3-03-26 Hour 3 - Nugs style points matter/Avs are still sittin' pretty overall/Jokic will never get calls · Moser, Lombardi and Kane

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is Mosher, Lombardi and Kane on demand. Listen live
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio not E two five and on the Altitude Sports
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Radio App.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I become an expert at this over the course of
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: this year because I did this every Monday with the Broncos.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: It felt like, and I'm going to do it with
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets. They won, and I don't really care. That
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: game pissed me off. It wasn't good enough. And when
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: you're playing a team that is as bad as Utah
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: and is I mean as actively trying to be as
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: horrible as Utah is, I don't think there's any excuse
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: if you're a championship team who's already been struggling, by
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the way, to be down four points late in that
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: game and needing by my count, twenty free throws in
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter as opposed to two for Utah to
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: win that game, they're.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Sort of missing around. Defensively, you could see in the
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: defensive intensity or lack thereof. They made the necessary plays late,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: but defensively they were just never really in that game.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: In case in point, look at the final score.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I just I'm like, are they incapable of just going
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: out improving to everyone to when you play a bad team,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: just making them feel it. And I get that they
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: did that against Portland, and they had a good win
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: against Boston, But you're coming off of a couple of
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: games or a lot of games in which you're losing
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: close to good basketball teams, and you're like, party thinks, Hey,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: a couple of bounces go your way, maybe these things
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: can flip and everything doesn't seem so dire. But then
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I see a game like that and it just it
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: further pushes me to this feeling of this isn't right.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if just guys returning from injury
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: are gonna get this fixed again. It should help, but
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: there has to be like an attitude and a confidence
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: that's just missing right now.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, so one me an order and most I'll ask
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: you first in what order what needs to change for
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the Nuggets to find their way again, because oh man,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: six games now, they've got a six game stretch that
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: is going to be the hardest six game stretch of
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: the season again, Lakers and Knicks on a back to back.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Then they've got what's after that, Houston. Then they've got
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: this six game stretch is La New York, ok See, Houston,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: San Antonio and then the Lakers.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, that is tough, that's brutal.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: I looked at that lineup Vic about two weeks ago,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: and I'm thinking of myself. I don't know what they're
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: going to come out of that stretch record wise with,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: but I hope it's five hundred, you know. I hope
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: that it's just somehow maintained Vica. I wish I knew,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: because on any given night, the defense stakes. But then
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: you know what they do, like that Clippers game. I'll
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: still go back to it. God dang, that fourth quarter
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: olay olay, olay to the bucket and the Clippers are
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: just driving on because the Nuggets won't stop it. But
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: then you get that Boston game and they locked down
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: so tight that you could long tone and I'm like
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: that that's it right there. So it's it's is it
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: a want to or is it a scheme? On any
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: given night? Is it the lack of confidence? Is a
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: lack of belief? Is it vikets all these things that
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: play into it. And Brett was correct earlier, there was
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: a time around these parts, picking you and I have
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: talked about this a thousand times. Hey, it wasn't pretty,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: but you know what, they got the win. Thank god
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: they got the win. Let's keep on going. Okay, those
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: days are long gone. This is a championship, supposedly championship
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: caliber contending team. You don't jerk around with a frigging
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: team that's trying to tank, being investigated by the league
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: and giving up one hundred and twenty five points to them.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: You gave up a buck twenty five to a team
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: that for the last two months has been wilfully trying
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: to lose. Again, maybe they wanted to win last night.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: But but Brett is correct, Vic, You're you're you're better
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: than this.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Start acting like it, all right, So most I'll disagree
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: with you on this that the organization is actively trying
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: to lose, but the players on that court are trying
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: to win. Your true.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: But but you're out there, Nikola Joki is getting is
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: getting posted up by by an accountant what's his name.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: There's a bunch of them.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: My buddy, my buddy texted me this and I want
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: you to verify it if it's true. He just texted me.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Chris says, you just saw the Nuggets have the second
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: best odds currently to win an NBA championship this season.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Maybe you're being a little too critical, Chris.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: You stuff it?
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Check check that out, verify that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Say that again? What am I?
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: According to Chris, the Nuggets currently have the second best
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: odds to win the NBA title this season.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: All right, you'd be a little over.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: So check those odds. And and being overleague critical, I
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: think at times is healthy because every team goes through it.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Every team has those moments, those stretches. I mean even
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: OKC did okay s had a stretch of two weeks,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: so I'm sure their fan base is like, what is
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: going on here?
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: It's just the way it works. The problem with the
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Nuggets stretch is the schedule doesn't let up. The schedule
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: gets harder and harder, it seems every week.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Their third there, they're really close behind San Antonio.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: But okay, so there's still they're still among the favorites.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing that I don't care about what the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: oddsmakers have because I'm watching this every night with my
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: own eyes. And here's my big problem. Because you asked,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: what do you want to see in this stretch? And
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna give you a win loss record.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: The best game that they've played in months, by far
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: was the Boston game. Why they didn't put up one
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: hundred and thirty points.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: They played defense.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: They played defense.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Defense.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: You have to do.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: That, and they if you're giving up one hundred and
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: twenty five points to a team where I don't know
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: how to pronounce half the guy's names, yeah, that's the
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: problem here.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: But they didn't come. I mean, they didn't go into
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: that game. They didn't go into that game with any
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: intention to play defense. The intention was to win because
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: they knew there was a superior team, and so when
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: you could see that from the get go, there was
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: no no push, no motivation, and just wasn't there.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: They aren't superior to anybody. They can lose to anyone
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: on any given night, especially if that's the effort that
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: they're putting out there.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Some of these guys that got minutes last night for Utah,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know who in the snot they are. I
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: have no idea and maybe.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: You guys are you guys put Vic but vic vic VI, I.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Apologize, Let me let me finish this, and you can
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: just go off on me. It's fine. Part of the reason. Look,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: I don't want to be critical of them because they're
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: they're a winning basketball team. I can't and and they're
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: dealing with the injuries and and believe it or not, yeah,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: p Watt and especially AG huge huge misses out of
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: the lineup. But the reason we're critical VIC is because
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: we have such high expectations and such belief in this club.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I know how good they can be. I've seen it firsthand.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: They know how good they can be. And so to
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: watch them go through the motions on any given night
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: and give up a buck twenty five to Kyle Philipowski,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: it gets frustrating. I don't care if it's a back
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: to back. You're a championship team. You should have a
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: championship mindset every night. I get frustrated with the Abs,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: say I get frustrated with the Avalanche the same way.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Shall let somebody speak.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Okay, go ahead, my bad, go ahead.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: At what point do the leaders of this team take over?
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: At what point does that mindset come in from the
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: leadership on this team.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Well, that's where I don't think that Jokic is beyond
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: criticism here, Like he just hasn't been right, and they
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: take their cues from yokicch and when Yokic is playing
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: a passive game, it feels like the Nuggets play a
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: passive game, like thank God for Jamal Murray last night,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Jamal was the killer without he had to score forty
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: five points to beaut Utah. And that's the issue. And
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: once again we're kind of talking about like there's this
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: balance between what you're missing and what you currently have.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: But when you're playing a game against Utah that they've
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: shelved their top three to four players for the rest
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: of the year, like there was a texture that wrote in, Well,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the Jazz are averaging one hundred and eighteen points per game,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: seventh in the league. You know with Lori Markinen hein'
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: out there, those guys aren't on the floor anymore.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I believe that the next six games will reveal to
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: you what the Nuggets will do this season. And I'm
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: not saying you have to win all six either. I'm
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: not saying you have to win three. I'm not saying
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: you have to win four. I'm just saying how they
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: perform and how they compete in these next six games,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: and how they react.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Here's something else. By the way, you were talking about
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the Yokic getting fronted, and Jokic has gotten really floppy
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: with his STI I mean when he just fell on
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: top of the dude. I forget who the guy was
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: for Utah didn't know who he was. But when he
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: just falls on top of him because the guy is
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: trying to like it wasn't boxing out because it wasn't.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: There wasn't a shot up. I don't know what was
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: going on, but he's being fronted by smaller guys.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Players are If you don't think more players are going
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: to try that, you're fooling yourself. Players, especially guys who
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: have nothing to lose in this league, who are trying
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: to make a name for themselves, you know, bottom of
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: the roster players. They're going to be instructed by their
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: coaches going there and be in that via past and
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: get in his skin. And that's exactly what they're gonna do.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: And the Denver Nuggets are gonna have to figure out
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: how to counter that somehow, some way.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: This is Jokic post game.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Are you seeing teams throw multiple bodies at you in
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the last couple of games.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: I was trying not to force it and try to
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: play the game, and I think it was okay. We
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: did a good job, you know, passing recording. You know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: they're still score on a turning points, so it's a
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: good it's a good night for us.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: See that's the weird thing. We get so focused on,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: like the offensive stuff from the n and the Nuggets score.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: They're one of the better offensive teams in the league.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: It can get a little sticky when the games are
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: close late, and that's a problem. But that's why I'm
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: way more focused on the defensive part because if you
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: can't do that, like I, getting a stop late is
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a necessity, and you don't want to get into this
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: track meet. And it feels like it's been like that
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: over and over again. You know the Golden State game
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: that pissed everybody off. The reason that upset you wasn't
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: because you didn't score. It's because he turned the ball over.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: But you allowed ten straight points in the span of
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: like a minute and a half and the game was over.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Maybe Nicola is using this window as a precursor to
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: the playoffs to get the referees' attention that this is
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: the way it's going to be. I want you guys
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: to all see this work, though, I'm just wondering. I'm
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: just wondering if that's what this is, if that's what's
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: happening right now. Hey, everybody, look, this is what's coming.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I mean they've tried this. I mean most you remember
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: this stuff, don't you. Michael Malone. We go into press
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: conferences during the playoffs and be like, how is he
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: not getting calls? Nothing changed?
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: What? Look what this has done to us? Though? Look
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: at Vic. He doesn't have any answers. He's throwing out
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: questions the way I'm throwing out questions to Vic. I
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: look to you to be the guiding light on all
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: things Nuggets. I couldn't watch last night. I'm doing my
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: own game in LA. But what I see I see
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: a team, Brett that you brought up. It's taking its
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: visual and emotional cues from Nikola Jokic. And if he's frustrated,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: the whole team is frustrated. That's the way it goes. Vic,
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: And you're frustrated. Look at you this morning. Your face,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: even though I was sixteen minutes late, your face has
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: been it's been a little rough to Ga.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: It's in the same way that the team is unselfish
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: because Jokic is unselfish. If Jokic is playing in a
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: frustrated manner so today, if he's not confident late in
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: a game, then so is the rest of the team.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: That's just kind of how it goes. They're taking their
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: cues for them or from him like they always have.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: It's always been that way. So a lot more we
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: can get to in just a little bit. That one
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: final keyword coming up in just a few minutes. Also,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: want to talk about the Avs win last night.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because the Avs were in a tough one. They
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: had everything going against them, and they've persevered. They found
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: a way. There was a while there motion early in
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: that third period when they couldn't keep the puck in
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: the zone. I was like, oh oh boy. Then they
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: turned it around.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: We'll get to it in just a second. Along with
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: the keywords stick around. Your final keyword today is well,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: it's a ticket Tuesday. Should say that first ticket Tuesday,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: chance to win tickets to Minnesota this Sunday afternoon. It
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: is mild, like not hot, mild. So text that in
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: the first last name to three zho three five four
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: nine two five popa Murphy's ten dollars Tuesdays mean every
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: large pizza is only ten bucks final location near you
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: and ordered Popamurphy's dot com. But again, this hour's keyword
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: is mild.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Gonna get to the Avs in a moment because I
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: thought that third period revealed the lot about them. But
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I asked everybody, what would you do differently with the Nuggets?
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: This one came in, and this is somebody who knows basketball. Obviously,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is gonna work, but thirty
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: five ninety six text in starting your two man offense
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: at thirty feet with the best big in the world,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: we has to grind and expend energy just to get
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: within ten feets.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Not good.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Their offensive rebounding suffers because of it. The offense makes
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: it look too easy for the defense also makes it
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: very tough to come from behind. Yes and no. On
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: that yes and no. The Nuggets also have the number
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: one rated offense in the NBA, and they've been number
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: one rated for a while, so it's hard to be
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: critical of an offense that is working.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: They get sticky at late in games sometimes, though, and
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: that is a problem they do. But to the Avs,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and I got some NFL news that we'll get to
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: it a bit. But the aves they win yesterday in
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: a game that mos it felt like another one of
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: those hell like Chicago. They had control of the game,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: they dominated most of it, but they didn't have a
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: scoreboard to prove it, but still found a way to
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: finish at the end.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, the nasty whistle changed the tone of that game.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, taking the Natuiz goal, which was just a tap
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: in because you you in it. I don't know, you say,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: inadvertently or whatever.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: You want to blow it. He meant to blow it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: By the way, even an inadvertent whistle will stop playing. Yeah,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: even if a referee accidentally blows the whistle. I mean
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: he can, actually he can, he can go back and
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: fix that. But he intended to blow that whistle. He did.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: He just thought that it was in what the gut
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: of Forstburg or something like that, or the arm old
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: spice hole.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: He thought he thought he had it pinned, and obviously
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: it was never even pinned. It didn't like leak and
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: fall out. It was just it went behind him and
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: that referee did not have that angle.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, but you take that off the board. Shortly afterwards,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: they tie the game at two to two, and then
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: you're thinking, oh, boy, is that going to be the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: turning point?
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: But then then the Kings had some they had some
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: shots there. Yeah, it was like, oh, there's enough game
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: most where Blackwood. It wasn't like super tested. It's not
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: like you faced forty shots. But he faced twenty one
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: and a lot of them were decent opportunities that he
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: was able to, I mean, do enough to get the dub.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: It was a frustrating game. This whole morning feels frustrating
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: for two teams that won games.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I know, isn't that weird?
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're pissy, Yeah, I think it is us. Brett Well,
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: I think I look back on wins for the Nuggets
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: in the Avs in the past and I go, man,
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: that they they won that game. You move on. I mean,
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: they're the first team to forty wins on the season.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: They've got eighty nine points. They'll be they'll be the
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: first team to ninety points like they have been. They
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: were tied for the first team to ten points. Then
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: the Abs were the first team to twenty thirty, forty, fifty, sixty,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: seventy eighty, and now will be the first team to
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: ninety and here we are moaning this morning about a whistle.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, they sucked it up and got it done.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Great play by McKinnon.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Hey, Jared, Jared bet Yeah, I loved it on both sides.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: He loved everything about the game. Is expect it?
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe we expected to come easy. You tell me,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: do you expect the defense to come easy, for the
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Nuggets and buckets to just flow in? You tell me
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: I didn't.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't feel I don't feel remotely close to the
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: same feelings between those games. Like I was mad at
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets. I was fine with the Avs. I thought
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: they played well. Again, it was just one of those
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: like they didn't have the the the scoreboard didn't prove
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: what I thought the game felt like.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I agree. I don't think we're nobody's upset at the
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: way the Avs won.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: They No, I thought they played fine.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: No, But but they passed up vic. Have you ever
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: seen a guy pass up a wide open three and
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: you're going, why are you doing that?
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Happens all the time.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Well they're passing up shots at times now. They
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: didn't get a chance to work on the power play
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: last night because they didn't get one until thirty five
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: seconds left in the game and they scored on it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: So now mark that one down. I'm gonna take it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: But it's you're making the game too hard on yourself.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: You're a good team, you play a good structure, you
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: play hard, you play smart, but you overthink it sometimes
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: that's what's happening.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: The big thing here is that the Avs got what
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: you were hoping for. Like we just were talking about
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: this yesterday that McKinnon felt like he was a little
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: bits gears were grinding just a little bit, and seeing
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: him go out and do what he did last night,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: which is bury that goal. That was a beautiful play
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: by the way to Taves to close out. That was
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: the game winner, right, the game winning goal. I thought
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: your top dogs played really well, which obviously needs to happen.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: They've been carried a little bit late before that Olympic
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: break by some other guys stepping up, but you need
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: them to play at their peak, and it looked like
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: McKinnon was back in full form. Gabe gets one on
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: the board. I know that it was an empty netter
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: for Natus, but that's just karma for what should have
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: been a goal earlier in the game. So love to
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: see that.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, Hey whispers about the trade deadline Friday, if you
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: heard anything else that has emerged, we got three days
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: here now.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Breaking Avalanche Bant Bress on the road will be at
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: the Ducks game tomorrow night as the FS take on
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: the Ducks.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Most I keep seeing these podcasts, these NHL podcasts talking
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: about there's things trending between the Flames and the Avs.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: On Cadre Talk.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Dude, you could say that about a fifty teams.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: It comes from a psych called bro Bob by a
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: guy named Slice brit.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: We'll see. I think they're going to do at least something.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, it feels like.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Twenty seven million. They're gonna do something with it.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: When you see that, Dallas and Minnesota are also poised.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: These are the three best teams in the league. Boys,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: they really are right now. I mean, I know that
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Tampa is having a wonderful year as well, but compare
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: the compare the Pacific to your Central Division, VIC, I mean,
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: it's like compare compare the Nuggets Division to you know,
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: either division out east. You're like this, this thing's just
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: a murderer's row. That's what's going on right now. So
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: if they're gonna do a deal and you've already done
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: a deal, you got Kulak, who's been terrific on the
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: back end, then you've got to do something or seemingly
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: that would be the ideal.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: That's why it's so important to win this damn division.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: To let miny in Dallas beat up on each other
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: come playoff time, let them handle it. You don't want
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: to be embroiled in that. Just don't even mess with it.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: That's why, Man, what is six points or five points?
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: It separates six Dallas with a game in hand.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Well, and they won. They won yesterday straight game. Yeah,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: they won six to one in Vancouver.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: This is exactly like last year, except you were in
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: third and not first, where the AFS are starting to
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: win down the stretch and you couldn't make up any
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: ground because was it Winnipeg in Dallas kept winning and
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you just couldn't find a way to jump. They got
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: to be so frustrated that they're still stuck behind the
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: ABS despite like winning nine in a row and you're
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: six points back with a game in hand. It's gotta
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: be frustrating.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I don't like coach. That's good after the game when
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: referencing Lecky's injury, I hate you know again. It's the
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: equivalent of the Nuggets and reevaluate in four to six weeks.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: When asked about the status of Lecky moving forward, he said,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: he's gonna miss some time. That's that's ugly to hear
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: those words miss some time because I don't know what
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: some time is.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Sometime is vague and probably because they don't know, you know,
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: probably because you don't. This is not where. Okay, he's
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: on LTI R you use his money. He's not coming
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: back for the postseason. He'll be back, it's just a
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: matter of when. And every team's dealing with some of
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: that right now. Everybody's got somebody who's banged up in
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: some regard. Don't get to late February and have a
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: team that's completely just feeling great. You wake up in
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: the morning, your your toes are tapping, your face doesn't
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: look like ten pounds of meat have been banging on
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: it all night. No, no, no team, no team is
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: going through that. Even the worst teams are not going
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: through that. Right now, everybody's got something because the schedule
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: is so packed.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: The Olympic break has caused this, right I just hope
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: it doesn't lead to things that can affect the outcome
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: of the season.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I hope that the injury bug doesn't start hitting everybody
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: because of the jam pack schedule, because it is packed.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, look at look at the as schedule.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: The APS also like there were some teams that going
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: into the Olympic break mode most played like four more
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: games in the Aves, which seems like a really weird
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: thing for that late in the year to have that
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: separation seems dumb. But tonight, Aves in Ducks shot.
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: It's the Johnsonado Plaza's cheese to the Game. Johnsonata experienced
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: the power of the Plaza when they had the Keys
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: to Performance in Style with Ram Jeep, Chevy, Pwick and
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: GMC and a huge selection of Houston all in one place.
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: Here's Mo Sher Lombardi and Keith.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Haves and Ducks eight o'clock right here out to dud
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety two five Keys to the Game modes.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: This ain't no joke. Look at me. I've got my
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: pillow gripping my pull throught. It's very simple, the Ducks.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: It's been ten straight games the AVS opponents have taken
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: fewer penalties in the Abs ten straight games for a
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: team that was the number one penalty drawing team in
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: the league for like four years in a row. This
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: is crazy or one of the top two teams. Anyway,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: If the Ducks take fewer penalties, they are awesome. They
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: let me see if I can find that number. But
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: about bu bu bup buh. They've got like twenty wins
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: when they take fewer penalties. The Abs have twenty wins
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: when they take fewer penalties. They're just both really, really
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: good when they stay out of the box. So take
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: fewer penalties. And the Ducks also. Anaheim has won five
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: in a row. Overall, they're eight two and zero in
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: their last ten, and they're a number. They're the number
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: two spot behind Vegas. They're trying to track down Vegas
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: to win the Pacific.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: They've won twelve of their last fourteen.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Stay out of the box. The Ducks are scoring more
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: goals than you. They're giving up almost as few goals
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: per game. As you stay out of the box, simple,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: you can win the game.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Jeez of the Game powered by Johnson Autoplase. He gets
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: election service and incredible savings on Ramjeep, Chevy Buick and
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: gmc all at one location Experience Power the Plaza at
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Johnson Autoplaza. So some news breaking. We were disappointed yesterday
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: when we saw that the Houston Texans traded for David Montgomery.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Felt like it could be a good fit here. So
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: your next one's like, oh, well, how about Brice Hall.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Franchise tagged fourteen point two million, the franchise tag. It
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean he'll do it for the franchise tag. It
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: just means he's gonna give him more time to negotiate
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: a contract, hammer one out. It just shows you that
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: the Jets are doing everything they can to keep Breese Hall,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: but he is forced to play on that if they
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: don't come to a deal. Yeah, but I mean a
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: lot of times they just do it to buy them
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: more time.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Correct. So at this point, fourteen point two nine to
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: three million dollars for Breese Shaw, So that dream of
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: him being in the backfield for the Broncos seems to
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: be off the table now too. And then it comes
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: to what's left and the answer is not a lot.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Not a lot.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: So if they are going to look to upgrade that room,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: it's gonna have to come via a trade or another
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: drafted running back in April.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Well, JK wants back? Does he not? Well?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I think he's on a two year deal.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think if you do bring him back,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: and I have no issues at all, I love the dude,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: you still got to add another one just in case
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: because of his injury history.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Would you agree one year deal? You have to, yes,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: And that's why I think that they're looking at that
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: position as a must for that case around.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, what if I told you this, What if I
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: gave you this option? Bronco fans, would you be okay
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: with this? Would you be okay with bringing RJ. Harvey back,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: bringing JK Dobbins back on whatever deal you want, and
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: then drafting and running back.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: That's fine. I have one concern. We're very worried about JK.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Dobbins and his health. I think if he comes back again,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: he was on pace for like a thirteen hundred yard
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: rushing season, which hasn't been seeing these parts for man
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: two decades. I'm fine with JK, but you can't trust
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: his health and they are very gung ho about adding
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: somebody else in that room. Does that say anything about RJ.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Harvey?
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Does that say a level of or I guess a
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: lack of confidence in what they think he's going to
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: be this year.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean, but but we've known this all
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: along that they need another guy. You can, you can
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: overpay for Kenneth Walker because he's gonna get overpaid now
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: after his Super Bowl performance.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Well, and I'm telling you fourteen million dollars. I know
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: it's a franchise tag. Fourteen million for running back is
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of cash. I think the value is
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: going out.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: You don't hire Davis Web and keep him around to
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: be your offensive coordinator if you don't think the game
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: the same way or very similarly. I'm sure that what
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton heard out of Davis Web and what his
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: ideas what Sean Payton's offense are going to be was
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: probably very palatable. That being said, could he do something
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: different with Dobbins and Harvey? Could he utilize them differently
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: in terms of touches per game? I don't know. I
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: don't know what's going on in his head. Sean Payton
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: seems to think that they need another guy. What does
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Davis Web think? We haven't heard that yet. These are
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: his guys. Bick then then he's going to have to
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: find a way to get the most out of them.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at the draft and I'm looking at the
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: top running backs available in the draft because I really
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: believe that they can supplement if they bring JK back.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I love that idea, bring him back, but getting insurance
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: policy in the draft you have to have that. So
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at the top picks in the draft that
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: are running backs. You're not going to get Jeremiah Love,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: He's going to go top ten. Singleton from Penn Stage
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: is up there. Mike Washington, he's that speedster from Arkansas.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: What do you run at the combine?
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Ran like a four to three something?
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you know about Emma Johnson from Nebraska there?
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I thought he was look in the few times I
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: watched them because they were terrible, But I probably me
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: a good husband, watch my wife with my wife. I
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: thought he was really good actually, and he is sort
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: of a bowling ball type. He'll run between the tackles. Now,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: he's not like high draft capital guy, but he's serviceable.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: I'll give you the scouting reporter on Jendarian Price for
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame Louse, currently the fifth ranked running back coming
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: in this season. I love him. He's got a motor,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: he gets to the outside, he can return kicks, he
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: can do a little bit of everything. Now he wasn't
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: the featured back. Doesn't mean he's not capable. That's my
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: scanty report on him. Of course I'm totally biased. There
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: are other dudes that are available, but I wouldn't mind
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: that one bit rather than totally overpay. Re sign JK. Dobbins.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: So you've got your your safety blanket there, right. You
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: got the guy that you've proven he can and if
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: he gets hurt, make sure that you get a rookie
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: that you're molding you.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Here's one thing you can overpay. I don't have a
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: problem with overpaying right now, but you still but.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: You still have other positions. You have to fill your
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: linebacker positions.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: But what is overpaying I guess for a running back.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Like I guess over committeing. I don't mind short deals,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: short fine, I'm saying long term deals.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm on board of that. But if you give me,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: like look, if you give me Kenneth Walker and he's
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: got his own sort of injury troubles, it's one thing
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: that weirds me out about him. He's always dinged up
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: with something, but you give me like a three year
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: deal with twenty million guaranteed? Cool? Is that an overpay? Probably?
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: But you need it, You need somebody like that. I'm
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: not anti overpaying right now. You are in position to
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: do that because you are a Super Bowl contender with
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: a quarterback on a rookie contract. Now's your time. It's
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: a lot more concerning when you get into the territory
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: of where some teams find themselves, which is I'm paying
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: my quarterback sixty million dollars and we're winning nine games
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: a year. That's where overpaying can't happen. But you're in
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: great position right now, like elite position, to make moves
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: like this, so I love it. One last reminder, keyword
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: for this hour is mild, like not hot, mild. Seeing
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: people text in mile milt. Mild is the keyword in
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: your first and last name of three zero, three five
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: four nine two five. Will announce the winner at nine
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: fifty five. Stick around. It's ten dollars Tuesday at Papa
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Murphy's any large pizza just ten bucks. Find a location
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: close to you, or order online at Papa Murphy's dot com.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: So we have our ticket. Tuesday will announced the winner
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: at the end of the show.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: I can't stop looking at I've seen this about one
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty times Joker on Keyante George's back last night,
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: and I just don't know what to do with that.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: It's a little ridiculous.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know how to process this because half the
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: world is saying, look at Joker flopping again. The other
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: half saying, what do you expect him to do? This
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: guy's wrapped all around his legs. But I don't know
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: what to do with this.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I'm more in the camp of.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: That looks silly all around. For the game, right for
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I'm it's just like Joker is, he can't do That's
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying, can't do what that is just showing
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: to me, Like there's one thing about sports that I
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: do think is important, Like you can't show that you're frustrated,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: because that is something that teams can take advantage of.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: It's one of the like, yeah, now you can go
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: ahead and pull it up like this this can't happen,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Or you're just giving the guy a piggyback ride because
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: you're you're mad about how he's defending you, or something
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: like that. Like I just I don't like that.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I think it shows like, so what let me again,
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: I'm playing devil's advocate. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing. What
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: would you rather he do?
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: There?
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Well, he's away from the play again. This looks like
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: he's boxing out for a shot that the Nuggets can't
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: put up a shot. They turned the ball over. They're
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: just trying to run their offense, like, get go around
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: the guy, try and get somewhere else. I mean, you
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: can't just vic.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: He's trying to prove a point, is what he's trying
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Right, The point's never gonna be proven. Nobody's gonna take
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: it seriously. It's been like that his entire career. Like
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: he's just he's not gonna get that call. And so
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: you got two options. You can get frustrated or figure
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: something else out.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: So the way guys are going to defend Nikola Jokis
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: moving forward is take a small guy and just frustrate
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: the living crap out of him. Yeah, and and this
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: is why mode you've been You've been frustrated by a
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: small guy on this show for years. How do you
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: get around that? Who do you think I am?
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: I think I am? I don't talk. That's how I
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: get around it.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: You become mute.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you just ignore it. I just post up.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: That's what I do.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: No, but do do you understand what I'm talking about?
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: How when you watch this and you say, well, this
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: is this is how guys are going to start defending
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: him now, it's because they see it frustrates him.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: But that's part of the That's part of what comes
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: with being the best player on the play or one
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: of the best players, depending on how you look at it.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: And that is Look, your team is going to look
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: to you for the visual cues, the emotional cues, all
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: of that sort of thing. They're gonna look to you
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: at the same time. You It may be frustrating as
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: all get out, I think for nicolea Jokic, but you've
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: got to you've got to not prove points. You've just
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: got to keep playing the game, you know, And he's
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: done a great job of that over the years. He
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: really has settled down in his complaining to the referees.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: But that that was silly.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: You can all agree, we do things.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Coach Chavelman going to be on with PhD again, I
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: don't know, can you look into that Nelly, because I am.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: I wish for them to ask that question, what, as
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: a coaching staff, what counter move will they have in
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: place or plan to do when more teams employ that tactic.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: I'm just curious, So, Nelly, you'll look that up.
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: I have.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: This is a little bit old, but if you go
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: back to the Nuggets in te Wolves game. After the game,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Anthony Davis was being interviewed and there's a clip of
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: him where he was discussing if he was frustrated by
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: the way that the Nuggets were sending two guys out
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: of them all game, and he gave an answer. The
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: answer is not important, but there's something that happened afterwards
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: that everybody's applauding this guy for and I don't really
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: get it. You're gonna have to explain this one to me.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: So the ESPN assignment desk that has to get permission
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: from these people to use their clips on ESPN's channels, right,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: they said, this is Dane Moore, who had the audio
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: from Anthony Edwards said Hi, Dane, please see your DMS
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: for a message from us, which is saying, hey, do
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: you mind if we use your stuff? And he said,
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: you do not have permission to use it. As I've
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: told you numerous times in DMS, shouldn't have laid off
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: all those reporters if you wanted locker room content. And
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: everybody is like applauding this guy for that rec Can
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I say something? The twenty three year old chick that
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: sent you the DM just trying to do her job?
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Is that are you owning her.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: By doing that? You got them?
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, got them, really stuck it to him.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Then I thought the same way. Listen, man, companies or
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: companies they're gonna hire and fire. I don't know what
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: what you just proved by doing that holier than now?
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Crap?
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah whatever.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I don't get it either.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: It's just for the applause.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: See that's things I hate when people do things just
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: so they can get an add.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Of boy or you mean virtue signal? Is that what
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: that is?
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know what that means, the definition of I
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: hate that stuff. Oh yeah, you're such a way to
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: be a good person or whatever.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I raged against the machine, right, you stuck it.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: To the man.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're so heroic. Good for you.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: It drives me nuts.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: But you're so right.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: What's ironic about all that? He just says, I'm not
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: gonna give it to you because you fired all those people. Well,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: the person that's in charge of DM and you is
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: probably a fresh out of college just doing his or
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: her job, trying to.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Help out fifteen bucks an hour.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Now they're going to get fired.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I just tried to do something.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: It's in my job.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: I need to ask for this stuff.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Um hey just quickly here.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: This from.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Talking Baseball on Twitter. The Cardinals, mos Your's favorite team,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: are introducing a ticket package starting at twenty nine dollars. Okay,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: it includes bottomless soda, hot dogs, chicken tenders, brought worst nachos, fries, popcorn, peanuts, chips,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: and ice cream for twenty nine bucks. Is an absolute steal.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: It's impossible.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: What's impossible.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: That's impossible. I don't believe you.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Unlimited concessions is what they said.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: No for twenty nine bucks.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Twenty nine bucks.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: I could eat my way through that in two innings.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Easy, That's what I'm saying. Like, if you, if you
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: do this, these are your meals?
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Can I have three to go?
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Hot talks? Define?
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Define defined? Bottomless? Do you have to eat it
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: at the counter in one sitting? Before you pay. I mean,
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: what define bottomless? Can I keep going back inning after
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: inning and getting a dog in a nachos and whatever?
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: Or is it like, well, our bottomless is what a
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: five year old would eat, you know, over the course
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: of ten seconds.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, man, that's I mean. Look, I'm
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: just reading what's been sent out there, and if that's
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: the case, I I love it.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: That's why I'm not a fan like most. You've played
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: in these member guests for golf tournaments, right, and one
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: of the appeals that these member guests is unlimited drinks.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: I don't drink one eighth what most guys do. They
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: take more advantage of it than I do. I'm paying
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: for them to drink. That's not fair.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I'll get your money's worth invite me out to.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: I don't like it.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: It's inequitable for me.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: Do you remember my reception both of you? Oh yeah,
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: that was good.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Thank you for that, Thank you for not charging. It's
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: very nice.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Me before you give yourself too hearty of a pat
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: on the back here, this is what happens at weddings.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: If you have a good wedding, you pay for an
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: open bar.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: I haven't finished my thought yet. I completely agree. I
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: don't disagree with anything you've said, Brett. I'm calm happy.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: What I am saying is that some guys can hold
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: more than others. Okay, and that was evident that reception
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: night when at the end the guy goes.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: We are out, who are the worst defenders?
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Who abused that riker was at the bar the entire one.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: I don't think anybody abuse it. I just think people
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: enjoyed it. I don't know, but but I can see
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: where the cardinals this. Unless there's a unless there's a
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: governor on this bottomless food thing, okay, unless there's a
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: throttle down mechanism involved in the twenty nine dollars ticket,
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: they are going to be fleeced. Or maybe they're saying,
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: you know what, if we give these dudes enough free
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: nachos and dogs, they're gonna buy eight hundred bucks worth
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: of beer because we ain't giving away free beer.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: That was package.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's gotta be some sort of catch, Brad.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: But how do you how do you like what if
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I said, Hey, I got to catch I get this
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: bottomless concession thing, and then I end up getting twelve
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: hot dogs and I give away eight of them? How
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: would they know?
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, see, that's not happening. That's that's that's my point
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: is that there's the some sort of throttle down involved
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: in it. There has to be, I like the idea
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: of eighty seven peanut bags and fifty two nachos. Hey,
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: everybody gather around me about the bottomless pit.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: What do they call those? Those people that follow around
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: celebrities that like their no no, no no, that are
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: that are like their their personal assistant caretakers entourage. Is
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: like Britney Spears had one of these what do they
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: call them?
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: Conservatorship?
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Conservators? Yes, you need to have a conservator that follows
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: you around everywhere, make sure you're not doing anything too crazy.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: All right? You you went through all of that to
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: get conservatorship.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was trying to find the word.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hammer shark, hammer shark.
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: One last thing here before you get throw a winner and.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Fact checker Zach Stevens of d n v R has
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: heard the Broncos already make a push to keep Alex Singleton,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: but here's what he also said. There might not be
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: a bigger discrepancy between what a fan base believes a
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: player will get and what the NFL believes a player
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: will get in free agency than Alex Singleton. An NFL circle,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Singleton is expected to not only be highly sought after,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: but receive a raise from his previous six million dollar salary.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: And I've seen this constantly. A lot of people treat
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Alex Singleton like he is a replaceable level linebacker. I
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: think he's better than that. Like, I don't get why
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: people have this this sort of hang up with Alex Singleton.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: He's a good player and like, ah, yeah, we can
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: used to get rid of Ham, get somebody else in him, Like.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: It's not that easy.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: So what's the issue here that people in Denver, Oh,
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: he's just.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Another one of your long lines of put him in
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: the Sam Gerard Michael Porter junior category of guys that
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: aren't Yeah Brett.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: Is it possible that because they won without his tackles
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: the lineup that people feel that way, he is that possible? Yeah?
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: They They also won without you know, JK. Dobbins for
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: a while, but he was pretty important miss time and
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: they won games. I mean, everybody's been in that category.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: They were good last year. The great thing about being
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: good you can lose some guys in stolen games. Nelly
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: said he needed some runway for this fact checker. Go ahead,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Oh and the winner first, Sorry, my man, winner are

  Speaker 2: It's the Italian Hostey Player fact.
• 42:43
  Speaker 7: Checker, presented by macchus and Shanker, serious lawyers for the
• 42:48
  Speaker 7: serious lee injured.
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: Hey, some of us have generic witness protection signing names. Man,
• 42:52
  Speaker 8: nothing wrong with Steve Nelson moje on today, of all days,
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: it pains me to give you credit for getting anything right.
• 42:59
  Speaker 8: But yesterday you mentioned that you did payoff a bet
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: you said you would do during the AVS Blackhawks broadcast
• 43:08
  Speaker 8: on Saturday. And here's the proof.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: Dude, he's got no chance.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: That's just the skill. Sure it feels like they need it.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: Oliver More a tripping penalties riker would say, Oh no,
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: he's gotta go to his fedroom two minutes for being bad.
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: See you actually worked it.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: In most congratulations, you actually dropped when you said being bad.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: It had a news reporter sound to it.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: But you. Oh no, he's gotta go to his fdroom
