- 2:25New York Sports, Loudmouth New York, check it out.
- 2:29And we have over 110 subscribers right now as we speak.
- 2:33So it's pretty incredible what we're doing even on that being
- 2:36that we have a new channel and we're trying to build from
- 2:39scratch. Speaking, yes.
- 2:42Speaking of building from scratch is Doc Rivers.
- 2:45We Milwaukee's going to have to be building from scratch now.
- 2:49Doc Rivers and the Bucks have parted ways after a 32 and 50
- 2:52record, snapping a streak of non consecutive playoff appearances
- 2:57by the Bucks. The Bucks will pay a remaining 8
- 3:02million on his contract and also stay, I'm sorry, still have a
- 3:06pay remain if they have to pay remaining 4 million to Adrian
- 3:10Griffin, the Adrian Griffin deal.
- 3:13The Bucks have mentioned Two Rivers.
- 3:16He wanted him to play a stay with the organization in the
- 3:19front offense role, but Doc said he is likely to take a break.
- 3:24Former Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins and former Lakers
- 3:28head coach Darvin Ham are the favorites to get the Bucks job,
- 3:32and former Pelicans and Hornets head coach James Borrego is in
- 3:38the mix as well. Doc finished with a 97 and 100
- 3:42and free record and zero playoff wins since taking over the
- 3:47Buck's job since January 2024. The Bucks have five players with
- 3:52player options after the season. With the big question remaining,
- 3:57where is Giannis going? Is he going to be traded in the
- 4:00offseason after 13 years with Milwaukee?
- 4:04Well, I don't know if this is going to keep Giannis around,
- 4:07and I don't think it will. But I know Giannis had no
- 4:10interest to staying there with Doc Rivers as a coach.
- 4:12I could believe that. I think anybody that watches
- 4:16Giannis and understands how Giannis is, he's passionate
- 4:19about the game and who he is as a player, what he stood for and
- 4:23what he stood for for this team and his organization for so many
- 4:26years. 13 years is not something to scratch about.
- 4:30It's been pretty amazing what Giannis has done.
- 4:32Being drafted in the teens from Milwaukee.
- 4:36A lot of people question if Milwaukee was putting all their
- 4:39eggs in this kids basket coming from Greece.
- 4:42And really a lot of people believe that if he wasn't
- 4:45drafted in the top 15, maybe he never plays in the NBA and he's
- 4:48going to be known as an international phenom.
- 4:51Nevertheless, Doc Rivers has failed.
- 4:55Say whatever you want. You want to say he's a Hall of
- 4:56Famer. We've argued this already.
- 4:58I'm not going to sit here on the show and say anything more about
- 5:01is he a Hall of Famer or is he not?
- 5:03You know what my thought is he has done a terrible job.
- 5:09Adrian Griffin before he got fired, was 19 or 18 games over
- 5:15500. Doc takes over, they lose 8
- 5:19games in a row, eight games in a row.
- 5:23And, and I'm going to say this, I'm not saying Doc Rivers can't
- 5:26coach. He's definitely a decent NBA
- 5:29coach. He was one of a lot of games.
- 5:32He's not a winning NBA coach. Winning championships is
- 5:36everything. You want to tell me anything you
- 5:38want to believe about Pat Riley and Phil Jackson?
- 5:41These guys were born winners. They won and they won for
- 5:45multiple championship teams. Think about it.
- 5:49Pat Riley won with Miami, not not just as an executive.
- 5:52He won as a coach, he won in LA, the Showtime Lakers.
- 5:57Everybody talks about the greatest time for basketball and
- 6:00Laker fans was when Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar,
- 6:04James Worthy, They were there. They were at a high level.
- 6:07Lakers were playing at such a high level and he was taking
- 6:09over for a coach that was there was in the Finals.
- 6:14My thought here is when you look at Milwaukee, they need to
- 6:19rebuild. They need to bring a young guy
- 6:21here. I don't know if Darvin Ham, who
- 6:24failed over there with the Lakers.
- 6:27Taylor Jenkins is an interesting play.
- 6:29You know, coach, players coach. I was going to say players
- 6:32coach. I like Taylor Jenkins.
- 6:34He was a guy that the Knicks were interested in.
- 6:37James Borrego, I, I don't know much about himself, but he he
- 6:41has proven himself over the years, especially some of the
- 6:45development of young players over there with Charlotte.
- 6:49I just think when you look at Milwaukee, why would you want to
- 6:53go there? There's nothing there.
- 6:55The organization is rebuilding. Giannis wants out.
- 6:59Giannis is not staying there. He wants to win a championship.
- 7:01There's no way Giannis is going to stay there in a rebuilding
- 7:03stage. He wants to win a second
- 7:05championship. He's not going to win it in
- 7:08Milwaukee. So Milwaukee fans, you best
- 7:10believe Giannis is gone. He's gone.
- 7:14Does he go to the Lakers? Does he go to OK C?
- 7:16Does he go to the Knicks? Those are all arguments and it's
- 7:19fair we won't know until the season is over and the draft is
- 7:23over. I don't even think he gets
- 7:24traded before the draft. I think he gets traded after Doc
- 7:31Rivers coming out in the way he spoke to the team.
- 7:36Google me making it seem like he won multiple championships and
- 7:42he stood for basketball in his basketball knowledge.
- 7:45Well, if he was so smart wanting his son ever become successful
- 7:49as a basketball player in the NBA and all the teams, all the
- 7:52players that he's coached over the years and most players that
- 7:56were coached by him. First of all, I want to know
- 8:02who's going to present him at the at the, at the awards, the
- 8:06Hall of Fame. No, I'm just saying I would like
- 8:09to see who's going to present it because it's not going to be any
- 8:12of the players he's coached. Because what I've read in the
- 8:15past, Kevin Garnett, Paul appears, even though they
- 8:20respect him, didn't really like Doc Rivers at the tail end of
- 8:25their time with the the Celtics. That's why they wanted out.
- 8:31I've heard through the Grapevine that Chris Paul and Blake
- 8:34Griffin weren't too fond of Doc Rivers at the tail end of his
- 8:38time with the Clippers. The 76ers, Joellen Bead.
- 8:41How many times out there in public did he throw Doc Rivers
- 8:45under the bus? We know a guy that's got
- 8:48overpaid over there from LSU. You know, you know what I'm
- 8:53talking about. That made himself a lot of money
- 8:55with the 76ers and eventually was traded to the Nets and that
- 8:59he was not too fond of Doc Rivers Milwaukee.
- 9:05Now there's a lot of questions if Giannis even respected Doc
- 9:10Rivers achievements because if you know and understand Doc
- 9:13Rivers, Doc Rivers won a title with an elite superstar driven
- 9:18team. I don't care what anybody says.
- 9:22That team from top to bottom, you can argue that might be one
- 9:25of the greatest Celtic teams of all time.
- 9:27You can argue that. You can argue I don't think they
- 9:30are. I think the 88 Celtics, I think
- 9:32it was 86 or 87, Those Celtics, that team was absolutely loaded.
- 9:40Doc Rivers, if you look at greatest coaches of all time, I
- 9:46would say good coach with a lot of wins that never achieved the
- 9:53goals that he had as a head coach and that means
- 9:57championships. Phil Jackson said it best in his
- 9:59book. Anybody check out his book?
- 10:03Winning championships is better and more important than winning
- 10:08basketball games. Championships mean everything,
- 10:12no matter how talented you are and how talented players.
- 10:15And Phil Jackson, you can't argue.
- 10:17Phil Jackson coached Kobe Bryant and Shaq in the primes of their
- 10:20careers. Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen
- 10:23in the primes of their career. I mean, both guys are two of the
- 10:26greatest, not just defensive players, two of the biggest
- 10:29faces of the NBA in the 90s and the late and early 80s.
- 10:34Well, late 80s because Scotty was drafted in 8788.
- 10:40I just look at when I look at talent and I look at evaluators,
- 10:44guys that have been driven forces to organizations.
- 10:48I don't think of Doc Rivers. I'm sorry, I don't.
- 10:51Why do everybody talk about when the when the Celtics won a
- 10:54championship, the achievements that Tom Thibodeau made as a
- 10:58defensive minded coach on that bench?
- 11:01If you watch the I don't, I don't remember what it was
- 11:03called the Celtic dynasty. Kevin Garnett was on it and he
- 11:07says Doc Rivers was great and he had great game plans, but he
- 11:10said Tom Tippett was calling the defensive plays.
- 11:14I don't know if that's throwing Doc Rivers under the bus, but
- 11:17it's it doesn't look good for the head coach.
- 11:20It doesn't look good when your superstar big man went out there
- 11:24and I guess portrayed you as a great coach.
- 11:28But then he wasn't calling the defensive play calling.
- 11:32He wasn't the mastermind of the defense.
- 11:33That's. Why you hired time to?
- 11:35My thought here is when I look at Milwaukee, Milwaukee made one
- 11:41of the worst moves in their history, hiring Doc Rivers
- 11:45because they were not ready to win.
- 11:47They had Damian Lillard there that shouldn't have been there.
- 11:50That move made no sense. To this day I wonder why Damian
- 11:53Lillard wanted to go. They made it wasn't money
- 11:55because he was making more than enough money with the Portland
- 11:58Trail Blazers. He was.
- 12:00He was the highest paid NBA player this season.
- 12:02He was making 60 million a year. He signed A2 year extension with
- 12:05them. He was making 120 for two years.
- 12:07Why did he leave Portland by the way?
- 12:09When he leaves Milwaukee goes back to Portland.
- 12:11There was no reason for him to leave.
- 12:13Remember, his agent wanted to only trade him to Miami too.
- 12:16It made no sense. None of it made sense.
- 12:20But guess what? Doc Rivers went over there
- 12:22because he thought he can coach Damian Lillard and Giannis and
- 12:25turn them into a championship team, which, by the way,
- 12:28everywhere he's gone. When you had a, a duo, and I'm
- 12:32saying it a duo, the Clippers, remember that Lob City, Chris
- 12:38Paul, who you can argue is the greatest point guard of his era,
- 12:44and Blake Griffin, one of the more electrifying dunkers we've
- 12:47seen in the NBA in about 30 years.
- 12:51And, and Blake was good. Was he an elite player?
- 12:53He was a, he was an All Star player, but he wasn't an elite,
- 12:57elite player, but he was great. Those Clipper teams with the
- 13:00talent that they had, they had the 6th minute of the year, they
- 13:02were good, but they can never get over the hump because guess
- 13:05what? Guess what they had to deal
- 13:06with? They had to deal with players
- 13:10like LeBron James. They had to deal with Dallas.
- 13:14Dallas was always a good team. You go up and down to OK, C was
- 13:18developing at the time. You look at all these teams, the
- 13:21the Western Conference, Yokich, we saw him the the Timberwolves.
- 13:29My problem here is everywhere Doc has gone, he's ruined those
- 13:33teams. He's ruined those organizations.
- 13:37You can say whatever you want, Quentin.
- 13:39We know you back up Doc Rivers. You died.
- 13:41You you backed up Ronnie James this year.
- 13:44I mean, tonight you've backed him up.
- 13:46You back up some of your takes, which is outlandishly crazy, but
- 13:49I love you. They're outlandishly crazy.
- 13:52But it makes it makes sense to you and only you.
- 13:56What makes no sense to this take about Doc Rivers is why did you
- 14:01step down? Why don't you just tell the
- 14:03truth? Nobody wanted you there.
- 14:06Nobody. The organization can't stand
- 14:09you. You threw your players under the
- 14:11bus recently. You go and say Google me.
- 14:14What coach goes out there in professional sports and says go
- 14:19Google me? Nobody gives a crap what they
- 14:21say about you. I don't care how many wins you
- 14:23have. I care about championships.
- 14:25You want to say whatever you want about Bill Belichick?
- 14:27I couldn't stand the FOI. Couldn't stand them.
- 14:31But guess what? He won.
- 14:33He won. Peyton Manning says it best.
- 14:38Winning franchise franchises have winning standards.
- 14:43Doc Rivers doesn't have a winning standard.
- 14:47He cared about talent and players and coaches that were
- 14:52coaching under him that he can depend on all his coaches.
- 14:56Let's let's look at some of the coaches that were working under
- 14:59him. There's one right now with the
- 15:02Clippers that worked under him. You know what I'm talking about
- 15:04feeding Lou. That's right.
- 15:07If you look at Lou's record to Doc Rivers in the last five
- 15:12years of coaching, who do you think has a better record?
- 15:16Probably low. I guarantee you it's low.
- 15:19I you could book it, it's low. You know what that tells me
- 15:22about Doc Rivers? He knows how to build coaches on
- 15:26his bench, but doesn't know how to build players around him.
- 15:29He knows how to get the coaches to do what he wants them to do.
- 15:33What he believes is the right way of developing players and
- 15:38bringing these guys along, but they never develop.
- 15:41It never works and he has failed to take these teams to the
- 15:44promised land. He's done it one time.
- 15:47How long has he been a head coach in the NBA since?
- 15:501999. So how many years is that?
- 15:52That is 27 years. 27 years. That says that's how many
- 15:56championships the New York Yankees have won.
- 15:59Here's 11 title as a head coach. Think about it. 1 championship
- 16:05in 27 years. A failure.
- 16:07An absolute failure. No doubt, there's no reason that
- 16:10Clippers team, no matter how much talent was in the.
- 16:12West, how did you like that take?
- 16:14No matter how much talent in the Western Conference on that time.
- 16:17I can't wait they. Were so they were so loaded so
- 16:19deep on that team with even like you said, Crawford JJ Redick.
- 16:24You bashed as a coach as you want.
- 16:25He was a pretty good six man off the bench.
- 16:27You had Matt another tow job and that team should have at least
- 16:30made the the Western Conference finals.
- 16:32Nevertheless an NBA Finals at least once they blew A31 lead to
- 16:35a Houston Rockets team that wasn't that good and they've
- 16:38lost to like you said, Errol the Nuggets when they were early in
- 16:41their development. They weren't even great yet they
- 16:43lost to them in the playoffs. He also Utah and Donovan
- 16:45Mitchells rookie year, I believe in five games or so like that.
- 16:48Those are like inexcusable things.
- 16:50In addition to the blown 31 leads, the blown 32 leads.
- 16:52Then he goes to the box. The Bucks win a championship at
- 16:542021. They get rid of Boonholzer, who
- 16:57was a very stable coach over there with him, with them and
- 17:00with Atlanta. And yeah, wins the wins the
- 17:04championship. 2 years later. There's friction with him and
- 17:06Giannis, allegedly, but it I don't think it really surfaced
- 17:08to anything. They lost Miami in the first
- 17:10round. I bought it in that year.
- 17:11I thought they were them and the Suns were going to go back to
- 17:13the finals that year. I was wrong, but it still wasn't
- 17:16a fireable offense for Boonholzer.
- 17:17Then you go young. You go hire Adrian Griffin, a
- 17:20rising. Assistant, as long as she's
- 17:21using. Doobots taking care of my 2
- 17:23nurse and they were 30 and 10 fish.
- 17:26I believe this was your first week here with us.
- 17:29I think we talked about this storm.
- 17:30They were 30 and 10 on January 25th, 2024 and they get rid of
- 17:34him. They were the two seat only
- 17:35behind the Celtics in the East. Nearest glory hole.
- 17:38That tells you that the Bucks. Never bored in the.
- 17:40Dock rivers from the start. Do you remember what happened
- 17:43though, why they got rid of this guy in the 1st place?
- 17:46There was some like story where he was going after the old coach
- 17:49and he brought the old coach in to be an assistant and there was
- 17:51just all sorts of drama backstage.
- 17:53But they were the best team in like 1 of the two or three best
- 17:57teams in the East when it happened.
- 17:58Speedy, it made no sense. It made no sense.
- 18:02But Doc Errol, look, maybe he's not the best coach.
- 18:07And Q, he's definitely won before, so we got to give him
- 18:10that. 20 years ago, like one of these guys 20 years ago it.
- 18:15Was oh, wait. 20 years ago. Regardless, it was a good year.
- 18:19I was 21. I love those.
- 18:20That was a good year for me. But I'll, I'll tell you, it was
- 18:24a, it was definitely a. Rooster is a cock.
- 18:27A guy I watched that move, that show they did about the Clippers
- 18:32with Donald Sterling, where Laurence Fishburne played Doc.
- 18:35And that's the kind of gravity it wasn't a great show, but the
- 18:39whole point of Doc being this guy is they treat him like he's
- 18:42this, you know, representative of the NBA.
- 18:45He's he's maybe not the best NBA coach, but he represents the NBA
- 18:49better than most. And because of who he is as a
- 18:52person, what he stands for. And I I I think that everything
- 18:56well respected. Robbing organizations for their
- 18:58money, that's that's what he's respected.
- 19:00As robbing he's growing, you know, like he's more of like he
- 19:02wants to build men type of. Oh yeah, he's building men.
- 19:05That's why. That's why half the players on
- 19:08on his on these organizations can't stand them, go tough on
- 19:11them. You always stay, don't be
- 19:12accountable. I disagree.
- 19:14It's funny how you keep saying that but speak they speak
- 19:16positive. I think he holds them
- 19:19accountable. Qi think he tries to well.
- 19:21That's his thing. That's why you're a giant.
- 19:23You don't hold. Them accountable.
- 19:24A lot of this. Because I'm listening to this
- 19:26rubbish. Finally have one.
- 19:27Speedy, can you remind us how many NBA coaches that currently
- 19:31is overall and how many have actually won a game that won the
- 19:36NBA championship? How many?
- 19:37Sorry, how many have won? OK.
- 19:39There's Yeah. How many have actually?
- 19:40Won in the UK ship, so it's Spoelstra, it's Steve Kerr,
- 19:44it's. No, no, no, no.
- 19:46Just how many have won overall in the NBA?
- 19:48Overall in the in the entire, Yeah, it's probably like. 7 or 8
- 19:52right now because. There's a lot of answer.
- 19:53The answer is 10 active coaches. Actually no, that's wrong
- 19:57because one of these guys is inactive.
- 19:58It's nine. OK, actually 8 if you don't
- 20:01count Doc. No overall.
- 20:03So overall in the since the since the beginning of the NBA,
- 20:06how many? Oh, overall in the history, I I,
- 20:09I couldn't I. OK, we, I would for you to find
- 20:12that, but also it's a guys. Can you remind me what Errol
- 20:15said in regards to who runs the team, the star player, right,
- 20:21the talent correct. So how are we constantly blaming
- 20:25Doc Rivers for everything that happened in Milwaukee and the
- 20:28lady when all the talent it was there the the LA Clippers was
- 20:33loaded with talent. Giannis is a generational talent
- 20:36and there's some for some reason Doc gets blamed for that.
- 20:40All right, you keep saying that Kevin Garnett spoke out against
- 20:43them and Kevin Garnett wander thing.
- 20:45So here's the thing, you can say, hey, my coach is a good
- 20:48coach, but also the assistant that he hired to help us with
- 20:53this team also is a good coach. And he also pitched in and he
- 20:58also created schemes because guess what Thibodeau was there
- 21:01for to create schemes, to create a defense or whatever.
- 21:05One thing that you got to understand, the head coach takes
- 21:08on the responsibility. However, he hires the assistants
- 21:11to create these scenarios for them to be successful.
- 21:14So therefore coaching is also important.
- 21:18So no, no, not really. I can point, I can point out
- 21:23what's going on in the NBA right now.
- 21:25You keep saying that talent I can point out right now, but
- 21:29you're wrong. You said talent 100% wrong,
- 21:31right? But blame Doctor Porters for not
- 21:34winning in more than one championship and blowing up
- 21:37teams when he's had Lob City and the LA Clippers, who you guys
- 21:41just said was enough to win. Then he went to Milwaukee who
- 21:45just came off winning the championship what 2 years prior
- 21:48to his arrival, Still kind of had that championship core
- 21:52together and he didn't win with those as well.
- 21:55So my point is that is what now number six in the top ten and
- 22:00winning most winning coaches, OK, and he's going to the Hall
- 22:03of Fame. So therefore somewhere down the
- 22:06line you're going to respect this guy for being a hell of a
- 22:08coach. Now is he's the greatest coach
- 22:10ever? No, but you, you don't just get
- 22:13top 10 most winning coach by accident, OK?
- 22:17By not coaching at all and just sitting on the bench and letting
- 22:20all this talent get you all stacked these wins up against
- 22:23you all. Right.
- 22:24So yeah, I got the answer. Before you go Errol, it's 37.
- 22:27Different. Wow, so he's 1 of 37?
- 22:31And I, I can guarantee you the other five guys that are ahead
- 22:34of him with wins have multiple championships.
- 22:37Doesn't matter. Multiple.
- 22:38He's the only one in the six that I guarantee just doesn't
- 22:42have one championship. So that's how.
- 22:44Many coaches have been. Multiple champions.
- 22:46You don't. You don't realize how important
- 22:48that is. That 1 championship is a very
- 22:51rare thing in the NBA. Yeah, there's been 14 coaches
- 22:55that have won championships as both a player and a head coach.
- 22:58And then there's, you know, 10 active coaches that have a
- 23:01title. As far as multiple title
- 23:03coaches, Phil Jackson 11, Red Arbach 9.
- 23:06John Kundler, who I've never heard of, Speedy, I tell me that
- 23:09is 5. Popovich, 5.
- 23:11Riley, 5. Steve Kerr four, and then
- 23:14everyone else has two. Chuck Daly, Heinzen, Red
- 23:18Holtzman, Casey Jones, Rudy, Tom Jonovich you mentioned earlier,
- 23:21and Alex Hannam. Dog Rivers, Dog River.
- 23:25No, he's not. And I and for the fact that you
- 23:28believe that just shows you how much of A Celtic fan you are.
- 23:31That's that's what that's the way you're looking at it.
- 23:35You're looking at it because he's a Celtic fan.
- 23:38He was a Celtic coach. He's not a Celtic fan.
- 23:41That's the way you're looking at it.
- 23:43And you're wrong because here's the fact.
- 23:45I don't want to drag this along because I got other things to
- 23:48get into. I'm not going to drag this
- 23:50along, but I'm going to tell you this right now.
- 23:52If you know anything about coaching and you know anything
- 23:55about basketball coaching, I can name a guy right now that you
- 23:59can't even name his assistant coaches on his bench right now
- 24:02and is a championship coach. You know who that is?
- 24:05Rick Carlisle. Could you tell me any of the
- 24:08coaches right now on his bench? Can you?
- 24:12I'm not. I'm not a.
- 24:13Special because I'm good. I'm going to give you a tip
- 24:15because none of them have any meaning towards championship
- 24:19coaching. None of them not.
- 24:21Just sitting on the bitch. They just sit on the bench and.
- 24:24Listen to Rick. That's.
- 24:26Right boy, that's right boy, that's right.
- 24:29Rick Carlisle to me. If you would ask me right now,
- 24:32who would I take, Rick Carlisle or Doc Rivers?
- 24:35Who would you take, baby Rick Carlisle?
- 24:36OK, how about you fish instead of beating around the Bush and
- 24:39kissing, you know? Kissing his ass, he can have a
- 24:42take that. Kissing his ass because what's
- 24:44your your take on this? Your take on this with the Doc
- 24:47Rivers? The fact that you think that
- 24:49this guy deserves to be a Hall of Famer makes me wonder
- 24:52everything that you have said over.
- 24:54The last give you the stats. They're not stats, they're. 2
- 24:57They're stupid. Who would you take Fish Rick?
- 25:00Carlisle, Doc Rivers. I'm definitely taking Rick
- 25:04Carlisle. It's not much of A now.
- 25:06Now honestly, honestly, you're you're a basketball fan.
- 25:11Q Who would you really honestly take, Doc Rivers or Rick
- 25:16Carlisle? Don't say depends yes or no?
- 25:18Who'd you? Pick.
- 25:19Who would you pick because Doc Rivers is known for his defense
- 25:23right or his defense and so are so is Rick Carlisle.
- 25:27Who do you think is a better defensive minded coach, Rick
- 25:29Carlisle or Doc Rivers? Depends on.
- 25:32The team, I'm asking you pick one or the other.
- 25:35It depends on the team. I'm going to tell you this right
- 25:37now. Rick Carlisle wins multiple,
- 25:39wins multiple championships with that Celtic team.
- 25:42Multiple, multiple, multiple. You left.
- 25:45Have no clue. Really.
- 25:47I have no clue. I have no clue.
- 25:49He just took an Indiana Pacers team all the way to the Finals
- 25:52that shouldn't have. Been lost.
- 25:53Yeah, they lost and that's. Because Halburn went down.
- 25:56Halburn went down in game number 7 and I'm going to tell you
- 25:59right now, they win that game. They win.
- 26:01That doesn't matter. Remember, you got to start
- 26:04sticking to your. You want to start talking about
- 26:07championship now. You want to defend Rick Carlisle
- 26:09with making it to the finals. I am not winning it, so you guys
- 26:12stick to the. Championship.
- 26:13Matter or they don't. I'm telling you, I'm telling
- 26:16you, Rick Carlisle wins that championship.
- 26:18I've said this many, many times, if Halliburton doesn't go down
- 26:21in the first half. Cute this the OKC Thunder last
- 26:24year were the best aneclitically rated defensive team in NBA
- 26:27history, and that Indiana Pacers team of 4C took them to seven
- 26:30games. Yeah, I got it.
- 26:32I've got to finish up. The Islanders get eliminated.
- 26:34The New York Islanders were officially eliminated from the
- 26:36NHL playoffs after their four one loss against the Montreal
- 26:39Canadiens on Sunday. The Islanders struggled after
- 26:42the Olympic break, going 4 and 9 in that span.
- 26:45The Islanders held the second spot in the Metropolitan
- 26:49Division as as late as March 28th, but lost six of their last
- 26:55final seven games, all in regulations.
- 26:58The Islanders power play struggle badly, finishing 30th
- 27:01in the NHL this season, only ahead of the Flames in the
- 27:04Flyers since firing Patrick Watt and hiring Peter de Boer.
- 27:08The Islanders won their first game versus the Maple Leafs, but
- 27:11lost their last two games by a combined score of 8 to 1.
- 27:17The Senators and the Bruins clinched the last wild card
- 27:20spots. The Flyers clinched the third
- 27:22spot in the Metropolitan Division.
- 27:24It's to me, catastrophic. I, I, I don't know what more to
- 27:30say about the Islander season. You traded a first round draft
- 27:34pick for Shen. Now you do have him next year.
- 27:38What are you going to do with Anders Lee?
- 27:41Do you re sign him? Do you give him an extension?
- 27:43If you do, you got to sign him to no more than three and a half
- 27:45million. He's not worth any more than I
- 27:47don't care how many goals he scores, he's not worth more than
- 27:50three and a half million. You have a goaltender that had
- 27:54with practically dancing on his head all season long.
- 27:58He's been the best goalie in the league.
- 28:00He's going to win goaltender of the year.
- 28:03There's no doubt in my mind. You have the best young player
- 28:06in the NHL right now in Matthew Schaefer.
- 28:09You I mean they there are a lot of great young place, but as far
- 28:12as defensive players, he's going to win Rookie of the year.
- 28:15He tied Bryan Leach goal record. I don't know if he broke it.
- 28:19Did he break it? No, I don't.
- 28:21I didn't watch the last two games.
- 28:23Is there one more game left? Is there any more games left?
- 28:25No, and I think they got one more regular season, but.
- 28:28So maybe he breaks it. He needs one more goal so Shave
- 28:31Shaffer could still break the goal record for defenseman.
- 28:37The fact here is I don't know what was the right answer to
- 28:42fire Patrick Wah. Obviously Patrick Wah and Darsh
- 28:46didn't like one another. I think Darsh was handed Patrick
- 28:49Wah because the organization did not want to fire him.
- 28:55They wanted to go into the season with a guy that was there
- 28:58in the players trust. And I don't know what happened
- 29:01at the end of the season, but there were there was some
- 29:03stories that a lot of players did not like Patrick Wah there.
- 29:06There was some arguments in the locker room after the Olympic
- 29:10break. I don't know what is true and
- 29:12what is not, but what I've read is Patrick Wah needed to go and
- 29:17Peter de Boer was the guy that Dosch wanted to wanted to hire
- 29:20and he wanted to make sure that he does not go into the
- 29:24offseason making his choice on where he wants to coach.
- 29:28There's going to be a full season next year.
- 29:29We'll see what the Islanders do with their pick.
- 29:32It will be a team's pick. They're not going to be in the
- 29:35lottery like the Rangers are, like some of these teams are
- 29:38going to be in the in this year's draft.
- 29:41And I don't know how good this year's draft is.
- 29:44The Islanders have a great future.
- 29:46We have to see what some of these young guys and they're
- 29:49going to be called up early next year.
- 29:51I I believe that Eiserman, Eiserman will be up there.
- 29:57Akison is going to be there. They're going to have young guys
- 30:02coming up next year and they're going to try to build around
- 30:04these youth, their youth and their talent.
- 30:07Matthew Schaefer has been a great leader for this young
- 30:09team. They've got every, well, this
- 30:11team, a lot of the older players have looked up to him.
- 30:14He's really transitioned not only as the face of this
- 30:18organization, a leader of this organization already at the age
- 30:21of 18. What he has done at such a young
- 30:23age is incredible. To go and play 25 to 27 minutes
- 30:28in his rookie season has been just remarkable.
- 30:32And he does it with such class. The back end, the story behind
- 30:35him, his mother, his stepmother passed away.
- 30:38I mean, everything about what this kid has done has been
- 30:41incredible. It's sad that his first season
- 30:45this team was playing such a such a high level before the
- 30:49Olympic break fall flat on their face in this in the last 20
- 30:54games. Their power play struggle.
- 30:56They they always struggle. They don't have a number one guy
- 31:00in that offense. I love Beau Horvent, but he's
- 31:03not a number one guy. He's a great face off guy.
- 31:06He's going to give you 30 goals, but he's not a guy that's going
- 31:08to give you 4550 goals. The Islanders have been lacking
- 31:12that. Now I don't know what these
- 31:13young players are going to be when they get called up.
- 31:15Maybe one of them turned into one of those guys, Heisman.
- 31:18They have guys, they have good hands.
- 31:21It it's just as a fan, they were better, way better than the
- 31:25Rangers and the Rangers to me, with as bad as the season they
- 31:31had and falling apart and what Chris Jerry did to this
- 31:33organization, putting out a letter the way he did.
- 31:36They both didn't make the playoffs.
- 31:38So even though the Rangers struggled more than the
- 31:40Islanders, they both didn't make the playoffs.
- 31:42And as good as the Islanders played at such a high level at
- 31:45some parts of the season, they failed to do the one thing a lot
- 31:49of people thought they should have, and that was make the
- 31:51playoffs. And and to me, Patrick Wah,
- 31:55Peter de Boer, it doesn't matter.
- 31:57I think that Darsh is a good smart GMI want to see what he's
- 32:01going to do again in his second year with the draft.
- 32:04It made no sense why you brought in Shen.
- 32:07You brought Shen in to sneak into the playoffs and make a
- 32:09run. Now you have an older player
- 32:11who's in his 30s, mid 30s, late 30s who they have one more year.
- 32:15He opted he opted to take his no trade clause and and be traded
- 32:21to the Islanders. And why?
- 32:24Why did the Islanders want to give up a first round talent?
- 32:27I know it was a late first round talent.
- 32:29It might be Colorado's final pick of the first round where
- 32:32they could have used that to move up and get the guy that
- 32:35they wanted. None of it makes sense.
- 32:37We'll see how it works. The one thing that I think
- 32:40they're in the driver's seat is they have Akison and they have
- 32:43Matthew Schaefer. They have the future of their
- 32:45defense sitting right there. It's fun to watch.
- 32:48My thought here is, is they need to do something this offseason
- 32:54that is going to give them that that shockwave.
- 32:56And after giving JP Paggio an extension, maybe giving Anders
- 33:02lead, Leah an extension, they're throwing money at players that
- 33:07at the tail end of their career. None of it makes sense.
- 33:11And I you don't want a new young GM to make himself look bad when
- 33:17it comes to ownership when they have looked, he's looked so good
- 33:22in the first half of the NHL season with his draft and, and
- 33:27some of the moves that he has made and getting Sarokin to play
- 33:30at a high level again. I mean, Sharokin was not playing
- 33:33at this level after his back surgery.
- 33:34He finally broke through again. And it's become and, and you
- 33:37want to know something, if you would ask me right now, who's
- 33:40been more consistent to Sturkin or Sarokin since they've come
- 33:44into the league? This is the second year Sarokin
- 33:46is going to be up for a goalie of the year.
- 33:49Starkid's only been up for a goalie of the year one time.
- 33:51He won it and he had one of those great years.
- 33:52He got 11 and a half million dollars.
- 33:54He's one of the highest paid goalies at least.
- 33:55So Rogan is making 9 1/2 and he's just as good or even
- 33:59better. So.
- 34:00And now is Lou Lamorello sleeping.
- 34:02Lou, for everybody to understand what I'm saying, the Islanders,
- 34:05this is a this is bad. We have to see what this team,
- 34:09the turn around this season, this season brought brings to
- 34:12them in the offseason and how their draft and some of the free
- 34:16agents and free agency moves they make can transition and
- 34:20make this team back to that elite status which they haven't
- 34:25been in. I don't know, since they went to
- 34:28back-to-back Eastern Conference championships and that's not
- 34:31even saying much. Yeah, and that was a lot of the
- 34:33combination of moving parts that were a veteran team all at once.
- 34:36And the Islanders tried to be young.
- 34:37And you saw that with Matthew Darson, the beginning of his
- 34:39tenure. Obviously he wasn't the main GM
- 34:41with Tampa until later, but he had those young team.
- 34:45They got it going. They're good player development.
- 34:47They're good with young forwards and you're they're good with
- 34:49guys that fit into that kind of system.
- 34:51And you saw the Islanders do that for a while for much of the
- 34:53season. That's why the the young players
- 34:54get to get going as quickly as they did was a big reason why.
- 34:57And that was a mixed losing Paul Mary to injury, losing Romanoff
- 35:00to injury for pretty much the entire season.
- 35:02And it looked like there was a sense of adversity there.
- 35:04And then I think he got too cute.
- 35:06He got too mixed into different identities.
- 35:08You don't know what you're going to get.
- 35:09I agree with you. Extending Pazzo was a mistake.
- 35:11He was a hot commodity even for buying teams at the deadline to
- 35:15get good value from like you can shed 5 and a half million
- 35:18dollars. I would bring Lee back, but
- 35:20you're right, only at 3, three and a half million a year.
- 35:23I think he's a good leader. I think he's a good assistant
- 35:25captain with the team. Why did you bring Shem?
- 35:27Why do you have Bo Horvat 2 leaders that deserve that
- 35:30captain? Job, right?
- 35:31I was just going to get to that because that's another move that
- 35:33felt like they were in between. We were saying each the last two
- 35:35years the Islanders should have been in the market for a a wing
- 35:38because you're right, they don't really have a true sniper that
- 35:40same way they have Barzal is a good creator of the puck.
- 35:43I don't think he's really a sniper.
- 35:44Horvat's a very good two way center who could score goals.
- 35:47I don't think he's like a slap shot sniper.
- 35:49Power play phenomenon. Hence why, you see, even when
- 35:52Barry Trotz was coaching the Islanders, they never had a
- 35:54power play that was more than, I think, 14th in the NHL.
- 35:57At any but they had the best defense in the league, top five
- 35:59defense in the league every single year that he was there.
- 36:02What about the defense? How did they fall apart in the
- 36:05second-half? This defense went from, I would
- 36:08say a top 12, top 13 defense to in the last couple of weeks, one
- 36:13of the worst defenses in the NH one.
- 36:14Of the worst in terms of shots, I think high danger shots given
- 36:17him I think the 27th or something like that.
- 36:19And a lot of a lot of riders are making that the scapegoat for
- 36:22why Patrick Wah got fired out. Saroki was getting shelled.
- 36:25This defense was falling apart. And yes, there's probably is
- 36:27part of that to do. But again, you don't fire a guy
- 36:30with four games left in the season expected to happen
- 36:33overnight. If you were this bullish, Darsh,
- 36:35if you were this bullish on de Boer as much as you were, why
- 36:38don't you just hire him in the offseason like he was available?
- 36:41Dallas fired him shortly after they lost in the Eastern in the
- 36:44Western Conference finals against Edmonton.
- 36:46You had all the time in the world to get rid of him then and
- 36:48you didn't do it. And now you're going to do it
- 36:50and make it very awkward as it was.
- 36:52Maybe they don't make it if they keep one, then you fire him then
- 36:55and then you go after de Boer or you go after Bruce Caster.
- 36:58You're a good coach. There's plenty of options here.
- 37:00I think they overthought things a little bit, got too cute, and
- 37:03they're being used for it. Philly gets hot, Otto gets hot,
- 37:06and they're looking at me. Looking in, could I rattle her
- 37:08tits? No, you cannot rattle her tits.
- 37:13I honestly, if you're an Ireland, a fan, you can't be
- 37:15happy. You shouldn't be happy.
- 37:19This ending is an ending that wouldn't make you proud as a
- 37:23fan. Now, I don't know what Matthew
- 37:25Dosh does in the offseason. He might do a lot, he might make
- 37:28a move that is going to make you happy, but this free agency
- 37:32class is not good. This is probably in the next
- 37:35three years, the worst out of the next three years.
- 37:37When you look at the talent that's out there.
- 37:39I I don't know what more he can do.
- 37:41Maybe that's why he made the moves and that's why he signed
- 37:44the players that he did and it makes them much better.
- 37:46I think you should have let those guys go or trade them or
- 37:49decide the best path for this young team.
- 37:52Bring the youth up, get rid of Casey Sisikis, get rid of JP
- 37:55Pashaw, get rid of these guys because to me, this team is
- 38:00still missing pieces and I'm talking about scoring pieces.
- 38:04That's going to take him to the next level.
- 38:06Hey Errol, we've been talking about coaching all night, so we
- 38:09might as well bring it up one last time.
- 38:11You played hockey at a high level and when you were younger.
- 38:15How much impact can De Boer have compared to WAH next season?
- 38:20Or is it again more about the players?
- 38:23In the NHL, it it's different. Remember with hockey, we've
- 38:29seen, we've seen teams like the the New Jersey Devils win
- 38:32championships playing the trap, playing a trap.
- 38:36So you, I just think when you look at hockey and trying to
- 38:41compare hockey to basketball and football, hockey and football
- 38:45are the two sports you desperately need good coaching
- 38:50to win. If you don't have that, you're
- 38:53not winning, no matter how talented your team is.
- 38:55I have seen teams over the years in the NHL, they would had all
- 39:00the talent in the world, but they just didn't have that
- 39:02coach, the guy that was going to get him of the hump.
- 39:05It's different. You would ask me right now, if
- 39:08you don't have any elite coach, you're not winning a
- 39:09championship. And by the by the way, Peter de
- 39:11Boer, he's gone to the finals multiple times, could never get
- 39:15over the hump. So do you think that I think
- 39:17that De Boer is the guy? I don't know.
- 39:20It depends on how this team is built around him.
- 39:23It didn't work in Dallas. It didn't work in places where
- 39:27Las Vegas. I mean, he's coached some big,
- 39:30talented teams and he couldn't get over in the humps, Yeah.
- 39:32He was probably the worst coach Vegas had of like 5 of their
- 39:35history so far. Yeah, so a jersey too for a
- 39:37little bit, no. Yeah, he went to the cup with
- 39:392012. They beat the Rangers in the
- 39:40Eastern Conference finals of 6. He knows how to get there.
- 39:42He doesn't know how to win. But you know what, like that's
- 39:45an improvement over Wah if they if Wah was fighting with players
- 39:48using having an ego issues because he was probably the
- 39:51greatest goaltender or one of the three greatest goaltender
- 39:54for sure of all time. Easy, right?
- 39:56It's hard. I mean, they always said that
- 39:58about Gretzky. Gretzky was the exception.
- 39:59He was actually a decent coach for a short period of time.
- 40:02But usually those great players, they don't know what it's like
- 40:04to not be great. So it's hard for them to coach
- 40:06guys that weren't as great as them.
- 40:08I I don't really know. In football, you see, the
- 40:10coaches could be a guy like we said, you know, you know, only
- 40:14play D3 football, you know, they don't have to have been in the
- 40:17league to understand the game. But I you know.
- 40:20At the same time, you want to have guys that were in the
- 40:22league on that staff at the very least, like John Arborn going to
- 40:25have former NFL players on his staff because he needs that clap
- 40:28and he needs that respect. I think even if you though he's
- 40:31done it for 30 years, I just think it's just a thing I don't
- 40:34know about. You're going to put your tongue
- 40:35on something. Carol, has there ever been a
- 40:37hockey coach that wasn't an elite or a good player at some
- 40:40point in the NHL? That coach.
- 40:42I'll tell you this, Yeah, Cooper.
- 40:44But here's a lacrosse player. There are players that have.
- 40:47There are coaches over the years that were never playing, never
- 40:52played. Doug McLean was a good coach and
- 40:54I don't think if he did play in the NHL, he was.
- 40:56Very. Little Doug McLean was a great,
- 40:59great coach. So I just if you look back,
- 41:03yeah, they played in the NHL, but were they any good?
- 41:06And as a matter of fact, Craig Barubi won a championship when
- 41:10he did and and like when Saint Louis won a championship and
- 41:14Craig Barubi, Brew Rubi was a tough man.
- 41:17He was in a great world renowned scorer gold, you know, great
- 41:21hockey player. So I mean, there's there's
- 41:23others, but I I just popping into my head.
- 41:26But we got to get to the last thing, man.
- 41:28So we call this. What's that smell?
- 41:31Hold up, What is that smell? What's that smell?
- 41:39Wow, you don't see that every day.
- 41:42All right, ladies and gentlemen, the queue is back.
- 41:46Popped in with the Yankee hat. I think I like my Yankee hat a
- 41:49little bit better. Just saying.
- 41:51Anyways, challenge is brought. Anyway, so this is what we're
- 41:57going to do. We're going to tell you a story,
- 41:59and we're going to tell you what it smells like.
- 42:00So tonight we're going to go with Fish.
- 42:04Q Speedy me, here we go. All right, guys, I'm going to
- 42:09start it off. I've got a really fascinating
- 42:11story from one of the better injured off injured pitchers in
- 42:16baseball, Blake Snell. He's on the Dodgers, hasn't
- 42:19pitched all year, pitched deep into the playoffs, but he was
- 42:22hurt most of the year, on and off at an up and down year.
- 42:25Well, he's playing MLB The Show online against, you know, doing
- 42:32a live stream so other people can watch him play video games
- 42:37pretending he can actually still throw the ball while he's hurt.
- 42:41Well, one commentator said something about him getting off
- 42:44the injured list, and his response went viral on social
- 42:49media. This is Snell's response.
- 42:52Hey, shoulder, don't have inflammation, Don't pitch in the
- 42:57postseason when it doesn't feel good.
- 43:00Don't try to win a World Series. Oh, you can't start the season
- 43:03because your shoulder hurts from pitching?
- 43:05We'll figure it out. Like, what the F do you want me
- 43:07to do? And then he continued.
- 43:11People asked him for an apology. This is what he said.
- 43:15I should watch my language a little bit, but outside of that,
- 43:18it was pretty true. He told that to The Athletic.
- 43:20I'm just very excited about how I feel right now, where I'm at,
- 43:22getting back to some normalcy again.
- 43:24What? Do you think?
- 43:27I just can't wait to pitch. I have to agree with Snell.
- 43:32I just have to agree with him. He went out there, said a few
- 43:36things, treated some people kind of.
- 43:41He's a crybaby whore bag. Treated him like crybaby.
- 43:46H bags yeah or WH bags. I agree Errol, just a terrible
- 43:51type of way to handle yourself. But to be honest, why are you on
- 43:55a live stream playing video games where people can Heckle
- 43:57you? What are you doing if you're not
- 43:59trying to get the attention in the 1st place?
- 44:01What is this smell like? Well I looked up Blake smells
- 44:04from Seattle, WA. We all know that they love their
- 44:09salmon over there. So this is some rotting salmon
- 44:12carcass that this one smells like.
- 44:15Beluga whales mating. All right.
- 44:18Q. What do you got for us?
- 44:21All right, that's something. Mario.
- 44:24Seat the night, you know, now that's Michigan coach no more.
- 44:30Just got probation and no jail time and it's misdemeanicated,
- 44:34the judge, Judge Cedric Simpson, said during the sentence.
- 44:38I don't believe when I look at the entirety of this situation
- 44:42that incarceration should be appropriate.
- 44:46Now, I'm not a fan of any of the behaviors that Coach Moore
- 44:50displayed. And it's Michigan Star, and I'm
- 44:53not so certain that he shouldn't have got some jail time just to
- 44:57kind of keep justice balanced a little bit.
- 45:02But he gets 18 months of probation and $1000 fine.
- 45:08Smells like you guys. Tell me what it smells like.
- 45:12I can't think of a word, Sophie. Bag of Donuts over there.
- 45:17That works. All right, Speedy.
- 45:21All right, so you get your Java drops ready because this one is
- 45:24all devoted to Mr. Java Chamberlain.
- 45:26It's about my pick. It's about Nebraska forward.
- 45:28This is another good future, sounded out Burke Buch Tunsil,
- 45:33who is a Turkish. That one over like a forward.
- 45:36He gets a tattoo of Nebraska's 28 and seven seasons celebrating
- 45:41how they go to the side. 16, Nebraska's best season in their
- 45:46team history. As Jabba mentioned, they were
- 45:49the only Power Five team that never won an NCAA tournament
- 45:52game before this, and he gets a tattoo to commemorate that.
- 45:55And what does he do a day later? Goes into the transfer portal
- 45:59and he is getting roasted all over the place as many I
- 46:01wouldn't piss on him if he was on as many players do when they
- 46:03enter the transfer portal. So what does that smell like?
- 46:06It's pulled it out of my ass. It smells like Jabba sucking 20
- 46:09he ate eggs for. He tastes himself for every game
- 46:12that they won and mixing it with that of those chili cinnamon
- 46:17rolls that each in my break claims is a delicacy.
- 46:20And then he farts in church a bunch of times.
- 46:23Sometimes I sit on it. Sweet ate eggs.
- 46:25I love that part. One of my other ones, like last
- 46:29month too, was a Mets prospect that apparently ate like 2020
- 46:33like hard boiled eggs a day. So I kind of want it based on
- 46:36that so. All right, right, our fin, our
- 46:40final. What's that smell?
- 46:41Rap mega star J. Cole said Tuesday that his time
- 46:46playing professional basketball in China has come to an end.
- 46:50After one game, the work visa process took way longer than I
- 46:55expected, so I was able to play in one before heading back, Cole
- 47:01said in a statement. Early in April, the two time
- 47:05Grammy Mega Star Platinum Star signs a deal with the Najing
- 47:12Monkey Kings in China Basketball Association and was scheduled to
- 47:17play in at least three games for the club.
- 47:21But guess what, ladies and gentlemen, he couldn't because
- 47:25he couldn't get a visa. He couldn't get a visa in time.
- 47:28So he only played in one game. So let me ask you a question,
- 47:33Jay and I love you and I know you're a good basketball player.
- 47:36You have a a tremendous game basketball game.
- 47:38You play good. You play very well in high
- 47:41school could have been a college superstar.
- 47:43Some people think you might have made it the NBA, but Mitre and
- 47:49making it are two different things.
- 47:52And my opinion here is keep rapping.
- 47:55I mean, that's what you're good at.
- 47:56Your sensational, your album came out.
- 47:58Love it. I love everything about you.
- 48:00You're real. You tell stories.
- 48:02You're the closest thing to Nas. That's what I want to hear.
- 48:06You bring out the greatness in what hip hop is and all this
- 48:11garbage that comes out, you want to push them away.
- 48:13So J. Cole, you know what it smells
- 48:16like? It smells like roses on one side
- 48:20and doggy Doo Doo on the other. And as Jabba always says.
- 48:26I had to take a shit. I don't want to take any more
- 48:29dumps. I just want to see you in
- 48:31Grammys and not have to worry about getting on a basketball
- 48:35court and pulling a hamstring or slipping on something.
- 48:40Shoot the three. And shooting the three.
