- 0:08Speaker 1: Is the sixth day of May. And here in our
- 0:13Speaker 1: number one, we start out with upset City in OKC
- 0:18Speaker 1: despite dropping thirty three points. How much of the blame
- 0:22Speaker 1: does Shae Juggas Alexander deserve for Oklahoma City as they
- 0:26Speaker 1: go down? Also, the Thunder had the top defense in
- 0:31Speaker 1: the regular season. So how did the Denver basketball team
- 0:34Speaker 1: shoot fifty percent and score seventy one points in the
- 0:38Speaker 1: second half? And what does this win do for Nikola
- 0:41Speaker 1: Jokic and the Nuggets taking Game one? And does this
- 0:46Speaker 1: postseason we're in the second round, all the teams that
- 0:49Speaker 1: had extra rest lost. Does that prove that extra rest
- 0:54Speaker 1: kills your mojo in the NBA when you need it most.
- 0:58Speaker 1: We'll talk about all of those things and more right
- 1:01Speaker 1: now here it is make way for the title wave.
- 1:04Speaker 1: That is our number one.

- 2:21Speaker 1: our lead. This hour A pretty decent night, pretty decent night,
- 2:25Speaker 1: not a bad night. You know, normally come in here complain.
- 2:28Speaker 1: We covet y'all. That's terrible. It sucked garbage. Can't say that.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Can't say that. Normally we often have a PSA on
- 2:37Speaker 1: the show that we watched the games, so you would
- 2:41Speaker 1: not have to. But this was a pretty good night,
- 2:44Speaker 1: pretty good night. We'll start out in the dust bowl. Now,
- 2:47Speaker 1: I was not planning on starting out in the dust ball.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I was like, ah, that's not going to be that
- 2:52Speaker 1: good a game. And here we are, here we are
- 2:56Speaker 1: discussing as Oklahoma the stage game number one, Game one
- 3:03Speaker 1: Western Conference semi Finals, Nicola Jokic leading the Nuggets into
- 3:09Speaker 1: OKC for a matchup with Shae Julius Alexander and the Thunder.
- 3:15Speaker 1: And that was the nightcap after the Boston Celtics gagged
- 3:20Speaker 1: at home against the Knickerbockers in overtime to a twenty
- 3:24Speaker 1: point lead in the final minutes of that game to
- 3:28Speaker 1: lose in overtime. So I, oh, okay, that'll be the lead.
- 3:30Speaker 1: And then no, no, no, no, the Nuggets and Thunder
- 3:33Speaker 1: got together and upset City as Nikola Jokic had forty
- 3:40Speaker 1: two points, twenty two rebounds, a partridge in a pear tree,
- 3:43Speaker 1: and Aaron Garden from Downtown Dagger the three point shot
- 3:49Speaker 1: there in the closing seconds, and the Nuggets with a
- 3:54Speaker 1: mind blowing one is that two dramatic mind blowing They
- 3:58Speaker 1: win by two. They come back over the top seeded
- 4:01Speaker 1: Thunder there in the late game on Monday night, So
- 4:06Speaker 1: Oklahoma City was out of timeouts after Gordon hit the
- 4:09Speaker 1: three point shot, they missed a desperation heave as time expired,
- 4:14Speaker 1: turn out the last the party's over, just like that.
- 4:19Speaker 1: And so Gordon at twenty two points, fourteen rebounds, that's
- 4:23Speaker 1: a decent I'd rather lose on a three point shot
- 4:26Speaker 1: than a dunk like the Clippers lost to the Nuggets
- 4:29Speaker 1: on right at the buzzer. But Gordon the game winner again.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Jamal Murray, who was spotty, was spotty in this game
- 4:35Speaker 1: at twenty one points, and so the four seed the
- 4:38Speaker 1: Nuggets get home court. Game two will be on Wednesday
- 4:42Speaker 1: back in the Sooner state. I know you're excited about that,
- 4:46Speaker 1: but the better store is in the losing locker room,
- 4:49Speaker 1: so that is where we will begin this rant and
- 4:52Speaker 1: rave in the night. So let us discuss the question,
- 4:55Speaker 1: despite dropping thirty three points thirty three, how much of
- 5:02Speaker 1: the blame does shake gilgis Alexander deserve for OKC in
- 5:08Speaker 1: this one. So I've got Planet Fitness, CDC approved, and
- 5:13Speaker 1: West Virginia and we will combine all of these things
- 5:17Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some blooney because
- 5:22Speaker 1: the thunder were full of blooney the way they played
- 5:27Speaker 1: in the final minutes of this particular game. So the
- 5:29Speaker 1: anatomy of a rally, I've often pointed out that most
- 5:35Speaker 1: games are lost, not one. So to answer the question,
- 5:39Speaker 1: despite having thirty three points SGA, how much of the
- 5:43Speaker 1: blame does he deserve? Quite a bit, quite a bit
- 5:46Speaker 1: of the blame blooney, quite a bit of the blame
- 5:49Speaker 1: bloonee for Oklahoma City. You're the headliner, you're the face
- 5:52Speaker 1: of the franchise. Blah blah blah blah blah. De facto MVP. Right,
- 5:55Speaker 1: he's gonna win the MVP award. Be very surprising if
- 5:57Speaker 1: he doesn't win the MVP Award. Here for the regular season,
- 6:01Speaker 1: and all of that stuff is deserved, All of it
- 6:03Speaker 1: is deserved. Had a fine year, was great, Oklahoma City
- 6:07Speaker 1: won a bunch of games and all that. But in
- 6:09Speaker 1: this moment, I learned this from Stanley. You've got to
- 6:14Speaker 1: go Spider Man. With great power comes great responsibility. And
- 6:18Speaker 1: if you're all that good stuff, you're the MVP or
- 6:21Speaker 1: the face of the franchise. YadA, YadA, YadA YadA. That
- 6:25Speaker 1: means in the final minutes, you get it done, you
- 6:29Speaker 1: get the job done. Did he do that? No, he
- 6:32Speaker 1: did not get the job done. You put you don't
- 6:34Speaker 1: put the team on your back, and you're gonna get
- 6:37Speaker 1: called out on it, and he didn't shake yogas Alexander
- 6:40Speaker 1: in this particular situation did not step up and crunch
- 6:43Speaker 1: time instead of going out to Planet Fitness and lifting
- 6:47Speaker 1: weights and putting the team on your back and all
- 6:49Speaker 1: that stuff. He's like, you know what, I'm gonna go
- 6:50Speaker 1: hit the hay and take a snooze. I'm gonna catch
- 6:54Speaker 1: some z's is what I'm going to do. Now, what
- 6:56Speaker 1: is my evidence? Down the stretch. If you look at
- 7:00Speaker 1: the final part of the game, SGA took six shots.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Now the game was blown in the final six thirty
- 7:05Speaker 1: nine or so of the game as Denver was able
- 7:09Speaker 1: to outscore the opposition to close the game, and they
- 7:14Speaker 1: also going by fifteen down the stretch. It was a
- 7:16Speaker 1: domination situation to close out the game. So the question becomes, Okay,
- 7:24Speaker 1: you're Sagios Alexander the thunder as a team shot twenty
- 7:28Speaker 1: eight percent. But he was He's the MVP, right, he's
- 7:31Speaker 1: the guy he had nine points but got outscored by
- 7:34Speaker 1: his rifle. I know they play a different position, but
- 7:37Speaker 1: the joker Nikole Jokic had sixteen and so your you're
- 7:42Speaker 1: minus seven in the head to head MVP MVP guy,
- 7:46Speaker 1: and so you lose by two. You can do the
- 7:48Speaker 1: math on that. You don't need me to do the
- 7:49Speaker 1: male of the math. Denver also shot sixty two percent
- 7:54Speaker 1: to close out the game, and it was a collective
- 7:58Speaker 1: suck though. To be totally, Shaye deserves the lions share
- 8:02Speaker 1: of the blame because he's supposed to be the greatest
- 8:04Speaker 1: player in basketball this year. I need to play like it.
- 8:07Speaker 1: But you look around and the other suck bag players
- 8:10Speaker 1: for Oklahoma City. You've got Chet Holmgren, who was like
- 8:15Speaker 1: a Walmart greeter, leaving the door open for Denver as
- 8:19Speaker 1: he missed not one, but two big free throws. Nobody
- 8:23Speaker 1: guarding you, there's no one guarding you, has to play.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Anyone that can make It's the only play I can
- 8:29Speaker 1: think of in team sports that anyone can can do
- 8:34Speaker 1: at a professional level. Make a foul shot in a game.
- 8:37Speaker 1: There's no one that's going to block you. No one
- 8:40Speaker 1: is going to take the ball from you. You stand
- 8:43Speaker 1: at the line, everyone's standing around watching you. You just
- 8:46Speaker 1: hold the ball, dribble, dribble shoot in this case, dribble
- 8:49Speaker 1: dribble clank, clank, clank, clank me. So that that allowed
- 8:57Speaker 1: as the Walmart greet chet Holmgren that allowed the Nuggets
- 9:00Speaker 1: to get the ball out and then the game winning
- 9:03Speaker 1: shot at the end by Aaron Gordon, so that that
- 9:08Speaker 1: allowed it at the bitter end. There and the thunder
- 9:12Speaker 1: who were either number one or number two in just
- 9:14Speaker 1: about every defensive category in pro bouncy ball this year.
- 9:19Speaker 1: How do they play in the second half? Let's see
- 9:21Speaker 1: here a Denver shot fifty percent in the second half
- 9:24Speaker 1: and scored seventy one points in the final twenty four minutes.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Outstanding defense, boys, way to go, way to shut him down.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Good job by you. Yikes. All right, now, what does
- 9:37Speaker 1: this win We'll go to the other side, page two.
- 9:39Speaker 1: What does this win now do for the Nikola Jokic
- 9:42Speaker 1: Nuggets as they get the game one wins us best
- 9:47Speaker 1: of seven. It's only one game and all that stuff,
- 9:49Speaker 1: But you obviously set the tone. Doesn't guarantee anything. There
- 9:52Speaker 1: is no such thing as momentum. It's not like now
- 9:55Speaker 1: Denver is gonna win the next three games in oh,
- 9:56Speaker 1: they have all the momentum. That is bull crap. You
- 9:59Speaker 1: know it's bull crap, So you don't have to worry
- 10:00Speaker 1: about that. However, it gives you the upper hand, and
- 10:04Speaker 1: especially in a series like this, well, you've got one
- 10:06Speaker 1: team that has players that have had success in the
- 10:09Speaker 1: playoffs and you've got another team with a bunch of
- 10:11Speaker 1: your bronis in Oklahoma City when it comes to the playoffs.
- 10:14Speaker 1: And so it's a CDC approved booster shot for Denver, right,
- 10:20Speaker 1: It's a booster shot helps keep the immunity level up.
- 10:23Speaker 1: And more importantly, what it does is it is not
- 10:27Speaker 1: so much the confidence. I don't think Denver needs any
- 10:29Speaker 1: confidence per se. They're a proud, hearty bunch and all
- 10:33Speaker 1: that stuff. But what this does is mess with the
- 10:37Speaker 1: mojo of OKAC And that's the key here, right. Many
- 10:41Speaker 1: have pointed out that's a fragile team. That is a
- 10:44Speaker 1: team that has been lampooned by many Oklahoma City as
- 10:50Speaker 1: a paper tiger. They're a paper tiger, right, They're just
- 10:54Speaker 1: a bit of a fraud regular season team, not built
- 10:57Speaker 1: for the big moment and all that. And in Game
- 11:00Speaker 1: one of this series, they absolutely proved that. They absolutely
- 11:04Speaker 1: proved that is the case. And so you can expect
- 11:08Speaker 1: that Oklahoma City, what are they gonna do now? They're
- 11:11Speaker 1: gonna have to go back and the coach is gonna
- 11:13Speaker 1: start tinkering a little bit, say what did we do wrong?
- 11:16Speaker 1: Who ft up? And now they have that extra pressure
- 11:20Speaker 1: but a capital P and oh man. Now, it has
- 11:23Speaker 1: been said by many that pressure is a privilege, right,
- 11:26Speaker 1: and that is true. It is also a double edged sword.
- 11:30Speaker 1: It is a double edged sword. And it's one of
- 11:32Speaker 1: the fun things about the plaus We don't really care
- 11:33Speaker 1: much about the regular season in the NBA, but in
- 11:35Speaker 1: the playoffs in all sports, it's whose rises to the occasion. Right,
- 11:39Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you've done in the past, is
- 11:41Speaker 1: what you do in that moment and rising the pressure
- 11:46Speaker 1: of the moment. And it's one of those things, right,
- 11:48Speaker 1: you talk about the pressure, capital P and all that
- 11:50Speaker 1: and pressure, as we've talked about in recent days. Pipe
- 11:54Speaker 1: pipes burst from pressure, right, pipes burst kaboom from pressure. Also,
- 12:00Speaker 1: diamonds are made from pressure. So will you be a
- 12:03Speaker 1: diamond or will you be a pipe? And at this
- 12:07Speaker 1: moment we do the show right now tonight, at this moment,
- 12:10Speaker 1: the thunder are the pipe and Denver is the diamond
- 12:16Speaker 1: at this particular moment in time. And as far as
- 12:19Speaker 1: the bigger story just side by side for the Nuggets,
- 12:23Speaker 1: is it the Nicole jokicic forty two point twenty two
- 12:27Speaker 1: rebound performance or is it the clutch Aaron Gordon game
- 12:32Speaker 1: winning basket. So I have an unpopular opinion. As good
- 12:35Speaker 1: as Jokich was, he set the Nuggets up, but without
- 12:39Speaker 1: the final dagger, it doesn't work out. Without the shot,
- 12:43Speaker 1: the game winning shot, obviously the math doesn't work out,
- 12:47Speaker 1: and the Nuggets would have lost. And said, ah, Jokis
- 12:49Speaker 1: played as well as you could possibly play, and Denver
- 12:51Speaker 1: still lost the game. Boohoo. If that's a brick house,
- 12:55Speaker 1: We're in a parallel dimension. We're doing a much different
- 12:58Speaker 1: mallor monologue about how lucky Oklahoma City is that they
- 13:01Speaker 1: won this game, and how Denver we know what would
- 13:05Speaker 1: have been said if that shot had been missed, We
- 13:06Speaker 1: know how that would have gone. Well, it's because of fatigue.
- 13:09Speaker 1: They were exhausted. Give the Nuggets a break. I would
- 13:13Speaker 1: like to address that pet peep. I realized that I'm
- 13:17Speaker 1: wired a little differently than a lot of the other
- 13:19Speaker 1: gas bags and blowhards. But this is a pet peep.
- 13:21Speaker 1: So I'm watching all these games, I'm sitting on my ass,
- 13:23Speaker 1: should be doing something more productive, but it's part of
- 13:26Speaker 1: the job so fine. I'm watching these games and we
- 13:29Speaker 1: are three games in now to the second round of
- 13:32Speaker 1: the NBA plus, And if you've paid any attention, there
- 13:34Speaker 1: is a common theme that has taking place early on
- 13:38Speaker 1: in every one of these games. You got Cleveland, Boston,
- 13:43Speaker 1: and Oklahoma City who all lost, all of them losing
- 13:49Speaker 1: at home.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Right.
- 13:50Speaker 1: And the other hand, you've got Indiana, New York, and
- 13:53Speaker 1: Denver with little rest, with little time off, and they
- 13:58Speaker 1: are all in the winners circle, all of them. Right.
- 14:00Speaker 1: So does this postseason prove does it prove that that
- 14:06Speaker 1: extra rest is a killer, because in these broadcasts they
- 14:10Speaker 1: were all laying it on extra, extra surupy, extra surupy.
- 14:15Speaker 1: But does this postseason, three games into the second round
- 14:18Speaker 1: prove that the extra rest in the NBA kills the mojo,
- 14:24Speaker 1: kills it when you need it most. So I think
- 14:28Speaker 1: this is a lame conversation. I will engage in it
- 14:32Speaker 1: mainly to goof on the common theme among NBA broadcasters.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Very small sample size, right, that's important to mention, very
- 14:40Speaker 1: small sample size. And this changes by the year. We've
- 14:44Speaker 1: had this conversation. In the baseball playoffs, we've had this
- 14:47Speaker 1: conversation that would you rather have the top seed and
- 14:51Speaker 1: have that first round by or would you rather be
- 14:53Speaker 1: in the wild card round? And typically it's one of
- 14:57Speaker 1: those self fulfilling prophecies where if a team does well
- 15:00Speaker 1: when they have played in the wild card round and
- 15:03Speaker 1: not had time off, you say, well, that's what you want.
- 15:05Speaker 1: You want to know time off. And then if a
- 15:07Speaker 1: team on the other side does well with the rest,
- 15:11Speaker 1: you say, okay, like the Dodgers last year and the
- 15:13Speaker 1: Yankees both had time off and they both got to
- 15:17Speaker 1: the World Series. Dodgers end up winning the World Series
- 15:18Speaker 1: in baseball. But this NBA conversation the broadcasters, I wanted
- 15:23Speaker 1: to throw something at my TV. Now, the only broadcast
- 15:25Speaker 1: I always mute is the Doris Burke broadcast, So whatever
- 15:28Speaker 1: game she's doing, I mute. But other than that, I
- 15:29Speaker 1: normally have the audio up. Sometimes I turn it down
- 15:32Speaker 1: a little bit. But the theme was, oh man, these
- 15:37Speaker 1: Pacers and the Knicks and the Nuggets, the teams that
- 15:40Speaker 1: were playing on short rest. It was like they were
- 15:43Speaker 1: in West Virginia and they were working in coal mines
- 15:47Speaker 1: back in the seventies in West Virginia. Right cue the
- 15:50Speaker 1: John Denver song take Me Home Country Roads. Right as
- 15:54Speaker 1: I heard that, I was like, oh my god, these guys.
- 15:56Speaker 1: It is oppressive. It is like there is some kind
- 15:59Speaker 1: of slave lake camp they're playing in the NBA and
- 16:02Speaker 1: they only had less than forty eight hours. Oh my god, nightmere,
- 16:06Speaker 1: Oh holy fatigue, batman. It's like you can see the
- 16:11Speaker 1: Blue Ridge Mountains in the Shenandoah River, just like the
- 16:15Speaker 1: John Denver saw, Like, what is going on here? Somebody
- 16:18Speaker 1: get these guys some oxygen and an IV. These NBA players,
- 16:22Speaker 1: God forbid you play it forty eight minute game. It
- 16:24Speaker 1: takes two and a half hours because every five minutes
- 16:27Speaker 1: the damn referees are going over to check out the
- 16:29Speaker 1: damn replay to look at something. Who cares. That's the NBA, right,
- 16:34Speaker 1: that's going on? Right, no clear path foul. Okay, that
- 16:38Speaker 1: does not rise to the level of a flagrant. Thank you,
- 16:41Speaker 1: Thanks for taking seven minutes of my life to decide that.
- 16:45Speaker 1: God Anyway, here's the way it works in the NBA.
- 16:49Speaker 1: There is an excuse. Every night, every single game, there's
- 16:53Speaker 1: an excuse. And since the home teams this season have
- 16:57Speaker 1: all lost and Golden State will test the final leg
- 17:01Speaker 1: of this theory. The Warriors off short rest will take
- 17:05Speaker 1: on Minnesota, which had a little extra time. So if
- 17:08Speaker 1: the Warriors win, all man be prepared, be prepared. But
- 17:12Speaker 1: since the home teams so far have all lost, I
- 17:15Speaker 1: can garrong take guarantee that since this is after the fact,
- 17:20Speaker 1: every excuse maker is gonna pivot they instead of the
- 17:25Speaker 1: storyline which was supposed to be all I can't believe it.
- 17:28Speaker 1: It's unreal, all of this time with with these teams rested,
- 17:34Speaker 1: and since the teams that were rested lost, they're gonna
- 17:36Speaker 1: pivot and say it's not right. Russ Russ, Russ Russ
- 17:38Speaker 1: makes me want to puke in my mouth. All right,

- 20:11Speaker 1: and your comments can't and we'll be used against you
- 20:15Speaker 1: in the court of sports talk radio. Back to it
- 20:18Speaker 1: we go, all right, back to it and good night,
- 20:21Speaker 1: good night here as Denver and the Knickerbockers both get
- 20:26Speaker 1: or done on the NBA playoff cards. So all the
- 20:30Speaker 1: road teams are victorious to start the second round of
- 20:34Speaker 1: the playoffs. There's one more second round game to begin
- 20:38Speaker 1: Game one, and that's Minnesota and Golden State, and so
- 20:42Speaker 1: that is up next. Fer Dog right since says I
- 20:44Speaker 1: am not surprised the Nuggets stole Game one. Diamond sharpens
- 20:49Speaker 1: diamond after getting past the buzz saw that is the Clippers.
- 20:54Speaker 1: The Nuggies are playing the best ball of their lives,
- 20:58Speaker 1: the only team that can maybe start them as Gunner's Wolves,
- 21:02Speaker 1: says Fergno, what else do we have? Let's see here,
- 21:06Speaker 1: Ed Wright, since says ed Fremin is that fast, fast
- 21:10Speaker 1: Eddie from man. He says, Celtics deserve all the blame.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Sixty threes. Yeah, that's how they always play. They always
- 21:17Speaker 1: play that way, man, all right, Femi in Minnesota right
- 21:23Speaker 1: since has been the thunder lost at the Buzzer by
- 21:26Speaker 1: two points. How are they paper tigers? Everybody can't be
- 21:29Speaker 1: as good as the Timberwolves. I'll tell you how. Why
- 21:32Speaker 1: femy They had a thirteen point lead in half a
- 21:36Speaker 1: quarter to go and they lost. They blew a thirteen
- 21:40Speaker 1: point lead at home and shot less than thirty percent
- 21:44Speaker 1: to close the game. That's how. That's how I can
- 21:47Speaker 1: say that gunner from the Walmart in northern Minnesota, way
- 21:52Speaker 1: past the luth says, I am going to guarantee we
- 21:55Speaker 1: are going to win. He now apparently works for the Timberwolves.
- 21:58Speaker 1: Ant Man is locked in playoff mode, so he says, well,
- 22:03Speaker 1: what else do we have? Page down? See can't read that.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Let's go to Let's go to Darius, who was apparently
- 22:12Speaker 1: at the game in Oklahoma City. They're the Denver, Okay
- 22:17Speaker 1: see game. Hello Darius, Welcome.
- 22:19Speaker 5: He's been. How's it been?
- 22:22Speaker 1: Uh? If I was any better, I probably sleeping. But no,
- 22:27Speaker 1: so you're at the game. You stay, You stayed to
- 22:30Speaker 1: the bitter end. You didn't leave early, did you?
- 22:32Speaker 4: No? No? No, because you know I thought we were
- 22:35Speaker 4: gonna pull out towards the end. But you know, just uh,
- 22:39Speaker 4: some very bad plays, very bad calls throughout the game
- 22:43Speaker 4: or more so in the second half.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Are you blaming the referees theres It sounds like you're
- 22:48Speaker 1: blaming the officials.
- 22:49Speaker 4: I'm blaming him a little bit.
- 22:52Speaker 1: Come on, come on, you guys.
- 22:54Speaker 4: Look look, if you watch the like the last like
- 22:57Speaker 4: three minutes, most of their points came from free throws.
- 23:00Speaker 4: It stopped the thunders a drive towards the end. I
- 23:05Speaker 4: mean the free throws killed them.
- 23:08Speaker 1: Yeah, well it would also the game would have not
- 23:12Speaker 1: ended had your guy made the foul shots there. Homebreak
- 23:16Speaker 1: he makes them?
- 23:17Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I better not see a home break
- 23:19Speaker 4: coming out the gym. You better go straight to the
- 23:22Speaker 4: gym to the game. That's how that that that's the
- 23:26Speaker 4: only way I can see him out in public.
- 23:29Speaker 1: Now look at that. He's gotta he's gotta be in hiding.
- 23:31Speaker 1: He's gotta he's gotta go, like put a bag on
- 23:34Speaker 1: his head or something like that. I don't know, but
- 23:35Speaker 1: that's uh, that's that's pretty bad. But outscored. Was it
- 23:39Speaker 1: twenty six to thirteen or something like that? I think
- 23:42Speaker 1: it was worse than that. Actually to close the game
- 23:44Speaker 1: and just couldn't make a shot, and it's like.
- 23:46Speaker 4: No, no, yeah, I mean like the free throws the Reds.
- 23:50Speaker 4: I mean, if it was like, uh, it got to
- 23:52Speaker 4: a point where it would just stop the thunderstrive right, Well, at.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Least you got a T shirt out of the deal.
- 23:58Speaker 1: I saw everyone wearing T shirts.
- 24:00Speaker 4: Man, it would be come a little bit better with
- 24:04Speaker 4: the w But it's well, I mean I think we're
- 24:07Speaker 4: still going to take the series.
- 24:09Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, I.
- 24:10Speaker 4: Think when it comes to the rest time between these teams,
- 24:14Speaker 4: like we're saying before, I think it does have an effect.
- 24:18Speaker 1: No, I don't think that is the reason that the
- 24:20Speaker 1: Thunder lost the game.
- 24:21Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, it's not.
- 24:23Speaker 4: But also I mean it does affect.
- 24:25Speaker 1: How maybe for five minutes in the first quarter, but
- 24:29Speaker 1: you had the lead.
- 24:30Speaker 4: You can't give me.
- 24:32Speaker 1: And the only the only team that really got blitzed
- 24:36Speaker 1: was the Cavaliders, and they even came back in the
- 24:39Speaker 1: fourth quarter Like this Celtics had a twenty point lead
- 24:42Speaker 1: in their game and blew it. The Thunder had a
- 24:44Speaker 1: thirteen point lead and blew it down the stretch. So
- 24:47Speaker 1: it's like, well, maybe I'll give you. Like the first
- 24:50Speaker 1: five minutes of the first quarter, you're trying to get
- 24:52Speaker 1: yourself back into the right mojo. But after that, I'm
- 24:56Speaker 1: not going to give that to you.
- 24:58Speaker 4: I can't know they played well. Then you had the rest.
- 25:00Speaker 4: I mean there was one challenge call where it was
- 25:03Speaker 4: called on SGA you know, just grab the rebound and
- 25:07Speaker 4: then he yoga put his head up or he blocked
- 25:12Speaker 4: and then you know, there there's no way that that
- 25:15Speaker 4: was called a foul. And then the fact that they
- 25:18Speaker 4: reviewed it and they didn't make it successful.
- 25:24Speaker 1: All right, well listen the you know, no, no pity
- 25:26Speaker 1: party go and what what's what's.
- 25:29Speaker 4: The point of having this playoff setting if you're going
- 25:35Speaker 4: to get away with that type of boul calls?
- 25:38Speaker 1: Okay, but again, you shot less than thirty percent. It's
- 25:41Speaker 1: not the officials were not blocking the thunder shots at
- 25:44Speaker 1: the end of the game. I mean, you just couldn't
- 25:45Speaker 1: make a You couldn't make shots in the final five
- 25:48Speaker 1: minutes or six minutes of the game. All Right, I
- 25:49Speaker 1: gotta thank you, Darius, and I help you. I don't
- 25:52Speaker 1: know how much you enjoyed it. You didn't enjoy the outcome.
- 25:56Speaker 1: My god, big rig Rob rights and says Ben, how
- 25:59Speaker 1: in the world do you call yourself a pro bouncy
- 26:01Speaker 1: ball player? And blow a twenty point lead to the Knicks.
- 26:05Speaker 1: Shame on the Clovers. I guess even a blind Scott
- 26:10Speaker 1: gets a nut every now and then. Okasey is fake news.

- 29:50Speaker 1: still he's in therapy because the Lakers was looping. He
- 29:53Speaker 1: bet ten thousand dollars in the Lakers to beat Minnesota

- 30:24Speaker 1: only a three hour show. We'll check out after that,
- 30:28Speaker 1: unless we don't. You see the other hours, A mystery hour,
- 30:32Speaker 1: the hour of mystery. What do you think this is interesting?
- 30:36Speaker 1: What do you think the hour four lead monologue will
- 30:39Speaker 1: be Ferg Dog and rest of the Malard militia. You
- 30:43Speaker 1: can say, I wonder what do you think it will be?
- 30:45Speaker 1: I didn't put it in there, but there will be
- 30:47Speaker 1: something that will be there. So I love this story.
- 30:51Speaker 1: This sums up the NBA postseason beautifully, beautifully. So let's
- 30:58Speaker 1: take you back to the game in Oklahoma City, the
- 31:02Speaker 1: Nuggets and the Thunder and down the stretch we come
- 31:07Speaker 1: and there was some drama. Now we know that the
- 31:11Speaker 1: Nuggets won the game on a clutch three point shot,
- 31:15Speaker 1: essentially with just a couple seconds to go in the game.
- 31:19Speaker 1: But the setup on that when the thunder chet Holmgan
- 31:23Speaker 1: missed two foul shots, the Nuggets got the ball and
- 31:27Speaker 1: taking the ball down the court was Russell Westbrook. So
- 31:31Speaker 1: there was a camera in studio where the Nugget broadcasters
- 31:35Speaker 1: were getting ready to do the postgame, and they had
- 31:38Speaker 1: the game on and it was do we have the audio?
- 31:44Speaker 1: I think we have the audio, So check this out.
- 31:46Speaker 1: This is just imagine your head. Nuggets broadcasters in Denver
- 31:51Speaker 1: watching the game on TV, getting ready to go on television,
- 31:54Speaker 1: and the Nuggets have the ball. Russell Westbrook's dribbling the
- 31:57Speaker 1: ball and listen to how it sounded.
- 32:01Speaker 5: No no, no, no no, yeah, no no, man.
- 32:19Speaker 1: Yeah. The reason it's more of a visual thing that
- 32:22Speaker 1: the audio is good. But when they were saying no, no, no, no, no,
- 32:25Speaker 1: it's because Russell Westbrook was dribbling with the ball going
- 32:28Speaker 1: to the basket and they were like, no, holy no, no,
- 32:33Speaker 1: sweet Moses, don't do that. What are you doing? Oh
- 32:36Speaker 1: my god? And then he paid past. See, they all
- 32:43Speaker 1: know the real Russell Westbrook. They all know that is
- 32:46Speaker 1: west Brick, and they absolutely know that is west Brick.
- 32:50Speaker 1: And they wanted none of that smoke. They wanted none
- 32:54Speaker 1: of that smoke for sure, that one.
- 32:59Speaker 6: Jeez.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Alright, oh man, all right, it is the Ben Mahler Show.

- 33:12Speaker 1: So there have only been three players to score seventy
- 33:16Speaker 1: five or more fourth quarter points for their first seven

- 38:08Speaker 6: on the monologue.
- 38:09Speaker 1: That was more than a passing grade, sir. That was

- 38:15Speaker 6: How dare you you actually gave the Nuggets some props
- 38:18Speaker 6: for going into OKC and taking Game one.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Well, I didn't get too carried away, Yeah I did not,
- 38:23Speaker 1: But they played list And it's nice to see a
- 38:26Speaker 1: team that doesn't quit when they fall behind. The Nuggets
- 38:29Speaker 1: could have easily just thrown in the towel there. I've
- 38:32Speaker 1: seen a team do that recently when they fall behind.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Rather than push back, they just give up. And the
- 38:37Speaker 1: Nuggets didn't do that. So it's amazing what happens when
- 38:39Speaker 1: you use perseverance, Jeff, and you don't just you just
- 38:42Speaker 1: don't play like gutless quitters.
- 38:45Speaker 6: Well, the slogan ever since we won the slogan for
- 38:49Speaker 6: twenty twenty three on the locals talk around here with
- 38:52Speaker 6: stay the Course.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Well, that's a fine slogan. It this proves that coaching
- 38:57Speaker 1: does not matter. Right, As a buddy of mine pointed out,
- 38:59Speaker 1: You're coach looks like Edward E. Newman. I mean, my god,
- 39:03Speaker 1: uh he he has no credit. You should just not
- 39:07Speaker 1: even have a coach. The Nugget should just go out there.
- 39:09Speaker 1: It seems like Jokic is doing most of the coaching anyway,
- 39:12Speaker 1: Just have him be the coach.
- 39:14Speaker 6: Well, they do like the guy and in the locker room.
- 39:17Speaker 6: They showed me in the locker room speech and he
- 39:19Speaker 6: was like, you know, you guys, stuck with it. And
- 39:22Speaker 6: but he did say the last thing he said was like, uh,
- 39:25Speaker 6: news flash. That game.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Well yes, but you know, keep in mind, it's much
- 39:30Speaker 1: like I don't know what you your what your job
- 39:32Speaker 1: is or whatever. I have meetings at my job. We
- 39:34Speaker 1: always pretend like we're paying attention just to the boss,
- 39:36Speaker 1: and then we we want to get out of there.
- 39:38Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure it's no different in the NBA.
- 39:40Speaker 1: They have a meeting, they want to get the damn
- 39:41Speaker 1: thing over with. So whatever the coach says, Okay, raw, Raw,
- 39:44Speaker 1: let's get the hell out of here. We're done.
- 39:49Speaker 6: For that last play with the Westbrook and he made
- 39:53Speaker 6: the right play, made the right play.
- 39:56Speaker 1: That proves that I'm right, My take was correct. That
- 39:59Speaker 1: my take that you don't want Westbrook shooting your own.
- 40:02Speaker 1: Broadcasters for the Nuggets, Jeff were saying no, no, no.
- 40:07Speaker 1: As Westbrook was driving to the basket. There was a no, no, no,
- 40:12Speaker 1: because they know they know the truth about Westbrook.
- 40:17Speaker 6: But you've gotta be you got you gotta admit you
- 40:19Speaker 6: were wrong about Harden the other night, though he choked in.
- 40:23Speaker 1: I know. Let the record show. The Nuggets just won
- 40:27Speaker 1: a second round playoff game over Oklahoma City on a
- 40:30Speaker 1: game winning three point shot, and Jeff from Denver is
- 40:33Speaker 1: still talking clips because the clips matter. They moved the needle.
- 40:37Speaker 2: We moved on.
- 40:38Speaker 1: We brought it up there. They're in your head. They're
- 40:41Speaker 1: in your head. Jeff, you deliver yourself. Jeff, this is
- 40:44Speaker 1: on you. I talked about the Nuggets in the thunder.
- 40:46Speaker 1: I didn't mention the Clippers. Listen, that's on you, Jeff. Dude, Jeff,
- 40:50Speaker 1: you're a Clipper fan. You're deep down you like the Clippers.
- 40:53Speaker 1: You love the Clippers, and say my name is Jeff
- 40:55Speaker 1: and I love the Clippers.
- 40:57Speaker 6: Say it, my name is Jeff and I love Then.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Now you don't you called up after one of the
- 41:02Speaker 1: great Nugget playoff wins to talk about the Clippers. You
- 41:07Speaker 1: know why it's hip to clip. That's why
