- 0:14Speaker 1: back at the NBA playoff activity over the weekend, can
- 0:18Speaker 1: you explain what's wrong with Paulo Boncro's Orlando magic in
- 0:23Speaker 1: the playoffs as they were eliminated in Game seven blowing
- 0:27Speaker 1: a three games to one lead over the Pistons. Also,
- 0:30Speaker 1: is the glass half full or half empty for the
- 0:34Speaker 1: Spider Mitchell Cavaliers as they were able to take down
- 0:38Speaker 1: Toronto and advance to take on the Pistons in the
- 0:41Speaker 1: NBA playoffs. Not a lot of style points for the
- 0:44Speaker 1: team from Northern Ohio. And how does Celtics start Jalen
- 0:48Speaker 1: Brown come across with his grumbling over the NBA referees,
- 0:54Speaker 1: a grand conspiracy to keep the man down. We'll talk
- 0:57Speaker 1: about that as well. All of it's coming right now here.
- 1:00Speaker 1: It is our number one. Well, they say Game seven
- 1:09Speaker 1: the greatest thing in the world of sports. Well not always.
- 1:12Speaker 1: They don't turn out that great sometimes. Welcome in the
- 1:17Speaker 1: beginning of another week of the Bain Malord Show. We
- 1:22Speaker 1: are in the air. M rewere as we chisel away
- 1:29Speaker 1: at time, but we're really just background noise when you
- 1:33Speaker 1: think about it. Coast to coast, border, the border and
- 1:36Speaker 1: beyond on the vast and prodigiously powerful microphones of fs
- 1:42Speaker 1: are emmundating live do it lie from the Hammer the
- 1:47Speaker 1: Hammer Dunk of sports takes as we hang out together.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Here gearon teed Human from the world famous Fox Sports
- 1:57Speaker 2: Radio studios, where j d in Boston and Perito remind
- 2:04Speaker 2: us of this hour to kick.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Off the new week, made possible in part by our
- 2:07Speaker 1: friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq
- 2:10Speaker 1: has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
- 2:14Speaker 1: what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
- 2:17Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options, which
- 2:20Speaker 1: makes alf Fergdog and malarpop Guy very happy. Like mobile tireinstallation,
- 2:27Speaker 1: tire raq dot com the way that tire buying should be.
- 2:30Speaker 1: And we are back at it starting the brand new
- 2:33Speaker 1: week here and a lot of random activity to discuss.
- 2:38Speaker 1: But we begin the new week with a topic of conversations.
- 2:42Speaker 1: I know many of you love so much. You said,
- 2:43Speaker 1: I need more of it, Ben, Give me more, give
- 2:46Speaker 1: me more, give me more, give me more.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Uh.
- 2:48Speaker 1: That would be pro bouncy ball. That's right. We'll start
- 2:52Speaker 1: out in Motown. We'll start out in the state of
- 2:55Speaker 1: Michigan where Cade cutting him who had a hiccup. He
- 2:58Speaker 1: had a clitch his game earlier in the series, kept
- 3:01Speaker 1: turning the ball over. Well, that'll all be forgotten. Cutting
- 3:04Speaker 1: him with thirty two points, filling up the box score
- 3:07Speaker 1: thirty two points, twelve assists, and a partridge in the paratree.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Tobias Harris journeyman. Tobias Harris had thirty points. The Pistons
- 3:17Speaker 1: make the magic disappear. Nana na da, good bye, I
- 3:22Speaker 1: see it later. Orlando out of the playoffs, won sixteen
- 3:26Speaker 1: to ninety four in Game seven on Sunday. So that
- 3:30Speaker 1: means that the Pistons have won a playoff series. If
- 3:33Speaker 1: you're eighteen years old, this is like the first time
- 3:35Speaker 1: pretty much in your lifetime, they've won a playoff series.
- 3:38Speaker 1: It had been eighteen years the last time. How's that
- 3:40Speaker 1: possible that they had won a playoff series? But there
- 3:43Speaker 1: we are in cutting him thirty two points. He averaged
- 3:47Speaker 1: thirty two point four points per game for Detroit in
- 3:51Speaker 1: this series. And they last won a postseason series against
- 3:54Speaker 1: the aforementioned Orlando Magic way back in eight barely a
- 4:01Speaker 1: memory of that. Barely a memory of that. And so
- 4:04Speaker 1: the Pistons now advanced, they will play the Cadavers in
- 4:07Speaker 1: game number one of that series that'll be coming up
- 4:11Speaker 1: on Tuesday. That would be tomorrow. I know it's still
- 4:15Speaker 1: late Sunday night in the West, but there'll be a
- 4:16Speaker 1: quiz on this, so it's late Sunday in the West,
- 4:18Speaker 1: but it's going to be early early on on on Tuesday,
- 4:22Speaker 1: which is tomorrow. So it's almost Monday, so that means tomorrow.
- 4:26Speaker 1: So there you go. The Pistons will take on the
- 4:29Speaker 1: team from Ohio. The better story though, is in the
- 4:32Speaker 1: losing locker room on this one, so we're gonna focus
- 4:34Speaker 1: on that. Where Paulo Boncherro was asked, he had a
- 4:39Speaker 1: big stat line. Was asked about the status of the
- 4:42Speaker 1: Magic franchise. They don't seem to do anything in the playoffs.
- 4:46Speaker 1: I've been in the playoffs a few times here recently
- 4:48Speaker 1: and they haven't really made any noise, made their mark
- 4:51Speaker 1: any of that. And he was seated there at the
- 4:54Speaker 1: postgame news conference on stage at the Dais and Bonchero
- 4:59Speaker 1: he paused a little bit before answering the question and
- 5:04Speaker 1: he was asked the question, he said, I want to
- 5:06Speaker 1: say yes. When asked the question, he said, but this
- 5:10Speaker 1: is the third straight time we haven't gotten out of
- 5:14Speaker 1: the first round. Bon Chero said, So if you're going
- 5:17Speaker 1: off the last three years, the answer is no talking
- 5:20Speaker 1: about whether or not the Magic can get it done
- 5:23Speaker 1: this group of players. So if this is going off
- 5:25Speaker 1: for the last three years, obviously not. I can't say
- 5:27Speaker 1: we're good enough to be in the finals of the
- 5:30Speaker 1: Eastern Finals, he said, because of the last three years
- 5:33Speaker 1: we've had the same results. So that's your answer. Okay,
- 5:37Speaker 1: thank you, good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Now,
- 5:42Speaker 1: here's the question. Can you explain what's wrong because we
- 5:45Speaker 1: have all the answers doing overnight talk radio, what is
- 5:47Speaker 1: wrong with Paul Boncero's Orlando Magic in the playoffs? Playoffs?
- 5:55Speaker 1: So on this one, we'll bounce around a little bit.
- 5:59Speaker 1: We've got co workers Warning Label and George Nori, and
- 6:04Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
- 6:10Speaker 1: are going to put the biscuit in the basket, is
- 6:12Speaker 1: what we're going to do. So a The Orlando Magic.
- 6:15Speaker 1: After a minutes long review of the available information I
- 6:18Speaker 1: have determined, and I'm never wrong about these things. The
- 6:20Speaker 1: Orlando Magic are not cursed. They are not cursed. Okay,
- 6:24Speaker 1: they're not. They're stuck in the worst possible place, the
- 6:28Speaker 1: worst possible place in sports, that mushy middle, that mushy,
- 6:33Speaker 1: mushy middle, that's where they are. That's where they are
- 6:35Speaker 1: landing metic are. They're not bad enough to bottom out.
- 6:37Speaker 1: They're not trying to bottom out. They did that a
- 6:40Speaker 1: few years ago. And they've got a bunch of players
- 6:43Speaker 1: that are high draftics. They traded five draft picks to
- 6:46Speaker 1: get Desmond Bain. Did anyone see him do anything good?
- 6:48Speaker 1: I didn't see anything in this game against the Pistons.
- 6:51Speaker 1: But in terms of the question, getting back to it,
- 6:54Speaker 1: they're in the middle. The Orlando Magic are in that
- 6:56Speaker 1: mushy middle. There and a sense. But the way I
- 7:01Speaker 1: interpreted what Bonchero said, he basically gave you the corporate
- 7:05Speaker 1: to prove truth, which is that the team is good,
- 7:10Speaker 1: they're just not that good. And that's the Magic in
- 7:13Speaker 1: a nutshell, they're good, they're just not that good. And
- 7:16Speaker 1: it's the Disney honesty. It's aid Disney honesty there from
- 7:20Speaker 1: a team that plays its home games down the road
- 7:22Speaker 1: from the Magic Castle there in Florida, and all that
- 7:25Speaker 1: their playoff identity. Here's the Orlando Magic playoff identity. They
- 7:29Speaker 1: had this series, they had a choke hold on it,
- 7:31Speaker 1: and they gave it all the worst Game seven. He said,
- 7:34Speaker 1: well that was bad Game six though. They were kicking
- 7:37Speaker 1: the tail of the Pistons and it all went to hell.
- 7:41Speaker 1: All of it went to hell. And their playoff entity identity.
- 7:44Speaker 1: They show up, the Orlando Magic. They show up, They
- 7:47Speaker 1: try hard, they lose very politely. They're very polite when
- 7:50Speaker 1: they lose, they're very polite. It's very important to be polite.
- 7:53Speaker 1: There's no closer. They don't appear to have that guy.
- 7:56Speaker 1: You're not that guy, pal, they don't have that assassin
- 7:59Speaker 1: out there. And it's a committee, it's a group project.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do it next year. Maybe we'll get it
- 8:05Speaker 1: done next year. That'll be what we do. We're gonna
- 8:07Speaker 1: get it done next year. And so they're not out
- 8:09Speaker 1: there as killers, the star players, the forever players that
- 8:13Speaker 1: the Magic got, Desmond Main and Aven bon Chero, and
- 8:17Speaker 1: it's like they're just kind of clocking in and out.
- 8:19Speaker 1: La la la la, la la la la la la
- 8:21Speaker 1: la la la la la la la. And when that happens,
- 8:25Speaker 1: all right, when that happens, you and I both know
- 8:28Speaker 1: what happens next. Say bye bye to the head coach.
- 8:33Speaker 1: You know that's gonna happen Jamal Moseley. There were rumors
- 8:35Speaker 1: that the players were at loggerheads with Mosley prior to
- 8:39Speaker 1: the series, and it was guaranteed he was gonna be out. Well,
- 8:42Speaker 1: now this cements it, and that's it. That's all she
- 8:45Speaker 1: wrote there. And you know he's hearing footsteps, Jamal Mosley,
- 8:49Speaker 1: the whispers, the friction behind the scenes and all that
- 8:53Speaker 1: for Orlando. So the the NBA, they try to sell hope.
- 8:57Speaker 1: They're big on hope. It's all about hope. We're selling hope, hope, hope, hope, hope.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Orlando sells lay away. It's it's like, well, we'll get
- 9:05Speaker 1: to it eventually. Just pay a little beach here, we'll
- 9:08Speaker 1: get to it eventually. Meanwhile, to Cleveland we go, where
- 9:11Speaker 1: the late game on the basketball card on Sunday, Jared
- 9:17Speaker 1: Allen getting it done. He tidy playoff career. I had
- 9:21Speaker 1: twenty two points and nineteen rebounds, and the Cleveland basketball
- 9:25Speaker 1: team advancing to the Eastern Conference semi finals, as they
- 9:29Speaker 1: win by twelve. The game, Toronto led early and then
- 9:33Speaker 1: they had to play the rest of the game, and
- 9:36Speaker 1: very early on the Raptors looked like they were in
- 9:39Speaker 1: good shape and then by halftime it was all tied up,
- 9:42Speaker 1: and then after that, forget about it. So that sets
- 9:46Speaker 1: things up. Donovan Mitchell was the big man on campus.
- 9:49Speaker 1: He had twenty two points, tied with Jared Allen for
- 9:52Speaker 1: the lead there. James Harden playoff. Harden did not play
- 9:56Speaker 1: that great. He had eighteen points, and so that's it's
- 10:00Speaker 1: Scottie Barnes face of the NBA, Scottie Barnes All Stars.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Scottie Barnes. He played well. He had twenty four points
- 10:08Speaker 1: for Toronto, nine rebounds.
- 10:10Speaker 3: R J.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Barrett twenty three as well for the Raptors, who were
- 10:14Speaker 1: in the playoffs for the first time way back in
- 10:16Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. I barely remember that also twenty twenty two.
- 10:20Speaker 1: So the question, let's focus in on the Cleveland side
- 10:24Speaker 1: of things here on this one, as they were one
- 10:26Speaker 1: of the better seeds in the East. They had a
- 10:28Speaker 1: lot of excitement when they got James Harden. I don't
- 10:31Speaker 1: know why he did and so the question is the
- 10:34Speaker 1: glass half full or is the glass half empty? For
- 10:40Speaker 1: the spider Mitchell calves all right, so you'd say, well,
- 10:46Speaker 1: they won, so it's half full. But I'd say no,
- 10:48Speaker 1: You'd say well it's half empty because they didn't play
- 10:50Speaker 1: that well. I'd say the answer is neither. I'm gonna
- 10:53Speaker 1: go with none of the above. The glass I'll put
- 10:55Speaker 1: it this way. The glass is not half full. It's
- 10:57Speaker 1: not half empty. It is cracked. The glass is it cracked,
- 11:02Speaker 1: it's leaking and somehow James Harden keeps dropping it while
- 11:07Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell goes over there and he's got some duct
- 11:10Speaker 1: tape and he's trying to put the thing back together
- 11:12Speaker 1: and all that. At this point, Cleveland's claim to fame
- 11:16Speaker 1: here the pro bouncy ball team in Cleveland is survivability
- 11:20Speaker 1: is what it is. They don't win clean then, were
- 11:24Speaker 1: any of these games just a surgical take that I
- 11:28Speaker 1: don't remember Maybe the first game. I don't feel like
- 11:31Speaker 1: that was the case, though. So they're able to survive
- 11:34Speaker 1: and escape and all that. And this Toronto series not
- 11:38Speaker 1: a victory lap. This was not some kind of statement
- 11:41Speaker 1: that was made said here we are, We're on our way.
- 11:44Speaker 1: This is not a statement situation at all. It was
- 11:48Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, okay, you won the series. Congratulations.
- 11:51Speaker 1: It's like crawling out of a bad escape room and
- 11:55Speaker 1: you have no clues left except one that you couldn't solve.
- 11:59Speaker 1: Why and you solve but I couldn't solve it. Well,
- 12:01Speaker 1: will you get back in there? What are you doing?
- 12:03Speaker 1: And so that's where a lot of turnovers. Ugly basketball,
- 12:08Speaker 1: shaky basketball, The shooting was not good, Defensive laps is
- 12:11Speaker 1: all over the place here, there, and everywhere. It's like
- 12:15Speaker 1: the greatest Hits album for the cadavers on bad habits
- 12:19Speaker 1: in this series. Yet they win. They did everything they
- 12:22Speaker 1: could to lose until the end, and then they pulled
- 12:24Speaker 1: that out Cleveland and they win the game. So it
- 12:27Speaker 1: does appear they are allergic to comfort. They do not
- 12:29Speaker 1: appreciate comfort here and you build the lead up and
- 12:32Speaker 1: immediately Pop goes the lead, just like that, Just like that,
- 12:38Speaker 1: Pop goes the lead like a cheap bubble wrap. Is
- 12:42Speaker 1: how that went. So if the Cavaliers, if they were
- 12:45Speaker 1: on Wall Street and you say, okay, what kind of
- 12:49Speaker 1: stock are they? Well, they're not a penny stock. They're
- 12:51Speaker 1: not a gold standard stock like a stock's been around forever.
- 12:56Speaker 1: You know it's gonna make your money. They're not that.
- 12:58Speaker 1: They'd be the stock that comes with the big black
- 13:01Speaker 1: and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow warning label volatile,
- 13:06Speaker 1: high risk. It's a high risk stock, emotional damage guaranteed.
- 13:10Speaker 1: So I keep hearing Championship Window. The Cavs are going
- 13:13Speaker 1: for it with James Harden. I did not see any
- 13:16Speaker 1: anything in this matchup that leads me to believe that
- 13:19Speaker 1: team is on their way to a magic carpet ride
- 13:21Speaker 1: the Cavaliers to go to the NBA Finals. I see nothing,
- 13:24Speaker 1: in fact, just the opposite. I see this is a
- 13:27Speaker 1: team that gonna be lucky if they get past the
- 13:28Speaker 1: Pistons in round two. And people are about Championship window, this,
- 13:33Speaker 1: that and the other thing. But there's no frame. It's
- 13:35Speaker 1: just a draft and a prayer at this point. That's
- 13:39Speaker 1: where we are, all right. Meanwhile, we now go to Boston,
- 13:43Speaker 1: where the if you are the Celtics winning the NBA Championship,
- 13:48Speaker 1: you're a loser, as they were decommissioned from the playoffs
- 13:52Speaker 1: over the weekend, and then we got some really wild
- 13:55Speaker 1: conversation from Jalen Brown, the star of the Celtish now
- 14:00Speaker 1: Jalen Brown claiming on twitch where I get all my
- 14:04Speaker 1: breaking sports news on Twitch? I wonder if he was
- 14:07Speaker 1: playing games with Blake Snell, the guy that is a
- 14:10Speaker 1: gamer that sometimes pitches for the Dodgers, but not really
- 14:13Speaker 1: just more of a gamer. I don't know about that.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, though, claimed on Twitch that the NBA referees
- 14:19Speaker 1: had a targeted agenda against him yep in the playoffs
- 14:29Speaker 1: playoffs that's right, saying they called offensive files calling to
- 14:34Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, they called offensive fouls every time he put
- 14:36Speaker 1: his hands up, possibly due to the regular season outsmoking
- 14:41Speaker 1: criticism of the Zebras and that rant following the Celtics
- 14:46Speaker 1: who blew a three games to one lead in their
- 14:49Speaker 1: playoff series as they have been exterminated by the Sixers,
- 14:53Speaker 1: who had that at Philadelphia look beaten and broken. There
- 14:56Speaker 1: were people calling each other's names in the locker room,
- 14:59Speaker 1: and now the six came back they win that series.
- 15:01Speaker 1: In Brown had also been critical of joel Enbid floppy
- 15:07Speaker 1: mcflop and all that. All right, I guess we have
- 15:11Speaker 1: the other. All right, let's go to the audio here.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Let's go to the audio tape.
- 15:13Speaker 4: Take a listen, this is my personal opinion on basketball.
- 15:16Speaker 4: Some of 'am might disagree, but argue with your grandma.
- 15:19Speaker 4: Flopping has ruined our game. Joel Embiid is a great player,
- 15:22Speaker 4: one of the best bigs in basketball history.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Flops.
- 15:26Speaker 4: He know this ain't breaking news. It is what it is.
- 15:30Speaker 4: I can clip it up, like I said, y'all can
- 15:32Speaker 4: post it on these paid accounts that he's bought whatever.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Okay, there you go, wonderful Jalen Brown right there. It's
- 15:40Speaker 1: all of course, this has been This is not new.
- 15:43Speaker 1: This has been going on for thirty years, at least
- 15:47Speaker 1: twenty five years. At least twenty five years. All right,
- 15:50Speaker 1: So question, how does Jalen Brown come across with his
- 15:54Speaker 1: grumbling over the NBA referees and the whole thing. This
- 15:58Speaker 1: guy's flopping. I'm not getting calls here. They're out to
- 16:01Speaker 1: get me. The man's holding me down. That's essentially his argument.
- 16:04Speaker 1: The man's holding me down. That's Jalen Brown. All right.
- 16:07Speaker 1: So Jalen Brown out here talking like the referees were
- 16:12Speaker 1: tapping his phone. There was a wire tap on Jalen
- 16:16Speaker 1: Brown's phone, And it seems a little deeper than just frustration,
- 16:22Speaker 1: like there's it's more than just frustration there. This is
- 16:25Speaker 1: a full blown the league is watching me. Paranoia is
- 16:29Speaker 1: what that comes across to me. And it appears that
- 16:32Speaker 1: Jalen Brown this offseason should spend some time picking up
- 16:36Speaker 1: a little side hustle. And I recommend the number two here.
- 16:39Speaker 1: I know George Nori works alone over on Coast to Coast,
- 16:43Speaker 1: but why not put Jalen Brown in there as a
- 16:46Speaker 1: coast or at least you can host the weekend version
- 16:48Speaker 1: of Coast to Coast and can talk about the Kim
- 16:51Speaker 1: Trails and the little Gremlins and all that out to
- 16:56Speaker 1: get him. Who says no, I don't I don't know,
- 17:00Speaker 1: And one would say no Jaylen Brown acting like every
- 17:02Speaker 1: whistle was not just a foul but a coordinate surveillance
- 17:06Speaker 1: operation against him, because of course the NBA doesn't want
- 17:10Speaker 1: the Celtics that have a national fan base to advance
- 17:13Speaker 1: in the playoffs and all that stuff. Of course not.
- 17:16Speaker 1: And he didn't lose a series. Jalen Brown didn't lose
- 17:20Speaker 1: a series here. He lost a battle with the imaginary
- 17:24Speaker 1: Boogeyman is what happened. So he's essentially accusing the referees
- 17:27Speaker 1: of some kind of psychological warfare, describing a conspiracy thriller
- 17:34Speaker 1: back in the old days when they made good movies
- 17:35Speaker 1: in Hollywood. And it's that not just a random playoff
- 17:39Speaker 1: series where you gagged away, you played with your food
- 17:42Speaker 1: and you lost. It's a bad job by you. So
- 17:44Speaker 1: Jalen out there talking like the officials had a dossier
- 17:49Speaker 1: on him, convinced that every whistle was actually not just
- 17:54Speaker 1: a whistle, it was a dog whistle coded message from
- 17:57Speaker 1: the illumina, the deep state e of the NBA. Now,
- 18:00Speaker 1: do I think sometimes this stuff happens? Absolutely, of course
- 18:03Speaker 1: I do. Do I think the NBA was out to
- 18:05Speaker 1: get Jalen Brown?
- 18:06Speaker 5: No?
- 18:06Speaker 1: And does that explain why every other guy in the
- 18:09Speaker 1: Celtics in that last game it was a brick house. Yeah,
- 18:14Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so. So anyway,
- 18:17Speaker 1: did he think the referees were hiding in the bushes
- 18:19Speaker 1: before tip off outside of the arena? Is that what
- 18:21Speaker 1: was going on here? So we'll see get him on
- 18:24Speaker 1: some of those meds that blind Scott's got, he'll be
- 18:26Speaker 1: all right. Of course he doesn't doesn't really take those either.
- 18:29Speaker 1: So anyway, it is the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd
- 18:31Speaker 1: like to be part eight seven seven ninety nine on
- 18:35Speaker 1: Fox as eight seven seven nine nine six six three

- 32:21Speaker 1: give out his old number, although I'm told I shouldn't
- 32:22Speaker 1: be doing that, so I will not give out his
- 32:24Speaker 1: old number. Meanwhile, how about this, but back to back
- 32:27Speaker 1: in belly to belly. Whoopee pie Blair and Mark the
- 32:30Speaker 1: full name guy right out of the gates with some
- 32:34Speaker 1: major heat to begin the week and it's back to
- 32:38Speaker 1: back in belly to belly. My goodness. All right, Well,
- 32:41Speaker 1: Steve Kerr, it sounds like he's heading out of the
- 32:45Speaker 1: Bay area. Is it true that Steve Kerr is being
- 32:49Speaker 1: heavily recruited, said to be in the ninth inning? A
- 32:53Speaker 1: deal about done that Steve Kerr will leave the Warriors,
- 32:58Speaker 1: a team falling apart, roster got rotten, and will head
- 33:02Speaker 1: off to the boob tube. And the chatter is that
- 33:06Speaker 1: Steve Kerr is over the weekend, was in negotiations his
- 33:09Speaker 1: agent with the small cable channel out of Bristol, Connecticut,
- 33:14Speaker 1: and appears that Kerr will become the lead commentator for
- 33:19Speaker 1: the NBA broadcast, something he did back in the old
- 33:22Speaker 1: days at TNT before he became the coach of the
- 33:25Speaker 1: Warriors and then had some success and all that. But
- 33:27Speaker 1: now he's gonna go back to his happy place where
- 33:29Speaker 1: he sits on television and makes jokes. So it sounds
- 33:32Speaker 1: like that's gonna happen, barring some kind of last minute
- 33:35Speaker 1: switch aaroo, keep an eye on that story today when
- 33:39Speaker 1: the sun gets up. Steve Kerr with all those championships
- 33:42Speaker 1: coaching the Golden State Warriors going back to television, which
- 33:46Speaker 1: I guess is bad news. I don't even know who's
- 33:49Speaker 1: on the ESPN brodches. I know Mike Breen, John Sunvold,
- 33:54Speaker 1: is that one of the guys? Is he on there?
- 33:56Speaker 1: Who's on there? I don't even know Richard Richard John.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Let's just say they don't leave a mark. They're just
- 34:01Speaker 1: kind of filler. They're noise. There's not a lot there.
- 34:04Speaker 1: They're not must see TV. You don't tuning in to
- 34:06Speaker 1: hear what Richard Jefferson has to say on the NBA
- 34:10Speaker 1: or any of those other clowns. They're just kind of backgrounds.
- 34:13Speaker 1: There's a lot of mediocrity on commentary in the NBA's
- 34:17Speaker 1: it's not good. Jamal Crawford another guy. I saw him
- 34:20Speaker 1: over the weekend. It's like I liked him as a player.
- 34:23Speaker 1: He's so dull dull doll dulld dull d dull. Anyway,
- 34:27Speaker 1: time now for the who am I?
- 34:28Speaker 3: Game?
- 34:29Speaker 1: This is where I pretend to be somebody else else
- 34:30Speaker 1: would call it the who am I? Game? So Detroit's
- 34:33Speaker 1: Kate Cuttingham? Who? Kid? Cuttingham? Had one hundred and nine
- 34:38Speaker 1: points the last three games of this series for the
- 34:42Speaker 1: Cleveland for the Pistons rather against Orlando. That is tied
- 34:48Speaker 1: for the most ever by a player in games five
- 34:51Speaker 1: through seven of a series to overcome a three to
