  Speaker 3: It's his third goal in his last two playoff runs,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: and the Avalanche have doubled their lead.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: It's two nothing, Colorado.
• 1:42
  Speaker 7: That's the blow your Wanda for the quality.
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: Baby.
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: About as good of the weekend as you could hope for,
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: as the Nuggets and as both start their respective playoff
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: series one in.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, you did something during the break. I can't forget
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Nellie before the end of the program. Remind me Brett
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: did something during the break that really bothers me, and
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: it says a lot about a person who you are
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: as a person.
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: Just don't let me forget go.
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: Well, and I'm curious what I did.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: It doesn't matter for right now. We'll get to a
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: little bit later, but I'll say it. Just trust me.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: People will everybody when I say it. Everybody will be
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: able to identify in one way or another. But you
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: could not have asked for a better start. I mean,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: you've got two upper seeds winning their games despite the
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: fact that it was two to one. Again, I don't
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: DJ Smith. After the Avs beat the Kings, head coach
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: DJ Smith the interim coach says, we got.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: To get more physical.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fucking Roger, about how much more physical do you
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: want to get?
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: We had fifty hits in the game, I know, so, so.
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: We said I think we could be on the net
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: more and I think the only thing I take away
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: is we got to be more physical. We got to
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: hit their deem more. And I expect that in the
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: next game.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, I mean they could. Yeah, I guess they could
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: go harder to the front of the net. So could
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: the Avs. That feels like.
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: That's just a given coach thing after every game?
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: What what what can they do? Think about this?
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: What strategy can they employ and change up their game
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: to make it more effective?
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: I don't know. I thought that they could.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they can do much more than
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: they did now. That's not to say they can't.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: Score more goals or won't score more goals or whatever. Yeah,
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying that they are who they are, did
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: you guys?
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: Hear bed in our post game By the way, he
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: was asked a question about Wedgwood. I just think this
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: is really funny.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Scott Wegward's first playoff start just went.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: He didn't know that.
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: With that said, just what can you say about.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: I thought it was fantastic. Yeah, I did everything he
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: needed to do. He played obviously bigger stakes, more emotion
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: but played the exact same way that he's been playing
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: for US all year.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: That's his first playoff start and he goes ever, I'm
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: surprised that Bennar didn't know that. I don't. I guess
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: you don't do the research. You just taken my b
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: the kind of player or the way that guy is
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: playing it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: Well, you ask him on Wednesday?
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: Well what ask him?
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: What? Why do you know? What was his first will?
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: No, I'm not This isn't me being like, how dare
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: he not know? I'm just surprised that he didn't know that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: That's all what's been around for a long time. I
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: guess you just assumed that he probably got a game
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: or two.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know that the coach goes back to the
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: history of Yeah, maybe he does.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I I don't know, but beds he healing up quite nicely.
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: I was saying that the MOSU earlier that you wouldn't
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: think he had his face broken a couple of weeks ago.
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: Looks good.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: You know what he is, He's the opposite of mosure.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: He's what you call a quick healer. Yeah, he's a
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: quick healer, not a slow healer.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: Quick healer.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: You can roll your.
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: Eyes all you want, do you know it's I just
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: don't know why I catch stray because you got stung
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: by a bee and your leg was swollen for a
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: month and a half. Ye h, I mean that thing
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: was swollen for a month.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, from one DA's thing. Yeah, you've had a call
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: for something in your system for eight months. Slowest most
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: most all due respect, I love respect and love you.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: You are the slowest healer I've ever been around.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: That.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Your body just doesn't heal.
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: Benner takes facial fractures and he's back out there with
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: like barely even a mark on. Do you feel that
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: same way about you? It's not a question of feel
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: most it's a question of fact. Yeah, you think you're
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: scaring me right now? You know if I wanted to,
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: you know what I can do.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: That's why I mean, And you're you all right?
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: So listen, listen.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: I want to go back to this for a second
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: because I do think this is interesting. This is unconventional.
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: This is Scott Wedgewood talking to the guys at TNT.
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: Hey, you got a guy that's you know, in your corner.
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: We're gonna use both of us in this playoff. It's
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: been the rhythm of our team. And you know, when
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: he gets in there, I'm gonna be obviously the biggest
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: fan for him, and you know, we can keep winning
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: games either one of us. Whoever goes, it's obviously helping
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: the team and it's just a it's a lot of
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: fun being a havevy like guy like that you can
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: lean on. You don't feel like you're, you know, talking
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: to an enemy by any sense when he's when he's
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: sitting there behind.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: You, Like, I don't know if that means that Wedgwood
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: is going tomorrow or not, or I'm sorry that Blackwood
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: is going tomorrow or not or not, but they are
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: going to use a rotation between the vipes.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: Well, do you do you feel comfortable in both goalies?
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: Yes, but I do feel more comfortable with Wedgwood.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so do.
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: I Okay, not to say that, like if Blackwood gets
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: a start, I'm on edge or anything. It's not that
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: it's just dude, Wedgwood.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Has played so well, I kick it's smarter them to
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: do this in this series specifically, I am not at
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: all concerned about this series, and maybe I should be,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: but I'm not. So if you're going to throw this
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: rotation in there, let's let's start doing it now. As
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the game's become more important, then perhaps you tame that
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: down a little bit. Right now, let's go.
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: And I don't want people to give me while they
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: did this during their coup Running twenty two, it's because
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: Darcy Kempra was poking the eye. Frankie played due to injury.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: Now he came in one game's played well, like all
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: that stuff, but that wasn't a rotation that was necessity. No,
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: it's different. So I'm not even saying I don't like
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: this strategy. It's just it's unconventional. I think it's interesting.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll see this.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I mean Blackwood went. It was two of three down
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: the stretch. The one the one tough game was the
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Van game, but the whole team was awful in front
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: of him, right, Yeah, he lost to Saint Louis three
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: to two, gave up one against Calgary, gave up three
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: in an overtime, lost to Vegas, And again we can
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: talk about who's fault is what or whatever, and then
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: he beats Calgary again. I mean he he hasn't played
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: poorly when you look at if you look at his
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: numbers overall, they're really good.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: Like the one thing I'd say, though, mos is in
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: a game like we saw yesterday, one misread of a
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: puck changes the entire nature of that game. And Wedgewood
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: to play as well as he did to to keep
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: you through the ringing of crossbar so for and over again,
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: that is correct.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: You gotta combine. And Wedgewood made some big saves. That
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: one where he was leaning byfield fires. If he's leaning
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: to his left, but he kicks his right pad out,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: they created a gold mouth scramble.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: But that's because he made the save for crying out loud.
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: I mean yeah, got a little lucky on one of
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: them too. I forget who it was for the Kings,
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: but had the wide open backhand that just kind of
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: muffined on him a.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Little bits apt. I think it was Dowdy down well,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Dowdy almost scored on his own goal at the beginning
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: I know that one that hit the post. I couldn't
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: believe that. I have a discussion with Buddies on that
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: play was that in Who sent that? Was that cadri
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: or was Carie waiting on the other side? Whoever fired it,
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: I think it was he intentionally playing it off him
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: or was he trying to find his man on the opposite.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I think he's trying to send it through the top
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: of the crease of the man on the other side.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: That's what I think for a one time.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: Yes, but it did.
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: It did have a look like it was coming a
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: little bit back, and I was like, dude, maybe he
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: was trying to play it off him. I don't know.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: And I thought that Forstburg played pretty well for them.
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: No, he did, he played well.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought he played pretty well.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: But I think you said it's he should be kissing
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: that post after the game a little bit, especially if
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: things went better for the Kings. But correct, what are
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: you saying.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not worried about the Avs. I am a little
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: you know. I think the Avs in this state just
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: stay healthy in this first round. I don't like the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: LA coach saying they need to be more physical after
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: all the hits we saw. Last thing we need is
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to see an AVS player limp off. Just stay stay
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: on the stay on the ice. You'll win these games
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: even if it's two to one. It's fine. They don't
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: have to be pretty, right. I'm not looking for pretty
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: points here. I don't care. Get through this series.
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: What was going on? It felt like early in the game,
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: there's a lot of slipping, a lot of guys losing
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: their edge. Is falling down, like even Nate had it.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: By the way he got he got new steel, he
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: went over and gutting.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: There is nothing if you've been to both Nuggets Alves
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: any there is nothing like the pregame hype of a
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup playoff hockey game, when when the arena goes
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: dark and they start playing the laser show on the
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: ice and the video board has that that song playing
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: and blaring and the players spill onto the ice. That
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: is the most hype moment you can have.
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: The Avs do that cool thing. They put all the
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: lights at the the basically around the rim of the
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: glass and it looks like they're in a like a
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: cage almost. It looks bad ass.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: But it's hard for me to see a lot of
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: that because we're turned around doing our thing.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: You're you're staring at a curtain.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: I'm doing this welcome to all.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: You can all be here for a one Hokay, are
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: you mocking my deliver?
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: Am I mocking it? Yes? I am mocking it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: You don't do it all the time. It's I guess
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: VIX being his TV fraud set. It's those it's those
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: pan shots, those you know, those panning shots and that
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: kind of thing, and where you're off camera and you're
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: you saying, you know, going to break or you're welcoming
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: people back.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: Look at this.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, there's a lambrador in the corner and everything.

  Speaker 7: against Minnesota and what they need to do here in
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: game two. Uh to really, I mean, Vic, I'm confused.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: You said the winner of Game one is gonna win
• 12:15

• 12:26

• 12:32
  Speaker 2: to change any opinion I offer. I said, I said
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the winner of Game one would win the series. I
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: still believe that, and now I follow that up by saying,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: if the Nuggets win Game two, they're going to win
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: the series.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: And now all that is, if they win tonight, you'll
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: get on the ear tomorrow you'll say, well, they have
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: to win Game three, and then I'll be really sure
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: they're gonna win.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, So if you don't agree with that, that's a
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: you problem. It's not. It's not on me.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: You.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: You are adamant on Friday, the winner of game one
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: is gonna win the series, and now the winner of

  Speaker 6: Am I getting?
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I'll get Anti Manziel Howard Ryan.
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: So my guess is that the the Nuggets are playing
• 13:53
  Speaker 9: the Timberwolves, right. Cam Newton played for the Tigers and
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: the Panthers. Manzel played for the river Cats of the CSL.
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: Desmond Howard played for the Wolverine Wolverines, And I think
• 14:06
  Speaker 9: wasn't he also a Florida not Florida Panther, Carolina Panthers.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Football Cats. Yeah, that's all Kevin playing Harry met Potter.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I can tell you this the winner of
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: game two, which is why I believe the winner of
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: a game two wins this series. If if the Nuggets
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: win tonight, listen to this stat Is this the case?
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: Is this a key you want to do you want
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: to make it a key.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: Let's do it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Let's make it a key.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: What don't wear?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: It's the Johnson Auto Plaza cheese to the game, Johnson

  Speaker 7: Cave eight thirty ish tonight Game two Nuggets and Wolves VIC.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: You know, you make a couple of threes, you'll win
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: this game. And I think you'll win it. Not easily,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: but every game is going to be hard. Consider this
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: the Denver Nuggets one Game one, despite shooting one for
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: seventeen from three in the second half. I repeat, Jamal
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Murray was over eight in the game. The Nuggets as
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: a team from three in the second half of that game.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys noticed this. I don't
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: know if you just ignored it. They were one for
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: seventeen from distance and won the game by double digits.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: That tells you a lot. That tells you you can
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: win a game even if you don't play your best.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And here's a stat you could take home with you.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: The home team that wins the first two games of
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: a best of seven in the first round wins that
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: series ninety five percent of the time.
• 15:48

  Speaker 3: The Altitude plus Love luv. Hey real quick, though, am
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I to learn that Vic's tat of the game is
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: make more threes?
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: My key to the game?
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Wait when it what's your key? I'm very confused about
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: your key.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Your key is just keep doing what you're doing. You
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: were able to beat them without playing your A game
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: that wasn't the Nuggets a game correct, that wasn't at
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: all the Nuggets A game that would almost it was
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: almost their C plus game and they won.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: Did you feel like as.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: The game went on, though, that they started to inflict
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: their will? I just felt like Mini's like, uh ugh.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: I just felt like they had this ah yeah, wells
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: around early and then once they gave up that lead, Vic,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: You're tired at halftime, I.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: Felt so good, so relaxed.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: The Nuggets defense just got so much better in the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: second half. They gave up sixty two points in the first,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: only forty three in the second, and that third quarter
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: where they only allowed seventeen. I don't know how much
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: of that is Minnesota just missing shots or the Nuggets
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: just being more aggressive, but whatever they did work.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: They had that stretch late in the game. It felt
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: like the Nuggets could close it out and Minnesota kept missing.
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: You went down, threw up a three brick and it
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: was like that, like for eight straight possessions. Yeah, what's
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: going on?
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. The Nuggets managed to win by
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: double digits despite not having their a game. You saw it.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: They just they didn't shoot the ball.
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: Well, here's Minnesota's thoughts after the game, Chris Finch.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: More globally defensively, I mean, you have different guys guard
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Jokich at times.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, what else defensively do you need against the
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Denver offense?
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: Well, I mean the sixteen free throws from Murray as
• 18:02
  Speaker 10: a head scratcher.
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: Went on and on and on about it. By the way,
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: here's Jamal's response to that.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Your team had a slow start, but you kind of
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: just kept them tethered with your ability to get to
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: the line.
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: I mean, for of them were technicals, you know, before
• 18:18
  Speaker 10: the ball gets and bounced and this and that. So
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: I mean I thought I got fell out on every
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: single one of them, you know. So I don't know
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: what everybody's talking about.
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: It's real fouls, real fouls, he said.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: The foul.
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: Jamal's not a flopper, he's not.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: It was a physical game, man. There were a lot
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: of calls that were non calls. That's just the way
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: you know, playoff basketball is going to be. There's a
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: gout pushing and shoving and you know, the one thing
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Dan Hyatt mentioned this and he's so right. The one
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: element of the game that is hard to watch. Sometimes
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: somebody makes a bucket and what happens after a tough bucket,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: even if it goes in, what what does that player
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: usually do? Both sides now across the one, they're always like,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: ah' you know, where's the call? Right? Every single bucket made,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: especially at the rim, is followed up by somebody motioning
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: toward the official. You know where is it?
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: And it's just sort of part of the game. And
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: as an official you have to be able to differentiate
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: fact from fiction, right when every player does it, and
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: they do every player, there's a reaction when the shots
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: made sure.
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Or every time the ball is now out of bounds,
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: every time, I.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Mean, figure out which everybody thinks it's off the other guy?
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: All all, I mean, even when it's pretty obvious. All
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: that kind of thing.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: What did you think, by the way about you need
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: to have the role guys playing well, and Cam Johnson
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: was a little bit slow to st art in that game,
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: picked it up towards the end. You know, I feel
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: like he's somebody that if he has good games, it's
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: going to be like really difficult for others, like other
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: other teams to to kind of get around that. You know,
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: if you use it your fourth, fifth option in the
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: starting five, but when he knocks down threes, it's a
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: difference maker.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: The only thing I the only thing that came to
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: my mind is I'm watching that game, and it'll come
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: into my mind again. No right of the teams that
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: are contenders for a championship, and I consider the Nuggets
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: one of them, obviously, nobody has it tougher than Denver
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: in this first round. Everybody's playing juicy fruit.
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: Like it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: It's funny. I don't know what it means, but it
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: sounds funny.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: It means you're chewing on that gum and that flavor
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: just you lose the flavor in like seconds. It's the game,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: this series are over.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: That's juicy fruit. Red stripe goes away fast.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I think juicy fruit has the record for losing flavor.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: You might be right. It's it's it's known to man.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Double bubble I can get. I can get a double
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: bubble in the ad dressing room. And by the time
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: I walked down the hall to coach it flavors gone
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: zebra stripe.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: Those ones good, but immediately going.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Every other contending team is on a juicy fruit series
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: and the Nuggets they got a plod. Man, this is
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: not going to be easy. They bring their plow to work.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Hey, Steve chimes in and says that Tony Brothers is
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: officiating tonight.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: It doesn't bother me. Tony's fair with them for years. Yes, okay,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: it's not an issue. I'm not an issue.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: You know as far as what they need to do.
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: You were talking about earlier Vic that they're putting Yo
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: Kic at either the elbow or even higher than that
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: to take Rudy out of the lane.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: And and I want to I want to raise my
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: hand because if anybody was watching the game near me,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I kept saying, ah, put him down, and I was
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: like no, you know, upon upon one further review, it
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: was a smart thing to do because it just kept
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Rudy from blocking shots. How many block shots to Rudy
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: finished with zero?
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: Zero?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: There you go not one, there you go.
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: I still would like a little bit more aggression relief
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: from Jokich, especially when the team struggling. That's that's what
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: was frustrating. There were like two of ten from the floor,
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: and I'm like, Joker, come on, I don't think he
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: took shot.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: In the first six minutes of the game.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Four shots in the first half, hes one for four.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: He just he just didn't. I just didn't put the
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: ball in the air. Dude.
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: I understand the strategy, vic, I just don't think that
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: can happen. It's the playoffs. He have four shots in the.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Court or Jokers the definition of inevitable. Though you look
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: at his numbers, you're like, okay, and then at the
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: end of the game you're like, oh, triple double, all right,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I know, inevitable.
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: But when when you got guys struggling to make shots, Joker,
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: I need you to go make a shot.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: It's but at what costs though, I mean again, what
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: he's doing early in the game, then they're not going
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: to clog the lane and they just missed shots. They
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: just missed them, and those are you know, playoff jitters.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: I guess yeah. It's also like I think that a
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: week and a half off before the playoffs probably contributed
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: a little bit to that slow start. They looked like
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: they had a hard time getting to a rhythm early,
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: but then obviously found it as the game went along.
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: I think the biggest key here they had. I counted
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: them up six turnovers in the first thirteen minutes, that's
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: when things were going really poorly. They had seven for
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: the rest of the game, and I think that is
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: it's that's been them with the Nuggets all year. If
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: they don't turn the ball over, they're really really good.
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: But when they get into that sort of sloppy game
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: you're giving. You already have a quasi tough time playing defense,
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: and then you give them easy transition buckets, it just
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: puts you even farther behind the eight ball. Limit those,
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: Please limit turnovers, especially early. I know they can come back.
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: I don't need you to have a giant comeback every
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: single game, though, please Now mos you mentioned this to
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: me that we haven't touched on this a lot today,
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: and maybe because it's inconsequential because the Avs won, but
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: that disallowed goal is bothersome to me. I don't like it.
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: I don't like how the onus is now put on
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: Jack Drury to control his body after being hit while
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: he's wearing ice skates.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: There is a there's a hobby for some folks out there,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: which is the hobby is for Dallas stores fans in
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Minnesota wild fans to jump all over the aves on anything.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: Have you noticed that?
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Dude?
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: I saw a Dallas beat rider was sending out tweets
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: about when Landy's stick got broken in half, and I'm like,
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: don't you have your own business to worry about here
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: being down four in the second period?
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Worry about your own situation, suck hole. I mean, we
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: will take care of our you take care.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: Of you, stupid abs feed. The point is this, that
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: guy's growing on me.
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: Those the worst commentation.
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: Here's the league.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: He had a meltdown, as somebody sent me the he
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: had a full on meltdown over the weekend, as you
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: can well imagine, right.
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: Uh huh no.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: But but all the of course, all the stars fans
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: and I guess Eddie saw it different on the TNT
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: broadcast than we saw it.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: Here's what I defer to.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm not I never played the game at the
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: NHL level like Johnny and Riker. Okay, I'm not a
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: coach like Jared Bednar. I defer to them. And people
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: were going, why why would Bednar challenge this? Why what's
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: he thinking all this kind of thing. I'm like, well,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: he's got the number one PK in the league that
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: he can rely on, sure and number two. I think
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: that he honestly thought that Jewelry got hipchecked into Anton Forest.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: You guys did a close up of his face right
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: after the goal. He was looking down at the monitor
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: to see if he wanted a challenge, and he had
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: a smirk on his face, almost like this has to
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: be a goal.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: So Johnny says, Look, Johnny played over eight hundred games
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: as a defenseman in this league. He says, trust me
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: when I tell you, Dowd he knows exactly what he's
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: doing there.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Is he entitled to go straight back with his rump
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: all the way to the top of his own crease
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: and Jury's trying to slip off. I mean, it's clear
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: that Drury's going to Missforsberg entirely unless Dowdy hip checks
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: him into his goalie.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Right, which is what happened.
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: And Dowdy, look, he has a right to his path
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: or whatever they were saying on the broadcast feed. But
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: when you're in your path and then you stick your
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: rump out an extra few inches because you know you're
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: gonna get the touch on the guy coming through, that's
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: not natural anymore.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question, Drew Drew.
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: Dowd, he's got himself a rump. Vic's this question.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: He's got a rump knowing knowing the ramifications of challenging
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: those calls, because if you lose the challenge, you're on
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: the PK. Do you think Jared Bednar challenges that if
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: they're playing.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Dallas, Well maybe it depends on this. If you're up
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: three nothing, perhaps same circumstances. Let's say, let's say called
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: exact same so Alice's power play dude is I mean,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: they're That's what I'm saying, power play merchants.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: They live on.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: That's why I have no problem challenging the call. And
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: everybody's like, ah, shouldn't challenge it your p case, Fine,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: it's la come on.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Well I don't know about that, but I mean it's
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: also I felt it's all circumstance. I think he really, honestly,
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: truly thought that it was going to be.
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: Overturned out in again, that looks like it's gonna be
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: hard to score.
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: By the way, let me and let me go back.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: I think if it's called a good goal on the ice,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: I think they're gonna they're gonna say Dowdy hip checked him.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: I mean they they're going to.
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: I don't think so the most because they didn't say
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: that the call stands. They said confirmed. That's different.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, what whatever whatever vernacular you want to use.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: When I looked at the email from the league, because
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: league will send it out an email about fifteen twenty
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: minutes later, he didn't say anything about Dowdy hip checking Jack.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: You said, Jack Drury interfered with Anton Forstburg. But the
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: only reason he did is because he got hip checked
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: into it.
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: Most, if I grab you with two hands by the
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: shirt and I throw you through that glass.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: All they all they're concerned about is well or not
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I hit the glass, not how I got there. It's
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: it's your responsibility to not be thrown into the glass
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: by me.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: Is that what we're trying to say.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: To not break the glass. Let's say Brandon's walking by,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: or he'll billy an account exact Brandon might haul off
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: and punch you. No, no, and you and you push
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: me into Brandon and he goes.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: What ah owl? They do better? Did you say owl?
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: Would you say owl?
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Ew?
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Shut his hole?
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: And what they're saying is that it's not that Brett.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: It's just that I collided with Brandon, not that Brett
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: shoved me into Brandon.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I don't I don't.
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: Get that I'm gonna drop kicked you right in the chest.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: If drew down, he picked up Jack Drury in midair
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: and threw him into his own goalie.
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: Well, that's what I'm saying.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: I'm like, what's the difference between that and and him
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: checking him into the goal.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: This is what I'm saying.
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: If there's ever a scramble in front of Wedgewater or Blackwater,
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: whoever's in, how about I just take guys and throw
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: them into them.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: So I.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Right, I defer to Riker and Johnny Lyles. Riker was
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: a forward, Johnny defenseman. I defer to them and the
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: coach when they say, hey man, Dowdy hip checked him
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: right in.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Hey man, it didn't impact the final outcome.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: Agreed. Agree.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: But the fear is that a call like that will
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: impact I.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Don't want to get Yeah, I don't want to put
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: any cart before any horse, or a cart on top
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: of a horse. I don't want a horse driving a cart.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: I don't want any of that stuff. But if you
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: get like to a game seven and you don't know
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: what you don't know's it's tough, bro, it's tough.
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: Uh, Texter says, can how is confirmed different than stands
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: are upheld? Maybe my football brain is impeding on the
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: hockey thing. I don't know if this applies in hockey.
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: In football, when they go to a review, if they
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: say the call stands, the translation is we can't disprove it,
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: so we'll stick with the call. In the field.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: That's basically the same thing.
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: Can confirmed me is no, we saw it and we
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: know this is the correct call. That's I mean that
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: it's splitting hairs. But that is the difference in the
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: language on why they use it. Stands are upheld is
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: can't disprove the thing, so we're just gonna stick with
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: the call that's already there. Confirmed means we watched it,
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: we know this is what happened. So three oh three,
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: five oh four oh nine two five reminder, your final
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: key word is Ryan, and that gets you a chance
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: to get in the building tonight for Game two against Minnesota.
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: So texts Ryan and your first and last name to
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: three oh three, five oh four oh nine two five.

• 30:48
  Speaker 6: You said you were not gonna let me forget.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: I'll go ahead. Yeah, what happened.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I gotta get Vic on here because I gotta get
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: his opinion.
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: So I did something that you think makes me a
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: bad hit human?
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: You know it just it determines what kind of person
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: you are. I don't think it makes you a bad person.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: It's not the way I would do it, but it
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: doesn't make you a bad person.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: Okay, I'm very curious somewhere this is gonna go, I know,
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: but Vic's uh, well in the meantime at this Okay,
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: until Vic sits down, let me just do this real quick,
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: because the Nuggets look to take it too a lead
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: over the Timberwolves tonight, and the only place to hear
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: a local broadcast of the game action is Altitude Sports

  Speaker 2: Is that what it says? Yeah, means it'll probably go
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: like eight fifty one.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: All right, So a couple of breaks ago, we.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Were you know, we have Marlowe with us on our
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: pre and postgame show. Yeah, I'm not sure, but I
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: think he will be sleeping in the I was gonna say,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: in fact, we'll have how about a postgame show with
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Marlow's just sleeping on the couch.
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: Yes, just have him like a picture and picture screen
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: of him just like there.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: I've laid on that couch and I barely fit on it.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: So I imagining marlow probably won't wait.
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: Is that?
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Oh? No?
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: Is that when he hauled off and hit Morris? Is
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: that what that? O? No? Yeah, it's gotta be gotta
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: be all right. So what's the deal.
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: What did I do to you?
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: What's what's going on?
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: So Vick, A couple of breaks ago, we're all out
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: talking and Brent looks in Raj's office and flips him off.
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: That's my helotoraje in the morning.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, rightful, that's sort of a right of the morning.
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: I go hey, Raj, and then I give him the bird.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: I don't need his demonstration on camera.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: But what I need is I need you to tell
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: me how you flip somebody off, because I do.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: I got the kickstand.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: Well, you've got the wings and the kickstand. You got
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: the whole thing.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so I'm just a tuck all the fingers
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: in and just the one finger.
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: I like the kickstand, so you know.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: There's wings, see the wings and then the kickstand. You do,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I tuck him in there, but the wings, these are
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: the wings right here? Yes, you do the wings and
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: the kickstand like a full on. It's like, uh you
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: know what I mean. It's like that's it's.
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: Like too well, I'm not doing it, but I bend
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: them like this. But I keep my thumb out.
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, can't keep it out.
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: Kickstand it, Nellie, how about you.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I'm a purist man.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: You just need one finger. That's correct. That's it. That's
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: that's the proper way.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: That's the proper way to because I think of the
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: middle finger as bleep and then the kickstands you. That's
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: why I think about it. Just see hey, Raj see
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: he doubled yeah.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Double right yeah, Vick you ever bird somebody, I'm here
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: to talk sports, Okay, shut them off.
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: Just the kickstand and no kickstand is just the one
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: question we have, I honest.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: To goodness, I mean, and I mean.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: That with all down to flip somebody.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I cannot remember the last time I've done something. Come on,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I just don't do it because that's not necessary. I
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: don't like, what's that going to do? Like people that
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: eat cars like perfect.
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: I turned my camera off just so I could do
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: it to you right now, just so you know. In
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: the meantime, I was just curious to think you do

• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you're never going to be really settled.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: It's the playoffs. Anxieties at a high. You know, It's
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: interesting the Nuggets got off to such a slow start
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: in Game one, and yet they won the game. I'm
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: more unsettled, and maybe I'm counterintuitive. I get more unsettled
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: when the Nuggets get off.
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: The great starts.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: When the Nuggets come out and they start whipping up
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: on the opposition in the first quarter, I'm always worried
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: that they relax when they have to climb that mountain
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: after an early deficit. I'm more comfortable.
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: Can can you just give me an okay start?
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: How about that the great start? I just don't want
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: a bad starts.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Joker again, I'm like, how many times are you going
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: to strip them in the first quarter?
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I know, guys, what hey, how many of you out
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: there think this is not going to be an easy series.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Every game is going to be painful. Every game is
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: going to be a vice grip. Every game your hand
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: is stuck in that vice grip. You're trying to wiggle
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: it out.
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: That's what this is.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: You're playing Minnesota. This is a tough team. There's no
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: other contender that would want to play Minnesota. Trust me,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets would switch places with every other contending team
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: right now in the playoffs. Sure, it's the toughest opponent
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: for any contending team. But I'm saying, what makes you
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: think that suddenly this is going.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: To be easy.
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: This is your you're making up your own things again.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: I'm not making up anything.
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: No, nobody thinks this is going to be easy. Nobody
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: thought this was going to be easy. I'm saying, don't
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: make it harder on yourself. Don't spot them a twelve,
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: thirteen to fourteen point lead in the first quarter and
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: have to baally your way back. That's all I'm saying.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: I don't turn don't have six turnovers in the first
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: thirteen minutes like that stuff.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Now you know what, I go full on Mother Teresa
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: and maybe speak into your microphone like you speak.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, I go full on Mother Teresa. And that
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: is when she said, I know the Good Lord won't
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: give me more than I can handle. I wish he
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: just didn't trust me so much. I know the Nuggets
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: can come back and win these dang games. And they
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: won by double digits, they won by eleven.
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but damn.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: I just wish they would you know, I wish they
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: wouldn't give themselves the Maybe they need that.
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: Carrot out there. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe they
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: need that carrot.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: I thought buying large. Christian Brown did a good job
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: on Anthony Edwards. Again, Anthony looks a little a step slow.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: He's wearing that sleeve on his knee. Doesn't look the same.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Ag is proving to be a difference maker when he
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: didn't play versus when he did get chance to get
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: back in the game. The second unit, the one thing
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for to tonight is what do they do
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: with their rotation? Is Yonni's gonna get minutes again? Because
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: that second unit got him back in the game. Fellas
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Bruce Brown had five steals on that second unit.
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: Huge, huge. I think Bruce Brown was the reason that
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: game started to turn. He brought a spark that they
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: didn't have early in that game, and once he started
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: making some plays, everything kind of flipped.
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: But how do you.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Feel about Valentuna's coming in and getting three personals?
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: In eight minutes. Just use them fouls, Is that what
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: you're thinking?
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Sure, theows, I mean the fowls prove to be effective
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: because you're talking about in the second half, right because
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: the first half they they rolled. In the second half
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: when he came in, things got a little choppy and
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Minnesota got back in the game. So we'll see. Listen,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: if if you give me what the bench did yes
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: in game one again tonight, I'll take it, yep. I
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: will take it in a heartbeat.
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: And it wasn't even like a huge tim hardaway game
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: like you only had seven, but they just they played hard.
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: And that's half the battle, right now. Just go out
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: there and play hard, give effort, especially against the team
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: that you know is gonna play physically and and have
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: some good players on it.
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: It's the little things like that play in the fourth quarter.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Bruce Brown is guarding Anthony Edwards. He comes around a
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: pick from Rudy Gobert and Bruce throws his hand in
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: there and pops the ball away the joker who throws
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: it back to Bruceford dunk.
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm not saying you have to force a
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: turnover every time, but those little plays are the difference
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: for sure in this series. And you know who makes
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: those plays in volume Oklahoma City makes those kind of plays.
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, all the time, all the time. How are you feeling,
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: vic When Devincenzo, your favorite guy, came out and knocked
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: on his first fourth th reason he buried him.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Man, he was. He came out hot again. You gotta
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: sort of the first quarter, just chill out. Game's never
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: over in the first never is. You can get back
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: in a game.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: I know that you play till the end. But Devencenzo
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: until it torked me off when he broke up that
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: four on one.
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: Tork me off.
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, I know what play you're talking about.
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: It was that four on one.
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: Bro Well, I don't know what Hardway's doing. I think
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: it was a three on one. But he decided whatever
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: to go with the contested jump into him that it's like,
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: dish it off and get somebody an easy buckle.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: And then then on the other end of the floor,
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: he's diving for that loose ball. Now he knocks it
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: out of bounds, and I'm like, this game is over
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: if this redhead will just chill.
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: I've noticed this a lot over the last couple of
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: years in the NBA, when you have odd man sort
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: of breaks and it's two on one or three on one,
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: those are automatic, and they don't feel automatic anymore because
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: somebody takes the contested lay up because they don't want
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: to give up the ball, or they kick it out
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: to somebody in the corner for a three.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: It's like, just take the easy layup and go.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: I swear to it when I see and when I
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: see a break two on one, three on one and
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: somebody kicks it out and the guy actually shoots it,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: I lose my bacon. Take the free points. I think, well,
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: maybe you'll get fouled and get a three point play.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I think tonight's game is going to be closer than
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Game one.
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: Probably. Yeah, Okay, Minnesota's tough.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: By the way, if anybody cares, the Boston Marathon is on.
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: I just watched a guy run it in two hours,
