• 0:18
  Speaker 2: So brought you out barfing today?
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Get some teamat coming in to help us out A
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: little bit here, a little bit Coach always brought to
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: you every single Wednesday morning by mister Ruter Plumbing, proudly
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: rooting for Colorado's hockey team. Good morning, coach, how are you?
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: I'm good? How are you guys were doing?
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: I want to start here at coach. When you have
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: an illness like this and it's it's completely chopped up
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: our entire lineup here on Altitude Sports Radio ninety two
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: to five. Everybody's sick. What do you do as a
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: team when an illness hits the locker room? How do
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: you fight it?
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Lowly, Yeah. I think our medical staff does a
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: good job of recognizing and talking with the guys right away.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: And they get sick, and we try to keep them
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: out of the locker room as much as possible. You know,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: someone's under the weather, we leave them at home, or
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: they come in before the guys come to get any
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: sort of treatment. Their medical supplies they need, and then
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: we send them out of there and then they all
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: go to like their own individual water bottles and all
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: that kind of stuff as well too, just to make
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: sure that it doesn't go through the team. And that's
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: really hard to do. Like usually when one guy gets sick,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: you're usually getting at least a handful of guys that
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: get it. But it's it's it can be a pain
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: for sure.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Oh so you don't have every single player speaking into
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: the same exact microphone with all those microbes on that microphone.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: I got you.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: I know that's probably not the best.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm at home, of Vix at home, and
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: we're going to be just fine. Brett Dee's puke and
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: wherever he is, who knows. Coach joins us of course,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: as always on the rumost Law Hotline car accident, you
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: need romos Law medical doctor at Attorney romos Law dot com. Hey, coach,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: let's go back to to the game a couple nights back.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I found it to be a very entertaining hockey game
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: with some star power all over the place, and stars
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: came to shine that night and you guys falling overtime
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: in a game you easily could have won in overtime.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I don't want to get nitpicky about it at all.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: As a coach, I suppose you have to be nitpicky.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: You know, I got the bigger picture in mind, So
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: if you would please nitpick just a tiny.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Bit about that game.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, love the start, felt like we had some super
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: dangerous scoring opportunities early on. Had no problem really with
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: the first period, but by the end of the first
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: period you could kind of see a trend where like
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: we just weren't like checking the puck back hard enough
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: or with enough ferocity, but we were humming on the
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: offensive side of it. Like I felt like we could
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: have been up two or three goals early in that
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: hockey game, but Wall was really good. And then the
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: second period they dug in a little bit more. And
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: what we're kind of being at the end of the
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: first with the lack of intensity to our checking game
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: and especially like kind of in the defensive zone. You know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: not a lot was going on off the rush, but
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: in the defensive zone we weren't getting the puck back,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: so we spent too much time in our zone. And
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: then our sort of offensive transition game and being able
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: to get in the offensive zone with the puck and
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: hang onto the puck and create the chances and looks
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: we got in the first just disappeared. So they won
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: that period, and then we came out and had a
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: great third, Like we adjusted again after the second, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: then I thought we dug into third nicely, held them
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: to three shots. They got the one scoring chance and
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: the four on four which is Matthew's making a great play,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: and found ourselves behind and give our team credit, we
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: found a way to you know, respond and answer back
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: almost immediately after the Matthews goal to piet And then
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: like you said, overtime, we get a chance or too,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: they get a chance or too, and they put theirs
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: in the net and we got a little unlucky on
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: ours and you come out just getting one point. So
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: you know, I think looking at the game, you have
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: to expect like you got a team coming in, you know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: points in nine straight, seven oh and two, that you
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: got to play a full sixty minutes if you're going
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: to win for sure, and teams are getting up for us.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: That was a really solid hockey game, I felt like
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: from Toronto, and we just weren't on top of our game,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: so we ended up sort of giving up a point,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: which is disappointing, but at the same time, you know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I think it's going to happen every once in a while,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: and we just address it with our team and move
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: on and hopefully we're there for a full sixty for
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Nashville Friday.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Coach, Ya, do you ever look at film or see
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: something during the course of a game and.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Go, no, ways, no way, that just happened here we
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: do that.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there was a significant amount of that the other.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, specifically for me, I came out of these
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: airwaves and I'm yelling at Breton Vic and I'm like,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: there's no way that McKinnon's one timer hits the shaft
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: of the goal stick, goes up underneath the crossbar, bangs
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: into the ice and and and then you know, trickle
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: sideways through natures who I think thought that it went in.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: There's no way that happens. That guy's not trying to
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: make a stick save. That guy's just that's that's such
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: pure luck. And then I have it hit underneath the
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: crossbar at that angle and come out, I'm like, coach,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: there's no way.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I see those plays and you make a couple
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: of big plays earlier, even the Marty neck gash to
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: save well made and Marty neckash and the two on one.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: I think that passes from McKinnon as well, and goalies
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: are gonna make them saves. There's also a little bit
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: of no way that just happened from my standpoint, you know,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: like because I have to be critical of our team,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: and even though like I'm not worried about it, I'm
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: not freaking out about it or any of that, but
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: there was a little bit of like, no way that
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: just happened on their first goal. Like I felt like
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: we had two or three chances to close that play
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: out in D zone and we don't. We're a little light,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: there's not enough intensity and he turns and throws it
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: from the corner off Burns is skating in. You know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: you line up on a nozone face off and win
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: the draw and next thing you know, guys going on
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: a breakaway split your d I'm like, no way that
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: just happened. I haven't seen that forever. But that's just
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: part of that is just us not being as sharp
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: as we normally are. Like there's no you know, guys
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: lined up on the hash marks, you're on the blue
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: line and he splits a D for a breakaway on
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: the loose pocket. It can't happen and rarely does happen.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: So we addressed it, like why you know some of
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: the chances they got were happening, you know what we
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: need to do. And he every time we've addressed something
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: with our team this year, whether it's like, hey, we're
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: doing this really well and it's helping us win hockey games,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: and we pointed out to our team, they continue to
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: do it and get better at it. When we show
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: things that you know, we don't like and things we
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: got to take care of like that that they've fixed
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: it immediately and implemented into their games. So they've been
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: really coachable, responsive, you know, and it's that that's what
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: we're doing as coaches, just like showing and make sure
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: everyone's on the same page what we've got to do.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: And the one thing we got to do is we've
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: got to continue to check and defend with an intensity,
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: with detail and with a veracity that gets us a
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: puck that quickly so we can go attack, you know.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: And that's what we've done so well all year. And
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I expect our team will fix it going in to
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: play Nashville Friday, who's playing really well again one again
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: last night. So it's gonna be gonna be another hard
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: falk game.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: Coach, with the schedule as packed as it is due
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: to the Olympic year, very rarely do you get three
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: days off between games. What do you do at this time?
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Do you do you hold me in on a particular
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: part of your game, do you take time off? What
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: do you guys done this week?
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah? We well we did that coming out of the
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Toronto game, making sure that that's you know, that defending
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: side of it's not our lock thereof is not creeping
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: into our game. That that was, you know, just a
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: small window of twenty minutes, you know, and that you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: we and we fixed it in the third period, like
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: for example, like they spent over three minutes in Arizona
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: in the second period and we had them down to
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: less than a minute and thirty in the third, which is,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: you know, better than our season average, you know. So
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: I like the way we responded, and maybe we fixed
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: it already in that game, but I want to do
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: address it again and talk and analytics with their team,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: and and so we were in there yesterday, and today's
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: the day off, and tomorrow will come back and have
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: a good practice before we get ready to go on Friday.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Regarding your analytics, so you have a department handling that.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Do you speak every day to your analytics team? How
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: does that communication work and how much do you glean
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: from analytics?
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: I use it a lot, yeah, And then I decide
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: what I want to share with our team, you know,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: so we get I get a ten game segment that
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I go through in depth, and I get daily stuff
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: like on our opposition, for like preparing for Nashville. I'll
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: get a package and go through it all and talk
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: through it all and then see what I see in
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: the video and match it up. So our team kind
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: of knows exactly what they're facing from a bunch of
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: different areas and what we need to be real sharp on.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: And so I use it in the preparation for the
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: pre scout, and then I study ours pretty much constantly.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Every game has a postgame report that I go through
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: and see if it matches the eye test and the video,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: and you know, if there's you know, outliers either way,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: then I want to make sure I'm digging into him.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: And making sure that like our team, like what our
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: identity is and things that we've established as our identity
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: that we know we have to do well, that that
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: those numbers are are looking good. We'll we're a little
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: bit worse than our season average, we're a little bit
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: better than our season average, and just keep hammering home
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: the points that make us successful too. So I use
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: it quite a bit and share a significant amount with
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: our team as well.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: With all due respect, could you ever have been an
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: analytics geek? Could you ever have done that job?
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: Do you think?
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: Nah?
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: No?
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: But I but as a coach now, I think it's
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: a very helpful tool in a lot of ways.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it definitely is. Uh, well, go ahead, bick.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: He uses it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: So, I mean you don't use it, you know, bump right,
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: I mean you got to use this one.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: You don't rely on it, holy, but you got to
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: use it.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: No, it's one thing to use it, but it's another
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: thing to come up with it and design it and
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: to dig into it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: You know that that kind of Yeah, it takes a
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: special person to be.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: What about the analytics of fighting? When you're when you're
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: when you're ready to score up with a guy are
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: there any analytics in that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: No, the you better do your homework and you don't
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: get the prize. I know that.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, some guys get surprised with josh Man. So that's
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: for another time. Hey, I'm not going to ask you
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: about specific guys, but is there anyone who's out right
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: now that's ahead of the curve or is everybody where
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: they should be?
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Well? Black would and like so backwould you know, got
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: that injury before the road trip or just getting ready
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: for the road trip, And then along the way Wedgie
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: was dealing with something too, So give props. The trip
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Minor comes in three out of four points and on
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: the weekend, playing back to back games, gets his first win,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: shet first shut out. He did a great job for
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: us this weekend, you know. But Blackwood and Wedgewood will
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: both be good to go, you know, for practice tomorrow,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: so that's good news. And then the other guys are
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: still kind of sitting on the week to week thing.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Just it's hard to tell how fast they'll progress with
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: some of these soft tissue injuries. Right Like, you come in,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: you feel good, you try something. If next day you
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: feel good, you do a little bit more. And that's
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: just kind of the routine they're in right now, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: none of them are on the ice yet, so there's
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: still a little ways away.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: Ten games before the slip break. Do you sort of
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: ride this wave into the break? It's okay, let's get
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: there and then get the cavalry back after that.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and hopefully we're getting some guys before then.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I think that's a that's a real possibility kind of
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: taking care of the rest of this homestand to be
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: the short term goal, and we'll break down that one
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: road trip. I think it's four games, and then we
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: come home for two more, right, so it's it's, uh,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: we'll break it up a little bit less than that
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: and then sort of study of, you know, from here
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: to the break as a whole. But yeah, like where
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: we got some guys playing real well right now and
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: where we feel like we can be a little bit
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: better than we've been here recently, but playing that home help.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: So we'd like to get these results and then we'll
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: kind of separate that road trip out of it and
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: then next thing, you know, you just got a couple
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: of games and it's break.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Hold on, I want to go back to something because
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: I was joking around. I mentioned analytics and fighting and stuff,
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: but when you were squaring up with dudes, and when
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: you watch some of the heavyweights in this league, how
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: much homework is done before you decide to pull the
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: gloves and go at it? I mean, what do you
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: look at you? How do you analyze it?
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Well, early on, you had nothing, so you're just kind
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: of going on word of mouth, and like you really
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: had nothing. You're looking at penalty minutes, their stash sheet
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: and you knowing this guy's willing or this guy isn't
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: and you know so. But eventually you started getting like
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: these websites like hockey fights and all that, and now
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: it's just out there, like you can see everyone's all
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: the fights they've been in as a pro. You know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: so if that's what, if that's part of your game
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: and what you do. You can look at tape and
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: study guys and see how what their style is, and
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: you know what they throw right, left, both hands, like
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: you know just how in depth you want to go.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: You can study it. But at least then you're not
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: getting surprised. Nothing worse than getting surprised a couple of times,
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: and he usually means you're getting your nose fixed or something.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: At the end, I'll tell you what man or he's
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: locked onto a couple of guys this year and he's won.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: But I'm just saying that there's a couple of men
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: where that guy would that guy would have had a
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: new nose, and he just he just missed Hey, Coacha
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: before before I let you go, present company excluded. Okay,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: so not Vic, not me, not Brett. But has there
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: ever been a reporter in your times, you know, from
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: the e all the way up to the National Hockey
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: League where you just don't like that person, Like that
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: person just didn't annoys you and ask questions that annoy you,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: even if they're legit questions you you don't like that person.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Not really. Like I've been pretty blessed, and I think
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: there's reporters that have covered our teams or the teams
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: that I've been on in the past that just didn't
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: like me for whatever reason. But I don't see enough
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: I can see that, yeah, I can see they.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Have a you know, and why they have that opinion.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Whatever it could be, the performance of our team could
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: be something else, whatever it is. But like, I feel
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: like the people that cover us especially specific at Denver.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: They're they're always like, I just want him to be
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: informed and treat our team fairly, you know, that's it,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: and players fairly. You know, I think you got to be.
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: Careful of criticizing players, coaches managers like, you know, guy
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: has a bad week, and then like, I think that's
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: often blown out of proportion in some markets in the league,
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: And I think our people covering us are really fair
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: that way. Like guy doesn't score for a couple of games,
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: a big deal. It's long season, you know.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Then they get next to you know, next week they
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: get hot score and just kind of proves the point.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Or a guy gets hot, it doesn't mean he's going
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: to do that all year long. You know, there's a
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: lot of ebbs and flows to an eighty two game season, right,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: But they've always treated us fairly and treated us with respect,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: and I try to do the same thing.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Well, Coach Moser, sounds like crap, and it sounds like
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: you got something going on, so good, best of luck,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: you get healthy and and just don't don't hang around
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: mot because it's gonna get worse.

• 17:49
  Speaker 5: You're not doing okay. In fact, you're doing so poorly
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: that we had to call on someone outside the show
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: to help us. In the next segment, that's help.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: You're doing Aaron, get ready, it's mos Lambardi and gain.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: All right, boys, Whether whether you want him or not,

• 18:15
  Speaker 5: You sound great, dude.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Dude, And it hit me I had the world's worst
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: ski vacation and VIC You're probably gonna say, well, that's
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: what you get. You deserve it, because why are you
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: messing around with cold weather when it's in single digits
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: and snow. And uh, it nailed me, guys. It nailed
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: me on Thursday and Friday days. I took off and
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: then I'm up Saturday. I got three runs in and
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I wanted to die, and I was going down like
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: the bunny hill and I was shivering, and and then
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I get into our airbnb. There's no heat in the airbnb.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: No heat, I kid you not, and we call the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: maintenance guy. I don't know if this is ever happened
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: to you, guys, you ever call a maintenance guy. He
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: comes to look at whatever the problem is, and he looks,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: he looks the same as you. You like, oh, I
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: don't know. And then and then he just leaves. And
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I'm like, it brought you.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: I brought you to I brought you to more blankets, and.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Like that's it as well, you know, I don't know.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: See you boil some water and put a put a
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: towel over there.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: So I'm looking at my wife and we're shivering, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: she's gonna bum me it's an Airbnb that didn't have
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: a table or chairs, a kid.
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: You know, sounds like sounds like you're really sprung for the.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: That is a very good point because I said to
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: my wife, who controls our money?
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: My money?
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I go, uh no, she's got a job. What what's
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: our budget? She goes as cheap as possible.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, You're like, you're like Caner. Then you're like Kaner,
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: So all your money goes through your significant other because
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: Kaner doesn't even know who his insurance policies are with.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Are you like that too?
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: You have no ide quite that bad. But it's on
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the same tip. It's on the same line, you know. Yeah,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I know you don't trust the Queen Chip. You're both
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: on the You're both on the e line.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: It's just different stops.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, I got a charade. It's the long story is
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I'm on the back side of this. I feel bad
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: for Brett because how bad must that have been for
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: him to leave the show?
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: Well, he didn't.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: He didn't have the chest thing going on, like and
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: it's just and it's not down here, it's just up
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: and here.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: It's like, uh, the right there jungle gym that Thattoria infested.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Okay, so he's got the he's got the he's got
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: like he's on a on a cruise and stuck in
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: his cabin and that's what he's.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Getting, right. So this is important for everybody to know.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: For for for whatever you want to say about the
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: three of us, the one thing we have in common,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: all of our kids are gone. They're they're gone. So
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: whatever is happening at this station is not our fault,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: no way, now, correct, That is correct?
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: So where did it emanate?
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Correat? We need to find who to blame for all
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: of this, because that's what we do in sports talk.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: We look at the most negative thing possible and we
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: blame people.
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: Well, has been coach stand has been pending it on
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: Andy Lindall all week. He says he's patient zero. Okay,
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: let's all say it at the same time. In three
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: two one, I knew.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: That was coming coming.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: Coming.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I should have had come on, you should I'm so sorry.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: It's such a good bit. Can we do that again?
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: All right, let's do it again in three two one mo.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's what's funny. Last night, so Mosa calls
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: me last night, Vic and he sounds fine, I mean
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: like mosr sounds to the degree that I'm like.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, he's playing to the camera.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: It's that's that's what my wife said. She's like you,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: She's like, you're just you're you're acting like this, I said, playing,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I said the louder. I get that's when it does that.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: But I can if I talk down here like this,
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: I can control it.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he sounded like predator and then not a Nashville one.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: When you were talking like that to Bedzi, Yeah exactly. Hey,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: but Moser's screaming to me vic about Sean Payton and uh,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: which which I get. I get, you know, like who
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: is Sean Payton and what kind of guy is he?
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: And all that sort of thing. And it's it's weird
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: because being around coaches like that is it's tricky. I've
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I've done, you know what, you know what, I've experienced
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: it with college basketball coaches. College I think they're the worst.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: And I don't know.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: Your boy, Jim Beeheim at Syracuse is one of the
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: worst of all time.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Can you believe that's the first guy I ever covered
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: period ever?
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, welcome to Baptism by Fire. One of
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: the first guys, as I covered was Buddy Ryan.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the fact that you both didn't walk away with
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: the limp is pretty is pretty amazing.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't make him a bad coach.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: You just have to understand that, dude. We've all been
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: through this, dmac. We've all been young reporters who have
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: been chastised, belittled, and and and looked down upon by
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: veteran coaches. When I was twenty years old, I was
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: interviewing Bobby Knight in South Bend, Indiana. How was that
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: I sat down next when we had a one on
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: one we were doing a half hour special. He took
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: off his Lava Leer microphone and threw it at me
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: because he didn't like one of the questions I asked.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I was twenty, So what do you think it is
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: about the culture of college basketball that creates that? Why?
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: I just think because there are so many games, you're
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: wound up a lot, and there they're just hyper dudes.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Because the anxiety levels at basketball, for the most parts,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: hockey a lot of games one after another. It's on
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: the next game, on the next mine. You never have
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: time to relax. I don't know. And in college basketball
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: it's more of a paternal I'm the I'm the father
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: figure here. I'm running the show. Everybody's under me has
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: something to do with that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: In regards now to Sean Payton or d mak, yeah,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: this is a this is I mean, this is an
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: important time in the development his football team.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: I mean it really is.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Yep, this game coming up, You've earned the number one seed,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: but you're probably I'm not whistling by the graveyard, but
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: you have some things that you know that you must
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: fix or do better or you're gonna get bounced on Saturday. Okay,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: so there's probably, I want to say pressure, itself imposed pressure.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: But he knows that his team is a dog coming
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: in and there's a reason they're a dog. Now again,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: a win is a win is a win, and he
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: says that, but he can't keep saying that to himself
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: in the film room. He can't keep saying that to
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: himself with his coaches. They've got to talk real about
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: what the issues are regarding their football team and about
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: how to fix them.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Is it a mistake for report to use football jargon
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: when talking to an athlete or a coach, Like you never, never.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: Never, It's never a mistake. You try to appeal.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: You know, hey, coach, on that double a gap blitz,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: I noticed that you're running a twist that.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: What do you know about a double a gap blitz?
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: What do you know about it?
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: You're driving me crazy.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know nothing.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Let me let me go. I'm gonna hit this with
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: two different topics here because it's it's funny they sort
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: of intertwined. I don't know if you guys saw. Pat
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: McAfee went off on on sports media the other day
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: saying that everybody, you know, most sports people hate sports,
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: and I'm like, dude, you have no idea what talking about.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: You're a former athlete who got into this because you're
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: very talented in what you do. You had a great platform.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: But don't try and generalize what media. Most of the
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: people in this business love sports. Yes, it's why we're
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: here because it is it's our love language. We love sports. Okay,
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: so don't don't say crap like that. You have no
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: idea what you're talking about. At the same time, we
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: don't know what we don't know. We think we know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: but we don't. We're not in the locker room, we're
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: not in the meetings, we're not looking at tape you know,
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: my biggest pet peeve is when people of our ilk
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: try to break down tape as if I'll look at this,
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, you can go so far, but we're never
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: gonna know what coaches know, they're paid to do that.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: Guess what, They're never gonna know what we know. Either
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: it works the other way, so I'm never offended by it.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: I thought that a little back and forth between Sean
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: Payton and Luca yesterday. It was funny. Was it necessary?
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: No?
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: But it was funny. I laughed, I snickered.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Here it is if you missed it, greenlawn.
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: Back for this game is ability to attack down hill
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: in the run games?
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: How is that?
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: The timing of it this one?
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: If you want him to attack downhill is that you're like,
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: what do you know about attacking downhill in the run game?
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: You don't know? All right, that's right, have him attacking downhill.
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: It's good to have a healthy Drey. Greenlawn back in again.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: You hold your hand, get part of me, part of
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: me because we can be sarcastic on this program and.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: We can do this kind of thing.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: And my wife is the queen of sarcasms. Unbelievably good.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: But the condescending nature of Sean Payton sometimes. I mean,
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: I find it humorous, I find it probably correct at times,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: but I also find it in incredibly.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: D bag like it's it's a funny.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: I think he was having fun because he knows Luca.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Now they have a relationship. Dude, there's a relationship there,
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: and I think he just delved off that.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: I would tell you this. I will tell you this.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I found out when he got off the podium. It
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: continued with Luca. It just wasn't on Mike, and there
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: was a little bit of a smile. But it's one
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: of these like, man, are they friends are not? Or
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: like it's like it's not quite clear, but he's having
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: fun with it. Listen, I think what you saw when
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Sean is like that, it's the most confident of Sean's
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: It's the best of Sewan, believe it or not. You know,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: when he snapped at Kizla, that was not a good moment.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: That was completely different because the guy had just finished
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: a fourteen and three season and he's salty, like that's death.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Gripping the steering wheel around the sushi restaurant parking lot.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: That was not a good moment. That right, there, Vic Moses,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: that's just Sean in his element, man, feeling it.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Man, it's a big week for him. Man, Right, there's
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: a lot of pressure, guys. There's a lot of pressure
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: this week for a lot of people in that Denver
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Broncos locker room. And if you were to apply percentage
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: of pressure, okay, I think Sean Payton is feeling most
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: of it. Joe Nicks is right behind him because Sean Payton,
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: this is what because he's already made his prediction. He's
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: already told us what this team is. He's already laid
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: it out for us. Plus, I think he's feeling the
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: pressure because if you look at the Denver Broncos, what
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: part of the Denver Bronca is most suspect what the
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: football is, part of the.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: Offense.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: So that's why he's feeling it. Guys, they've got to produce.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: He's feeling it and you can all see it.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: You know, it's funny.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: That's why I said, Darren, But that's why I said,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: he can have that bravado in front of the camera,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: and I think he probably should and he may have
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: some of it in regards to his team, and you know,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: watching film and breaking things down.
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: But when he's with his own.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Thoughts or with the thoughts of of just his tight
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: circle inside that building, you know, they know that they
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: they know that things have to go right a little
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: bit for them too, you know, And they know that
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: they have to at least try to run the football
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: as best they possibly can.
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: And we'll see if they can, but they they've got
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: to try.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: It's funny because the thing they need to do is
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: the thing that they've done the worst, and it's the
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: thing the Bills will allow the most. The Bills stink
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: stop in the run. They're hoping to get at Oliver
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Bag would would be huge for them, but they've been bad,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: and they've been bad stopping quarterbacks from running the ball.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: So if you're Sean Payton, can you lean into what
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: you have done the worst all year? Can you do
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: it well?
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: He's had to write it down several times on his
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: play sheet. We'll find out what kind of patience he
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: has on Saturday. I'm telling you this is I'm not
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: gonna call it a critical game. I don't want to
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: get stupid, but my goodness, what this can do for
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: this franchise. Because if you can beat Buffalo, a team
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: that embarrassed you last year. Yes, and if you look
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: at the final score, it was an embarrassing score. But
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: the game was much closer than the score at halftime.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: It was much closer. Hell didn't then Will Lutts miss
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: a field goal right before the half that could have
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: tied it at halftime?
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Man, good memory.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: I don't know, yeah, I think he did. So that
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: game was a game. It was a game. But this
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: one everything he said after that game last year, we
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: need to figure out a way to get this in home. Well,
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: let's at home. Pressure's on.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll get back to it after what you want,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: After nine o'clock, we'll hit back on it. I'm loving
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: the win by the Nuggets last night. Vic, Oh my god, Like,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: I don't care another one. I don't care. How many
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: you know the Pelicans have a stinky record.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: I don't care. I thought that was an amazing game.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: And you guys earlier brought up a huge question, what
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: do you do with Peyton Watson? Because to deny this
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: guy is ridiculous. VIC sat down with Peyton one on one.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: It's motion Lombardi and Kane here on ninety two five.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll have the keys of the game to
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: the MAVs against the Nuggets later tonight. Great win by
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets over the Pelicans, and boy Vic, we were
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: here in some tricky territory and by the way, it's
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: dmac here just for a little bit, just to serve
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Vic and mos Brett was feeling it. We're all feeling it,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: and so that's why this is. That's it, just for
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: one little moment. So just explain to what's going on
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Vic last night? How would you classify that win?
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: Another gritty performance against an inferior team. I get it.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: People look at the New Orleans Pelicans. They've only won
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: nine games. Most of the times you should beat them.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: But given the state of the Nuggets, with all the injuries,
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: there are no assurances, no sure things. So the fact
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: they won great and they won and clutch again. Five
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: of the last six wins, all of them without Nikolejokic,
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: have come in clutch time. They are executing down the stretch.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: They are getting the buckets from the people that listen.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: This is a good problem. I'm gonna set this up
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: by saying it's not a problem. I don't want to
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: call it a problem. It's an option that has presented
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: itself that we never anticipated. I never knew that at
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: mid January we would be asking this question. But here
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: it is, what do you do with Peyton Watson when
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: everybody's healthy? Because this is now a He's not just
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: an ornamental piece. He's not just a hey look at
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: this guy. No, this is the reigning Western Conference Player
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: of the week. He is a guy who can go
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: get you at least twenty on a given night, who
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: can create his own shot. How many players on this
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: team can create their own shot? He can. He's developed
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: into that. Last night he goes for thirty one, seven
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: and five, just about his average over the last week.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: As a starter, He's been very effective. He hit the
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: go ahead shot last night with fourteen seconds left. His
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: mid range game has come out of nowhere and just sprung.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: I'm like, what, I didn't know you had this? What
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: do you do when Cam Johnson and Christian Brown are
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: back fully healthy and you've got this kid who has
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: emerged into a verifiable score as well as a defensive player.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: What do you do? And I raised that question because
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: I guarantee you the coaches are wondering the same thing.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Well, can I can I ask you a question first
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: before answering emotion. Maybe you might feel the same. Does
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: he need to start to be as effective as he
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: possibly can?
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: I don't know starting is overrated. I'm not saying you
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: need to start. I'm not saying that he needs to
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: come off with the first unit. Minutes are more important.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just checking because I don't know. If there's a
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: certain confidence, a rhythm to your day, you know what
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, like something that goes into starting. I know
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: they've started, like Hunter Tyson for a couple of games
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: and that hasn't meant anything in terms of minutes. I
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: understand it's more important to finish, but most you might
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: might might see that, right, like old guy has a
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: certain confidence being on one line than another, right, you know.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I mean there's something to it, no doubt about it.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: But I just think that Watson's you know, he's been around. Now,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: he knows what his role is at this point. Okay,
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: he's getting more minutes now. But this guy was a
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: first round draft pick. Now, he was a late first
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: round draft pick. He was at the end of the
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: first round, but he was a first round draft pick.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: It's not like this is found.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: Gold out of the G League. Okay, So if you're.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: The Denver Nuggets, I mean I think that you would
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: have hoped and by the way, you picked him with
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: very very.
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: Little college experience, very little.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: I think you would have hoped that this would be
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: the guy that he that you wanted him to go.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I'll give you, I'll give you the harsh reality.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: But no, but that, but that's but saying that, d MAC,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: you should have been planning for this, hopefully over the
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: over this time. You should have been planning that this
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: guy is going to become a player for us, not
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: just a flub.
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: Down at the end of the bench.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but if they were planning for it, Mose and Vic,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: when they have paid him in the offseason like they
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: did for CB, well yeah.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm saying, but but but he's okay, he's here.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Now, right you want to He's here now.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Now, You've got to make the now, You've got to
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: make the plans even more secure at this moment.
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: And if you have to go Apron, you probably have
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: to go Apron.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I think the harsh I think the harsh reality.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: Vic.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: To answer your question, and you're you know your opinion
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: would matter more than mine. But I think CB comes
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: off the bench, that's it, and then he'll get his
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: minutes where he can. I don't know how.
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: Using the words. You're using the word bench a minute.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: I'll use minutes's minutes. CEB's minutes got to come down
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: for Peyton Watson.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: How's that if? If that's your solution, that's a verifiable
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: that's I mean, you can look at the numbers and say, Okay,
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: this guy deserves that. I think it's gonna come somewhere
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: between because they're coming off injury CB and Cam Johnson,
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: because both of them are gonna be on minutes restrictions
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: when they return, right, especially Cam, I think both of
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: their minutes, whatever minutes they don't play, have to go
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: to Peyton Watson. I'll give you an example, like this
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: guy didn't start. He hasn't started the last couple games,
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: but he's playing most of them. Min Tim Hardaway Junior
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: played thirty three minutes last night, third most minutes on
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: the team. He didn't start. Doesn't matter who starts down
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: the down the stretch, who plays in crunch time, who
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: plays And that's the question that these coaches. That is
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: a tough one because each of those players, I can
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: make an argument for Christian Brown was there from the
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: get go. He helped win you a championship. He's played
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: crunch time minutes already and produced in crunch time. Now
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: he's hurt. He hasn't been the same since he's been hurt.
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: Cam Johnson, there's the reason you wouldn't got him. You
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: want to space the court with Joker because he can
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: hit a three at will. So do you want to
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: take a lethal three point shooter off the court? Do
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: you want to do that? And then there's Peyton Watson
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: who now we're seeing a guy who not only can
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: hit threes, he can he can play mid range. I
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: I tell you it's not a problem, it's an opportunity.
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: I remember Nuggets have walked into an opportunity.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a good problem, Vic, but you you
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: should be thanking your lucky stars that this guy has
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: become the guy that he's become. And there's probably a
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: little bit more in there. He's still a very young guy.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: How old is Peyton Watson right now?
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Twenty three?
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: He's twenty three, He's twenty three years old. His birthday's.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: His birthdays in November or November, my bad September, So
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: he won't be twenty four until next seven hours.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Crazy, I mean, and this guy's.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Playing the way he's playing. Thank your lucky stars that
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: you got this guy like this. It's a good problem
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: to have. He should be an eager beaver even when
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: this team is fully healthy, and you've got to get
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: him under contract, and if you need to move somebody
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: to get him, if you need to move somebody, listen, every.
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: Guy, I'm not gonna worry about movie. I see, Okay,
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: this guy, I know what's about this conversation about what
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: you do with him in the off season, because it's
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: gonna come up. I get it, it's going to be.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be a major, major decision. I'm worried about
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: this team going to run at the championship this year.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: This is what you have.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Well, then you should be happy with what you're seeing.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: And it's fine. I think he's fine if he's if
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: he's in the lineup, and I think it's fine if
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: he's off the bench.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: All right, Uh, I know you sat down with him.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Should we hear a little bit?
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know the thing about you just mentioned how
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: he's twenty three that's just amazing to me. At the
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: age of twenty three. It's not just his game that's progressing,
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: it's his maturity. Say what you want about Peyton Watson, Man,
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: he lives and plays under the humble eye of Nicola Jokic,
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: and he learns what Nicola does and he and I'm
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: telling you he sort of walks that walk. Just listen
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: to this conversation I had with Peyton Watson yesterday upon
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: learning he was the Western Conference Player of the Week,
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: Western Conference reigning player of the week. Man, how does
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: that sound?
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: Sounds amazing? Sounds amazing.
• 39:51
  Speaker 10: It's an amazing accomplishment, like DA said, in this accomplishment for
• 39:54
  Speaker 10: the team who's played amazing basketball when three one last week,
• 39:58
  Speaker 10: So that helped everything. And I'm just, you know, super
• 40:00
  Speaker 10: grateful for my teammates and my coaches.
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: I think we saw what you can do six weeks
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: ago on this court when you had a double double,
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: thirty two, twelve, five threes. How confident were you after
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: that specific game.
• 40:12
  Speaker 10: Oh, it was a huge confidence boosts just seeing those
• 40:14
  Speaker 10: shots go in that I worked so hard on boarding
• 40:17
  Speaker 10: it really well and coming in here getting a win
• 40:20
  Speaker 10: that means the world to me.
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And then when you're thrust into this starting lineup
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: on a consistent basis, how much easier is it when
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: you get that freedom. You know, it's not just a
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: five minute or ten minutes stead, but you're going to
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: play most of the game.
• 40:31
  Speaker 10: That's amazing.
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 40:32
  Speaker 10: It gives you a chance to find your rhythm, and
• 40:35
  Speaker 10: if you find it early, you can put together some
• 40:36
  Speaker 10: really good games. But more than anything, I think that
• 40:39
  Speaker 10: it's just been good for our team, just me having
• 40:42
  Speaker 10: those extended minutes to guard, to be aggressive and try
• 40:45
  Speaker 10: to get some things going for our team.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: I was not familiar with your inside game. Man, When
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: did you start applying those shots around the rim like
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: you have the last couple of weeks.
• 40:55
  Speaker 10: I've been It's something that I've been working on for
• 40:57
  Speaker 10: a long time, just you know, in the dark, and
• 41:00
  Speaker 10: it wasn't something that I was necessarily called on or
• 41:03
  Speaker 10: asked Toude to do on the team, just because we
• 41:05
  Speaker 10: have so many great players and a great team. But
• 41:07
  Speaker 10: when they do need me to get in there and
• 41:09
  Speaker 10: score and you know, show off what I've been working on,
• 41:11
  Speaker 10: I'm able to do that at a high level recently,
• 41:14
  Speaker 10: and it just goes all back to the work.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: You know, I noticed in Philly sometimes you need that
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: player that's gonna put his head down and go to
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: the rim. Whether you're successful or not, you give your
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: team a chance to rebound. Is that your mindset out,
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: I'm going to get to the rim no matter what.
• 41:26
  Speaker 10: Absolutely, I think that it's a huge advantage when you
• 41:29
  Speaker 10: could get two feet and the paint and get to
• 41:31
  Speaker 10: the rim. I mean, it opens up so much stuff,
• 41:32
  Speaker 10: not only for myself but for my teammates as well.
• 41:35
  Speaker 10: And then like you said, it just helps with our
• 41:36
  Speaker 10: interior presence and so allows us to get more second
• 41:39
  Speaker 10: chance opportunities and just get more shots at the rim.
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: You know what I a little about your game is
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: that you welcome success, but you also understand that there's adversity.
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: That Dallas game when you have that chop in the corner,
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: it rattled in and out. You played Dallas tomorrow night.
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: How badly do you want that opportunity again?
• 41:54
  Speaker 10: That's what the game is about. You know, the game
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: is gonna give you opportunities, and sometimes you're gonna rise
• 41:59
  Speaker 10: to the ak and then sometimes you follow a little
• 42:01
  Speaker 10: bit short of what the goal is. But the most
• 42:03
  Speaker 10: important thing to me. Like I said after the game,
• 42:05
  Speaker 10: was that Nicola trusted me to take that shot in
• 42:07
  Speaker 10: that moment, and that's something that's going to pay dividends
• 42:10
  Speaker 10: for our team later on.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I think, well, speaking of the game against Dallas, it's.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: The Johnson Auto Plaza. It's cheese to the game Johnsonado Plaza.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Experience the power of the plaza when they had the
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: keys to performance in style with Ram, Jeep, Chevy, Pwick
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: and GMC and a huge selection of Houston all in
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: one place. Here's move sher, Lombardi and King.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: I'm listening to that Vic and I'm like, I can't
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: believe he's the same age as my kids. Like that
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: is ridiculous.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: Always listen to that, say what is your problem?
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: What is the problem is is that you're in it
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: with your kids, so you always think they're going to
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: be dipholes. You know, somebody else may listening to your
• 42:48

  Speaker 5: you've got Eric Gordon who's been on a minute's restriction.

  Speaker 5: I don't know if he continues to be so, but
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: will he play both ends of the back to back.

  Speaker 5: played last night more minutes than anybody. Will he be

  Speaker 5: a lot of it depends on who's gonna be out there.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: I can tell you this. They owe Dallas because they've
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: lost twice to Dallas this season. It's the only team
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: that they've played in more than once and not beaten yet.
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: So Dallas will be without Anthony Davis. Handle the rebounds.
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: Last night, the Nuggets got beat on the boards.
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: Dallas will be without Anthony Davis, Shucker.
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: I know that's a new one. But Anthony Davis, if
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: you recall the game in Denver, he really even the
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: one in Dallas, he really dominated the Nuggets on both sides.
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: So that's a big void to fill for Dallas and
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: a big plus for the Nuggets. Handle the boards. You
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: didn't do it last night, and it came close. Handle
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: the boards tonight and you got chance to win both
• 44:00
