But before we get 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.800 to what we are talking about today, which will be 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.360 a lot of the NBA playoffs, here is what we 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.640 are not talking about today. What did not make the 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.119 show today is some dude on the Reds who threw 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.920 one hundred and two miles per hour Green Bay, replacing 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:48.200 DeVante Adams with Super Bowl champion Sammy Watkins. And Brady's 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.320 last touchdown ball, which wasn't the last touchdown ball because 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.760 that was a sham retirement just to get to the Dolphins. 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.320 That guy who paid the five hundred and eighteen thousand 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.440 he ended up actually not having the five hundred and 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.160 eighteen thousand dollars. Right now, I was win though, I 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.120 pivot to Demons and he typically tells me what we 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.560 are talking about. But first we have some explaining to do. 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.720 Demanse is a Celtics fan. Why are you a Celtics fan? 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.400 What's the what's the genesis of your Celtics fandom? 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:13.040 Oh? 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:17.200 I just love doing the ray Allen Rondo and Kevin Garnett, 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:17.880 Paul Pierce. 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.959 I love that love that team. Rondo was your favorite player. 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.000 Now you're not. As we will discuss in a moment, 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.320 a big Kyrie Irving theme. People are gonna think that 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.200 is a Kyrie Irving Celtics jersey. 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:28.920 It is not. 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:33.280 However, that is a Nick Right Celtics jersey. You don't know, however, 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.680 how I got this. I was given this jersey by 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:42.639 none other than total charlatan, politically disingenuous former NBA player 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.440 in this cant in his canton once upon a time, 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.760 came on my television show, rubbed my head to see 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.359 if my hair was real ala a Donald Trump, and 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.880 then gave me this jersey. So it actually says right 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:56.680 on the back, but we are going to call it 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.240 a Peyton Pritchard jersey because Peyton is number one eleven 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.359 for the Celtics. So you are a Celtics fan, You 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.480 are not a Kyrie fan. I think we're probably starting 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.560 with the Celtics, so good morning, good to see you. 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:07.400 What are we starting with. 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.400 Let's start with the Nets and the Celtics. Yep, are Celtics. 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.600 My guys hate him and a buzzer beater in Game 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:14.280 one yep. 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.760 I know you want to kill Brooklyn but you know, 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.000 it's just one game, and Katie isn't going to be 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:20.760 that bad again. 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.880 Okay, they might get Simmons back, and they only lost 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.400 fout one with Katie having a really bad game, So 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.560 they actually shouldn't They actually feel pretty good about that. 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.880 Yeah, So that's that's similar to what Chris Brussard said 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.400 this morning, not the on Monday morning I should say, 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.840 which is, hey, they should feel good. Katie is not 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.440 going to be that bad again and they only lost 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.600 by one. That's not how it works in the playoffs. 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.520 First of all, Katie and Kyrie combined for sixty two points, 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.320 are nearly fifty percent shooting. So while Katie won't be 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:52.120 that bad, Kyrie won't be that goodtill gonna combined around 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:56.360 sixty to seventy points per game. But every single moment 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.680 in these playoffs, when the margins are this thin count, 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.840 and no, you can't feel good about losing the game. 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.560 When you have a three point lead with forty five 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:10.520 seconds left and you give up two layups to lose Boston, 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.280 it's a Jaalen Brown layup. Then they have a terrible 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.680 possession does Brooklyn on the other end that ends in 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:19.240 a Kevin Durant contested twenty seven footer and then they 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:23.000 give up another layup to lose the game. Boston didn't 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.160 have to take a single jump shot to beat them. 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.600 That's first of all, second of all, and I've been 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.400 hammering the coaching point all year. I will continue to 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.640 hammer it. Either you don't have the roster of a 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.760 team that has any chance can beat for a title, 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:37.320 or your coach doesn't know what he's doing. 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:37.960 What do I mean? 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.599 After Kyrie hit that three at the end of the 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.159 game with forty five seconds left put them up three, 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.240 Boston called timeout. So Brooklyn then had the chance to 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.200 put their very best defensive lineup on the court, the 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.960 best five defenders they can come up with, and then 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.280 if they get a stop, all time out themselves, put 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.640 the best offensive lineup on the court. And you know 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.120 who took the court. Kevin Durant, Shore Claxton, good call, 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:05.760 Bruce Brown. I don't know Kyrie Irving and Gooram Dragons. 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.680 So either Steve Nash doesn't know what he's doing, or 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.279 he does know what he's doing. And that's your best 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.200 five defenders. And if your best five defenders, two fifths of 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.280 them are thirty six year old Goran Dragic and Kyrie Irving. 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.919 That's a problem. And if you watch that again, is 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.599 the second to last offensive play for Boston. Boston because 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.760 they have a real coach and they have real continuity. 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:32.400 All they do is they have whoever's Durant and Claxton 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.000 are guarding. Those two guys set a screen for each 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.120 other thirty five feet from the basket, draw Brooklyn's only 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.919 two legitimate defenders all the way outside of the paint. 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:42.400 And then Jalen Brown gets. 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.360 To go one on one on Bruce Brown. So that's 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.560 a huge problem for them. And then also, and this 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.440 is where I want to give Boston a ton of credit, 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.159 the fact that they got that rebound off the Durant 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:57.400 miss with fourteen seconds left Forford gets the rebound, he 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.720 kicks it. I don't know if it was White or 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.120 Perch or whoever was out there. Who then kicks it 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.640 to Brown, who kicks it to Smart, who find Sadam. 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.560 All five guys touched the ball. Boston doesn't call time out. 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.480 That is like that. 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:11.960 That is a team that. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.400 Knows how to play together, as opposed to a team 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:18.840 that has two sensational offensive players and that's it, and 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.120 now quickly before and we're going to spend time on 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.320 this because this is the most interesting game of the weekend. Also, 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:28.039 Durant's got to be better. Durrant demandsay, we were watching 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:29.280 the very beginning of that game. 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:30.280 We watched the whole thing. 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.080 But in the very beginning of the game, how many 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.360 times did Durant just have the ball taken from it? 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:35.440 Just get bullets? 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.120 I mean, he had half a dozen turnovers and the 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.120 first handful of them were the ball. He just wasn't 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.120 ready for the physicality of the game. Boston's not going 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:47.359 to stop that, the idea that ball. Like Boston's been 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.320 the number one defense in basketball for four months now, 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.039 They're going to keep bringing that level of physicality. I 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.440 don't think Brooklyn's ready for it. And Brooklyn now essentially 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.240 has to win five out of seven, which they because 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.280 they had yesterday or Sunday's game one and they blew it. 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.160 Okay, there's other stuff to talk about this. 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:09.120 Game now, Nikyrie, we got the full Kyrie experience Sunday. 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:14.040 He had thirty nine, six and five and multiple middle fingers. 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.480 Then he said he was just matching Boston fans energy 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.200 after the game and said that there's only so much 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:20.720 you could take. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.120 What do you think how fans treated him and how 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:24.760 he reacted? 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.240 All right, listen, I am not going to sit here 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.640 and defend a Boston sports fan. 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:30.560 I'm not. 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.720 That is not what I want to do. And I'm 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.640 sure they were vulgar to him. I believe him, all right. 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:42.560 And in general, fans, particularly Boston fans, have a bad 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.800 rep Utah Jazz fans have a bad rep. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:46.440 Yeah. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.760 Particularly that's a whole other story. We get into it 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.360 at some point. Philly fans have not the greatest rep 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.960 There are certain arenas you know are going to be 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:59.200 extra intense if you will. With that said, of course, 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.800 you're not supposed to flip off the fans like those. 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.200 And the thing with Kyrie. 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.960 I'm gonna tell a quick story from me as a child, 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.120 and I don't know if you know the story or not, 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:11.679 and it's not going to make sense in the beginning, 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.040 but I'll bring it all together as. 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:13.840 I so often. 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.360 Okay, So, one time I was with my I was 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.320 probably eight years old. I was with my parents that 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.720 were shopping for lights. I was at a place called 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.760 Rinson House of Lights in Kansas City. It's a giant, 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.880 like almost Ikea sized places like lights and chandeliers. It's 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:35.520 family owned, and there's a big, friendly dog who just 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.040 like stays in the store and lays down. So while 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.320 my parents are looking for lights, we were like, oh, 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:41.960 you can pet the dog and play with the dog. 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.080 And about ten minutes. 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.800 Do you know the story, About ten minutes later, you 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.600 hear the dog bark and I'm trying and I have 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.080 two giant teeth marks on either side of my face, 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.880 like he bit my face like that, and I'm I'm 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.840 trying and I'm upset, and the owners are so apologetically like, 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.640 oh my god, knowing this has ever happened, and my 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.000 dad calls me over. 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.200 It's like what happened? And I'm like, I don't know. 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.080 I was petting him and what did I just kind 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.680 of nonchalantly if you remember the story, tell my dad 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:17.040 I did. 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.360 Do you remember? Did you grab me like you grab 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:21.000 his tailor? 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.560 Is I put my finger up the dog's nose. Yeah, 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.880 I was a little kid and I put my finger 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.480 up the dog's nose and he bit me. 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.199 And I was horrified that he and the dogs shouldn't 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:31.600 have bit me. 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.240 But I also shouldn't have been shocked that if I 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.559 put my finger up the dog's nose that he might 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:41.600 react for it. In this analogy, Kyrie Irving is eight 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:46.320 year old me and Celtics fans are the dog. Should 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.280 they be calling him the P word and the B word? 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:54.840 No? Should Kyrie be shocked by it? No? And Kyrie's 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:56.560 woe is me? Why did? 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.240 Why can't they get over it? Well, let's go through 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.000 the quick history of this. Okay, Kyrie gets to Boston 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.679 his first year there, he oddly skips out on even 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.200 showing up for Game seven of the playoffs, sitting on 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:09.640 the bench. 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:10.760 He's not with his team. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.080 Then next year, before the season starts, he holds all 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.560 Prescotmerdce's like, oh, love to finish my career here, if 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.240 you'll have me. He immediately starts planning to go play 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.960 with Kevin Durant, gets caught talking to Kevin Durant about 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:25.839 this the All Star Game, gets asked about it, and 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.199 it's like, oh, my god, friends can't talk with friends. 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:29.360 What the hell are you guys talking about? 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.720 By the way, sidebar our young players are totally selfish. 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.360 I don't know how to win. They need to follow me. 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.800 We then get to the playoffs. They have a good 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.480 first round of the playoffs. Round two they play Milwaukee. 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:44.720 Kyrie is awful in that series and demands to guard Yiannis. 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:49.680 Giannis destroys him repeatedly and then he immediately bounces. He 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.000 then last year in the playoffs, gets to Boston, or 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.160 before that, even before he even gets to Boston. First 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.120 game back in TD Garden, he's saving the arena. Remember 0:10:58.160 --> 0:10:59.800 that he's saved in the arena. Then in the playoffs, 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:03.080 left here he stomps on that stupid Leprekhn's face, which 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.960 I don't really care about that, but he did it. 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.760 And then this game he gives them the middle fingers repeatedly, 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.360 and the whole time he's like, why can't they move on? 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:18.080 What are you like, guys, We're just here to play basketball, Dude, 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:23.280 have some accountability. And again, I think fans are out 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:27.120 of line all the time. That's a different discussion. But 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.800 stars in the league don't go around and flip people off. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.400 They just don't do it. So much of Kyrie's own 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:40.160 drama is self inflicted. It's just exhausting. The oh why 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.560 I don't want to be a distraction for my team 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.360 when so much of this is stuff he goes out 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:46.640 of his way to do so. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.280 Yes, fans should treat people better. 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:52.040 Kyrie also needs to be a little more like Kevin Durant, 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.040 if you will, and a little bit less like eight 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:54.960 year old Nick Wright. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.480 All right, what's next? Were by the way, I don't 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.360 think we're gonna hit the clock today, but we're gonna try. 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.360 But the Suns cruising game one and looked as dominant 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.920 as they did in the regular season. Luca, meanwhile, might 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.400 not never be one hundred percent in this postseason. So 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.319 here's your chance to get off your whole MAVs to 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:13.040 the Finals take. 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:14.200 Okay, so listen. 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.520 My Maps of the Finals pick had the caveat of 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:22.080 if Luca's back by game three, I believe, I hope, 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.480 I pray, You'll be back by game three. I'm not 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.520 getting off the Maps of the Finals take because if 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.319 he's not back by game three, then I'm allowed to 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.600 pick it another team. It was all Luca bass I 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.680 said that from the very beginning. What I will say 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.080 about the Sun's game, and I'm not going to mention 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.280 any other names any other people that may have won MVPs. 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.440 What I will say is Chris Paul showed you what 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.719 an MVP looks like. The guy who I said last 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.880 year should have been the league MVP. Chris Paul in 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.280 Game one of that Sun series had thirty points. You know, 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.520 last time Chris Paul scored thirty points Game one of 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.480 the finals last year. When all you're without scoring thirty, 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.640 it's almost like he could have been scoring a ton 0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.920 of points, and yet he picks his spots. 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.719 He had nineteen in the fourth quarter night. 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:06.079 He only scored more than nineteen in a game, fourteen 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.800 dimes all year, and it's like, Oh, the best players 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.520 pick up and lift their teams in the playoffs. 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.000 I almost wish I do my thing when it comes 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:16.200 to MVPs. I'm not sure. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.160 Okay, we're almost out of time. Back, we are out 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.240 of time, that's the buzzer. But we're gonna we have 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:21.800 a jaw topic. It looks like, go. 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.160 Ahead, what's last Finally, the most fun game of the weekend? 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.400 Memphis and Minnesota. Yeah, two of the youngest and most 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.480 fun teams in the league. This could be an epic series. Yeah. 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.160 So if you have to build around, who are you choosing? 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.600 Jaw or ant Man? Oh to it. Listen to me. 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:39.920 The answer is definitely job. 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.560 Okay, he definitely going with a man. But how come 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.360 I just think he's more solid. You know, he's durable 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.040 well and hurts playing. Okay, so that's a fair take. 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.199 I do I mean John? 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.360 In this game, there were like six times I was like, 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.120 oh my god, he's going to be hurt and he's 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.320 he is thin and he does hit the ground a ton. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.840 Anthony Edwards is built like a truck. That's where I 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:07.800 agree with. I just think Jaws Upside is League MVP. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:12.000 I think ant Man's top end is scoring chain and 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:13.839 so I don't know what the hell that sound is. 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.480 I think that's them telling us we got to go, 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.320 or it's my alarm system freaking out. I'm with Jaw, 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.640 You're with ant Man. We'll revisit in five years. We'll 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:22.320 be right back. 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.960 This episode is brought to you by Unstoppable.

Watch Unstoppable now exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. 0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.160 I don't believe in calling everything sounds either. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:04.560 I mean, listen, he's obviously an excellent player, but I 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.240 think this is year seven and. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.480 He just always feels a little soft. 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:14.520 To me, they could be amazing next year if he 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.640 gets a little tougher because Anthony Edwards is a star. 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:18.760 You're right about that. 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.160 I mean, they have two number one picks that were 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.840 no doubt number one picks, and this was this is 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.120 it's like an unpopular year to have this Karl Anthony 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:29.720 Towns take. 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.720 It doesn't seem like he does great in the postseason. 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.800 Leader Well, this is his second time ever. 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:35.560 I mean, he's only ever been in the playoffs one 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.440 other time and that was the one year they had Jimmy. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.360 But like, that's the thing is he has these amazing numbers, 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.480 and before Anthony Edwards got there, it never translated to winning. 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.040 I don't know, I can't prove it. 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.480 It's like if Anthony Anthony Edwards can begin in the postseason, 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:51.720 why I can't catch. 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.560 And he was, By the way, he almost set the 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:58.080 record for most points ever in a player's postseason debut. 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.240 Do you know a hold to that record? By the way? Uh, 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.760 is it Lebron? No, it's wait, hold on. If it's 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:05.480 not Lebron, and I'm bringing up who do you think 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:09.840 it is? Is Kobe? No, that's Luca. Luca forty two 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.520 in his first ever playoff game. Get healthy, Luca. So 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:17.200 who's somebody had thirty six? Anthony Edwards had thirty six. 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.720 I think this weekend Lebron's I think Lebron had a 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:21.720 thirty point triple double. 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.440 Was his playoff debut? I don't remember. Kobe was a 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.480 team in coming off the bench his first playoff so 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:28.040 good point. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.280 So he wasn't the guy. But uh, but it's Luca 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.400 with forty two. All right, I think we're ready for 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.840 the b block. Demanse excellent first segment, even though I'm 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.400 until the audience something, we were rolling. We were fine. 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.680 Demons tripped over one word. He's become He's got it. 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.040 He's become such a diva. First of all, we haven't 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.760 even discussed it got he got his haircut. He didn't 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.440 say it was for the podcast, but I believe it 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.240 was for the podcast. He's like, oh, I want to 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.880 look a little more professional. Damn near shaved his head. 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.120 And then this time in the A bloc we're rolling, 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.520 he stumbles over one word. He's like, guys, guys, guys, 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.400 we got to pick. We gotta start, we gotta start 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.639 to stop from there. See, you gotta be fresh. Okay, 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:05.640 what are we doing here? 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.960 Wild week for Baker Mayfield. Yeah, says he wants to 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.199 boo people in their cubicles. Yeah. 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:15.560 Rumors connecting him to the Panthers Robby Anderson says no 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.840 to those, by the way, Yeah, he said he's motivated 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.280 by the disrespect that he seems to have no fans left. 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.160 Do you think we should jump in this corner? Well, 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.280 I'm in his corner. I would love you to join me. 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.120 Here's the thing, Baker is not great, but I would 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.760 also feel disrespected if I We're big. The Browns were 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.359 one and thirty one in the two years before he 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:36.880 got there. 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:39.159 Everyone just forgets this. 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.920 Before Baker took over, there was a bud Light promotion 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:48.520 where there was a freezer fridge of three beer that 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.159 they were gonna cut the chain off of once the 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.600 Browns won a single game, and the first game of 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.840 that promotion, the Browns tie and they're like, can we 0:17:57.880 --> 0:17:59.959 open it? They didn't lose. They've lost thirty one of them, 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.800 thirty two. Baker gets there. Two of the four years 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.720 he's been good. Two of the four years he's been bad. 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.119 The two years he was bad, one they had the 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.520 worst coach maybe in an NFL history, in Freddie Kitchens. 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.679 The other he was injured, and they and fine, they 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.360 want to move on from him. For Deshaun Watson as 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.040 Deshaun on the field is excellent. I guess you can 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.840 deal with that. But the way they've handled it leaking 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.640 that he's not an adult and then not just releasing 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.359 him so you can go find another team because they 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.240 hope to get some sixth round pick for some cap relief. 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.960 I'd be angry if I were Baker two. So I 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.520 don't blame Baker feeling disrespected. 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.680 I also really hope he doesn't end up with the Panthers. 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.480 The Panthers are not any good and Baker if he 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.479 ends up with the Panthers, I think this is. I mean, 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:47.800 they just tried this with Sam Donalds. He's better than 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.960 Sam donald but the top three pick that didn't work 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.399 out in his first place, the Panthers then taking a 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.600 flyer on him. I don't so I agree with Robbie Anderson, 0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:00.240 but for different reasons. Robby Anderson wants a better Quarterbackbby 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.040 Anderson should be very happy he got the contract he 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.640 got from the Panthers and not worry so much about 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.959
