  Speaker 1: We've called this special edition of twenty five Whistles because
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the Celtics lost last night.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: That's that's why I feel like you wanted to do
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: this honestly, well, only because you said you weren't worried.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: That's the only reason I knew.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I was watching that game. I was like, dang it,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: You're like.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I ain't worried. I ain't worried. So this will not
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: be a long episode, but welcome follow us at twenty
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: five whistles. Let's start with that game. And b was
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: out for the whole game. I didn't watch it because
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I did not think it was going to be a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: game either, But I just would never when my team's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: playing God is nothing, Never would I do that. But
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: George the whole thing. Yes, Okay, beginning then and Ba's out,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Harden went off, scored forty five, a playoff high for him.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I did see the last second shot. I went back
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and watched some clips, but I just I guess I
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: learned of their lost Celtics because they kept showing the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Harden clip on every social media account that I follow.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: They were like twelve seconds left to be fair. When
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: he nailed it, he was up down one right, yeah,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: step back, boom deep one. So I guess the Celtics
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: had a chance at the end.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they blew it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: So tell me about that, because that wasn't showed in
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the clip. It was just hardeness there.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they still had eight seconds ago they inbound
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: on the ball. Marcus Smart got it, he drove, went
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: down the middle, Tatum was right there ready for the rebounds,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and then he tried to hand it off to Tatum.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: It was just I didn't know that's what that was.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: That's all that played. Yeah.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Their whole sequence in the last three minutes was got awful.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Hard and had thirty nine minutes forty five points, seventeen
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: of thirty from the field. Jeez. Then he shot over
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: fifty percent and he did shoot fifty percent from three
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: point line, had six assists too. Even with forty five points,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Harden went off and then I saw after the game
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: everybody was celebrating and Hard's like ah and go locker
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: room we don't celebrate after that's one game and I
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: was like, who is this James Harden?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I know he was in Vegas over the weekend. Two
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and then he comes back and does.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: That Tyers Maxie had twenty six points, Melton had seventeen
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to help Harden. Uh Key plays down the stretch, Hardens
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: deep through with eight seconds left, Max's and one layup
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: with a minute and a half left. Do you recall
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that one?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was called one ref called it a charge,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: one called it a block. That went reviewed it and
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: it ended up being a block.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I saw the Brody turnover two.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Oh that was the dagger Well, I mean obviously the
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: hard and three, but that was just like, what are
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: we doing?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because seat clock was down, they'd moved they'd moved
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: it a little bit, and he just kind of like,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it looked like a weird, weird pass
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and went over Tatum's head. Right.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even I think he thought Tatum was still there. Yeah,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: he just threw it back there blindly, and Tatum would
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: hadn't moved at that point.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: The seventy six ers one on a ten to four run.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The last two forty four of the game. You could
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: tell I didn't watch it, and I watched it all
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: on clips because all mine's out of order in my head.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: But I couldn't believe it, and I was like, we
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: got to get on and talk about this. Yeah, Kevin
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: feels after oh one, after we lost, I was like, no, indeed,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it's a good thing. We're not doing a pod. Well,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: are you sad after that? Or yeah, that's only one game?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: No, for sure, I'm sad because you have to have
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that game with them beat out and the way that
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: they played down the stretch Missoula. I talked about this
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: a little last week. He scares me, the way that
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: he draws some stuff up, especially in crunch time and doctors.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Rivers isn't even that great a coach, but he out
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: coaching big time.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: That was in Boston, right, So that sucks too because
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you've now lost home court advantage. Not that it always
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: goes at but as of right now, they've lost home
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: court advantage. Yeah. So they play another one in Boston. Yeah,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and then they go to Philly? Is that right? Is
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that the order? It was?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Sad?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It was said the Nuggets beat Sons, Chris Paul got hurt.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I saw him. Chris Paul always been turning the playoffs
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: like that's what he's known for. Yeah, two things, One
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: not winning a champion, maybe the best player to not
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: win a championship, and then two always getting hurt in
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and also being age fifty three, that too, Yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: but still legit as a point guard. But you Algays
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: put up thirty nine points, had sixteen rebounds, played forty
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: one minutes. Nuggets up two to oh over the Suns.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It's going to be tough now for the Suns. I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: don't know if Paul is coming back for Game three
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: or not, but they don't have a point guard. Katie
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: played forty four minutes, score twenty four points, grab eight rebounds,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: but again that number is forty four minutes. Booker played
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: forty five minutes. Chris Paul left the game in the third,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: but left growing tightness. The Nuggets also shot sixteen more
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: free throws in the Suns and outscored them the paint
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: by eighteen. The Suns kept a close all game, but
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Denver pulled away in the fourth. Game three Friday in Phoenix. Wow,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: they have a bit of time here, m HM Tuesday
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: with they have three days off that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Helps Chris right, maybe, yeah, I would think.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It until he finds his next injury, until he gets
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: hurt again. Ohio has halted betting on Alabama baseball after
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: suspicious activity. Ohio gambling regulators on Monday instructed the state's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: licensed sportsbooks to betting on college baseball games involving Alabama
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: after suspicious wagering activity was detected on the Crimson Tides
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: game against top ranked LSU on Friday, Ohio Casino Control
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Commission Executive Matthew Schuler issued a statement that said he
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: prohibits the acceptance of any wagers on University Avelopment baseball,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: effective immediately. Now, this is a state by state thing
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: though right like, there's not a all states that allow
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: gambling have to stop. It's state by state, which is
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: why it's not federal because federally it isn't legal to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: gamble because there are a lot of states that still
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: don't have legalized sports gambling. So there was a report
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: from an independent monitor. On Friday, a Las Vegas based
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: firm that monitors the betting markets issued an alert to
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: its sportsbook clients regarding suspicious wagering activity involving the Alabama
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: LSU game. There is no national gaming regulator. LSU led
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Alabama eight to one after seven innings and held off
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a late rally with the Crimson Tide for an eight
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: six victory. I wonder what the bet was though Alabama
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: plays Vanderbilt on Thursday. Was. I don't know what the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: spread was. I don't know what the run I mean
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: runs they were given. I'm assuming LSU was a favorite here.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I just wish it would also tell us what the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: bet was, not just as they shut it and I'm like,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: why what? How much teasing us? Like what was the bet?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Did it work? And how much did they bet? I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: didn't know all that. Like I'm not big gossip guy,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: but that's kind of gossip. I want right there. I
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: want to know how much the bet was, because it
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: had to be one hundred thousand dollars.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, enough to wave a red flag for sure. Yeah,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: it's got to be a lot and something odd.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Because otherwise, if you're just betting the line and you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: bet one hundred thousand bucks, that ain't gonna do anything
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: except somebody's gonna go, oh, that's a rich person betting. Now.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I'm think it's gonna be like half million dollars. What
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: were they betting? That would be so coold to know?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So that's what's up. But mostly just wanted to come
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: on and talk about Celtics. I figured there's a couple
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of games tonight.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Huh yeah, Heat Nicks, Lakers Warriors.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Man that Lakers Warriors series is that's super cool. But
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: again it's like I use this analogy a lot, Iron
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Man versus Captain America, where I like both of them,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and whomever wins that I don't know though, because if
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Denver wins the series, Denver, nobody's believed in them all year.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: They quietly have just simply won Denver or the Lakers
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Denver for the Suns, And I'm talking about the whole thing, Okay,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Like if Denver beats the Suns, which I expect them
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to do now because they're up to to oh not
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: because I think I still think the Suns could win it,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not even declaring, but I said yesterday if they
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: go down to it's gonna be real hard, especially with
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Chris Paul Hurt all the minutes that Booker, I mean,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Booker's gonna have to play point guard some or at
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: least bring it down and play point Yeah, he's just
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: what he's gonna have to do, run the offense. So
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: but if it's Denver versus LA or Golden State, same thing.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: It's like, whomever wins that one you want to unless
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you're a Celtics fan, I'd like to see whomever from
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the West win it. I think.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, Denver looks the best.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: If Golden State wins it again, that's awesome, Steph gets
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: another ring. If a Lakers win it, that's awesome because
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I thought the Lakers could do it. If Denver wins it,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I love it because it's a team that hasn't been
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: in the mix, smallish market when it comes to the NBA,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and they deserved it. They had a wonderful season over
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: on the East. The Celtics obviously they didn't win it
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: last year, but they made it to the finals. A
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: bit unexpected for them to make it that far. The Sixers.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: That's an interesting dynamic because it's Harden. I mean, he
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: hasn't won a title, embeied. He doesn't want a title,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: just the process. Yeah, been along process. Yeah. So from
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the East, there's that Both of those teams you have
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: there's a reason to root for them. There's Miami who
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: came out of the playing game. There are just so
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: many good guys. There aren't enough bad guys. Can we
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: put Dylan Brooks on one of these teams? I don't
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: even care which one. Just take Dylan Brooks and put
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: them on the team. So we have to make a
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: root against he's a free agent. And even the Knicks,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: they've been so bad for so long. If they win
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that series with Brunson, who in Dallas was a distant
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: number two, they don't want to pay him. So he
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: goes to New York and is, you know, top ten
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: player in the league this year. All these teams are
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: good guys. The only bad guy team would be the Suns,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I guess, but I like Kde But we're trying to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: force a villain here. If Jannis was still in and
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the Bucks, they'd be the bad guy, even though Joannis
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: is very likable because Jannis is the best player in
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the league. And the Bucks have won one and they
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: were the one seed.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah they were the top dog.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: But there's no villain. And the one seed over in
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the West is Denver and that's super cool because Denver
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: never wins. Crap, It's awesome.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gotta be Lebron too, though at the same time, because.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: You really like le Lebron in a villain and the
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Lakers have sucked all year. Lebron ain't a villain. Yeah,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: maybe you're right. Some people do see the Lakers, but
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the Lakers have never been a threat. They can't be
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the villain team. Do you feel like the villain team?
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: No, I still don't. I wouldn't be confident in them. Yeah, exactly,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: But it's still Lebron and you're still watching to see
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: him either win or lose.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: That's greatness. We rarely get to see pure greatness.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: We'll see it with Stephane.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, both of them. Yeah. Anyway, this is
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: your basketball audition. This is not a long show, and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that's how we'll do this thing for now. One for
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the most part, unless we get a good interview, is
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that if there's something that happens we would want to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: talk about it, maybe only fifteen minutes. How long is it, Mike?
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: This is ten minutes. There we go. It's ten minutes
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: of pure goodness right here. NBA playoff basketball and Alabama betting.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: If anybody knows what happened there, message me. I would
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: love to know that. Have you ever been to the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: College World Series? No, baseball, No, it's pretty awesome. It's
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: always in Omaha.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be a lot of fun.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I've been a couple of times. Yeah, pretty cool. And
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Omaha is like they're perfect for it because they're ready
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: for it. They know what's about to hit them. They
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: thrive in it. It is theirs. They embrace it. It's awesome.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: That would be a lot of fun.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot of fun. All Right, that's what's up.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: We're good. We're good.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: But yes, may blow the whistle ten minutes go. I
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: want to thought. Oh, I want the Lakers to win,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: but if they don't, I'm okay with that. And then
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: if it's Golden State versus Denver, I want Golden State
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to win, but if they don't, I'm okay with that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be a fun one.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And then if it's Denver versus whomever, I want Denver
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to win.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Do you want other than the Lakers in the West,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: then you want Denver.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: That's an interesting question. I'd probably go Lakers Warriors, Oh, Denver, Miami.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: This is a want. This is not my favorite team,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: but who I'd want to see because that would be
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: an awesome A playing team wins at all, that then
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: makes those games that much more important because Eybod looks
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: at the playing games now like it's a bull crap.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Who cares? They sucked all year and now they're gonnaet
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the plaofs. They're going to lose a draft position. But
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: if Miami can do it, or even if they just
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: win the series against the Knicks, like that is a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: big step for that playing game. So I think for
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: that reason, I like that story that's probably four sons
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: five because I think if Durank can win one without Steph,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: how many of the Durant one were they all with Steph?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right three Steph's won a couple with that Durant two. Yeah,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: because Steph has four Yeah, then I would go the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Sons at five, Miami at four, Sons at five, Knicks
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: at six. Dang, this is an anti Celtics podcast. Celtics
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: at seven, Okay, here we go, and I'm gonna go
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: with Philly at eight.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: That's my root and it's nothing. It's the Celtics. I
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: think Tatum's awesome. Yeah. I actually like a lot of
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Celtics players, and I even like their coaching staff. I
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: like the new guy who kind of gets thrust in
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: there because you know, you know email. I like that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I like that I'm rooting for him. I like the man,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I like the executives there. So that's what's up. All right,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: we're done, here's the whistle. We're out. We'll see you guys.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see when we see if I already.
