• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Draft later today.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Whoo.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But we're gonna start out with playoff pro bouncy ball.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Why we are allowed. We don't talk much basketball during
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the regular season because the players stopped caring about the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: regular seasons, so why why should we care? Seemingly that
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: they do care about the playoffs. And it was the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: showcase game of the night. Deep in the heart of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Texas is where we began, and oh what a night
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it was. In Houston, Golden State trying to snatch another
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: road win. While the Rockets were hoping that they would
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: actually end the misery, they got embarrassed in many ways.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: They were a country mile behind Golden State in the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: first game, so trying to even up the books. We
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: know that was the setup, so I thought maybe he watched,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: but I don't know, maybe he didn't watch. There were
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: other stuff going on. A Jalen Green playing the role
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of sniper. He was a skunk in the first game.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: He stunk up the arena, but on this particular night,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: made not one, not two, not three, not four, not five,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: not six, not seven, how about eight moneyball eight three
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: pointers for Jalen Green and thirty eight points. Thirty eight
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: points as the Rockets get into the wind column and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: they take down the Warriors.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: The series is now one.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Up, best of five. Golden State has home court advantaged.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: The seventh seated Warriors don't bury the lead, my man.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: They were short handed. They were shorthanded and then some
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: as Jimmy Butler, the butler did it. Jimmy was not
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: doing the shimmy, Jimmy Butler leaving calling it a pelvic contusion.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: He landed on his took us. It appears to be
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a tailbone injury. He was undercut. He was undercut by
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a Rockets player. There happened late first quarter. Late first quarter.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Now that was not bad enough, which was worse for
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the worst because Butler left the injury of the Warriors
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: were also shorthanded as one of their role players, Randon Pajemski.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: He also had a problem with his stuff. Oh my stomach,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: bad stomach. So he pitched a shutout I think play
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: like fourteen minutes or something like that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: He was useless.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So Game number three is on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that will be in northern California. So let us discuss
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the question how much trouble are the Warriors in now. Normally,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: when you go on the road and you get a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: split and you're the team that does not have home court,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that is a wonderful mitzvah. But how much trouble of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the war is in if Jimmy Butler is down for
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the count and cannot return in this series. So I've
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: got general Electric, secret blend and mechanical engineer, and we
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: going to boggle the mind, is what we're going to do,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: unless we don't. So a Jimmy Butler is the antithesis
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of the standard issue NBA player.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Let's start with that, all Right's start with that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: The modern ballplayer is a mister Softy in the NBA.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'm wrong on this. I look at Jimmy Butler.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons I've appreciated watching him play over
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the years is he's a throwback.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: He's a red.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Blooded American alpha male, and outside of his personal beef
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: with pat Riley, when he held a wildcat strike there
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: in Miami. When I've seen Jimmy Butler play, it appears
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: he's got dragon balls and he's the kind of guy
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that would just take some pharmacy great ibuprofen and suck
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: it up. So if playoff Jimmy is d O and E,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: then this becomes a general electric situation. That means you
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: open up the ge oven there. You take the warriors
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: out of that oven because they are cooked. And if
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: they want to bring in a motivational speaker, may I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: recommend bringing in Nick van Exell, who can say one, two, three,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: can kun because that's where they're headed.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Now, sure you can have.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: The next man up philosophy, and that's certainly what the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: warrior is going to do. If Butler's out, And as
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: someone that's injured my tailbone before and I had to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: sit on one of those rings, you know the things
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you said, the pads with the ring on it because
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you can't sit down because your butt hurts. Yeah, I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: had to do that. Good luck coming back and playing
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: at a high level. Now, could Butler return as a decoy? Sure,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: But if this is as bad as they're saying it is,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it maybe they're lying.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: They lie a lot in the NBA. They like to
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: do that.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: They embellish injuries as part of the business of basketball.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: But assuming he's an actual legit injury the way it's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: being described, good luck being anything more than a decoy anyway.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: So next man up that would be Jonathan Kaminga, that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: he would be activated. The problem is Kaminga has been
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: on the knotty list for the Warriors. I'm not even
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a Warriors fan, and I know this. I've seen the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: stories you've sent me, some of the stories about how
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: he's not in the rotation. He's just been after games
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: sadly shooting jump shots and empty arenas. So he got
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: his opportunity. He's been on the natty list. Kaminga, he
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: comes off the natty list.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: How did he do?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Kaminga? He played twenty six minutes, had eleven points,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: three rebounds to assists, and he shot thirty three point
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: three percent half the Sign of the Devil. It was unremarkable, unremarkable.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And so that's the guy at Butler's not able to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: get going. That's the guy. Good luck with him being
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the guy. Now, there was the moment within the moment
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: here in this game, Golden State was lurking in the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: shadows there, trying to sneak up like a snake in
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the grass.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Even though they were shorthanded. They did get within eleven at.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: One point, which is still not all that great. That's
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: not all that great. However, around that time, there was
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a rhubarb that took place. So what did you make,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Golden States? Draymond Green getting into a shouting match with
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Fred van Vliet late in the fourth quarter, So just imagine,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: if you.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Will, in the cartoon bubble over your head. There was
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: some some back.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And forth and Draymond got right there nose to nose.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: And if anyone ate garlic, the other person would have
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: been knocked out.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: It was a doggie bag filled with historyonics is what
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it was. By modern basketball. This game was somewhat physical.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I do not agree with the level of physicality that
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: was described by the broadcasters.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Seemed like they were going a little too far over
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: the top.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But Raymond Green and Fred Van Vliet stood toe to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: toe and they exchanged.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Naughty words, naughty naughty words, and then they got separated.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And it was that secret blend of T and B,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: theatrics and bravado. But it's fake bravado, as most NBA
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: dust ups happened these days. Yeah, the last real NBA
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: dust up was the Malice at the Palace in Michigan
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: there with the Pistons and the Pacers, and since then
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: they've all just been nothing but nonsense it which.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Is likely better that way. It's probably better that way.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Anyway, you had the standard fake tough guys, the teammates
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that run over to protect the fake tough guys, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: so you could you can almost imagine Draymond as he's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: surrounded by his warrior teammates.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Hold me back, bro, hold me back, bro. You know
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: that kind of thing.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And then you had the h town crowd serenading's Raymond Green,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: chanting f you Draymon. More than that in a minute.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: All right, now, last Warrior. We're gonna move away from
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the playoff games. We get to the other matchups later on,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: but we move on now to Dallas because there isn't say, Ben,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: why would you go to Dallas? Do you know the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Mavericks are not in the playoffs? Why would you bring
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: up the Mavericks? Well we go where the the News
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: of the day takes this, and there's another chapter and
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: more chatter on the worst decision in sport that took
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: place this basketball season. So kick back and relax and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: enjoy the tale we are hearing now. The reason for
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the viral, viral divorce, the breakup herd round basketball between
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Louka and the mav Rex could that's a weasel word,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: could go all the way back to a couple weeks
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: before the transaction, which was not a trade because the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: trade you get equal value wasn't a trade, was giveaway.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Before the Mavericks gave away Luca, we're now reading that
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the new MAVs ownership tried to approach Doncik about conditioning
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: also known as hey, stop being a fat tub of goo,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Luca getting shape, fatty And how'd that work out?
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Patrick Dumont, Patrick Dumont, nobody's chant chanting.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Fire doomat nobody's doing that. It's fire Nico. Anyway, this guy, Patrick.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Dumont, who won the not the genetic lottery, he won
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the marriage lottery. Through marriage, he now gets to own
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the Mavericks and he had a less than positive some
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: would call negative encounter with Luca before giving the green
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: light to send his ass out of Dallas.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: So we'll frame it this way.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Luka Donzik had a issue a falling out with the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: new Mavericks owner weeks before he was traded or given away.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Do you find this significant? Are these two things related?
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: And I would respond to that by saying, is a
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: wildfire hot? Is a wildfire hot?
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: This sounds like a plant. If you ask where did
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: this story come from? Randomly, I would say, based on
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: my years of investigative talk radio, it is more likely
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: than not that this was leaked by somebody who is
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: connected with Nico Nico Harrison, who has now held two
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: horrific news conferences about this trade.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: And it's likely.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: It's like, hey, wait a minute, you know this guy
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: signed off on it, and he recommended it, and so
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: let's throw him under the proverbial team plane as it's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: taxing for takeoff there. And so it sounds like, hey,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: what my fault. Dumont's the guy, Hey my fault, blame Dumont.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Now if true, If true, the mav Rec franchise was
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: harpooned by a mechanical engineer, you realize that this guy
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: could have become an HVAC technician or a civil engineer
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: or something like that. If your fine jobs instead Patrick Dumont,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: who did get a mechanical engineering degree from John Hop
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: University there in Baltimore, go Blue Jays, and then went
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to a business school. He married into the Adelson family,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the gambling family, So through marriage he married into that family,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and the old man died and he rose to the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: level of owner of the Maverick. You talk about a
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: hostile takeover, all right, So we could totally see Luca
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: getting confronted by somebody he doesn't really know, this guy Dumont,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Patrick Dumont, a stranger, and Luca being a total dink
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: with the guy and the highbrow owner of the Mavericks
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: who thinks his poopy doesn't smelly and used to work
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: at bear Stearns on Wall Street, going scorched earth.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: And saying, all right, this trade this guy and Nico Harrison.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: It's not to say Nico didn't cheer for that to happen,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: but ultimately, a trade like this does not happen without
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the owner giving the okay, and so it's just not possible.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: There is not a dimension where that happens. It just
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: doesn't take place.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour, Our lead, this hour is
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: from Boston. We peak around the playoff card Eastern Conference,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Eastern Conference out of the bracket. The Boston basketball team
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: playing without Jason Tatum.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Oh my aching wrist out. My yeah.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: He came down hard on the wrist there and said
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: he was perfectly fine, everything was good. Yet he did
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: not play in game two versus Orlando, and this was
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: one of the first games of the night there. I
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this or not, if you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: were checking it out, maybe you were objecting to the
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: game and watching something else. You said, enough is enough,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: But we watched so you would not have to. Jalen Brown,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: who is being paid as a number umber one type player. Well,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown went out and played. He had thirty six points,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: ten rebounds, bib assists. And the story here was not
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: so much Jalen Brown. It was Chris tops Porzingis, who
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: dramatically returned to the game after getting bloody, a big
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: bloody gash right on his forehead, right in the middle
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: of his forehead. Had twenty points and the Celtics beat
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the Magic and so Boston up two to OHO in
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the series, and they win a game without Tatum, who
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: has a bone bruise a contrusion. He's got a bone
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: bruise in his right wrist and he missed a playoff
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: game for the first time in his career, so he
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: was out. But Boston up two oh and they are
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: in good shape here, lied by his many's fifteen in
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the second half.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: They did hold off a mild.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Push by the team from Mickey Town in Florida. There
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the Celtics had twelve three pointers, which is not that
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: many for them.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: They were twenty five of thirty three from the charity Stride.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Game three is Friday in Central Florida.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: The bigger story here, though, is the subplot, and that
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: is the moment that we will remember not long term,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: but we'll remember it for the short term. Celtics center
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Chris tops Porzingis went to the locker room with a
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: massive dash right there on his forehead, blood in the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: air everywhere, and I came back out. They slapped a
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: bandage on his forehead and he shot a pair of
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: foul shots.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: He took a full elbow from.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: A guy I've never heard of on the Orlando Magic.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Is it Goga Bitadza. That's a mouthful anyway, for me,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: not for him. And that was in the third quarter. Now,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: during the review, there was a lengthy review as they
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to watch every possible angle and high death of
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the elbow from Bitadza Bitadze rather as it hit Porzingis.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: So during the review, Chris Stops dramatically emerged from the
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: locker room. The crowd went wild. The crowd went wild.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: He had blood down the back of his head. He
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: was completely disheveled and at bandage right there in the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: four As we mentioned, he re entered the game, connected
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: one of two foul shots and then left the game again,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: and that led to the great SoundBite of the night.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Joel Mizzoula Joel Missoula as only he can do commenting
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: on Christops Porzingis, and I think we have the audio
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: on list listen to Joe as he works himself up
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: into a crescendo.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the audio tape.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: I like his overall just approach. I think he has
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: an ability in innate ability to take things very serious
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: and at the same time, you know, have great perspective
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: and then you know you see how he I think
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: he can control his environment really well with how he
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: handles the crowd and how he handles the physicality of it,
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: and he can maintain his kind of his poise and
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: he just has a great way about him. And I
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: think that that that helps us. And like, yeah, I do.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: I love watching him. I like watching him bleed on
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: the court. I think it's important. Uh and then he,
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: you know, he comes back in and does his job.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: So I do like that about Yeah, I like that
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: about it. Let's we play that this this highlight that
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: last part. Listen, listen again. This is the this is
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: the money part of it. Listen closely.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: I like watching them bleed on the court. I think
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: it's important.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. I like watching the bleed on
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: the cord. I think it's important. A right, So let
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: us discuss the question.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Is there a deeper meaning to the Celtic coach Joe
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Missoula Let him play Joe Joe Mizzoula being happy that
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Chris stops porzingis played covered in blood. So my observations,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I've got Kleenex, milkman, and Paris baguette, and we will
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: to spike the punch bowl, is what we're gonna do.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: We're gonna spike the punch bowl, all right, So numb burn?
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Can I get a numb burn?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: To answer the question, is there a deeper meaning of this?
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I am nodding my head. Yes, I'm nodding my head. Yeah, yeah,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I'm going yes, I'm gone. I'mna get busy if I
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: keep doing this. Aside from Joe Mazoula continuing to be
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the quirky quote machine of the NBA. Now, I am not,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: as you know, a psychologist. I am just a mere
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: peon in the radio world, the overnight gas bag. However,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I can't play a shrink on the radio. And here's
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: my diagnose. Joe Mazoo was confessing. That was a confessional
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: that he is concerned. The coach of the Celtics is
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: worried that the reigning NBA champions are soft, and there
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: was meaning in that. Coach Joe does not want to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: coach team of flowers. He doesn't want the pussy willow
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: flower team out there.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: He doesn't.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Now, to rephrase this for those of you a little
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: slow in the back of the room, Joe Mizula is
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: worried about the Kleenex. He wants to avoid a tissue
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: paper team and instead he wants that thick scar. Tissue
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: is what he would like, and it's unbecoming if you're
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: not like that. You might remember when when Jason Tatum
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: got hurt in Game one, Missoula ran out there and
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: chased the trainer away. Do you remember that he pushed
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the trainer away for the Celtics, the medical staff away,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: because he's trying to toughen up Tatum. Turned out, Tatum
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: missed the game. But porzingis he's out there. There's blood
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: on the floor, there's blood everywhere, and Mozilla's his quote is, hey,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: he was happy. He liked watching him bleed out on
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the court right there. He enjoyed it. He enjoyed it,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: And so there we are. And it's pretty wild, though,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: considering that porzingis his reputation, one of the reasons he
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: kept moving around from the Knickerbockers to the Mavericks and
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: all these other teams he's played for Washington.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: His reputation is fragile, fradgile.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: He's your prototypical modern NBA ballplayer who misses a ton
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: of games.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: He's always hurt. He was hurt last year when the
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Celtics went on their run and they would win the championship.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: He got hurt in that run, all right, now, page two.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: So what intrigues you the most about this individual? Christops
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Berzingis moment for the Celtics. So for me, it's the
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: obvious cinematic nature of the event, right, the cinematic nature.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: If this had been during an NBA Finals game, it
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: would have been on par on par with Paul Pierce,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: who needed a wheelchair because he soiled his pants. He
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: had poopy in the pantsy and he had to get
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: a wheelchair because he didn't want people to see the
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: streak down the.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Back of his pants.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Now, Chris on this one was the milkman. Now, not
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: milkman Mike in Colorado, although Milkman Mike in Colorado was
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: in Boston recently. No, no, no, he was a different milkman.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Because Porzingis was playing to the crowd. He was smiling
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: from ear to ear. He was milking the malman, just
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: enjoying the hell out of it. As the crowd chanted
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: his name, Porzingis looked like he was in some kind
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: of a fight, like a Rocky Balboa old school boxing movie.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Bloodied, battered, bruised, and completely beaten. But he came back
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: into the game.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: And was he actually growing a unicorn or did somebody
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: take the unicorn off of his forehead? Now, as for
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum, that particular injury is at a big deal,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: a little deal, or no deal. So I have it
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: as a no deal. I don't think it's a big deal.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Even though he missed the game. I believe the reason
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: he missed the game is because the Celtics don't consider
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: the Magic a threat.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: And they were right.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: They went out there without without Tatum and without Porzingis
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: for a stretch and they still beat Orlando. So out
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: of an abundance of caution, remember that back in twenty
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: twenty shut the whole world down. I have an abundance
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: of caution, But out of an abundance of caution, they
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: rested Tatum. Had this been a tougher opponent, a worthy opponent,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: we believe on this side of the microphones, that he
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: would have played.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: He would have played all right. Final point.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Now, I was gonna talk about the calves and the heat,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and I attempted to find a talking point.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I don't want to shortchange the people of Cleveland. I
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: don't want to do that. I could not find a
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: talking point. I could not find a talking point. There's
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: nothing there. I know that Miami was within a couple
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: of points late in the fourth quarter, but there was
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: just nothing that really stood out, and so we moved
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: to the diamond. Baseball barbarism a major league baseball team complaining,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: complaining about work conditions. Is it a baseball team that
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: plays in a minor league ballpark the Tampa Bay Rays.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: No.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Is it a baseball team that plays in a minor
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: league ballpark the Sacramento Athletics.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: No.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: The team that wears the halo, but making it seem
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: like they're playing in baseball hell. Now, to set this up,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Bajor League baseball teams normally play an afternoon game on
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: a getaway day before or they go to or leave
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the West Coast.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: That's typically how it's done.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: You fly to or from the West Coast, you play
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: a day because you got to sit on the plane
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: for a few hours, god forbid, And especially if there's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: no often you don't have a day off between games.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: You play the early game and then you go out
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: and you play you play the following day at night.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: The Angels our schedule here on this Thursday to play
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Pirates the Bucos. There's only one.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Person I know that cares about that game. That's Seria Sean.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: So the Pirates and the Angels are gonna play in Anaheim.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: And then the Angels will take a chartered bus. They
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: will have an escort. They will go to the airport.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: They will go to a special part of the airport
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: not to be touched by the unwashed. They will then
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: board a chartered flight. They will then fly to Minnesota.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: They will then get off the plane to a private
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: bus with an escort, and they will then go to
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: a hotel where they will check in at a five
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: star hotel and then play a bunch of road games
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota starting the following night. And the Angels are
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: spitting mad about this. Among the players, you have closer
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Kenley Jansen, which is still very odd that guy blew
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: some big games with the Dodgers. Kenley Jansen and outfielder
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Taylor Ward have called the travel schedule, among other things,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: quote not healthy, clost quote and vote unfair. They're arguing
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: it creates a competitive disadvantage. Ken Lee Jansen in particular,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: sounded like someone might die.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Because of this.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Do you have empathy for ken Lee Jansen and the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Angels and their public complaints about their travel schedule? So
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I will be the judge, jury and executioner on this one,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: and motion denied, Motion denied. Now the Angels, I don't
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: know if they have any sponsors left, because who I've
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: watched any of those games, But the Angels should be
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: sponsored by Paris Baguette, because that is a team filled
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: with cream puffs, that is a cream puff team. Complaining
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: about the schedule. I thought everyone learned this. I thought
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: one of the lessons of sport. One of the lessons
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: that we learn in sport is complaining about the schedule
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: does not change the schedule. And that the teams that
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: are good, the teams that win, the teams that elebrate
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: victories on a regular basis, they focus their energy on
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: adapting and using that as a badge of honor, a
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: badge of honor, preparing overcoming that that is an obstacle,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: That is machismo, that is masculinity. You've overcome an obstacle,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Not the modern athlete, not the Angels.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, oh booo, it's hard. It's so difficult.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Ash shut up, so stupid, it is so dumb. Rather
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: than say, Okay, we're gonna use this as an exciting
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: thing to build some mental toughness, and we're gonna show
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: what kind of tough team we are. You acknowledge it
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: and then you rise above it. The angels, Oh no,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: it's not healthy.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: It's unfair. Oh my god.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: We gotta go on a chartered plane, a charted You're
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: not sitting on Southwest Group B. You're on a chartered plane.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: You're not flying Spirit Airlines where if you breathe and
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: spit a loogie they.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Charge you for it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Then you get on your luxury chartered bus, you go
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: to your five star hotel with eight gazillion thread count chets.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: You talk about hardship, you talk about overcoming, overcoming adverse.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like skid Row amazing courage in sports.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: The angels courage in sports so embarrassing.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: He's so stupid. Oh my god, I saw you gotta
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: be kidding me.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: And the other part of it is they're actually complaining
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: about ownership because the team decides the time of the game.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: The home team decides.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: There are rules, there are rules, But really, what the
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Angels entire team is doing is complaining about Artie Marino.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: But yet see they want to be paid as much
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: moneys they get, as far as I know, and so
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the Angels they know if they played the Pirates at
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: one o'clock on a Thursday afternoon in April, would have
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: been seven and a half people there. Seven and one
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: really short person would have been there. Okay, seven and
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: a half people would have been a game. They played
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the game at night, they got fifteen people, so they
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: double the attendance at night.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: So that's why they did that. It's just wonderful.
• 29:16

  Speaker 1: we go, Here we go.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: This is one big Ben gets grilled koblu.
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: So the Rams won't say much about whether they are
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: looking to draft a quarterback, but we do know that
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: things are year to year with Matthew Stafford, who isn't
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: exactly a spring chicken.
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: Now, Ben, do you.
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: Think the Rams wait until next offseason to address their
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: long term future at quarterback?
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: So The Rams are in the try to win now
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: period still, so they need help on the offensive line,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: they need help in the secondary.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: They'd like to add a tight.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: End, so they could draft somebody in the middle rounds,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: but it's not a priority. And McVeigh so cocky and
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: confident that when Stafford leaves, he thinks he can turn
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: anyone into a serviceable quarterback in the NFL.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: So it is not.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Something I would expect the Rams to draft high.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: We'll see. I mean, I don't think any of these
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: guys are all that great in the draft. Next, that's
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: a quarterback.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: As we mentioned on the show yesterday, Celtics guard Peyton
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: Pritchard won sixth Man of the Year, but Calves owner
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: Dan Gilbert insists that it should have been his guy,
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: Tied Jerome, saying, anybody who watched Calves basketball this season
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: knows Ti Jerome is the sixth man of the year.
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: Ben was Jerome overlooked? So let me get straight.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: The owner of the Caves, Dan Gilbert, did he write
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: a letter? Did he do it in a letter? No, listen,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: t Ty. Every time I watched the Calves, Ti Jerome's
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: playing great, He's making moneyballs, he's making big shots.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: He looks wonderful. The problem is.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: That Peyton Pritchard is he was just better and the
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Celtics were you know, they didn't have a better record
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: than the Calves and all that in the regular season,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: but Peyton Pritchard's impact was greater than Ti Jerome. And
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Ti Jerome plays in Cleveland, So yeah, you're overlood when
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: you're playing in Cleveland. That's kind of how that works.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: You know, Tiger Roones played for four different NBA teams.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: I didn't know. I'd never even heard of a guy.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this was the first I had heard of him.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: All right, next, basketball fans do not want to see
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: another thunder Grizzlies matchup. There were calls for a mercy
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: rule in the series all over social media Tuesday evening, Ben,
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: do you think Memphis has any chance of winning a
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: game at home or will this be a sweep for Okse?
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, they have a chance because you have a bad
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: shooting night Shade yogis, Alexander hasn't played well.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: The officials.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a shot that you get at least
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: one win, but they're just not competitive. They don't have
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: that fighting spirit in Memphis, so based on the way
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: that they just kind of go through the motions.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: I'd say no, but yeah, they can steal a game
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: with some help. How did we do you pass?

• 32:34
  Speaker 7: All right, We're gonna start off with a question from
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: Tony in the Bay.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Hi Tony.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: Now, I feel like I have an advantage because he
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: told me this a while ago, so I've had time
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: to think about it. But okay, the question is would
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: you rather and this is gonna you have to do
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: this for the rest of your life. Would you rather
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: talk like Jack Sparrow or walk like C three po.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: So I'm I'm an introvert.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I don't like to talk to people all them the job,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: so I'd be fine.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: That would just give me a reason not to talk
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: to people, So I'd do the talking. Lorena, I love voices.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I'd probably do Jack Sparrow for sure. You'd like that, Okay,
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: for the rest of your life. Yeah, I think i'd
