everybody wants to shut

375
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 4: me up about Tatum. Here's another opportunity for Jason Tatum,

376
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: who's still young, getting in this problem. But here's an

377
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 4: opportunity for you, the guy on the team. I need

378
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 4: them to sweep. I'm gonna take Orlando, I mean, excuse me,

379
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take the Caves. But I think it's a

380
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 4: hard fault series. I just don't like the Calves makeup

381
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 4: of being a team that can dominate another team. And

382
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 4: I think Ben Carroll's got like a thirty five forty

383
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 4: point night in them eleven board something like that, because

384
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 4: there's nobody first playoff action. Yeah, but they don't really

385
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 4: have anybody that can guard him. Once he figures that out,

386
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 4: he'll have an explosive game. I think they played well

387
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 4: at home. They play defense. Sugs is gonna win Defensive

388
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 4: Player of the Year some point in his career in

389
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 4: this league because he is a tremendous perimeter defense and

390
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 4: we've seen perimeter guards win that award, So go ahead

391
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 4: and give me the Calves though. And seven, I'm gonna

392
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 4: take the Pacers over the Bucks now that I know

393
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 4: that Gianni is gonna start this year is gonna start

394
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 4: without Giannis. We have no idea when he's coming back.

395
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 4: But the Pacers can score one twenty three a game.

396
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 4: And and Tyrese Halibert man arseonmated the kid. He's got

397
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 4: me sold Man twenty three and eleven this year led

398
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 4: the league in doms and uh with with the with

399
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 4: the Bucks, Doc Rivers. That's really all I have to say.

400
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna add Chris Middleton because maybe people are

401
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 4: listening to me. Now, he's a he's a bi guy.

402
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 4: He's not an A guy. He's not an a too guy.

403
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 4: He's he's a big guy.

404
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: Guys.

405
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 4: He was in Detroit, we drafted him, so I've seen

406
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 4: him up close and personal. And give me the Nicobokas

407
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 4: and six. I just don't think Philly has enough weapons.

408
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 4: And like you said, I like the way this Knicks

409
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 4: team plays. They play tough, they defend, they rebound, and

410
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: their coach by a hard nosed, good basketball coach, and

411
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 4: then clutch times he can draw up excell and o's

412
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 4: to overcompensate for maybe not having the ultimate superstar, but

413
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: just still got a heart.

414
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: You still got a.

415
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 4: Brunts, and so you still got guys you can you

416
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 4: can go to so And then next round, give me

417
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 4: Boston over the paces, give me Nickoboxas over the caves,

418
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 4: and my Eastern Conference Finals is Boston the Knicks.

419
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: I just know this.

420
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 3: I am rooting with the fire of a thousand sons

421
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

422
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: I was why.

423
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 3: Because what they did in Game eighty two by running

424
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: out a fourth quarter lineup which consisted of Imani Bits

425
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: and Pete Nance.

426
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 4: All due respect to Pete NANCE love his brother, Larry Nance.

427
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: That's my guy. I've interviewed him whole.

428
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 4: That's a backhand compliment, just so you know.

429
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: I'm just no.

430
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 3: Listen, those guys, Imani Bates was up and down from

431
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 3: a G League type situation. They tanked the last game

432
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: of the jeez all purpose. No, I just hate I can't.

433
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 3: I hate this yellow belly coward way of going about

434
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 3: and trying to pick your playoff matchup. You want to

435
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 3: win a championship, you gotta beat everybody.

436
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter when you're supposed to play them.

437
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: It's like people talking and it permeates all the conversation. Right,

438
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 3: just like last week, Should the Lakers take you to

439
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets? A absolutely not?

440
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 2: You freaking loser?

441
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 4: Can I give Lebron pops? Right, nontality? Can I give

442
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 4: Lebron props you want? You guys want a goo Lebron

443
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 4: moment from me? Lebron heard that bro, and I think

444
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: Lebron I thought he took that person, Like, are you

445
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 4: kidding me? Y'all can say which I want to say

446
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 4: about me, but do you think my competitiveness is gonna

447
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 4: go out and lose the damn game?

448
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 3: Ashley rooted for the Laker. Well, that's what the Cavaliers did.

449
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 3: They went out there and said, you know what we're

450
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 3: gonna do. All right, We're gonna lay down, all right.

451
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 3: They didn't all five starters that they have all season.

452
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 4: They were, hey, take the day off, Why don't.

453
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: You have a little PTO, Donovan Mitchell, don't bother stay

454
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: home Like no, that's ridiculous. And the idea that they

455
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 3: went and targeted the Magic I hope the Maggiets beat

456
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 3: him in five because they can't.

457
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 2: Beat him at four.

458
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: All right, now that that's off the chest, I agree

459
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 3: with you one hundred percent on Boston. This Boston team

460
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 3: has been dominating the not the Eastern Conference, but the

461
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 3: MBA to the point that it is news when they lose.

462
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 3: All right, this should be a run similar to what

463
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 3: we saw from the Denver Nuggets last season, where you

464
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 3: lose a total of four games throughout the postseason, maybe right,

465
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: a total of three games throughout the postseason, something along

466
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,239
Speaker 3: those lines. I'm with you on this week, especially if

467
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler is going to be hampered. I'm still gonna

468
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 3: take the Bucks here against the Pacers because as good

469
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: as Tyre's Haliburton is he has not been the same

470
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 3: since the hamstring injury. This is more of a PACER's

471
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: fade than a Bucks support ticket, right, But what if

472
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 3: Gianna's misses games one, two, and three. I'm still taking

473
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: the Bucks.

474
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: I packed that in.

475
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: I knew that he was going to be hampered, at

476
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: least at best. We see him back game three. Now,

477
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 3: Giannis is the same guy we saw knee explode in

478
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: Game one of the NBA Finals, came back a couple

479
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: days later, blocked DeAndre shot from damn near the free

480
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: throw line.

481
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 4: DeAndre mind, you were shooting a layup?

482
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 2: Right?

483
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 4: And we haven't seen DeAndre eighton since?

484
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 2: Wow?

485
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, boy, you know what? Cleave my guy? He helped

486
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 4: in Portland trying. He helped in Portland trying.

487
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding.

488
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: The last time I heard from DeAndre eight and is

489
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 3: that he could not get out of his drive because

490
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: it was too icy for him to make it to

491
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: the game.

492
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 4: And I didn't even hear that story. So that tells

493
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 4: you where I am with DeAndre a And I didn't

494
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 4: even hear that store. Yeah, I haven't heard him all

495
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 4: year long.

496
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 3: And I am also taking the Knicks over the seventy

497
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 3: six years. Ultimately, I've just looked at the seventy six's

498
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 3: body of work without Joellenb and I thought it's too hard.

499
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 3: It's just there's a lot on the floor there that

500
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: shows me that this team is exceedingly average. When the MVP,

501
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 3: a randing MVP is soon to be replaced by someone else,

502
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 3: probably Nicole Yoakins. But joellenb was the MVP last year

503
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 3: and was playing when available at an MVP level. But

504
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 3: now before we talked to Mark medeena coming up next

505
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 3: at Fox Sports Radio, NBA Insight, Let's kick it over.

506
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 2: To our MVP, Steve de Seger.

507
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 6: Hello, gentlemen, we will update NBA in a moment with details.

508
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 6: Is the next lead Philly by two with about eight

509
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 6: minutes to go. There is a no hitter in progress

510
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 6: at Philly, with the Philadelphia Phillies getting to host the

511
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 6: worst team in Major League Baseball, the Chicago White Sox,

512
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 6: who have just one road.

513
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: Win so far.

514
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 6: They are three and sixteen overall, and at the plate

515
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 6: they're oh for twenty one eight strikeouts two walks by

516
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 6: Zach Wheeler, the Phillies starting pitcher. He has thrown one

517
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 6: hundred two pitches through seven innings, and he has come

518
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 6: out to start the eighth with a nine to nothing

519
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 6: Phillies lead over the White Sox. Meanwhile, the Mets beat

520
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 6: the Dodgers in LA again, six to four. Dodgers with

521
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 6: a record of twelve and eleven. They've lost three straight

522
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 6: series for the first time since last summer, three straight

523
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 6: series at home for the first time in five and

524
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 6: a half years. At Cincinnati, the Red scored five times

525
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 6: in the first They now lead the Angels seven to

Speaker 6: the fifth inning, Tampa Bay beat the Yankees in ten

529
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 6: to nothing, and Miami won the first of a doubleheader

530
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 6: at the Cubs three to two. Now of the NBA,

531
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 6: we've got four games first round openers of the playoffs.

532
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,920

00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 6: Donovan Mitchell with thirty points Jared Allen eighteen rebounds. Game

534
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 6: Team two of the best of seven is Monday in Cleveland.

535
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 6: Then at Minnesota, the Timberwolves defeated Phoenix, won twenty to

Speaker 6: Edwards on the winning side thirty three points eighteen in

Speaker 6: the third at New York. After trailing early the next

00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 6: now lead Philadelphia eighty six seventy four just over eight

540
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 6: minutes to go. Joel Embiid, playing through a bad knee,

00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 6: with twenty three points eight rebounds for Philadelphia. Nick starred

542
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 6: Jalen Brunson with twenty points. That's on seven of twenty

00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 6: game Lakers at Nuggets. Denver has defeated the Lakers eight

545
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 6: straight times, including last year's West Finals. Sunday, four more

546

Speaker 6: East on Sunday, it'll be Tampa Bay at Florida, and

551
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 6: then Washington at the number one New York Rangers. Former

553
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 6: eighty three. Scottie Scheffler leads by one stroke at hilton

554
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 6: Head Island after a third round sixty three American Nelly

555
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,920

556
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 3: Back to you, thanks, Steve Martin VJ. Coming to you

557
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: live from the ti raq dot Com studios. Without further ado,

558
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 3: Let's get him on. If you listen to the station,

559
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 3: you know this voice, Mark Madeen, a Fox Sports Radio

560
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 3: NBA insider, Mark, how are you on the on the

561
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: start of the playoffs?

562
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 7: I am doing well man as we speak, Nicks eighty

563
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 7: seven six ers, eighty four seven, fifty eight left. Don't

564
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 7: turn this station because we'll give some good commentary on it.

565
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 3: So let's start with this game right now, because I'm

566
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: looking at this three point leading for the next right

567
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 3: now in the fourth quarter, a game that I think

568
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 3: the Knicks have had the upper hand for most of.

569
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 4: But it's interesting because and Being goes down with the injury.

570
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 3: He's back out there now, not necessarily at one hundred percent,

571
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 3: but with something that's Steve just said jumped out to me,

572
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson with twenty points on twenty four shots.

573
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 4: He's not going to play that poorly for the rest

574
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 4: of the series.

575
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 7: It is wild just how much he's been able to

576
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 7: take his game to another level, and they really need

577
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 7: it because Joyous Randall is out for this entire playoff rum.

578
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 7: But I suspect, yeah, seven to twenty four. We'll see

579
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 7: if that number changes in these last seven minutes. But

580
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 7: I expect that that number to go higher. So the

581
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 7: fact that the Knicks they're able to still stay afloat

582
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 7: even with the no Joyous Randall, no Jalen Brunson shooting efficiently,

583
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 7: this shows that they had a lot of depth and

584
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 7: they have a never quit attitude here.

585
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 4: Hey, Mark, what's going on?

586
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 7: Man?

587
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 4: I was talking about Tom Thibodeau. I don't hear enough

588
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 4: people giving this guy his props for having just the

589
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 4: only second team and he's a conferences here to win

590
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 4: fifty games.

591
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: But this is what he does everywhere he goes.

592
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 4: He takes over teams that's struggling and you blink twice

593
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 4: they got fifty plus wins and people is talking about them.

594
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 4: Talk more about that to Tom Thibodau on the job

595
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 4: he's been able to do with this team.

596
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 7: Well, I'm glad you've pointed that out because I agree

597
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 7: with you that Tom Thibodeau deserves more credit. I mean,

598
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 7: I think what's happened is that when they have someone

599
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 7: like Joyce Randall go down. So he talks to talk

600
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 7: as far as having everyone have that next man up.

601
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 7: The mentality, I mean, the reality is j is in

602
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 7: today's NBA, you need to have talent, you need to

603
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 7: have depth. But he's been able to maximize what he

604
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 7: has with og Ondanobi or Josh Harder, Jalen Brunson, Dante Devangenzo,

605
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 7: all talented guys, but the common denominator is that they

606
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 7: all have a toughness to them, a resiliency, and that's

607
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 7: all because of their head coach. And I think I

608
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 7: can't help but compare and contrast what you see with

609
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 7: the Knicks what you see with the Bucks. The Knicks

610
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 7: over achieved, well, the Bucks have underachieved. They have a

611
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 7: lot of talent, but they're always lamenting they don't have

612
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 7: Drew Holliday. They made coaching changes, but it's still not enough.

613
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 7: And I think because of that, this is I think

614
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 7: further illustrates the value of having a really good head

615
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 7: coach in Tom Thibodau know how to get the best

616
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 7: out of his players, really motivate them and give them

617
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 7: the kind of toughness that a team needs. To try

618
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 7: to make a playoff push.

619
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the Western Conference game that we saw

620
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 3: earlier today, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Phoenix Suns.

621
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 4: Now Hubie Brown and Mark Jones were on the call today.

622
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're going to be on the

623
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 3: call for every game in the series, but I love

624
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: those guys, so I'm not trying to take a shot.

625
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 3: But Hubie Brown in the fourth quarter was talking about

626
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 3: the bench scoring for the Timberwolves versus the bench scoring

627
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 3: for the Suns, and how if Phoenix wants a chance

628
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 3: in this series, the bench scoring has to increase, And

629
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 3: I was just wondering if you'd be paid attention.

630
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 2: They don't have a bench.

631
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 7: And fee well, you know, Eric Gordon shouldn't be a

632
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 7: score Let's see went h five from the field. I

633
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 7: think the larger point is that the Timberwolves, they have

634
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 7: a great starting lineup and they have a great bench.

635
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 7: Into what you were saying, the Suns are very top heavy,

636
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 7: and so I think that this is going to be

637
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 7: a competitive series because as long as you have a

638
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 7: healthy Kevin Durant and Devin Booker and Bradley Deal on

639
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 7: the floor, they always have a chance but Minnesota they're

640
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 7: the real deal. The fact that they were able to

641
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 7: win this game. Even though the Anthony Edwards had early

642
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 7: fout trouble, he still had that amazing second half. And

643
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 7: I think, yeah, and I think that, you know, it's

644
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 7: almost the inverse here. Karl Anthony Towns being back is great,

645
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 7: but they've had experience when Karl Anthony Towns was out

646
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 7: of having to rely on other guys, and I think

647
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 7: that that's allowed guys like Jane McDaniels, Rudy Gobert, Mike Connelly,

648
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 7: nas Reed really take ownership of this team and as

649
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 7: a result, when another Kai comes down there, they're able

650
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 7: to be a well oiled machine. I should also add

651
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 7: the Kayle Alexander Walker and so yeah, the Timberwolves, they

652
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 7: have vastly more depth than the Suns. But because that

653
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 7: big three is a dominant trio, I expect competitives to.

654
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 4: Shop over back to the Eastern Conference because you talked

655
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 4: about Milwaukee and them underachieving. I just told Martin, as

656
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 4: a sixth seed, I have the Pacers beating them in seven. Yeah,

657
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 4: it's out there. It's out there. It's out there. I

658
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 4: said it, and I said it with my chest too. Yeah,

659
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 4: I got them beating them in seven. I don't trust

660
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 4: Doc Rivers. Giannis is not going to start this series.

661
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 4: Middleton is off and on. They don't have the perimeter

662
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 4: defending that they did. They decided to they were gonna

663
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 4: trade that away. I just I look at this team

664
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 4: and they they struggled to finish the three seed, and

665
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 4: there were some other teams that and Martin mentioned the

666
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 4: Calves mailed it in the the closing night to get

667
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 4: the four to be able to play Orlando set player there.

668
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 4: So so this is not a true three This is

669
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 4: not a true three seed, and I think we all

670
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 4: know that. And I just think this is the year

671
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 4: where it really does come crashing down on Doc Rivers

672
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 4: and the job he's done over the pass with these

673
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 4: mega teams. Tell me I'm wrong, and why I'm wrong.

674
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 4: I think the Pacers upset them.

675
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 7: My reaction was not that you're wrong, but I'm glad

676
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 7: that someone went out there and made that prediction, because

677
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 7: if I had to make the prediction, I do think

678
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 7: Milwaukee Squeak Squeaks spy, but that is the key word.

679
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 7: Squeaks by Indiana could very easily win the series. They

680
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 7: want against against them in the plans form. I think

681
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 7: they've won the last five matchups against the Milwaukee Bucks.

682
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 7: The reason is their main identity, they get up and

683
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 7: down the floor. They're a fast break team in the Bucks.

684
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 7: Their main weakness is they can't play a lick of

685
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 7: transition defense. So that's weakness number one. You mentioned Yiannis.

686
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 7: Damian Lillard isn't fully one hundred percent either, and so

687
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 7: they have a lot of issues on their hands where

688
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 7: I wouldn't be surprised if Indiana pulls this one out.

689
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 7: I do think that Giannis comes back at some point

690
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 7: in the playoff series and changes it, and I think

691
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 7: Doc rivers He's not immune from criticism. But I will

692
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 7: say this, it has been a relative improvement defensively compared

693
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 7: to under Ager and Griffin. I think the bigger thing

694
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 7: is that talent has been underachieving. They also missed true holiday.

695
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 7: But I will say this, Docs shouldn't be complaining Lacker,

696
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 7: training camp, etc. This is a very talented team and

697
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 7: they're not playing up to their potential.

698
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 3: Let's talk about a team that needs to play up

699
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: to its potential real quick.

700
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 4: As we closed this conversation out, me and VJ.

701
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 3: Both agree the Boston Celtics should make short work of

702
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference up until at least the Eastern Conference Finals.

703
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 3: I said to me, if they lose more than four

704
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 3: games in the playoffs prior to reaching the finals, then

705
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 3: we got to look at this Boston team like, what

706
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: in the world is going on here? This team was

707
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 3: dominant through the regular season. What do you expect from

708
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: them through the postseason?

709
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 2: Real quick?

710
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 7: Well, I'm not expecting sweep or busts through the NBA Finals,

711
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 7: But yes, they do have to get to the NBA

712
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 7: Finals or this is a failed season now that they

713
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 7: have to win an NBA championship, or if it's a

714
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 7: failed season, well, the Denver Nuggets I think have a

715
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 7: lot to say, not necessarily, but it has to be

716
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 7: a competitive series at least, and we've seen to Celics

717
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 7: and Jason Tatum knock on the door learn some playoff lessons.

718
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 7: Now is the time to deliver when it matters most.

719
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 7: But yes, they do have to at least reach the

720
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 7: NBA Finals because it's night and day separation between them

721
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 7: and the rest of the field and the East.

722
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 3: I agree, just like its night and day separation between

723
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 3: you and every other NBA analyst out there, Mark Medina,

724
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 3: thanks for coming.

725

Speaker 3: Coming up next, we'll dive into this is a funny

729
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 3: and interesting story because you know, why would you not

730
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: want the goat in Atlanta.

731
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,239
Speaker 4: We'll dive into that one.

Speaker 7: VJ.

740
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 3: You wanted to talk about this and dropped on Wednesday. Yeah,

741
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 3: but you wanted to touch on this the Atlanta Falcons

742
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: and Bill Belichick.

743
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, because this story was really interesting to me because

744
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 4: we've gone back and forth with other people on Twitter

745
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 4: that follows to show you and I about how he

746
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 4: didn't get this job and I think his coaching career

747
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 4: has done. You do not, but it's really interesting. The

748
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 4: reason why the story struck me is because Craft's name

749
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 4: was thrown into it, and it makes me start to

750
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 4: really look at this whole Patriot, this Patriot dynasty, Patriot

751
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 4: way thing that really fell apart when one guy left

752
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 4: town and now and then you had the documentary and

753
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 4: people were happy about it, but not happy about it.

754
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: But the Craft and Belichick relationship, if.

755
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 4: The reports are true that they were kind of tipped

756
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 4: off by Robert Kraft of all the stuff that he

757
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 4: didn't like about Bill Belichick and what he does and

758
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 4: what Bill Belichick isn't and Bill Belichick and his circle

759
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 4: feeling and thinking that the job was theirs. That's crazy, man,

760
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 4: to think that an owner like Draft would do that.

761
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 4: After if you would talk to other people, this man

762
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 4: won you a bunch of Super Bowls who nobody knew

763
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 4: who you were until you got Bill Belichick and Tom Brady.

764
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 4: But just even deeper, bro, is that the fact that

765
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 4: Brady walks out the door. Think about this, guys? For

766
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 4: twenty years, can you guys even name ten name half

767
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 4: of the Patriot's first round draft picks?

768
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: Nope?

769
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 4: You know why because for so long they were like

770
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 4: twenty seventh, twenty eighth, thirtieth up. They traded out of

771
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 4: the first round. They'll take a tackle in the second

772
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 4: round from Youngstown State are a former quarterback in turn

773
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 4: receiver and Julian Edelman from a mid major school. Yeah, Kn'

774
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 4: State a mid major school.

775
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 2: Patrick, don't have that be who you got. Yeah, we'll

776
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: guess that one.

777
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 4: We'll guess that one too. But it just feels like, man,

778
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 4: for twenty years, the Patriot Way was Tom Brady, because

779
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 4: the minute he walked out the door that franchise is

780
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 4: now the number three pick in this draft and we're

781
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 4: talking about what quarterback they gonna take you, And the

782
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 4: fact that Kraft would even do that, and that kind

783
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 4: of shocked me a little bit.

784
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 3: Man to me, all of what we have seen. And

785
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 3: I'm not saying your point is a bad one. The

786
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 3: one that you just made. I think it's probably a

787
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 3: little bit more nuanced than that, because I don't think that.

788
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: I think Tom.

789
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 3: Brady, tom Brady following the Patriot Way up until he didn't,

790
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 3: was what allowed Bill Belichick to run it the way

791
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 3: that he ran it.

792
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 2: Right.

793
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 3: It's one of the things that Greg Popovich always said

794
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 3: about Tim duncan. One of the greatest things about Tim

795
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 3: Duncans that he wanted to be coached right and if

796
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 3: you can coach the best player on the team, he

797
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 3: can coach ever, you can coach everybody, right, you so.

798
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 3: But to me, this reeks and screams of a guy

799
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 3: who feels like he's not getting the proper credit. Oh,

800
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 3: everything that transpired, You mean to tell me that in

801
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 3: twenty four years you never shared a laugh with the

802
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 3: man in twenty four years, No, because Bill not funny

803
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 3: through twenty four year from Joe y'all, never, y'all never

804
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 3: had a beer together. Not only that he's your employee,

805
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 3: you cut them employed as one of the most important

806
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 3: positions in your organization and maintained his status as not

807
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 3: just coach but also GM for twenty four years. There

808
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 3: are people listening to this younger than to that length

809
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 3: of time. You mean to tell me that, you know, Hell,

810
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 3: I'm going up.

811
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: Here.

812
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 3: She wasn't even born at the time that Bill Belichick

813
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 3: got hired by Robert Kraft. You telling me that throughout

814
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 3: that entire time, it just was sour grapes.

815
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: You know, I refuse to believe it.

816
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 3: And the old reason why this comes out and then

817
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 3: this comes out now and then you see the documentary

818
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: on Apple plus all of that Apple TV it all

819
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 3: comes out because somebody's like, wait, Robert Craft is like, okay,

820
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 3: it's over, but.

821
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 2: Nobody's patting me on my back.

822
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 8: It was.

823
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 2: It's deeper than Scottie pivot is.

824
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 4: I'm just saying the same example. The story comes out

825
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 4: and this is, hey, hey, where's my where's my balloons?

826
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 2: Where's my At least Scottie Piven was playing defense? Yeah,

827
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 2: all right, you know what I'm saying. At least Scottie

828
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 2: Pivann was on the court. You are the owner of

829
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 2: the team. You know where your credit comes in the

830
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: bank account? All right, in the bank account.

831
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 3: As your team went up seven times the value from

832
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: when you bought it to right now today, that a

833
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 3: lot of it had to do with one singular decision

834
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 3: that you made twenty four years ago, hiring Bill Belichick.

835
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 4: So is this the new Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson.

836
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 4: We're gonna see them hugg it out like thirty.

837
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if.

838
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 4: They're not trying to be funny, Guy America, I'm not

839
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 4: trying to be funny. They both they both in the seventies. Okay,

840
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 4: like thirty years from now, not gonna happen to.

841
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 3: Your point though very much feels like the same way

842
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 3: you think you can do it better by yourself. That's

843
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 3: what it is. I'm not getting enough credit here. How

844
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 3: come nobody's talking about me? Is one of the greatest

845
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 3: owners of all time? Right, since that's a lift week

846
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: debate often I'm big sarcastic, right, No, hell, no one

847
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 3: talks to you know who do you got?

848
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 2: Is yours? Your goat? Owner?

849
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 4: Is it the Rudies, the Mars or the Crafts?

850
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 7: No?

851
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 4: I don't care about owners? Are you an owner?

852
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: Guy?

853
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 4: Do you care about owner?

854
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: Only when there's like gross mismanagement going around?

855
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 4: Okay, ye.

856
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: Happened all right now?

857
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, but as long as you're paying the bills

858
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 3: and willing to go to me. If you're not willing

859
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: to pay the luxury tax, also got a problem with

860
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 3: you whatever? Yeah, Like, because you own the you own

861
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 3: the freaking team, pay the pay them.

862
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: You got it?

863
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 3: Like if Denver, for whatever reason, right, let's say that,

864
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 3: Let's aypothetically the Denver Nuggets who just started with the Lakers.

865
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 4: Steve de Sacre will be all over that at the

866
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 4: top of the hour.

867
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 3: But you know, and let's say they lose in the

868
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: second round, and and the owner of the Denver Nuggets

869
00:38:58,640 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 3: is like, you know what, we got to move on

870
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 3: from Michael Porter Jr. Right because we don't want to

871
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 3: pay the luxury tax. You got you gotta pay the

872
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 3: tax when you got the guys to try to win,

873
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 3: right Like like when the Warriors that they were paying

874
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 3: the tax for all those years every year. That's what

875
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 3: that's what you're supposed to. That's what you're supposed to do.

876
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 3: It outside, Hey, you know what, I don't want to

877
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 3: hear not a mumbling word. I'll it's like it's like

878
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 3: Chris Rock. Everybody want credit for what they supposed to

879
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 3: be doing. No, this is what you're supposed to do

880
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 3: when you got to when you got a team that

881
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 3: can win, pay the tax.

882
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 4: But back to the point where you said, my point

883
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 4: you didn't agree with was Belichick was the Patriot, Pelichick

884
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 4: was the Patriots. It was a combination of the both

885
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 4: of them, That's what it was.

886
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 3: It was a combination of having somebody who was uniquely

887
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 3: driven from all the different things that had happened to

888
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 3: him and his life and Tom Brady, and also a

889
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 3: combination of having somebody who is a unique football strategist right,

890
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 3: Those two together really defined what the page because let's

891
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 3: be honest, if Tom Brady wasn't didn't have the attitude

892
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 3: that he had for the majority of the time that he.

893
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 4: Was in New England, we wouldn't have seen all the success.

894
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 3: If Bill Belichick was not coordinating those defenses the way

895
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 3: he was the primary time that he was there, we

896
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 3: would have been talking about Tom Brady.

897
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 2: In the same way we talk about Aaron Rodgers, because

898
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 2: he wouldn't have won.

899
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 3: Six Super Bowl oh out six super Bowls in New England.

900
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 4: Yea six in New England seven overall. Yeah, I still think,

901
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 4: like I said, the story was just interesting to me

902
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 4: because I think at some point like muslinging is unnecessary.

903
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 4: I much rather muddling while let's mustling. While I sit

904
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 4: right next to you. I'm not gonna leave it in mustling.

905
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 4: I'm mustling in your face, unbecoming on my opinion.

906
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 3: Coming up next, we'll dive back into the Western Conference playoffs.

907
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:42,040

Speaker 3: tries to sky for another block, I'll tell you what. Yeah,

925
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 3: go ahead, even right now, even in year twenty one,

926
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 3: Lebron James is still good for it.

927
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 4: Look, the man has found a way to find his highlights.

928

Speaker 3: Yeah, right now, you could tell hold that is you

929
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:38,399

00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 2: It is secade right now, is in college somewhere.

931
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 4: It's crazy because he has he had it, He's had

932
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 4: a few days off, he's rested. This is Lebron that's

933
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 4: always enjoyable to watch, whether you like her or not,

934
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 4: because he is goe full. You know what to the wall.

935
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 4: Right now, he's blocked two shots. He started three for three,

936
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 4: two for two for three ten points. It's two blocks

937
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 4: like he's he's getting going early and right now is

938
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 4: twenty two, uh, twenty one now twenty five twenty one

939
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 4: Lakers as they hit a three.

940
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 2: My man, Hugh hits a three from deep. Uh.

941
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:17,959
Speaker 4: My initial thoughts are, look the Uh, that's what my fault.

942
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 4: He's fromart. That's what I call.

943
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 2: I call who Hugh?

944
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 4: I was looking that I legitimately don't know who's just

945
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 4: who is Hugh?

946
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 2: You mean? Wait?

947
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 6: Really?

948
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah? Ly I called him you. I'm sorry, y'all got

949
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 2: little nicknames for I know.

950
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 3: That's why I was like, my bad. But I wasn't looking.

951
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 3: I was like, who the because normally I would have

952
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 3: seen you might have that. I would have filled it

953
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 3: ruy hot tomorrow for everybody else. But I like, I

954
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 3: was looking down. I'm like, I don't know who in

955
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 3: the hell is you? Yeah? Also to Lebron, did did

956
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 3: get did get it?

957
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 2: Give?

958
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 4: Trying to come from behind on on Jamal and get

959
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 4: it dumb but missed it? But I did this contesting shot? Yes,

960
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 4: he's contesting shots. He's got a ton of energy. Now,

961
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 4: I just told Patrick this, do a commercial break this.

962
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 4: Lebron is great for first half, but Ad. The Lakers

963
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 4: are best when Ad gets going first. It's the same

964
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 4: thing I say about the Clippers. When PG is aggressive early,

965
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 4: their offense flows better to everybody else. Kawhy's gonna do him,

966
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 4: just like Lebron's gonna do him. But Ady's a guy

967
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 4: that's gotta get going. So if you want to win

968
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 4: this series, you want Ad going first and then Lebron

969
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 4: feels in. Go back and look at last year when

970
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 4: they got swept. Lebron got off the great starts in

971
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 4: three of those games, and Ad got to blame the

972
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 4: next morning. Why because his stats weren't up there. But

973
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 4: the former list been shown. Get Ad going first, Lebron,

974
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 4: You're still great. You're still gonna get your twenty eight

975
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 4: nine seven. You're still gonna do that.

976
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,760
Speaker 2: You don't have to go early.

977
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 4: So my only downfall for the Lakers, and I picked

978
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 4: them for the series to be close. I don't think

979
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 4: it'll be a sweep l like last year. I got

980
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 4: the Nuggets winning the series, But I think it's closer

981
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 4: than people think. Is these games like this where he

982
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 4: gets going early, start to look down the box score

983
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 4: and it's very little from everybody else. Sooner or later

984
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 4: that's gonna run out of gas down to stretch. I

985
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 4: don't think he could carry and the show last year

986
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 4: for four games. He kind of ran out of gas

987
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 4: all four games to game four the elimination game, didn't

988
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 4: get a shot off at the buzzer, couldn't get a

989
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 4: shot off with with jam all on him for the

990
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 4: two extended series. So I don't like the formula, but

991
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 4: it's fun to watch early. Yeah, I think we're looking

992
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 4: at a short series here.

993
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 3: I know, the short five or six six, but a

994
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 3: six game series that feels like a sweep. You have

995
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 3: some six game series that feels like a seven game series.

996
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,479
Speaker 3: It's like, how did this? This was a hard fought

997
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 3: where we see every game down to the wire and

998
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 3: it just happens if the ball bouncers the right way.

999
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I'm seeing.

1000
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 3: That's what I'm intending to see out of New York

1001
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 3: and Philadelphia, for example, a six game series it feels

1002
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 3: like seven, like it feels like Philly really puts their

1003
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 3: best foot forward and tried their best one today, but

1004
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 3: one to that when Jalen Brunson has more shot attempts

1005
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 3: at points score.

1006
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta win, you got to. You gotta get

1007
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 2: that game.

1008
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 3: But with this, the Lakers and the Nugget, I know,

1009
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 3: people doing mental gymnastics left right in the center, trying

1010
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 3: to figure out how in the world does it make

1011
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 3: sense that the Lakers, you know, you know, they are

1012
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: in the first round, so they have two or three

1013
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 3: days off and all of this and that, and I

1014
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 3: get it, this is probably the best way.

1015
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 2: To beat the Denver Nuggets. But none of.

1016
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 4: Those ways were a good way.

1017
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 3: That's like, see, if you got to walk from Sherman

1018
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,959
Speaker 3: Oaks to Inglewood, you'd rather ride a bike, But neither

1019
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 3: one of them is more efficient than driving a car.

1020
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,919
Speaker 2: You'd rather get in the car, right, You'd rather good? Right,

1021
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 2: you can take the bus.

1022
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 4: If you can drive, you want to drive, But if

1023
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 4: you can drive, you'd rather drive.

1024
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 2: Can you get there? Sure? Right?

1025
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 4: Like can the Lakers get to the finals?

1026
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 2: Sure?

1027
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 4: But it's gonna be a long walk down to four

1028
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 4: or five?

1029
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 3: All Right, I'm picking the Nuggets here and then you know,

1030
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 3: called five?

1031
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 2: Why not?

1032
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 4: I was about to say I picked it in five.

1033
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 4: I just think that they I think they get one.

1034
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 4: I think they can get a game. The Nuggets aren't

1035
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 4: the same team they were like year, but just talent

1036
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 4: x's and o's, just energy, defending champions, the MVP Lebron,

1037
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 4: The guys like Lebron and Stephan Durant can just still

1038
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 4: dominate the talking, the talking points and the narratives of

1039
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 4: sports because of their names. But when you put the

1040
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 4: tape on, they don't play for nearly three other better

1041
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 4: teams in the league right now, and they just don't.

1042
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 4: The Nuggets are a lot of people think they're the

1043
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 4: second best team in basketball. They're not gonna drop a

1044
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 4: serious they.

1045
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 3: Have probably have them as the best team in basketball now.

1046
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 2: It's doing a little beat them like they did.

1047
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 4: Be doing a little.

1048
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 3: Thought process right thinking about how the a lot of

1049
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 3: for Boston, it's well, what can you do in the playoffs?

1050
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 3: What can you do in the finals. We've seen this

1051
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 3: Nuggets team get it done absolutely now. We've seen players

1052
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 3: outside Nicolejokic, namely Jamal Murray, have massive series and individual games.

1053
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 4: I want to spin back to Medina real quick. He

1054
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,280
Speaker 4: says something about Boston. He agree with you that Boston's

1055
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 4: got to get to the finals, I don't think I

1056
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 4: think Boston's got to get to the finals. I think

1057
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 4: Boston has to win the championship because if they lose

1058
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 4: the finals this year, Jason Tatum now has an oh

1059
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 4: to three record in the finals, he would be zero

1060
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 4: and three in the finals or the start of the year.

1061
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 2: He would need to win.

1062
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 4: Three to get the five hundred to get the fifty

1063
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 4: fifty percent in the finals, he would have to go

1064
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 4: win three and then win four till over. Like if

1065
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,479
Speaker 4: they don't. If they get to the finals this year

1066
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 4: the Celtics and they lose, guys, that's not a successful

1067
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 4: season for them. They were in the finals last year,

1068
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 4: they were in the finals up to to one on

1069
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:35,479
Speaker 4: the Warriors. They've been up all teams. They've had their opportunities. Sorry,

1070
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Eatern converce fondals last year, right, my bad.

1071
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 4: So he'll be oing to my correction, thank you brother. Uh,

1072
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 4: they'll be ohing two in the finals. But there's years

1073
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 4: the word I thought last year he should.

1074
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 3: Have to your point, didn't make it and the Eastern

1075
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 3: Confers finals lost of the eight seed.

1076
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, it just this, that's why they have to

1077
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 4: win it this day, got to get there. They have

1078
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 4: to win it. Man, Wolves in Phoenix. What's that feeling

1079
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 4: like with you? Man that it's got my attention? But

1080
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 4: if you and I both agreed, d is just gonna prevail.

1081
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 4: And it says don't have a.

1082
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 3: Bench, Well, to me, it's gonna come down to Carl

1083
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 3: Anthony Towns. Really, uh, Anthony Edwards has struggled against Phoenix,

1084
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 3: did not today, but has struggled against Phoenix in the

1085
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 3: previous matchups. But when you watch Phoenix, right, they got

1086
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 3: three guys who kind of played the same way, but

1087
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 3: really good way. And and Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, right,

1088
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 3: three bucket getters and in me and from my for

1089
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 3: my dollar. The more bucket getters you can get in

1090
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 3: the playoffs, the better the chances are that.

1091
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 2: You're gonna Yeah, I got score points. You gotta score points.

1092
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 2: You got. I got to score in the playoffs. You

1093
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 2: gotta score in the playoffs.

1094
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 3: You got and you gotta have guys as well, who

1095
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 3: when the first action doesn't work and there's seven seconds

1096
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 3: left on the shot clock, who can go and get

1097
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 3: and make their own shots. That's what we saw a

1098
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 3: lot in the first quarter with Kevin Durant, man he was,

1099
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 3: I mean, he.

1100
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 2: Locked locked in, locked in, locked in.

1101
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 3: So what I what I think though, It's the reason

1102
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 3: why I say it comes out of Car Anthony Towns

1103
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 3: is because I believe that Anthony Edwards is gonna be

1104
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 3: the type player who elevates his game in the playoffs.

1105
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 3: And we saw that today in the third quarter, right,

1106
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 3: we saw his ability. He can take over a game

1107
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 3: four stretches. What Carl the Towns is going to have

1108
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 3: to do. He is going to have to play well

1109
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 3: enough to make Kevin Durant guard him. If he makes

1110
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 3: kd play defense. Thirty five year old Kevin Durant, who

1111
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 3: I mean? And I'm not saying Kadi's a bad defender

1112
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 3: by any stretch, right, because he definitely goes out there,

1113
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 3: he competes improved, tremendous defensen. He's gonna go out there,

1114
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 3: he's gonna compete, he's gonna try hard. I'm not knocking

1115
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 3: that by any stretch of the imagination. But there's only

1116
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 3: so much gas you got in the tank if you

1117
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 3: make him bang in the post a little bit like

1118
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony Towns picked up two dumb fouls today back

1119
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 3: to back in the third quarter in the middle of

1120
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 3: ants run, It's like, what are you doing?

1121
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 2: Pal, Like, you gotta be locked in in a.

1122
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 3: Way that you haven't been locked in previously in your career,

1123
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,359
Speaker 3: and you've got to make KD be an issue on

1124
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 3: the defensive end, right, because if he's running around chasing

1125
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 3: Carl Anthony Towns off of screens, taking Carl Lidy Towns

1126
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 3: and and banging in the post, that allows Rudy Gobert

1127
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 3: to float a little bit, that allows Jaden McDaniel to

1128
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 3: guard one of Bradley Beal or Devin Booker, whoever is

1129
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 3: getting hot and just put on Jaden McDaniel tell him

1130
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 3: to turn off the water over there, if you know,

1131
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 3: because that's what that that's what he that's what that's

1132
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 3: his rolling the team, right, that's his rolling the team.

1133
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 3: The more that Jada McDaniels is guarding Kevin Durant, the

1134
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 3: better it is for this series, for for the Philadelphia,

1135
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 3: for the Phoenix Sons, not to phil that's the other

1136
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 3: P Phillies, the other P. No, it's for the Phoenix Sons.

1137
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 3: But that's why I think ultimately Minnesota will be victorious

1138
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 3: in this because I do think that Carl, especially as

1139
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 3: the season for series progresses and he recovers more and

1140
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 3: more gets back more in game shape after missing a

1141
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,439
Speaker 3: healthy chunk of the second half of the season. Uh,

1142
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 3: That's why I'm looking at Minnesota there and I think

1143
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 3: games six, I got this seven.

1144
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 4: I think there's a seven. The fire power, like you said,

1145
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 4: three dudes that could just go get buckets. They're they're gonna.

1146
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 4: That's gonna when you one game alone, that on when

1147
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 4: you won game alone. Now, as far as Durant's concerned,

1148
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 4: my thought process on the Durant matchup is, I'm not

1149
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 4: worried about Durant Guardian. I know they're going to be

1150
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 4: physical with him because they saw what happened when Lurant

1151
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 4: get when you get physical or Durant, he doesn't like that, Hey,

1152
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 4: you get him off his spot, and that's what happened.

1153
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 4: As the game went on, they said, Okay, he's getting

1154
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 4: too many of these little early mid range jumpers. We're

1155
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 4: not doing this. Let's get back to physicality, and let's

1156
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 4: get back to doing what we do defensively, and you

1157
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 4: saw the defense really settle in and then just Phoenix's bench,

1158
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 4: it's just I've been talking about it all year long.

1159
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 4: When you make a trade for a guy like Durant,

1160
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 4: you have to give up a lot, notably two or

1161
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 4: three guys on your bench. Goes and trades like that

1162
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,839
Speaker 4: just over history. Just go look down the big mid

1163
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 4: season acquisitions or this, this team got this, this, this,

1164
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 4: it's either a bunch of draft picks. Are you gotta

1165
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 4: give up like three of your bench guys? And Phoenix

1166
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 4: can use some of those guys. I know they just

1167
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 4: gave Grayson that in an extension, which I thought was ridiculous.

1168
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 2: But hey, what they found the money? We see? Yeah, exactly.

1169
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 4: Well, but you know what, No, I'm not gonna say

1170
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 4: that because I'm the person that always says, trust me,

1171
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 4: they'll find money. When he's like, oh, they don't have anybody,

1172
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 4: Yes they do. They telling us they don't have no money.

1173
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 4: They'll figure out.

1174
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 2: How to do it.

1175
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,280
Speaker 4: They don't have to tell us every nook and cranny

1176
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 4: that they move money and redo contracts. Everything does have

1177
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 4: to be reported on that level. But I like it

1178
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 4: as a long series though, because Ant's the youngest star.

1179
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 4: But we're gonna see can you live up to that

1180
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 4: third quarter?

1181
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 2: Great?

1182
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 4: Get third quarter today, But can you live up to

1183
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 4: that over the period of a series. I still have

1184
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 4: the Wolves moving on, but I think it's a long

1185
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 4: series of seven games.

1186
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:39,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1187
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 3: My point with Durant playing defense is not that he's

1188
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 3: not a capable defender, that he's not like but Carl

1189
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 3: Anton Towns go, you know, you go harder Durant.

1190
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 2: Now he's got two first quarter fouls. Okay.

1191
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 4: Now, now now say, no, well, that's not gonna happen

1192
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 4: because Carl Anthony Towns is gonna shoot jump us.

1193
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 2: That's what we know that.

1194
00:52:58,600 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 8: Be.

1195
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 3: He's gotta he's gotta make Kevin Durant okay, okay, okay,

1196
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 3: even and some of the you know that goes into

1197
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 3: it fatigue in general, right, you know what I'm saying,

1198
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 3: just a standard fatigue that occurs throughout the throughout a game.

1199
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 3: It's a lot harder when you're not playing a guy

1200
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 3: who's just either gonna camp under the basket or just

1201
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 3: he's not.

1202
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 4: Gonna he's not gonna beat and he should. You're right,

1203
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 4: that's what he should do. But he's not going to

1204
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 4: just put his back to Durant and punish Durant. No,

1205
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 4: he And that's sad. Because you that's what you should do.

1206
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 4: Everybody can see you're bigger. You know he's gonna be

1207
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 4: on the perimeter shooting three. Oh okay, well Dad, that

1208
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:36,919
Speaker 4: makes me feel that, It makes me feel my seven

1209
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:37,359
Speaker 4: game series.

1210
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 2: I feel a little better about that. Yeah.

1211
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 3: But I think that that's the key for for because again,

1212
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 3: if you take Kevin Durant off of the floor at

1213
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,760
Speaker 3: any point in time, Devin Booker off of the floor anytime.

1214
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 3: Devin Booker played terrible today, But you take one of

1215
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 3: those guys out at any moment in time right now,

1216
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you got three bucket getters, and

1217
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 3: instead of that, you have now two guys, and now

1218
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 3: somebody off the bench.

1219
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 2: Josha Kogi.

1220
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 4: Why does Booker get Why don't we bangle him more?

1221
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 4: Why why we tear some dudes down? Why don't we

1222
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 4: keep letting Booker?

1223
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 3: You're the one dreamt hitting the drum every time Devin

1224
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 3: Booker's name is mentioned.

1225
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 2: So I don't know what you mean.

1226
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 4: We in a good way. No, I don't care about

1227
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 4: to say I'm on them.

1228
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 3: I'm on them. I think you are the change you'd

1229
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 3: like to see. Coming up next, we will review the

1244
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 3: see this show posted right after we get off of

1245
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 3: the air. Let's go ahead and die down into the

1246
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 3: rest of the Western Conference. As we watched the Lakers

1247
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 3: and the Nuggets said it off, we already had the

1248
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 3: Timberwolves and the Suns. Let's go ahead and preview some

1249
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 3: of the other matchups there. Let's jump to the Clippers

1250
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 3: and the MAVs. Man and well, you know what, let's

1251
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 3: go Pelicans and Thunders. Because I think this is an

1252
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 3: easy one. I think the Pails can steal one phil One.

1253
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 3: Not sure how long Zion's gonna be out.

1254
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 2: B I's off and on.

1255
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 4: But when b I's on, you know, we saw last

1256
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 4: night he he got into his own last night where

1257
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 4: that that's the BI that makes me think of Jason Tatum,

1258
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant as Brandon Ingram said he's not an All Star,

1259
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 4: but they send the double teams to me. Yeah, yeah,

1260
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 4: pretty much.

1261
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 2: But not only that.

1262
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 4: I tweeted about him getting binched in the playing game.

1263
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 4: He was off the floor halfway through the fourth quarter

1264
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 4: and Willie Green did not bring him back in, but

1265
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 4: he had a terrible game.

1266
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 2: Him and DJ didn't come back in after Zion left exactly.

1267
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 4: So if that sent the message, I thought, he answered

1268
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 4: the message they don't have enough power for the Thunder.

1269
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't watched The Thunder, and

1270
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 4: many of you have not, don't don't be capping on

1271
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 4: four to twenty. Tell the truth today. Okay, this team

1272
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 4: is really good. They got some young guns, all right,

1273
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 4: Gilga's Alexander, you know, probably should be MVP. I just

1274
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 4: think that it's gonna go to yogic. But sitting at

1275
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 4: thirty five and six, home. Grin seems like to be

1276
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 4: the prodigy kid coming out of uh Gonzaga that he was,

1277
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 4: you know, touted to be. They they did have a

1278
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 4: really good basketball team here. I don't think they will

1279
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 4: go win it all. I don't even think they get

1280
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,879
Speaker 4: to the Eastern Conference finals. But I like this in five.

1281
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 4: But I think the Pales if BI has a moment

1282
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 4: in CJ and if they can get Zion back a game,

1283
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 4: I don't we don't know how long.

1284
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 2: Is it's gonna be.

1285
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 4: I think they can steal won. But I think the

1286
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 4: Thunder move on here.

1287
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:50,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think the Thunder move on as well.

1288
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 3: I mean this thing, we're we're doing a lot of

1289
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 3: ifs and butts, uh with Zion being hurt, you know,

1290
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 3: ultimately without Zion being there.

1291
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 2: That's kind of where it starts to starts and stops

1292
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 2: with me.

1293
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 3: Unfortunately for my dad, who is a big New Orleans

1294
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 3: Pelicans fan, who is sick about it.

1295
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 4: He should be man because he almost beat the Lakers

1296
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 4: by himself the other night, the Lakers one night listen

1297
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 4: and this is not even excuse, it just is what

1298
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 4: it is. I thought the Lakers closed that game out

1299
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 4: because Zion wentn't on the court.

1300
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 2: Zion could.

1301
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 4: They couldn't stop him. And I was impressed because I

1302
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 4: didn't think Zion had that in him.

1303
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 2: And Shack at.

1304
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 4: Halftime toady because he ended up hurting himself. Yeah, Shaq said,

1305
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 4: you got twenty. Now let me see if you go

1306
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 4: if you want to be that guy, you want to

1307
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 4: be that guy, go get another twenty.

1308
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 2: But he's right.

1309
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 4: Shaq will get knocked for some of the stuff he says,

1310
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 4: but he is right. If you get twenty in the

1311
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 4: first half, why can't you get fifteen to twenty in

1312
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 4: the second half. You're in a zone, your dominant, go dominate.

1313
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 4: And that's what he did until he got hurt. But

1314
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 4: without him they have zero shot. But this Thunder team

1315
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 4: and they're good. I just don't think they can go

1316
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 4: the long haul. They can go the marathon, Clippers and Maps.

1317
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 4: This is my favorite series right here, and I'm gonna

1318
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 4: take the Clipper is in seven. I'm gonna take the

1319
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 4: clips of seven because I believe Kawhi. It feels like

1320
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 4: Kawhi will be back at some point. I don't think

1321
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 4: this is a repeat of what happened before. I think

1322
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 4: this might have been a little low management. There's something there,

1323
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 4: but I think a little lows management. I love afl Ree.

1324
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 4: I really do like Luca. I'm not a huge Luca fan,

1325
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 4: but I don't just like him as much as other

1326
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 4: people do. But I do think Tyler's coaching and having

1327
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 4: Powell playing as well as he's playing, Brody's gonna be

1328
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 4: huge in this series. And Zubac on the glass, I

1329
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 4: think they can get a seven game series. I don't

1330
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 4: know how far the clips go, but I'll take him

1331
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:33,959
Speaker 4: over to the match with seven.

1332
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm taking the Mavericks here because I do think

1333
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 3: that Kawhi Leonard is going to be not I think

1334
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 3: he might be cooked, and if he does come back,

1335
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 3: I think he will be hampered by the knee injury.

1336
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 2: There. I that's the one.

1337
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 4: I do feel like this might just be history repeating.

1338
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 2: Itself like we saw.

1339
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just like we saw, like you talking

1340
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 3: about the first the first half of this segment with Zion,

1341
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 3: it was like that.

1342
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 2: It was a perfect microcosm for his career.

1343
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 3: If you look at the history of Kawhi leonards career,

1344
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 3: he has been healthy through approximately two postseason playoff runs,

1345
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 3: and those two they competed for a championship, you know, and.

1346
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 2: Ended up winning one.

1347
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 3: I think now, if Kawhi Leonard is healthy, he's one

1348
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 3: of the top probably seven eight players in the league

1349
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 3: when when and when he's on and going and everything

1350
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 3: is as it should be. But we haven't seen that

1351
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 3: in quite some time, and there's a reason why people

1352
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 3: not even having them on the top ten list. Like

1353
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 3: he was more durable this season than we've seen in

1354
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 3: years press and if it was, you know, if you

1355
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 3: could play forty games and then go to the playoffs

1356
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 3: not be all over the clip, you know, but that's

1357
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 3: just not the way. There ain't no strike shortened season

1358
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 3: happening right now. It's just not the way it goes.

1359
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 4: No bubble year. How many games six? Okay, wow, so

1360
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 4: you got them, so then they must be stealing. They

1361
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 4: gotta be stealing games one and two. Uh, hear in

1362
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 4: your eyes there? So the next round after that, man,

1363
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 4: give me the clip and plus two.

1364
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember.

1365
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 3: Like Lucas lost to the Clippers twice in the playoffs

1366
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 3: so far, but in those two series he was incredible.

1367
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 2: He was giving him work. And this is back.

1368
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 4: The first one was in the bubble right. So this

1369
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 4: is four years ago.

1370
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 3: This was when Kawhi and Paul George were regarded as

1371
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 3: two of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA. They're

1372
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 3: still very good, but I'm talking about they were talking

1373
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 3: about that that was.

1374
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 4: The gold standard perimeter defense and lucag.

1375
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 2: My boy, was doing the Congress Live.

1376
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 4: To the to the backboard guy and Luca, Luca reminds

1377
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 4: me a lot of Paul Pierce. And I say that

1378
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 4: in a sense of he's not fast yet.

1379
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 2: Yet, he's so so okay. I'll say it like this fight.

1380
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 2: I'll just be real. He's so slow.

1381
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 4: Compared to like other NBA players, but you can't stop

1382
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 4: him from getting anywhere he wants to go. And it

1383
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 4: was the same with Paul Pierce.

1384
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 2: Paul.

1385
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 4: Chris Weber was that type of guy. Chris Webber was

1386
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 4: never a spind quick in the post guys. It was

1387
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 4: very methodical, it was very thought out. But he can

1388
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 4: get wherever. He won against Rashid, against Duncan, against Shack,

1389
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 4: against Garnet, those were the big minue he was going

1390
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 4: against in the Western Conference guys, and he can get

1391
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 4: wherever he won it whenever he wanted to get there

1392
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 4: and either make the play or make the place for

1393
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 4: somebody else or make the play for himself.

1394
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 8: Man.

1395
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 4: So second round, give me the Thunder over the Clips.

1396
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 4: I'll take the Nuggets over the over the Wolves. And

1397
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 4: then Eastern Conference Finals. I think we get the one

1398
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 4: and two c once again with the Wolves. I just

1399
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 4: car Anthony Towns to me. I just think he's gonna

1400
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 4: be a jump shooter and that's gonna cost them. And

1401
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 4: I'm not sure Ant's ready to take that step yet. Young,

1402
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,680
Speaker 4: great player, but are you that guy that could take

1403
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 4: your team to a conference finals this young I don't

1404
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 4: and beating either Lebron and the Lakers or the defending

1405
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 4: champions in three time MVP and Yokich not.

1406
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 2: Sure about that.

1407
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 4: And then West Conference Finals, I have the Thunder and

1408
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 4: the Nuggets. I got the Nuggets winning out of that

1409
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 4: and going back to the finals to defend the championship.

1410
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 3: VJ says he's not sure if Anthony Edwards is that guy.

1411
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,439
Speaker 3: One guy I know definitely is that guy. That's Steve

1489
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 3: All right, Well we'll see how that goes in just

1490
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,919
Speaker 3: about ten minutes from now. But coming up right now, VJ,

1491
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 3: let's go ahead and dive in to the series with

1492
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 3: the lower body injuries Bucks and the Indiana Pacers.

1493
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 4: This to me is the one that everybody has on

1494
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 4: their on their.

1495
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 3: Schedule right there's upsets, upset, special loading.

1496
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 4: And I have a feeling you're one of those people.

1497
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 4: Here you are, I'm definitely one of them. Give me

1498
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 4: a game seven. I want it in seven games.

1499
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:17,479
Speaker 2: They won't.

1500
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 4: They can't beat them in six. I think the Bucks

1501
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 4: can beat them in six, but I don't think the

1502
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 4: Bucks can beat them in seven. The Pacers have to

1503
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 4: just do what they do. Get up and down the floor,

1504
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 4: shoot the ball, go score Tyres. Yeah, he's got a hamstring.

1505
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 4: Guess guess what, News flash, America. Everybody hurt right now

1506
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 4: in the NBA. There's not a healthy team in the

1507
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 4: NBA playoffs right now. Look what just happened in the

1508
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 4: playing We just lost Jimmy Butler and Zion into playing.

1509
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 4: So everybody's hurt right now.

1510
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 2: Go out and do what you do. One hundred and

1511
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 2: twenty three hundred and twenty four points.

1512
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 4: At night is what they do. They will go out

1513
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 4: and they will get that out of the Bucks. Defense

1514
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 4: metric wise has looked better, but we're still seeing them

1515
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 4: drop these late season games to these really bad teams,

1516
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 4: putting up when the one twenties and one thirties on

1517
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 4: him for this better improved metric team, bro, I just

1518
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 4: it's just Doc Rivers all over again. And I don't

1519
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 4: even mean the bang on the guy like that, But

1520
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 4: I'm just going with history. I'm going with what i've seen,

1521
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 4: and whenever he has a really talented team and there's

1522
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 4: an upset alert, that's they're in the team capable of

1523
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,680
Speaker 4: doing it. They've done it to him. So give me

1524
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 4: the Pacers here, and maybe there's gotta be a lower

1525
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 4: seed to win one of these. All this isn't going chalk,

1526
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 4: so this is my lower seed. Phoenix would have been

1527
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 4: a cool pick. They don't have any bench. This team's

1528
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 4: got a bitch, they got a star, and they got

1529
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 4: a wounded Bucks team in front of him. Give me

1530
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 4: the paces in seven.

1531
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 3: I just have trouble And I'm not none of your

1532
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 3: analysis I do, I terrible disagree with. But what a

1533
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 3: disastering for the Milwaukee Bucks if that's the way this

1534
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 3: thing plays out. I just have trouble imagining going out

1535
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 3: that them going out that sad, that meekly, that that

1536
01:07:56,880 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 3: just that that would be just incredibly disappointing.

1537
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 2: Real Milwaukee was in like a lion out like a lamp.

1538
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 4: We've seen Doc River teams that we've said this about before. Mark,

1539
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 4: I can't imagine that they would lose in the bubble

1540
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 4: like that. I can't imagine that they would give up

1541
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 4: a three one.

1542
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 2: I can't. We keep saying this.

1543
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 3: There are things that like like Ben Simmons not duncking

1544
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 3: the ball sent the Philadelphia think the wrong way right

1545
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 3: in the bubble, they said. It's been widely reported that

1546
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,680
Speaker 3: they all wanted to go back home, right, And I

1547
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 3: think that is now why I don't take anything away

1548
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 3: from winning a championship in the bubble, because again, everybody

1549
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 3: had to deal with the circumstances. Everybody had to deal

1550
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 3: with the same, you know, all the variables were the

1551
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,600
Speaker 3: same for everyone. So I don't have an issue with like,

1552
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 3: I don't try to discredit that championship.

1553
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 2: I can. I can feel like, yo, I.

1554
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 3: Just want to go home dog, like I was quarantining

1555
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:53,600
Speaker 3: by myself. It was working out just fine, you know.

1556
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 3: So twenty twenty is a weird one for me. I'm

1557
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:58,720
Speaker 3: not here to try to defend Doc Rivers in the postseason, right,

1558
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 3: He's had a lot of short.

1559
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 2: Covers in a lot of this. But I do think

1560
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:03,520
Speaker 2: that some of it can be explained.

1561
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,440
Speaker 3: But after a while you start making so many explanations

1562
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 3: it sounds like you make an excuse.

1563
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's not just him too, Yannis, Sir, I

1564
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 4: hope you seeing this, and I hope you're listening. Probably won't,

1565
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 4: that's fine, but they're start it's starting to look like

1566
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 4: even yourself you can now be tagged with being injury prone.

1567
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 2: Something continues to happen to you every single.

1568
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 4: Year, even all the way back to the bubble. The

1569
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 4: year you didn't get hurt, they won a championship. But

1570
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 4: guess what, everybody else in the Eastern Conference got hurt.

1571
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 4: It's just the facts. I'm not making excuses for it,

1572
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 4: but that's the facts.

1573
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 2: Think about it.

1574
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 4: They played the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference finals.

1575
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 4: Atlanta two years later is not even in the playoffs.

1576
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 4: What almost essentially kind of the same team, and they've

1577
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 4: added talent. They added a guard Murray, who could go

1578
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 4: get his own bucket when he won. However he want,

1579
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 4: where he wants, or whoever he wants. So Giannis, you're

1580
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 4: you're on the clock here too, buddy. You gotta you

1581
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:57,639
Speaker 4: gotta find a way to get back on the court.

1582
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 2: They sy you is you, and is you?

1583
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 4: And doc is Joannison Dock. They no one else could

1584
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 4: be blamed. They're not gonna say Middleton in this or

1585
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 4: whoever in it. It's gonna be those two guys. They're

1586
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,040
Speaker 4: both on the clock with this, and like you said,

1587
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 4: I think it in I think it ends badly. I'm

1588
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 4: standing strong on them, not changing my mind. Give me

1589
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 4: the pacers in this, one man, one of these lower

1590
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 4: teams are gonna win Martin. So that was the Dallas Mavericks.

1591
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 4: The four or five is some man. I'll tell you this,

1592
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:22,680
Speaker 4: I'll be honest with you. I think Dallas is on

1593
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 4: a better role right now. But I think over time

1594
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:29,719
Speaker 4: of a series, I trust ty Low's coaching. I trust

1595
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 4: his roster moves, his rotation. He's been pushing the right

1596
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 4: buttons on the bitch went. Once he got Brodie back,

1597
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 4: he's in power back. Those both those guys were bitch players,

1598
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 4: big time bitch players that were both hurt, both knocked out.

1599
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 4: So at that point I thought he got the rotation going,

1600
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 4: vague got going better. I think the bitch over the

1601
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 4: long haul of a series, I'll be why they pulled

1602
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 4: it off. I just can't imagine Luca. Luca's gonna have

1603
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 4: a bad game. He's gonna shoot back, Kyrie's gonna have

1604
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 4: a bash.

1605
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 3: I do not predict either one of those things to happen.

1606
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 3: I do not think that Luca will have a bad game.

1607
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 3: Really yeah, I think they. I mean, if it is

1608
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 3: a bad game, it'll be like a quote unquote bad

1609
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 3: game like Jalen Brunton had today where he was that's

1610
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:11,640
Speaker 3: a bad game when you have he was impacting the

1611
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 3: game all over the place.

1612
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 4: Well, Luca's gonna do that because he passes the ball

1613
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 4: to But we know for them to win a championship,

1614
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 4: for them to move on to the next level and

1615
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 4: be that squad, Lucas gonna have to lead them there,

1616
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 4: distributing but also scoring too. He's there, He's there, He's

1617
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 4: there one A.

1618
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,600
Speaker 3: I don't think that'll have Lucas Stohnsons has shown he

1619
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 3: will not have a problem doing that.

1620
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 2: Jack He's hey, Jackson, he will be happy. He's a gunner.

1621
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 3: Right now, the Denver Nuggets trailing the Lakers by two

1622
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:42,560
Speaker 3: as Nicola Jokis hits a jump hook forty seven to

1623
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 3: forty nine to forty seven with four minutes left in

1624
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 3: the second quarter. Nuggets just wrapping up a ten nothing

1625
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 3: run over the last two minutes and thirteen seconds of

1626
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 3: this game, and I think that's what's going to be eventually.

1627
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 3: What doves the Lakers in throughout this period is when

1628
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 3: they stop scoring, the Nuggets are not going to stop

1629
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 3: right so that like, who've seen this Lakers team have

1630
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 3: ebbs and flows throughout the year, and they'll come on

1631
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 3: big time in the fourth quarter.

1632
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis with twenty in the first half, that's huge

1633
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 2: for the Lakers.

1634
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 3: But again, when you're looking at guys like I mean

1635
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 3: and D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reeves, God bless them, I

1636
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 3: don't think that they are necessarily the type of guys

1637
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 3: that you are.

1638
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 2: That's the foul. That's a crazy foul.

1639
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 4: Lebron just shoved Jabal Murray in the chest as he

1640
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 4: shot a three to one and right in front of

1641
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:29,599
Speaker 4: the rest.

1642
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 3: That's a three point that I was like that, that's

1643
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 3: a foul coming up next. So let's go ahead and

1644
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 3: get to it. Who you got Patrick the Pressures on

1649
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 3: just like Brian Alberts did saying Josh Hart is him

1650
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,639
Speaker 3: college and now in the NBA. Don't I know about

1651
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,640
Speaker 3: Josh Hart's college career as he made some of his

1652
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 3: legendary moments against the University of Michigan, a team I

1653
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 3: was rooting for heavily, the New York Villanova Wildcats. As

1654
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 3: you see Jalen Brunson and Dontdi Evintenzo on either side

1655
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 3: of Josh Hart as well.

1656
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:12,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really good.

1657
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 4: Those Villanova kids are always tough man. You go back

1658
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 4: to Jamiir Nelson, I'm sorry, Philly kids, he's from Philly.

1659
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 4: Didn't play it Villanova, but Villanova gets that feeling. And

1660
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 4: I know, I know played int Saint Joseph's St.

1661
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 2: Josep.

1662
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 4: Yeahyeah, he played Saint Joseph. But Philly kid, I'm sorry,

1663
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 4: Philly came into my mond Gast with Villanova is they

1664
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 4: get a lot of those Philly kids to buy into

1665
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 4: that toughness. Jay Wright was a hard nosed, tough coach

1666
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 4: like that. But I ain't gonna lie. Brian Alberts, That's

1667
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 4: the first heart tweet I've ever seen in my life.

1668
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 4: I swear to you So congratulations to you, brother.

1669
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 3: A better I follow tweeted, someone who like bets all

1670
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 3: the time tweeted that he thinks Josh Hart is the

1671
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 3: best player in the NBA, which means he probably catches

1672
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 3: overs on rebounds or something along that way. But speaking

1673
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 3: of tough, let's see how tough Patrick made.

1674
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 2: Who you got? Alright, Martin Vja, it is now that

1675

1679
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 2: you got, we're gonna go with the theme. It is

1680
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,640
Speaker 2: NBA with the playoffs right now going on. We got

1681
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:32,679
Speaker 2: round one. Because of playoffs, we're gonna stick in the NBA.

1682
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna go with underrated and never forgotten NBA players.

1683
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 2: So with let's take it with the first three hints.

1684
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 2: Number one, guys, this man has made the first team

1685
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 2: and second team, not in the same year, of course,

1686
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 2: all a CC once in his collegiate career. Number two

1687
01:14:56,720 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 2: he is a former first round pick in the NBA draft.

1688
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:09,679
Speaker 2: And we're gonna go with number three. He has played

1689
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 2: in two oversea leagues. Uh, after his NBA career been overseas.

1690
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 2: We're going one in.

1691
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 4: One in Canada and one in the Middle East. I

1692
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 4: got a guess, okay, go for it, Trajan langdon.

1693
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 3: No, but good, guess good poll Canada and the Middle East.

1694
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 3: He played in Canada and the Middle East. First second

1695
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 3: team all acc in two or three years. In the

1696
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:40,839

Speaker 2: Shared.

1813
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:34,640

1814
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:35,360

1851
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm not.

1852
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:08,639
Speaker 3: But the the genesis of the game is so people

1853
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 3: were listening in their cars, can play alone, play along O.

1854
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 2: They played along, They played along, and everybody asked was wrong.

1855
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 6: So we got to find a happy medium here.

1856
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1857
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 4: I think somebody back in somebody back in Maryland driving

1858
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:23,879
Speaker 4: in the d V got it though. Trust me, absolutely,

1859
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:28,160
Speaker 4: some older guys like that's Albert Kine they talking about

1860
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:30,679
Speaker 4: right there to dicapro like the pointing and the clicking.

1861
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah with the beer.

1862
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 4: Trust me, somebody got it, Mart and I know one

1863
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 4: in California got it.

1864
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 6: It's it's in the studio. There's no happiness. That's the

1865
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:42,040
Speaker 6: happy medium.

1866
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,800
Speaker 3: I can't believe you didn't know about the guy playing

1867

1869
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 2: like what we did cover the year in day ninety Patrick,

1870
01:23:55,920 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 2: the whole commercial praise. He's on this computer, he counted

1871
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:03,440
Speaker 2: the words and his Wikipedia.

01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,920

Speaker 3: More nine seasons, fourteen got a lock in the Albert

01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean seventeen points.

01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 4: Thirty nine thousand short of Lebron?

1907
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:31,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1908
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 4: I actually now now as a joke, I'm gonna use

1909
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:36,680
Speaker 4: Alburt King be like, yeah, you know, Albert King, that's

1910
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 4: my man. Yeah, but our younger brother Yeah, that's my cousin.

1911
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 4: We got they had different fallfas, so I'm from the

1912
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 4: mama's side. Yeah, Albert King, Uh yeah, NHL playoffs, man,

1913
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:46,599
Speaker 4: I always like to talk hockey because we have people.

1914
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 4: There were people in boxing. Hey, why don't you guys

1915
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 4: talk hockey guys on hockey fans when Brandon was producing

1916
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 4: the show. You know, Brandon is a big hockey guy,

1917
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 4: so we did talk it. So just think of a

1918
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 4: little preview. I know you say you don't care, but

1919
01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:58,519
Speaker 4: there are some listeners out there that do, specially out

1920
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 4: here in La as the King. They did win an

1921
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 4: overtime game the other night against the Black Hoss to

1922
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 4: get the seven seed. They will take on that Edmonton

1923
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 4: Oilers for the third straight postseason. I'm very interesting, very

1924
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 4: excited about this. I'll be at a few games at

1925
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:13,760
Speaker 4: least their home games cover and get a chance to

1926
01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,799
Speaker 4: see Coconoor McDavid, which people believe is the best hockey

1927
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 4: player pound for pound. I'm on agreement with that. They

1928
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 4: do get to avoid the Dallas Stars, and the Dallas

1929
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 4: Stars are just rolling right now. You know that easily

1930
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 4: could have been a step year. Buddy from mlbbro dot

1931
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 4: Com mister Nick Hamilton, we were talking about this the

1932
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 4: other night. He definitely wanted to avoid the Stars. With

1933
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 4: me being a big Ranger fan. President Cup winners, Rangers

1934
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 4: won the President Club best record home ice threw out.

1935
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:44,720
Speaker 2: I think this might be the year.

1936
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 4: I'm not sure just yet, but it feels like ninety four.

1937
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:52,280
Speaker 4: Why because that's the last time the Rangers won the

1938
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 4: President Cup. As they start tomorrow against the Caps, my

1939
01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 4: home town out, my team, just my hometown team from

1940
01:26:58,200 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 4: where I'm from, the DNV. I grew up seeing a

1941
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 4: bunch of bad Cap teams until they drafted Ovechkin, then

1942
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 4: finally got over the hump and got him a Stanley Cup.

1943
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:09,000
Speaker 4: But the Boston Bruins up falls zip right now in Toronto,

1944
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 4: they seem to be NP and the formidable opponent hockey

1945
01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 4: kind of goes chalk. You will some years get a

1946
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 4: seven upset by to Boston got knocked out by eight.

1947
01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 4: Last year they won the President's Cup best record in

1948
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 4: hockey by far, number one is scoring number one and

1949
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 4: the golds any the best team and lost in the

1950
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 4: first round to an A seed. I just don't think

1951
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:34,559
Speaker 4: anything like that happens this season. But here with the Kings,

1952
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 4: being that they are the home team, very interesting to

1953
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:39,599
Speaker 4: see how they do compete with the Edmonton Olds, because

1954
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 4: I believe the coaching change. When the coaching change came,

1955
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 4: the team got better. Sometimes you just need a new voice.

1956
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 4: And with just I'll tell you Edmonton started off so

1957
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 4: bad people thought they needed to break it up. Uh,

1958
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 4: but they ended up writing the ship too, So you

1959
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 4: got two teams start off really bad, made some changes

1960
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:00,640
Speaker 4: right the ship. So I'm really interested and this, and

1961
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 4: then of course Campy camp he is the guy I'm

1962
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 4: looking for for the Kings here, to be the guy

1963
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 4: to take them over the top if they can get

1964
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 4: to the second round. But all in all, I'm gonna

1965
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 4: go out on the limb and I'm gonna surprise you here.

1966
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do something that I rarely do. I'm gonna

1967
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 4: pick my Rangers.

1968
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:20,479
Speaker 2: You guys like that set up.

1969
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:25,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pick my Rangers to hoist Lord Stanley. I

1970
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 4: believe we have the goal to this. The stirking is off,

1971
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 4: we can always go throw Jonathan Quick in the net

1972
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:33,200
Speaker 4: and make him the netminder. And he's won Stanley Cups,

1973
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:36,800
Speaker 4: beating my Rangers in six here in La I'll never

1974
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 4: forget that, but I think they have the team to

1975
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:40,599
Speaker 4: do it this year. I don't think aybody is gonna

1976
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 4: stop them from getting to the Stanley Cups, so I

1977
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 4: will predict that. But if they get there against the Stars,

1978
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 4: I think our physicality can outdo what the Stars do

1979
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 4: as far as off the boards. They're a great punk

1980
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 4: passing team and punck control team, and the Stars are

1981
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 4: a fast team. But the Rangers got some guys that

1982
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:54,320
Speaker 4: can get up and down the ice two. So give

1983
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 4: me my Rangers over the Dallas Stars and six for

1984
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:03,240
Speaker 4: the first time since nineteen ninety four, we shallow holes,

1985
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 4: hoist mister Lord Stanley and move around the world with it,

1986
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 4: and drink beer and liquor and eat cereal from Stanley

1987
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 4: Cup from city to city. If you guys don't know

1988
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:16,720
Speaker 4: nothing about that's like a Viking. You guys in the

1989
01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 4: Vikings pirate stuff like that.

1990
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:18,960
Speaker 2: That's my thing.

1991
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:21,240

1993
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:32,280
Speaker 2: He's researching mat No Node. That's what makes it so funny.

1994
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:35,759
Speaker 4: He's not He owns several Wendy's franchise on such surprise.

1995
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:36,559
Speaker 2: That wasn't a clue.

1996
01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:39,000
Speaker 4: Yeah here, No, he's gonna carry this.

1997
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:40,760
Speaker 2: This is you don't see it.

1998
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:44,680
Speaker 4: This is competitive. It's competitive, Martin whises, this is old basketball.

1999

01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:23,040

2060
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 4: Nuggas to come back taking a three point leads seventy

2061
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:28,280

2062
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:30,679
Speaker 4: uh ooh Lebron with an and one off the bump

2063
01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:32,519
Speaker 4: from Yo Kic. You know why I hate that type

2064
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,519
Speaker 4: of play though, Martin real talk because the offensive play

2065
01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:39,680
Speaker 4: here causes the contact, like right here, that's not on

2066
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:40,640
Speaker 4: Jo Kics like.

2067
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:42,640
Speaker 2: He's That's why he looks at him like, dude, what

2068
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 2: do you want me to do?

2069
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:47,000
Speaker 4: If I move, he's gonna score. I'm just running with him.

2070
01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 4: He's creating the contact and you're calling a foul on me.

2071
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:51,920
Speaker 4: That's gotta be clean up. But now you see this

2072
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 4: playing out man Lebron nine thirteen.

2073
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:56,559
Speaker 3: I'm sure Lebron got that from watching hours hour that's

2074
01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:58,040
Speaker 3: Rubur King YouTube video.

2075
01:32:58,240 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 2: Oh man, sure, that's where he picked up that type

2076
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:02,320
Speaker 2: of move. Albert King would have made that free throw.

2077
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:05,559
Speaker 4: Two T shirts for Martin, one that says Albert King

2078
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:07,760
Speaker 4: and the other one that says I love playing with

2079
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:11,960
Speaker 4: house money and he has to wear them. There'll be

2080
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 4: good quality. I buy Pro Club heavy Duty. You gotta

2081
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:16,000
Speaker 4: wear him if I get him for you.

2082
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:17,479
Speaker 2: Absolutely ridiculous.

2083
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 3: Coming up next, we'll dive more into this Lakers Nuggets

2084
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 3: game as it approaches the fourth.

2085
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:23,800
Speaker 2: Quarter and do a little talk about this.

2086
01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:26,560
Speaker 3: We touched on it briefly, but we'll dive in a

2087
01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:29,320
Speaker 3: little bit more in the Mavericks and the Clippers as well.

2088
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:37,479
Speaker 3: Martin and VJ Fox Sports Radio Martin and VJ, Martin Wise, VJ.

2089
01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:39,919
Speaker 3: Husky comeing to you lot from the Tireck dot Com studios.

2090
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 3: You can get us on Twitter. I'm at Martin Wise's

2091
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:48,240
Speaker 3: VJ at the Big Vanilla. Funny like George Sands, who

2092
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:52,479
Speaker 3: always has a trivia a trivia question he says. He says,

2093
01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:56,160
Speaker 3: don't knock former NBA players who own Wendy's. Now, George,

2094
01:33:56,439 --> 01:34:00,280
Speaker 3: here's the thing. If he has said, if Pat has

2095
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:04,280
Speaker 3: said he's made millions upoint millions of dollars in his

2096
01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:07,640
Speaker 3: Wendy's franchise days, I say, oh, you mean you and

2097
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:08,320
Speaker 3: your Bridgeman.

2098
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:08,920
Speaker 2: No.

2099
01:34:09,479 --> 01:34:11,920
Speaker 3: Instead, he's talking about Albert King, who has a handful

2100
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:13,000
Speaker 3: of Wendy's in Brooklyn.

2101
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:15,799
Speaker 4: I was about to say he, but he posted Junior Bridgeman.

2102
01:34:15,880 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 4: Of course, a man six hundred million. But that's what

2103
01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:19,240
Speaker 4: I didn't.

2104
01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 3: I knew that Junior Bridgeman made more money in Wendy's

2105
01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:23,559
Speaker 3: franchise than he did in the NBA.

2106
01:34:24,120 --> 01:34:26,679
Speaker 2: I bet you Patrick and his daddy didn't know that. Yeah,

2107
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:29,680
Speaker 2: I make you bet my dad did know that. One me, No,

2108
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:31,640
Speaker 2: my dad yeah, probably.

2109
01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like your dad probably did.

2110
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:35,120
Speaker 2: I mean, if my dad knows Albert King and you

2111
01:34:35,240 --> 01:34:37,680
Speaker 2: didn't all stuff, I guarantee you my dad probably knows

2112
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 2: that the other guy. I forgot his name.

2113
01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:43,439
Speaker 4: About the other guy, that was the answer for who

2114
01:34:43,479 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 4: you got that other guy?

2115
01:34:44,800 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

2116
01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:48,719
Speaker 3: Anyway, though, the Nuggets right now stretching out on the Lakers,

2117
01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 3: who have shot one for eight from three in the

2118
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:53,840
Speaker 3: third quarter, This is ultimately gonna be the problem for

2119
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:54,960
Speaker 3: the Lakers in this series.

2120
01:34:55,320 --> 01:34:55,960
Speaker 2: There's gonna be.

2121
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 4: Times when they will score, and I just don't see

2122
01:34:57,880 --> 01:35:01,760
Speaker 4: the Nuggets not like matching that drought any team they

2123
01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 4: would play in the Western Conference. This is what would

2124
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:07,799
Speaker 4: eventually happen because all the other top teams can all score,

2125
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 4: they're not gonna not score. So whether it's Minnesota, whether

2126
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 4: it's the Clippers, the MAVs, and definitely Oklahoma City, they

2127
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:17,559
Speaker 4: match up well against Oklahoma City. But the regular season

2128
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:21,200
Speaker 4: is not the postseason. Sports has always been this way.

2129
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:23,559
Speaker 4: Just because you matched up well in the regular season

2130
01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 4: don't mean you're going to in the postseason. As Jokis

2131
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:30,200
Speaker 4: just seems to keep finding teammates wide open for shots

2132
01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:32,679
Speaker 4: as that as the airball to in the third quarter,

2133
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 4: and Bob Buker Baby Major League eighty nine to seventy eight.

2134
01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:39,519
Speaker 4: Going into looks like.

2135
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:40,160
Speaker 2: The fourth court.

2136
01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:42,080
Speaker 4: What is the screen done? Put twelve minutes, it's.

2137
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:42,800
Speaker 2: Gonna be the fourth court.

2138
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:44,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, they put twelve minutes back on the court. But point,

2139
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:45,639
Speaker 4: you're gonna figure.

2140
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:46,720
Speaker 2: It out in the second. But it's gonna be the

2141
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:47,680
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. Yeah.

2142
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:49,680
Speaker 4: But this is what happened, Martin. No matter how who

2143
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:51,679
Speaker 4: they played, they can't even in my notes, I wrote

2144
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:54,920
Speaker 4: down here with the Lakers can't shoot and see and

2145
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:57,040
Speaker 4: I did this. I want to apologize real quick. I

2146
01:35:57,120 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 4: owe all the listeners, all our fans that have shown

2147
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:02,679
Speaker 4: apology because I'll speak up about not falling into media narratives.

2148
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:05,160
Speaker 4: And I did just that. A few weeks ago. When

2149
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:08,040
Speaker 4: the question was who's the most dangerous team not named

2150
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:10,439
Speaker 4: the Celtics and the Nuggets, Who do I say, Patrick,

2151
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:12,960
Speaker 4: I said the Lakers, And that's just wrong. I fell

2152
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:15,360
Speaker 4: into the narrative at the time because they were playing well.

2153
01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:18,240
Speaker 4: But when you look at the totality of their season, Martin,

2154
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:20,840
Speaker 4: and you look at the just put the tape on, man,

2155
01:36:20,920 --> 01:36:23,200
Speaker 4: forget the names, turn the shows off that keep pushing

2156
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:25,439
Speaker 4: it down our throw. I fell into that I owe

2157
01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:28,200
Speaker 4: yall in apology. This is a four to one series.

2158
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:30,240
Speaker 4: I'm giving them one game because I think they can

2159
01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:32,080
Speaker 4: get a game. Last year I thought they'd get too.

2160
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:34,560
Speaker 4: I had nuggets and six and they swept them. So

2161
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:36,880
Speaker 4: I'll give them a game. But this is what's gonna happen,

2162
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:39,680
Speaker 4: regardless of who they play. They can't shoot. They have

2163
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:42,040
Speaker 4: these games were they hit twenty three threes. You know

2164
01:36:42,240 --> 01:36:44,280
Speaker 4: that's not sustainable and it's not gonna continue.

2165
01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

2166
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:48,840
Speaker 3: Ultimately that's what's gonna because if the Lakers offense, to

2167
01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:53,200
Speaker 3: me is too generated, it's too much dependent upon Lebron

2168
01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:56,000
Speaker 3: and Anthony Davis, which don't get me wrong, those are

2169
01:36:56,080 --> 01:36:58,920
Speaker 3: two great guys to have your fortunes tied to. But

2170
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 3: they need to me the bit players around them. They

2171
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:04,800
Speaker 3: don't have enough. Liked Angelo Russell was a good player,

2172
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:07,360
Speaker 3: not a great player in my opinion, Like can he

2173
01:37:07,439 --> 01:37:09,160
Speaker 3: be a point guard on the championship team?

2174
01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 4: Sure, but can it be a third option? That's where

2175
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 4: I run into the problems.

2176
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:14,760
Speaker 3: The same thing I had the problems with last year

2177
01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:17,360
Speaker 3: when people were talking about the rise of Austin Reeves

2178
01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:20,000
Speaker 3: like a man that's going back to Earth's Can he

2179
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:22,280
Speaker 3: be the third option on the championship team?

2180
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely? So what are we doing here? Like you know

2181
01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, like, well, how much how much credit

2182
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:31,719
Speaker 2: am I supposed to be giving? Accent? He's Kerr, He's.

2183
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:34,320
Speaker 3: One of those guys, you know, so that that ultimately

2184
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:37,800
Speaker 3: this was gonna be my opinion was kind of predictable

2185
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:40,360
Speaker 3: for the Lakers. But you know a lot of people,

2186
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,840
Speaker 3: you know, probably feel opposite of that. Just watching shoot,

2187
01:37:43,960 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 3: just watch TV. You'll see a whole bunch of people

2188
01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:49,160
Speaker 3: disagree with disagree with that opinion. But I have not

2189
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:52,320
Speaker 3: been having this Lakers team really the last two seasons.

2190
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:53,640
Speaker 3: Last year they shut me up.

2191
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:54,479
Speaker 2: And who knows, we.

2192
01:37:54,520 --> 01:37:56,720
Speaker 3: Are only three quarters through the first series of the

2193
01:37:56,760 --> 01:38:00,320
Speaker 3: playoffs right now. Maybe they makers, maybe they'll make us

2194
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:02,760
Speaker 3: look stupid again. I'm not betting on it though, No

2195
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 3: me neither Man. Before we went the breakdown, you say

2196
01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:08,840
Speaker 3: you want to go deeper? And did you hear Larry

2197
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:13,839
Speaker 3: nance Uh talking about he was doing a little preview

2198
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:16,479
Speaker 3: of the of the thunder Pelicans.

2199
01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:17,720
Speaker 2: Who's doing media ahead of that?

2200
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:20,880
Speaker 3: I just see it, and you know, you know, Larry

2201
01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:23,920
Speaker 3: ends his postgame or is whatever his press conference and

2202
01:38:24,040 --> 01:38:26,519
Speaker 3: and starts saying, how you know, he goes, you know,

2203
01:38:26,760 --> 01:38:30,920
Speaker 3: actually though, I would bet on us, and then he

2204
01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 3: get he starts to get up and before he's like

2205
01:38:33,640 --> 01:38:34,080
Speaker 3: sits back.

2206
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:37,920
Speaker 4: Then like, just so you're clear, I'm not actually betting

2207
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 4: on us. I don't have bet app.

2208
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:43,880
Speaker 3: Hey, I don't have I don't own a sports betting app.

2209
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:46,559
Speaker 3: I'm not actually betting. And he actually said no, John

2210
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:47,240
Speaker 3: tay Porter.

2211
01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 4: Hey, listen, man, that's that's that's the that's the ultimate

2212
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:56,120
Speaker 4: kind of trash talk right in the face. And when

2213
01:38:56,479 --> 01:38:58,960
Speaker 4: when you make any personal no not betting, they need

2214
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:01,400
Speaker 4: to do something about that man, that important family. If

2215
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 4: there's some hard times going to younger, we.

2216
01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:06,080
Speaker 3: Did do something and it's called a lifetime bad ba Yeah,

2217
01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:08,040
Speaker 3: now a question, do you agree with that, Martin?

2218
01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:12,160
Speaker 2: Yes, lifetime yes, not not like.

2219
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:16,519
Speaker 4: Five years some rehab.

2220
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:18,680
Speaker 3: No, no, get it, get the hell out of here,

2221
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 3: damn and go play, go play in the Albert King

2222
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:24,080
Speaker 3: leagues like seriously, like no, but because like he's.

2223
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:27,080
Speaker 2: Got one too and buddapest people. No, I'm joking. I'm joking.

2224
01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 2: I'm joking. I'm joking.

2225
01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:33,160
Speaker 3: But seriously, though, whenever you get into and I know,

2226
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,559
Speaker 3: people always say, well, how can you just spend somebody

2227
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:38,519
Speaker 3: lifetime for this and not suspend this person for that,

2228
01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:41,840
Speaker 3: this person for that. What people fail to realize is

2229
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:45,240
Speaker 3: a lot of things are the it's not illegal to

2230
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:48,679
Speaker 3: gamble in a lot of places right right now. Domestic

2231
01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:52,360
Speaker 3: violence that's illegal, efforts illegal everywhere. That's drunk driving that's

2232
01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 3: illegal everywhere.

2233
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:54,400
Speaker 2: Right There are.

2234
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:57,080
Speaker 4: Places and rules in place for police.

2235
01:39:56,760 --> 01:40:00,040
Speaker 2: To handle such a thing, right and incial system and

2236
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 2: then and then, and.

2237
01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:03,040
Speaker 3: Then the professional league that a team is a part

2238
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:05,680
Speaker 3: of can adjudicated based off of what happens there. Right

2239
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:11,440
Speaker 3: When you have something like gambling, which is directly related

2240
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:16,639
Speaker 3: to the outcome of games, you cannot to me, it's

2241
01:40:16,720 --> 01:40:18,880
Speaker 3: it's to me, it is a foolish thing to do

2242
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:19,519
Speaker 3: for likes.

2243
01:40:19,439 --> 01:40:20,559
Speaker 4: And retweets and clicks.

2244
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 3: To try to compare that to stuff that happens off

2245
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:26,920
Speaker 3: the court, that's what happens off the court is It's

2246
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:30,439
Speaker 3: just that it's off the court. And and and if

2247
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:34,160
Speaker 3: you want to argue for harshaal penance, harsh harsher penalties

2248
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 3: for things that happen off the court, that's fine.

2249
01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:39,160
Speaker 2: I'd be willing to hear out your argument. But when

2250
01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:39,719
Speaker 2: you start.

2251
01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:43,160
Speaker 3: I mean that's essentially you are a hop skipping a

2252
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 3: jump away from people throwing games.

2253
01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, boban, boban, bobon right, So you do you did?

2254
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,719
Speaker 2: Did you hear the chicken sandwich free throw miss? First

2255
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:56,080
Speaker 2: of all, not only did I hear that.

2256
01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:00,040
Speaker 3: You could draw a direct line in Philly from and

2257
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 3: they got the chicken sandwiches because the announcement makes such

2258
01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:05,800
Speaker 3: a big deal about it, to when Philly would a

2259
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:06,839
Speaker 3: run against Miami.

2260
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:09,840
Speaker 2: I did hear that it? Now it didn't do?

2261
01:41:09,960 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 3: I love it not so much. But he's a bench player.

2262
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:14,200
Speaker 3: He's not getting a ton of minutes. He's out there

2263
01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:16,559
Speaker 3: because the game is over. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

2264
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:17,360
Speaker 2: I get that.

2265
01:41:17,560 --> 01:41:21,400
Speaker 4: But the point where my brain went was I get

2266
01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:23,360
Speaker 4: everything you're saying, Martin. But when my brain went as wow,

2267
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:29,320
Speaker 4: since when when does a free throw missed that affects

2268
01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 4: a line or affects some money?

2269
01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:34,599
Speaker 2: When can that be now disguised as Hey.

2270
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:37,639
Speaker 4: I'm doing that. I'm doing the road team a solid.

2271
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna help you all. It's a twenty point game,

2272
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:43,519
Speaker 4: it's a fifteen point game. Here, here's free tacos from

2273
01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 4: your local UH Taco place or free chicken sandwiches missed.

2274
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:51,600
Speaker 4: I just there's always somebody Martin that's gonna try to

2275
01:41:52,120 --> 01:41:52,880
Speaker 4: beat the system.

2276
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 8: This is not.

2277
01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:59,840
Speaker 4: Player Lifetime, No, absolutely not. There's somebody Martin. There's some

2278
01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:02,800
Speaker 4: I'd be surprised. I don't know if they'll get caught,

2279
01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:04,960
Speaker 4: but there's somebody's gonna try it. If they're if they're

2280
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:07,559
Speaker 4: betting on a legal book, they'll get caught. Okay, Well,

2281
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:08,360
Speaker 4: then it's coming.

2282
01:42:08,240 --> 01:42:09,400
Speaker 2: Like flat out, they'll get hits.

2283
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:11,439
Speaker 3: Comes when you when you sign up the fan Duel

2284

01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:28,360

2333
01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:30,720

2342
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:55,080
Speaker 6: that'll not just be six straight losses, it'll be a

Speaker 6: and seventeen. They were down nine to nothing at Philadelphia

2347
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:10,160
Speaker 6: in the ninth nine to five the final. Zach Wheeler,

Speaker 2: I'm doing well?

2370
01:46:15,120 --> 01:46:16,400
Speaker 4: But I know what I'm not doing as well as

2371
01:46:16,439 --> 01:46:17,760
Speaker 4: the Milwaukee Brewers right now.

2372
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:19,040
Speaker 2: Steve de Sager just said it.

01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:26,439
Speaker 2: Year, Oh what you're going? What's your Brewers? Take? Almost

2376
01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:27,080
Speaker 2: twenty games in?

2377
01:46:28,400 --> 01:46:30,400
Speaker 8: I have to admit I was wrong on the Brewers.

2378
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:33,360
Speaker 8: Let's start out. The Ashiels are getting off to That's

2379
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:33,920
Speaker 8: kind of what I.

2380
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,080
Speaker 7: Thought the Brewers were.

2381
01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:37,880
Speaker 8: The kind of start able to get off to just

2382
01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:41,879
Speaker 8: losing to Les Burns in the trade. You knew woodrif

2383
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:44,080
Speaker 8: wasn't going to be there because of surgery. I just

2384
01:46:44,160 --> 01:46:45,760
Speaker 8: I was looking at it and I was like, nah,

2385
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:48,200
Speaker 8: that's kind of a hit, you know. And I just

2386
01:46:48,240 --> 01:46:49,760
Speaker 8: thought they'd get up to the star. So I got

2387
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:51,360
Speaker 8: to sell them some luck because they're doing the thing

2388
01:46:51,439 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 8: right now. Paralta, Oh my god, pitching like an eighth

2389
01:46:55,600 --> 01:46:57,960
Speaker 8: and he realized his opportunity that's in front of him,

2390
01:46:58,080 --> 01:46:59,240
Speaker 8: you know, with Burns being gone.

2391
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:00,519
Speaker 7: He keeps like this.

2392
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:03,080
Speaker 8: He knows who, he knows who's coming. But he get

2393
01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:03,719
Speaker 8: that payday.

2394
01:47:04,439 --> 01:47:05,360
Speaker 4: The Marja was good.

2395
01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:05,679
Speaker 2: Brother.

2396
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:06,960
Speaker 4: How's the young one doing?

2397
01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:07,200
Speaker 2: Man?

2398
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:09,080
Speaker 7: Oh, he's good. He's good.

2399
01:47:09,120 --> 01:47:09,639
Speaker 3: He's in the room.

2400
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:12,200
Speaker 4: Awesome, awesome, great here all right, man, I'm gonna get

2401
01:47:12,200 --> 01:47:13,840
Speaker 4: to my Rangers, and I'm almost thinking a Ranger question.

2402
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:15,680
Speaker 4: But let's go with the home team out here in

2403
01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:18,799
Speaker 4: La man and that is the Dodgers out there, Chavez Ravine.

2404
01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:22,000
Speaker 4: Something's up. Three losses in a row. The hitting is

2405
01:47:22,200 --> 01:47:24,640
Speaker 4: just not there. The bats are not swinging well, the

2406
01:47:24,680 --> 01:47:27,439
Speaker 4: bullpen's not playing well, and they're looking at getting swept

2407
01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 4: tomorrow by the Mets that are in town. And being

2408
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:33,639
Speaker 4: a five hundred club. I know it's early, and that's

2409
01:47:33,680 --> 01:47:35,600
Speaker 4: why I hate you even having some of these conversations

2410
01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:38,920
Speaker 4: this early, because it's such a long year. Any calls

2411
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 4: for concern. I talked to Dave Roberts myself the other night.

2412
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:43,639
Speaker 4: He didn't have any calls for concern. He did say,

2413
01:47:44,080 --> 01:47:46,360
Speaker 4: we got to get more out of our starters and

2414
01:47:46,520 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 4: our arms.

2415
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:51,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, we obviously know they're missing some starting pitching.

2416
01:47:51,840 --> 01:47:54,559
Speaker 8: It's a long season. So during the course of the season,

2417
01:47:54,640 --> 01:47:56,760
Speaker 8: you're gonna see teams go through those stretches where they

2418
01:47:56,800 --> 01:47:58,800
Speaker 8: look unstoppable and they're playing the best, and then you're

2419
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:00,479
Speaker 8: gonna see them go through those stretchs w is where

2420
01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:03,280
Speaker 8: they're struggling and they look like a completely different team.

2421
01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:05,640
Speaker 8: So we just got to remember both of those, and

2422
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:07,960
Speaker 8: you know, when the games mattered, it's like, Okay, if

2423
01:48:07,960 --> 01:48:09,760
Speaker 8: they could come out and play like this, we know

2424
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:11,880
Speaker 8: what they're capable of. We obviously know this isn't going

2425
01:48:11,960 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 8: to keep up with the Dodgers. They're going to get

2426
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:16,280
Speaker 8: going at some point not wear it at all. There's

2427
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:17,880
Speaker 8: a couple of teams who are getting off the starts

2428
01:48:17,920 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 8: they probably wouldn't want to. You know some teams who

2429
01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 8: would love to get off to some faster starts, braves,

2430
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:24,559
Speaker 8: you know, kind of slow start, not getting off how

2431
01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:27,080
Speaker 8: they wanted to. So no worry at off of the Dodgers,

2432
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:27,599
Speaker 8: they'll be fine.

2433
01:48:27,680 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 3: Okay, talk about the other half of that matchup, because,

2434
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:32,920
Speaker 3: like you said, like the VJ said, just now met

2435
01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:37,000
Speaker 3: on the verge of sweeping the Dodgers, after sweeping the

2436
01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:41,160
Speaker 3: Pirates and then after only dropping one to the Royals

2437
01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:43,400
Speaker 3: in a three game set. Where do you think about

2438
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:46,360
Speaker 3: the New York Metropolitans and the.

2439
01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:49,679
Speaker 8: Offensive cook game. I'll say that like twenty four runs

2440
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:53,840
Speaker 8: in the last three games. So the Francisco Alvarez injury hurts.

2441
01:48:54,240 --> 01:48:58,120
Speaker 8: That's a big loss. That hurts. I mean, the pitchings

2442
01:48:58,160 --> 01:48:59,840
Speaker 8: been phenomenal. I got to get the pitch and some

2443
01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:03,439
Speaker 8: especially with our Kodik finger and you know Peterson being out.

2444
01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:06,599
Speaker 8: They got the sixth best team d r Their bullpen

2445
01:49:06,720 --> 01:49:09,680
Speaker 8: leads off bullpen and strikeout guarded with one hundred and four.

2446
01:49:09,760 --> 01:49:12,519
Speaker 8: Guardians are second with ninety four. So the pision has

2447
01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:15,880
Speaker 8: been good. Hopefully that can keep up. Excuse me, but yeah,

2448
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:17,680
Speaker 8: I like the I like them. They should be all right.

2449
01:49:17,720 --> 01:49:19,760
Speaker 8: I have them bouncing back this season. I forgot what

2450
01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:21,840
Speaker 8: my prediction was for them. I think it was low eighties,

2451
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:23,680
Speaker 8: eighty two to eighty four, something around the eighty five.

2452
01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:25,479
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you had you had you had

2453
01:49:25,520 --> 01:49:26,679
Speaker 2: the medical like the mid eighties.

2454
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:29,679
Speaker 8: Okay, hey, I did have them duncing back this season.

2455
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:32,040
Speaker 8: But and then another big thing is Lindor then Door

2456
01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:33,920
Speaker 8: is finally getting it going. He got off to him,

2457
01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:36,800
Speaker 8: he was struggling, he got off to a rustock. So

2458
01:49:36,920 --> 01:49:39,439
Speaker 8: he's finally getting on base, and he's scoring when he's

2459
01:49:39,479 --> 01:49:41,960
Speaker 8: on base. So the dude still has will, So you

2460
01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:43,760
Speaker 8: get him on base. You know, he's still a huge

2461
01:49:43,800 --> 01:49:46,439
Speaker 8: factor to score and a big component for this offense.

2462
01:49:46,520 --> 01:49:48,839
Speaker 8: So gonna be in going to see what they could.

2463
01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:49,800
Speaker 2: Do the rest of the way.

2464
01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:52,120
Speaker 4: The bars that guy you and I have talked about

2465
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:56,719
Speaker 4: several times. He might be my favorite player other than Corey,

2466
01:49:56,960 --> 01:49:58,840
Speaker 4: other than Corey Seger and all of the major And

2467
01:49:58,920 --> 01:50:01,880
Speaker 4: that's Mookie Bets, who is just once again showing that

2468
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:03,880
Speaker 4: no matter where you put the guy, he almost he's

2469
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:07,439
Speaker 4: leaning in almost every damn thing as a position player,

2470
01:50:07,760 --> 01:50:10,120
Speaker 4: and at the play he's going through some bad problems

2471
01:50:10,160 --> 01:50:12,160
Speaker 4: also with the Dodgers right now. But he's not the

2472
01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:15,880
Speaker 4: only one. But just I know we love show. Hey,

2473
01:50:16,040 --> 01:50:18,719
Speaker 4: I've seen it up close and personal now, the circus,

2474
01:50:18,880 --> 01:50:22,479
Speaker 4: the just what comes with him. But I still look

2475
01:50:22,560 --> 01:50:25,240
Speaker 4: and go, yeah, but that that's nothing. If you don't

2476
01:50:25,320 --> 01:50:27,519
Speaker 4: have that guy, he's the guy that's gonna have to

2477
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:30,200
Speaker 4: ride and pull him out of this fuck. Man, speak

2478
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:32,240
Speaker 4: to that. About Mookie Betts, I think he's the best

2479
01:50:32,280 --> 01:50:34,320
Speaker 4: player in baseball? Am I wrong about that?

2480
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 2: Do you do?

2481
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:36,240
Speaker 4: You think he's the best? I think he's the best

2482
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:37,320
Speaker 4: five to two player in baseball.

2483
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:39,320
Speaker 1: I agree with you.

2484
01:50:39,439 --> 01:50:41,320
Speaker 8: Man, that's trying to put some respect on Mookie's name.

2485
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:42,000
Speaker 7: Man for real.

2486
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:45,000
Speaker 8: Uh, it's just like everybody raised about a tiny's ability

2487
01:50:45,040 --> 01:50:46,600
Speaker 8: to hit at a high level and pitch at a

2488
01:50:46,680 --> 01:50:48,960
Speaker 8: high level. We got to look at Mookie's ability to

2489
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:52,080
Speaker 8: play go go caliber defense the hanfield and the outfield.

2490
01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:54,479
Speaker 8: You know, I don't think that gets spoken of enough.

2491
01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:57,160
Speaker 8: So I think that's huge for the Dodgers team. Obviously,

2492
01:50:57,280 --> 01:50:59,560
Speaker 8: his bat, you know, he's killing it in the on

2493
01:50:59,720 --> 01:51:03,120
Speaker 8: offense into the bat. So I love watching Mookie. Man,

2494
01:51:03,120 --> 01:51:05,320
Speaker 8: I can't say enough good things about Mookie. I agree

2495
01:51:05,320 --> 01:51:07,040
Speaker 8: with you, I think he's the best player in baseball

2496
01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:08,360
Speaker 8: right now. Mookie Betts for sure.

2497
01:51:08,720 --> 01:51:10,639
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about somebody out of New York.

2498
01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:13,840
Speaker 3: Fans would generally have an argument with you, but not

2499
01:51:14,040 --> 01:51:17,599
Speaker 3: right now. Aaron Judge was blued today after going oh

2500
01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:21,320
Speaker 3: for four. I mean he's struck trying. Not only did

2501
01:51:21,360 --> 01:51:24,840
Speaker 3: he go for four, struck out four times, tomar Jay,

2502
01:51:25,240 --> 01:51:26,799
Speaker 3: what's going on with the Judge?

2503
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:31,840
Speaker 8: Yankee fans. As many times as this man has been

2504
01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:34,080
Speaker 8: great for y'all, we've seen him be a great time

2505
01:51:34,160 --> 01:51:36,960
Speaker 8: and time. The game guys are gonna struggle. They're gonna

2506
01:51:36,960 --> 01:51:39,160
Speaker 8: go through these stitches. We know it's not gonna last.

2507
01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:41,679
Speaker 8: This is Aaron Judge we're talking about. Come on, man,

2508
01:51:42,320 --> 01:51:44,680
Speaker 8: the judgement would be fine. Everything would be all right.

2509
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:47,559
Speaker 8: They're going through a little you know, it's a little

2510
01:51:47,560 --> 01:51:50,040
Speaker 8: shaky right now pitching, you know, pitching a little shaky bay.

2511
01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:52,240
Speaker 8: Everything would be all right. Judge will come around his

2512
01:51:52,360 --> 01:51:55,559
Speaker 8: numbers that get going HIMNSTA, No worries, man, come.

2513
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 3: On, so no concern because he hasn't been the same

2514
01:51:58,439 --> 01:51:59,759
Speaker 3: since he had that toe injury.

2515
01:51:59,840 --> 01:52:02,880
Speaker 4: So you have no concern going forward about the toe.

2516
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 3: He said himself is going to require constant maintenance throughout

2517
01:52:06,120 --> 01:52:08,800
Speaker 3: the remainder of his career. He's thirty two years old.

2518
01:52:09,160 --> 01:52:10,760
Speaker 3: My feet hurt when I wake up, and I'm only

2519
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:12,600
Speaker 3: two years older than they're in Judge, what do you

2520
01:52:13,160 --> 01:52:14,280
Speaker 3: no concern at all for you?

2521
01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:18,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, because he's struggling in the last couple of seasons,

2522
01:52:18,080 --> 01:52:20,080
Speaker 8: you know, especially dealing with the injuries and stuff. But

2523
01:52:20,240 --> 01:52:22,360
Speaker 8: we know when he's healthy, we know he's going to

2524
01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:24,200
Speaker 8: be right back up there, top three here to something.

2525
01:52:24,320 --> 01:52:25,800
Speaker 8: He's the best share in the game. Wherever you want

2526
01:52:25,800 --> 01:52:27,320
Speaker 8: to put him. We know he's going to be right

2527
01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:29,040
Speaker 8: there when he's healthy. It's just a matter of him,

2528
01:52:29,240 --> 01:52:31,040
Speaker 8: you know, get in there. We know he ain't gonna

2529
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:32,160
Speaker 8: play like this the whole season.

2530
01:52:32,240 --> 01:52:32,920
Speaker 7: That's the main thing.

2531
01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:33,560
Speaker 2: You know.

2532
01:52:33,680 --> 01:52:35,479
Speaker 8: His production ain't going to be like this the whole way.

2533
01:52:35,479 --> 01:52:38,120
Speaker 8: He's going to pick up at some point. It's a judge, man,

2534
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:38,800
Speaker 8: it's too great.

2535
01:52:39,160 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 4: De marsin as quick as you can. I thought when

2536
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:44,640
Speaker 4: Josh Young got hurt, it's sent a negative ripple to

2537
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:47,639
Speaker 4: my Rangers. And I've watched every game, almost every pitch,

2538
01:52:47,720 --> 01:52:49,760
Speaker 4: and I can just feel it. They still have talent.

2539
01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:51,840
Speaker 4: I think they'll be fine. It as early. But I

2540
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:53,840
Speaker 4: don't like what I see in Atlanta going on right now.

2541
01:52:53,920 --> 01:52:55,519
Speaker 4: And I've all he tried to do all he could.

2542
01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:57,519
Speaker 4: Big game date today, But do you agree with me

2543
01:52:57,560 --> 01:52:59,800
Speaker 4: when when Jung went down it felt like it sit

2544
01:52:59,920 --> 01:53:02,840
Speaker 4: like a ripple, like it really did affect some other guys,

2545
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:04,720
Speaker 4: because it's just like, Wow, he was really primed and

2546
01:53:04,840 --> 01:53:07,000
Speaker 4: ready to have a great year and this happened to

2547
01:53:07,120 --> 01:53:07,519
Speaker 4: him early.

2548
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:11,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, it just you just need that one game man

2549
01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:13,920
Speaker 8: onst The Rangers have that one game, uh maybe where

2550
01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:15,640
Speaker 8: they're down big and they got to battle back, they

2551
01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:17,760
Speaker 8: got to rally something like that maybe to get them going.

2552
01:53:18,080 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 8: I really believe them winning it last year. You know,

2553
01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:22,720
Speaker 8: obviously you bond over that, so I think when you're

2554
01:53:22,760 --> 01:53:24,519
Speaker 8: going through times like this, I think you can lean

2555
01:53:24,600 --> 01:53:26,240
Speaker 8: on that and now to help pull them out and

2556
01:53:26,479 --> 01:53:28,000
Speaker 8: you know, to try to get them that go and

2557
01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:28,479
Speaker 8: get him.

2558
01:53:28,400 --> 01:53:28,960
Speaker 7: Out their funk.

2559
01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:31,479
Speaker 8: No concern for the Rangers, at least for me. You

2560
01:53:31,560 --> 01:53:32,759
Speaker 8: know a lot of bats in that lineup.

2561
01:53:32,800 --> 01:53:33,639
Speaker 3: I know they'll be solid.

2562
01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:36,960
Speaker 8: Ud Grom hopefully he can come back soon.

2563
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:39,280
Speaker 4: Sure, Yeah, they got they got some arms, they got

2564
01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:41,240
Speaker 4: some help on the way. I'm not concerned. I just

2565
01:53:41,640 --> 01:53:43,640
Speaker 4: I just wanted your opinion on with Josh Young. It

2566
01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:45,400
Speaker 4: just felt like it's one of those things, was like

2567
01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:48,040
Speaker 4: it hurt everybody and it kind of it felt like

2568
01:53:48,120 --> 01:53:49,160
Speaker 4: it took effect to the team.

2569
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:52,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, but they'll be our especially when you got guys

01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:57,000

Speaker 4: Our planet Jupiter, Uranus, Mars. If they got fight songs,

2598
01:55:10,760 --> 01:55:11,760
Speaker 4: they're not better than this one.

2599
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:13,440
Speaker 2: I tend to agree with that one.

2600
01:55:13,480 --> 01:55:15,360
Speaker 3: But the reason we're playing this is not because Michigan

2601
01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:17,800
Speaker 3: had the most players at the combine, not because Jim

2602
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:19,760
Speaker 3: Harball just spent all seven of his draft picks on

2603
01:55:19,880 --> 01:55:23,240
Speaker 3: Michigan players, but because of what Vj'd like to talk about.

2604
01:55:23,440 --> 01:55:25,960
Speaker 4: Yes, my man Harball showed up to the spring game

2605
01:55:26,160 --> 01:55:27,920
Speaker 4: and got the rings today.

2606
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:29,839
Speaker 2: That got the rings. The case is beautiful.

2607
01:55:29,880 --> 01:55:32,160
Speaker 4: They flipped it open and had all the rings from

2608
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:34,840
Speaker 4: all the accomplishments last year. But I am here to

2609
01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:38,360
Speaker 4: make a promise to you guys. I'm gonna I'm gonna

2610

Speaker 4: Victor's runs in my blood and I ain't never took

2612
01:55:45,480 --> 01:55:47,960
Speaker 4: a class there. But I'm gonna show you guys how

2613
01:55:48,040 --> 01:55:51,560
Speaker 4: that Trump's how deep by him. I was disappointed when
