Speaker 1: great weekend, some fabulous weather there on Saturday and Sunday.

0:24
Speaker 1: a little bit later on in the show. It's Chuck Powell,
0:26
Speaker 1: it's Ashley Ryan with you here on this Monday morning.
0:30
Speaker 1: Great to have you with us. Did you spend any

Speaker 1: you made it out there.
0:37
Speaker 2: Glad to hear it.
0:38
Speaker 1: Good for you. If you didn't, shame you're terrible. Yeah,
0:43
Speaker 1: well dial up the heat swing into the action. Baseball
0:47
Speaker 1: all season long at Talala Resort Casino. DraftKings Sportsbook also
0:51
Speaker 1: watched the NBA Western and Eastern Conference Finals out there.
0:55
Speaker 1: One of the largest sports books in the state. It's
0:58
Speaker 1: such a great place to watch games. It's fantastic, giant
1:01
Speaker 1: wall of videos so you can watch all the big
1:03
Speaker 1: games at the same time. To lalap Resort Casino, where
1:07
Speaker 1: all you want is everything details online at everything to
1:10
Speaker 1: Lalip dot com. Hell, just call up Spencer, probably pick
1:13
Speaker 1: you up. Two of you can head on over to
1:16
Speaker 1: Tulala for Spencer. Yeah, strangers sitting there waiting for strangers
1:22
Speaker 1: to call them for a ride to to Lalap. That's
1:25
Speaker 1: that's Spencer's life these days. How are you, man?
1:29
Speaker 3: I'm doing well, getting ready for a big start to
1:32
Speaker 3: the conference finals tonight.
1:34
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun, pretty good matchups here. Yeah, I
1:38
Speaker 1: can't wait to break them down. I do want to
1:39
Speaker 1: mention though, we did our Green Jacket draft and I
1:44
Speaker 1: want to update you. You are in second place right now.
1:47
Speaker 1: You're one hundred and thirty eight points behind me. But
1:51
Speaker 1: with Donovan Mitchell advancing yesterday, you still have all four
1:55
Speaker 1: of your players left, so I'm scared.
1:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, one of my guys hasn't played it.
2:01
Speaker 1: I know, and Wenby even missed a couple of games.
2:05
Speaker 4: Yeah.
2:06
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I think I'm sitting pretty well. Mister Williams
2:12
Speaker 3: can get back out there.
2:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, leam, Yeah, it helps to have all four guys
2:17
Speaker 1: left on your team. So anyway, I wanted to update
2:20
Speaker 1: you on all of that. All right, Well, let's get
2:22
Speaker 1: into it. So tonight it starts with the Western Conference Finals,
2:26
Speaker 1: and I think that's the real headline here. I think
2:30
Speaker 1: we've been anticipating this matchup for quite some time. All
2:33
Speaker 1: of Seattle obviously Spurs fans. What's the road to victory
2:37
Speaker 1: for the San Antonio Spurs over the Oklahoma City thunder.
2:42
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's obviously there's important details on both ends.
2:47
Speaker 3: I think offensively, they got to continue making shots, which
2:52
Speaker 3: allows two things. It allows Wendy to have the space
2:56
Speaker 3: to be able to operate, and then it allows those
3:00
Speaker 3: who have been so efficient getting downhill and putting pressure
3:03
Speaker 3: at the rim to be able to continue to do that.
3:06
Speaker 3: I mean Oklahoma Okay. See, you know their defense is
3:10
Speaker 3: well documented, both strategically and in what the personnel they have,
3:15
Speaker 3: and they don't let teams beat them off the dribble.
3:18
Speaker 3: So I think that's going to be something interesting to
3:21
Speaker 3: see tonight. And then on the other end, what do
3:24
Speaker 3: you do with Shay? How do you cut off the
3:26
Speaker 3: head of the snake? If you are with Spurs and
3:30
Speaker 3: you know this.
3:31
Speaker 4: A J.
3:31
Speaker 3: Mitchell, guy who's seen would come out of nowhere, It
3:35
Speaker 3: could be the MVP of the playoffs so far, and
3:37
Speaker 3: so coming up with a way.
3:40
Speaker 4: To keep him out of the pain.
3:41
Speaker 3: And then all the shooters that Oklahoma City sprinkles out
3:44
Speaker 3: there to keep you honest.
3:45
Speaker 1: Man, they're just so deep. I mean, they're they're gonna
3:48
Speaker 1: get to the offseason. They have two first round picks, Spencer,
3:51
Speaker 1: and they don't even have two spots on their roster
3:54
Speaker 1: available to them because they have so much depth. I mean,
3:59
Speaker 1: as much as they are hated here in Seattle, just
4:02
Speaker 1: from a pure basketball standpoint, I mean, it is something
4:05
Speaker 1: that's going to be studied for years to come. How
4:07
Speaker 1: well that they've been built, both their starting five, their depth,
4:12
Speaker 1: their youth, their financial situation, their draft pick portfolio that
4:18
Speaker 1: they still have moving forward. It's really been an interesting
4:21
Speaker 1: study on how to build a modern day roster in
4:24
Speaker 1: the NBA.
4:26
Speaker 3: It is, and you've got to give a ton of
4:29
Speaker 3: credit to Sam Presty and his staff in the front
4:34
Speaker 3: office that he's put together. I think everyone talks about
4:37
Speaker 3: with the Sonics leaving. We don't need to harp on
4:39
Speaker 3: it too much, but you know what we missed with
4:42
Speaker 3: Katie and Russ and Harden potentially and never really hear that, Oh,
4:47
Speaker 3: you would have got them one of those guys for
4:49
Speaker 3: awn eight, ten, maybe twelve years if you're lucky, but
4:53
Speaker 3: the loss of Sam Presty for a generation, we're at
4:57
Speaker 3: that franchise is position now compared to when they in
5:00
Speaker 3: Seattle is Yeah, that one stings and that will continue
5:04
Speaker 3: to sting. But they I mean, they got lottery picks
5:08
Speaker 3: that if they can't even find minutes for in the
5:10
Speaker 3: playoffs right now. And I think the way they play,
5:15
Speaker 3: the unselfishness they play with on the offensive end, I
5:18
Speaker 3: get a little sick of the and then interviews afterwards,
5:22
Speaker 3: But clearly they're connected and all those things impact winning
5:27
Speaker 3: in the position that they're in.
5:29
Speaker 1: Is San Antonio built even better for the future considering
5:33
Speaker 1: the one piece that they have that even now Oklahoma
5:37
Speaker 1: City doesn't have an answer for.
5:39
Speaker 3: It seems I'm biased, but I would argue that if
5:45
Speaker 3: you have when you got one, well let's let's break
5:48
Speaker 3: it down.
5:49
Speaker 4: You have the two time defending.
5:50
Speaker 3: MVP on one side, and then you've got probably the
5:53
Speaker 3: greatest prospect that's ever been born to play this sport
5:57
Speaker 3: on the other, kind of coming into his own on
6:00
Speaker 3: an accelerated timeline. So I think it'd be an interesting poll.
6:04
Speaker 3: I would think if you went around and asked most
6:06
Speaker 3: the general managers, they probably probably kicked the scales to
6:10
Speaker 3: the Spurs being the obviously the wenbypiece, but then their
6:15
Speaker 3: core you look at their somehow even younger than the Thunders.
6:19
Speaker 3: So this is going to be a fun rivalry for
6:22
Speaker 3: a lot of years to come.
6:23
Speaker 4: But I bet you there's.
6:25
Speaker 3: People in that in that Thunder locker room front office
6:28
Speaker 3: that are a little bit nervous going in knowing you know,
6:32
Speaker 3: you might.
6:32
Speaker 4: Not have an answer for this.
6:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, well the Spurs, I mean they Oklahoma City could
6:37
Speaker 1: not come up with an answer for the Spurs during
6:39
Speaker 1: the regular season. But then there's that time honored question
6:44
Speaker 1: about whether you have to fail before you can succeed
6:49
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So Oklahoma City's already proven we can
6:53
Speaker 1: win a championship Wimby and the Spurs have not proven
6:57
Speaker 1: they can go deep. This is the deepest they've ever been.
7:00
Speaker 1: So where do you weigh in on that particular question
7:03
Speaker 1: about the team that is proven versus the team that
7:07
Speaker 1: may need to get slapped down in the conference finals
7:11
Speaker 1: to learn that last lesson before they can become champions.
7:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the experience.
7:18
Speaker 3: Experience matters, there's no doubt about that. But I think
7:22
Speaker 3: you look at last year versus the Timberwolves, which is
7:26
Speaker 3: a better team than the Spurs.
7:28
Speaker 4: Treated him.
7:30
Speaker 3: I think Aunt was more hurt than he probably might
7:34
Speaker 3: honor people realize, and they made it look easier than
7:37
Speaker 3: it was. But that game that that Wemby was ejected
7:41
Speaker 3: for the elbow, I think that that allowed the Spurs
7:46
Speaker 3: to really take some steps forward and grow, not only
7:50
Speaker 3: compensating for him not being out there, which they've done
7:52
Speaker 3: before and they've done for for stretches, but doing it
7:55
Speaker 3: in the kind of high leverage, high pressure environment of
8:00
Speaker 3: playoff basketball. And I think that, uh, you know, you
8:04
Speaker 3: learn how to navigate that, and then obviously it comes
8:06
Speaker 3: back in and the rest of the guys have a
8:08
Speaker 3: different level of confidence for the next game, and and
8:12
Speaker 3: you go forward and you end up with a four
8:14
Speaker 3: to two years old So the experience is big, but
8:19
Speaker 3: there's also something to be said for they're just too
8:23
Speaker 3: young and don't care and don't know what they don't know,
8:26
Speaker 3: and that pressure aspect that the experience brings. That's all
8:31
Speaker 3: on the thunder. I think the Spurs at this point
8:35
Speaker 3: are playing with a bit of house money and that
8:37
Speaker 3: can be a dangerous, dangerous.
8:39
Speaker 4: Air to have.
8:40
Speaker 1: And the quiver, all right, who's going to win.
8:44
Speaker 4: Spurs? Spurs? And six and six?
8:47
Speaker 1: That Spencer Oz is with us, of course, former you
8:51
Speaker 1: a big man, a legendary Seattle basketball player, ten year
8:56
Speaker 1: NBA veteran, and has become our NBA insider throughout our analyst,
9:01
Speaker 1: I should say, throughout the postseason for the last couple
9:04
Speaker 1: of years. And he's joining us here this morning now
9:07
Speaker 1: that the conference finals are set. Before I get to
9:09
Speaker 1: the East, SGA m VP. Should he have won it?
9:15
Speaker 4: Yes?
9:16
Speaker 3: Okay, And I'm I've historically been a Joker Joker advocate.
9:24
Speaker 3: I think Wendy is not quite there, but I think
9:29
Speaker 3: I was just looking over the results a few minutes ago.
9:33
Speaker 3: Third I think it is about where it should be
9:36
Speaker 3: for this year. I just think SGA's consistency and really
9:42
Speaker 3: what he did down the stretch compared to the Joker.
9:45
Speaker 3: And it's hard to say the Joker fell off, but
9:48
Speaker 3: his stats did definitely moderate a lot, kind of after
9:52
Speaker 3: the All Star break down the stretch of.
9:54
Speaker 4: The regular season. And I know it's a regular.
9:57
Speaker 3: Season award, but it's hard not to let the results
10:01
Speaker 3: of the first couple rounds of the playoffs seep into
10:05
Speaker 3: your opinion. And obviously that's been going Shade's way a
10:08
Speaker 3: lot more than the Jokers.
10:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know though, a center that led
10:12
Speaker 1: leads the league and rebounds and assists. I don't think
10:15
Speaker 1: I've ever saw, ever dreamed that I would see that.
10:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know last year it's yeah, he was a
10:23
Speaker 3: triple Doublin doesn't win. Yeah, what are we And it's
10:27
Speaker 3: like that am J Lebron is it? The best player
10:30
Speaker 3: is at the best season. It's like we got to
10:32
Speaker 3: decide what the what are what?
10:35
Speaker 4: We got to.
10:36
Speaker 3: Define the award in order to really bring clarity to it.
10:40
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, Spencer also with us. All right, let's
10:43
Speaker 1: talk about the East. Let's talk about last night. First,
10:46
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers get it done. I mean, what on
10:49
Speaker 1: earth went wrong for the Detroit Pistons that they got
10:52
Speaker 1: blown out at home in a Game seven.
10:56
Speaker 4: Well, credit to the Cavaliers.
10:58
Speaker 3: They completely flip the script on that series and all
11:03
Speaker 3: of a sudden, they they were the hit first team,
11:05
Speaker 3: they were the more physical team. It was the first
11:08
Speaker 3: game in the series that it looked like they realized, hey,
11:12
Speaker 3: we have two really talented seven footers. Let's try and
11:16
Speaker 3: get them going early and take advantage of that mismatch,
11:20
Speaker 3: and then you know, momentum guys are making shots. I
11:26
Speaker 3: love I love the Pistons court, I love their young players.
11:29
Speaker 3: But when you have a guy in Thompson that they're
11:31
Speaker 3: not even closing out on when he catches the ball
11:34
Speaker 3: at the three point line, that's that's hard to win
11:36
Speaker 3: in the regular season, and that is, you know, near
11:39
Speaker 3: impossible in the postseason with the familiarity and the game plans,
11:44
Speaker 3: uh get any to have any type of efficiency in
11:48
Speaker 3: the half court. And it showed, and it looked like
11:50
Speaker 3: ag for all he's done in the run he's had,
11:53
Speaker 3: it looked like he was.
11:54
Speaker 4: Out of gas trying to carry that carry that entire roster.
11:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just so crazy how you're deficiencies can be
12:01
Speaker 1: exposed in the NBA playoffs and Detroit just doesn't have
12:04
Speaker 1: enough offense. How about this for a trade, Thompson for
12:07
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves. That's my trade proposal. Gives the Lakers somebody
12:12
Speaker 1: that can actually defend and gives the Pistons somebody that
12:16
Speaker 1: can score other than Kate. What do you think of
12:18
Speaker 1: that trade?
12:20
Speaker 3: Well, they're gonna have to sign Ultimer free agents, so
12:23
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to sign Boltiman for a bunch of
12:25
Speaker 3: bunch of money.
12:26
Speaker 4: I don't.
12:28
Speaker 3: You're kind of you're definitely betting on the upside on
12:30
Speaker 3: that one. But I don't know Austin. Austin shown me
12:34
Speaker 3: in the last couple of years that it might take
12:37
Speaker 3: a little more than that. They could always just sign him.
12:40
Speaker 3: I don't know what their cap situation is. They could
12:43
Speaker 3: always just pay him more. But I don't think he's
12:46
Speaker 3: going to be leaving in LA. If the Lakers have
12:48
Speaker 3: anything to say about it.
12:49
Speaker 1: Well, that's just it. I mean, then they can just
12:51
Speaker 1: continue to play horrible defense for the next ten years
12:54
Speaker 1: and never win anything. Yeah, I know he can score,
12:58
Speaker 1: but and then Detroit seems to need the offense. So
13:01
Speaker 1: I don't know, just throwing that out there. Spencer Haws
13:03
Speaker 1: is with us here this morning on Check It Back
13:05
Speaker 1: in the mornings. All right, let's talk about then the
13:08
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals they'll start on Tuesday. New York's looked like,
13:13
Speaker 1: you know, just a world beater so far in these playoffs,
13:17
Speaker 1: or at least once they got over the hump in
13:19
Speaker 1: round number one, and Cleveland's coming in having just built
13:24
Speaker 1: some momentum with a seven game series. So break down
13:28
Speaker 1: this matchup forrest Cleveland versus New York.
13:32
Speaker 3: I actually like this matchup a lot more, I think
13:35
Speaker 3: than maybe the narrative of the discourse and given it
13:39
Speaker 3: credit for it, and I think everything's relative. The one
13:42
Speaker 3: in the West is on paper right now going to
13:45
Speaker 3: be one of the better playoffs series in a while.
13:47
Speaker 3: But I've been waiting for this Cleveland team to put
13:50
Speaker 3: it together since well before the James Harden acquisition. Once
13:55
Speaker 3: once they got Donna in there, it's like, all right,
13:57
Speaker 3: what on paper? You're looking at it, like what they
14:00
Speaker 3: miss it?
14:00
Speaker 4: What do they need?
14:01
Speaker 3: And it appears at this point like it took they
14:05
Speaker 3: needed a seven round you know, conference semi final series
14:08
Speaker 3: to kind of get get everything clicking.
14:11
Speaker 4: But you said it.
14:12
Speaker 3: The Knicks have a juggernaut they've figured out, and they
14:18
Speaker 3: unlocked Karl Anthony Towns and using him as points center,
14:23
Speaker 3: and that's opening up, you know, offense for everybody else. Uh,
14:28
Speaker 3: they haven't had og. He hasn't been helping. Now he's
14:30
Speaker 3: got some time to rest coming back to the conference finals.
14:34
Speaker 3: And then jamb Brunton's looking like a new age Allen
14:37
Speaker 3: Iverson with an efficient three point shot.
14:40
Speaker 4: He's the head of the snake.
14:42
Speaker 3: He does it all and uh, he's making things really
14:45
Speaker 3: easy for the rest of the guys on that roster.
14:47
Speaker 1: All right, So what's it going to come down to?
14:49
Speaker 1: What's the matchup that each team has to expose in
14:53
Speaker 1: order to win.
14:56
Speaker 3: I think it comes down at home court advantage, which is, uh, well,
14:59
Speaker 3: I think or why I am picking kNN to pick
15:02
Speaker 3: the Knicks, But you know, Cleveland is a team that's
15:05
Speaker 3: built on shot making, built on three point shooting, and
15:10
Speaker 3: a game like last night, you get Meryll coming off
15:12
Speaker 3: with them, shoot hits five of them and things look
15:14
Speaker 3: really easy for him. And then you see him at
15:16
Speaker 3: other times when when they're not going in and it
15:18
Speaker 3: looks like it's difficult basketball to watch. So I think
15:24
Speaker 3: they're you know, they got a size advantage, and I'd
15:29
Speaker 3: like to see them kind of trying to recreate the
15:31
Speaker 3: game plan last night of.
15:33
Speaker 4: Really getting Mobile involved early and taking.
15:35
Speaker 3: Advantage of him and opening things up for the three
15:38
Speaker 3: point shooters rather than than just.
15:40
Speaker 4: Coming out and hucking them from the get go. And
15:42
Speaker 4: then New York.
15:43
Speaker 3: I think just has to I think they just got
15:46
Speaker 3: to stay consistent. I mean, they they got their packing
15:49
Speaker 3: order established, they got all their guys rolling, they will
15:53
Speaker 3: figure out a way to reintegrate og back in the
15:57
Speaker 3: lineup who's hopefully helping and put that behind them. I
16:02
Speaker 3: just I think that I think it comes down to
16:03
Speaker 3: the home court and the advantage that New York's going
16:06
Speaker 3: to have at the Garden.
16:07
Speaker 1: Well, I know it'll be at the Garden. It's going
16:10
Speaker 1: to be on ESPN. My only hope is, man, I
16:13
Speaker 1: just we haven't seen enough of Timothy Shalome and Kylie
16:16
Speaker 1: Jenner to this point, so I hope ESPN really goes
16:19
Speaker 1: out of its way to show them to us more
16:22
Speaker 1: than what they have so far in the playoffs. Your thoughts,
16:26
Speaker 1: I think you'll.
16:26
Speaker 3: Be up there. Funny of that Ben Stiller too, Moregan.
16:33
Speaker 1: I mean, does it have to be like after every
16:37
Speaker 1: play that, every time there's a stoppage that we got
16:40
Speaker 1: to see the entire row of New York Knick fans
16:43
Speaker 1: that are celebrities, I mean every single time.
16:46
Speaker 3: Really, it would be a lot more interesting. Is just
16:50
Speaker 3: Mike up your your fans that are sitting in row
16:53
Speaker 3: like twenty and behind, and it might have to be
16:55
Speaker 3: a prime deal.
16:56
Speaker 4: I don't know. If Network it could get away with it,
16:59
Speaker 4: that'd be a lot more in it.
17:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. I would love to see them
17:04
Speaker 1: just attempt to not show any of them this for
17:08
Speaker 1: one game. I'd like to see what the broadcast is
17:11
Speaker 1: and like you even have to block out their faces
17:15
Speaker 1: if you show them, they have to be behind a blur.
17:18
Speaker 4: They must ratings, they must all right.
17:22
Speaker 1: Well enjoy it, man, thank you very much for joining us.
17:25
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. I think we got two great conference
17:27
Speaker 1: finals and the entertainment starts tonight.
17:32
Speaker 3: Well thanks for having me. As always go, Mitch Show Goes,
17:35
Speaker 3: Furs Go.
17:37
Speaker 1: Spencer Hall is joining us right here on Chuck and
17:39
Speaker 1: Buck in the morning. So yes, Western Conference Finals get
17:43
Speaker 1: started tonight. And man, I don't know. I mean, if
17:46
Speaker 1: Victor Webin Yama stays healthy, I don't know when we're
17:51
Speaker 1: not going to get this matchup in the Western Conference Finals.
17:56
Speaker 1: I mean, are we going to get Are we going
17:57
Speaker 1: to watch it five years in a row? Eight years
18:02
Speaker 1: in a row? I mean, these two teams are so
18:06
Speaker 1: well built that it's terrifying. I realize we're going to
18:14
Speaker 1: probably get the Sonics. I think we're definitely going to
18:17
Speaker 1: get the Sonics back, and I think that's going to
18:19
Speaker 1: happen in the next year or two. It's going to
18:23
Speaker 1: be a long ass weight to be better than the
18:26
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City.
18:27
Speaker 2: Thunder, and it's going to be aggravating.
18:29
Speaker 1: They are so good, and they are so young, and
18:33
Speaker 1: they are so perfectly constructed financially. I mean, like I
18:38
Speaker 1: said before, they have one roster spot, they've got two
18:41
Speaker 1: first round picks, so they're going to be able to
18:44
Speaker 1: package like a couple players or a pick and get
18:47
Speaker 1: something else without taking away from the bottom of their bench.
18:54
Speaker 1: And they've even got two or three guys. I mean,
18:58
Speaker 1: we are going to in the expansion Draft, probably the
19:03
Speaker 1: first pick in the draft's going to be a player
19:06
Speaker 1: from the Thunder because that's how deep they are. I mean,
19:09
Speaker 1: they're going to have like if they protect, if they're
19:12
Speaker 1: able to protect six, maybe seven guys, even up to eight.
19:18
Speaker 1: I mean, the Thunder is probably the first pick in
19:20
Speaker 1: the expansion Draft, and then they'll allow them to protect
19:24
Speaker 1: some more. Otherwise a Thunder player might be the first
19:27
Speaker 1: three picks in the expansion Draft. I could see that, yeah,
19:30
Speaker 1: and so we definitely got to pluck one of those
19:33
Speaker 1: guys away to start the process. But it's just they're
19:37
Speaker 1: just so well set up. I mean, Jalen Williams hasn't
19:39
Speaker 1: even played but a couple games, and even that at
19:45
Speaker 1: like seventy five percent, and they've they've gone eight to
19:48
Speaker 1: no and they're not showing any sign of slowing down.
19:51
Speaker 1: I hope the Spurs get them. I think the Spurs
19:54
Speaker 1: are wildly entertaining to watch, led by Wimby. I hope
19:58
Speaker 1: they get them. I hope they get the more often
20:01
Speaker 1: in the next decade than the Thunder get them. But
20:03
Speaker 1: I think it's these two teams in the Western Conference finals,
20:06
Speaker 1: barring injuries, I don't know, for seven of the next
20:11
Speaker 1: eight years. I think that's what we're staring at well.
20:13
Speaker 5: And I will hope that if the thunder do end
20:16
Speaker 5: up winning and heading to the NBA Finals, that at
20:18
Speaker 5: least this goes to Game seven and they're maybe a
20:21
Speaker 5: little tired. I don't they don't need another short series
20:24
Speaker 5: and lots of rest. Yeah, and then I'll just be
20:27
Speaker 5: an Eastern Conference yeah fan.
20:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, the Knicks are playing championship. I mean, the
20:31
Speaker 1: way the Knicks are playing right now, I think they
20:33
Speaker 1: could beat anybody right now. But I can't imagine they
20:39
Speaker 1: can stay as hot as they are right I mean,
20:41
Speaker 1: they're playing better than we've ever seen them play. So
20:45
Speaker 1: I do think the winner of this series does win
20:47
Speaker 1: the NBA Championship. So it comes down to whether or
20:51
Speaker 1: not those mismatches that the Spurs were taking advantage of
20:54
Speaker 1: during the regular season to thump the Thunder versus the
20:57
Speaker 1: Thunder have the championship experience. And nearly every time that
21:02
Speaker 1: up and coming team has to get knocked down by
21:05
Speaker 1: the team that knows how to win a series like this,
21:09
Speaker 1: and that's the tradition. But maybe Wimby is so special
21:13
Speaker 1: that he bucks every tradition. Maybe we'll see. But it
21:16
Speaker 1: starts tonight five point thirty on NBC. You don't have
21:20
Speaker 1: to have a streaming service to watch the Conference five.
21:23
Speaker 5: Actually, if it's on NBC and you don't have normal cable, well.
21:28
Speaker 1: Then there's that. That's me all right. ABC's next on
21:31
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KHARFM, Chuck and Ashley
21:35
Speaker 1: with you here this morning. It is a Monday morning.
21:37
Speaker 1: Great to have you with us. We have a baseball
21:39
Speaker 1: team that just can't get out of its own way.
21:43
Speaker 1: Very high expectations, not just here locally but nationally for
21:46
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six Seattle Mariners, but once again they
21:50
Speaker 1: have started the season poorly, and right now they're just
21:53
Speaker 1: playing bad baseball. There's no getting around it. If it
21:56
Speaker 1: weren't for the Houston Astros and our apparent now domination
22:01
Speaker 1: over them, where would we be twenty two, twenty sixth
22:05
Speaker 1: record after yesterday's eight three loss to the San Diego Padres.
22:09
Speaker 1: Who I know, I had a good record, but they
22:11
Speaker 1: weren't even playing well. They haven't been hitting. They just
22:14
Speaker 1: have a devast They've had a devastating bullpen that they've
22:17
Speaker 1: been relying on this entire year. So you don't want
22:19
Speaker 1: to be trailing the San Diego Padres after the fifth inning.
22:22
Speaker 1: That seems to be the ingredient that is most important
22:26
Speaker 1: to this recipe. And yet we were always trailing. I
22:30
Speaker 1: mean have we never have we led the San Diego
22:33
Speaker 1: Padres this year? Didn't feel like it.
22:36
Speaker 2: Not this year. I don't believe it.
22:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly not this weekend. It didn't happen. And so
22:40
Speaker 1: eight to three the final score yesterday. George Kirby had
22:43
Speaker 1: been pitching great until he wasn't. In the sixth inning,
22:46
Speaker 1: he got roughed up for five runs. Padres go onto
22:49
Speaker 1: the eight three victory, and so Mariners start a series
22:52
Speaker 1: with the White Sox tonight having a twenty two and
22:55
Speaker 1: twenty six record, and so we get to the ABC's
22:57
Speaker 1: of the MS, not necessarily about last night's game. We'll
23:01
Speaker 1: see where the alphabet leads us, and we do start anew.
23:04
Speaker 1: So A is for aggravating, and I think it's the
23:07
Speaker 1: most aggravating. I'm not angry about it. I didn't make
23:13
Speaker 1: it as for angry, and I'm not changing any of
23:17
Speaker 1: my predictions going into this season. I still think they'll
23:20
Speaker 1: settle in just apparently it is going to happen in
23:23
Speaker 1: the summer again, and I think that they will slowly
23:27
Speaker 1: and then surely pull away from everyone else in the
23:30
Speaker 1: American League West. And I think we're going to have
23:32
Speaker 1: playoff baseball this year. But it is number one aggravating
23:35
Speaker 1: that this has to happen every year, no matter how
23:38
Speaker 1: good they look on paper. And then you can't play
23:42
Speaker 1: a more aggravating brand of baseball where your pitcher gets
23:47
Speaker 1: the job done on Friday night and you don't score
23:49
Speaker 1: a run, and then the next day you score four
23:52
Speaker 1: times but your pitcher gives up seven. But you also
23:56
Speaker 1: played a role in it because you didn't start scoring
23:58
Speaker 1: runs on Saturday until you're already down five to nothing.
24:02
Speaker 1: Then finally you show some life, start getting back into
24:05
Speaker 1: the game, and then we leave Logan Gilbert in for
24:07
Speaker 1: too long and he gives up two more runs in
24:10
Speaker 1: the seventh, and now that's too big of a deficit
24:15
Speaker 1: to overcome. And then you get to Sunday one to nothing.
24:19
Speaker 1: Plugging along, George Kirby starts getting battered around, and we
24:23
Speaker 1: aren't prepared at all for that outcome, so he just
24:27
Speaker 1: has to get battered until we're out of the game.
24:30
Speaker 1: And sure enough what happens after that. Finally we put
24:34
Speaker 1: together some good at bats, even without a hit, and
24:37
Speaker 1: put some runs on the board, but then give it
24:40
Speaker 1: right back to them, give another one right back to them,
24:42
Speaker 1: because we're pitching a guy that is barely major league
24:47
Speaker 1: caliber in that situation. And I get why you're doing it,
24:50
Speaker 1: because you're still down four at that stage, but it
24:54
Speaker 1: is the most aggravating way to play baseball possible. The
24:59
Speaker 1: offense does not show up until they're behind by seven runs.
25:04
Speaker 1: The pitching, once the offense does get you back into
25:08
Speaker 1: the game, gives it all away immediately. I mean, you
25:12
Speaker 1: just couldn't be playing a more aggravating version of baseball
25:16
Speaker 1: right now.
25:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would agree, And I do think it's funny because,
25:18
Speaker 5: as you were saying, you know, this happens every year,
25:21
Speaker 5: but you just kind of want them, You want to
25:24
Speaker 5: see them come out differently and not have to go
25:27
Speaker 5: through this every year.
25:28
Speaker 2: But I don't know if it's just.
25:31
Speaker 5: Being in the moment, I feel like this one's more
25:34
Speaker 5: frustrating than it has been in the last couple of years.
25:38
Speaker 2: Like, I don't remember being this frustrated last year.
25:40
Speaker 5: But I wonder if that's just like the PTSD in
25:43
Speaker 5: me as a Maritors fan, that just washes away the
25:45
Speaker 5: previous season and I'm only in the moment now.
25:48
Speaker 1: I think it's right. I think it's right on par
25:52
Speaker 1: to how frustrated we were last year with the start,
25:55
Speaker 1: I mean, and then the previous year was an entire
25:57
Speaker 1: year of frustrating.
25:58
Speaker 2: Yeah that was because it never one I remember.
26:00
Speaker 1: Was very freshrating, you know, Yeah, I mean, it just
26:02
Speaker 1: kind of never did come together.
26:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, But I think it's like, it's our brains do
26:07
Speaker 5: this to us, where oh gosh, this is I don't
26:09
Speaker 5: remember it being this irritating or this frustrating, at least
26:12
Speaker 5: to me.
26:13
Speaker 2: And then I'm like Oh, no, it probably was.
26:15
Speaker 5: I was felt just the same way last year, but
26:17
Speaker 5: I don't remember it because I've blocked it out.
26:19
Speaker 1: I think it's aggravating, more aggravating because it's just another
26:23
Speaker 1: year of it. Oh and this was supposed to be
26:25
Speaker 1: the year where we weren't gonna do that, or at
26:27
Speaker 1: least that's how I convinced myself. Yeah, I said, we're
26:30
Speaker 1: gonna actually have a more comfortable season this year. I mean,
26:33
Speaker 1: we're gonna have our aggravating moments, but I think we're
26:35
Speaker 1: going to comfortably get through the American League West. And
26:38
Speaker 1: there's been nothing comfortable about this nothing. Yeah, it has
26:42
Speaker 1: been a is for aggravating. And yeah, can't we don't
26:48
Speaker 1: seize any momentum, Home road doesn't matter, can't hit lefties,
26:53
Speaker 1: can't seem to solve that. I mean, we're gonna get
26:56
Speaker 1: into some other things coming up at nine o'clock about
26:58
Speaker 1: this team, but aggravating is certainly the word BS for brash.
27:04
Speaker 1: He's ready enough. I don't need to see any more
27:07
Speaker 1: domination of poor Tripaa batters in the PCL. He shouldn't
27:11
Speaker 1: have even pitched yesterday. He was eligible to come off
27:14
Speaker 1: the injury list. What are we doing. What are you
27:17
Speaker 1: waiting for? He said he wasn't even ready, He didn't
27:20
Speaker 1: even feel he needed to go on the injury list.
27:22
Speaker 1: You put him on the fifteen day il he dominates
27:26
Speaker 1: his first outing. He should have been on the major
27:29
Speaker 1: league roster yesterday, and instead he just dominated a bunch
27:33
Speaker 1: of PCL players again last night, and we wasted Matt
27:36
Speaker 1: Brash outing. So he's not going to be activated today
27:39
Speaker 1: because he just pitched last night. But you can expect
27:42
Speaker 1: Matt Brash to be activated again by Tuesday. But maybe
27:46
Speaker 1: we could have used him yesterday. Maybe we wouldn't have
27:48
Speaker 1: kept George in for an entire inning giving up four
27:51
Speaker 1: hundred foot blasts one after another, if we actually had
27:55
Speaker 1: a little more depth in the bullpen.
27:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, it does seem like our bullpen pitchers are were
27:59
Speaker 5: not at a a luxury of over abundance right now,
28:03
Speaker 5: so you know, having anyone.
28:05
Speaker 1: And yet we still don't use our guys, right.
28:07
Speaker 2: That's what I do. I can't Well let's add that
28:10
Speaker 2: to the aggravating part.
28:12
Speaker 1: Well, that's another thing I'm gonna get into at nine o'clock.
28:14
Speaker 1: I mean, we go four days without Munno's pitching again
28:18
Speaker 1: because we only time we put him in is in
28:20
Speaker 1: the most cozy, perfect situation. I mean, you're gonna so
28:24
Speaker 1: he's gonna pitch. The next time he's gonna pitch, he
28:26
Speaker 1: gets lit up. You blame yourselves. Blame yourselves, U see
28:32
Speaker 1: us for Colt. Colt Emerson certainly was the story yesterday,
28:36
Speaker 1: and of all the players, he probably had the best
28:40
Speaker 1: of bats yesterday. He had a walk, he had he
28:43
Speaker 1: got in the hole and still ended up making strong
28:45
Speaker 1: contact the right field, still without his first hit. Maybe
28:48
Speaker 1: he's saving that for the family tonight that'll get into
28:51
Speaker 1: town to watch him play major League baseball for the
28:53
Speaker 1: first time in person. But certainly it's exciting to have
28:58
Speaker 1: Colt Emerson. And we'll again bring up our original topic
29:03
Speaker 1: today at nine o'clock about how I didn't envision this
29:08
Speaker 1: being his way to debut, which we'll talk about again
29:12
Speaker 1: at nine, but I'll say this, I mean, it feels
29:16
Speaker 1: to me like he is here to stay. I think
29:20
Speaker 1: it's kind of silly if you've waited all this time
29:23
Speaker 1: and you've said all these things and then you do
29:26
Speaker 1: activate him and he's just here for as long as
29:28
Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan is on the injury list. They signed him
29:32
Speaker 1: to a nine year contract for a reason. He was
29:35
Speaker 1: given the opportunity to win a job out of spring
29:38
Speaker 1: training for a reason. They believe he's special, and not
29:43
Speaker 1: just as a baseball player, but between the ears special.
29:46
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's ready for this cus for
29:49
Speaker 1: call up. I don't know. I just watched him Friday
29:51
Speaker 1: night and I didn't think to myself as I was leaving,
29:54
Speaker 1: we got to get this guy up today. I did
29:56
Speaker 1: not feel that way leaving the ballpark on Friday night,
30:00
Speaker 1: kind of felt like he could use a little more seasoning.
30:03
Speaker 1: But with the dawn of an injury, he's activated and Ashley,
30:08
Speaker 1: I just don't know if I'm gonna play I'm play
30:11
Speaker 1: yo yo with him no better or not up and
30:13
Speaker 1: down from triple and I don't think I'm sending him back.
30:16
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a scenario where I would if he's
30:19
Speaker 1: just in over his head, but I think cold Emerson's
30:23
Speaker 1: here to stay. That's got to be. That's at least
30:26
Speaker 1: got to be the mindset of the organization.
30:29
Speaker 5: I would hope so, because and we've talked about this
30:30
Speaker 5: from the very beginning before the season started, that we
30:33
Speaker 5: would hope he would or once he signed that contract,
30:35
Speaker 5: we would hope they would take their time with him
30:37
Speaker 5: and make sure that he was, you know, excelling down
30:40
Speaker 5: there before they brought him up, because the last thing
30:42
Speaker 5: we wanted was him to come up and then not
30:44
Speaker 5: do well and then go back and forth and back
30:45
Speaker 5: and forth.
30:46
Speaker 2: That is not your plan with him at all. And
30:48
Speaker 2: so I hope as.
30:49
Speaker 5: Much as it happened at a time where it was
30:51
Speaker 5: earlier than we thought it was going to happen and
30:53
Speaker 5: not ideal, I would hope that their mindset is the
30:56
Speaker 5: same and that he is here to stay.
30:58
Speaker 4: Yeah.
30:58
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, there's a scenario that unfolds where you're like, Okay,
31:02
Speaker 1: he clearly needs some more seasoning. Not the end of
31:04
Speaker 1: the world. We send him back down to Tacoma and
31:06
Speaker 1: we get him right again and then call them back
31:09
Speaker 1: up under more ideal circumstances. But I would think the
31:14
Speaker 1: organization's mindset is he's been activated and he's never going
31:17
Speaker 1: to be sent back down to the miners again. That
31:21
Speaker 1: would be my mindset if I was Jerry and Justin
31:23
Speaker 1: and Dan. Absolutely, And then finally we'll slip in d
31:27
Speaker 1: because I got to talk about this today. I'm going
31:29
Speaker 1: to go ahead and make it DAS for detention, because
31:32
Speaker 1: I originally had DAS for done, But I'm going to
31:35
Speaker 1: go ahead and say detention. But I do know this,
31:38
Speaker 1: Leo Revas is not allowed to challenge another pitch for
31:42
Speaker 1: an undetermined amount of time going forward. You are in trouble,
31:47
Speaker 1: young man.
31:48
Speaker 3: You are.
31:48
Speaker 1: You are being sent to your room without you know, challenges.
31:52
Speaker 5: Okay, we said this weeks ago too, and he's still
31:55
Speaker 5: able to challenge.
31:56
Speaker 1: You are you? I mean, you have had a bad year,
32:00
Speaker 1: not been good defensively, You've not been good on the
32:02
Speaker 1: base paths, and you can't hit at all. At least
32:08
Speaker 1: don't take a challenge away from another hitter that actually
32:13
Speaker 1: has a chance at the plate, especially when you're wrong
32:17
Speaker 1: all the time.
32:18
Speaker 2: I've gotten one right, I think in all of his challenges.
32:21
Speaker 1: But his challenge has come at the worst possible time.
32:24
Speaker 1: He was up one to zero in the count and
32:26
Speaker 1: he challenged last night and it wasn't even close. I mean,
32:31
Speaker 1: the whole ball was in the strike zone. And he's
32:34
Speaker 1: challenging our not even our nine hole hitter. He came
32:37
Speaker 1: off the bench to replace JP on a night where
32:40
Speaker 1: we were supposed to not have to deal with Leo
32:43
Speaker 1: Reebos crap at bats and yet he comes off the bench,
32:46
Speaker 1: gets in there, uses our last challenge at the worst
32:49
Speaker 1: possible time, and then isn't even right about it. I
32:53
Speaker 1: don't give him another one. I know that we are.
32:55
Speaker 1: This is sort of an evolution, trying to figure out
32:58
Speaker 1: how to use it. But there was talk at the
33:00
Speaker 1: beginning of the year that everybody was going to get
33:02
Speaker 1: the right to use challenges, but they might have to
33:05
Speaker 1: be revoked. Leo Reevos's right to challenge has to be revoked.
33:11
Speaker 1: And unless it's a situation like ninth inning, you whisper.
33:15
Speaker 1: If you need a challenge, you can use a challenge here.
33:17
Speaker 1: But he doesn't get to use a challenge at any
33:19
Speaker 1: other time.
33:20
Speaker 2: And you better be damn sure when you challenge. He's
33:23
Speaker 2: terrible at the worst.
33:25
Speaker 5: Again, this is a month ago we were saying he
33:27
Speaker 5: shouldn't be allowed to challenge anymore, and here we are
33:29
Speaker 5: and he's still challenging.
33:30
Speaker 1: Last night's took the cake. That was I was screaming
33:34
Speaker 1: at the television. The poor dogs are scared, all right.
33:37
Speaker 1: Coming up next, it's time to get out the fishing poles.
33:41
Speaker 1: As we're getting ready for the conference finals. And a
33:44
Speaker 1: Game seven all at the exact same time. Oh, it's
33:48
Speaker 1: too much to take Sports Radio ninety three point three
33:50
Speaker 1: KJRFM fishing song of all the fishing songs, it's my
33:54
Speaker 1: favorite mine too. Yeah, good morning to you all. It's
33:57
Speaker 1: time to see who's gone fishing over the weekend. And yes,
34:00
Speaker 1: I realize inside the NBA uses this, we steal it.
34:03
Speaker 1: I mean, why would we come up with something different?
34:05
Speaker 1: It's so clever, so fun.
34:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems that would be just more work for us.
34:08
Speaker 1: Yeah. They also don't have green jacket drafts. We do,
34:12
Speaker 1: so we do, of course send people fishing ourselves from
34:16
Speaker 1: our green jacket to competitions this time of the year.
34:20
Speaker 1: And so let's get into it. First of all, from
34:23
Speaker 1: the PGA Championship, I did win the green Jacket and
34:28
Speaker 1: our PGA championship. I will set it aside for a
34:32
Speaker 1: later time so I can gloat in a more appropriate fashion.
34:37
Speaker 5: I did feel bad for Dick Fame. He sent me
34:39
Speaker 5: a text over the weekend. I was like, hey, can
34:40
Speaker 5: I see who everyone picks? I can see how we're
34:42
Speaker 5: all doing. So I sent it, and then I sent
34:44
Speaker 5: like where everyone was at? And I said, just so
34:45
Speaker 5: you know, Chuck's probably winning this. This was on Saturday,
34:48
Speaker 5: I said, because he goes, Well, but what if I
34:51
Speaker 5: have the winner? I said, well, you have two people
34:53
Speaker 5: that miss the cut, as do I, as does kid
34:55
Speaker 5: Chus the only one who had everyone make the cut,
34:57
Speaker 5: he and barring some like you, we have to have
35:00
Speaker 5: the winner who wins by fifteen strokes.
35:02
Speaker 2: Basically, right win?
35:04
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah? So yeah I won because of that. Yeah,
35:08
Speaker 1: I won because all four guys make cuts, and all
35:10
Speaker 1: three of you had two guys that didn't make the cut,
35:13
Speaker 1: and as a matter of fact, your top two golfers.
35:15
Speaker 1: I was last. If you just took the scores of
35:17
Speaker 1: the top two golfers, I was fourth out of the
35:20
Speaker 1: four of us. But I had everybody, So I think
35:23
Speaker 1: you do get a little This is why we do it.
35:25
Speaker 1: You do get a little credit for Yeah, you picked it.
35:27
Speaker 1: Getting all four four to make the cut, that's a
35:29
Speaker 1: big deal. Yeah. So yes, I will celebrate that. I
35:33
Speaker 1: will celebrate that in your face.
35:34
Speaker 2: Will not celebrate that, but you will at a.
35:37
Speaker 1: Later date when it's appropriate and we can play the
35:40
Speaker 1: music and all of that.
35:41
Speaker 2: I will be grudgingly play the music.
35:44
Speaker 1: The Detroit Pistons, though, have gone fishing. They are out
35:48
Speaker 1: as a one seed, and I do believe that they
35:51
Speaker 1: are a perfect example of one of those teams that
35:54
Speaker 1: had a breakthrough regular season. Looks like they got a
35:57
Speaker 1: really bright future, but they needed to fail in the
36:00
Speaker 1: playoffs number one, to learn some valuable lessons to use
36:02
Speaker 1: in the future, and also to see where their weaknesses were,
36:06
Speaker 1: because I think they got exposed by the Cleveland Cavaliers,
36:10
Speaker 1: certainly in game number seven. I mean, they have one score,
36:12
Speaker 1: they have one guy that they can count on to score,
36:15
Speaker 1: and they still were a one seed heading into the playoffs.
36:19
Speaker 1: So that's something they're going to have to get fixed
36:20
Speaker 1: in the offseason. At knocks Cade Cunningham he has gone
36:24
Speaker 1: fishing acade. He was the leading scorer in the playoffs
36:28
Speaker 1: so far to this point, and certainly was my leading
36:31
Speaker 1: scorer off of my team, and so he has gone. Also,
36:35
Speaker 1: Jalen Duran is.
36:36
Speaker 2: Gone sucked for me anyway off.
36:38
Speaker 1: Of Ashley's team. So he finishes with one hundred and
36:42
Speaker 1: forty three points. So as we get ready for the
36:44
Speaker 1: conference finals, I do have nine hundred and forty eight
36:47
Speaker 1: points to Spencer's eight hundred and ten. It's pretty good lead.
36:51
Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty eight points. I do have Stefan
36:54
Speaker 1: Cassel and SGA still remaining. Not a bad couple of
36:58
Speaker 1: guys to still have. But he has all four of
37:01
Speaker 1: his basketball players.
37:02
Speaker 2: That's going to be the tough part right there.
37:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wimby, Donovan, Mitchell de Aaron Fox, and Jalen Williams.
37:07
Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised I'm only up one thirty eight because
37:11
Speaker 1: Wimby's been out a couple of games and Williams hasn't
37:14
Speaker 1: played at all, and so I was hoping that my
37:17
Speaker 1: lead would be bigger. But it's not. It's not big enough.
37:23
Speaker 1: It's not big enough.
37:25
Speaker 5: You've still got two people, and SGA isn't gonna put
37:28
Speaker 5: up puny numbers.
37:29
Speaker 1: No, I think he'll put up He hasn't even put
37:31
Speaker 1: up great numbers yet, but I think he's going to.
37:34
Speaker 1: That said, I'm gonna have to to win. I can't.
37:38
Speaker 1: It's not I can't have the Spurs versus the Cavaliers
37:41
Speaker 1: done well.
37:42
Speaker 2: And here's the thing too, you got to think about
37:44
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City. They've won. How many games are they how
37:47
Speaker 2: many did they play? Did they win four? Yeah, that's
37:50
Speaker 2: what I was gonna say.
37:50
Speaker 5: So you haven't even had to go like extra games
37:53
Speaker 5: in a series and you've got the lead.
37:54
Speaker 2: So I think, I think you're in a good place.
37:56
Speaker 3: Eh.
37:57
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be close. But that's what we want. Excitement.
37:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, you're right, You're right. It's not going
38:01
Speaker 1: to be close. In the Stanley Cup playoffs.
38:03
Speaker 2: We will have excitement there.
38:04
Speaker 1: We will have one team get eliminated from the playoffs
38:07
Speaker 1: tonight because it's a Game seven, and I know I
38:10
Speaker 1: had an opportunity. I've given tickets to go on top
38:14
Speaker 1: of a mountain and eat and drink whatever I wanted
38:19
Speaker 1: that could be summoned from the world. Oh wow, by
38:22
Speaker 1: a god who would hand feed me. You know, whatever
38:26
Speaker 1: it is that I wanted I could. I could just
38:30
Speaker 1: have basically a celestial experience a top mount Rainier. I
38:34
Speaker 1: was offered tickets to that. I did because tonight's Game
38:37
Speaker 1: seven of a Stanley Cup playoff series and I've been
38:40
Speaker 1: told there's nothing like it.
38:42
Speaker 2: Well, so you've been told correctly.
38:44
Speaker 5: But yeah, so it wouldn't have compared right, right, Yeah,
38:48
Speaker 5: mount Rainier thing wouldn't have compared to Game seven.
38:51
Speaker 1: Somebody had also invited me over to just give me
38:53
Speaker 1: a billion dollars in cash, and I'm like, well, I'd
38:57
Speaker 1: love to do that, but that's right during games.
39:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't do it.
39:01
Speaker 1: And I've heard there's nothing like it, nothing can compare
39:03
Speaker 1: to it.
39:04
Speaker 2: Only get this chance this time this week.
39:08
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'll watch that tonight, Buffalo versus Montreal. Ashley
39:13
Speaker 1: has sixteen goals and our green jacket to draft for
39:17
Speaker 1: the NHL playoffs. She's six up on Kid who's done,
39:21
Speaker 1: six up on Everett who only has Martin Nishas, and
39:26
Speaker 1: you're eight up on me. Now I have two guys remaining,
39:29
Speaker 1: but they won each from the same two teams you
39:33
Speaker 1: have rem Okay, so I think we're cooked. I think
39:36
Speaker 1: that one's over.
39:36
Speaker 2: Well. I just want to see how big of a
39:38
Speaker 2: lead I can get, though. When te Thompson.
39:41
Speaker 5: Scored the empty netter the other day, I was like,
39:43
Speaker 5: thank you, we needed that garbage goal for Buffalo.
39:46
Speaker 2: We'll take it.
39:47
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not satisfied. I want to win by
39:50
Speaker 1: three times the number.
39:51
Speaker 2: Of goals the rest of the year, correct, I do.
39:54
Speaker 1: I would like to score more goals than the three
39:56
Speaker 1: of you a holes combined.
39:57
Speaker 5: It's been a long time since I've won a Green jacket.
40:00
Speaker 5: I'd like to make it count.
40:01
Speaker 1: Well, you're going to win that one. It's pretty much
40:03
Speaker 1: over with all right. Coming up next, our top story
40:06
Speaker 1: of the day the activation of Colt Emerson, and it
40:09
Speaker 1: comes in a series in which more people were questioning
40:14
Speaker 1: our manager than they have in a number of years.
40:17
Speaker 1: So we'll discuss both of those topics next on Sports
40:20
Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
