  Speaker 3: five to one thirteen, and we are going back to Minneapolis.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: They pushed to a game six Nuggets win, and uh,
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: look they're favored now to win this series given the
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: injuries dealt with by Minnesota. But I think last night
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: was all about an attitude adjustment. And I know that
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: maybe some of the guys on the Nuggets or coaches
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: or whoever don't want to talk about that aspect of it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: But there's one guy who did, and that was Jonas Valancionas.
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: After the game, you, honest, how did you try to
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: inject physicality into this game? From the moment you checked in?
• 2:16
  Speaker 8: Just being physical? You know, just you know, sitting on screens, rolling,
• 2:22
  Speaker 8: you know, not aiding, not avoiding contact, that's how you
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: be showing the contact.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: It seemed like you guys got called for quite a
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: few illegal screens in this game. Were you okay with that,
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: knowing that it injected physicality into it?
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: I'm okay as long as coaches coaches coaches are okay,
• 2:42
  Speaker 8: I'm okay. You know that's my job. I gotta set
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: a tone. I gotta you know, be physical sometimes you
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: take offensive FLEs defensive falls. So it's is what it is.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So as long as the softies from Minnesota are listening,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and I know you are appreciate you up there, I'm
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: gonna ask you guys a series of questions about what
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: we said yesterday and what you saw last night. Did
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we call for more physicality or the used the word
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I used repercussions. Did we call for that, of course
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: on this show? Did you see it out of the nuggets?
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, what were we calling for?
• 3:17
  Speaker 9: What?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: What the words?
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Whatever?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: You want to imagine in your head people thinking, oh
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you're promoting violence. No, no, No, what I specific specifically
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: was calling for.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Is exactly what you saw last night.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: That was it. Yep, that was it. They said it,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: they did it, they won, that's it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: And I think again, I think that changes a lot
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: of how they play, because remember it was about missing shots.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: In games three and four two they missed a lot
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: uncharacteristically missing shots, open shots.
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: But I think when you set a tone like that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: Valancionas went on to say that I'll pull up the
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: exact quote, but he in talking about the physicality, he said,
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: we dictated the rules, that's it. Instead of reacting to
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: the physicality, set the tone of physicality, and I think
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: when you do that, it breeds confidence, which yes, can
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: in turn help you make shots because you're playing with
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: a confidence.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And after game one, games two through four they dictated
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the rules. Yeah, they set the tone. They were the aggressors.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And it started with McDaniel's mouth, right, It started with
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: his mouth, and then it ended last night the momentum
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of are It ended with him getting jostled around a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: little bit. Nobody got hurt. There were no cheap shots.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something about cheap shots. And you
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Minnesota people are so selective about what's right and what's not.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: When he grabbed Nikolo Yokic's neck last night, you guys
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: saw that way, right. What's more dangerous that or hard
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: pick set by Christian Brown? I mean what, he's the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: only one allowed to do it, but because he's skinny
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: he can get away with it. Is that how this works,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: And again I think that that's what you had to do.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: You had to do that in game three, to be honest.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: I hate that they waited until game five to do it,
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: but they finally got there. About Jade McDaniels, He's somebody
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: I'd love to have on my team, like I love
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: somebody who plays that way.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: And we said it all yesterday. You gave me if
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you offered a trade right now, I would Are you
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: kidding me? I'd lock my chops. That dude brings exactly
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: what every team needs we want. We run a promotion
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: on this radio show and it's funny because I heard
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it yesterday where I'm saying, it's not a promotion. What
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: do you call those little drops that we run during
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the course of the day, spotbuster, Spopbuster, And I said,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: every great team needs a crazy person. Yeah, and that's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: exactly what it is. I would love him on this team.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: The tone of the conversation yesterday that created us being
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: the most hated radio show in all of Minnesota. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: here's what's funny, and that what they didn't understand. It
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: was kind of an.
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: A roundabout way, a compliment to Jaden McDaniels.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And a referendum on the Nuggets.
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: Correct, it was us talking about the Nuggets aren't doing
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: what they're supposed to be doing. Jaden McDaniels is That's.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: What I said to all the Minnesota pepes. And this
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: is the last time. I'll say it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: I guess until we get to round two.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: You know what's hail well.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Big big Vic. This was about the Nuggets. This was
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: about the Denver Nuggets and what they needed to do
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: to engage themselves in a series they were getting worked over.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: It not about you many, not about your guy. It's
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: not all about you. It's about the Nuggets and that's
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: that's it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: And it's truly an honor to lead to the news
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: cycle in Minnesota if that's what you need. But whatever.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: The thing that bothers me most, and the reason I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: was so upset about this is that in this business, Moser,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You've been around the media business like I have a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: long time, and the era of right down the middle
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: is gone. It's gone. Everybody has their biases, everybody in
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: this business, no matter where you work. You can claim
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you're unbiased, but it's not true. Folks in Minnesota that
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: cover the t Wolves, guess what business is good when
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the t Wolves win? Right, and especially a lot of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: these cottage industries where you need them to be good
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: for your business to be good. Same with us, works
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: both ways. When the Nuggets win, business is good, so
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: automatically you've invested part of you in the success of
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that team, you're going to be biased. What I don't
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: like is when some of these people and people I
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: respect too, writers, especially some of the writers are the worst.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: They claim to be unbiased and write down the middle
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: just covering the team, and they're the.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Worst at it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Deep down, you're the most biased people out there.
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: I mean, I'm biased as hell, so am I.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: By the way, the difference is we openly admit it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Try to get them to admit it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: But yeah, we never said that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 9: Here's the second party, Jonas.
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: We played our game and we dictated the rules from
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: the start. We took over and you know, we were
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: playing good, you know, making shots. Everybody stepped up. You know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: that's how we need to play.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: First of all, I've just seen too many movies. That
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: voice puts immediate fear into me. That accent in that
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: voice is an immediate scare.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: In our pregame show, Katie interviewed one of the Nuggets
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: assistant and he made the claim, Listen, we're gonna go
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: out of our way to set picks and in the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: process they're probably gonna call some illegal picks because they're
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: just but they want to counter what they're seeing from Minnesota,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: where the Nuggets believe Rudy is setting some illegal picks,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: but he's established it, so they're letting it go. What
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets tried to do last night was establish it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: At some point, you'll stop blowing the whistle.
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: Texta says this, We kind of talked about it earlier.
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: Won't it be amazing if the Avs end up playing
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: them in so wild next round?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, it will be nuts, It will be nuts.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: But again, I don't want to hear this holier than thou.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: You guys are so biased. What do you think you are?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: What do you think you are? The slants you put
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: on your stories, your podcast your shows, what do you
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: think that is? We're all feeding our families. I know
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: how this works. Been around a long time. I know
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: how this works.
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: Somebody says that I'm biased. My response is, and.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Well, you never claim to be a quote journalist. You're not.
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: I'm not a journalist, you're a deal whole with a microphone.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's the journalists who call themselves journalists then
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: already even there, the biases is they're extreme at times.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: We've said this all along the way, and I will
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: continue to say it. Hey, we talked to Jared Bednar
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: every week. I'm biased. I like Jared, Yes, one hundred percent.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: So somebody covering a certain team in a certain city
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: right that may and they cover it that team every day,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: what do you think where do you think that that
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: person is going to lean?
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, wins or losses. I only strive to be fair
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: and honest. That's all.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: It's all I've ever told people. But I have a
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: ton of biases, and I will tell you when they
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: come to fruition now.
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: I am also biased to playing your guys off the bench.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: I have a huge bias towards that because I think
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: it's important. You've built your team. You changed the fabric
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: of your makeup of this team to put a boost
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: of depth in this lineup that has not existed really ever.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: Even when the Nuggets won the championship, they didn't have
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: a lot of depth on that correct You spent your
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: entire offseason trying to do that. You changed the GM
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: strategy by putting new guys in there. You changed the
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: core of your team by tradingway Michael Porter Junior.
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: In the first four games of this series. I just
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: didn't see it, and I was confused as.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: To why last night you played Valentunis, you played Tias Jones.
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: You gave Julian Strather some early run and that's in
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: a game where both Peyton Watson and ag are out.
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: I do think that matters.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: Now, It wasn't like they were playing very intense basketball
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: at the end of the game because they had a lead.
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: But we noticed it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: The Nuggets looked tired at the end of games at times,
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: and I think that's part of the reason for it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Well, they also had a guy last night. Go with
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: the two big guns, Vick. You talked about it earlier,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: they had a third guy, which is typically Aaron Gordon
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: or it could have been MPJ in the past.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: So on, they had a third guy.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Go I'm following the production and the growth of Spencer
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Jones with great, great fervor. You're talking about an undrafted guy, Vic,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: less than two years ago. He was an undrafted guy
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: coming out of Stanford, a guy who this season was
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: on a two way to start the year. Was he
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: I think he was?
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Was he not?
• 11:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah? Was two guys?
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: So then here you are in a must win game,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: lose and go home type of situation. And he comes
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: up with a performance like that. Are we now watching
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: the growth and the quote next guy for the Denver
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Nuggets because guys, listen, guys.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Have to emerge and be players.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: I know we've all been waiting forever for the Pickets
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: of the world and Strawther's of the world.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: And I mean, I can go on and on.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Before the zekes of the war, somebody's got to emerge
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: and actually become a player, a contributor, and not only that,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: but maybe a better player than you thought he was
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: going to be. Well, what I saw last night out
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: of Spencer Jones and I loved his interview with cost
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: and Scotti. By the way, Vic, this is this is
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: big time stuff for the Nuggets.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Huote.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: What I love about Spencer Jones and this was that
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I was a little worried about this last night because
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: now the Nuggets are you know, you can't miss, there's
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: no going back. I mean, you grip the stick a
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: little bit. We see it in hockey, that's the term.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: And in basketball shooting becomes an issue when you're afraid
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: because this is it. You can't lose. And I wondered
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: last night would they be that way? And I love
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: it when a Spencer Jones comes out and says, I'll
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: shoot it. I don't care sure, I'll shoot it. You
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: want me to shoot? I got it, Let me shoot.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I got you.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: What does he have to lose?
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that mentality is so necessary in these kind
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: of games. And if you think it was tough last night,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: think about what it's going to be like Thursday night
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: in that environment. Who's gonna be that guy who's gonna
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: shoot it no matter what because you have to. We
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: have begged and pleaded, Hey, Cam shoot more. He did
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: last night and.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Look look at the result. Just look at it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: By the way, you said the most appropriate thing to
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: begin the program. You know how I know the Nuggets
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: were good last night because Joke read sixteen times. Yeah,
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: That's how I know they were good. Because other guys
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: were actually shooting and men making.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, shooting is one thing, making is another. When Nicolai
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Jokich has double digit assists and Nuggets win, it's as
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: simple as that. It's just as simple as that.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: You know, for most teams, they're big guy, their superstar,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: their MVP. Oh man, if he gets forty two, we're
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: gonna win. Notbda Joker's gonna be there in the mid
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: upper twenties. But if he gets double digit assists or
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: mid teens assists, the Nuggets are gonna win games.
• 14:26

  Speaker 6: That guys tonight all right, Uh, the Nuggets continue in
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: this series just after a game five win. Question, is
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: you know there was a feeling that you had after
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Game four where it's just like, gosh, it was a
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: very doom and gloom sort of feeling. You lost three straight.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: But now with eight Anthony Edwards and Dante DiVincenzo out
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: for the rest of this series. Isn't there some prevailing
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: feeling that you're like, you, you should win this now,
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: you should win the last two games.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you have no room for error. And this
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: is the NBA. They still have length, they still have
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: very dangerous players, and there's no doubt about it.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: That you have to be perfect.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: You have to be perfect and you can't. Man, last
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: night when they cut it to ten late, what were
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you guys thinking when Minnesota stormed back?
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: I didn't.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: I didn't feel bad at all. I think I'm gonna
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: be perfectly.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: Honest with you, was like, what six minutes to go
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: something like that? I didn't. I wasn't worried at all.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: I don't know why. I just wasn't worried.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: You have no room for era. That's that's the tough part. Interestingly,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets are six and a half point favorites Thursday night.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: Already they were.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were eleven and a half last night they
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: won by twelve. They're six and a half point favorites.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: If they win Thursday night, they will be overwhelming favorites
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Saturday in Game seven. So at this rate, down three
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: games to two, the Nuggets are favored to win this series.
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah, minus one sixty five.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Their favored to win this series. Want to I want
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to talk about something very quickly. Two things. Number one,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I think coaches both sides need to learn something from
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: what we've seen so far. Don't waste your challenges early
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: in the game. It's so bad when you do that.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I think it's three games in a row now where
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Minnesota has lost its challenge in the first half.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: I think I would make one except to if one
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: of your big players has got like this third foul
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: then and you don't think it's a foul, then do that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: But yeah, for the most.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: But that was on McDaniel's second foul call, right and
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: they lost the CHAM two is whatever.
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: I think Jokic actually said that last night.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: So when you lose your challenge that early, tell me
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: if you're watching the game like I watch it, Huh.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Could use your challenge there, could use your challenge there.
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And I think what happens is later games when you
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: lose your challenge, when you exhausted and the crowd gets
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: fired up and human reaction becomes part. You know, the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: referees are human too. The challenge is more powerful the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: later you go on Yeah, for sure. Don't waste your challenge.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Don't do it.
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: Did I have this right?
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: Am I making this up? So they challenged that and
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: the challenge it was one of those like the challenge
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: was successful, but it was still a foul on Minnesota,
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: just a foul on somebody else.
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: Is that what happened?
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: No, they lost the challenge. It was a foul on.
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: I must have been last game.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the previous game. No, they lost the challenge.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: They lost the inability to challenge another play, and they
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: could have used it because there were several suspect calls.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: You could say that about both teams. That's number one.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: My second point is the national broadcast and everybody's talking
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: about what Minnesota is missing, and rightfully so. You're without
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: your starting back court, You're without a superstar like Anthony Edwards.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: You're without Dante DiVincenzo, who leads this series in plus minus.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: He's been brilliant. That's a big, big loss, a big
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: void for Minnesota to fill. But I'm tired of people
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: diminishing what the Nuggets have lost, because the Nuggets, perhaps
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the most valuable player for the Nuggets in this series,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: in this scrappy Athletic series is their biggest, baddest fleet,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: and that is Aaron Gordon. Aaron Gordon, yep. And when
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: you don't have Aaron Gordon at one hundred percent, and
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: he wasn't at any point in this series, when you
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: don't have him, that is a loss that is so
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: compounded in this series that is such a big deal.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: You will have no replacement for him. There is no
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: one that can do what he does.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: What can they do to fix him right now? Something?
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure there's anything.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's so many machines nowadays.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: You ever seen guys with all those electrodes, those electronics
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: and the you know, all the stuff that goes on.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: They put it on their body and it does stuff
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: to your thing.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: You can't fix a string muscle. I just can't. You
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: just can't do it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: Just does do your thing.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Whatever that what you get at Rocky Mountins make clinic.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: So she gives Moucky runs clinics.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Hey man, what I'm saying is that they've got these
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: they've got these dode ads that you know they send
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: voltage and stuff. Of the thing is that noet just
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: needs to do the thing with the stuff. But listen,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: they've got these electrodes and prog. It goes into things
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: and then you stimulate all this.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Clear your mind, yes, stamp, clear your mind. You have
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: to go into these final two games. You're not gonna
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: have Aaron Gordon.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: That sucks you just it sucks.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Well, let's I'm without him, Vic, Look, man, you're you're
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: you're all things considered, even without a G and P.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Watt And I don't know what Peyton Wattons Watson's story is.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: I don't know what that hamstring is doing or not doing.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: I want to.
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: Dude, my man. What was his name? I don't know,
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: my man.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: But know what the point is, even with the guys
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: who are out of the lineup, you're still the better
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: basketball team Minnesota. The Targets is it still the Target
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Center or is it some smoothie joint or something?
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: What is it now?
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Vic Targets.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, you're gonna go in there and tomorrow night and
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: it's going to be insane.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: It's going to be a madhouse tomorrow night.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I know that Nugget's not everybody knows that, which are
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: still the better damn basketball team, go win.
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: This is what I said about AG.
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: If AG's gonna go out there and try and get
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: through the game, do not play AG. If he's gonna
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: go out there and play, then you play AG. And
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: there's a difference. Getting through the game is like, can
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: I just survive the twenty five minutes I'm gonna play tonight?
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: I don't want that. If you can go out there
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: and be effective, then go out there and play.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: But I don't see any scenario in which he's gonna
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: go out there and be himself in the place.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: You can understand why his The void that he leaves
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: is a bigger void than most players on this team
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: outside the Joker.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Sure it really is because of what he can do.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Is because of.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: The team they're playing right correct, because of the team
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: they're playing correct, possibly the most athletic team in the tournament,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: length athleticism, ron they got it all, They got it all,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: And you lose your best that and you're deficient in
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: that cat in that area, that's a big void. The
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Nuggets need to find other ways, and last night they
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: did what they did last night, twenty five turnovers by
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Minnesota sixteen steals for the Nuggets. They scrapped. They got
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: on the ground, Jamal getting on the ground the only way.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: Texter says if the Nuggets advanced, will pe Watt play
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: in the next series. I'm just gonna assume that Pewat's
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: never playing.
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: For the I don't know. I have no idea. I
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: haven't heard. I haven't heard a murmur that he's even
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: remotely close.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: So even if he does, what can you expect someone
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: he's played five games in three months. Yeah, it's gonna
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: be hard to get back on track.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: Speaking of Peyton, we have a Peyton that's waiting on
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: the phone lines here. Let's go ahead and hear it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Payton, Hey, what's.
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: Up, guys. Good to chat with you.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: That's good.
• 22:54
  Speaker 10: I love being in the playoffs here, these t pups,
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: I don't care if they have guys injured, that's on them,
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: you know what I mean. And at this point, if
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: these little baby Minnesota fans want to keep crying about everything,
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: I hope they continue to cry and complain that they
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: didn't have their guys to win the series. I have
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: total confidence in our team to win out, but we
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: need to just keep putting it on. But the last
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: thing I want to hear is that they don't have
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: their guys. That's not our fault.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean sure, there is a certain aspect to
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: this to where I mean, there's a reality the Minnesota
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: Timberwolves without Anthony Edwards and Dante DiVincenzo. They came into
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: this series on paper, I think the Nuggets were more
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: talented on paper. Now it didn't play out that way
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: in the first four games. You not only are better
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: than them on paper, now you are far superior to
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: them on paper. Like, they don't have anybody that's even
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: remotely in the stratosphere of Jamal Murray or Nicola Jokic
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: on the floor right now. Julius randlds the closest they got.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: And Randold's a decent player. He's fine, he's good, but
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: he's not bad. You have the top two with a bullet.
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: In this series now, and it's about winning two games
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: in a row.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: But the way, though you said top two, the reason
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets won last night not necessarily because of their
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: top two. They won because Cam Johnson and Spencer Jones
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: made shots.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: Three and four. Correct, was pretty good?
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Like I understand, Yeah, but the joke. I understand he's
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: always pretty good, but he's good because he hasn't been
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I'm okay, fine, but but I because he wasn't all
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: relied upon to do it all. Yes, he actually got
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: assists because people made shots.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: Hey, Vic, what time is that game supposed to tip
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: off tomorrow night?
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Six seven or seven thirty Thursday?
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Because everything?
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: Sorry, is that central time? So now they're they're going
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: to kick it back and out? Yeah, what's today Tuesday?
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Why do we keep thinking today's Wednesday?
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: Because you don't have your other job anymore.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: See, my days were all jacked him. Every everything is
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: totally jack You.
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: Don't have to worry about when's the next Staves game?
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Right now, it's away wins, a meeting, getting to skate.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: I like going to skate. I like meetings. I wish
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: we were still calling these games.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: That's me okay, Thursday, because all I see is a
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: lot of tvds, Oh, Celtics and and six Ers, TVD
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Nickson Hawks, TVD Spurs and Blazers.

  Speaker 1: every single one of you is biased, just like we are.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I just make it known secret here. Hey, that's the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: different holdlier than now.
• 26:27

  Speaker 5: Com or whatever? You know what I mean.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I'll send it to you and you be the judge.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: You can read it. It comes from a site called
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: bro Bible by God. At the end of T Wolves
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: kick Ass at the end of the day, I don't care.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: My message today isn't that I don't care if they
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: want to, you know, make me the post. The message
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: today is I want everybody out there to understand that
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: this is in this business man, there is no such
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: thing as right down the middle. When you're covering a team,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: because you're you're you're passionate about that team that you
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: cover every day, Eventually it gets to you and you're
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: pulling for that team. No matter what people think or
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: say you are, you make relationships, you meet people, you
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: need those people for your job.
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: I just want you guys to understand something.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: I'll say that who is the dude they called out
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: craikman Lyndall earlier this week, or Dane Moore, Dane Moore,
• 28:17

• 28:23
  Speaker 6: want you to hear me. I will take that as
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: a massive compliment. I've strived my whole life to people
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: call me that. That's what I want to be known as.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: So just know you're trying to insult me.
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: You can't. I am literally too stupid to insult. Who
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: is that guy? He's just he's a dude. Whatever. He
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: does the same thing we do. He talks track, but
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: he's serious about it, serious about it. Three h three
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: five four oh serious.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Actually regarding that, I I I regret it should never
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: be personal, and I regret it should never be personal.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: It's just we're all doing our jobs and we all
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: do it different ways. It should never be personal. It's
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: not it's not that important.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: It's made it personal.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: Just real quick here, that late game thing between Yo
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: kitchen that whoever the bench guy was from Minnesota, like
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: to take the ball, take the ball back, jump ball thing.
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: Yokich was asked about that.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: He said, this nikolves up with the jump ball in
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: the final minute, where you're just trying to steal a
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: couple of seconds or.
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: Nast question.
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: I've never heard Yoki drop a next question before.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I think he didn't want to explain it because I
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: think the announcer you stop explaining. He's trying to reset
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the shot clock in the game, right, the shot clock
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: in the game.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: He didn't even but he didn't even try in the
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: jump ball, he'd even jump, he didn't move.
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: I'll just say.
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: I I thought that was a little silly. It's like,
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: just hand the ball over, the game's over.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: But everybody, do you think his intent was the same
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: intent McDaniel's head at the end of his game.
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: He didn't try and score, but it was just I
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: don't know.
• 30:09

• 32:54
  Speaker 4: you were late to the program, right, I know you
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: were rustling around for like ten minutes before you actually
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: got on the show, you looked I don't even know
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: how to tell you, like you slept under an elephant.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like it right now.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: You're gonna get this napsky today, but you you've recovered
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: quite nicely.
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna pay you something that sounds like a compliment.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Do not dare pay me a compliment.
• 33:17
  Speaker 9: You look the same, look the same as you always
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: looked at me.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: The greatest line Redcine has ever produced on the show
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: is when I said I think I'm going through a
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: midlife crisis and you said.
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: I think it's adorable that you think you're midlife.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: You know the worst thing about this whole this whole
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: week is being called Every Minnesota fan has called me
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: old man. I know I saw that that man, man,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I try hard to work out.
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: I mean, you need to paint the roof again.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Show up again with a painted roof. Paint that roof, man,
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: go it's full clooney, full clooney vic.
• 33:54
  Speaker 11: I know it was a joke, but you replied to
• 33:56
  Speaker 11: some of them and said, hey, I know Minnesota. I've
• 33:58
  Speaker 11: spent so much time at the clinic, and I know
• 34:01
  Speaker 11: Rochester like the back of.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: My hand, walking corpses over there.
• 34:04
  Speaker 11: If you want to disprove being old, I wouldn't lead
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: with I've spent so much time at the Mayo clinics.
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: That doesn't really help your kid. You know what's great victory?
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: You should have gone to your old one, which is
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: when somebody calls you old, you want to run.
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: Lookout, you old?
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I really am one run lookout. Well, I don't know
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: if that works anymore. Anytime I run now, I.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: Pull a muscle.
• 34:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: I never thought that somehow getting in a fight vig
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: getting in a fight with the entire state of Minnesota
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: would lead to the elephant insemination discussion with some but
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: here we.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Are, got but here we are.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate you, know, I appreciate you guys getting
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: my back and and and I said this, I think
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: you guys know how how I roll. I think teams
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: when when you play for a team, and team sports
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: are so important. All of you parents out there put
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: your kid in a team sport, whether they want to
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: do it or not, some team activity, because I think
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: the value of the team, that chain, that link, it's
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: so important in life. And for me, a team you
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: back each other man, you just do it, all right,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: you back each other up. And I think I've done
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: that here. You guys have backed me up. And the
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Nuggets suddenly are doing that. And we've talked about it
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: this season. If Joker gets attacked, who's going to back
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: them up? Who's gonna go out there and do something
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: about it? Why does it have to be Joker that
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: approaches Jaden McDaniels. Why can't some And unless not, it
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: was somebody else. It was Christian Brown, it was Big Val,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: it was Jamal they all did it. See the difference.
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: Nobody calls my boy a britled haired pansy.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: But do you see that this is now? Now you're
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: a team now. And what Jade McDaniels so wonderfully did,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: and why. I think a player like that is so valuable.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Every player needs a guy like that. He did that
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: for Minnesota in games two through four. He did that.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: He he became the molder of the team.
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: I agree.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Connor says Minnesota hates me and Vic Now, yeah, well,
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: Minnesota hates I think me, Connor.
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: I'm sure Ker's hair Dallas hates us.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was it was Connor who drew the ire
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: of Philadelphia. Now, for some god forsaken reason, the Flyers
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: can make it to a Stanley Cup final, and the
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Abs are fortunate enough themselves to get there. It's gonna
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: be on for Connor from Philly. Yeah, Flyers fans were
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: all over his bacon.
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: I'll say this, by the way.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: Something else that I'm gonna be tuning in for tonight
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: four forty is the Rockies. They opened that series on
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: the road at Cincinnati. Cincinnati is there.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: That's a good start.
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: They're eighteen and ten.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: I want to see after the Rocks, you know, get
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: a sweep win three in a row, can you continue
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: that sort of stuff against a good team again?
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: Thanks my Kidd.
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: His last two.
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: Games that they played, or the last two series that
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: they played against good teams. It was Dodgers and the Padres,
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: and they split with the Dodgers and they went one
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: and two against San Diego.
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: I want to see them continue this momentum. Look, I'll
• 36:58
  Speaker 9: say it now, guy.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: We're almost in May, and I I don't need to
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: step back from this take.
• 37:05
  Speaker 9: The Rockies are a fun baseball team. They are. They're
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: a fun tingh what do you mean ish?
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Fun ish?
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Hey, dude, they're near can you believe?
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: But can you be below five hundred and be fun?
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: I guess you can't.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I guess We've talked about this, and I want to
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: reset this, this mentality, the ride back up that the
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Rockies are on right now, when you're climbing, when when
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: you've been so bad and then all of a sudden
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: you see moments of oh my god, there's a pulse
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: that ride. As a sports fan, there's nothing better, like
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: you're getting better the Nuggets. On the other hand, when
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: you've seen the mountain top and you've had moments of
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: what is happening here? That's the worst for a fan,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Like the near crumble of an empire. That's the worst.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: And you felt it. We've we've all felt that this season.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: So I agree with Powder here. They may not be
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: world beaters the Rockies, they may not be a playoff team.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: They're competitive.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: They're competitive.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: So you're saying the expansion in the rise of the
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Roman Empire, going all the way to England and whatnot,
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: that was much more fun than the crumbling of the
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: Roman Empire.
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: But if if you have like a football team who
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: was drafting first overall and they win nine games and
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: missed the playoffs. Next year eight games and missed the playoffs,
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: that's a big improvement.
• 38:32
  Speaker 9: That's fun to watch.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I'll give you another example. So how much fun has
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: watching the Broncos grow the last couple of seasons. It's
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: been fun.
• 38:39
  Speaker 9: It's been pretty fun.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Guess what next season? The pressure, the expectations.
• 38:44
  Speaker 9: Well that's the thing.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, the happy how many times you're gone?
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: Now one seed time, baby, now.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: You need it.
• 38:52
  Speaker 9: But uh most here's the thing this way. Don't get
• 38:55
  Speaker 9: I don't get your stance on this. They're your kind
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: of teams.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: I know, he still bases. I don't have a stance yet.
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: I'm still building my stance. I'm I'll watch just like
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: you will.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, I'm still building my stance, beating up, beating up
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: on the crap hole Mets to get three games below
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: five hundred, it doesn't mean.
• 39:17
  Speaker 9: They split a series against the Dodgers last week. I
• 39:20
  Speaker 9: love that.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, when the Dodgers get a baseball, No, they stuck,
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: they stink.
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: Of course they are.
• 39:27
  Speaker 9: Saying, shut your hole.
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to shut my hole, Ollie.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Now, d you have it on your board or what
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: in McDaniels. And again at the end of the series,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: when it's done either way, win or lose. I'm gonna
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: give Jade McDaniels a ton of credit for being the centerpiece,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: the talking point, the heartbeat of his own higher series.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: And he's owned it and he's never shied away. You know,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: you give this kid full credit. He has been He
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: was booed, he was vilified, he was mugged, he was
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: hit hard. Last night, the moment the game ended, he
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: got up there and he talked about it. He didn't
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: hide from the media, he didn't leave, and he didn't
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: exit stage left. He went right into that interview room
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: and talked about it. Props to you, my man. Let's
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: hear what he had to say last night. Yeah, I
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: love this environment. Everyone hate me, all the hates coming
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: towards me.
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: I love it. I mean, I don't care if I
• 40:14
  Speaker 9: feed into it.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Like I said earlier, it just brings the best out
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: of me.
• 40:18
  Speaker 9: And we just kind of we just end up losing today,
• 40:20
  Speaker 9: but we're gonna win the next one. He did say.
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: We're gonna win the next one, is what he said.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: And I think that they all kind of know if
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: they don't win Game six and they got to come
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: back here for.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: The game, incredibly difficult for them.
• 40:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's gonna be really they.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: They're going to that building is gonna be insane, and
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: they are going to lay it on the line. You
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: know they are, because if they lose Game six and
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: they have to come back to Denver, they're gonna be
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: in a world of hurt.
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: I get I again. I give him total credit. I
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: do too, Like he has owned the role of villain
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: and he.
• 40:55
  Speaker 9: Leans into it.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: And last night there were a couple of day different
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: moments where it's like he got into it with Valle,
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: he got into it with Joker, like I got respect
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: for somebody. If you're gonna talk the trash like that,
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: you gotta be able to back it up.
• 41:09
  Speaker 9: It's the same thing.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: I kind of feel like, uh, Draymond Green. Draymond Green
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: plays the villain, but he does not shy away.
• 41:15
  Speaker 9: From being that.
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: He loves being that all get ejected from the playing
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: game with a minute left because I want to get
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: into it with Devin Booker and then tell the crowd,
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: go ahead, give me your worst.
• 41:28
  Speaker 9: Three oh three, five, four, nine two five.
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: So again, got a couple days here before we get
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: to game six going for the Nuggets. We still await
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: whoever is gonna come out of this Minnesota in Dallas series.
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: Game five of that is tonight at six o'clock in
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: moj Let me ask you again.
• 41:45
  Speaker 9: Who do you want? Who do you want to win tonight?
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: Take a three to two lead, have the driver's seat
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: now now, Mini, because you think Dallas is gonna win
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: six or what?
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: I you know? I honestly I don't know. Bright.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, they're gonna be in Dallas tonight. Okay, Look,
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: I just think that I'm looking at the Centerman for
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: the Avs. I just think that, God, Minnesota's got some
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: really damn good players. Though I may really good players,
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: Quinny Hughes is so damn good. Favors good. Goldie's a
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: stud caprice off. We know their young goalies playing his
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: butt off. Yeah, six to one way, half dozen the other.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: Just have it go seven, Have it go seven.
• 42:27
  Speaker 9: I tell you this, the one thing that do I want?
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: Do I want this blogger nerd on my case?
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: Or do I want basement dwellers, screamy guy eating cheetos
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: on my case?
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: Who do I want on my case? More?
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: The one thing that I would say really plays into
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: and they're both really good at this, so I mean, again,
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: take what you want. I fear, even though they finished
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: two and three in power play percentage this year, I
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: fear Dallas's power playing more than I fear Minnesota's. And
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: if there's one thing I would say that I would
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: pick a knit at in that first round for the
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: Avs because there wasn't a lot. Yes, their power play
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: wasn't great, but more than that, Moje, they went to
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: the box a lot in that series against La. They
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: gave LA a whole bunch of power play opportunities that
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: I think they weren't capable of.
• 43:19
