Speaker 1: We go.
0:02
Speaker 2: Welcome, it's our number one, our number one, ready to go,
0:09
Speaker 2: and here in our number one.
0:11
Speaker 3: It is all about pro bouncy ball.
0:13
Speaker 2: Another day, another playoff game, Western Conference Finals, game number two,
0:17
Speaker 2: and we react in real time. We came on the
0:19
Speaker 2: air just shortly after Game two ended, Wolves and Thunder.
0:23
Speaker 2: What happened to playoff Julius Randall the salvation of basketball
0:28
Speaker 2: nation this postseason no longer for the Wolves, as he
0:32
Speaker 2: had a clunker in that particular game so bad he
0:35
Speaker 2: got benched at the end of the game.
0:37
Speaker 3: Also, is it fair to criticize.
0:38
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards for not speaking to the media after Game two,
0:43
Speaker 2: considering he's a team leader in the.
0:45
Speaker 3: Face of the franchise.
0:47
Speaker 2: Also, former NBA coach Michael Malone on television says, SGA
0:52
Speaker 2: is almost impossible to guard and is a quote foul artist.
0:56
Speaker 2: Can you decipher what this means? We'll get to all
0:59
Speaker 2: that and more right now here. It is our number one.
1:09
Speaker 4: We want to notice the thunder, the maying lots of noise,
1:12
Speaker 4: there's not what's lightning on the other side. Welcome in
1:18
Speaker 4: the beginning of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show.
1:22
Speaker 4: We are in the air everywhere cheek to cheek as
1:28
Speaker 4: we say hello everybody, as we are hanging out coast
1:32
Speaker 4: to coast, port of the border and beyond on the.
1:35
Speaker 2: Vast and humongously powerful microphones of FSR, am monating live
1:43
Speaker 2: from the Warmer the Benchwarmer like a Minnesota star sitting
1:49
Speaker 2: his tuckas on the bench there as we're hanging out
1:52
Speaker 2: here at the Fox Sports Radio studios, which are approved
1:55
Speaker 2: by Kyrie in OKC. He's big fan of Josie, the
1:58
Speaker 2: only one I know consistently has supported the thunder and
2:01
Speaker 2: Gunner who has been in hiding, and I don't blame
2:04
Speaker 2: him in Minnesota. As he's predicted the Wolves are gonna win.
2:09
Speaker 2: Things are not looking so good for Gunner at this
2:11
Speaker 2: particular point. This portion of the Ben Maler Show made
2:14
Speaker 2: possible in part by our friends at tire Iraq.
2:17
Speaker 3: For over forty years.
2:18
Speaker 2: Ti Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
2:21
Speaker 2: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
2:24
Speaker 2: free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
2:30
Speaker 2: options like mobile tire installation, tire iract dot com. The
2:35
Speaker 2: way the tire buying show, I'd be so our lead.
2:38
Speaker 2: This hour is from the Jules heist or the Julius Heist,
2:44
Speaker 2: or whatever you want to call it.
2:45
Speaker 3: But we'll go to the Sooner State game number two.
2:50
Speaker 2: And if you were optimistic, if you were excited, thinking, wow, yeah,
2:54
Speaker 2: you had a pretty bad Game one in this series,
2:57
Speaker 2: but then you had the Knickerbockers and the Pacers go
3:00
Speaker 2: bonkers in their series. So certainly you're not gonna get
3:04
Speaker 2: two clunkers in a row in the Minnesota OKC series.
3:07
Speaker 2: So after truancy in the series, Opener ant Man and
3:11
Speaker 2: the Wolves flew in for game two with SGA and
3:17
Speaker 2: the Thunder, And I don't know what you got going on,
3:21
Speaker 2: whether you sampled this or not. Maybe you were watching it,
3:24
Speaker 2: or maybe you were staring at a wall. If you
3:26
Speaker 2: were staring at the wall, you likely had as much
3:29
Speaker 2: fun as those watching the game. And as we like
3:31
Speaker 2: to point out our public service announcement, do not worry.
3:34
Speaker 2: We watched so you did not have to in the game.
3:38
Speaker 2: Very similar same blueprint as Game one. It was close
3:42
Speaker 2: at halftime and then they had to play the rest
3:45
Speaker 2: of the game and Shay Gilgess Alexander thirty eight points,
3:50
Speaker 2: twenty four hours after he was named the MVP, picked
3:55
Speaker 2: up the award there in a Gallas ceremony. How upset
3:59
Speaker 2: was Adam Silver he had to fly to Oklahoma to
4:02
Speaker 2: hand him the trophy.
4:02
Speaker 3: He must have been so pissed.
4:03
Speaker 2: Anyway, he got the trophy, and then Oklahoma City went
4:06
Speaker 2: out there in the second half and the term his
4:09
Speaker 2: I'll use the term disemboweled. They disemboweled Minnesota yet again.
4:14
Speaker 2: They win one eighteen to one oh three the final,
4:17
Speaker 2: and so it is two nothing in favor of the
4:21
Speaker 2: team from Oklahoma and they have held Serve at home,
4:26
Speaker 2: and now the series will shift up north. The Gilgess
4:30
Speaker 2: Alexander made twelve of twenty one field goals and thirteen.
4:36
Speaker 3: Or fifteen foul shots.
4:38
Speaker 2: That continues to be a cloud following him around as
4:43
Speaker 2: the critics of Gildas Alexander are having a field there
4:47
Speaker 2: with that. But he did get the trophy there from
4:49
Speaker 2: Adam Silver. He also had eight assists and three steals
4:52
Speaker 2: and a partridge in a pear tree.
4:53
Speaker 3: Jaylen Williams had twenty six.
4:56
Speaker 2: Chet Holmgren, who looks like Skeletor, had twenty two.
4:59
Speaker 3: And so that's where we are.
5:01
Speaker 2: Game three will be Saturday in downtown Minneapolis. Tickets are
5:06
Speaker 2: not available like game sold out. The better story, though,
5:09
Speaker 2: is in that losing locker room. And if you listen
5:13
Speaker 2: to the show on a semi regular basis, there is
5:16
Speaker 2: a method to the madness. There is a formula that
5:20
Speaker 2: we have. You've likely picked up on it unless you're
5:23
Speaker 2: totally obtuse. And the way it works is we look
5:28
Speaker 2: at the team that lost, and then we break it apart,
5:32
Speaker 2: we put it under the microscope, and we analyze it.
5:35
Speaker 2: We like to play this game called the blame game.
5:37
Speaker 2: We like to play the blame game. It's a fun
5:39
Speaker 2: game to play the blame game. And this night rather
5:43
Speaker 2: easy to play the blame game. Now, before we get
5:46
Speaker 2: into that, let's get to the head coach of the
5:50
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timbarolls.
5:55
Speaker 3: First off, here, let's go to cut two.
5:56
Speaker 2: First, here's coach Finch, who was commenting about how his
6:01
Speaker 2: team has had no clue how to stop s g
6:05
Speaker 2: A take a listen.
6:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously, you know, Shay's a handful to contain. You know,
6:09
Speaker 5: he's getting around us to you know, to when there's contact.
6:12
Speaker 5: He's getting around us, and uh, you know we gotta
6:15
Speaker 5: do a better job of square on him.
6:18
Speaker 3: O kiss all about the square you squares you gotta
6:21
Speaker 3: square them up.
6:22
Speaker 2: That's what I always told my my players when I
6:24
Speaker 2: was coaching back and they got square them up.
6:26
Speaker 3: Uh, here's one more from coach Finch. And so it's
6:29
Speaker 3: too nothing.
6:30
Speaker 2: You're down. You got game three in the Wolf's den,
6:33
Speaker 2: and what's gonna happen in that game?
6:35
Speaker 3: Coach?
6:36
Speaker 5: Every minute in the series is a chance to find something,
6:39
Speaker 5: you know. So, uh, we're gonna go back home. This
6:42
Speaker 5: is a you know, good team, good team at home.
6:43
Speaker 5: So we're gonna go home and you know, fight for
6:46
Speaker 5: game three. I mean, heads up and look at the
6:49
Speaker 5: table and get ready for Game three.
6:51
Speaker 2: So they I think they have a better chance. Like
6:54
Speaker 2: if it was a fight, I think that Minnesota has
6:59
Speaker 2: tougher players than Lahoma City. Like I think chet Holmgan
7:02
Speaker 2: could win a fight. I know he's tall, but he
7:05
Speaker 2: one punch.
7:06
Speaker 3: That's it.
7:07
Speaker 2: Now, don't bury the lead, my man.
7:09
Speaker 3: All right.
7:09
Speaker 2: So the story here is Julius Randall, who was not
7:13
Speaker 2: only a basketball player, he was horrible. So let's discuss
7:17
Speaker 2: that part of it, because this is the number two,
7:21
Speaker 2: number two options behind the star, the headliner Anthony Edwards,
7:28
Speaker 2: who also made some headlines for what he did after
7:30
Speaker 2: the game.
7:31
Speaker 3: Let's discuss the question.
7:32
Speaker 2: What happened to playoff Julius Randall for the Wolves. So
7:38
Speaker 2: I've got day spa vacuum, and Quickie Martin, and we
7:43
Speaker 2: will combine all of these things together and we're gonna
7:47
Speaker 2: make some amazing, sticky rice and beef bogogie.
7:51
Speaker 3: That's what we're gonna make, all right.
7:53
Speaker 2: So a Julius Randall, I was just asked in a
7:56
Speaker 2: previous episode of the show, has he changed his reputation now?
7:59
Speaker 3: Has he figured things out?
8:01
Speaker 2: And he was known early in his career as a
8:04
Speaker 2: guy that was a ghost in playoff games. Well, Randall
8:07
Speaker 2: in this game sucked at a time you cannot suck.
8:11
Speaker 2: And forget load management. I know that's all the rage
8:14
Speaker 2: in the NBA. Not load management. This was waste management.
8:18
Speaker 2: What a waste, what a waste, hot garbage. And he
8:23
Speaker 2: was benched in the fourth quarter. Your second player on
8:28
Speaker 2: the team is benched in the fourth quarter. Now, this
8:30
Speaker 2: is a reminder that even when Randal is going well,
8:34
Speaker 2: and he has had some nice performances in the playoffs,
8:37
Speaker 2: So a lot of that was against Fat Luca in
8:39
Speaker 2: the Lakers, So how much credit you get for that?
8:41
Speaker 3: But he still he still has those demons, those demons.
8:47
Speaker 2: From NBA playoff pass in him, and that was a
8:51
Speaker 2: total clunker, and that doesn't do it justice. Six points,
8:56
Speaker 2: four turnovers, five assists, five rebounds, two of eleven floor
9:02
Speaker 2: and got hemorrhoids from sitting on the bench in the
9:06
Speaker 2: fourth quarter.
9:07
Speaker 3: But wait, there's more.
9:08
Speaker 2: So Randall, we're pretty sure that he went to the
9:10
Speaker 2: day spa during the game and he decided, you know,
9:14
Speaker 2: I'm under that cold plunge thing, and he did it
9:17
Speaker 2: during the game at the wrong time. So the game
9:20
Speaker 2: was ultimately lost in the third quarter, but specifically a
9:23
Speaker 2: seven minute, roughly seven minute stretch of the fourth quarter,
9:26
Speaker 2: Minnesota was down by four at seven forty three.
9:30
Speaker 3: On the clock.
9:31
Speaker 2: I went back and I looked in the third quarter.
9:33
Speaker 2: So down by four, anyone's game. Two baskets. Really with
9:37
Speaker 2: the NBA, it's a three point shot and maybe a
9:39
Speaker 2: four point player tied up from that point. Over the
9:42
Speaker 2: next seven minutes and eight seconds, Oklahoma City went after burners.
9:47
Speaker 2: They went turbotastic, and it was thirty to ten plus
9:51
Speaker 2: twenty for Minnesota or plus twenty for Oklahoma City minus
9:54
Speaker 2: twenty for the Timberwolves, and they were down by twenty
9:59
Speaker 2: four points at that point, game, set, and match, and
10:03
Speaker 2: in that meltdown that stretch, Oklahoma City shot eighty two percent,
10:09
Speaker 2: which means the only way the Thunder could miss a
10:12
Speaker 2: shot is if the air conditioning events were pointed at
10:15
Speaker 2: the ball and the ball went flying and the Thunders
10:19
Speaker 2: swarming the wolves like locusts, and Minnesota did not do well.
10:25
Speaker 2: They find themselves now in the bowl, and as long
10:29
Speaker 2: as they win at home they can keep hope alive.
10:32
Speaker 2: But the dust bowl is where they're at right now,
10:35
Speaker 2: and if they don't snap out of it and figure
10:38
Speaker 2: some things out here, they.
10:39
Speaker 3: Will be put into an urn with a capital you.
10:42
Speaker 3: They'll just be some dust now.
10:43
Speaker 2: Outscored by twelve again on points on turnovers, points off turnovers.
10:49
Speaker 3: But the most maddening thing, listen, talk about both sides.
10:52
Speaker 2: We're talking about the losing locker room here. But the
10:56
Speaker 2: Minnesota teams one thing to lose. But they got outworked, right.
11:00
Speaker 2: The Thunder won all the hustle stats in a playoff game. Hey,
11:05
Speaker 2: you're on the road. You got to out hustle the opposition.
11:08
Speaker 2: That's basketball. One oh one didn't do it, did not
11:12
Speaker 2: do it all right, Now, turning the page I mentioned
11:14
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards made some headlines, the ant man, making headlines
11:19
Speaker 2: on and off the court. He declined to speak with
11:22
Speaker 2: reporters after the game, his team losing in non competitive fashion.
11:28
Speaker 2: Again the base of the franchise said, I ain't talking,
11:32
Speaker 2: and he stormed out without had a little.
11:35
Speaker 3: Pity party and took off.
11:37
Speaker 2: He apparently was upset because he was fined fifty thousand
11:40
Speaker 2: dollars for a rather mild F bomb that he tossed
11:47
Speaker 2: out just in casual We know how men talk. We
11:49
Speaker 2: just used the F bomb. I think women do it too.
11:51
Speaker 2: We all use the F bomb, but you can't do
11:53
Speaker 2: it with polite society anyway. Edwards had thirty two points
11:57
Speaker 2: in the game, and the low information fans, oh, I
11:59
Speaker 2: played well at thirty two points. Come on now, well
12:01
Speaker 2: he took twenty six shots.
12:03
Speaker 3: That ain't great.
12:04
Speaker 2: The issue, though, is he skipped out. He's ski daddled
12:09
Speaker 2: at a time you're not supposed to ski daddle. So
12:11
Speaker 2: the question for the esteem panel, which you are a
12:15
Speaker 2: part of, is it fair to criticize Anthony Edwards for
12:20
Speaker 2: not speaking to the media after game two? Considering that
12:25
Speaker 2: he is a team leader and we are told the
12:28
Speaker 2: face of the franchise. So after a thirty second Mallard deliberation,
12:35
Speaker 2: one thousand percent is it fair?
12:38
Speaker 3: It is a breach of the NBA protocol.
12:43
Speaker 2: That's one thing, as a violation of your responsibilities literally
12:47
Speaker 2: in the contract.
12:47
Speaker 3: Like the NBA players signed the contract.
12:49
Speaker 2: They get all the big money, but they have to
12:50
Speaker 2: talk to the media because the NBA is just a
12:53
Speaker 2: TV show and it's based on media stuff.
12:56
Speaker 3: And it also shows you that there's a leadership vacuum there.
13:00
Speaker 2: There's poor accountability and you're the guy, Anthony Edwards. You're
13:05
Speaker 2: the guy, right, I'm not the guy.
13:07
Speaker 3: You're the guy.
13:07
Speaker 2: How can you be the guy if you don't act
13:09
Speaker 2: like the guy? You're the guy. It's supposed to be
13:11
Speaker 2: the future of the NBA. I think we've eliminated that
13:13
Speaker 2: after the Big D coming you you do have the
13:16
Speaker 2: Big D. You told everyone you have the Big D.
13:17
Speaker 2: If you have the Big D, why would you hide
13:19
Speaker 2: when the lights are the brightest. It's easy. When you
13:22
Speaker 2: go out and put up fifty points in a game
13:25
Speaker 2: and our hammer dunking the ball down people's throats, it's easy.
13:29
Speaker 2: You're out there shaking and bacon. Oh yeah, go out there.
13:32
Speaker 2: You want to make up. You got the sound person
13:35
Speaker 2: over there, you have the camera prison. The test is
13:37
Speaker 2: when you're stumbling and bumbling. Take one for the team,
13:40
Speaker 2: right shoulder, the what a burden getting up there and
13:43
Speaker 2: talking in cliches for seven minutes. Oh my god, and
13:47
Speaker 2: for that two hundred and forty million dollars in a
13:49
Speaker 2: winfall contract.
13:50
Speaker 3: It's a real SOB story, It really is.
13:52
Speaker 6: Man.
13:53
Speaker 3: Can't a guy get a break? Can he get a break?
13:56
Speaker 6: Now?
13:56
Speaker 2: There's an issue here. The NBA has not many people
14:01
Speaker 2: are talking about it. Anthony Edwards can go over to
14:04
Speaker 2: the deli counter and take a number.
14:06
Speaker 5: Is.
14:06
Speaker 2: The NBA has an infestation of mister softy players. When
14:13
Speaker 2: things are going well, they're out in front, they're on
14:15
Speaker 2: the camera. When things get bad, they play hide and
14:17
Speaker 2: seek by Mike Count.
14:20
Speaker 3: By Mike Count.
14:21
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards is the.
14:23
Speaker 3: Third number three.
14:25
Speaker 2: He's number three in terms of players that have skipped
14:29
Speaker 2: out on media responsibilities because they lost a tough game.
14:32
Speaker 2: Draymond Green tough guy. Draymond Green will punch his teammate
14:37
Speaker 2: in a face, sucker punch him. He's a tough guy.
14:41
Speaker 2: Couldn't show up.
14:41
Speaker 3: To the media thing, got scared of the media.
14:43
Speaker 2: How about Tyrese Halliburton, the hero of this playoff, the
14:45
Speaker 2: story of this playoffs, the breakout star of the playoffs.
14:48
Speaker 2: Pacers lost a tough.
14:49
Speaker 3: Game in the last round, and he's scared Dada out
14:52
Speaker 3: of there.
14:52
Speaker 2: He couldn't he couldn't man up and talk to the
14:54
Speaker 2: to the reporters.
14:56
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I can't speak in cliches. So he'll
14:58
Speaker 3: get fined again.
15:00
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards and upward and onward and last word here.
15:05
Speaker 2: So I saw this, I wanted to mention it. I
15:06
Speaker 2: don't if you saw it not. Former NBA coach Michael Malone,
15:09
Speaker 2: for the second consecutive night providing content.
15:12
Speaker 3: We thank him for that.
15:14
Speaker 2: He's masquerading as a TV guy, even though he'll just
15:17
Speaker 2: be coaching someone.
15:18
Speaker 3: Else next year.
15:20
Speaker 2: So Michael Malone spoke about guarding Shaye Jugis Alexander right.
15:26
Speaker 2: I talked about how do you defend him and all
15:28
Speaker 2: that stuff. He said, quote, it's almost impossible. A lot
15:32
Speaker 2: of times, offensive players like Shay will initiate the contact
15:36
Speaker 2: or hook their arm looking to draw the contact.
15:39
Speaker 6: He is.
15:41
Speaker 2: Here's the money. Quote from Michael Malone. He said of SGA,
15:44
Speaker 2: he is a foul artist. Powell Artist. So Michael Malone,
15:50
Speaker 2: longtime NBA coach, says that the MVP of the NBA, SGA,
15:55
Speaker 2: is quote almost impossible to guard because of the arm
15:59
Speaker 2: movement that he makes and is a foul artist. Can
16:03
Speaker 2: you decipher what exactly that means?
16:06
Speaker 3: So, yes, I can.
16:07
Speaker 2: I have turned to the Mallor Rosetta stone. I have
16:12
Speaker 2: turned to the mallord Rosetta stone, which is never wrong.
16:15
Speaker 2: So SGA's game, what Malone is saying is SGA's game is.
16:19
Speaker 3: Like a quickie mart.
16:21
Speaker 2: It's stopping got, stopping Ghost, stopping Ghost, stopping ghost. He's
16:25
Speaker 2: bating the defender in and it's not so much that
16:29
Speaker 2: he's beating the defensive player, if you know what I'm saying,
16:33
Speaker 2: But if you're stopping and going and the defender is
16:37
Speaker 2: reacting to that.
16:38
Speaker 3: You're drawing foul.
16:39
Speaker 2: And really all this is, and we point this out
16:41
Speaker 2: in previous episodes of the show, this is the next
16:43
Speaker 2: generation Artisan. He is the next generation Artisan who took
16:48
Speaker 2: the baton. I know James Harden is still playing, not
16:51
Speaker 2: in big games in the playoff season show for those,
16:53
Speaker 2: but he plays in the regular season and in Dwayne Wade,
16:56
Speaker 2: who's not playing anymore.
16:57
Speaker 3: He's out getting tattoos those guys. Right. If foul drawing,
17:00
Speaker 3: here's the other question.
17:01
Speaker 2: If foul drawing is a legitimate part of the game,
17:05
Speaker 2: then why do so many coaches and players and fans everyone.
17:14
Speaker 3: Get very upset and they very angry.
17:17
Speaker 2: Right, they label the players for mastering the art of
17:21
Speaker 2: foul baiting, if you will, So, I look at it
17:26
Speaker 2: like gamesmanship, and I look at it like the tush push.
17:30
Speaker 2: Instead of trying to ban the tush push, you should figure.
17:35
Speaker 3: Out what Philadelphia is doing and run the play like.
17:38
Speaker 3: That's my argument.
17:39
Speaker 2: And instead of being upset with SGA because he's baiting
17:44
Speaker 2: for fouls, you should say, what is he doing? Let's
17:48
Speaker 2: do that. That's really good, that's something we should be doing. Right.
17:53
Speaker 2: He's he's like a surgeon out there on offense using
17:56
Speaker 2: a scalpel to leverage defenders' mistakes and get cheap points.
18:02
Speaker 2: And this is a great example this game right here,
18:04
Speaker 2: where from the foul line he got fifteen foul shots
18:07
Speaker 2: thirteen points where no one's guarding you. You're just standing
18:11
Speaker 2: there and it's it's practice. It's Papa shot, is what
18:15
Speaker 2: it is. Well, this is the Ben Mahlor show. So

21:58
Speaker 2: of these in different cities over the years. I've been
22:00
Speaker 2: very fortunate you know, usually just when I travel somewhere anyway,

22:15
Speaker 3: And you know, some some are last minute, some not so.
22:19
Speaker 2: Good, but it's original. One We started out with just
22:22
Speaker 2: a couple like Chip and the Cues. There was a
22:25
Speaker 2: gentleman I don't think he wants me to say his name,
22:27
Speaker 2: a professor at Syracuse who was a listener to the show.
22:29
Speaker 2: We met him. Pete and Pittsburgh the dough Boy, Breadman
22:34

22:35
Speaker 3: I did that. That was Those were like the first
22:36
Speaker 3: two that we did.
22:38
Speaker 9: I already started packing today. We might need a head count.
22:45
Speaker 2: I don't.
22:45
Speaker 3: I don't.
22:46
Speaker 2: I don't want to even estimate because the people say
22:49
Speaker 2: they're gonna be there Coop, and they don't.
22:50
Speaker 3: They're not gonna they're not gonna show off. So how
22:54
Speaker 3: what why is that? What do we need a ballpark
22:56
Speaker 3: food that we for the food? Yeah?
23:01
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know, because I again I was
23:05
Speaker 2: confident these people.
23:06
Speaker 1: People say oh yeah, yeah, I'm sure a lot of
23:08
Speaker 1: people have told how many people like I have said,
23:11
Speaker 1: oh I'm coming to you.
23:13
Speaker 2: Well, it's a lot of I plan on being there

Speaker 2: if if I might, you know, I can.
23:17
Speaker 3: Get a babysitter. That kind of thing, you know, is thatch.
23:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that that I always count that as a
23:25
Speaker 2: nocuse that you know, if you have, if you haven't out,
23:29
Speaker 2: you're gonna take the out.
23:30
Speaker 3: That's always the way I look at it. You know,
23:31
Speaker 3: I hope some people.
23:32
Speaker 9: Want it out from their children.
23:33
Speaker 2: Ben, Well, why would you want out from your children?
23:36
Speaker 2: You're spawn.
23:40
Speaker 3: Anyway, it's gonna be fun. We're looking forward to that.
23:42
Speaker 2: And we had the basketball tonight, which was again another
23:45
Speaker 2: another dud of a game. And I guess that's just
23:48
Speaker 2: the way it's gonna go in Minnesota. You know, it's
23:51
Speaker 2: only two games and they haven't lost in the Once
23:54
Speaker 2: they lose at home, then we can officially start the
23:56
Speaker 2: eulogy for the Timberwolves. And not yet, not yet, it
24:00
Speaker 2: doesn't look good. Just appears to be a bad match up.
24:03

24:35
Speaker 3: few hours ago.
24:36
Speaker 2: A guy won the MVP, former Clipper and a part
24:39
Speaker 2: of the farm system for the Clippers, the great SGA Clipper.
24:44
Speaker 2: So you see Clipper win a championship this year with OKC.
24:49
Speaker 2: If they get it done, they're a couple of wins
24:50
Speaker 2: away from the finals. G Manage in Chicago, Right Since
24:55
Speaker 2: says a plus plus on the Mall monologue. These athletes,
24:58
Speaker 2: especially in the NBA, are soft because of how they
25:02
Speaker 2: were brought up. I don't know who's more soft. Your
25:05
Speaker 2: NBA players are golfers. Oh, we definitely golfers. Golfers are
25:09
Speaker 2: like beyond soft, Like that's you know, soft to infinity
25:13
Speaker 2: and beyond soft to infinity and beyond.
25:17
Speaker 3: The burner account, not just any burner account.
25:19
Speaker 2: The number one says, Man, this NBA final is gonna
25:25
Speaker 2: blow chunks if it's Indiana. And Okay, see geez Randall
25:29
Speaker 2: had an Angel Reese performance. I knew it wouldn't be
25:32
Speaker 2: long until he shows his true colors. Writing the Vomit Comet,
25:37
Speaker 2: there you go, Troy writes and says the timberl is
25:39
Speaker 2: more mentally weak in big playoff games than even the
25:42
Speaker 2: pitiful Lakers. Uh well, yeah, I don't know about that.
25:45
Speaker 2: I mean, the Minnesota did beat as bad as Minnesota looks.
25:48
Speaker 2: I mean, they did dominate the Lakers. And how much
25:52
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this.
25:53
Speaker 3: When I was when I was coming to the studio,
25:54
Speaker 3: I was like, I.
25:55
Speaker 2: Cannot believe that Rudy Gobert look like nineteen ninety seven
26:03
Speaker 2: or ninety five Keim Elijahwan or mid nineties Shaquille O'Neal
26:09
Speaker 2: against the Lakers.
26:10
Speaker 9: They didn't play a center.
26:12
Speaker 2: I mean, it's unbelievable. He is so horrific and he dominated.
26:19
Speaker 2: That's what happens when kids, when you hire a podcaster
26:22
Speaker 2: as your coach, that's what happens. Okay, you will allow
26:25
Speaker 2: Rudy go bear when you hire a podcaster as your coach.
26:30
Speaker 3: You allow Rudy Gobert to.
26:31
Speaker 2: Become a cross between Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O'Neal and Elijahon
26:37
Speaker 2: my God. And against Oklahoma City, a team that has
26:39
Speaker 2: a real coach, Rudy Gobert, let's see five.
26:43
Speaker 3: Points, five points and what do you have?
26:46
Speaker 2: Nine rebounds and a couple of fouls, and that's it useless,
26:52
Speaker 2: completely useless. That's playoff Rudy Gobert. How do you get
26:56
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert to not be useless? Put JJ pod cast
27:00
Speaker 2: Reddick as the coach, and all of a sudden, this
27:04
Speaker 2: guy is Mozart on the court.
27:06
Speaker 3: He's Mozart. You put a podcast guy out there.
27:09
Speaker 1: He didn't make the he didn't make the trade, and
27:11
Speaker 1: then and then the Mark Williams trade didn't go through,
27:14
Speaker 1: and then they're left with Jackson Hayes.
27:18
Speaker 2: What you're listening to right now is a man making excuses.
27:21
Speaker 2: His name is Justin Cooper. He's on the public relations
27:25
Speaker 2: staff for the LA Lakers, breaking it down, breaking downe.
27:31
Speaker 3: Hating.
27:33
Speaker 1: That's that's like half of your your stick is hate
27:36
Speaker 1: for the Lakers.
27:39
Speaker 2: No, it's not the I call like is you call
27:41
Speaker 2: it hate because nobody else. You're surrounded, you're insulated, you live.
27:45
Speaker 2: You're the boy in the bubble. Cooper is the boy
27:48
Speaker 2: in the bubble. He's insulated, is what he is. Okay,
27:51
Speaker 2: he's insulated from reality. He surrounded all these Laker toe
27:54
Speaker 2: lickuers and boot lickuors and they give him the bubble back,
27:58
Speaker 2: the many and the petty. That's what they do, and
28:01
Speaker 2: he's That's what he's used to. That is what he
28:03
Speaker 2: is used to. That is what he expects. And so
28:06
Speaker 2: when anyone gives the real facts about the Lakers.
28:11
Speaker 1: The real facts is that they traded away Anthony Davis
28:14
Speaker 1: and they didn't get a center to replace him. They
28:18
Speaker 1: had Jackson Hayes and Alex lenn that's their frontcore game.
28:25
Speaker 3: Okay, you're embarrassing yourself. I hope, I hope you What
28:28
Speaker 3: did I say?
28:28
Speaker 9: That was wrong?
28:29
Speaker 3: You're You're absolutely embarrassing yourself.
28:32
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert sucks. You just put a body in front
28:35
Speaker 2: correct me. Put you put a body in front of
28:39
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert and he will just melt.
28:43
Speaker 3: That's what he does. He melts.
28:45
Speaker 2: That's what he's known for his entire playoff career against
28:49
Speaker 2: the Lakers.
28:50
Speaker 3: I remember that game was a game two. I forget
28:54
Speaker 3: which game it will. I have to go back and look.
28:55
Speaker 3: But Rudy Gobert dominate. You lost the room. What do
29:00
Speaker 3: you go there? You've lost?
29:01
Speaker 2: You lost the playoff, Rudy Gobert, and you're not.
29:05
Speaker 3: You don't seem too upset about that. I'd be upset.
29:07
Speaker 2: Podcast Coach, Podcast coach, That's what happened, Casey carr ha
29:10
Speaker 2: Holler writes and said, the only person who can find

30:49
Speaker 3: I'll give him an a for honesty. Stand around? What
30:53

31:02
Speaker 2: see a lot of people. It's like they're they're all
31:03
Speaker 2: wearing the same color shirt. You know, you go to LA,
31:06
Speaker 2: New York, San Francisco and hardly anyone wears those those
31:11
Speaker 2: shirts they give out.
31:13
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City, everyone is wearing the same shirt. It's wild.
31:18
Speaker 9: I love that. I hate that about Los Angeles that.
31:22
Speaker 2: People are too good in LA to not wear the
31:24
Speaker 2: free shirt that they hand out.
31:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they don't want to cover up their two
31:27
Speaker 1: hundred dollars whatever shirt with their free Lakers T shirt,
31:31
Speaker 1: which is dumb.
31:33
Speaker 2: And they's just like back when I used to go

31:38
Speaker 2: really wealthy bro they just they didn't care about the shirt.
31:40
Speaker 2: They just throw they'd leave them in the arena or

Speaker 2: they'd throw them when they got outside. They give them
31:44
Speaker 2: the people.
31:44
Speaker 1: I can't. I keep the thundersticks. I still have thundersticks

32:42
Speaker 2: lose their minds so that one. I don't I remember
32:45
Speaker 2: the guy's name of the guy ESPN like, that's pretty
32:47

37:31
Speaker 2: They get the the No.

38:24
Speaker 3: You said that they didn't.
38:25
Speaker 1: They didn't give away anything, but they gave away an
38:28
