  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports

  Speaker 1: Radio ninety two five and on the Altitude Sports Radio App.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know where we go from here, I really don't.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I'm pacing around to my room. I'm broken hearted because
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: it was for six years, our team was built on
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: hustle and heart and being the underdog and coming back
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: from three to one deficits and not this team like that.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: That's the nuggets of the past. And I don't know,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: say what you will about Michael Malone. A lot of
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: that is on him. He built the culture to what
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: it was. And I'm not sold on Adamman as a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: as a leader of men. I think he's a perfectly
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: fine coach. X's and o's offensively with his ato plays,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: but he's just clearly not a leader of men.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: That's a voice of the people on the Altitude Sports
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Radio App. By the way, you can listen to us
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: anywhere on that app. It's powered by the Will Height
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Law Firm, Andrey Lawyer's going to Willheightwinds dot com. That's
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Willhightwinds dot com. But it's that little microphone at the
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: bottom of the app. You can send everything direct h
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: directly to Nelly's ear holes, So if you want to
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: do that, go ahead. Again, we don't know when this
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: App's and Wild series is going to start. Could be Sunday,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: could be Monday. We don't know, but I do think today,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: just because of how the Nuggets season ended, and I
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: don't know which game was the most frustrating Game three,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I think my answer is Game three too. But think
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: about this for a second.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: The series ended a Game three.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I understand Vic, and I again I think I agree
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: with you. But last night, no Edwards, no Devincenzo, no
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: dis soon move backs against the wall, season on the line. Again,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: you were favored in all six games in this series,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: all six are That's what you get out of Our
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: asses are backed up against a wall and the t
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Wolves have nobody of notes playing. Three of probably their
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: top five players are out of the lineup, and that's what.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: You get again. You couldn't beat Minnesota when you're up
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: nineteen at home. Think about that for a second. You
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: have nineteen points at home, on your home court, in
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: front of your home fans. You couldn't beat them. You
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: couldn't beat Minnesota when one of their players questioned your manhood,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: called you out. You couldn't beat Minnesota when they lost
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: their starting backcourt in a game. You couldn't beat Minnesota
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: when the lost starting back court in two key reserves.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: It was Taylor made to come out of a three
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: to one hole and win this series and take this series,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: and you couldn't do it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I'm going to point to something specifically. I did it earlier,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: but for those who are listening now, I'll give you
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: what I think was a microcosm of what this series
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: was and what the season was, and it all has
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: to do with competitive fire. Jokic thinks he should get
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: at Tech early in the game. Nas Reed thought he
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: got nand one didn't get it. He yelled in Jokic's face.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: He looked at the ref. The ref said, yeah, play
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: on playoff basketball. Cool. I'm fine with that. Trash talk
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: should be allowed later in the game. This guy I've
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: never heard of, Jalen Clark, who played a grand total
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: of let's see, he averaged thirteen minutes a game this
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: year in sixty eight games. He's in. He gets it's
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: at the top of the three point line, he gets
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: into it, with Yokic a little bit trying to get
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: through a screen. Then he gives Jokic a little push.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Jokic looks at the ref. He says, I didn't see it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: So Jokic says, all right, I'll take this into my
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: own hands. Now he goes up to kind of grab him.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Clark kind of pulls him to the ground. Yokic stumbles
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and then he gets a big shove from Nasried. After that,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the whole Minnesota Timberwolves roster is now surrounding Yoki over
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: at the scorers table, and I don't see a Nuggets
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: jersey inside. I don't see a single one. And this
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: is for the best player on your team, one of
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: the best players in the world. Not a single player
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: is there. And I go back to that, to being
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: called out in Game two, to lou Dort's cheap shot
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: on Jokic, to all these different moments this year where
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: it just showed where the hell is the team connection?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Where's the connectivity between everybody? Because I'll tell you this,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Jalen Clark, who is a role of role players on
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: that Minnesota Timberwolves roster, had the entire unit backing him up.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, where were you bigger than that is. The Minnesota
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Timberwolves in this series forced the Nuggets to play their
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: style of basketball, their brand. The Nuggets could never do
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: the opposite that the Nuggets are what. They're the best
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: offensive team in the game right a generational offense. The
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: offense was putrid.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Vick I go back to that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: The offense was so bad in this series. The biggest
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: drop off of any team in the playoffs was the
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Nuggets offense. So their style they stopped it didn't work whatever.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know why.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Whatever, Jane McDaniels single handedly snuffed it up. Rudy Gobert,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: they stopped the Nuggets from being the Nuggets.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Vick I went back to that Game three. I'm looking
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: at the box score and if you want to really
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: see what a pig mess it was, it was a
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: total pig mess. That Game three. You had nobody really
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: wanted to shoot the ball. I mean, everybody sort of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: took a couple of shots, but it was Jamal and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Joker and they were both putrid from the floor. Jamal
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: was over five from three point range, five to seventeen
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: overall in the game. Jokers seven of twenty six, two ten.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: It was just really really bad. And I don't know
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: why they were missing shots they typically would make. Jamal
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: was driving to the bucket last night. The ball wouldn't
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: go down. The ball simply that the ball simply would
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: not go to he was driving, he was trying, he
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: was shooting, you know, the heel of the rim rolling around,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: dropping out, no bounces. I mean, they they couldn't. They
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: couldn't make anything victim. Typically they typically would make the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: last thing. I'm sorry. The Tipperwolf shot nineteen more shots
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: last night than the Denver Nuggets.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Because they out rebounded him, was fifty to thirty, rebounded
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: by seventeen. You're gonna get more.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Shots, absolutely, and that and that happened big time in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Game three.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: The most disconcerting aspect of this season and the way
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: it ended to me, is normally the Denver Nuggets were
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: able to take the offense that they displayed in the
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: regular season and it translated to the postseason. They were
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: still able to execute, they were still able to do things.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: It fell off a cliff this year. So that tells
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: me they got to find it other way. For Lament's
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: figure it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Out or what for argument's sake, and let's just focus
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: on the offensive stuff and leave everything off to the side,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: even though I think the other things are important. But
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: let's just ignore that for a second. I've noticed this
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: in the era of and I know the super team
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: stuff is kind of done with these new rules, but
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: since the super team era kind of took over, it
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: always took a minute Miami assembled their super team. They
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: did not win that first year, uh Phoenix when they
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: put together KD and all those guys in Bradley Beal
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: that did not work in Brooklyn, did not work. A
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: whole bunch of places did not work initially when you
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: tried to kind of cobble things together. Is it because
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: it was a lot of new stuff in year one.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: It was a new coach, it was a new star
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: arting five, it was new role players off the bench,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: it was new this, it was new that for argument
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: saying I'm not, I'm not.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I don't even believe.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: This, but I'll give you a case in point San
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Antonio is all new young players, new and new and new. Yeah,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: it doesn't work in my book, It's no. No, there's
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: something deeper, there's something underlying there that it's not It's
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: just not there. And to fix it is going to require.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you something. That's where my frustration lies
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: right now is I don't know how you fixed this.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: I don't have an answer. And if anybody had the
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: answer on how to fix this.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Good luck Vick. If I laid it all out in
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: front of me and I had spreadsheet this and spreadsheet
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: one thousand puzzle, that's exactly what it is, I wouldn't
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: be able. And I I hope that watleson Tens are able.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I hope they are. There's got to be
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: contingency plans on the side open this envelope in case
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: of emergency.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: That god.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, every team has that stuff, right except when
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: La made the deal for Peyton Manning and said there's
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: no plan is go forward with the Big eighteen. I mean,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: but there's got to be, Victor's got to be contingency
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: plans on the side. You know. This, This envelope is
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: if we lose in the first round. This envelope is
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: if we lose in the second round and this happens,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and this, you know, if we go all the way
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: this level, I mean, there's got to be it's gotta
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: be there somehow. There's gotta be a way all when
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you brought up poison pill earlier, I was pissed not
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: at you for bringing up poison pill, but the fact
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that a poison pill provision exists with these aprons in
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: these all this different stuff, Man, that prohibits the Denver
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Nuggets from maneuvering in the offseason.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Well, can I can I just address one thing real
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: quick that I've seen a lot of And I don't
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: know how many times will you emphasize this. It's a
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: whole bunch of text and it's been throughout the course
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: of s you owt today, like why aren't you calling
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: out David Adaman and we did vic You said that
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: they get severely out coached in this series and they
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I said, they're gonna have to have a long discussion
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: this offseason about whether he's the right guy for the job. Still,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: like we all of this is a given, Okay, it's
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: a given. The reason why I'm not hyper focused on
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: this when we're talking about players and stuff like that
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: is because the issues that I have with this team
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: in the way that they played. Adalman is in part
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: responsible for this, without a doubt, And I don't know,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: you slice the pie whoever you want to slice it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: But to me, there's a competitive fervor that you need
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: to have that does not come from the coach. It
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: comes from within with it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: It comes from you.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: I said that game three, I said, you know, we
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: had the argument with Texters about you know, the coach
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: needs to whip them into a frenzy. And I said,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: if you need to be whipped into a frenzy when
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: an opposing player calls you out.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Nah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: But but here's what I'm getting at. Chris Finch, I
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: think does a great job of that when he says,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I think stupidly after the game this.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Our guys, they took it personal.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, Denver had the chance to pick who they
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: wanted to play coming down the stretch and they chose us.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, as stupid as I think that quote is for me,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: But okay, that's a coach motivating his guys, and I
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: think that's what coaches should be doing. And it's something
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: that I think Adaman did not do because he did
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: not address that after Jaden McDaniels called them out after
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: game two. He said, we missed shots, which was not
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: the problem, but that's a.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Part of it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: When nas Reed shoves Jokic, in the back because he
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: saw his teammate get pushed. That's not coming from Finch.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: That's a player taking competitive fervor upon himself to do it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: And that's why I'm more focused on the players than
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: the coaches. If you want to talk about Adamman, I
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: think it's a totally fair and reasonable discussion to say, hey,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: after a year, I'm done with this. Okay, fine, but
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: it's about the players to me.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: You know, let me taking a side here. You can
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: have the greatest public speaker in the world try to
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: motivate your team. Tony can enter the fray before every game,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: assemble the team and give the most fiery speeches known
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: to man. It doesn't change three things. The Nuggets look
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: slow and unathletic compared to some of these younger teams.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: They just do.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: It doesn't change that. It doesn't change the injuries and
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: the inability to rely on guys because it doesn't change that.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: And it doesn't change the inner monologue. It doesn't change that.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: You can change the outer but not the inner. So
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: those are things that in this offseason this team will
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: have to wrestle with and make some big decisions. I
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: think the worst case scenario is, guys, you can't run
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: it back.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: You can't well, you can't afford. First of all, you
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: can't afford to run it back because you'll be so
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: far into the tax. It would be it would it
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: would be completely counterproductive in my So, so.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: What do you do? Do you disassemble with a guy
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: like Joker and Anchor? How do you disassemble and put
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: it back together in quickly enough when you don't even
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: two of your draft picks are owned by OKC?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Coming up understood. The last thing I'll say about this
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: is one thing I do know is that the very
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: top powers that be are smart people, and they realize
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to see the window is closed,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: because as long as you have Nikola Jokic's breathing air
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and taking shots, your window is open as far as
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned. But it ain't gonna last forever. And I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: know that they know that. The all Marissa Tomei, my
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: cousin Vinny, the biological.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Clock is.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Exa, I mean vic vic So, I mean whether it's drastic,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm all for drastic. At this point, something has
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to be done.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Like now, Mark, I'm around the nuggets a lot, but
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: I'm not in that room. I'm not privy to personal conversations.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: I'm here to tell you, Nuggets fans, you saw with
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: your own eyes. I don't have to say what I know.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: There's something off in that room. Yeah, there's something in
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: that room that's not it's gone, it's I don't know
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: if it's a player, players, but there's something off in
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: that room that just doesn't click right now, and I'm
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: not sure how to fix it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Three oh three, five oh four, oh nine, two five.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: We're giving away tickets to game one of Round two
• 14:29

• 14:45
  Speaker 3: the building for Game one.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Next Tam Johnson three point attempt on the inbound misses
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: rebound down to Randall, shot clock turned off. Denver's not
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: gonna foul and that'll be it. The Denver Novits will
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: lose game numbers six to the Minnesota Timberwolves and get.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Bounced out of the NBA Playoffs.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: In the very first round final tonight from Minneapolis, Minnesota
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: one ten, Denver ninety eight.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Mos. You want to get your thoughts on game one
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: whenever that is for the Abs and wild here in
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: a second, but just one thing here to start this off,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: and I'll start this where we started the show this morning.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: And it was a feeling that I had that I
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: can't shake. And it's weird to say this out loud,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: but it's honestly how I felt late in that game.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: It's ninety eight to ninety five, Minnesota struggling, the Nuggets
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: are trying to make a comeback, and I was slumped
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: down in my chair like this. I was watching the
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: game like this. I was angry. I felt like my
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: blood pressure was up like I was. I was pissed.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: And all I could think to myself as the Nuggets
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: were down three, attempting to come back to force a
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: game seven, I didn't want them to. I just I'm
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I'm dead serious. I didn't want them to. And all
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I could think to myself was, I don't think there's
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: a point moving forward with this. This is this is over.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: And I didn't want to be pissed off for another
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: two and a half hours for another Nuggets game, because
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: even when, like if they came back and won that game,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I still would have been mad this morning even if
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: they forced a game seven. So sorry, I have to
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: get the final keyword here. Avalanche playoff ticket Friday, your
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: chance to get in for Game one of the second
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: round against the Wild. Text furnace in your first and
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: last name to three zero three five four nine two

• 16:41
  Speaker 3: the Avs from AVSALI, the tickets to everything in between
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Colorado Avalanche dot com slash Playoffs. But this hour's keyword
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: is furnace. But I just felt to myself I didn't
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: want them to come back because I was just like this,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: this isn't going anywhere, and I don't want to be
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: upset again watching a Nuggets game.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: You just prolonging the inevitable.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, It's just it's what we've talked about
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: all year, guys. It's been a laborious season. It's been
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: one of those My goodness, this cement mix I'm shoveling
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: in here. This is gets heavier and heavier by the shovel.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: It's felt like that all year. It's it's been a
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: it's a it's been like a job, right and it's
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: not supposed to feel that way. And it's crazy. I know,
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: the ups and downs, the injuries. Let me ask you
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: guys a question, what game, what stints what? At what
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: point this Nuggets season were you happiest?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: What?
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: What game brought you the most joy? I could think
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: of one game like where you're like, why you're joyous
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: for me? I'll start the victory in Philadelphia.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: That was a good one victory to me.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: That to me, I I look back at that game
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: and I say, wow, man.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Look at these dudes.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Look at these scrappers. And they went on the road,
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: national television, missing the rotation entirely, and they found a
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: way to win and scrap and claw. They played hard.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about. Even in victory and a
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: lot of these victories, it just felt like work. I didn't.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: It didn't always because they started out the season well,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: they started out the season pretty damn good. You know,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: through November they were they were stomping teams in November
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: and into December they won on another six game win streak,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: and you know, you're feeling Okay, something happened though. There
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: got to a point where all of the goodness just
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: sort of Vica just sort of not that I ever
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: really totally believed, but it just sort of came to
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: an abrupt end, and then it was just struggle busts
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the rest of the way. He had no idea what
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you were going to get the rest.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Of the way from the text line Warriors or recent
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: example in history that you could be bad for a
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: couple of years come back with the same core and
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: win a championship.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no no no no.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: The Warriors came back because they added kept Durant to
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: that court.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: No.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I think they're saying after after Durant left they won one.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: It was after are you staring at me like that?
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: I'm trying. I'm trying to recollect my history here. Twenty
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: twenty two is when they won. It was the year
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: that the Nuggets got bounced in the first round to
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: those same Warriors.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was remember it because it was
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: like nobody gave Steph credit because he played for the
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: seventy three win team and then they got the rant.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: It's like, ah, how much does Deph really matter? And
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: then he won one by himself. Oh, by himself, you
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: know what I mean?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Is that?
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's also the last year that the Nuggets were
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: bounced in the first run of a playoff.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Correct, Yeah, yep, to that to that team, correct, I mean,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: and look you yes, it's possible.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: But oh yeah, that's that was the uh, the Andrew
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Wiggins team.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: And okay, yeah, here's another thing about the Nuggets. And
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: this is what's just yeared, man, because it's one thing
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: when you're like Jaden McDaniels is draping all over you
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: and you're trying to make a shot. The Denver Nuggets
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: this season, on wide open threes, we're the best team
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: in the NBA. They shot forty almost forty three percent
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: from the field. That was a full three percentage points
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: higher than anybody else in the league. Giant forty three
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: percent wide open threes. You know what they shot in
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: the playoffs on wide open threes thirty two. You know
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: what the Minnesota Timberwolve shot in the regular season on
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: wide open threes thirty eight and a half percent. You
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: know what they shot against the Nuggets in that series,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: forty five.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: They just played. They played better than you I mean
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: so many things were trying to dissect it. It's it's everything.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: That's how you lose in six games? Is the three
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: to a six, even with their some of their big guns,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: their entire backcourt out. It's everything. It's the lack of
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: response from being called out. It's fowing the lead. It's
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: not shooting as well, it's not defending as well. It's
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: it's me, the coaching, it's the rotation. It's all of it. Man.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to sit down and say
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: this is the reason Aaron Gordon was hurt, that ain't it.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: That's just a piece of the puzzle as to why
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: they lost this series.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Let me let me ask you guys something going back
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: to last night. Uh, there was a quote from Connor
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: McDavid after Edmonton got eliminated. This one is good after
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Edmonton got eliminated from the postseason.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Well that's last night.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm getting at Shark. Connor McDavid
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: had a quote and credit to coach Sanford who does
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: the show after us, because he said something afterwards. Here's
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: the quote. We were an average team all year, and
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: when you're an average team with high expectations, you're going
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: to be disappointed, Sanford said, did mcpickles just speak on
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: behalf of the Nuggets because it's it certainly did feel
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: that way. You never felt like in elite team really
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: at any point this year, and the expectations were that
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: of an elite team.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Again, the climb to prominence is much more fun than
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: the descent, and uh, this has been a descent. And
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know where it goes from here. But you've
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: got a roster that is very expensive. The core players
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: on this roster. I'll go through it again. Nikole Jokich
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: is about to sign a contract, and he will sign it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: He's not stepping away from sixty seven million dollars or
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: whatever it is. He's gonna get north of fifty million
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: a year. Jamal Murray fifty million a year, Aaron Gordon
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: thirty three million a year. It's Christian Brown twenty five
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: million a year. Cam Johnson was he a twenty three
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: million a year? Just add up to starting five? What
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: the hell are they going to do here? That's the question.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know where you go because they're up against
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: it just with the starting five.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look, there's a chance that this game won for
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: the Apps starts on Sunday in moj I do want
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: you to talk about this a bit?
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Does Lee Blerno.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: You would know better than me, um, But tell me, mos,
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: what are the things to be concerned about with Minnesota?
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: What are the things to be encouraged about with this
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: another Minnesota series coming up here?
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: They're feeling themselves right now, the Minnesota Wild. I mean,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: do you want to talk about individual players, you want
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to talk about the team aspect, whatever you want, because
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: they're feeling themselves right now in a big way. I mean,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: they just eliminated Dallas in six games. Yeah, five on five.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: See what Minnesota did is what the Avs love to do.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Control the puck, have possession of the puck. This will
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: be more of a why do things with the puck?
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: A more wide open series than it was with La
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: correct Nellie. Do you have Lee Blair's number? I can
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: find it. Yeah, you can get it. Give them here,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I'll give it to give them a call. I want
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: to give an update on one game. Is so, they
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: possessed the puck very well in this series. They didn't
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: penalty kill very well, but that's one thing Dallas does
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: very well against them. They had very good goaltending this series.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: This young kid, yes, Pervalstet, I mean we saw him
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: in the regular season. I'm like, watch out for this guy.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: He's playing great hockey.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: What was the big point of contention with fan Dallas
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: fans in Wallstett. Was it that he celebrated or something
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: like that. Yeah, correct, and they had all all weirded
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: out with him.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Vic As far as vibes are concerned with Minnesota, they
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: traded for the other Felino, And now you've got Nick
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and Marcus both playing for Minnesota and both are throwing
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: their bodies around. Like did you see some of those
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: hits they lay last night? Yeah, blowing dude, I mean
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: blowing dudes up right, the seventy one Felina and the
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: seventeenth Oh that's seventy one? Is Nick part? Well?
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: I saw that one. He obliterated uh Bischal Bischel and
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: then came back and it looked like he killed Miko,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: But I think Miko just got hitting the knogging a
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Uh Yeah, Well, he kind of scraped his stick across
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: his head, right across his neck, right. No penalty was called.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Randy went to the he went to the bench and
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: then he almost slamed his stick, did you see that?
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Then he took off. And they've got They've got big
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: guys who like to hit. They've got talent. I mean,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: they've got goal scorers on that team. They've got Boldie,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: who Vic likes an awful lot, and he should because
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: the guy's a terrific players.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: An American hero.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: He was awesome in the Olympic Games.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Correct, he was and Boldie are American heroes, and it's
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: gonna be tough to root against them, but I will.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: They've got Caprice.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: They've got Caprice a yeah, whether they're not going to
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: trade for Hellibuck to just get the entire Olympic team
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: on there.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: You got Caprice off who's a special player. They got
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: old man Terrasako, who scored the game tying goal last night.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I mean he in wide open net, but from his
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: knees he scored a wide Yeah. They've They've just got
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: They've got a pretty thick lineup, pretty big now the
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: top to bottom. They are not nearly as deep as
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the aves. And Eric Sinette got hurt last night. He
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: came back, but it's something to keep an eye on
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: their number one center. So I'm going to keep an
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: eye on that for sure, and they don't. I mean,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: they defended very well, but overall their back end is
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: not as good as the Avs. So it's it's gonna be,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I think, a pretty damn good series. The Avs are
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: obviously going to be favored in this series, but both
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: teams also VIC know each other very very well. The
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Aves went two to one and one against Many in
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the regular season.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: A Texter reminds me of this because I remember how
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: how bent I was when I saw it, and you know,
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: talk about series and motivation, how Chris Finch just made
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: up a motivation tactic and.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: It worked, right, Yep.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: If I'm the Avs, I'm wondering if I have this
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: in the locker room. Do you remember when the the
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Avs lost to the Wild and a shootout and that
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: young goalie yesper said somebody asked him what does that
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: win mean? And he said, quote, thank you text for
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: reminding me. By the way he said, quote, it means
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: we're a better team than them. Remember that.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I do remember that. And then what happened in the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: next game.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we know what happened. I mean, it's just different
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: ways to motivate, right, right different ways. At the end
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: of the day, you could say that stuff is childish.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: It doesn't mean anything. But I don't know. I depends
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: on how you're wired. If I read something like that,
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: that see that? Does that bother you? It bothers me.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Got a couple of avs cast offs on that team
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: playing minutes. Who's that yac Off trending one and Nico
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Sturm is the other?
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I remember Nico. Who's there? What's your coach's
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: name again?
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Uh? Why am I drawing a blank?
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: The wild coach? No, No, don't, don't have just want
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: you as long as you can. Everybody, Why am I
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: long pregnant? Pause here, let's see until we get it.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Come on, mush, come on, hockey.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Boy, Lawrence Wilk, Fred Blunder, Alice Stay.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I'm absolutely drawn a blank.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: That's weird, John John Hines.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Jesus God. In fact, last night I watched him. I
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: watched his bald head, you know what, because I thought
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: it was I don't think it was odd. But Hines
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: goes and they're doing bro hugs with the with the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: other coaches, they're doing bro hugs. Yeah, what about it? Well? Nothing,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I just thought John heines in his bald head doing
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: bro hugs. I thought it was a little humorous last night.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: By the way, I will refer to Edmonton's head coach
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: as Chuck Knoblock for the rest of the time.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: It's Chris Noblock.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: It's Chuck.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: It's not Chuck, it's Chris.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: It's Chuck. Chuck is short for Chris.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Glenn Gullidson of Dallas. Did you see his hair in
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: this series? Vic? I thought, I thought, if anything that
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: you would you would admire Glenn Gulletson's hair.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: You know, can I ask a question what you got?
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: By the way, but you know why I drow drew
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: a blank, Vick, because I've been waiting to talk about this.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: It was another former wildhead coach who had a bald head,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Mike Yo.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: What is your fascination here?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Well, it was Mike Yo, and I just kept making
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Mike Yo.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: He always had that look.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: But I was thinking, Brett back to this series where
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the Avs had a two nothing series lead over Minnesota
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: and Matt Cook went out of his way to blow
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: up Tyson Berry's knee. We talked about it with Tyson
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: in studio.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Remember that, Hey, mos all, I'm saying is this. Let
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: me get at the Let me get at the Avs.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Let me have tell tell Bednar, I want I want
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: an audience with the Avalanche.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: So my brain got stuck on Yo, Yes, go ahead.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: I need I need Avalanche to understand something. All right,
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Avs Hockey. Vic's gonna come to play here. It is
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: up to you. It is now you. You may not
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: want it, you may not have wanted this, but is
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: now bestowed upon you. You are in charge of defending
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: this city's honor. After Minnesota stole a piece from us,
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: just stole our hearts, our souls, just yanked it. You
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: have to get it back. You cannot allow too Minnesota
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: teams to pull that off in the same playoff runt
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: can ken how to happen. You have to pull up
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: your breeches, tied up those skates and yank their souls
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: right back. And you can't let them take that.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: That being said, Vic, I don't think you could find
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: a team in the National Hockey League today that is
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: more prepared, more ready, and more willing to do just that.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Well, I was just gonna ask you, guys.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: And there that's a big difference. There is If you
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: want a difference. That's a that's a big difference.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I was just gonna ask you how much carry over
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Minnesota Denver do you think is gonna happen in this series?
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: And I asked that question because of this. There's a
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: bunch of hockey fans motion that do not care at
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: all about basketball, A bunch of them, correct, A bunch
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: of basketball fans don't do not care at all about hockey.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Like we just talked to Kevin Falness. He works for
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: the Wild. He's like, I'm the most casual basketball fan
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: How do you work in sports talk radio? And not?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Well, he does, he doesn't. He's the Burton Oli. He
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: works for the Wild. He does all the pre games, intermissions,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: post game, he does all and he does. He does
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: hockey talk shows, doesn't do hoops talk.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm sure, Like if I asked McGahee what
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: you think of the Nuggets series, I don't think he
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: was kicking anything yesterday after the game.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: No, I'm sure he was not.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Not that he doesn't care at all about the Nuggets,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: but it's like that's not his it's not his thing. Yeah,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: well he does not at all.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. I mean, I I don't think
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: a ton. All I'm saying is because you're wrapped up
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: in your own, you're exactly you're in your own. I mean,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: he probably doesn't care that much about the Rockies either,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: And now he loves the Broncs obviously he works for them.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, all I'm saying is I wonder what the crossover
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: is gonna because there's gonna be some I mean, there's fans. Obviously,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: they're gonna be in both buildings. They are like, screw
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: these teams.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: And one thing I didn't see, one thing I have
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: seen between the Abs and the wild I saw that
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: one woman.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah that was hooking and yeah, hooking and spitting, big bone.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Gal, big bone blonde Minnesota gal hooking and spitting right
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: down here attains a lot of water. Section one. It
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: had to be like section one eighteen. No, no, no, it's
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: six one twelve right down here to my right.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Minnesota, given its rich hockey history, it's a much bigger
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: hockey community than it is a basketball community. Correct.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Correct? You know they're still talked about Vica is. The
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Dallas Stars are the former Minnesota north Stars, and they
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: have north Star numbers retired in their rafters in Dallas,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: and that pisses people off. So they had a lot
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: of stuff going on against Dallas. Are gonna be equally motivated.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: They don't. They know they know what they're facing.

• 34:07
  Speaker 4: The schedule was sent yesterday about Game seven five point
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: thirty at Ballerina, and I was already so excited for
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: a game seven. Who can't be for a game seven?
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: And then I was looking ahead at the schedule. I
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: was looking at San Antonio. That series starts Monday, and
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, I'll probably do that series, go to
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: San Antonio Monday Wednesday. And then I'm looking and now
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: I'm taking all of those things on my schedule and
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: just delete delete. It's just my god. When it happens,
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: it happens fast.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, what did I tell you today? I said
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I have a chance to do what? Uh?
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Play golf?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: And what did I say?
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: You didn't want to?
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I'm right there with Vic. I don't want to either.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: And by the way, last thing on this, we sit
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: here on this Friday, this post mortem Friday, and I'm
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: tired of these, by the way, but I don't want
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets to go away. We've had fun. I mean
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: even before they won the title, and I know Murray
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: tor Pesney in twenty one, but we had fun, We
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: had possibilities, Vic, we had dreams. They were achieved, and
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: we still had dreams even if they got beat up
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Now it feels like, man, you're if
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: you're you're further away than you were six years ago. Man, what.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: Well I sound from the Dallas guy? Give it to me,
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: because that's what I feel like.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: I don't agree with you.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: At all, and now I have nothing.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: I was ready yesterday after after watching three quarters that
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: I was ready. I'm like, I can't do this anymore. Vic,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: I was. I wasn't having fun. I was mad the
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: whole time. The whole time, I was mad, and I
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: didn't want to do that again. I I'm being honest
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: with you. I didn't want to do it again. But
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: I had no fun. I had so little fun watching
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: the Nuggets this year. And it almost makes me angry
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: that I was angry about it, because it's like boom,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: right out of the gates. You have the injuries to
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Christian Brown and AG and then you have the injuries
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: to Joker, and then the injury to Cam Johnson, and
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: then it's the backup unit. And that was fun for
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: a second. But then if you remember, at the end
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: of that month, we were like, all right, enough of this,
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: let's get back to the actual Nuggets basketball. And then
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: the actual Nuggets basketball came back, and then I was like,
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think I like this much either, And then
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: it was this series and I'm just like I was
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: mad the whole time.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Well again, thank God that the Avs are here to
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: carry us, because I need it badly. As for the
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: NBA playoffs, it's just gonna be one hate watch after.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Another for me.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: I don't even know where to go. I hope the
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Spurs sweep Minnesota, but even if they do, what, you know,
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: what do you have to gain from that?
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: What is there? You know? What where do you go?
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, see san Antonio? I mean where do you go?
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: Those are two teams that aren't going anywhere. They're only
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: gonna get better. Hey, did you get a hold only blur?
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: It's not. We still don't know what Game one is.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I think everybody's guessing. I've got a side thread going
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: on over here.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Vic I'm gonna get I'll tell you this much.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: I bet you'll be announced at ten oh one this morning.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna guess it's Sunday.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess Monday.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: You shut your mouth.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I know I think it's I think it's trending to Monday.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: I really, really really need it to be Sunday. I
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: really I need something this weekend. I need I need
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: something different. I need something to look forward to. I
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: need it to be Sunday, please, please.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: Why do you think it would be Monday? Just curious
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: because they want to align with some of the other.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Well, because reich Dog says, I'm calling it Monday. That's
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: game one. You heard it here, right dog on it?
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know Jack?
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: But wait, does he refer to himself as reich Dog?
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: The hell is reich Dog?
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: He just did?
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: Who the hell is Mark?
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Mark Ryecroft refers to himself dog as reich Dog.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Well, he just said right Wall. Sometimes we'll call him
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: right dog to his face. So he's self identifying his
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: right dog today. And then Lee chimed in and doesn't
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: know Jack apparently either. I think you're right so close
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: two are going with it. Then that's that's how I'm
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: gonna leave Blair Dog, Blair Dog, Blair Dogs, Laer Dog.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, only the only reason you had started there is
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: to align yourself with the other the other part of
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: the bracket. Make sure that everybody catches up right. That's
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: the only reason.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: And last night, yeah, because last night you saw what happened.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: The uh, the well, Vegas still has to do. The
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Vegas is still playing. They're up three to two, that's correct.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: But the ducks, the ducks eliminate the ducks eliminated the
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: dang oilers last night, man, I mean those ducks.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: So you just went you just went on Vegas Utah.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: Is that it?
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Yep? Waiting on Vegas Utah. And their game six is
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: two nights are so if you make it Wednesday night,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: then why couldn't they start it on Sunday? They could
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: theoretically they could.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: I just realized. So Riiker refers to himself as reich Dog.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: You have done this on the show. You've said the
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: moje talking about yourself when.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: A lot now you have not that's a lie.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: You you know he's playing golf today the mos Really
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: you don't say me, Well.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not playing today. I had an opportunity to play,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: but I'm not playing. I don't want to play. I'm done.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: In fact, I'm done with the game until postseason's over.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I may be done with the game period.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: See, because you don't want it because you know you'd lose.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: I'm hitting draws now shot seventy eight. The other day,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: you're done for Moses.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: One last thought on the Nuggets as we proceed, because
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: the next couple of weeks are going to be a
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: lot of soul search is going to be going on
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: with the Denver Nuggets and how they move forward. I'm
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: gonna leave you with this. If contracts are moved, which
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: is easier said than done. My favorite part of this
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: job is when people just text and trade this guy,
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: trade that guy, trade, trade trade. If trading were that easy,
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: trust me, it would be more prevalent. And when you're
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: trying to trade big time contracts with a lot of
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: years and a lot of money attached to those contracts,
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of strings you have to pull, all right,
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: it's not that easy. And the Nuggets currently find themselves
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: in the toughest spot of all big time contracts with
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: very little assets. For example, if you want to trade
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: a contract that is big time, big money and you
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: know it's only worth sixty cents on the dollar, What
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: do you have to do to fluff up that trade?
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: What do you need to trade a traft pick? You
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: don't have assets though.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: You have to attach a draft pick.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, you don't have those.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: So what they do they don't have draft picks. They
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: have one first round pick, they can trade one their
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: second rounders. We're all been that's that's the dilemma here,
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: and it's going to be exciting from one perspective over
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: the next two weeks to figure out what approach they take.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: But it's not an easy task.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: So we'll continue this, uh, you know, for a while
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: here as we diagnose what the off off season for
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: the Nuggets should be. But let's get to our winner.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Who's going to Game one Ballerina?
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Brandon Shean Shehan Shean. I don't know she hans Sheen
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Shan Sean San you.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: Make they have more difficult than it looks.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: It's Sheen change.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like I'm saying chin in a Southern accent.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Chan I, how's that Chian?
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: Now Southern folk would say she.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Oh something else. Didn't really close that dude from the wire?
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: Shean she in Uh. Anyway, let's get to our favorite part.

  Speaker 3: Of the Week, Drunk Takes.
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: Orger Lombardy and Kane person Drunk Takes for the record.

  Speaker 3: Drunk Takes, Drunk Takes or Clips.
• 42:29
