But before we get 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 3: to what we are talking about today, which will be 28 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: a lot of the NBA playoffs, here is what we 29 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 3: are not talking about today. What did not make the 30 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 3: show today is some dude on the Reds who threw 31 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 3: one hundred and two miles per hour Green Bay, replacing 32 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 3: DeVante Adams with Super Bowl champion Sammy Watkins. And Brady's 33 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: last touchdown ball, which wasn't the last touchdown ball because 34 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 3: that was a sham retirement just to get to the Dolphins. 35 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 3: That guy who paid the five hundred and eighteen thousand 36 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 3: he ended up actually not having the five hundred and 37 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 3: eighteen thousand dollars. Right now, I was win though, I 38 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: pivot to Demons and he typically tells me what we 39 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 3: are talking about. But first we have some explaining to do. 40 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 3: Demanse is a Celtics fan. Why are you a Celtics fan? 41 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: What's the what's the genesis of your Celtics fandom? 42 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: Oh? 43 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 6: I just love doing the ray Allen Rondo and Kevin Garnett, 44 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 6: Paul Pierce. 45 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 3: I love that love that team. Rondo was your favorite player. 46 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: Now you're not. As we will discuss in a moment, 47 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: a big Kyrie Irving theme. People are gonna think that 48 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 3: is a Kyrie Irving Celtics jersey. 49 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 2: It is not. 50 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: However, that is a Nick Right Celtics jersey. You don't know, however, 51 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: how I got this. I was given this jersey by 52 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 3: none other than total charlatan, politically disingenuous former NBA player 53 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: in this cant in his canton once upon a time, 54 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: came on my television show, rubbed my head to see 55 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 3: if my hair was real ala a Donald Trump, and 56 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: then gave me this jersey. So it actually says right 57 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 3: on the back, but we are going to call it 58 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 3: a Peyton Pritchard jersey because Peyton is number one eleven 59 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 3: for the Celtics. So you are a Celtics fan, You 60 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 3: are not a Kyrie fan. I think we're probably starting 61 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: with the Celtics, so good morning, good to see you. 62 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: What are we starting with. 63 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 6: Let's start with the Nets and the Celtics. Yep, are Celtics. 64 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 6: My guys hate him and a buzzer beater in Game 65 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 6: one yep. 66 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: I know you want to kill Brooklyn but you know, 67 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: it's just one game, and Katie isn't going to be 68 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: that bad again. 69 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 6: Okay, they might get Simmons back, and they only lost 70 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 6: fout one with Katie having a really bad game, So 71 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 6: they actually shouldn't They actually feel pretty good about that. 72 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's that's similar to what Chris Brussard said 73 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: this morning, not the on Monday morning I should say, 74 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: which is, hey, they should feel good. Katie is not 75 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: going to be that bad again and they only lost 76 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 3: by one. That's not how it works in the playoffs. 77 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: First of all, Katie and Kyrie combined for sixty two points, 78 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: are nearly fifty percent shooting. So while Katie won't be 79 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: that bad, Kyrie won't be that goodtill gonna combined around 80 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: sixty to seventy points per game. But every single moment 81 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 3: in these playoffs, when the margins are this thin count, 82 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 3: and no, you can't feel good about losing the game. 83 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: When you have a three point lead with forty five 84 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: seconds left and you give up two layups to lose Boston, 85 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: it's a Jaalen Brown layup. Then they have a terrible 86 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 3: possession does Brooklyn on the other end that ends in 87 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 3: a Kevin Durant contested twenty seven footer and then they 88 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: give up another layup to lose the game. Boston didn't 89 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 3: have to take a single jump shot to beat them. 90 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 3: That's first of all, second of all, and I've been 91 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: hammering the coaching point all year. I will continue to 92 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: hammer it. Either you don't have the roster of a 93 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: team that has any chance can beat for a title, 94 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: or your coach doesn't know what he's doing. 95 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: What do I mean? 96 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 3: After Kyrie hit that three at the end of the 97 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 3: game with forty five seconds left put them up three, 98 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 3: Boston called timeout. So Brooklyn then had the chance to 99 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 3: put their very best defensive lineup on the court, the 100 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 3: best five defenders they can come up with, and then 101 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 3: if they get a stop, all time out themselves, put 102 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 3: the best offensive lineup on the court. And you know 103 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 3: who took the court. Kevin Durant, Shore Claxton, good call, 104 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: Bruce Brown. I don't know Kyrie Irving and Gooram Dragons. 105 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 3: So either Steve Nash doesn't know what he's doing, or 106 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 3: he does know what he's doing. And that's your best 107 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 3: five defenders. And if your best five defenders, two fifths of 108 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 3: them are thirty six year old Goran Dragic and Kyrie Irving. 109 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 3: That's a problem. And if you watch that again, is 110 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 3: the second to last offensive play for Boston. Boston because 111 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 3: they have a real coach and they have real continuity. 112 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 3: All they do is they have whoever's Durant and Claxton 113 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: are guarding. Those two guys set a screen for each 114 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 3: other thirty five feet from the basket, draw Brooklyn's only 115 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 3: two legitimate defenders all the way outside of the paint. 116 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: And then Jalen Brown gets. 117 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 3: To go one on one on Bruce Brown. So that's 118 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 3: a huge problem for them. And then also, and this 119 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: is where I want to give Boston a ton of credit, 120 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 3: the fact that they got that rebound off the Durant 121 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 3: miss with fourteen seconds left Forford gets the rebound, he 122 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 3: kicks it. I don't know if it was White or 123 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: Perch or whoever was out there. Who then kicks it 124 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: to Brown, who kicks it to Smart, who find Sadam. 125 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 3: All five guys touched the ball. Boston doesn't call time out. 126 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 3: That is like that. 127 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: That is a team that. 128 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 3: Knows how to play together, as opposed to a team 129 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 3: that has two sensational offensive players and that's it, and 130 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: now quickly before and we're going to spend time on 131 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 3: this because this is the most interesting game of the weekend. Also, 132 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 3: Durant's got to be better. Durrant demandsay, we were watching 133 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 3: the very beginning of that game. 134 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 2: We watched the whole thing. 135 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 3: But in the very beginning of the game, how many 136 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 3: times did Durant just have the ball taken from it? 137 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: Just get bullets? 138 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 3: I mean, he had half a dozen turnovers and the 139 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 3: first handful of them were the ball. He just wasn't 140 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: ready for the physicality of the game. Boston's not going 141 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 3: to stop that, the idea that ball. Like Boston's been 142 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: the number one defense in basketball for four months now, 143 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 3: They're going to keep bringing that level of physicality. I 144 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 3: don't think Brooklyn's ready for it. And Brooklyn now essentially 145 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 3: has to win five out of seven, which they because 146 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 3: they had yesterday or Sunday's game one and they blew it. 147 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 2: Okay, there's other stuff to talk about this. 148 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 6: Game now, Nikyrie, we got the full Kyrie experience Sunday. 149 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 6: He had thirty nine, six and five and multiple middle fingers. 150 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 6: Then he said he was just matching Boston fans energy 151 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 6: after the game and said that there's only so much 152 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 6: you could take. 153 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: What do you think how fans treated him and how 154 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: he reacted? 155 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 3: All right, listen, I am not going to sit here 156 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 3: and defend a Boston sports fan. 157 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: I'm not. 158 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 3: That is not what I want to do. And I'm 159 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 3: sure they were vulgar to him. I believe him, all right. 160 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 3: And in general, fans, particularly Boston fans, have a bad 161 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 3: rep Utah Jazz fans have a bad rep. 162 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 163 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: Particularly that's a whole other story. We get into it 164 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: at some point. Philly fans have not the greatest rep 165 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 3: There are certain arenas you know are going to be 166 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 3: extra intense if you will. With that said, of course, 167 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 3: you're not supposed to flip off the fans like those. 168 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: And the thing with Kyrie. 169 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell a quick story from me as a child, 170 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 3: and I don't know if you know the story or not, 171 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 3: and it's not going to make sense in the beginning, 172 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 3: but I'll bring it all together as. 173 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: I so often. 174 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 3: Okay, So, one time I was with my I was 175 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 3: probably eight years old. I was with my parents that 176 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 3: were shopping for lights. I was at a place called 177 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: Rinson House of Lights in Kansas City. It's a giant, 178 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: like almost Ikea sized places like lights and chandeliers. It's 179 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: family owned, and there's a big, friendly dog who just 180 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 3: like stays in the store and lays down. So while 181 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 3: my parents are looking for lights, we were like, oh, 182 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 3: you can pet the dog and play with the dog. 183 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: And about ten minutes. 184 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 3: Do you know the story, About ten minutes later, you 185 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 3: hear the dog bark and I'm trying and I have 186 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 3: two giant teeth marks on either side of my face, 187 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 3: like he bit my face like that, and I'm I'm 188 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 3: trying and I'm upset, and the owners are so apologetically like, 189 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 3: oh my god, knowing this has ever happened, and my 190 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 3: dad calls me over. 191 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 2: It's like what happened? And I'm like, I don't know. 192 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 3: I was petting him and what did I just kind 193 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 3: of nonchalantly if you remember the story, tell my dad 194 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: I did. 195 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 2: Do you remember? Did you grab me like you grab 196 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 2: his tailor? 197 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 3: Is I put my finger up the dog's nose. Yeah, 198 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 3: I was a little kid and I put my finger 199 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: up the dog's nose and he bit me. 200 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 2: And I was horrified that he and the dogs shouldn't 201 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: have bit me. 202 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: But I also shouldn't have been shocked that if I 203 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 3: put my finger up the dog's nose that he might 204 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: react for it. In this analogy, Kyrie Irving is eight 205 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 3: year old me and Celtics fans are the dog. Should 206 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 3: they be calling him the P word and the B word? 207 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 2: No? Should Kyrie be shocked by it? No? And Kyrie's 208 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 2: woe is me? Why did? 209 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: Why can't they get over it? Well, let's go through 210 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 3: the quick history of this. Okay, Kyrie gets to Boston 211 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 3: his first year there, he oddly skips out on even 212 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 3: showing up for Game seven of the playoffs, sitting on 213 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: the bench. 214 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: He's not with his team. 215 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 3: Then next year, before the season starts, he holds all 216 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 3: Prescotmerdce's like, oh, love to finish my career here, if 217 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: you'll have me. He immediately starts planning to go play 218 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 3: with Kevin Durant, gets caught talking to Kevin Durant about 219 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 3: this the All Star Game, gets asked about it, and 220 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 3: it's like, oh, my god, friends can't talk with friends. 221 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 2: What the hell are you guys talking about? 222 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 3: By the way, sidebar our young players are totally selfish. 223 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 3: I don't know how to win. They need to follow me. 224 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 3: We then get to the playoffs. They have a good 225 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: first round of the playoffs. Round two they play Milwaukee. 226 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 3: Kyrie is awful in that series and demands to guard Yiannis. 227 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 3: Giannis destroys him repeatedly and then he immediately bounces. He 228 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 3: then last year in the playoffs, gets to Boston, or 229 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 3: before that, even before he even gets to Boston. First 230 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 3: game back in TD Garden, he's saving the arena. Remember 231 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 3: that he's saved in the arena. Then in the playoffs, 232 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 3: left here he stomps on that stupid Leprekhn's face, which 233 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 3: I don't really care about that, but he did it. 234 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: And then this game he gives them the middle fingers repeatedly, 235 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 3: and the whole time he's like, why can't they move on? 236 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 3: What are you like, guys, We're just here to play basketball, Dude, 237 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 3: have some accountability. And again, I think fans are out 238 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 3: of line all the time. That's a different discussion. But 239 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: stars in the league don't go around and flip people off. 240 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: They just don't do it. So much of Kyrie's own 241 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 3: drama is self inflicted. It's just exhausting. The oh why 242 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 3: I don't want to be a distraction for my team 243 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 3: when so much of this is stuff he goes out 244 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 3: of his way to do so. 245 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: Yes, fans should treat people better. 246 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 3: Kyrie also needs to be a little more like Kevin Durant, 247 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 3: if you will, and a little bit less like eight 248 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 3: year old Nick Wright. 249 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: All right, what's next? Were by the way, I don't 250 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: think we're gonna hit the clock today, but we're gonna try. 251 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 6: But the Suns cruising game one and looked as dominant 252 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 6: as they did in the regular season. Luca, meanwhile, might 253 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 6: not never be one hundred percent in this postseason. So 254 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 6: here's your chance to get off your whole MAVs to 255 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 6: the Finals take. 256 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: Okay, so listen. 257 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 3: My Maps of the Finals pick had the caveat of 258 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: if Luca's back by game three, I believe, I hope, 259 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 3: I pray, You'll be back by game three. I'm not 260 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: getting off the Maps of the Finals take because if 261 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 3: he's not back by game three, then I'm allowed to 262 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 3: pick it another team. It was all Luca bass I 263 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 3: said that from the very beginning. What I will say 264 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 3: about the Sun's game, and I'm not going to mention 265 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 3: any other names any other people that may have won MVPs. 266 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 3: What I will say is Chris Paul showed you what 267 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 3: an MVP looks like. The guy who I said last 268 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 3: year should have been the league MVP. Chris Paul in 269 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 3: Game one of that Sun series had thirty points. You know, 270 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 3: last time Chris Paul scored thirty points Game one of 271 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 3: the finals last year. When all you're without scoring thirty, 272 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 3: it's almost like he could have been scoring a ton 273 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 3: of points, and yet he picks his spots. 274 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 2: He had nineteen in the fourth quarter night. 275 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 3: He only scored more than nineteen in a game, fourteen 276 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 3: dimes all year, and it's like, Oh, the best players 277 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: pick up and lift their teams in the playoffs. 278 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: I almost wish I do my thing when it comes 279 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 2: to MVPs. I'm not sure. 280 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: Okay, we're almost out of time. Back, we are out 281 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 3: of time, that's the buzzer. But we're gonna we have 282 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: a jaw topic. It looks like, go. 283 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 6: Ahead, what's last Finally, the most fun game of the weekend? 284 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: Memphis and Minnesota. Yeah, two of the youngest and most 285 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 2: fun teams in the league. This could be an epic series. Yeah. 286 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: So if you have to build around, who are you choosing? 287 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: Jaw or ant Man? Oh to it. Listen to me. 288 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 2: The answer is definitely job. 289 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 6: Okay, he definitely going with a man. But how come 290 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 6: I just think he's more solid. You know, he's durable 291 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 6: well and hurts playing. Okay, so that's a fair take. 292 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 6: I do I mean John? 293 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 3: In this game, there were like six times I was like, 294 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 3: oh my god, he's going to be hurt and he's 295 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 3: he is thin and he does hit the ground a ton. 296 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards is built like a truck. That's where I 297 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 3: agree with. I just think Jaws Upside is League MVP. 298 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 3: I think ant Man's top end is scoring chain and 299 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 3: so I don't know what the hell that sound is. 300 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 3: I think that's them telling us we got to go, 301 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 3: or it's my alarm system freaking out. I'm with Jaw, 302 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: You're with ant Man. We'll revisit in five years. We'll 303 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 3: be right back. 304 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 7: This episode is brought to you by Unstoppable.

Watch Unstoppable now exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. 312 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 2: I don't believe in calling everything sounds either. 313 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 3: I mean, listen, he's obviously an excellent player, but I 314 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 3: think this is year seven and. 315 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: He just always feels a little soft. 316 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 3: To me, they could be amazing next year if he 317 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 3: gets a little tougher because Anthony Edwards is a star. 318 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: You're right about that. 319 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: I mean, they have two number one picks that were 320 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 3: no doubt number one picks, and this was this is 321 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 3: it's like an unpopular year to have this Karl Anthony 322 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 3: Towns take. 323 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like he does great in the postseason. 324 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 2: Leader Well, this is his second time ever. 325 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 3: I mean, he's only ever been in the playoffs one 326 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 3: other time and that was the one year they had Jimmy. 327 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 3: But like, that's the thing is he has these amazing numbers, 328 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 3: and before Anthony Edwards got there, it never translated to winning. 329 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 2: I don't know, I can't prove it. 330 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 6: It's like if Anthony Anthony Edwards can begin in the postseason, 331 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 6: why I can't catch. 332 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 3: And he was, By the way, he almost set the 333 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 3: record for most points ever in a player's postseason debut. 334 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 2: Do you know a hold to that record? By the way? Uh, 335 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 2: is it Lebron? No, it's wait, hold on. If it's 336 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 2: not Lebron, and I'm bringing up who do you think 337 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 2: it is? Is Kobe? No, that's Luca. Luca forty two 338 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 2: in his first ever playoff game. Get healthy, Luca. So 339 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 2: who's somebody had thirty six? Anthony Edwards had thirty six. 340 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 3: I think this weekend Lebron's I think Lebron had a 341 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: thirty point triple double. 342 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: Was his playoff debut? I don't remember. Kobe was a 343 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: team in coming off the bench his first playoff so 344 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: good point. 345 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 3: So he wasn't the guy. But uh, but it's Luca 346 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 3: with forty two. All right, I think we're ready for 347 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 3: the b block. Demanse excellent first segment, even though I'm 348 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 3: until the audience something, we were rolling. We were fine. 349 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 3: Demons tripped over one word. He's become He's got it. 350 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 3: He's become such a diva. First of all, we haven't 351 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 3: even discussed it got he got his haircut. He didn't 352 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 3: say it was for the podcast, but I believe it 353 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 3: was for the podcast. He's like, oh, I want to 354 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 3: look a little more professional. Damn near shaved his head. 355 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 3: And then this time in the A bloc we're rolling, 356 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 3: he stumbles over one word. He's like, guys, guys, guys, 357 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 3: we got to pick. We gotta start, we gotta start 358 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 3: to stop from there. See, you gotta be fresh. Okay, 359 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 3: what are we doing here? 360 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: Wild week for Baker Mayfield. Yeah, says he wants to 361 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 2: boo people in their cubicles. Yeah. 362 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 6: Rumors connecting him to the Panthers Robby Anderson says no 363 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 6: to those, by the way, Yeah, he said he's motivated 364 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 6: by the disrespect that he seems to have no fans left. 365 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 2: Do you think we should jump in this corner? Well, 366 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 2: I'm in his corner. I would love you to join me. 367 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 3: Here's the thing, Baker is not great, but I would 368 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 3: also feel disrespected if I We're big. The Browns were 369 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 3: one and thirty one in the two years before he 370 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 3: got there. 371 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 2: Everyone just forgets this. 372 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 3: Before Baker took over, there was a bud Light promotion 373 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 3: where there was a freezer fridge of three beer that 374 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 3: they were gonna cut the chain off of once the 375 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 3: Browns won a single game, and the first game of 376 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: that promotion, the Browns tie and they're like, can we 377 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 3: open it? They didn't lose. They've lost thirty one of them, 378 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 3: thirty two. Baker gets there. Two of the four years 379 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 3: he's been good. Two of the four years he's been bad. 380 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 3: The two years he was bad, one they had the 381 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 3: worst coach maybe in an NFL history, in Freddie Kitchens. 382 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 3: The other he was injured, and they and fine, they 383 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 3: want to move on from him. For Deshaun Watson as 384 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 3: Deshaun on the field is excellent. I guess you can 385 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 3: deal with that. But the way they've handled it leaking 386 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 3: that he's not an adult and then not just releasing 387 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 3: him so you can go find another team because they 388 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 3: hope to get some sixth round pick for some cap relief. 389 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 3: I'd be angry if I were Baker two. So I 390 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 3: don't blame Baker feeling disrespected. 391 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 2: I also really hope he doesn't end up with the Panthers. 392 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 3: The Panthers are not any good and Baker if he 393 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 3: ends up with the Panthers, I think this is. I mean, 394 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 3: they just tried this with Sam Donalds. He's better than 395 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 3: Sam donald but the top three pick that didn't work 396 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 3: out in his first place, the Panthers then taking a 397 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 3: flyer on him. I don't so I agree with Robbie Anderson, 398 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 3: but for different reasons. Robby Anderson wants a better Quarterbackbby 399 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 3: Anderson should be very happy he got the contract he 400 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 3: got from the Panthers and not worry so much about 401 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,959 Speaker 3: who's coming in, especially since if Baker's not that if 402 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 3: it's not like they have a better quarterback in house 403 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 3: in Carolina, like a Baker would be the best quarterback 404 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: they've had since Cam was healthy, and Cam's not. I mean, 405 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 3: Cam's not that guy anymore. Darnold's obviously not that guy. 406 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 3: Like to me, the idea that Robbie Anderson's taking shots 407 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: at Baker Mayfield give me a break. But I really 408 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 3: hope Baker ends up with the Steelers. I think that's 409 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 3: a perfect fit for him. It allows him to try 410 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 3: to get some revenge on Cleveland. The Steelers have stability, 411 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 3: they have defense, they have all the things that I 412 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 3: think Baker can succeed with. And I think at times 413 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 3: there was a time where Baker's stock was probably a 414 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: little too high. 415 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 2: At this point, I think it's a little too low. 416 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 3: I would be fine with paying Baker Mayfield eighteen million 417 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 3: dollars a year, or eighteen million dollars for one year 418 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 3: as a tryout, as you know, to kind of test 419 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 3: the waters, if you will. So yeah, I am a 420 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 3: Baker fan. I've liked him. I think that you know, 421 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 3: he tried to play through injury and ended up costing 422 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,239 Speaker 3: him a ton of money. And I don't like how 423 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 3: the Browns have handled this whole situation all right, Time 424 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 3: now for a game, A little this or that? 425 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 2: Demonse kicked us off? Please, most interesting comeback? Forty eight 426 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 2: year old trail or Owens yep or the Warriors deathline. 427 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 3: Oh it's the I'm not interested in anything t O related. 428 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 3: Did I ever tell you? I don't think I ever 429 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 3: told you this. I guess I am a little I'll 430 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 3: talk with Warriors in a moment. I'm a little interested 431 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 3: in one thing t O related, which is like four 432 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 3: years ago, when he was getting jerked around by the 433 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 3: NFL Hall of Fame. I went on television and I 434 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 3: was like, listen, he's obviously should be a first Battle 435 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 3: of Hall of Famer. I don't care that he was 436 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 3: a jerk. He's one of the five or six best 437 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 3: receivers ever by any metric, Like give me a break 438 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 3: here to somehow got my phone number, called me and 439 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 3: basically thanked me for like forty five minutes call. 440 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think you were in college. Like 441 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 2: I don't remember where I was when I got the 442 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 2: phone call. 443 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 3: I know I was on a long drive and I 444 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 3: got some phone call from uh some it showed up, 445 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 3: like what No, it was the middle of the day 446 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: to the middle of the day, and he was so 447 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 3: like he was so appreciative of it. But then he 448 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 3: also just like went on like a long kind of 449 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 3: rambling defense of his career. But I was already defending 450 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 3: his career, Like he just wanted to like talk to 451 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 3: somebody who's like before you, buddy, Like I'm with you, 452 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 3: but I'm not interested in potential to comebacks. I am 453 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: interested in the Warriors. The Warriors right now. They they 454 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 3: again were recording right before Game two of Warriors Nuggets, 455 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 3: and god knows, listen, the Nuggets could crush him because 456 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,959 Speaker 3: the Nuggets have the best player in the league. They 457 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 3: have the soon to be two time MVP, one of 458 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 3: the greatest players ever. So god knows, Game one was 459 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 3: an aberration, and the Nuggets should, you know, at the 460 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 3: very least make this thing go seven games, since they. 461 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 2: Have clearly far and away the best player on the court. 462 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 3: And the Warriors, meanwhile, were so unconcerned with the Nuggets 463 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 3: they didn't even start Steph Curry, who's on a pitch 464 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 3: count are a minutes count, and Jordan Poole ended up 465 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 3: scoring thirty. But the Warriors, they looked scary at the 466 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 3: beginning of the year when they were helped and then 467 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 3: but they weren't even really healthy because Clay wasn't there 468 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 3: right then Clay came back, and then Draymond was out, 469 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 3: and then when Draymond came back, Steph was out. And 470 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 3: so now they're all three potentially back, plus Jordan Poole 471 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 3: has been a damn revelation. 472 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think the Warriors are. 473 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 3: You asked me earlier about me adjusting my Western Armorence 474 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 3: Finals pick. My pick is the MAVs if Luca's back 475 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 3: by game three. If he's not, I'm a West I 476 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 3: don't know what I'm going. I'm a Western Conference finalist 477 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 3: free agent. I get to survey the landscape. But the 478 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 3: Warriors right now look pretty impressive. All right, what's next? 479 00:22:54,160 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: Word? Stranger protests Kyler demanding an extension or Timberwolves fans 480 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 2: gluing and chaining themselves to the court. 481 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 3: Okay, so Timberwolves fans are mad at Timberwolves owner Glenn 482 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 3: Taylor and like his chicken farms or something. I'm more 483 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 3: interested in the Kyler Obviously. The stranger ones are the 484 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 3: people gluing in themselves the court and chaining themselves to 485 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 3: the rent. That's stranger. But the more interesting is Kyler. 486 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 3: I don't know what leverage Kyler thinks he has. Ky 487 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 3: there have been in the last handful of years, five 488 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 3: guys that after your three gotten quarterbacks, top five picks, 489 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 3: that after your three have gotten big extensions. Mahomes no doubter, 490 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 3: Josh Allen, I didn't think it was a no doubter, 491 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 3: but he got it and has been great. Deshaun Watson 492 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 3: on the field, no doubter, and then Winson golf total disasters. 493 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 3: Wins and golf were total disasters, and they had both 494 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: accomplished more than Kyler. 495 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 2: Has up to this point in his career. 496 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 3: Kyler's the smallest full time starting quarterback we've ever seen. 497 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 3: He keeps getting hurt, and he keeps tailing off at 498 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 3: the end of the year. I am not when he's 499 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 3: got two years left on his deal. Was the number 500 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 3: one pick of the draft, so he's not in a 501 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 3: situation like Lamar's in Lamar's rookie deal was four years, 502 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 3: nine million total. 503 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 2: Kyler's is four years. 504 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 3: Nine million per year and his fifth year option is 505 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 3: like around thirty million bucks. I and the idea that 506 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 3: Kyler Kyler's gonna sit out a season, really he's gonna 507 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,959 Speaker 3: I don't think he has leverage. If I were Arizona, 508 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 3: I'd be like, Kyler, you're coming back, Buddy Flatley, like, 509 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 3: we're not extending you right now. 510 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 511 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 3: I just think Kyler's getting bad advice, and I would 512 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 3: I understand why he wants to get paid right now. 513 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: But I Lamar didn't get a deal after your three. 514 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 3: Lamar won a league in BP and had won a 515 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 3: playoff game. Kyler's not done either, hasn't been close to either. 516 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 3: So I'm not sure what the end game here is. 517 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 3: And they're not going to trade him and they're not 518 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 3: going to give him a new deal and he's not 519 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 3: gonna sit out the season. 520 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: I think tyler is getting bad advice. All right, what's next? Okay, 521 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 2: more passive aggressive Lebron tweet retweeting Kuzma about the heat 522 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 2: or praising tylo Oh. 523 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 3: I think it's the praise of Tylou when he's saying 524 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 3: the heat. He's talked about the heat. Developing players. One 525 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 3: thing I will give the Lakers credit for this. They 526 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 3: did a good job in developing players. They developed Caruso, 527 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 3: they helped develop Kuzma. Those guys were not, you know, 528 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: lottery picks. So I don't think that was that passive aggressive. 529 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 3: The Tylou thing is definitely passive for us. And now Tyleru. 530 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 3: They ended up blowing that fourth quarter lead. Port Clippers 531 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 3: pulled George help and safety protocols. 532 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 2: They're out. 533 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 3: But regardless, I mean, Lebron gets to just be right 534 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 3: about that. He wanted them to hire Tylou. They interviewed 535 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 3: Tyleru and they offered him the job, but they offered 536 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 3: him a paltry salary and not enough years, and so 537 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 3: the Lakers end up going with Vogel. Tyler then goes 538 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 3: to the Clippers and proves to be one of the 539 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 3: very best coaches in the sport. So yeah, like that's 540 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 3: passive aggressive, but it is also accurate. All right, what's 541 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 3: like we might actually hit the clock this segment. This 542 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 3: would be amazing. We got a minute left. 543 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 2: What's next? Dog with better media training? Yeah, the dog 544 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: from Baker's podcast or our guy Dexter. Oh okay, well 545 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 2: that's yeah. 546 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 3: So I don't think that was Baker's dog, but he's 547 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 3: sprawled out on the couch, spread eagle and this is 548 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 3: well two things. One is so look at this, and 549 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,479 Speaker 3: Wilde made this point on the show, Baker, he can 550 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 3: need better people around you, man, to tell you the 551 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 3: couch and the dog, like, your first public appearance can't 552 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 3: be with this dog with his ass on the ground, 553 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 3: his genitals in the air, like he just can't. 554 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: That just can't be. 555 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 3: With that said, I still think he's better behaved than 556 00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 3: our dog. Let's Deanna Danielle, somebody let Dexter out. Let's 557 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 3: see if somebody let Dexter out of the the bathroom please, 558 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 3: So our dog is did you guys open the door? Okay, 559 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 3: just let Dexter, just open the door and let's see 560 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 3: what he does.

In final segment, What's right with 581 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 2: Nick Wright? 582 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 3: Show and podcast and YouTube show episode number eleven. Usually 583 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 3: in this final segment, Demons catches me off guard. Today, 584 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 3: I actually kind of want to talk something sports related 585 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 3: on the catch you Up card a little bit, which 586 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 3: is you and I need to go to either game 587 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 3: three or game four of Nets Celtics in brook so 588 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 3: we should go. But here's what just to put a 589 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 3: pin in, and we don't. There's I want to talk 590 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 3: about the Kyrie stuff a little more. You know, who's 591 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 3: actually getting a pass or something of a past and 592 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 3: very lucky Kyrie did the middle fingers. 593 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 2: Nonsense, it's Durant. 594 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 3: Because Durant was really bad. Durant was really bad in 595 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,959 Speaker 3: that game, and nobody seems to care. And but I 596 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 3: mean not, he's not getting crushed for it. Now, you're 597 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 3: allowed to have a bad game. But when the nets 598 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 3: entire playing is Katie and Kyrie both be brilliant, that's 599 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 3: how we can overcome things. And Kyrie was brilliant and 600 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 3: Durant was nine of twenty four with a half dozen turnovers. 601 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 2: That's a problem. 602 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 3: But set that back by the way that actually I 603 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 3: just realized that means Durant's nine of his last thirty 604 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 3: in the playoffs, because he did go zero for. 605 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 2: Six in that game seven overtime at home. 606 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 3: The game, Everyone's like, oh, if his foot wasn't on 607 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 3: the line, Yeah, his foot wasn't on the line in regulation, 608 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 3: and then in overtime if he had made a single 609 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 3: shot instead of going over six. But no, you never 610 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 3: talked bad about Kevin Rant. You know, he's a god. 611 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 3: I'm a peasant. I know these things. But to the point, Demons, 612 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 3: I'm just curious if we go to Barclays and let's 613 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 3: say you wear that Celtics cherson and I'm just me, 614 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 3: do you think we'll get hackled a little bit by 615 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 3: the crowd? 616 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 6: Then yeah, right, definitely get some side eyes at the. 617 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 2: At the very least, but maybe even people shouted us. Right. 618 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 2: Could you see a scenario where people maybe even curse 619 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 2: it me? Could you see that happen potentially? 620 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 6: Yeah? 621 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 3: How do you think Fox, the good people at Blue 622 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 3: Duk Media who run this thing. 623 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,719 Speaker 2: Would be if I reacted the way Kyrie. 624 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 3: If every time somebody said something to me at Barclay's, 625 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 3: I just gave him one of these. 626 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,719 Speaker 2: I don't know if they blur this or not, but 627 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 2: they gave one of those. 628 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 3: If somebody said Nick, right, you suck, and I say 629 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 3: what Kyrie said, and I say it back, like, hey, 630 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. 631 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 2: I'm just giving it back to them. You know what 632 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 2: I mean. It's just you know, I'm here for the 633 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: I'm here for the smoke. Uh huh. I don't know. 634 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 6: I mean that is kind of I understand that you're 635 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 6: the one in like the public eye and like you 636 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 6: have the following or whatever, but at the end of 637 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 6: the day, like you know, everybody's human, so it's like 638 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 6: the heckling. 639 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 2: It comes to a points where. 640 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 6: It's like it's it's not basketball, like you're coming at 641 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 6: me as another human being. But I understand, like the 642 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 6: middle finger might be a bit much, and it also 643 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 6: depends on like what it is that they're saying, like Kyrie, 644 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 6: you suck. 645 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 2: I feel like doesn't know. 646 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 3: And then he said that they called him the B 647 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 3: word and the P word. I understand that that that Listen. 648 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 3: If if my dad were at the game last night, 649 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, pop's, how was the game? 650 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 2: He was like it was amazing. 651 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 3: I kept calling Kyrie Irving a bit until he flipped 652 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 3: me off. I even mortified, like you're seventy years old 653 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 3: stopping like that. Of course, it's embarrassing behavior by the fans. 654 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 3: But what Kyrie doesn't seem to quite get is this, 655 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 3: in an odd way, it is that level of passion 656 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 3: that is why the NBA is as popular as it is, 657 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 3: and people and the players make as much money as 658 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 3: they do because people are irrational about this specific form 659 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 3: of entertainment. They care that much about it. That doesn't 660 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,719 Speaker 3: excuse the behavior. And I think in general most fan 661 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 3: behavior a lot of times is reprehensible. But the guys 662 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 3: have learned over their careers. The stars understand there's twenty 663 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 3: thousand people in this arena. If one percent of them 664 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 3: are total jackasses and another one percent are just hammered, 665 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 3: that's four hundred people that could be out of line 666 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 3: at any given time. So reacting to it is not 667 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 3: in my interest. All the other stars seem to get it, 668 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 3: and so and I understand Kyrie gets it. 669 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 6: What tell me, no, no, no, that was bad. 670 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 2: I was going to say something about Patrick Beverley, but 671 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,719 Speaker 2: that's not really his problem. 672 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 3: No, it's problems with the fans. His problem is problem 673 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 3: is with with skill levels. His problem is with not 674 00:32:52,240 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 3: being a good enough basketball plas that's today's show.
