0:43
Speaker 2: And Lebron James knows why you're not watching and you're
0:47
Speaker 2: not emotionally invested in the NBA Finals. It's the media's fault.
0:52

2:25
Speaker 1: Me so our lead.
2:25
Speaker 2: This hour is from the Hoosier State that was the
2:29
Speaker 2: stage for Game three of the NBA Finals. Once a generation,
2:34
Speaker 2: the Pacers play in the finals, and I was there
2:38
Speaker 2: the last time many years ago they played in the
2:40
Speaker 2: NBA Finals, but they.
2:41
Speaker 1: Were back home. Game there.
2:42
Speaker 2: Chay geoghis Alexander leading the Thunder into Indianapolis for a
2:47
Speaker 2: battle with Tyrese Halliburton and the Pacers. Where are you watching?
2:52
Speaker 2: Of course you were not watching based on the ratings crickets,
2:56
Speaker 2: but don't worry. We watched so you would not have
3:00
Speaker 2: to the life of a mensch our good mitzvah of
3:03
Speaker 2: the day. And it was a secondary actor that took
3:08
Speaker 2: over Benedict matherin twenty seven points off the bench. The
3:14
Speaker 2: Dagger twenty seven points off the bench, played well in
3:17
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. Tyrese Halliburton had twenty two and eleven
3:22
Speaker 2: nine rebounds and a partridge in a paar tree. And
3:25
Speaker 2: the upstart Pacers, who were given less than a ten
3:29
Speaker 2: percent chance of winning this series, well, right now they're
3:31
Speaker 2: in good shape as they retook the lead in the
3:34
Speaker 2: NBA Finals, slithering past the Thunder by nine in Game
3:39
Speaker 2: three on Wednesday night. As now Indiana two wins away
3:45
Speaker 2: from having a parade, two wins away from a championship,
3:49
Speaker 2: and one of the great players on this show, a
3:52
Speaker 2: man that has been immortalized by our friend Marcel and
3:55
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Pascal Siakam got to make sure I say that right.
3:58
Speaker 2: Twenty one points for Indiana. So the Pacers who lost
4:03
Speaker 2: game two and a route or root a non competitive
4:06
Speaker 2: Game two, and then had about seven weeks off. They
4:09
Speaker 2: come back, they will get to win. So they improved
4:11
Speaker 2: now to ten and oh, ten and oh since mid
4:15
Speaker 2: March in the game following loss. So if they just
4:19
Speaker 2: do that, if they just win every other game since
4:22
Speaker 2: they won Game one using malor math, they are going
4:25
Speaker 2: to be crowned the champions of the NBA. Now, Game four,
4:29
Speaker 2: shockingly will be played on Friday night.
4:31
Speaker 1: I hope the players can deal with that having only one.
4:34
Speaker 2: Day off between the games. With The better story is
4:38
Speaker 2: where have I trained you? Like Pavlov's dogs? Yes, the
4:42
Speaker 2: losing locker room. So let us discuss the question who
4:46
Speaker 2: wears the shame bell for SGA's OKC team that did
4:53
Speaker 2: have a small lead, a small lead going to the
4:56
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, and they blew it a five point league
5:00
Speaker 2: going to the fourth quarter and they were outplayed by
5:02
Speaker 2: a wide margin by Indiana in Game three of the finals.
5:06
Speaker 1: So who wears the shame bell?
5:07
Speaker 2: I've got house keys, booster, and lecture, and we will
5:13
Speaker 2: combine all of these things together and we are going
5:18
Speaker 2: to make cotton candy, because that's what I saw from
5:22
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City in the fourth quarter.
5:25
Speaker 1: They played like cotton.
5:26
Speaker 2: Candy in terms of the shame bell. And there's one
5:30
Speaker 2: thing we love in overnight sports radio is pointing the
5:35
Speaker 2: finger and giving the shame bell so that the head
5:38
Speaker 2: of the snake is the problem here. Where have you gone?
5:41
Speaker 2: SGA A thunder nation whatever that means, turns its lonely
5:45
Speaker 2: eyes to you as a shay It was right there.
5:49
Speaker 2: We'd like to say on this show, when you played
5:50
Speaker 2: bad in a big game, in a key moment, you've
5:52
Speaker 2: written the vomit comet and there he was.
5:54
Speaker 1: He disappeared. It's kind of like when you're when you're looking.
5:57
Speaker 2: To leave the house and you forgot where you put
5:59
Speaker 2: the keys and you're kind of digging around the junk
6:01
Speaker 2: drawer and you can't find the house keys that you
6:03
Speaker 2: know they're in the drunk the drunk drawer, the junk drawer,
6:08
Speaker 2: and you can't find them. Right, You're like, what's going on?
6:11
Speaker 2: How bad was he? All right, I'll answer the question.
6:14
Speaker 2: So okase mentioned they had they had a small lead,
6:17
Speaker 2: a bite sized lead going to the fourth quarter. Now
6:20
Speaker 2: we know that that's not that big an advanced five points. However,
6:24
Speaker 2: you are the MVP.
6:26
Speaker 1: You have been.
6:27
Speaker 2: Compared in columns, online posts, glowing reports from fanboys. You
6:35
Speaker 2: have been compared to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Yes,
6:40
Speaker 2: I know it's ridiculous.
6:42
Speaker 1: But you have been. Yeah, this this good, good player,
6:45
Speaker 1: but that seems a little much.
6:46
Speaker 2: So anyway, what did SGA do to add another chapter
6:50
Speaker 2: to his book of legends?
6:52
Speaker 1: Don't ask?
6:53
Speaker 2: He grabbed a pillow and a blankie and he took
6:58
Speaker 2: a nap. Shay's fingerpri were all over this one. He
7:01
Speaker 2: had a very ugly stat line as Shay jogis Alexander
7:05
Speaker 2: at three points, one rebound, and had as many assists
7:08
Speaker 2: as you and I had.
7:09
Speaker 1: None and one turnover in the fourth quarter.
7:13
Speaker 2: He was not the player that he had been getting
7:15
Speaker 2: the calls, getting the separation.
7:18
Speaker 1: The everything was a little off, and that became problematic
7:23
Speaker 1: as Indiana.
7:25
Speaker 2: Was able to take advantage there and the Pacers get
7:28
Speaker 2: her done.
7:29
Speaker 1: And let's hear from the man.
7:32
Speaker 2: Of the our SGA here pointing out that, hey, the
7:36
Speaker 2: the other guys over there, they were scratching and clawing
7:40
Speaker 2: a bit tike a list.
7:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were aggressive, they were hiring the pick and rolls.
7:44
Speaker 3: They really were just like courts said more aggressive, more forceful.
7:47
Speaker 1: That's right.
7:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, we gotta starts with me, but we got to
7:51
Speaker 3: apply that pressure back.
7:53
Speaker 2: Well, you're all you're the MVP Yere three hundred million
7:56
Speaker 2: dollar guy, you're all that, come on, gotta get it done,
8:01
Speaker 2: all right? Well, what about game number four? That's the
8:05
Speaker 2: next game here? Do you have any thoughts on that
8:07
Speaker 2: you'd like to share with the class?
8:08
Speaker 3: It felt like they won all the fifty to fifty
8:10
Speaker 3: plays they're executing on both both ens of the ball.
8:14
Speaker 1: You're still gone.
8:14
Speaker 3: When you give those two things up, and no matter
8:17
Speaker 3: what quarter, you're probably gonna lose the quarter, especially and
8:21
Speaker 3: then it goes back to especially on the road in
8:22
Speaker 3: a hostile environment and crowds behind them. So yeah, we
8:26
Speaker 3: got to take care of those things. If you want
8:28
Speaker 3: to come on a game forward.
8:29
Speaker 2: A dub okay with a dub All right, very nice,
8:32
Speaker 2: All right, So here we go again. He sucked at
8:34
Speaker 2: a time you cannot suck, and you can't do that
8:37
Speaker 2: in the finals and all that stuff. This is a
8:40
Speaker 2: legacy situation, and he was a bird without wings, unable
8:45
Speaker 2: to take off there in the fourth quarter. But in general,
8:49
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City, as was mentioned here, it was just out hustle.
8:52
Speaker 2: You don't have to be an NBA coach or some
8:55
Speaker 2: kind of high falutin insider to know. You just have
8:58
Speaker 2: to be able to know ball. No ball, do we
9:01
Speaker 2: not know ball? Come on, we know ball. We are
9:04
Speaker 2: experts at ball. So in general, Oklahoma City was just
9:08
Speaker 2: bad all the way around. Late in the game, but
9:10
Speaker 2: thanks to Indiana backup, as we mentioned the star of
9:14
Speaker 2: the show, Benedict Mathern. The math was math in there
9:18
Speaker 2: twenty seven points. The Thunder outscored by thirty one points.
9:24
Speaker 2: I believe if my math is correct, it was twenty one.
9:26
Speaker 1: It was a lot. It was a lot. I think
9:28
Speaker 1: it was thirty one.
9:29
Speaker 2: Anyway, it was like a lot of bench points, most
9:33
Speaker 2: of it from Mathren a huge advantage there in the
9:36
Speaker 2: bench points.
9:37
Speaker 1: It was forty nine to eighteen.
9:39
Speaker 2: Now page two, So let's go to the winning locker room,
9:42
Speaker 2: which is not as good as story, but we'll go
9:44
Speaker 2: there anyway. So you have a two to one lead
9:46
Speaker 2: in the NBA Finals. You've got home court advantage. If
9:49
Speaker 2: you just win the home games, you're going to win
9:51
Speaker 2: the championship. So dude, Tyrese Halliburton and the Indiana Pacers
9:56
Speaker 2: have a stranglehold on the NBA Final. So if you
10:01
Speaker 2: look at the comps on this, they are a hitter
10:06
Speaker 2: batting eight hundred at this point. The comps say, the
10:11
Speaker 2: analytics say, you are an eight hundred hitter. You're not
10:17
Speaker 2: Tony Gwynn, You're not Ty Cobb, You're an eight hundred hitter.
10:22
Speaker 2: That's Beer League Softball history says the Pacers are in control.
10:27
Speaker 1: In the forty one previous.
10:29
Speaker 2: NBA Finals that were tied at a game apiece, the
10:32
Speaker 2: team that won Game three got to get that shiny
10:36
Speaker 2: hunk of metal thirty three times. That's an eighty percent
10:40
Speaker 2: winning clip eighty point five percent, So clear advantage of
10:44
Speaker 2: the Pacers. But as we often point out, what do
10:47
Speaker 2: we say here the disclaimer? As the great Dick Stockton,
10:50
Speaker 2: legendary sportscaster taught me, he said, ben Stat's tell you.
10:54
Speaker 1: What has happened, not what's going to happen.
10:57
Speaker 2: This is clearly a booster shot for Indiana, And unlike
11:01
Speaker 2: some of those booster shots we had to take a
11:02
Speaker 2: few years ago, these actually work. So can Benedict Mathern
11:06
Speaker 2: bottle this up and do it again?
11:08
Speaker 1: Does he even have to do that again?
11:10
Speaker 2: It is a game Indiana won with Tyrese Haliburton, who
11:14
Speaker 2: is known as the closer, and he was not the
11:18
Speaker 2: closer in terms of big shots fourth quarter. He was
11:21
Speaker 2: one of four down the stretch in the fourth quarter
11:24
Speaker 2: and had just three points.
11:26
Speaker 1: So this is.
11:26
Speaker 2: An exhale situation for Indiana and they're in good, good shape.
11:33
Speaker 1: But are they really?
11:34
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't lose it home, So it's like,
11:35
Speaker 2: you got to win these home games. If you just
11:37
Speaker 2: merely win the home games, you don't have to win
11:39
Speaker 2: another game in Oklahoma City. You don't have to worry
11:41
Speaker 2: about that, where SGA seems to get every call now
11:44
Speaker 2: last word. So there's a lot of people in the
11:46
Speaker 2: NBA that are freaking out. They're running around trying to
11:49
Speaker 2: put out fires here because no one's watching the finals
11:54
Speaker 2: in comparison to years gone by, it's just a bad product.
11:58
Speaker 2: People aren't into it, and the people have spoken, and
12:01
Speaker 2: so everyone's trying.
12:02
Speaker 1: To come up with rationale.
12:04
Speaker 2: Adam Silver has pulled seven muscles trying to manipulate the numbers.
12:11
Speaker 2: We Lebron James has entered the chat. Of course, Lebron,
12:15
Speaker 2: you know who he's blaming for the lack of an
12:18
Speaker 2: audience for the NBA Finals.
12:21
Speaker 1: Did you see this?
12:21
Speaker 3: No?
12:23
Speaker 1: All right, Lebron James is blaming the media.
12:26
Speaker 2: It's the media's fault, the lack of emotion, the lack
12:31
Speaker 2: of interest by Joe Schmoe, Joe sixpack doesn't care. The
12:36
Speaker 2: hoy POLOI is not watching the NBA Finals.
12:38
Speaker 3: Now.
12:38
Speaker 2: Lebron says that the media is not telling enough stories
12:42
Speaker 2: and they're not doing their homework. He says they're failing
12:46
Speaker 2: the fans.
12:48
Speaker 1: Is he right? All right? So let me begin with this.
12:51
Speaker 2: This is a the word I will use is ridiculous.
12:54
Speaker 2: Capital r capital are ridiculous. The basketball media are a
13:00
Speaker 2: bunch of lightweights. They are not the problem. Okay, they
13:03
Speaker 2: are not the problem. The Thunder and Pacers. The Thunder
13:07
Speaker 2: in particular a great team, right regular season, great team
13:10
Speaker 2: and all that.
13:10
Speaker 1: They tried to win the regular season.
13:12
Speaker 2: The Pacers ever since, like January, played very well.
13:16
Speaker 1: The issue is they don't have star power.
13:19
Speaker 2: And that's the secret ingredient, which is not so secret
13:23
Speaker 2: that people search out the casuals.
13:25
Speaker 1: That's what they look for.
13:27
Speaker 2: And usually you have at least one headliner in the
13:30
Speaker 2: NBA Finals, whether it's Steph.
13:31
Speaker 1: Curry or Lebron who people love to hate. So you
13:37
Speaker 1: don't have that.
13:38
Speaker 2: You don't have Curry, you don't have Lebron, you don't
13:40
Speaker 2: have an audience. And the media, the evil media. I
13:44
Speaker 2: have read a number of glowing think pieces, stories about
13:49
Speaker 2: the magic of Shay Jogis Alexander and the mythical superpowers
13:55
Speaker 2: of Tyress Halliburton. Unfortunately, those guys don't make the public tingles.
13:59
Speaker 2: My opinion, it's a fact. Okay, sorry, not sorry. It's
14:05
Speaker 2: nice of media expert Lebron James to lecture the rank
14:11
Speaker 2: and file on storytelling. This is classic Lebron. Is this
14:17
Speaker 2: not perfect for Lebron? He's always got to control the
14:20
Speaker 2: narrative and make everything about him. Now, I have done
14:25
Speaker 2: a TV show the last couple years with a guy
14:27
Speaker 2: who does that too, makes everything about.
14:28
Speaker 1: Him, and I hate people like that.
14:31
Speaker 2: What are the basketball media types supposed to do if
14:36
Speaker 2: the public doesn't care, are they gonna force them to care?
14:40
Speaker 2: Where are they gonna make a cooking documentary with Pascal
14:42
Speaker 2: Siakam cooking his favorite dish, pasta prima era, Like? What
14:47
Speaker 2: are they gonna a deep dive on Tyreese Halliburn. I
14:50
Speaker 2: don't know if he collects Pokemon cards or not, but
14:52
Speaker 2: it looks like he might be the guy that collects
14:54
Speaker 2: Pokemon cards.
14:55
Speaker 1: I'm not judging.
14:56
Speaker 2: I'm just saying there's no amount of storytelling, none that
15:00
Speaker 2: can replace star power.
15:02
Speaker 1: And that is the real issue. You're starting out.
15:08
Speaker 2: It's like starting a race and you're behind by a
15:10
Speaker 2: couple of lengths at the race because the market size
15:14
Speaker 2: is a huge advantage.
15:16
Speaker 1: You have bigger market, there's more people. Now. Not everyone in.
15:19
Speaker 2: Every big city cares about sports. There's a lot of
15:22
Speaker 2: weirdos that aren't like us, that don't like sports. They
15:24
Speaker 2: don't have the sports gene, so they don't understand. But
15:27
Speaker 2: there's enough if you're in the big city. The big
15:30
Speaker 2: metropolis is where you have enough people that do care
15:33
Speaker 2: and are passionate, and then the other people, some of them,
15:36
Speaker 2: a percentage of those people are like, well, we better
15:38
Speaker 2: watch because everyone else is watching.
15:39
Speaker 1: So it becomes a communal thing. And even if that
15:42
Speaker 1: same effect happens.
15:43
Speaker 2: In a place like Oklahoma City or Indianapolis, the size
15:47
Speaker 2: thing is the issue. That's the that's the rubs, as
15:52
Speaker 2: they say, whoever they are. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
15:56
Speaker 2: As we are just beginning the red eye flight through

Speaker 2: X at Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Mahlor. Lorena can
17:52
Speaker 2: be reached at FSR Tech Queen and Coopett a Bronco fan.
17:57
Speaker 2: Your comments can and we'll be used against you in
17:59
Speaker 2: the Quota Sports Radio.
18:01
Speaker 1: So act recording and back to it, back to what
18:06
Speaker 1: we go through the overnight.
18:09
Speaker 2: Mister Irrigation points out he knew the better story was
18:12
Speaker 2: in the.
18:12
Speaker 1: Losing locker room supermarket.
18:15
Speaker 2: Steve writes in he says, how come I don't see
18:17
Speaker 2: Page Becker's coming back and going for thirty five on
18:21
Speaker 2: your rundown, because I do broadcasting, not narrow casting, and
18:25
Speaker 2: there's only one story in the WNBA that's worth my time,
18:29
Speaker 2: and that's something involving Kitlyn Clark. In fact, if you
18:33
Speaker 2: look at the average WNBA broadcast on television, there is
18:37
Speaker 2: a one hundred and ninety nine percent difference. The audience
18:41
Speaker 2: goes down by almost two hundred percent when Caitlin Clark
18:44
Speaker 2: is not playing. So there's one person that matters in
18:49
Speaker 2: that entire sport, and it's Kaitlyn.
18:52
Speaker 1: No one else back.
18:52
Speaker 2: Now, you you might be all horned up for certain
18:55
Speaker 2: other players, but there's only one that is worthy of
18:58
Speaker 2: our time, and it ain't page backers.
19:01
Speaker 1: So just deal with that. There you go, tiger Man
19:04
Speaker 1: in Utah.
19:05
Speaker 2: Right, Since, says Ben, when did going to an MLB
19:08
Speaker 2: game become so unaffordable sixty dollars for a ticket in
19:13
Speaker 2: parking just to park a mile away and sit in
19:15
Speaker 2: the nose bleachers. Well, tiger Man, you haven't called the
19:17
Speaker 2: show in a while.
19:18
Speaker 1: Number one. Number two, this is a non secutor because
19:20
Speaker 1: we're not talking about this.
19:21
Speaker 2: Number three, there is a cheat code to go to
19:23
Speaker 2: baseball games, and if you're willing to go to day
19:27
Speaker 2: games during the week. I'll let you in a little
19:29
Speaker 2: hack here on the secondary market in a lot of
19:33
Speaker 2: these cities, even big Metropolis, is you can get a
19:37
Speaker 2: ticket for less than five dollars to a baseball and
19:41
Speaker 2: you'll end up paying more in fees than you will
19:44
Speaker 2: for the ticket on those day games on like a
19:48
Speaker 2: Wednesday or a Thursday, when most people have jobs and
19:51
Speaker 2: can't go, and people try to get rid of those tickets,
19:54
Speaker 2: or if you were willing to go to unattracted matchup.
19:56
Speaker 2: So that's the cheat code, tiger Man. Do that, you'll
20:00
Speaker 2: you'll save a bunch of money. And now I don't
20:02
Speaker 2: know how to get around the parking thing, because that's
20:07
Speaker 2: that's I haven't figured out a cheat coat on that.
20:10
Speaker 1: Hey Ben, Yes.
20:11
Speaker 2: Lorena, don't the Angels have a really good deal right now?
20:15
Speaker 1: What you can spend money and watch bad baseball?
20:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think you can get like it gets
20:20
Speaker 2: four hot dogs and for sodas for like forty bucks.
20:23
Speaker 1: Yes, you just maybe you can turn your seat around
20:26
Speaker 1: and look at a look at off.
20:27
Speaker 2: You might be able to see the fireworks at Disneyland
20:29
Speaker 2: if you time it right. I think they at nine
20:32
Speaker 2: o'clock every night. I think there's fireworks.
20:33
Speaker 1: They're in second place, all right, I know.
20:35
Speaker 2: The Halos are back, baby, they are back. Angel baseball
20:39
Speaker 2: Ron Washington, he's got them going wash. Every baseball writer
20:43
Speaker 2: Ron Washington was coaching when I started it as a
20:46
Speaker 2: like a radio guy, and every baseball he must be
20:49
Speaker 2: the greatest storyteller. I have not met a baseball writer
20:53
Speaker 2: that doesn't just slobber all over want Ron Washington, you
20:56
Speaker 2: mustpect the greatest guy in the world. The Angels manager
20:59
Speaker 2: James Wright. Since hey, dumb ass, you are the media.
21:03
Speaker 2: You spend a lot of time pooping on the NBA playoffs.
21:06
Speaker 1: You are just another part of the problem. Yeah, all right.
21:10
Speaker 2: James, you're a genius. Let me explain something, sir, how
21:12
Speaker 2: this works here. I know you're apparently not that bright. Actually,
21:15
Speaker 2: So there's the media and then there's the non mainstream media.
21:20
Speaker 2: And I want you to know my boss is here
21:21
Speaker 2: at Fox Sports Radio at iHeart. They keep me grounded,
21:24
Speaker 2: and anytime I negotiate a contract, they remind me that
21:28
Speaker 2: I am not part of the mainstream that we are
21:30
Speaker 2: on at night.
21:31
Speaker 1: There is a different world. We are not mainstream.
21:33
Speaker 2: We are really underground. If you will a voice in
21:37
Speaker 2: the night. Here, there's a radio that is six am
21:40
Speaker 2: to six pm.
21:41
Speaker 1: Those are the cool kids.
21:42
Speaker 2: They get go on road trips and they get the
21:45
Speaker 2: big salaries and all that stuff, and they get promoted
21:48
Speaker 2: by the company. And then there's the people that do
21:50
Speaker 2: nighttime radio. Nighttime radio, it's a lot more fun.
21:53
Speaker 1: Right.
21:54
Speaker 2: We're not micro managed or whatever by our bosses, but
21:59
Speaker 2: we're not mainstream. So and I don't work for the NBA, James,
22:04
Speaker 2: if you want state sponsored media coverage and you want
22:08
Speaker 2: the prova news service, watch NBA TV or ESPN and.
22:13
Speaker 1: They will give you that. They will give you that
22:15
Speaker 1: content that you're looking for. That's right. Yeah, I know, shocking,
22:20
Speaker 1: absolutely shocking.
22:21
Speaker 2: Late night drug tester rights And he says, with these
22:23
Speaker 2: smaller market teams in the NBA finals, are there going
22:26
Speaker 2: to be more post series riots involving cow tipping or
22:31
Speaker 2: burning crops?
22:33
Speaker 1: Well, there is another summer of love here in the
22:36
Speaker 1: United States.
22:37
Speaker 2: The people that like to burn cars and buildings, and
22:41
Speaker 2: they're out there, out and about.
22:42
Speaker 1: I also like cow tipping and enjoying themselves.
22:45
Speaker 2: So who knows every night is a night to do that.
22:49
Speaker 1: Apparently these days.
22:50
Speaker 2: Ferd dog right, Sin says, how dare you doubt the
22:54
Speaker 2: effectiveness of the booster shot?
22:55
Speaker 1: Ben?
22:56
Speaker 2: I just got my tenth one today and I am
22:59
Speaker 2: the picture of Do look like you're in great, great
23:01
Speaker 2: shape there? Absolutely yes, Tony writes in, says Halliburton is
23:07
Speaker 2: Reggie Miller two point oh tyreek, Salbert, I don't think
23:10
Speaker 2: you nws spelled tyrees because you said Haliburn Halliburton is.
23:13
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller two point zero and.
23:16
Speaker 2: Taking out Ben Maller's heavily favorite thunder Well, Tony, you
23:21
Speaker 2: might want to go to Costco when they open.
23:23
Speaker 1: Up there and go to the hearing aid area.
23:25
Speaker 2: They will test your hearing because if you were paying attention.
23:29
Speaker 2: I pointed out that I enjoy the way the Pacers play.
23:32
Speaker 2: I find the pacers pleasing, appetizing, enjoyable, so.
23:38
Speaker 1: I would have no issue. I have no skin in
23:40
Speaker 1: the game.
23:40
Speaker 2: I'm fine with them winning, obviously. I'm happy that SGA
23:45
Speaker 2: has played well. You know, old Clipper Blood goes very well.
23:49
Speaker 2: I'm happy about that. But I know Indiana is the
23:53
Speaker 2: one right there. Anyway, it is the Ben Maller Show
23:56
Speaker 2: as we are working our way through the overnight hour,
24:00
Speaker 2: and it's not personal, it's just business.
24:04
Speaker 1: We'll get to that story.
24:05
Speaker 2: We'll get to that story right now, because I thought
24:06
Speaker 2: this was interesting and it involves Kevin Durant. Another day,
24:11
Speaker 2: another eight million rumors about Kevin Durant, and it turns
24:17
Speaker 2: out these suns now.
24:19
Speaker 1: The chatter for months has been that Durant's going to
24:21
Speaker 1: be traded.
24:22
Speaker 2: Some people think the deal's already done with San Antonio
24:25
Speaker 2: and nothing will be done done until after the NBA Finals. However,
24:30
Speaker 2: it turns out that the person who is negotiating the
24:34
Speaker 2: trade is Durant's business manager, is said to be sorting
24:39
Speaker 2: through not one, not two, not three, not four, how
24:43
Speaker 2: about five NBA trade possibilities for Kevin Durant.
24:48
Speaker 1: There are at least five teams, five teams.
24:51
Speaker 2: That are attempting to acquire him, including the Roquettes, the
24:56
Speaker 2: Spurs that have been mentioned regularly, the Tim Burwos, the
25:01
Speaker 2: Miami Heat, and the New York knicker Bockers. For Kevin Durant,
25:08
Speaker 2: who is thirty six years old.
25:10
Speaker 1: And while he is not.
25:12
Speaker 2: Bad, Durant is not bad, I think it is fair
25:14
Speaker 2: to point out that he is just a little bit,
25:19
Speaker 2: just a little bit off, and it's enough where it's
25:23
Speaker 2: like he's not lollygaggering or anything like that. It's just
25:26
Speaker 2: like he's something's a little haywire there. The thing of
25:29
Speaker 2: a jig isn't quite working right.
25:31
Speaker 1: For Durant, and so you're gonna pay a lot of money.
25:34
Speaker 2: Now, these things always have, as I've been told, I've
25:37
Speaker 2: been educated over the years. They pointed out, people point
25:40
Speaker 2: out it. But Ben, you don't understand. There's the basketball
25:43
Speaker 2: part of it, and then there's the business part of it.
25:45
Speaker 2: And Durant is a big enough name that the low
25:51
Speaker 2: information fan will go for the sizzle even if there's
25:55
Speaker 2: no steak. Even if it's all sizzle and no steak.
25:57
Speaker 2: At this point, they like the sizzle. People buy on
26:01
Speaker 2: the sizzle. They like that, so they'll go for the sizzle.
26:07
Speaker 2: And even if again duransa not quite as good as
26:10
Speaker 2: he was, and you're getting a player that's going to
26:13
Speaker 2: continue to get a little bit worse by the year,
26:16
Speaker 2: but he's got the sizzle. And as long as you
26:19
Speaker 2: got the sizzle, you're not in bad shape. You're you're
26:23
Speaker 2: you're not you're in you're in decent shape. There, So
26:27
Speaker 2: put that in your pipe and smoke it. Eight seven
26:30
Speaker 2: seven ninety nine on Fox is the number eight seven, seven,
26:35
Speaker 2: nine nine six six three sixty nine if you would
26:37
Speaker 2: like to be part of the program. And a bull
26:41
Speaker 2: Pucky alert as we turn the page. Bull Pucky alert
26:45
Speaker 2: and we go now back to Indianapolis where Tyrese Halliburton
26:50
Speaker 2: was asked about all the chattern Oklahoma City given a
26:55
Speaker 2: ninety five or ninety six percent chance to win the pace,
27:00
Speaker 2: supposed to go out with a whimper in the NBA.
27:03
Speaker 1: Finals and right now they're living high on the hog.
27:06
Speaker 2: Is Indiana just a couple of wins away from winning
27:10
Speaker 2: the championship and they have the home court.
27:13
Speaker 1: And so Haliburton was asked about that.
27:15
Speaker 2: I think we have the audio actually, okay, so let's
27:17
Speaker 2: rather than me not that I don't sound like Halliburton,
27:20
Speaker 2: I do, but rather than me pretend to beat Tyree Saliburton,
27:25
Speaker 2: here is Tyree's talking about the perception that the talking
27:29
Speaker 2: heads and how they approach the media.
27:32
Speaker 1: You know, the basketball media take less.
27:34
Speaker 5: The commentary is always going to be what it is.
27:37
Speaker 5: You know most of the time.
27:38
Speaker 6: The talking heads on the major platforms, I couldn't care less, honestly, Like,
27:42
Speaker 6: what do they really know about basketball. The commentary is
27:46
Speaker 6: what it is at this point, you know it doesn't matter.
27:48
Speaker 6: You know, we're here in the NBA Finals, two wins
27:50
Speaker 6: away from an NBA championship.
27:52
Speaker 5: So you just got to stay with it, put my
27:54
Speaker 5: head down and keep working.
27:55
Speaker 6: And as a group, we just got to keep learning
27:56
Speaker 6: from our mistakes, see where we can get better and
27:59
Speaker 6: take it a day at.
27:59
Speaker 1: Time, all right.
28:00
Speaker 2: So at the end there he filled that last ten
28:04
Speaker 2: seconds with just rapid fire.
28:07
Speaker 1: He carpet bombed your ears with cliches.
28:10
Speaker 2: In fact, that was enough where I think we should
28:13
Speaker 2: play this again and count the cliches.
28:16
Speaker 1: So how long was that sound?
28:18
Speaker 3: By?
28:18
Speaker 1: Was that about twenty second? Five?
28:20
Speaker 2: Twenty five second? A right, so twenty five seconds? How
28:23
Speaker 2: many cliches will play? The cliche game? Here from from
28:28
Speaker 2: Tyrese Halliburton.
28:31
Speaker 1: I just left the tires six rapid fire at the end,
28:35
Speaker 1: I heard I thought I heard seven. Uh, Lorena, do
28:39
Speaker 1: you I don't know what a cliche is?
28:46
Speaker 3: Right?
28:46
Speaker 2: There's a website called sportscliche dot com. I've sent them
28:49
Speaker 2: some content over the years. You can learn every sports
28:51
Speaker 2: cliche on one website. I don't get paid by them,
28:54
Speaker 2: and they don't really have any ads. I don't even
28:56
Speaker 2: know how they make money over there. But this sportscliche
28:58
Speaker 2: dot com. If you all learn your sports cliches. Okay,
29:01
Speaker 2: so let me let me get my my counter out here,
29:05
Speaker 2: and we're gonna play the Tyres Haliburton cliche game.
29:08
Speaker 1: You walk your bets in as you're listening and hit
29:11
Speaker 1: that button. Loraina, here we go.
29:12
Speaker 5: The commentary is always going to be what it is.
29:15
Speaker 6: You know, most of the time, the talking heads on
29:17
Speaker 6: the major platforms, I couldn't care less, honestly, like, what
29:20
Speaker 6: do they really know about basketball? The commentary is what
29:24
Speaker 6: it is. At this point, you know, it doesn't matter.
29:26
Speaker 6: You know, we're here in the NBA Finals, two wins
29:28
Speaker 6: away from an NBA championship.
29:30
Speaker 5: So you just got to stay with it.
29:32
Speaker 6: Put my head down and keep working, and as a group,
29:33
Speaker 6: we just got to keep learning from our mistakes, seeing
29:35
Speaker 6: where we can get better and take it a day
29:37
Speaker 6: a time.
29:38
Speaker 1: Oh man, I thank you were right. I think you
29:40
Speaker 1: were that seven, No I heard.
29:41
Speaker 2: I think I had nine really because I count as
29:44
Speaker 2: some of the ones at the beginning too, because those
29:45
Speaker 2: were cliches.
29:46
Speaker 1: He mixed.
29:47
Speaker 2: He weaved Haliburton weave cliches in to the commentary. So
29:52
Speaker 2: I've got let's hit it one more time and then
29:54
Speaker 2: I'll say where I think the cliches were so we
29:56
Speaker 2: can get to nine.
29:57
Speaker 1: Here it again.
29:58
Speaker 5: The commentary is always going to be what it is.
30:00
Speaker 6: Well most of the time, the talking heads on the
30:02
Speaker 6: major platforms, I couldn't care less, honestly, like, what do
30:06
Speaker 6: they really know about basketball?
30:08
Speaker 5: The commentary is what it is. At this point, you know,
30:11
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter.
30:12
Speaker 6: You know, we're here in the NBA Finals, two wins
30:14
Speaker 6: away from an NBA championship, So you just got.
30:16
Speaker 5: To stay with it or put my head down and
30:18
Speaker 5: keep working.
30:18
Speaker 6: And as a group, we just gotta keep learning from
30:20
Speaker 6: our mistakes, seeing where we can get better and take
30:22
Speaker 6: a time eight.
30:24
Speaker 1: So eight, it's eight or nine. I counted eight that time.
30:27
Speaker 1: I initially counted nine, but it's over six. It's over six.
30:31
Speaker 1: So there's haliburn.
30:32
Speaker 2: Now, as far as the talking heads that they don't
30:35
Speaker 2: know basketball.
30:38
Speaker 5: Uh, are you knocking head?
30:40
Speaker 4: Ben?
30:41
Speaker 1: No, I'm not on camera voice. I'm I don't know
30:46
Speaker 1: what's the what's the radio version of a talking head?
30:48
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever that is.
30:49
Speaker 2: I'm just a weird voice off in the distance that
30:52
Speaker 2: people ease, drop in and listen to But I am.
30:55
Speaker 1: I was told earlier that I am part of the media.
30:58
Speaker 1: That guy that wrote in.
30:59
Speaker 2: He was very upset with me because I'm not licking
31:02
Speaker 2: the toes of the basketball. There's James very upset, You're
31:05
Speaker 2: part of the problem all that stuff, very very angry
31:08
Speaker 2: about that. But the whole you don't know ball thing,
31:10
Speaker 2: like you could use that to nity. If somebody gives
31:12
Speaker 2: an opinion that you don't like, you just say, well,
31:15
Speaker 2: they don't know basketball. You know, they don't met And
31:17
Speaker 2: by the way, the whole business model of the nbam
31:20
Speaker 2: my wrong on this?
31:20
Speaker 1: I don't think I am.
31:21
Speaker 2: The whole business model of the NBA is to get
31:25
Speaker 2: people to watch your product that aren't basketball people because
31:30
Speaker 2: they have their own lives. So and the whole point
31:34
Speaker 2: of engagement is for those people that don't live basketball
31:39
Speaker 2: every day to give opinions on basketball. It's called engagement.
31:43
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of money to be made in that.
31:45
Speaker 2: So like when you say, hey, I couldn't care less
31:50
Speaker 2: and they don't really know basketball, you're really crapping all
31:54
Speaker 2: over the product.
31:54
Speaker 1: Like Tyree's I was writing a story.
31:57
Speaker 2: My column would be Tyrese halliburtons all over the NBA
32:02
Speaker 2: and the fans of the NBA and the media of
32:04
Speaker 2: the NBA because it says that he's doing right, and
32:07
Speaker 2: he's like, hey, listen, the talking heads, I couldn't care less.
32:12
Speaker 1: They don't know basketball. Blah blah blah blah blah.
32:15
Speaker 2: Do you think he's saying that if he's playing for
32:17
Speaker 2: a team and they're favored to win and everyone's kissing
32:20
Speaker 2: their ass, methinks that he's not saying that. Methinks that
32:25
Speaker 2: that is not part of the dialogue that is going on.
32:29
Speaker 2: I'm just just pointing that out just but I tossed
32:32
Speaker 2: that out. It is the Ben Mallard Show. I know
32:35
Speaker 2: who's your bills very excited about this. He's probably so
32:37
Speaker 2: hammered he can't figure out how to call into the show.
32:40
Speaker 2: But he's probably very very happy with his team winning
32:44
Speaker 2: that game eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, also
32:46
Speaker 2: on X at Ben Mallard. That's at Ben Maler. I
32:51
Speaker 2: think we have the play of the night. Do we
32:54
Speaker 2: not have the play of the night.
32:55
Speaker 1: Ready to go? Here? Is that cued up? Ready to go?
32:57
Speaker 1: I think it is?
32:58
Speaker 3: No?
32:58
Speaker 1: Maybe not all right? Here it is let's going the
33:01
Speaker 1: tire rack play of the night in the world of sport.
33:09
Speaker 2: The seven thirty six left of the third Halliburton interceps
33:12
Speaker 2: hones escorted to the other end with a two hand slab.
33:17
Speaker 1: It's kind of a crappy player. We have something better
33:19
