  Speaker 1: be So are lead this hours from the pro bouncy
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Ball playoffs will start at skid Row. Think of La,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you think of Hollywood, you think of glitz and glamour.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: The Lakers play on skid roll? How appropriate is that?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: A total dump down there in downtown La. Anthony Edwards
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and the Timberwolves looking to take a two to zero lead,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: win another game on the road and take pretty much
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: complete control of Hukah. Luca and the Lakers. And I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: don't know if you're watching this game or not, maybe
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: maybe not, but Luca he had a good stat line,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a little misleading thirty one points, twelve rebounds, and nine assists.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And the Lakers there was anything they did. The Minnesota
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: team came out sluggish and the first round series now
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: even up. As it was a game that should not
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: have been that close, and Minnesota played one of the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: worst games, and yet they still ended up only losing
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: by nine points in this game. In Game two, Lebron
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a non impressive twenty one points. Austin reeves at sixteen
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: for the Lakers, who won a chippy chippy game here
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: in game two. So let us discuss the question, how
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: do you explain the juxtaposition for the Timberwolves between game
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: one and game number two. So I've got lowercase wheel
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of fortune and the ruminators, and we will combine all
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of these things together, and we're gonna make a big
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: bucket of buttered popcorn, is what We're gonna make, Just
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a big giant bucket of a buttered popcorn. So a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Minnesota had a great opportunity, like they were given a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: cash cow. And as long as you keep the cash
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: cow alive and you give the cash cow plenty of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: food and make sure it's out of the elements, you're
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: gonna make a lot of money because the cash cow
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: is just gonna keep giving cash. And they got the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: cash cow and they took it right to the butcher shop.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: They said, here, let's drop it off right at the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: butcher shop and we'll make some ground beef out of
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the cow. We're gonna take the cow, the cash cow,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna just drop it off right there at
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the butcher and that's what they did here Mayett. Maybe
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: they were stuck in traffic. Maybe that was it. The
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: rush hour traffic there, gridlock and whatnot. It was a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: very messy first quarter for Minnesota, and I think for
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: most NBA fans it was disappointing. I an't want wants
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the Lakers to win. Minnesota really the people's team in
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this series here. But Anthony Edwards, who was fined fifty
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars, but yet in this game for comments he
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: made that were recorded on a granny cell phone. But
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards did not play with that big D energy.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: This was more lowercase D from Anthony Edwards in the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: beginning of the game. And he was the word I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: will use is bedraggled at the start of the game,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: mostly on the defensive set. It wasn't just just him,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: but he's the two hundred million dollar player. He likes
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to tell you about that, he loves to tell how
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: big Johnson is. And yet he went out there and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: was very small early in the game. And it was
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a Mattador performance early on oah hoa a Matador defense
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: had a minus nineteen while he was on the court
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in the first quarter. Now, I didn't play in the NBA.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's good. I just do an overnight show.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's particularly good. Talk about setting the tone.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It was a slack job, slack job performance. Minnesota was
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: lumbering the entire night for the most part. I mean,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: there were a couple of stretches halfway decent, but it
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: was mostly a lumbering performance by the Timberwolves. Here they
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: failed to capitalize on yet again, was a lot of
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: wide open looks. I mean, this is this is pretty crazy.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: An NBA team in the playoffs is getting this many
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: wide open opportunities as the Lakers just are not a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: good defensive team, and they've seen we've seen that now
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in the first two games of the plass was a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: feeble effort by Minnesota offensively considering how many open shots
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: they had. Now turning the page number of you have
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: pointed out to me via social media and email, you've
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: said it's all over now the Lakers have turned things on.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: So have Hookah Lucas Lakers flipped the switch? Have they
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: flipped the switch? Now? They won Game two at home
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and all that, And so when you do a cross
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a cross benefit analysis, and you look at everything here.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna use the wheel of fortune and I'm gonna
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have an end. Can I buy an Oh?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Can I buy? I have an end? Can I buy
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: an Oh? That would be a no. No would be
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the answer, because when you look around here, you knew
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the Lakers were going to come out and play with
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: more gusto. Right they were. They were panted in game one,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: absolutely embarrassed, looked like they didn't even belong in the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: playoffs in game one. So they came out they had
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: more intensity and all that so fine. Okay, that lasted
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a quarter, but that was enough. The Lakers jumped out.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: They had a twenty two point lead at the beginning
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: of this game. Here Luca sixteen points early on, and
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: that was mostly taking advantage of multi time defensive player
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: of the Year who becomes off of the liability in
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the playoffs in Rudy Gobert. But yet when things calm down,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I was not impressed. I mean, I don't know that
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: anyone that knows ball thinks the Lakers looked all that good.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: So I don't know how you can take that as
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a quality performance by the Lakers. The finger biting time
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: has arrived in La La, La La Land. You look around.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I would argue that's a bad win for the Lakers
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: because it gives them false confidence to think that they've
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: somehow fixed something when they haven't. They haven't fixed anything.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Minnesota was frazzled on offense. It was not a case
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: where they were frazzled because of shut down defense by
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the Lakers. Keep in mind, the Lakers have only really
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: played well in the first quarter of both games. Outside
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of that, Minnesota has dominated the rest of the game,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and even in Game two. Even in Game two, Minnesota
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and we talked about it, we've documented it here. They
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: came out, they sold their pants in the beginning of
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the game there and just dreadful. And yet despite all
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: those wide open mishots by the ten rules, they still
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: were within nine points midway through the fourth quarter. How
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: emasculating is that for the Lakers. Minnesota played one of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the worst games and they were within nine points, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the Lakers have some explaining to do on their offense.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: You look around here, Now, what is my supporting evidence
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to back that claim up that the Lakers this is
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: a misleading win. This is a it's a bad win
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: because it gives the Lakers false confidence, which is actually
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: good for Minnesota, and people want to see the Lakers lose,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: which I think most people do. The Lakers over the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: final thirty six minutes as a team shot forty one
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: percent for the last three quarters of this game, and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: they shot eleven percent. I had to double check my
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: malor math on that. I thought maybe high had f
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that up. They attempted eighteen to three point shots from
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the second quarter to the end of the game, and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: they made two of them. I didn't even know that
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: was possible. They were two of eighteen. It's eleven point
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: one percent over the final thirty six minutes. But wait,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: there's more. Luca shot thirty eight percent over the rest
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: of the game and Lebron was at thirty seven percent.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So Minnesota's defense when I'm trying to tell you, it's
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a very worthy way of saying that Minnesota's defense was
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: on point. The issues they had were early on. They
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: just were not quite there to start there. And despite
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Luca and Lebron, the Wolves. They get the headline there,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: but the Wolves boxed up the Lakers. There was a
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: seven minute, seven minute drought where the Lakers didn't score
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a field goal. Seven minutes. They went seven minutes in
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the fourth court at home in a playoff game. Holy crap,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: they blow seven minutes at home against Minnesota with outscoring
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a field goal. And I know you're not supposed to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: say this part because you know it's protected interest in
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: all it, anyone else think Lebron James is cooked. Lebron
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: through two games of this series right now, in this moment,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: looks absolutely old man, old man Lebron. He's taken now
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: thirty seven shots in the first two games to score
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: forty points. Thirty seven shots to score forty points. That's Lebron,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that's old man Lebron. Well, I guess he's got to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: get some of that that good stuff, you know what
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. I mean, as you got whatever magic Pixie does,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Lebron can get his hands on. That ain't gonna get
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: it done. That is not gonna get it done. Thirty
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: seven shots for forty points. The Lakers are not winning
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: this series. If that is how this is going to go,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: They're doomed. It's over all right now, last words, So
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: what do you expect looking at this again wide angle
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: lens here, what do you expect going forward? As we're
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: one one is the best of five series. Minnesota has
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: home court advantage now and so they'll go back to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the twin season. A couple of days in this series
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: will continue in the Wolves. As long as they just
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: win at home, they'll win the series in advance to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the second round of the playoffs. So here's what I expect.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I expect. The extended dance remix is what I expect.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: We do know that the league would like the Lakers
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to win. Television would like the Lakers to win because
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of dumb people that like the Lakers
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and low information fans, so they want the Lakers to win.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And so if it's going to be called fair, everything
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: is on the up and up. Minnesota should win. Do
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I think that's going to happen. I'd be surprised. I'd
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: be surprised. And it also comes down to the rather
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: manic behavior of the Timberwolves here. It's like the Room
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and the Tune Mister Bubbles, because the Minnesota Timberwolves are
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: not in the bubble of trust. They are the more
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: talented team from top to bottom than the Lakers. Most
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: people would agree with that. Lebron's old Luca doesn't play defense,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: so they've got more talent, but you don't trust them.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: You don't trust them to perform there. They're a bipolar team.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: There's extreme highs, extreme lows. But the fact that they've
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: been able to completely lock down the Lakers and hold
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: them to ninety five and ninety four points on their
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: own court, on their own court through the first two games.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: And we know that generally speaking, the role players perform
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: much better when they are at home, so that bodes
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: well for Minnesota. Guys like well Nasried actually played well,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and some of these other guys did play well in
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: game one, but I did not play well in game two.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: And Dante Ncenzo, yeah, you also another guy you circle there.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: So going back to Minnesota, those guys should all play
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: better at home. And you got ron looking old Lakers
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: really only playing well one quarter each game. This is
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: looking pretty good for Minnesota. They've already done what they
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: wanted to do, which was still one game in LA.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Now they just have to win the games at home.
• 13:13

• 14:41
  Speaker 1: pro Bouncy Ball. We'll get back to the Lakers and
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the Timberwolves. Bad win for the Lakers. Talk more about
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: that later, but our lead this hour from the Eastern
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Conference side of the bracket. The early game. This was
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the game that where the Dunce cap. It was on
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: NBA TV, which is where you do not want to be.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: You don't want to be on NBA TV. That's the Hey,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: you're the ugly, redheaded stepchild of the playoff schedule. We'll
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: put your game on there. So it was opening around action.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: We'll start out in Indianapolis where Dame Lillard, Dame Time,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: all those big shots with the Trailblazers back in the day.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: So Dame Lillard returning to the Bucks and they were
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: looking to even things up in Game two and steal
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: home court advantage away from the Pacers. So not sure
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: if you were a witness to this, let me tell
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: you something. I care about you. Okay, I could have
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: gone out and done stuff. I could have had a life.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I sat on my ass. I risked getting hemorrhoids to
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: watch all these stupid games. Here we are, all right.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: So Pascal Siakam, who as long as he plays, I
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: will smile when I hear the man's name. And if
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you're a real p one of this show, you know
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: why we love Pascal Siakam. It's our friend Marcel and Brooklyn.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: But anyway, Pascal Siakam, I make sure I say that right.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Twenty four points, eleven rebounds and a crucial three pointer
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: in the late stages of that game, and that was
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the thing that sparked that final flurry, if you will,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: for the Pacers, while Tyrese Halliburton more on him in
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a minute, twenty one points, twelve assists as Indiana gets
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: past Milwaukee won twenty three to one fifteen the final.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: The Pacers are now just two wins away from ousting
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the Bucks and doing that again. If you've seen this before,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you have, you're not imagining that you have seen this before.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Indiana has now won five of the last six playoff
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: games between these teams, and they led this one wired
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to wire from zero zero to end of game, from
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: beginning to end, the whole thing there. Now the better story.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: You know where the better story is. That's right, the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: losing locker room. So that is where we go. Better story.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: So let's discuss who do you blame for the Greek
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: freaks Bucks digging a giant hole in this series with
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the Pacers. Who you blame who you blame. So I've
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: got jukebox, headliner, and rubber ducky, and we will combine
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: make cotton candy, which is what the Milwaukee Bucks defense
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: was like cotton candy in this particular game. So numb burn.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Can I get a numb burn? A lot of blame
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: cheese curds to go around. And it's not so bad
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: when you play Milwaukee and you lose, because cheese curds
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: are delicious. So a lot of blame cheese curds. Now,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: this Milwaukee team was man handled in the early part
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: of the game. They were absolutely manhandle Now they got
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: back into the game, but they never fully recovered. Similar
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: to what happened in that Laker Minnesota game. Similar situation,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: like the Lakers came out, jumped out, and Minnesota didn't
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: play all that well, yet they worked their way back
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: in Milwaukee didn't play all that well. They were better
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: offensively and they worked their way back into the game,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: but for the most part, the defensive side of things
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: bad to the bone. Bad to the bone. And if
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: you were to crank up the jukebox, which some places
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: still have, you don't really need it now because you
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: got that on your phone. But if you crank up
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the old music box there, the pure rock tune would
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: be Robert Palmer's back in the day, Doctor, Doctor, give
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: me the news. They got a bad case of loving
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: hating you, and that would be Doc Rivers. What up, Doc? Yeah? Oh,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: it's so great. The fact that Doc Rivers has been
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: able to bounce around the NBA as a carpetbagger is
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: wild considering how terrible his teams perform in the playoffs.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: The most improbable championship of my lifetime. A lot of
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: people say it's the Detroit Pistons when they didn't have
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: a superstar and they beat the Lakers in the NBA
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Finals back in the early two thousands. No, the Doc
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Rivers coached Celtics that Paul Pierce and Ray Allen and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Garnett and those guys could win with this dead rate,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: this absolute deadweight. Doc Rivers on the sidelines is fascinating.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: And Doc is a maestro of strategic missteps in the playoffs,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and yet again we saw Milwaukee was dazed and confused.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Doc is the seasoned, veteran coach who's supposed to have
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: all the answers he had none, He had none, right,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: no way to control that. The Pacers coming out, you
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: know how they're gonna play, Eve and I who never
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: played in the NBA and just sit here behind microphones
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and criticize people. I knew how the Pacers were going
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: to play, fast paced, in your face and transition offense.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: All of that right, and the transitioned offense the whole
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the whole bang and Indiana capitalizing on the sleepy D,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the sleepy D of Milwaukee. Doc Rivers rotations now they
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: always blow and I know this first hand as Doc
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Rivers killed the Great Lob City Clippers, most exciting team,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: most popular team in the NBA, they didn't win, and
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: there are multiple reasons to Chris Paul joke artist Blake
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Griffin didn't come up big in big games with Doc
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Rivers the common denominator in those teams and really most
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of the teams that blow it. So Doc's rotations have
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: always been an issue, and what he has always been
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: consistent about he falls in love with certain players who
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: are his favorites, like the teacher's pet. You know you're
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: in school, right you at that one little useless little
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: girl annoying girl that sucks up to the teacher and
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: very annoy Everyone hated her anyway, so that teacher's pet.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: In basketball with Doc Rivers, there's a certain starters. They're
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: not playing well, they're underperforming, but yet Doc likes them.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: So Doc continues to leave them in. He insists on
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: giving them a high volume of minutes and does not
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: give other people the opportunity. Who are in this in
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: this is you look around here, players that you leave
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: on the bench, who do you play? Is it you know,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: like Kevin Porter Junior, Bobby Portous, Guys like that you
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: can mix in. And as for the other blame factors
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: in this game for the Milwaukee Bucks, he got Dame
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Lillard who did return from a blood caught issue. And
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Dame time was not game time. No, he was not.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: This was not vintage Damian Lillard. He was forcing tough shots,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: even the Greek freak who did have good sexy stats.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: If you're just a box score reader and you're just
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: observing the box score like you're looking at out in
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the wild, and you look at the boxer, Oh, the
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: stats are good. I'm not gonna go full on hero ball,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: but it did appear for stretches of this game for
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks that it was pretty much get the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: ball to Jannis ident to Coombo and whatever he does,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: that's great. And you'll freeze out Dame Willard and it's
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: all about him. You're not facilitating the offense and you're
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: not getting everyone involved in that. And you also struggled.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Johanna's struggling to contain Pascal Siakam there as well. Now
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: we have some Doc Rivers audio. Let's go to the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: audience tip. So we have Doc Rivers here, and one
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: thing Doc has been very good at over the years
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: is knowing exactly what to say when his teams lose,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: because they always lose. They always lose playoff games. Listen up,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: buck fans, what Doc's about to say. We've heard a
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: million times over the years. Here's Doc Rivers on his
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: team falling behind and everything's gonna be okay.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Let's see, I'll look at it as a long series.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: You know, we haven't played a home game. Yeah, so
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: it's almost like two and eight. And someone said, you know,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: no one makes the playoffs with their two and eight,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: But you know it's the same thing to me, right,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: we have to go home and take care of business
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: and then then we get talk.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: He recorded that with a mister microphone, by the way,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: mister microphone from the nineteen eighties or seventies anyway. So
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: there's Doc haven't played a home game number. Doc wanted
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: credit for his team's blowing three games to one leads.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Now the good news is that the Bucks will not
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: be blowing a three games to one lead in this series.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Here's more from the Bucks coach. Here is Doc Rivers
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: pointing out, believe it or not, there's actually a lot
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: of good stuff for Milwaukee losing and never having the lead.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Take a list.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: I liked how we'd played tonight overall, and it should
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: have shout the ball better, could have moved the ball
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: even better.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: So I like where we're tracking.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like how we bet we didn't have a
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: lead for a second. Man, that's good bet basketball. Oh God,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the fact that this guy keeps getting gigs these How
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: dumb are these billionaire owners of these basketball teams? Mike
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: get These are some of the stupidest people out there.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: They want they buy a basketball team because they want
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: everyone to talk about them, right, Why else would you
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: buy a sports team if you're rich you can be
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: rich and not have people talk about you. There's a
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: lot of rich people no one talks about. They just
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: hang out in you know, West Palm, or they hang
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: out in Beverly Hills or on Long Island. Nobody even
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: knows who they are. You buy a sports team because
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: you want to be talked about, and then you hire
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the I can't even say what I want to say
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: as the coach. Oh my god, all right, now, turning
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the page. So the Pacers won and the final they
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: led from beginning to end and all that. So the
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: story here is not so much about the game. It's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: a survey that was done where NBA players voted Tyrese
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Halliburton as the most overraded, over raided player in the
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: entire league. Did see a spicy SoundBite from Rick Carlyle,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the coach of the team there in Indiana, who was
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: defending his guy, pursing and getting all worked up. He
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: was worked into a ladder, and there were other people
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: running to defend tyree Celiburton. So the question is you
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: are the voted by your peers, by the This is
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: NBA players, This is not the media, this is not fanboys,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: This is the actual contemporaries of you. It's like if
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I was voted the largest gas bag by radio people,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: that would be amazing. So this led to a lot
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: of anger. In fact that we have that audio. Here's
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Rick Carlyle. Listen to Rick Carlile, stand by your man.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Here take a list. Yeah, I heard about this.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: And the other guys on the list were Jimmy Butler
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: and Giannis.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: All right, and I want to.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: See I want to see the guys faces that voted
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: those guys. I want to see the faces of those guys.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Right, this is a pole.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Not let everybody even answer in the poll. Guys were
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: able to answer if they wanted to. They were asked
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: on camera or with a microphone.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: The whole thing is okay, and it's just really it's really.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: A shameful thing. It's just a shameful thing.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. So keep in mind that in the survey,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: there are roughly four hundred and fifty players in the NBA.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Ninety people respond. That is twenty percent. You know, when
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: they do presidential polling and they're like, hey, who do
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: you think is going to be the president? Team Red,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Team Blue, they don't survey twenty percent of the United
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: states to decide who's going to win the election. So
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: in many ways, Rick Carlisle is completely wrong. Now, listen,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: he's got skin in the game. He's paid by the Pacers.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: That's his guy. I totally get that he would defend
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Tyree Saliburton. But in terms of the actual polling, it
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: is really good. Like twenty percent is a massive number,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: a massive number when you think about what other surveys
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: are done. But in terms of what does it mean,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: it means that Tyreeve Saliburton is the headliner at the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: bitterness ball of other NBA players, Like the players believe
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: that Halliburton is the hype that this cat gets exceeds
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: his production. It's kind of obvious. Now, remember I've said
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: this for you. Overrated does not mean bad. It just
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: means you're not as good as people think you are.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Derek Jeter overrated in Major League Baseball, right, Peyton Manning
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: overrated in the NFL. There's a lot of players that
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: are perceived to be great, but they're overrated. Now, I'm
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: not comparing Tyree Saliburton to Derek Jeter and Peyton Manning.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just merely using that as an example that you
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: can be productive and be considered good. But you're still overrated.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: So the players think he's a tiger, a paper tiger.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Tyreese Saliburton Indiana last year won on a playoff run,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people believe that's counterfeit. The players
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: think that the Pacers got too much credit. Haliburton got
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: too much credit last year in the playoffs. They beat
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the Bucks. Be honest, was out if I remember correctly,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: they beat the Knicks. A bunch of guys in the
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Knicks were hurt in that playoff run. So it's not authentic.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: And the bigger problem is Halliburton is a mosquito. He
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: is a pest. He is kind of a goofy dude.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: He talks trash, memory taunted Dame Lillard, used the Dame
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Lilard celebration in the playoffs, and so that annoyed Dame Lillard,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: and he irritates people. He's seemed like he's kind of corny.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: You know, guys don't like that. He's like, it's just
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff going on all right now.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Final point. We quickly we go to Oklahoma, oh Colahoma,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the dust Bowl where Kyrie's ok C Thunder not Kyrie
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Irving the other Kyrie, he's a p one and my
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: guy Kyrie, he's the only guy that regularly corresponds with
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: this show who loves the Thunder. So we have one
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: guy who's a Thunder fan that regularly corresponds with the show, Kyrie.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: So Shay gilgis Alexander twenty seven points and oh, Oklahoma
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: City domination situation. They win one, eighteen to ninety nine.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: They have a two to nothing lead over the grizz
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: in that series one versus eight. Oklahoma City opened up
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: on a nine to zero run and held Memphis without
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: a point for the first three and a half minutes
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: of the game. The Grizzlies proving that Game one was
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: not a fluke, as they came into this game fourteen
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: and a half point underdogs, and they missed their first
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: ten shots. Clankety clank. It was a brick house, it was.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: And so that's if you're keeping track here, that means
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Memphis has been outscored by seventy or if you look
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: at it from the other perspective, Oklahoma City is plus
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: seventy plus seventy in these first two games. So with
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: that being said, some have pointed out wait a minute,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: you're talking about the Lakers. The Clippers would about shake
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: yogas Alexander, So should shake gilgis Alexander's thunder be getting
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: more credit for the epic historical beatdown of the Grizzlies.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: So my response on that is two words, no way,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: no way. And here's why the Grizzlies. And I did
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: watch some of this game, not much because why would I.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: But when I was watching early on in this game,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: the Grizzlies have already checked out. It's one, two three,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: can kuon? Is what it is here? They're in zombie mode.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: John Morant right now is going to he's getting ready
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: when they get back to Memphis. Jaw's going to get
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: out his imaginary air pump and he's going to blow
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: up his imaginary rubber ducky. Because the Memphis Grizzlies are
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: floating on the lazy river is what they're doing in Wausers.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: They do not have the competitive spirit, they do not
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: have the fighting spirit here. If you put an honest
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: effort in, you don't get blown out. Now, as far
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: as shay Yogis Alexander is concerned, he hasn't been good.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: That's the shocking thing about this. The thunder of won
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: by seventy points in these first two games combined, and
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Shay Gogus Alexander is shooting thirty three point three percent
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: that's the sign of the devil from the floor and
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: twenty three and a half percent from three point range,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: so he has not been good at all. But the
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: thunder are up to all and they better enjoy all
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: these wins because they'll be losing to the Clippers in
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the second round of the playoffs.

  Speaker 2: Gets grill?
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: All right, goo bolot, What do we got?
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Colts GM Chris Ballard indicated on Monday that the team
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: isn't opposed to drafting a quarterback this year and even
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: added he quote absolutely could take a quarterback and pick
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: number fourteen if there's a player we deem is worthy
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: of it. Ben, do you believe him?
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Cub I think the GM of the Colts is trying
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: to star in a remake of a movie you were in. Liar, Liar, Okay, listen,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I don't believe in the first of all, look at
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the draft, there's like no quarterbacks that should even be
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: drafted in the first round. There will be, but look
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: at the talent coming in. They're not first round quarterbacks.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: So why would the They already have two suck back
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks in Richardson and Daniel Jones, So I don't believe him.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: Next, Adam Schefter reported on Monday that the Denver Broncos
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: are one of only a few teams that are willing
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: to trade up in this draft. Some speculate they could
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: go for the Cowboys number twelve pick to secure Texas
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: wide receiver Matthew Golden.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bend, he think Golden is a talent worth trading
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: up for, but he is projected as a first round pick.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Although he's one of these guys he didn't do anything
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: that great until his final year at Texas, and he
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: is a product of the Steve sarkisium seasion Sark system there.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, it wouldn't shock me if the
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Broncos end up getting him. How good he's going to be.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: He's yeah, it's pot luck at wide receiver.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: Next, Duke star Cooper Flagg took to social media on
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: Monday morning to announce that he'll enter the twenty twenty
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: five NBA Draft.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Ben, How high are you on? Flag? Is a franchise changer?
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: He's good. I don't have him as the generational you
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: get you like if the Washington Wizard's got Cooper Flagg.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Are they all of a sudden gonna be the playoff team?
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: No?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Like, he's good, but I'm not convinced. I'm not overwhelming.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: We can missed. How do we know I.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Got?
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I've won blind Scott, I won Blind Scott on hold,
