0:23
Speaker 2: How do you juxtapose what happened to the Timberwolves in
0:27
Speaker 2: game two as opposed to Game one and have the
0:30
Speaker 2: Luca Lakers flip the switch now that they've gotten in
0:33
Speaker 2: the wind column? What do you expect going forward with
0:37

0:40

0:54
Speaker 2: Welcome in the beginning, come another night of the Ben
0:59
Speaker 2: Man Our Show. We are in the air eywhere Birds
1:06
Speaker 2: of a Feather is. We have a seat, maybe even
1:11
Speaker 2: the best seat, which is good as all the rest
1:14
Speaker 2: in the house. COASTU coast, border to border and beyond
1:18
Speaker 2: on the vast and mighty powerful microphones of fsre am
1:24
Speaker 2: moundating live from the bracket as we level up right
1:30
Speaker 2: there higher in the bracket, as we are hanging out
1:33
Speaker 2: here at the Fox Sports Radio Studios studios, the hollowed
1:39
Speaker 2: hallways where Robbie the Mariner fan has walked through, and
1:43
Speaker 2: this portion of the show made possible by ti Iraq.
1:46
Speaker 2: For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
1:48
Speaker 2: find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
1:52
Speaker 2: ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
1:56
Speaker 2: with convenient installation options like tire installation tire ract dot
2:01
Speaker 2: Com the way tire buying show'd be. So are le
2:05
Speaker 2: this hours from the pro bouncy Ball playoffs will start
2:07
Speaker 2: at skid Row. Think of La, You think of Hollywood,
2:10
Speaker 2: you think of glitz and glamour. The Lakers play on
2:13
Speaker 2: skid Row? How appropriate is that? A total dump down
2:16
Speaker 2: there in downtown La. Anthony Edwards in the Timberwolves looking
2:20
Speaker 2: to take a two to zero lead, win another game
2:23
Speaker 2: on the road and take pretty much complete control of Houkah.
2:27
Speaker 2: Luca and the Lakers. And I don't know if you're
2:31
Speaker 2: watching this game or not, maybe maybe not, but Luca
2:35
Speaker 2: he had a good stat line, a little misleading thirty
2:38
Speaker 2: one points, twelve rebounds and nine assists. And the Lakers
2:43
Speaker 2: it wasn't anything they did the Minnesota team came out sluggish,
2:47
Speaker 2: and the first round series now even up as it
2:51
Speaker 2: was a game that should not have been that close,
2:54
Speaker 2: and Minnesota played one of the worst games, and yet
2:58
Speaker 2: they still ended up only losing.
2:59
Speaker 1: By nine points in this game.
3:01
Speaker 2: In game two, Lebron a non impressive twenty one points
3:06
Speaker 2: Austin reeves at sixteen for the Lakers, who won a chippy,
3:11
Speaker 2: chippy game here in game two. So let us discuss
3:14
Speaker 2: the question, how do you explain the juxtaposition for the
3:21
Speaker 2: Timberwolves between game one and game number two.
3:24
Speaker 1: So I've got.
3:25
Speaker 2: Lowercase wheel of fortune and the ruminators, and we will
3:31
Speaker 2: combine all of these things together, and we're going to
3:34
Speaker 2: make a big bucket of buttered popcorn, is what We're
3:39
Speaker 2: going to make.
3:39
Speaker 1: Just a big giant bucket of buttered popcorn. So a.
3:45
Speaker 2: Minnesota had a great opportunity, like they were given a
3:47
Speaker 2: cash cow. And as long as you keep the cash
3:51
Speaker 2: cow alive and you give the cash cow plenty of
3:54
Speaker 2: food and make sure it's out of the elements, you're
3:57
Speaker 2: gonna make a lot of money because the cash cow
3:59
Speaker 2: is just gonna keep you cash. And they got the
4:01
Speaker 2: cash cow, and they took it right to the butcher shop.
4:03
Speaker 2: They said, here, let's drop it off right at the
4:05
Speaker 2: butcher shop and we'll make some ground beef out of
4:08
Speaker 2: the cow. We're gonna take the cow, the cash cow,
4:11
Speaker 2: and we're gonna just drop it off right there at
4:13
Speaker 2: the butcher And that's what they did here. Mayet maybe
4:17
Speaker 2: they were stuck in traffic. Maybe that was it. The
4:20
Speaker 2: rush hour traffic there, gridlock and whatnot. It was a
4:23
Speaker 2: very messy first quarter for Minnesota, and I think for
4:26
Speaker 2: most NBA fans it was disappointing. I don't want wants
4:29
Speaker 2: the Lakers to win. Minnesota really the people's team in
4:32
Speaker 2: this series here. But Anthony Edwards, who was fined fifty
4:37
Speaker 2: thousand dollars but yet in this game for comments he
4:41
Speaker 2: made that were recorded on a grainy cell phone. But
4:45
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards did not play with that big D energy.
4:49
Speaker 2: This was more lowercase D from Anthony Edwards in the
4:52
Speaker 2: beginning of the game. And he was the word I
4:55
Speaker 2: will use is be draggled at the start of the game,
4:59
Speaker 2: mostly on the defensive set. It wasn't just just him,
5:03
Speaker 2: but he's the two hundred million dollar player. He likes
5:05
Speaker 2: to tell you about that he loves to tell how
5:06
Speaker 2: big as Johnson is, and yet he went out there
5:08
Speaker 2: and was very small early in the game. And it
5:11
Speaker 2: was a matador performance early on oh o o, a
5:17
Speaker 2: matador defense had a minus nineteen while he was on
5:22
Speaker 2: the court in the first quarter. Now, I didn't play
5:25
Speaker 2: in the NBA. I don't think that's good. I just
5:27
Speaker 2: do an overnight show. I don't think that's particularly good.
5:29
Speaker 2: Talking about setting the tone, it was a slack job,
5:32
Speaker 2: slack job performance. Minnesota was lumbering the entire night for
5:41
Speaker 2: the most part. I mean, there were a couple of
5:42
Speaker 2: stretches halfway decent, but it was mostly a lumbering performance
5:46
Speaker 2: by the Timberwolves. Here they failed to capitalize on. Yet
5:49
Speaker 2: again was a lot of wide open looks. I mean,
5:52
Speaker 2: this is this is pretty crazy. An NBA team in
5:55
Speaker 2: the playoffs is getting this many wide open opportunities as
5:58
Speaker 2: the Lakers just are not a good defensive team. And
6:00
Speaker 2: they've seen we've seen that now in the first two
6:03
Speaker 2: games of the plas was a feeble effort by Minnesota
6:05
Speaker 2: offensively considering how many open shots they had.
6:08
Speaker 1: Now turning the page. Number of you have pointed out.
6:11
Speaker 2: To me via social media and email, you've said, uh,
6:16
Speaker 2: it's all over now the Lakers have turned things on.
6:18
Speaker 1: So have Hookah Lucas Lakers flipped the switch? Have they
6:23
Speaker 1: flipped the switch?
6:24
Speaker 3: Now?
6:24
Speaker 2: They won Game two at home and all that. And
6:27
Speaker 2: so when you do a cross a cross benefit analysis
6:31
Speaker 2: and you look at everything here, I'm gonna use the
6:33
Speaker 2: wheel of fortune and I'm gonna I'm gonna I have
6:36
Speaker 2: an end?
6:36
Speaker 1: Can I buy an Oh? Can I buy? I have
6:39
Speaker 1: an end? Can I buy?
6:40
Speaker 4: And?
6:40
Speaker 3: Oh?
6:41
Speaker 1: That would be no. Uh no would be the answer because.
6:43
Speaker 2: When you look around here, you knew the Lakers were
6:46
Speaker 2: gonna come out and play with more gusto.
6:49
Speaker 1: Right they were.
6:50
Speaker 2: They were panted in game one, absolutely embarrassed, looked like
6:53
Speaker 2: they didn't even belong to the playoffs in game one.
6:56
Speaker 2: Uh so they came out, they had more intensity and
6:59
Speaker 2: all that stuff. Fine, Okay, that lasted a quarter, but
7:02
Speaker 2: that was enough. The Lakers jumped out. They had a
7:04
Speaker 2: twenty two point lead at the beginning of this game.
7:07
Speaker 2: Here Luca sixteen points early on, and that was mostly
7:14
Speaker 2: taking advantage of multi time defensive Player of the Year
7:17
Speaker 2: who becomes off in a liability in the playoffs in
7:20
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert. But yet when things calm down, I was
7:26
Speaker 2: not impressed. I mean, I don't know that anyone that
7:29
Speaker 2: knows ball thinks the Lakers looked all that good. So
7:33
Speaker 2: I don't know how you can take that as a
7:34
Speaker 2: quality performance by the Lakers. The finger biting time has
7:39
Speaker 2: arrived in La Laine, like La La Land, you look around.
7:43
Speaker 2: I would argue that's a bad win for the Lakers
7:45
Speaker 2: because it gives them false confidence to think that they've
7:48
Speaker 2: somehow fixed something when they haven't.
7:52
Speaker 1: They haven't fixed anything.
7:54
Speaker 2: Minnesota was frazzled on offense, it was not a case
7:59
Speaker 2: where they were frazzled because of shut down defense by
8:03
Speaker 2: the Lakers.
8:04
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, the.
8:05
Speaker 2: Lakers have only really played well in the first quarter
8:08
Speaker 2: of both games. Outside of that, Minnesota has dominated the
8:12
Speaker 2: rest of the game, and.
8:14
Speaker 1: Even in Game two.
8:15
Speaker 2: Even in Game two, Minnesota and we talked about it,
8:17
Speaker 2: we've documented it here. They came out, they sold their
8:19
Speaker 2: pants in the beginning of the game there and just dreadful.
8:25
Speaker 2: And yet despite all those wide open misshots by the
8:28
Speaker 2: ten rules, they still were within nine points midway through
8:32
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. How emasculating is that for the Lakers
8:38
Speaker 2: Minnesota played one of the worst games, and they were
8:40
Speaker 2: within nine points, and the Lakers have some explaining to
8:45
Speaker 2: do on their offense. You look around here. Now, what
8:49
Speaker 2: is my supporting evidence to back that claim up that
8:52
Speaker 2: the Lakers this is a misleading win. It's a bad
8:55
Speaker 2: win because it gives the Lakers false confidence, which is
8:57
Speaker 2: actually good for Minnesota, and people want to see the Lakers.
9:00
Speaker 1: I think most people do.
9:01
Speaker 2: The Lakers over the final thirty six minutes, as a
9:05
Speaker 2: team shot forty one percent for the last three quarters
9:09
Speaker 2: of this game, and they shot eleven percent. I had
9:14
Speaker 2: to double check my malor math on that. I thought
9:17
Speaker 2: maybe I had f that up. They attempted eighteen to
9:20
Speaker 2: three point shots from the second quarter to the end
9:24
Speaker 2: of the game, and they made two of them.
9:28
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that was possible. They were two
9:30
Speaker 1: of eighteen.
9:31
Speaker 2: It's eleven point one percent over the final thirty six minutes.
9:35
Speaker 1: But wait, there's more.
9:37
Speaker 2: Luca shot thirty eight percent over the rest of the
9:40
Speaker 2: game and Lebron was at thirty seven percent. So Minnesota's
9:44
Speaker 2: defense when I'm trying to tell you, it's a very
9:46
Speaker 2: worthy way of saying that Minnesota's defense was on point
9:51
Speaker 2: the issues they had were early on. They just were
9:54
Speaker 2: not quite there to start there. And despite Luca and
10:00
Speaker 2: the Wolves, they get the headline there, but the Wolves
10:03
Speaker 2: boxed up the Lakers. There was a seven minute, seven
10:08
Speaker 2: minute drought where the Lakers didn't score a field goal
10:11
Speaker 2: seven minutes. They went seven minutes in the fourth quarter
10:15
Speaker 2: at home in a playoff game. Holy crap, they blow
10:21
Speaker 2: seven minutes at home against Minnesota.
10:23
Speaker 1: With out scoring a field goal.
10:26
Speaker 2: And I know you're not supposed to say this part,
10:28
Speaker 2: because you know it's protected interest and all that. Anyone
10:32
Speaker 2: else think Lebron James is cooked. Lebron through two games
10:36
Speaker 2: of this series right now, in this moment, looks absolutely
10:40
Speaker 2: old man, old man Lebron. He's taken now thirty seven
10:45
Speaker 2: shots in the first two games to score forty points.
10:48
Speaker 2: Thirty seven shots to score forty points. That's Lebron, that's
10:55
Speaker 2: old man Lebron. Well, I guess he's got to get
10:57
Speaker 2: some of that that good stuff, you know what I'm saying.
11:00
Speaker 2: Whatever magic Pixie does Lebron can get his hands on,
11:04
Speaker 2: that ain't gonna get it done. That is not gonna
11:07
Speaker 2: get it done. Thirty seven shots for forty points. The
11:10
Speaker 2: Lakers are not winning this series. If that is how
11:12
Speaker 2: this is going to go, they're doomed. It's over all
11:16
Speaker 2: right now, last words, So what do you expect looking
11:18
Speaker 2: at this again wide angle lens here, what do you
11:21
Speaker 2: expect going forward? As we're one one is the best
11:25
Speaker 2: of five series. Minnesota has home court advantage now and
11:29
Speaker 2: so they'll go back to the twin season a couple
11:31
Speaker 2: days in this series will continue in the Wolves. As
11:33
Speaker 2: long as this just win at home, they'll win the
11:35
Speaker 2: series in advance to the second round of the playoffs.
11:38
Speaker 1: So here's what I expect.
11:39
Speaker 2: I expect the extended dance remix is what I expect.
11:44
Speaker 2: We do know that the league would like the Lakers
11:46
Speaker 2: to win. Television would like the Lakers to win because
11:48
Speaker 2: there's a lot of dumb people that like the Lakers
11:50
Speaker 2: and the low information fans, so they want the Lakers
11:54
Speaker 2: to win. And so if it's gonna be called fair,
11:59
Speaker 2: everything's on the up and up. Minnesota should win. Do
12:02
Speaker 2: I think that's going to happen. I'd be surprised. I'd
12:06
Speaker 2: be surprised. And it also comes down to the rather
12:10
Speaker 2: manic behavior of the Timberwolves here. It's like the ruminators
12:15
Speaker 2: tune mister Bubbles because the Minnesota Timberwolves are not in
12:21
Speaker 2: the bubble of trust. They are the more talented team
12:25
Speaker 2: from top to bottom than the Lakers. Most people would
12:27
Speaker 2: agree with that. Lebron's old Luca doesn't play defense, so
12:31
Speaker 2: they've got more talent, but you don't trust them. You
12:34
Speaker 2: don't trust them to perform there. They're a bipolar team.
12:37
Speaker 2: There's extreme highs extreme lows. But the fact that they've
12:40
Speaker 2: been able to completely lock down the Lakers and hold
12:44
Speaker 2: them to ninety five and ninety four points on their
12:46
Speaker 2: own court, on their own.
12:49
Speaker 1: Court through the first two games.
12:51
Speaker 2: And we know that generally speaking, the role players perform
12:56
Speaker 2: much better when they are at home, so that bodes
12:59
Speaker 2: well for Minnesota. Guys like well, nas Reed actually played well,
13:03
Speaker 2: and some of these other guys did play well in
13:04
Speaker 2: game one, but I did not play well in Game two,
13:06
Speaker 2: and Dante Evencenzo yeah, also another guy you circle there.
13:10
Speaker 1: So going back to Minnesota, those guys should all play
13:13
Speaker 1: better at home.
13:14
Speaker 2: And you got Lebron looking old Lakers really only playing
13:19
Speaker 2: well one quarter each game, and this is looking pretty
13:22
Speaker 2: good for Minnesota. They've already done what they wanted to do,
13:25
Speaker 2: which was still one game in LA and now they
13:27
Speaker 2: just have to win the games at home.
13:28
Speaker 1: We'll take your thoughts on that. Also the other games,
13:30
Speaker 1: we'll get to those.
13:30
Speaker 2: As we go through a full Mallard monologue coverage, as
13:33
Speaker 2: the Grizzly should have just lost to the Mavericks the
13:36
Speaker 2: way they played in the first two games, as they.
13:38
Speaker 1: Get blown out again.
13:40
Speaker 2: And you also had the rest of the NBA card
13:44
Speaker 2: which saw you, well you watched it.
13:46
Speaker 1: I would assume you watched it.
13:47
Speaker 2: The Indiana Pacers leading from soup to nuts and the
13:51
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks got Dame Liver back. Unfortunately, they also still
13:55
Speaker 2: had Doc Rivers on the sidelines in that game. So
13:58
Speaker 2: that was the other activity in pro Bouncy BAF. If
14:01
Speaker 2: you'd like to be part, we'll open up the phone
14:02
Speaker 2: lines right now eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
14:06

Speaker 2: Also on X at Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Mahlor.
14:15

14:18
Speaker 2: we work our way through the overnight hours and we
14:23
Speaker 2: are here to the early morning hours. Yes, I am

14:44
Speaker 2: used against you in the court of sports radio, so
14:48
Speaker 2: you should factor that in when you send stuff in,
14:50
Speaker 2: and remember that's kind of kind of how that goes
14:54
Speaker 2: later on, if you're with us for the full journey
14:56
Speaker 2: through the overnight hours, as we work.
14:58
Speaker 1: Our way to the very early morning.
15:00
Speaker 2: Hours, we will have the typical bells and whistles, will
15:04
Speaker 2: have the riddle of the day, too much or not
15:07
Speaker 2: enough pass. We're a bunch of other great stuff throughout
15:09
Speaker 2: the overnight hours here, but we'll take a lot of
15:12
Speaker 2: your calls eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight
15:15
Speaker 2: seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine, and
15:20
Speaker 2: you can be part of the program. Well. One of
15:23
Speaker 2: the big stars of the NBA, who I believe was
15:26
Speaker 2: picked in the NBA Basketball injury bingo suffering snap crackle
15:33
Speaker 2: pop or was it a snap crackle pop.
15:35
Speaker 1: We'll take a look at that. We'll get to it,
15:38
Speaker 1: and we will do it next.
15:41
Speaker 4: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
15:43
Speaker 4: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
15:47
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
15:50
Speaker 1: App Bell Miller and you.
15:51
Speaker 2: It is the Ben Mahler Show up all night every night.
15:54
Speaker 2: Good to have you hanging out working the third shift
15:56
Speaker 2: here slaving away Malard monologues and all the other nonsense
16:02
Speaker 2: throughout the overnight hours. And you can interact with the show.
16:06
Speaker 2: It isn't an advantage. You have a lot of people
16:08
Speaker 2: download the podcast does pretty well. None of those people
16:12
Speaker 2: can interact with the live show because they are working
16:15
Speaker 2: the dreaded day shifting live. When you work the dreaded
16:18
Speaker 2: day shift, you cannot participate in the live audio content.
16:23
Speaker 2: You see the problem there. It is probably I know
16:25
Speaker 2: it's problematic, but you can. You can absolutely do it.
16:29
Speaker 2: So take advantage of it and interact on x at
16:34
Speaker 2: Ben Mahler. That's at Ben Mahlor Salet Lorena, FSR Tech,
16:41
Speaker 2: Queen Coop a Bronco fan and your comments can and
16:44
Speaker 2: we'll be used against you in the court of sports radio.
16:51
Speaker 2: So act a cordon and now back to it. Well,
16:55
Speaker 2: and we'd like to alert Bill Miller all the affiliates
16:58
Speaker 2: down the line yet again, has tried to f with
17:01
Speaker 2: the Ben Maler Show, the Fox Sports Radio network deciding
17:04
Speaker 2: to screw over the show as the computer is doing
17:08
Speaker 2: a system update. There are twenty four hours in the day,
17:13
Speaker 2: and the company decides to schedule the system update on
17:18
Speaker 2: the Vintage two thousand computers while the show's on. God forbid,
17:25
Speaker 2: one of the daytime shows has to deal with a
17:26
Speaker 2: system reset.
17:28
Speaker 1: Cannot happen.
17:29
Speaker 2: Apparently we shut down after a certain hour around here,
17:32
Speaker 2: and or we can only do the system update during
17:35
Speaker 2: the overnight show. Not that we actually take calls, unlike
17:38
Speaker 2: a lot of these daytime shows that don't even take calls.
17:41
Speaker 2: They just hide on the microphone and don't even talk
17:43
Speaker 2: to anybody. But we actually take calls and at least
17:48
Speaker 2: once a month, if not more than that, a system update,
17:53
Speaker 2: which is great.
17:53
Speaker 1: So we're efforting that.
17:55
Speaker 2: Ferg Dog says, get out your tuxedos in brooms in Minnesota.
18:00
Speaker 2: This series has gentlemen sweep written all over it. The
18:02
Speaker 2: Timberwolves one of the classiest organizations in sports, so it's
18:07
Speaker 2: not a shock they let the Lakers.
18:08
Speaker 1: Win Game number two.
18:12
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's for television ratings purposes, is what it
18:17
Speaker 2: is what else do we have that see? Charlie in
18:19
Speaker 2: Wisconsin said three out of ten on that Malle monologue, Charlie,
18:25
Speaker 2: my name is malor not Malley. Bad job by Charlie
18:28
Speaker 2: in Wisconsin. His only I'm only saying that, Charlie says,
18:32
Speaker 2: because you nearly made me fall asleep. He's upset. We
18:35
Speaker 2: discussed the Laker Timberwolve series. He says, get some other material.
18:39
Speaker 2: Talk about the ufl or Marble one racing.
18:45
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that. I think you did.
18:46
Speaker 1: You mean Formula one or Marble Racing. I don't know.
18:49
Speaker 5: I think Marble row, you know, like the cigarettes, Marble row.
18:53
Speaker 1: We did talk about marble.
18:55
Speaker 2: We talked about marble racing back many years ago during
18:58
Speaker 2: the pandemic. But Charlie, you were like a kid, and
19:00
Speaker 2: I know you weren't listening. He says, everyone would listen
19:03
Speaker 2: if we talked about that. Truck stop fungus is listening.
19:07
Speaker 3: You know.
19:07
Speaker 2: It's a big night. Truck stop Fungus checks in from
19:10
Speaker 2: the Highways and byways of America.
19:12
Speaker 1: He says.
19:12
Speaker 2: He's cooking up a little chicken and veggies in the
19:17
Speaker 2: sleeper tonight. He's listening from a rest stop just outside Lubbock, Texas.
19:23
Speaker 1: Go Wolves. Now.
19:25
Speaker 2: I love the fact that truck Stop Fungus keeps us updated,
19:29
Speaker 2: like where he goes, the highways and byways of.
19:31
Speaker 1: America and all that. And I also like the fact.
19:33
Speaker 2: That he claims to have taken a photo here of
19:37
Speaker 2: his meal and there's a lot of potatoes, looks like
19:39
Speaker 2: there's some grilled chicken there, and appears to be some
19:43
Speaker 2: bell pepper. That's not a bad meal. That's actually somewhat healthy,
19:47
Speaker 2: somewhat healthy, lot of protein in there. You got the greens,
19:50
Speaker 2: you got the potato, you could go on, that got
19:51
Speaker 2: the starch.
19:52
Speaker 1: The problem is it's a blurry photo.
19:54
Speaker 2: Like if you're gonna bother to take a photo, like,
19:57
Speaker 2: wouldn't you like try to square it up? I mean,
20:00
Speaker 2: have these things called smartphones which pretty much do the
20:03
Speaker 2: work for you. Very bizarre, but that's part of the
20:06
Speaker 2: magic of truck Stop Fungus that he does. He's such
20:10
Speaker 2: a an alpha as a truck drive he cannot be
20:13
Speaker 2: bothered to not have a blurry photo at all.
20:18
Speaker 1: All Right, what else do we Let's see page down
20:22
Speaker 1: see here. Late night drug Tester says.
20:24
Speaker 2: You may not have played in the NBA, Ben, but
20:26
Speaker 2: you have been coached by Bill Fitch, who gave you
20:30
Speaker 2: an amazing analysis of the and that's correct. I got
20:32
Speaker 2: my education the late great Bill Fitch, who did coach me, actually,
20:36
Speaker 2: and it played an immedia basketball game for the Hall
20:39
Speaker 2: of Fame coach Bill Fitch who said I was the
20:43
Speaker 2: worst player he ever coached. And keep in mind Bill Fitch.
20:47
Speaker 2: You might not know who that is because he's long
20:50
Speaker 2: gone and he's left this mortal coil. But Bill Fitch, well,
20:53
Speaker 2: he was in the NBA for a long time. He
20:54
Speaker 2: coached the likes of a Keem, Elijahwan and Larry Bird,
20:58
Speaker 2: and so those are the top players, and I was
21:00
Speaker 2: the worst. And I wear that as a badge of honor.
21:03
Speaker 2: And I still run.
21:04
Speaker 1: Into people, my people that I know in the media.
21:07
Speaker 2: A lot of them aren't in the media anymore because
21:09
Speaker 2: of the media business blows. But the people that were there,
21:12
Speaker 2: and they still remember when he called time out in
21:16
Speaker 2: the middle of that event and he highlighted how terrible
21:21
Speaker 2: I was. Appsolute, absolutely supermarket. Steeve says, great analysis on
21:26
Speaker 2: the Lakers. You are absolutely correct. Good job by you
21:29
Speaker 2: holding them accountable. Absolutely on that. King Roy says, Cooper
21:35
Speaker 2: Loop called it. Uh, he said, I said, it's right.
21:38
Speaker 2: The Lakers did not play well. Did not play well.
21:42
Speaker 2: That's absolutely what he meant to say.
21:44
Speaker 5: I called that. If you're going to change the twee,
21:48
Speaker 5: better change the whole thing.
21:50
Speaker 1: It's that, it's called X.
21:51
Speaker 2: It's not called the tweet, it's called X. So it's
21:52
Speaker 2: not that change the well. Again, these things are like art.
21:56
Speaker 2: It's like going to the louver, and it's how what
21:59
Speaker 2: the person you interpret, what they meant, like what they
22:02
Speaker 2: were trying, the point they were trying to get across.
22:04
Speaker 1: Uh, that's why these are so difficult.
22:06
Speaker 2: Chip in the Q's right, so and says, hey, plus
22:07
Speaker 2: on the Malay monologue, basically, I figured the Wolves simply
22:12
Speaker 2: dropped the ball. They lost their focus, especially early on
22:15
Speaker 2: No big mystery here. The Wolves let the Lakers off
22:20
Speaker 2: the hook.
22:22
Speaker 1: He says, all right. Uh.
22:23
Speaker 2: Then this guy Josh who's in Nebraska, he's a Bears
22:27
Speaker 2: fan and he's a Cubs fan, and he says, hey, Ben,
22:30
Speaker 2: how about them Dodgers. Oh wait, they lost to the Cubbies. Now,
22:35
Speaker 2: of course, so well, Listen said, I didn't see a
22:39
Speaker 2: second of it. I'm sure it's like big biggest moment
22:43
Speaker 2: in cub history. I don't know, beat the Dodgers on
22:45
Speaker 2: a random Tuesday night at Wrigley Field. I saw your
22:48
Speaker 2: FEMI checking all my guys in Chicago, your trees. Happy
22:51
Speaker 2: all you guys Chicago guy, I got you. It means something.
22:56
Speaker 2: It means something when you beat the big bad Dodgers.
23:03
Speaker 6: My opinion that shuck.
23:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I guess I give up. It looks like
23:08
Speaker 2: they give up eleven runs. I don't think that's particularly good.
23:10
Speaker 2: I don't well, that's okay. The Angels gave up nine
23:13
Speaker 2: runs to the Pirates. Oh did they?
23:16
Speaker 1: Wow? How many people.
23:17
Speaker 2: Were an Angel Pirate game? How many people went to
23:20
Speaker 2: that game? Holy craft? I mean that is a do
23:25
Speaker 2: you talk about a tough sell?
23:27
Speaker 5: Serious?
23:27
Speaker 2: That is a tough ticket to sell Angels and Pirates?
23:30

24:49
Speaker 1: Let's see let's see if Andrea's online. Three. Hello, Andre,
24:52
Speaker 1: what's going on? Andre?
24:54
Speaker 3: What's going on?
24:55
Speaker 4: Ben?
24:55
Speaker 3: Good to be with you on this early Wednesday, Tuesday.
25:01
Speaker 1: And the Commonwealth right there, the great Andre?
25:04
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Ben, I And it's school vacation, Ben, I
25:07
Speaker 3: have this.
25:08
Speaker 2: Oh we got you all week. We got Andre. We'd
25:10
Speaker 2: like to learn all the affiliates. Andre is in the
25:12
Speaker 2: in the house all week, all week with Andre.
25:15
Speaker 3: We're coming down the home stretch here, Ben, you know,
25:17
Speaker 3: so I'm I'm gearing up and gearing We haven't made
25:19
Speaker 3: it across the press to betch. We haven't quite crossed
25:22
Speaker 3: the bar into the summer months, okay, but where we're
25:25
Speaker 3: slowly but surely moving in that direction. So it's a
25:28
Speaker 3: good time here. Had marathon Monday yesterday. Essentially it was
25:32
Speaker 3: a big deal in the Commonwealth. You know, all of
25:34
Speaker 3: the effort and you know a lot of enthusiasm, you
25:37
Speaker 3: know for the people that are willing to do that.
25:39
Speaker 3: You know, go to that girling that experience for Ben
25:42
Speaker 3: specific to the Lakers in the Minnesota Timberwolves, that was impressed.
25:46
Speaker 3: Night Lakers showing some fight, okay, and they had this
25:49
Speaker 3: game in hand. Let the Timberwolves sneak in you know,
25:52
Speaker 3: fourth quarter they cut it to nine, but they didn't
25:54
Speaker 3: give themselves enough time to get over the top. So
25:56
Speaker 3: they had the game in hand for the majority of it.
25:58
Speaker 3: And maybe we have ourselves series, you know, maybe Anthony
26:01
Speaker 3: Edwards is feel a little bit of the pressure in
26:03
Speaker 3: terms of the heat that he's gotten in the league,
26:05
Speaker 3: in terms of how he's treating the fandom, you know,
26:07
Speaker 3: and and then you know it's getting to him a
26:09
Speaker 3: little bit. So bottom line, Timberwolf, the younger team, they
26:12
Speaker 3: have the best player overall in the series. You know,
26:14
Speaker 3: you would kind of lean towards them, but they opened
26:16
Speaker 3: the door that gave the Lakers the opportunity. And so
26:19
Speaker 3: this thing can go seven games. It could be equivalent
26:21
Speaker 3: of what we're seeing with the Clippers and the Nuggets.
26:23
Speaker 3: Twe evenly matched teams. So I'm liking it, right JJ Reddick,
26:27
Speaker 3: you know, first year coach, you know, showing a little
26:29
Speaker 3: bit of moxie, showing that he's not gonna lay down,
26:32
Speaker 3: so to speak, and he's got some uh you know,
26:34
Speaker 3: put put players in position to be successful.
26:37
Speaker 1: So on and fourth, did you actually watch the wait?
26:39
Speaker 1: Did you actually watch the game? I watched the whole thing, though,
26:42
Speaker 1: you did, and.
26:43
Speaker 2: You your takeaway watching that you thought the Lakers looked good?
26:46
Speaker 1: You did? You saw the whole the entire game. You
26:50
Speaker 1: you think they actually played well? Well?
26:53
Speaker 3: When you when you win in by twenty of the
26:55
Speaker 3: entire game. You don't get the Timberwolves a chance to
26:57
Speaker 3: recover in the fourth quarter and come back, you know,
26:59
Speaker 3: similar exactly.
27:00
Speaker 1: Be right, Andre, That's what that's called you using common sense.
27:03
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean I maybe you're maybe I had a
27:05
Speaker 2: different TV on because what I had.
27:07
Speaker 1: An NBA team to under ninety points?
27:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, they went Lakers went seven minutes at home without
27:13
Speaker 2: scoring in the fourth quarter. I mean, my god, that
27:15
Speaker 2: is uh, I'd fire the coach. Let JJ read to
27:18
Speaker 2: go to a podcast. My god, that's horrible.
27:21
Speaker 3: Jennie bust is a little bit different than mott Isia.
27:23
Speaker 3: So Jeanie Bush is not going to be paying three
27:25
Speaker 3: coaches not to coach and then having to pay a
27:27
Speaker 3: fourth coach. They do things a little bit differently in LA.
27:30
Speaker 1: But well, literally have a coach.
27:32
Speaker 2: I mean he just kind of there and he says,
27:35
Speaker 2: you know, he thinks he's the smartest guy in the
27:36
Speaker 2: room and all that and whatever Lebron wants he does.
27:38
Speaker 2: I mean, didn't we we've learned that that Who was it?
27:42
Speaker 2: One of the former players said, oh, it was Jon
27:45
Speaker 2: Rondo said that he wasn't getting enough playing time. So
27:48
Speaker 2: it'll talk with Lebron and made sure you got more
27:51
Speaker 2: playing time because Lebron's really the coach.
27:53
Speaker 3: So yeah, it seemed to work out, you know, because
27:55
Speaker 3: they won the championship in the bubble and when you
27:57
Speaker 3: get the best way.
27:57
Speaker 2: When you get played, Well, that's not the conversation. Do
27:59
Speaker 2: you agreeing Lebron as the coach? So whether it works
28:02
Speaker 2: or not really not the conversation. The conversation is is
28:05
Speaker 2: he the coach or not? And Rajon Rondo said that
28:08
Speaker 2: he wasn't getting enough playing time, so they'll talk and
28:12
Speaker 2: coach Lebron put him.
28:13
Speaker 3: In more so, if it was not broke, don't fix it. Ben.
28:16
Speaker 3: I know you got a number of calls. Hey, listen,
28:18
Speaker 3: I'm for all of it. Seven games series across the
28:20
Speaker 3: board in the first round. Give the people what they
28:22
Speaker 3: want to see. At the end of the day that
28:24
Speaker 3: I am favoring Edwards and the Timberwolves, but respect to Luca
28:27
Speaker 3: and Lebron were putting up a good fight.
28:28
Speaker 1: Fritt, Yes, I'll be here all week.
28:31
Speaker 2: Try the roast beef. We'll be here all week. Very
28:35
Speaker 2: very exciting. So we did this thing a couple of
28:38
Speaker 2: weeks ago, maybe was a couple of weeks ago. It
28:41
Speaker 2: was a pro bouncy ball injury Bengo.
28:44
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that game for the playoffs.
28:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm going back to look at my big
28:49
Speaker 2: board here because I think this guy was picked although.
28:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah he was yeah, yeah he was picked him?
28:56
Speaker 1: Who picked him? Oh, I haven't even told the story yet.
28:58
Speaker 2: So the Celtics Jayson Tatum, Hem, we came down in
29:02
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter against Orlando in Game one. He fell
29:05
Speaker 2: allow his risk there and the X rays were negative.
29:09
Speaker 2: And but now they've announced the Celtics announced Tatum's got
29:13
Speaker 2: a bone bruise and oh my god, they might have
29:17
Speaker 2: to amputate bone bruise in his wrist. And as the
29:23
Speaker 2: Celtics get ready to finally play Game two versus the
29:25
Speaker 2: Orlando Magic, Jason Tatum is listed as doubtful. So we
29:31
Speaker 2: are looking at the first points to be scored in
29:35
Speaker 2: pro bouncy ball injury bingo for the playoffs here, And
29:39
Speaker 2: it went back to the scorecard here to check out
29:42
Speaker 2: and see, well, who had Jason Tatum and who's looking
29:45
Speaker 2: like they're gonna get our first points?
29:47
Speaker 1: And was it me? Was it me? That it was not?
29:52
Speaker 2: It was not man Well and Guardena that would be
29:54
Speaker 2: Chris in the Commonwealth. So, and the only reason it
29:58
Speaker 2: was Chris and the conwell of is this because I
29:59
Speaker 2: think he ran out of players to name and he
30:01
Speaker 2: just started naming guys on the Celtics. I think he
30:05
Speaker 2: just he couldn't think of any other NBA players. I
30:07
Speaker 2: think most of who he picked were like Celtic players,
30:10
Speaker 2: maybe one guy from Orland, but I don't have it
30:12
Speaker 2: in from of it.
30:12
Speaker 1: But he did pick Jason Tatum. So Chris and the Commonwealth.
30:16
Speaker 2: Uh, it's gotta be an odd position because he wants
30:18
Speaker 2: the Celtics to win.
30:20
Speaker 1: But he picked them for his injury list. Yeah, that
30:23
Speaker 1: makes sense.
30:24
Speaker 2: So if Tatum misses the game, like the greatest scenario
30:26
Speaker 2: would be Tatum misses the game and the Celtics.
30:28
Speaker 1: End up winning, and then that's like a win win.
30:30
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike, who's in LA.

30:50
Speaker 6: Mike, Hey Mallards, did you want did you see that
30:53
Speaker 6: defensive clinic my lag show put on tonight? That was
30:56
Speaker 6: a defensive masterpiece and the offense was slow and didn't
31:00
Speaker 6: even need to be pretty. Because what the Lakers can
31:02
Speaker 6: do is they show they can put down a lockdown defense.
31:05
Speaker 6: And give credit to them t Wolves. They do got
31:07
Speaker 6: a man who's uh a damn elite talent. But you
31:12
Speaker 6: saw how did and Luca just put some Minnesota and
31:14
Speaker 6: blender and see we're gonna win the series in six.
31:17
Speaker 6: So I give respect to the t Walls. They're a
31:19
Speaker 6: damn good team and they did make it to the
31:21
Speaker 6: Western Conference final last year. But the Lakers are just
31:23
Speaker 6: another level. So what they did is they got the
31:26
Speaker 6: West game. Everybody's turnick mode, all the funnes's like, you
31:29
Speaker 6: were ready to bear the team. What do they do?
31:31
Speaker 6: They went back to the lab on their days off,
31:34
Speaker 6: they went to practice, and what they do they played lockdown,
31:37
Speaker 6: shut them down.
31:38
Speaker 4: See what's's gonna.
31:39
Speaker 6: Happen is they're gonna go to Minnesota. They're gonna let
31:41
Speaker 6: a man get and Luca is gonna put the old
31:46
Speaker 6: little Frenchmen. The little Frenchman in a and he always
31:48
Speaker 6: does embarrass his ass off the court. Lakers are gonna
31:51
Speaker 6: win the series in six. And I'm not even worried
31:53
Speaker 6: about this, but you and your your clippers, they give
31:56
Speaker 6: them credit. The Claw played a hell of a game
31:58
Speaker 6: last night, but if he lastes series, I still.
32:01
Speaker 1: Think that win this series.
32:03
Speaker 6: I had him winning six, so I think they're going
32:05
Speaker 6: to get the road split and win the next two.
32:06
Speaker 1: All right, I have a question.
32:08
Speaker 4: Listen again.
32:09
Speaker 1: I have a question.
32:11
Speaker 6: You're going to be a first round exit.
32:13
Speaker 1: I got a question.
32:14
Speaker 2: When's your Netflix comedy special? Do we know what date
32:17
Speaker 2: that is? I want to I want to make sure
32:18
Speaker 2: I stream that. When's your comedy show?
32:20
Speaker 6: Right after? Right after Years and Chappelle's It's coming? But
32:23
Speaker 6: here is going to be the.
32:26
Speaker 2: Back Life back So just for the again, for the record,
32:29
Speaker 2: this is this is an example of why why.
32:32
Speaker 1: People are hoping the Lakers lose.
32:34
Speaker 2: This is Mike in La is an example of why
32:37
Speaker 2: America would like to see the Lakers lose.
32:39
Speaker 1: This is this is on brand.
32:41
Speaker 2: So the Lakers, who were outscored the final three quarters,
32:44
