Speaker 1: Buying Show be so our lead this hour is from
2:48
Speaker 1: pro Bouncy Ball. We go to the hoo's your state
2:53
Speaker 1: and we asked the question, who's your daddy? Well, if
2:56
Speaker 1: it's the Knicks right now, it's the Indiana Pacers. That's
2:58
Speaker 1: who's your daddy right now? Wow? As the Pacers, they
3:03
Speaker 1: they're that close they can feel it at this point.
3:05
Speaker 1: After a dud the other night, Tyrese Haliburton and the
3:09
Speaker 1: Pacers looking to bounce back get it done as they
3:14
Speaker 1: hosted Jalen Brunson and the Knickerbockers there in Game four
3:17
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals. I assume you were watching. Maybe not,
3:21
Speaker 1: maybe you did something else. You were sleeping. I don't
3:23
Speaker 1: know what you were doing. You have no idea. I'm
3:25
Speaker 1: not stalking you, but don't worry. We watched and it
3:28
Speaker 1: was a pleasure. I didn't have to hit the mute
3:31
Speaker 1: button once. No doors Burke. I just got to watch
3:34
Speaker 1: a game without having to mute it. Thank God, hallelujah. Man,
3:39
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss TNT. Gonna miss it. Maybe one more
3:43
Speaker 1: game for TNT and this crap broadcasting at least part
3:46
Speaker 1: of it. Anyway, Tyrese Haliburton did a little bit of this,
3:50
Speaker 1: a lot of that, and some of that and ended
3:53
Speaker 1: up with thirty two points, fifteen assists, twelve rebounds without
3:57
Speaker 1: a turnover and that performance, that performance putting the Pacers
4:04
Speaker 1: on his back there and a zoom past the Knicks.
4:08
Speaker 1: They win one thirty to one twenty one the final
4:10
Speaker 1: there three to one lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.
4:14
Speaker 1: Haliberd the first player with such a stat line more
4:18
Speaker 1: on that later in the hour as he gets it
4:21
Speaker 1: done there, and the first player in the modern ear
4:25
Speaker 1: since they first tracked these statistics to have that line.
4:29
Speaker 1: Game five will be Thursday in New York. We will
4:31
Speaker 1: not be on that night because we'll be doing the
4:33
Speaker 1: Malard Meet and greet in Vancouver that night, but we're watching.
4:38
Speaker 1: I assume we'll watch the end of it from the
4:40
Speaker 1: from the bar we'll be at there in Vancouver, having
4:42
Speaker 1: a great time. Anyway, let us discuss what just happened
4:46
Speaker 1: in game number four, and the better story is in
4:49
Speaker 1: the losing locker room. So that is where we will begin
4:51
Speaker 1: this Malard monologue. Who is the guilty party? Who is
4:55
Speaker 1: the guilty party? For Tom Thibodeau and the Knickerbockers who
5:00
Speaker 1: o loose this game and did not have a single
5:04
Speaker 1: lead in the second half. They trailed the entire second
5:08
Speaker 1: half of that game. So I've got mousetrap, media machine,
5:13
Speaker 1: and many bottles of rum, and we will combine all
5:18
Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
5:22
Speaker 1: make a dirty water dog because the next Now they're
5:26
Speaker 1: not just the dirty water, they're the dog in the
5:29
Speaker 1: dirty water as well. Who we all right, So let's
5:32
Speaker 1: get right to the heart of the matter. You see
5:34
Speaker 1: what I did there, the heart of the matter. Now
5:36
Speaker 1: he's a secondary actor, but he played a key role
5:40
Speaker 1: in the demise of the film. That would be Josh Hart,
5:43
Speaker 1: who's a bit of a fringe NBA players. Well they're
5:45
Speaker 1: not that good. He's just kind of a roster guy.
5:49
Speaker 1: Not great, not terrible. He's just kind of there. He's
5:52
Speaker 1: played a long time in the NBA and nobody's gonna
5:55
Speaker 1: accuse him of being a good player. But he was bad.
5:58
Speaker 1: He was an evil doer for the in this particular game.
6:01
Speaker 1: In fact, he was the Duke, the Duke of Puke.
6:05
Speaker 1: A lot of it in the second quarter of the
6:07
Speaker 1: game turned in the second quarter here it flipped. And
6:10
Speaker 1: if you look at the surveillance tape from the crime scene,
6:15
Speaker 1: you can see that josh Hart left a smoking gun
6:18
Speaker 1: at the crime scene. There was a biohazard on the
6:21
Speaker 1: court there, as Indiana had set up a mouse trap.
6:25
Speaker 1: They set up a mouse trap and Heart bit the cheese.
6:30
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to bite the cheese. He bit the cheese. There.
6:33
Speaker 1: Committed five turnovers, four of them in the first half
6:36
Speaker 1: of the game, and the Pacers got out were able
6:39
Speaker 1: to move the ball down the court, matriculate the ball
6:42
Speaker 1: down the court in transition, and they capitalized on almost
6:45
Speaker 1: all of those mistakes by josh Hart. They turned those
6:49
Speaker 1: five turnovers into directly into eight points on the other end.
6:54
Speaker 1: So that's not good, he said, Well, it's only eight points, okay.
6:58
Speaker 1: Hart also fouled out of the game, and the Pacers
7:01
Speaker 1: scored nine points either as a result or directly after
7:07
Speaker 1: those fouls. Nine points. Now, as a team, the Knicks
7:12
Speaker 1: finished with seventeen turnovers. Seventeen turnovers, and I gave you
7:17
Speaker 1: all kinds of numbers. Indian outscored New York by eleven
7:21
Speaker 1: in that game, and they had thirteen more points on
7:24
Speaker 1: the fast break, and he's gonna break it down point
7:26
Speaker 1: by pointier. Now the other villains for New York, you
7:29
Speaker 1: could say, well, Mitchell Robinson that it's kind of just
7:32
Speaker 1: a big lugging plotting player. And then mckil bridges, who
7:38
Speaker 1: they traded seventeen thousand draft picks to get. He sucked.
7:41
Speaker 1: Miles McBride, who's a backup good name though doesn't Miles
7:45
Speaker 1: McBride sound like a fake Hollywood name, some kind of
7:48
Speaker 1: superhero Miles McBride to save the day, not on this game.
7:52
Speaker 1: Did not save the day all right? Now? Page two.
7:55
Speaker 1: So Indiana wins the game, and the story is all
7:58
Speaker 1: about someone's dad. What John Halliburton a return to watch
8:04
Speaker 1: his kid there He had been forced well, we talk
8:08
Speaker 1: about the hardship, forced to watch the previous eight Indiana
8:13
Speaker 1: Pacer postseason games from somewhere else as he got into
8:17
Speaker 1: it on the court with the Greek freak Giannis ident
8:21
Speaker 1: to Coombo in one of the great moments scripted reality
8:24
Speaker 1: there of the NBA, following the last second shot to
8:28
Speaker 1: eliminate Milwaukee previously in the postseason, got right there. So
8:34
Speaker 1: this has become a big talking point in the in
8:37
Speaker 1: the NBA media. So I'm gonna play the game thumbs
8:40
Speaker 1: up or thumbs down. So thumbs up or thumbs down
8:44
Speaker 1: on the narrative that Tyrese Halliburton's father inspired this victory,
8:51
Speaker 1: because I'm getting a lot of that. I'm getting a
8:53
Speaker 1: lot of that that this win was because of John
8:57
Speaker 1: Halliburton sitting at the very top near not the very
9:02
Speaker 1: Toppy's in the box there. So thumbs up or thumbs
9:06
Speaker 1: down on Tyreus Halliburton's father inspiring the Pacers win. So
9:12
Speaker 1: I will not be Benny Bright's oude on this. I
9:14
Speaker 1: Am going I'm going thumbs down, a strong, powerful thumbs
9:19
Speaker 1: down on this. So let me get so, we're supposed
9:25
Speaker 1: to believe that the reason that Tyree's played well was
9:31
Speaker 1: because his daddy was at the arena and that's that's
9:36
Speaker 1: what pushed the Pacers over the top. Are you bleeping
9:39
Speaker 1: kidding me? Seriously? Is this the latest Disney fairy tale
9:44
Speaker 1: being peddled by the NBA media machine that works overtime,
9:49
Speaker 1: the pr machine. Oh, it's Everything's got to be a
9:53
Speaker 1: Disney type story, and let's all calm down. Take a breath. Okay,
9:58
Speaker 1: take a breath, Calm down, it's not a Hollywood movie.
10:01
Speaker 1: I'm happy the dad was back. We had said it
10:03
Speaker 1: was kind of ridiculous let him back. I would have
10:05
Speaker 1: put him at the top of the arena. I wouldn't
10:07
Speaker 1: put him in luxury box. I would have put John
10:09
Speaker 1: Halliburt into the very top of the arena. I'm not
10:13
Speaker 1: saying it wasn't nice to have him back. That's fine.
10:16
Speaker 1: I'm out of total curmudget. However, I mean to think
10:21
Speaker 1: that somehow he's sitting in a luxury box, the dad,
10:24
Speaker 1: and that's why the kid plays well here. It's a
10:27
Speaker 1: classic overreaction. I got a good story. I went to
10:31
Speaker 1: sports writing one oh one back in the day, and
10:33
Speaker 1: I got to justify that. I learned this like the
10:35
Speaker 1: second day of sports writing one oh one. You gotta
10:39
Speaker 1: bring the family into the narrative. You're gonna bring the
10:41
Speaker 1: dand or the mom in there and the kids, and
10:44
Speaker 1: oh man, that'll sell. That'll play in Peoria. Okay, all right,
10:48
Speaker 1: so the guy, the way I look at it, you know,
10:51
Speaker 1: what do I know? I'm just doing the old night Shore.
10:52
Speaker 1: But the way I look at it, he had a
10:54
Speaker 1: bounce back game. And and of course now they're writing
10:57
Speaker 1: all these think pieces about man there's some kind of
11:01
Speaker 1: spiritual connection with the dad and all that stuff. But maybe,
11:04
Speaker 1: just maybe, I know this is outrageous what I'm about
11:07
Speaker 1: to say, it's an unpopular opinion, but maybe Halliburton, tyree
11:10
Speaker 1: Aaliburton realized, well, he didn't play that well in the
11:12
Speaker 1: last game. So I don't know he watched them, tay,
11:15
Speaker 1: he practiced. Maybe he shot a few more baskets. I
11:17
Speaker 1: don't know. Some of that made some adjustments, played better.
11:21
Speaker 1: But no, it's got to be the dad. It's gotta
11:23
Speaker 1: be the dad. That's why. Has nothing to do with
11:27
Speaker 1: the practice, the extra shots, watching the film whatever, finding
11:30
Speaker 1: out what the Knicks were doing and how to attack that. No, yeah, okay,
11:35
Speaker 1: and the Pacers were at home, and so some of
11:37
Speaker 1: these other scrubs on the Pacers. The role players usually
11:40
Speaker 1: played better at home, so we had some of that
11:42
Speaker 1: that happened as well. All right, now the last word here,
11:46
Speaker 1: So what do the Jalen Brunson New York Knicks, What
11:51
Speaker 1: do they do here to get back in this series?
11:56
Speaker 1: What do they do. They're down three games to one,
11:59
Speaker 1: down three games, so what do they do here to
12:01
Speaker 1: get back in the series? And are there are a
12:05
Speaker 1: couple things. I have two words that I jotted down
12:07
Speaker 1: on my notes app on my phone, divine intervention. That
12:11
Speaker 1: would be my first option. So the Knicks need to
12:15
Speaker 1: get together a rabbi, a priest, a miracle healer. They
12:20
Speaker 1: can bring them all together, medical medium, get them to
12:24
Speaker 1: have a huddle, a shaman and one or two witches
12:28
Speaker 1: and bring them all together there. They can huddle up
12:32
Speaker 1: and call an audible here. And if that doesn't work,
12:35
Speaker 1: they need to get a time machine. And they got
12:39
Speaker 1: to go back and get Serrano, a great character in
12:44
Speaker 1: a movie called Major League. And they can build a
12:46
Speaker 1: shrine in the next locker room and they can have
12:49
Speaker 1: two Jobu statues and then a couple mini bottles of rum,
12:54
Speaker 1: and that will inspire them to come back in this series. Listen,
12:58
Speaker 1: the Knicks are cooked. In fact, they're cooked the way
13:02
Speaker 1: I like my steak. Well done, Okay, charcoal, That's how
13:05
Speaker 1: cooked they are at this point. Stick a fork in them,
13:08
Speaker 1: do whatever you want, whatever cliche you want to throw
13:10
Speaker 1: out there for the Knicks. This is the team that
13:13
Speaker 1: the New York media machine was hyping up the greatest
13:16
Speaker 1: Nick team since Walt Clyde Fraser. The Year of the Nick.
13:21
Speaker 1: Everything had opened up, the parting of the Red Sea,
13:23
Speaker 1: in this case, the parting of the East River. It
13:26
Speaker 1: was already the Knicks playing a tomato canned Pacer team,
13:29
Speaker 1: and then they had Minnesota or OKC in the finals championship.
13:34
Speaker 1: Then they hadn't to play the games. Then they hadn't
13:37
Speaker 1: play it. Now the good news, and it is a
13:39
Speaker 1: positive year. At least the Nick fan got to experience
13:43
Speaker 1: the joy of a championship because I'm pretty sure they
13:46
Speaker 1: had a Ticker taparade in the Canyon of Heroes after
13:49
Speaker 1: New York beat Boston in the previous round. I know
13:52
Speaker 1: there was mayhem in Manhattan throwing trash at Pacer fans,
13:57
Speaker 1: the classy Knickerbocker supporters there. So they got to celebrate championship,
14:01
Speaker 1: So congratulations. Normally you have to actually win to celebrate.
14:05
Speaker 1: The Knicks did not. They will not, but hey, they
14:07
Speaker 1: got to celebrate what it was like to win a championship.
14:10
Speaker 1: That's kind of cool that you don't actually have to
14:12
Speaker 1: win the championship to have a celebration, and well, we
14:16
Speaker 1: like Jalen Brunson. We're not here to trash Jalen Brunson.
14:19
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, who's played well, good stats again, Tyreus Haliburton,
14:25
Speaker 1: ate your lunch, okay, or I guess your dinner because
14:28
Speaker 1: the game was played at night here, But Haliburton fifteen assists,
14:30
Speaker 1: no turnovers. The Knicks as a team had seventeen assists
14:35
Speaker 1: as a team and seventeen turnovers, So it's not that deep.
14:41
Speaker 1: It's an Ockham's razor situation. The simplest answers most likely
14:45
Speaker 1: the right answer. And don't even get me started, like
14:48
Speaker 1: Obi Toppin, who's not a key player for the Pacers,
14:52
Speaker 1: but is a former Nick who they gave away in
14:56
Speaker 1: some transaction a couple of years back, and now he
14:59
Speaker 1: is dancing on your grave with a couple of baskets
15:02
Speaker 1: lad in games that were key baskets in this series.
15:05
Speaker 1: Obi topping adding some salt to the wound. Now, if
15:11
Speaker 1: you want to get technical, and why not, we have
15:14
Speaker 1: plenty of time if you would like to get technical.
15:17
Speaker 1: The move here and and the move is rather rather simple.
15:22
Speaker 1: The move is that you need a couple of twisted ankles.
15:27
Speaker 1: If if you're the if you're the Knicks, you know Halliburton,
15:31
Speaker 1: and you start with that, you know something would happen.
15:33
Speaker 1: We don't want anyone to get hurt. But if something
15:35
Speaker 1: were to happen to Halliburton, he got hurt, that would
15:37
Speaker 1: be that would be interesting. Pascal siakam boy, if he
15:41
Speaker 1: got hurt, that would really change things. Uh. And so
15:43
Speaker 1: you've got those two things. And then if the NBA
15:46
Speaker 1: decides they need a game six and we find out
15:49
Speaker 1: the extender Scott Foster's in there for game five, that
15:53
Speaker 1: helps you out. Scott Foster's got a really good winning
15:56
Speaker 1: percentage for the team that's trailing in a series. So
15:58
Speaker 1: you bring Scott Foster and that get that'll get game,
16:01
Speaker 1: and then you have a twisted ankle that'll get you
16:02
Speaker 1: another game and then all of a sudden, the game
16:04
Speaker 1: set and you're alive. Do I think that's going to happen? No,
16:08
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't believe that's going to happen.
16:11
Speaker 1: We are headed towards tape delay NBA Finals territory with
16:16
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City and Indiana. And if you are someone that
16:21
Speaker 1: enjoys the agony of big corporations, having to deal with
16:27
Speaker 1: crap that is man alive. Good luck. Yeah, all right, well,
16:33
Speaker 1: hey listen. Advice to Jalen Brunson and Tom Thibboteau. You
16:37
Speaker 1: might want to start writing your talking point memo on
16:41
Speaker 1: the will Get Back Next Year speeches. What you do
16:45
Speaker 1: is you start out with a compliment. You see, the
16:47
Speaker 1: Pacers played very well. They deserve to win. And then
16:50
Speaker 1: you say, well, if a few things had been different,
16:53
Speaker 1: we would have won. And you talk about how much
16:55
Speaker 1: you love the team and how much you love the fans,
16:58
Speaker 1: and how much you believe the team is going to
16:59
Speaker 1: be right there and you're gonna bounce back, and I
17:01
Speaker 1: mean the whole thing. We know it's gonna happen. It
17:03
Speaker 1: happens all the time when you lose. That's what you do. Hey.

19:30
Speaker 1: More on that coming up in a minute. All right,
19:32
Speaker 1: back to it. And there is some controversy on the
19:34
Speaker 1: Mallor meet and greet in Vancouver. We'll get to that.
19:37
Speaker 1: Our first snaff foo in the Mallard Meet and greet.
19:41
Speaker 1: We'll go there in a second, also, is it true?
19:44
Speaker 1: An NBA star saying the quiet part out loud, Yes
19:47
Speaker 1: it is, and we have the audio to back it up. So,
19:49
Speaker 1: Tyrese Halliburton of the Pacers, there's a question he was asking. Now,
19:54
Speaker 1: it's a very long question, but his answer is the
19:58
Speaker 1: key to this. Now, if you've noticed in the postseason
20:01
Speaker 1: in the NBA, every single night, every single night, there
20:05
Speaker 1: is some kind of thing that happened that has never
20:08
Speaker 1: happened before. It's amaze every night this happens. One of
20:12
Speaker 1: the odds that every night something would happen that had
20:15
Speaker 1: never happened before. So there was a stat and I
20:19
Speaker 1: want you to listen how excited. I don't know who
20:21
Speaker 1: this reporter is. I have no idea who it is,
20:22
Speaker 1: but this guy got so excited he sounded like he
20:25
Speaker 1: had a chubby asking the question about the stat. And
20:28
Speaker 1: then listen to Halliburton's response.
20:31
Speaker 3: They go this tie, according to some of the research,
20:33
Speaker 3: people are doing the most assists ever to play in
20:36
Speaker 3: a finals game Conference finals without a turnover, and also
20:39
Speaker 3: the most combination point rebounds, assists, steals with no turnovers
20:45
Speaker 3: in a game ever.
20:46
Speaker 1: You know, ever, what is that? Did you know that?
20:49
Speaker 3: And what is that like to do that?
20:53
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't know that. I feel like we're
20:55
Speaker 1: making up stats at some point to make me look better.
20:59
Speaker 1: But yeah, exactly, Yes, I love that answer. Great answer,
21:06
Speaker 1: that's a wonderful answer, because that's exactly what's happening. Exactly
21:11
Speaker 1: what's happening. I've had some friends over the years that
21:13
Speaker 1: work in the stats world. In fact, Eddie who used
21:15
Speaker 1: to work at the show before the company whacked him,
21:18
Speaker 1: but Eddie worked in that world as well, and he
21:20
Speaker 1: used to tell us about the time where he was there,
21:23
Speaker 1: and what would happen is they'd say, Okay, get me
21:25
Speaker 1: a stat, and I want you know, it's got to
21:28
Speaker 1: be all time first player since blank, but it's got
21:31
Speaker 1: to go back a number of years. And if you
21:33
Speaker 1: know the way stats work, you can twist them around
21:38
Speaker 1: to fit any argument. In fact, often what happens, I know,
21:41
Speaker 1: in politics, they'll say, okay, we need here's my position,
21:44
Speaker 1: let's get some stats to back it up. And so
21:46
Speaker 1: they'll find some stats to back it up. But in
21:49
Speaker 1: the basketball world, or in sports in general, if you
21:52
Speaker 1: add enough variables, if you add an off qualifiers, you
21:56
Speaker 1: will have first one ever to do this. Just by
22:00
Speaker 1: adding on a Wednesday night, I when I did stuff
22:04
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers years ago. There's this great gentleman named
22:06
Speaker 1: Ross Porter who was ahead of his time, who is
22:09
Speaker 1: a Dodger broadcast. I love Ross, and Ross was great,
22:12
Speaker 1: but Ross love stats and he would like you know,
22:15
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Bright was on a Wednesday night in July,
22:18
Speaker 1: I have never lost when they had a three to
22:20
Speaker 1: one lead in the seventh inning and pitcher from Indiana
22:23
Speaker 1: on the mound. You know, he was, you just keep
22:25
Speaker 1: adding things and then you're going to You're going to
22:28
Speaker 1: get it as well. That's the first time ever that
22:31
Speaker 1: has happened. So bravo to Tyree Saliburton. Uh and he
22:36
Speaker 1: also he had a good sound night. Now, we ripped
22:39
Speaker 1: Caliburton when he let he didn't talk to the media
22:41
Speaker 1: as a coward because he played poorly in a game earlier.
22:44
Speaker 1: But hey, this guy's good man. Take advantage of the spotlight,
22:46
Speaker 1: because ain't nobody gonna be watching you when you play? Okay,
22:48
Speaker 1: see in the finals, all right, people are watching now
22:51
Speaker 1: because you're playing the Knicks. But another media narrative we
22:54
Speaker 1: mention this, the media just laying it on thick that
22:59
Speaker 1: John how Burton, the father of the father of Tyrese Aliburton,
23:04
Speaker 1: had been let go from Guantanamo Bay. He had been
23:07
Speaker 1: in a prison camp, and he had been let go
23:10
Speaker 1: and allowed to watch his kid play. And it was
23:12
Speaker 1: an amazing thing that he had left the just draconian conditions,
23:19
Speaker 1: inhumane conditions to watch his son play. So they asked
23:23
Speaker 1: Tyres Alliburton about it. And here's what he said. I
23:26
Speaker 1: know we're saying free pops, and Pops is free, but
23:29
Speaker 1: he was.
23:29
Speaker 2: Not in jail.
23:30
Speaker 3: He happened to be in a very beautiful home, sitting very.
23:35
Speaker 1: Pretty watching NBA basketball. He's just fun. Wait a minute,
23:38
Speaker 1: I thought he was in Siberia. I don't understand me.
23:41
Speaker 1: He said he was in Siberia. I don't get it.
23:44
Speaker 1: All right. Anyway, let's go to the phones and a
23:47
Speaker 1: longtime pacer apologist goes back many years Sean the hood
23:52
Speaker 1: guy who can taste it. He's so close he can
23:55
Speaker 1: take Hello. What's going on, Sean the hood guy?
23:57
Speaker 4: Man? Yeah, you're saying, right, hand tasted. But I'm not
24:01
Speaker 4: gonna drink the kool aid yet. They might go down
24:04
Speaker 4: there and lose this game just to take it back
24:06
Speaker 4: home and win it. On our floor, but don't turn it.
24:09
Speaker 4: And we're not gonna turn the lights out yet because
24:11
Speaker 4: you know what happens when you turn the lights out.
24:14
Speaker 4: It comes from the ghetto. Being from the hood. When
24:16
Speaker 4: you want you turn the lights out, that's when the
24:18
Speaker 4: roaches and the rets start to run. So keep the
24:21
Speaker 4: lights on the keep them bright so nobody won't come out.
24:23
Speaker 1: Oh, are we getting back to tails from the Hood,
24:25
Speaker 1: because I love the Tails from the Hood store. I mean,
24:28
Speaker 1: you uhould tell those all the time.
24:29
Speaker 4: I'm gonna hit you with one pretty soon. Oh, guys,
24:32
Speaker 4: been getting in trouble on podcasts and telling stories, so
24:35
Speaker 4: I've been trying to keep low with that. But I'm
24:36
Speaker 4: gonna hit you with a good one pretty soon.
24:38
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I got you. Well listen. I feel
24:41
Speaker 1: good for you and the other Pacer fans that listen.
24:43
Speaker 1: There aren't many of you, so I know you've been
24:45
Speaker 1: loyal to the Pacers over the years and the boys.
24:48
Speaker 1: You talk about a toss up if it is Indiana
24:50
Speaker 1: and okay, seeing the finals, that is a toss up situation.
24:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, Because I think I feel that the races might
24:56
Speaker 4: be kind of low because.
24:57
Speaker 1: Everybody kind of low. Come on, listen. I'll be watching,
25:01
Speaker 1: you'll be watching. So what do we care. That's that's
25:03
Speaker 1: an NBA problem. That's their problem. That ain't my problem.
25:07
Speaker 1: That's not your problem. That's their problem. That's television. That's
25:10
Speaker 1: ESPN's problem. Maybe c's problem. That ain't my problem.
25:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you know why, because they would love to
25:15
Speaker 4: see New York win.
25:17
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you and I'll probably do a model.
25:19
Speaker 1: I'll do a monologue about this at some point. If
25:21
Speaker 1: we do get Indiana OKC, there will be a dramatic
25:25
Speaker 1: change in the salary cap rules in the NBA because
25:28
Speaker 1: they are not going to allow this to happen on
25:30
Speaker 1: a regular basis. They are they will manipulate. They change
25:33
Speaker 1: the rules to accommodate the small market or the less
25:37
Speaker 1: big revenue teams to accommodate them. And if this is
25:41
Speaker 1: what we're going to get, they will change those rules
25:44
Speaker 1: to make sure the big market teams end up getting
25:47
Speaker 1: back to the finals. So enjoy this because it's not
25:49
Speaker 1: going to last that long.
25:50
Speaker 4: Hey, I might have my own parade down for the
25:53
Speaker 4: road pretty soon. So you never know.
25:55
Speaker 1: You should you should? Yeahah, let us know you should.
26:00
Speaker 1: That would be hilarious if you got You gotta get
26:02
Speaker 1: like a convertible, right, and then have like two or
26:05
Speaker 1: three your buddies and you can all do like you should.
26:07
Speaker 1: And if you call the local like Newspeople, they'll probably
26:10
Speaker 1: cover it. You know, you just do it on them.
26:12
Speaker 1: You'll go viral pacer parade down Figueroa in in lad
26:17
Speaker 1: be great.
26:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got a couple of homeboys that got a
26:19
Speaker 4: little rider, so that might, you know, bring out the
26:21
Speaker 4: crowd or something like that. It ain't nobody, ain't nobody
26:23
Speaker 4: gonna beat it, but who me and Mike.
26:24
Speaker 1: Im, Yeah, it's not gonna be. Now, it's gonna be.
26:28
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a big parade. It'll be a parade,
26:30
Speaker 1: not a big parade, but you know, a small parade.
26:32
Speaker 1: But that's fine. So yeah, small market, right exactly exactly.
26:35
Speaker 4: All right, Hey, if it do happen, though, I love
26:38
Speaker 4: to celebrate with y'all, so you know, I just call
26:39
Speaker 4: the check in and let you know. I'm not gonna
26:41
Speaker 4: count my chickens yet. If we lose, we lose, we
26:43
Speaker 4: think it back home and take it home.
26:45
Speaker 1: All right, all right, very good, All right, there's a
26:47
Speaker 1: seawan the hood got check it and ferg Dog writes
26:49
Speaker 1: in from so Kelly says it's only been two games
26:52
Speaker 1: and the Chris Taylor signing is already paying off in
26:55
Speaker 1: spades for the Halos. He's had some really impressive swings tonight.
26:59
Speaker 1: How bad lead to you and the your Doyers miss
27:02
Speaker 1: him now, Ben, Yeah, it's devastating. Now, don't tell anybody
27:06
Speaker 1: for Doug. I actually was watching and then I was
27:09
Speaker 1: in the car driving and I listened to the The
27:11
Speaker 1: Angel broadcast and things are so bad for the Angels.
27:15
Speaker 1: How bad are they? They're they're so bad. They're like, well,
27:18
Speaker 1: they're making hard contact, they're not scoring run, they're making
27:21
Speaker 1: hard they but you know your team blows. When the
27:24
Speaker 1: broadcasters are talking about like the bat speed and the
27:29
Speaker 1: nerd stats, that is a sign things are not going
27:32
Speaker 1: well for your baseball team. They're gonna go in an
27:34
Speaker 1: eight game losing streak. Now, I know it appears that way.
27:38
Speaker 1: King Roy writes and says the pace is one because
27:40
Speaker 1: the NBA. The NBA is rigging the playoffs to show
27:43
Speaker 1: that these small markets can win against the big markets.
27:46
Speaker 1: The NBA has been rigging the playoffs for years. And yes,
27:48
Speaker 1: I do believe my Bucks championship was rigged because it
27:51
Speaker 1: was best for the business of basketball. Yes, well that's
27:55
Speaker 1: whatever happens is rigged. That's the It doesn't matter what happened.
27:59
Speaker 1: So I think the NBA does rig the lottery occasionally.
28:01
Speaker 1: I only they do it all time generational talent. They'll
28:05
Speaker 1: do a solid, do a good mitzvah for certain team.
28:07
Speaker 1: So I do believe they rig that. Absolutely Cleveland losing,
28:12
Speaker 1: Lebron's leaving, we'll do you solid. We'll get you a
28:14
Speaker 1: couple first picks overall, will help you out on that.
28:17
Speaker 1: New Orleans they got the number one pick. The league
28:20
Speaker 1: owned the team and they sold the team, and we'll
28:23
Speaker 1: set you up with a good number one pick. And
28:26
Speaker 1: then the player turned out to be trash. So we
28:30
Speaker 1: have a Mallard meet and Greek coming up on Thursday night.
28:33
Speaker 1: This is our Wednesday show, So Thursday night to Malloy
28:36
Speaker 1: May and we have our first controversy on the mat.
28:40
Speaker 1: So the malor Meeting Great is on Thursday, May twenty ninth,
28:44
Speaker 1: Courtside on Maine. If you're in Vancouver, we'd love to
28:47
Speaker 1: meet you. Come on down and say hello, hang out
28:49
Speaker 1: with us, me a lot of fun. I have no
28:51
Speaker 1: idea how many people are gonna be there. Weld think
28:52
Speaker 1: they'll be a good crowd, but we don't know. And
28:54
Speaker 1: we've never done something like this in Vancouver before, so
28:57
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of fun. Seven to ten.
29:00
Speaker 1: You can get there a little earlier than that, you know,
29:02
Speaker 1: depends when everyone shows up. But I should be there
29:05
Speaker 1: by seven. I'm flying in my flight, depending on traffic
29:09
Speaker 1: and customs and all that, so I don't think it'll
29:11
Speaker 1: take long. So should be there by seven for that,
29:14
Speaker 1: And so we're looking forward to that. Now. The controversy.
29:17
Speaker 1: So at the at the end of yesterday's show, I
29:18
Speaker 1: was was talking to Lorraine. I was trying to make plans.
29:20
Speaker 1: I figured, you know, we're a team here. We're going
29:22
Speaker 1: to do things as as a few things as a team.
29:24
Speaker 1: I thought we would go out and enjoy.
29:26
Speaker 5: Vancouver, which is why I haven't made a lot of
29:28
Speaker 5: plans yet.
29:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I was going over Souff with Vancouver with Loraina,
29:31
Speaker 1: and to my amazement, I found out that Lorena and
29:34
Speaker 1: Coop have planned a dinner and chose not to invite
29:37
Speaker 1: me to the dinner. And I thought, initially I thought, well,
29:40
Speaker 1: asked they'll be doing and I talked to a couple
29:42
Speaker 1: of radio friends. I said, well, wait a minute, why
29:43
Speaker 1: are they They're going because of your show. You're the
29:45
Speaker 1: you're the host of the show. They should should have
29:47
Speaker 1: invited you. And I said, well, you know, I don't
29:49
Speaker 1: know if it's that big a deal.
29:50
Speaker 2: Uh.
29:51
Speaker 1: And then I thought about well, it's kind of kind
29:52
Speaker 1: of rude. I thought, I don't know. I want to,
29:56
Speaker 1: but I want to ask you, the listener, do you
29:58
Speaker 1: think it is rude that Coop set up a dinner
30:02
Speaker 1: with Lorraina and everyone else on the traveling party other
30:06
Speaker 1: than me and did not invite because I think it's
30:10
Speaker 1: kind The more I thought about it, I thought it
30:11
Speaker 1: was kind of rude.
30:12
Speaker 6: I know you you would not have you would not go,
30:16
Speaker 6: but do.
30:16
Speaker 1: You want I don't think you know social etiquette though
30:19
Speaker 1: I think social etiquette is allow me that decision. See,
30:23
Speaker 1: social etiquette is not. I don't think you want to go,
30:25
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna.
30:26
Speaker 6: I know you don't want to go. It's not I
30:28
Speaker 6: don't think you know. I know I've worked with you
30:30
Speaker 6: for a decade. I know you don't want to go.
30:32
Speaker 1: You understand I have the power to say no, Like
30:35
Speaker 1: I invite people to my holiday party. Everybody I don't
30:37
Speaker 1: want to hang out with, but I still invite them,
30:40
Speaker 1: so I allow them to say no because I know
30:42
Speaker 1: they're not going to show.
30:43
Speaker 7: So you want just a pointless gesture.
30:45
Speaker 1: I want you to be polite and say, here, we're
30:49
Speaker 1: going to this restaurant. Maybe I'll show up and maybe
30:51
Speaker 1: I won't eat. I'll just hang out for the social
30:53
Speaker 1: element of it. How about that.
30:55
Speaker 7: I don't think you can do that. It's a it's
30:57
Speaker 7: a Michelin Star restaurant.
30:58
Speaker 1: I don't care what Michelin start shows a tire company.
31:02
Speaker 1: Tire company are.
31:03
Speaker 7: Kind of mining coops.
31:04
Speaker 5: Little thing.
31:05
Speaker 1: Now I understand we've done. It's time I thought about it.
31:08
Speaker 1: You guys do your thing. I will do my thing. No,
31:11
Speaker 1: that's not what you guys. Have a great time. I
31:13
Speaker 1: thought it was one of the rudest things I've been in.
31:15
Speaker 1: I've traveled with baseball teams, I've traveled. That is one
31:18
Speaker 1: of the rudest things I've ever experienced. But maybe I'm wrong.
31:21
Speaker 2: I don't.
31:21
Speaker 1: I'll let you guys vote on that if you want.
31:23
Speaker 5: Cut into your head too, because yesterday you were not
31:25
Speaker 5: upset about it. Yeah, well, so who put us in
31:28
Speaker 5: your head.
31:29
Speaker 8: I mentioned, because you know what, for putting such toxic
31:33
Speaker 8: I did before our trip. I did think, and you
31:38
Speaker 8: know what, we can alter the reservation if you want
31:40
Speaker 8: to eat rabbit.
31:41
Speaker 7: If you want to rabbit, Ben.
31:43
Speaker 1: That's not the point. I don't think you understand the point.
31:45
Speaker 7: It's just I do get the point.
31:47
Speaker 1: Again. I mentioned to a few people, and they could
31:49
Speaker 1: not believe it. They said, wait a minute, the Ben
31:53
Speaker 1: Malor shows going there meet and me and and that,
31:55
Speaker 1: and they couldn't. And I was like, you know the
31:57
Speaker 1: more you yes, that is a he just that's like
32:01
Speaker 1: one of the rudest things.
32:02
Speaker 7: I have ever not going as the show.
32:05
Speaker 1: Again, I don't think you understand the point.
32:07
Speaker 7: I don't know what I understand the point. You love
32:10
Speaker 7: being offended.
32:11
Speaker 5: Well, we will go as the show. But you took
32:12
Speaker 5: a separate flight.
32:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I don't live near you people, so.
32:16
Speaker 7: That I don't live near Lax I don't either.
