- 0:31Speaker 3: Hi, Jeff, morning fellows, Hey Jeff more.
- 0:35Speaker 4: On a scale of one too deeply offended, how offended
- 0:38Speaker 4: were you upon knowledge I yesterday ripped sports writers for
- 0:42Speaker 4: being holier than now in a lot of different forms
- 0:45Speaker 4: and a lot of different reasons. Were you offended by
- 0:47Speaker 4: my comments?
- 0:49Speaker 5: I was at a zero on the offensive scale.
- 0:52Speaker 4: Because you know what I'm saying.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Because you shouldn't be offended, Jeff, because you're not one.
- 0:55Speaker 6: I was unbothered because Vic and I have had that
- 0:58Speaker 6: conversation face to face me he Beck tells me what
- 1:02Speaker 6: I'm boring, and so I'm always ready for Oh.
- 1:04Speaker 4: It's not about being boring. I don't mind boring. I
- 1:07Speaker 4: mean I mean talking down to which silty of all
- 1:11Speaker 4: the time. But you know, the sports writers do it
- 1:14Speaker 4: better than anybody, not all of them, not all of them.
- 1:17Speaker 6: Some of that was that was before we all had
- 1:20Speaker 6: to go on TV to survive. Back in the day,
- 1:23Speaker 6: you could be sanctimonious about it all.
- 1:26Speaker 4: But Jeff did that stories was that was that all
- 1:30Speaker 4: the big sports riders of the forties and fifties, who
- 1:33Speaker 4: got all the stories.
- 1:34Speaker 3: And you know, if you didn't read you know, Jim
- 1:36Speaker 3: Smith and the New York Times, you know, you didn't
- 1:39Speaker 3: get the story when did all of this? And no
- 1:41Speaker 3: offense to writers, because some are really really great. But
- 1:45Speaker 3: some men they just they think that they are like
- 1:47Speaker 3: the gatekeepers to all the world, and it just I.
- 1:49Speaker 6: Don't know whatever, you know, I think if you're on
- 1:53Speaker 6: a beat which look, I've always I tell students this
- 1:57Speaker 6: when I speak to students or if I'm teaching a
- 2:00Speaker 6: seminar or something. I've always just been a beat writer,
- 2:05Speaker 6: you know. I've always covered one team in one place.
- 2:08Speaker 5: My whole career.
- 2:09Speaker 6: You know, this will be my forty first season as
- 2:12Speaker 6: a beat writer. I've never been a national guy or whatever.
- 2:18Speaker 6: So my advantage point is back in the day, you know,
- 2:24Speaker 6: even when I first started the beat writer, there weren't
- 2:28Speaker 6: many people out there, you know, thet As the Internet
- 2:32Speaker 6: arrived and the outlets increased.
- 2:35Speaker 5: Then that changed the dynamic.
- 2:36Speaker 6: But back in the day, it was a you know,
- 2:39Speaker 6: when I covered the Steelers, for example, my newspaper chose
- 2:45Speaker 6: not to, but the media could be on the charter
- 2:49Speaker 6: with the Steelers. You know, that isn't done anymore, you know,
- 2:54Speaker 6: for decades. But you know, it was a different you know,
- 2:59Speaker 6: and even when teams traveled, you know, in the Eastern
- 3:02Speaker 6: time zone by train, a lot of them, the beat writers,
- 3:06Speaker 6: no matter the sport, were with them, you know. So
- 3:09Speaker 6: it's just a different, different time. And when you cover
- 3:14Speaker 6: a beat, you do feel a little bit sort of
- 3:18Speaker 6: you know, you want to make sure you're right, you
- 3:20Speaker 6: want to make sure you're you're sourced and all those things.
- 3:24Speaker 6: And I think sometimes people get protective of it, you know,
- 3:28Speaker 6: along the way, because you know, it's just part of your.
- 3:32Speaker 5: Life in a big way.
- 3:37Speaker 6: So I think that's I don't think it's the same
- 3:39Speaker 6: because again, like when the newspapers started all closing and
- 3:44Speaker 6: everybody decided that multimedia was the way to go, that
- 3:49Speaker 6: the line between TV and print was no longer no longer.
- 3:53Speaker 4: You know, the core irony in this, Jeff, I don't
- 3:55Speaker 4: think there's anybody more loyal to reading newspapers than me.
- 3:58Speaker 4: I subscribe to you are of them. I read the actual paper.
- 4:02Speaker 4: I love writing, I love reading it. It's the pompous
- 4:06Speaker 4: nature of some who do offer that pros that bother
- 4:09Speaker 4: me talking down to that bothers me. Don't tell me
- 4:12Speaker 4: you're better than me.
- 4:14Speaker 5: I had, I guess.
- 4:15Speaker 6: I thank my parents, so you know, I come from
- 4:21Speaker 6: UH talking down to uh. You know, my mom didn't
- 4:26Speaker 6: graduate high school. She had a lot of jobs people
- 4:29Speaker 6: wouldn't want to work. My dad worked a job for
- 4:32Speaker 6: forty years. Most people wouldn't last ten minutes. And yeah,
- 4:37Speaker 6: they got talked down to a lot by people.
- 4:40Speaker 5: You know along the way.
- 4:41Speaker 6: They didn't like it much, so they sort of taught
- 4:43Speaker 6: us not to do it.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Jeff Lake walld all conversations with leg you brought you
- 4:47Speaker 2: by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers IBW Local sixty eight,
- 4:50Speaker 2: start with the job and with a career. Tell me
- 4:53Speaker 2: about this draft class. You are the draft expert. What
- 4:56Speaker 2: do you think the Broncos acquired how they do?
- 4:59Speaker 5: You know they got good value?
- 5:00Speaker 6: I know people aren't like gassed up because they didn't
- 5:03Speaker 6: take like five receivers but you know the you know,
- 5:08Speaker 6: I had the tight end they got in the fifth
- 5:10Speaker 6: round in the top one hundred, Jonah Coleman, the running back.
- 5:16Speaker 6: I head very close to the top one hundred, so
- 5:20Speaker 6: you know, I think they in the linebacker. You know,
- 5:24Speaker 6: mister irrelevant is going to be pretty relevant, I think
- 5:27Speaker 6: in his career if it progresses like I think I
- 5:31Speaker 6: had a a a fifth round grade on him and
- 5:35Speaker 6: could have been easily, and I know teams that had
- 5:38Speaker 6: a Day two grade on him. So it's just one
- 5:42Speaker 6: of those weird things, Vick. You know, if the teams
- 5:44Speaker 6: that have the high grades on you, if the board
- 5:48Speaker 6: falls a certain way, they don't get a swing at you.
- 5:50Speaker 6: So you just sort of fall through the because.
- 5:54Speaker 5: In day three.
- 5:55Speaker 6: Now in the nil era, day three has suddenly become
- 5:59Speaker 6: everybody going for their needs, uh and selecting players they
- 6:05Speaker 6: would have signed as undrafted before because it gives you
- 6:09Speaker 6: more control. It gives you four years of contractual control
- 6:15Speaker 6: over a player, whereas he've signed him as an undrafted
- 6:18Speaker 6: you might only get one year of contractual you know,
- 6:22Speaker 6: So day three has become a lot of selecting for needs.
- 6:26Speaker 6: So guys like him are gonna fall now a little more,
- 6:31Speaker 6: but I think they did okay. And the defensive tackle.
- 6:34Speaker 6: I know everybody wanted, like, you know, some kind of
- 6:38Speaker 6: offensive guy there, but he has a I think he
- 6:42Speaker 6: will challenge for some of the snaps that were vacated
- 6:45Speaker 6: by John Frankelminer.
- 6:46Speaker 3: I hope he makes it just because I like his
- 6:49Speaker 3: I like the name. I'm Red Murdoch. I played for
- 6:53Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bulls. I mean, just to me that that's real.
- 6:58Speaker 3: You know, little things, Jeff, little things give me excited.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and if you can play hell yeah.
- 7:04Speaker 6: Well, I you know, nobody's ever seen seventeen forced fumbles
- 7:09Speaker 6: in a career because nobody else has ever done it.
- 7:12Speaker 6: So uh, I watched like four full games of his work,
- 7:18Speaker 6: and it was it seemed like every time I looked up,
- 7:22Speaker 6: they were scooping up the ball after he had finished,
- 7:24Speaker 6: just Crater and some guy. So uh, I think he's
- 7:28Speaker 6: got a real shot to push for you know, prime
- 7:32Speaker 6: special teams and even even on defense.
- 7:36Speaker 5: Early.
- 7:37Speaker 4: How many of these picks, if any is expected to start,
- 7:42Speaker 4: is anybody?
- 7:42Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I mean I've always said that it's snapped.
- 7:46Speaker 6: You got to look where the snaps are available to start,
- 7:48Speaker 6: and I think you know Dre Greenlaws snaps are available,
- 7:53Speaker 6: like for Jonah Ellis or you know, for the new guy.
- 7:59Speaker 6: You know, I think John Franklin Myers's snaps are available.
- 8:04Speaker 6: Is it gonna be a wazarique or is it going
- 8:06Speaker 6: to be the third round draft pick?
- 8:09Speaker 5: You know.
- 8:10Speaker 6: I think that's where the rookies can can find some
- 8:13Speaker 6: of those snaps. And I think Jolie the tight end
- 8:17Speaker 6: can push for getting on the field because he's ready
- 8:21Speaker 6: as a receiver. It's just a matter if Sean Payton's
- 8:25Speaker 6: going to say, well, he's got to be proficient at
- 8:30Speaker 6: multiple things before I put him out there, or if
- 8:33Speaker 6: they just will be willing to let him do some
- 8:36Speaker 6: work as a receiver as he learns the rest along
- 8:40Speaker 6: the way.
- 8:41Speaker 2: You know, one of the names you didn't come up with,
- 8:42Speaker 2: and it feels to me like this guy is gonna
- 8:45Speaker 2: play is Jonah Coleman. And it's because he's one of
- 8:48Speaker 2: those guys. If there's one thing we know about Sean
- 8:50Speaker 2: Payton and his running backs, they need to earn the
- 8:53Speaker 2: trust of pass protection with him, and Jonah Coleman seems
- 8:56Speaker 2: to be pretty proficient at that.
- 8:58Speaker 6: Not to be a beat writer, but I did say
- 9:00Speaker 6: Joonah Coleman in the in the answer, no, he that
- 9:05Speaker 6: was a I think what I like about Jodah Coleman,
- 9:10Speaker 6: And it was a stat I was frankly pretty stunned
- 9:13Speaker 6: at because it was a high number. But of his
- 9:16Speaker 6: rushing yards last season, seventy one point two percent were
- 9:21Speaker 6: after contact, which is a phenomenal uh number. So that
- 9:27Speaker 6: guy doesn't go down after the first hit very often.
- 9:31Speaker 6: And I think they were looking for the if something
- 9:36Speaker 6: happens to Dobbins, and you know JK doesn't like discussing it,
- 9:41Speaker 6: but he played the most games of his career as
- 9:44Speaker 6: a rookie and that's still the case. So I think
- 9:49Speaker 6: the Broncos were trying to be in a position where
- 9:53Speaker 6: if something happens to Dobbins, they don't have the same
- 9:56Speaker 6: thing happened to their offense has happened last year, and
- 10:00Speaker 6: Jodah Coleman was the closest thing the JK Dobbins on
- 10:03Speaker 6: this draft board, and I think that's why he can play.
- 10:07Speaker 6: He was also one of my three best running backs
- 10:11Speaker 6: in pass protection, which every single NFL running back coach
- 10:16Speaker 6: I know will say, you're not playing on third down
- 10:21Speaker 6: until I think you can pass protect and the running
- 10:25Speaker 6: back coaches are the guys who are the gatekeepers for
- 10:28Speaker 6: the playing time, and I think that get those two
- 10:31Speaker 6: things give him a great chance to get a lot
- 10:34Speaker 6: of snaps too. And I think those would be the
- 10:36Speaker 6: four rookies I think can push right away for some
- 10:40Speaker 6: kind of action on a fourteen win team. There's just
- 10:44Speaker 6: not much room for new people coming in to find
- 10:48Speaker 6: a place any way.
- 10:49Speaker 2: I'm offended by the way you talk down to me.
- 10:52Speaker 5: I tried very hard.
- 10:56Speaker 3: To do.
- 10:56Speaker 5: It's hard for me at my height to talk down
- 10:59Speaker 5: to anybody.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Hey, Jeff, we'll get to the bonux ankle thing here momentarily,
- 11:03Speaker 3: but I'd like to talk about the elephant in the room.
- 11:06Speaker 3: The problem is you can't fit the elephant in the
- 11:07Speaker 3: tight end room because there are now seven tight ends
- 11:11Speaker 3: in that room. Is the idea, hey man, let's just
- 11:15Speaker 3: bring them all in, let God sort it out. Is
- 11:18Speaker 3: that that must be the idea? Because they took two
- 11:21Speaker 3: in the draft and they already had five. I mean,
- 11:23Speaker 3: what what are we doing?
- 11:24Speaker 6: And they also took one last year, they spent all
- 11:27Speaker 6: year on the practice squad.
- 11:29Speaker 4: And you got you gotta project already. You have a
- 11:31Speaker 4: project already, simmering.
- 11:32Speaker 6: There, and you know they re signed Trautmann, a pretty
- 11:35Speaker 6: big money Ingram's got a year left on it. I mean,
- 11:39Speaker 6: they have made it a crowd and they're all not
- 11:42Speaker 6: gonna make it.
- 11:42Speaker 5: But I think.
- 11:44Speaker 6: They they're not going to admit it publicly, but they're
- 11:48Speaker 6: admitting it in their own way that they they need
- 11:52Speaker 6: to find some impact. They got to find a combination,
- 11:56Speaker 6: uh that gives you some impact because frankly, you know,
- 11:59Speaker 6: the the rest of the league has joined the Mike
- 12:03Speaker 6: Shanahan flot. When I tell people all the time, you
- 12:07Speaker 6: want to you want to crush nickel defenses. You want
- 12:11Speaker 6: to crush three four defenses with edge pressure that have
- 12:15Speaker 6: good edge pressure on you. You got to have a
- 12:18Speaker 6: tight end attacking, and you've got to have a tight
- 12:20Speaker 6: end attacking the middle of the field and in the
- 12:24Speaker 6: red zone because that's where you win the matchups all
- 12:27Speaker 6: the time.
- 12:28Speaker 5: In today's NFL.
- 12:29Speaker 6: You know, inside linebackers are two thirty now, they're not
- 12:33Speaker 6: to forty five, they're not too fifty. And it's why
- 12:37Speaker 6: you see the Rams one of the best offenses in
- 12:39Speaker 6: the league. You know, going three tight ends a lot
- 12:43Speaker 6: of the time. It's why you see the Lions attack
- 12:46Speaker 6: in the passing game to backs and tight ends. Uh,
- 12:51Speaker 6: people have figured it out. The Broncos are late to
- 12:54Speaker 6: the party. They have not been able to do this
- 12:57Speaker 6: for a while, and they know they have to.
- 13:00Speaker 4: All Right, in your finest, finest, sanctimonious tone, Jeff, how
- 13:05Speaker 4: should we feel about this cleanup procedure for b nicks
- 13:09Speaker 4: the ankle moving forward? Personally, I'm not worried about the procedure.
- 13:13Speaker 4: I'm worried about how it's going to affect his speed
- 13:16Speaker 4: and mobility going forward.
- 13:17Speaker 3: How about you?
- 13:19Speaker 5: All right?
- 13:20Speaker 6: You know, VI, I'm always my my stance on injury
- 13:24Speaker 6: recovery is when I see it with my eyes, you know,
- 13:29Speaker 6: when the players full speed, then I'll say it's not
- 13:32Speaker 6: a problem, it's not a potential issue. So it's a
- 13:36Speaker 6: potential issue. But I think in the big picture, this
- 13:41Speaker 6: is multiple surgeries on his ankles since high school.
- 13:46Speaker 5: Uh.
- 13:47Speaker 6: You know, I've since talked to two team two team
- 13:51Speaker 6: medical people from other teams.
- 13:52Speaker 4: Is that fact, by the way, or are we just no?
- 13:55Speaker 5: It's a number.
- 13:57Speaker 6: The number varies depending on who you talk too, but
- 14:00Speaker 6: it's multiple. He's had at least three since he's been
- 14:04Speaker 6: with the Broncos. So three, wow, he's had well, he
- 14:08Speaker 6: had a he had a cleanup after his rookie year
- 14:11Speaker 6: on one of his ankles, you know, and now he's
- 14:15Speaker 6: had two on the right ankle since he fractured it.
- 14:18Speaker 6: So that's just since he's been with the Broncos two years,
- 14:23Speaker 6: three ankle surgeries. So I think moving forward, that's kind
- 14:27Speaker 6: of the just the information you have. You know, it
- 14:31Speaker 6: obviously has not affected his playing time. He has not
- 14:36Speaker 6: missed a regular season game, so it's not an issue there.
- 14:41Speaker 6: But I think moving forward, you know, is this something
- 14:44Speaker 6: where you know, he's played two NFL seasons and had
- 14:48Speaker 6: ankle surgeries after both, is you know, if you're a player,
- 14:53Speaker 6: you don't want it to be an annual thing. But
- 14:57Speaker 6: I think moving forward it will just bear watching and
- 15:00Speaker 6: it will be something I think the Broncos are not
- 15:05Speaker 6: going to want to talk about. Sean Payton's not going
- 15:07Speaker 6: to want to talk about it, if bo Nix is
- 15:09Speaker 6: not going to want to talk about it, So I
- 15:11Speaker 6: think it's going to be one of those hot button
- 15:14Speaker 6: issues until it's not, And the only way it's not
- 15:18Speaker 6: is if he does not have anymore for a while.
- 15:23Speaker 6: But I think you know, the Broncos speak publicly about
- 15:28Speaker 6: it as if it will be no problem, and I
- 15:31Speaker 6: keep being told he's ready to go for training camp.
- 15:34Speaker 6: So you know, until I see that, I'll take them
- 15:38Speaker 6: at their word, but we will. We may not really
- 15:42Speaker 6: know what the Broncos think of all this until it's
- 15:46Speaker 6: time to engage the fifth year option, until it's time
- 15:50Speaker 6: to negotiate a long term contract with him.
- 15:53Speaker 4: One follow up to that, because his rehab is taking
- 15:56Speaker 4: longer than we may have expected. Is that a reason
- 15:59Speaker 4: why Sean Peyton has pushed the mini camps later?
- 16:03Speaker 5: No, it was not he. He genuinely did this.
- 16:08Speaker 6: Because, unlike most coaches, the offseason program in the Collective
- 16:14Speaker 6: Bargaining Agreement is divided into three phases they call it,
- 16:18Speaker 6: and each phase has its own level of activity that's allowed.
- 16:23Speaker 6: Phase three is the eleven on eleven you know, OTAs
- 16:29Speaker 6: and mini camp. Phase one is conditioning only, conditioning and weightlifting.
- 16:36Speaker 6: Sean Payton, unlike most coaches, keeps the guys in Phase
- 16:40Speaker 6: one for a month.
- 16:42Speaker 1: Uh.
- 16:42Speaker 6: He's always done it this way. He believes in it.
- 16:45Speaker 6: He thinks it cuts down on injuries. They don't do
- 16:48Speaker 6: Phase two here. They go right from Phase one to
- 16:52Speaker 6: Phase three. So he because they you know, went to
- 16:57Speaker 6: the AFC Championship game, he didn't want them to feel
- 17:01Speaker 6: like there was like no off season, so he started
- 17:06Speaker 6: Phase one essentially two weeks later. They start Monday in
- 17:10Speaker 6: Phase one, and they'll be in Monday. They'll be in
- 17:13Speaker 6: Phase one for a month, and then they'll do the
- 17:16Speaker 6: OTAs the first two weeks of June, and then mini
- 17:20Speaker 6: camp the third week of June, and they'll they'll roughly
- 17:23Speaker 6: finish up only a few days after they finished up
- 17:27Speaker 6: last year.

- 19:01Speaker 4: Some strategicy going on right now. Aaron Gordon is listed
- 19:04Speaker 4: as questionable. We'll see Minnesota. Meanwhile, he's countered Bones Island
- 19:08Speaker 4: questionable with a sore knee and now just popping up
- 19:11Speaker 4: on their injury list. Io de Sumnu questionable, sore Calf.
- 19:16Speaker 4: I don't know how much of this is gamesmanship. I
- 19:19Speaker 4: have no idea. I didn't see any evidence that he
- 19:22Speaker 4: was slowed down in Game five, but he's on the list.
- 19:27Speaker 4: As far as keys to the game tonight, it is
- 19:29Speaker 4: going to be nerve wracking. It should be nerve wracking
- 19:32Speaker 4: the Nuggets in terms of elimination games during the Joker
- 19:36Speaker 4: jamal era, they've not won one of these type of
- 19:40Speaker 4: games on the road. They did it in the bubble,
- 19:43Speaker 4: but those weren't road games. There was nobody there. So
- 19:47Speaker 4: this is a game, a new frontier for them that
- 19:50Speaker 4: they're going to have to keep this series moving, keep
- 19:53Speaker 4: this series going, keep this series alive, and the only
- 19:57Speaker 4: way to do that is to win in a very
- 20:01Speaker 4: loud arena. And my key is simple, be physical, but
- 20:06Speaker 4: don't cross the line. The last thing you need is
- 20:09Speaker 4: early foul trouble or an ejection that can unravel everything.
- 20:14Speaker 4: Stay physical, stay energetic, stay intense, but be careful of
- 20:19Speaker 4: that line. They will try to go do into crossing
- 20:22Speaker 4: it tonight.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Teas to the Game powered by Johnson Autoplause. He gets
- 20:26Speaker 2: election service and incredible savings on Ramjeep, Chevy, Buelck and
- 20:29Speaker 2: gmc all at one location experience the power of the plaza.
- 20:32Speaker 4: Soau, what Vick is saying is, let's get full on
- 20:35Speaker 4: Olivia Newton John again, Nelly. We've talked about feed this,
- 20:46Speaker 4: We've talked about your role in why this happens and
- 20:49Speaker 4: why this show spirals.
- 20:51Speaker 3: This is not spiraling, bro, is this is propelling to
- 20:55Speaker 3: the stratosphere. Bro, Olivia, give it to me.
- 20:58Speaker 2: You know, you know what I want. Olivia, give it
- 21:01Speaker 2: to me. Huh, you know what I want? I want
- 21:06Speaker 2: what Valentuna said after game five, I want this.
- 21:09Speaker 7: We played our game and we dictated the rules from
- 21:13Speaker 7: the start. We took over and you know we were
- 21:16Speaker 7: playing good, you know, making shots. Everybody stepped up. You know,
- 21:20Speaker 7: that's how we need to play.
- 21:22Speaker 2: Set the tone. Don't be reactionary, be proactive.
- 21:26Speaker 3: But don't you think they're waiting for that? Guys? I mean,
- 21:29Speaker 3: don't you vic If it worked in game five and
- 21:32Speaker 3: it worked, I mean those those early hard screens, those
- 21:38Speaker 3: hard picks early even though some were quote illegal, whatever
- 21:43Speaker 3: it worked. Minnesota knows it worked. It worked on them.
- 21:47Speaker 3: Aren't they expecting it?
- 21:49Speaker 4: You can expect it. But again, human nature dictates doing
- 21:54Speaker 4: what the Nuggets did in front of their home crowd
- 21:56Speaker 4: and doing it on the road in front of that crowd.
- 21:59Speaker 4: Everything that you you know, the serenading of Jade McDaniels.
- 22:03Speaker 4: Who do you think, By the way, if I asked
- 22:05Speaker 4: you who is Minnesota, who are the fans they're going
- 22:08Speaker 4: to serenade from the Nuggets side tonight?
- 22:11Speaker 2: I mean probably Joker, but I would also say CB.
- 22:14Speaker 4: Yeah, they'll they'll get their handful. I mean they'll they'll
- 22:16Speaker 4: spread it around. It's it's gonna be intense. I know
- 22:20Speaker 4: a couple of people that told me that Games three
- 22:22Speaker 4: and four there was the loudest ever in that arena,
- 22:26Speaker 4: And if those are the loudest games ever, I can't
- 22:28Speaker 4: imagine what it's gonna be like tonight. This is it, guys.
- 22:30Speaker 4: I mean, they know, they know it's its take. They
- 22:33Speaker 4: they hold serve tonight. They live to play another game.
- 22:36Speaker 4: If they lose tonight and they have to travel back
- 22:38Speaker 4: to Denver. Feels like Cyanara for the for the Wolves. Well,
- 22:42Speaker 4: who is the guy in the Denver Nuggets that embraces
- 22:47Speaker 4: that animosity the most?
- 22:49Speaker 7: Who's the play our game? And we dictated the wolves
- 22:53Speaker 7: from him.
- 22:55Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's big Valel. I think
- 22:57Speaker 3: it's valentiunis man let him get in their Well. You
- 23:01Speaker 3: know what I saw in game five. I know this
- 23:03Speaker 3: is just me thinking it, but I saw him on
- 23:04Speaker 3: the profile and I thought to myself, you know, his
- 23:07Speaker 3: beard looks angry. His beard even looked angry. The only
- 23:11Speaker 3: time his beard was not angry is when he thought
- 23:14Speaker 3: that it was a Minnesota timberwolf trying to yank the
- 23:17Speaker 3: ball out of his hands when it was really the
- 23:18Speaker 3: official and he's like, oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yeah,
- 23:21Speaker 3: and he gave the ball up to the official. But
- 23:22Speaker 3: other than that, his beard was following his mentality. He
- 23:26Speaker 3: was out in the wrecks goals.
- 23:28Speaker 4: So let me ask you guys, Reckag is indeed available
- 23:31Speaker 4: to play. He's listed as questionable. If he can play,
- 23:36Speaker 4: what do you do with your rotation?
- 23:39Speaker 2: I I pull him off the bench?
- 23:42Speaker 4: Okay, so who sits then?
- 23:45Speaker 2: What do you mean in your rotation? Well, he doesn't
- 23:49Speaker 2: come off the bench.
- 23:50Speaker 4: You had a ten man rotation last game, Tius, But
- 23:54Speaker 4: who's going to run second unit? Point?
- 23:58Speaker 2: I Look, this is just my thing on this I
- 24:00Speaker 2: think having the quote backup point guard is overrated. You
- 24:04Speaker 2: just need somebody to get it past this time. How
- 24:05Speaker 2: about Brucey b Yeah, just get somebody to get it past.
- 24:08Speaker 3: Anybody time to get into your offense.
- 24:10Speaker 2: Vic After that, they run a pretty positionless offense pretty much.
- 24:17Speaker 2: Joker's your point guard. Aaron Gordon now shoots threes like everybody,
- 24:21Speaker 2: kind of does everything.
- 24:22Speaker 4: You know. What I loved about his attitude in Game
- 24:24Speaker 4: five talking about the big Fellow, not Joker, is that
- 24:27Speaker 4: he's got He goes, look, I got a fouls to give.
- 24:30Speaker 3: I got fouls to give. And even though he messed
- 24:34Speaker 3: up in the for the one hundred and twenty seconds
- 24:36Speaker 3: something like that, he gave more fouls too. I mean
- 24:40Speaker 3: he got he got in there, Vick, he got in
- 24:41Speaker 3: there and got all up in there. Can I ask you, ay,
- 24:44Speaker 3: I want, I mean, I want to see that. But
- 24:46Speaker 3: it's just what's Minnesota going to do to counter it?
- 24:48Speaker 2: The the Tiamos fans hate the Nuggets and us the
- 24:56Speaker 2: wild fans hate the Stars.
- 24:59Speaker 3: Who do you.
- 25:00Speaker 2: Think Minnesota fans are more geared up for a chance
- 25:06Speaker 2: to close out the Stars in six at home or
- 25:10Speaker 2: a chance to close out the Nuggets in six at home.
- 25:13Speaker 4: You're gonna be a reasonable person. Minnesota doesn't have devastating injuries.
- 25:18Speaker 4: The Wild, they don't have devastating injuries. If the Wolves
- 25:22Speaker 4: beat the Nuggets, which they could, they're still dealing with
- 25:26Speaker 4: their backcourt that's injured. They're they're not exactly going anywhere. Yeah.
- 25:31Speaker 3: Who you're texting Motion Falness?
- 25:33Speaker 2: Yeah? Who Kevin Falness?
- 25:38Speaker 4: Okay, he's asking him that question.
- 25:40Speaker 3: I'm asking him. Who's Minnesota geeked?
- 25:42Speaker 5: Done right?
- 25:44Speaker 4: No, no mos mos get him on the air here,
- 25:48Speaker 4: I'll show sure, get him on the air.
- 25:50Speaker 3: He by the way, he he's keeping all these receipts,
- 25:53Speaker 3: he says, where does he work? It works for the
- 25:55Speaker 3: Minnesota Wild, the team he's there, Mark Burton, only he
- 25:59Speaker 3: used to work here about the day.
- 26:00Speaker 4: I didn't know that.
- 26:01Speaker 3: Yeah, let me share. How do I share the stupid contact?
- 26:04Speaker 2: But I wonder because look, as much as they seem
- 26:07Speaker 2: to hate us right now, they hate the stars. They
- 26:09Speaker 2: hate the stars, and they got their own beef going
- 26:12Speaker 2: on with Dallas fans because of what was it most
- 26:15Speaker 2: was it a celebration wallstet hat or something like that
- 26:18Speaker 2: that got people been out.
- 26:19Speaker 3: Of the stage. Jamie Ben's cross check on Hartman and
- 26:22Speaker 3: the neck. They are fuming, Yeah, fuming. I'm sure it's
- 26:28Speaker 3: pretty blatant. I'm sure he's in morning skate right now,
- 26:31Speaker 3: so he probably he probably won't jump on with this.
- 26:35Speaker 3: I gotta be at skate.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Wow, did you make fun of your own thing?
- 26:41Speaker 3: Well, when I'm at skate, it's important.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Of course, Fellas Adamman needs to play c B and
- 26:49Speaker 2: Bruce or no, no, no, Tyas has to play CEB
- 26:52Speaker 2: and Bruce. Can't handle that pressure they're providing. Even the
- 26:55Speaker 2: eight minute break he gave Jamal really helped keep them
- 26:59Speaker 2: all all fresh. Uh, fine, just get it past the timeline.
- 27:06Speaker 4: Yeah, you know that's all you need to do. You
- 27:09Speaker 4: know whose limits were? His minutes were extremely limited. Less
- 27:12Speaker 4: game was Tim Hardaway's minutes. He only played twelve. Do
- 27:17Speaker 4: you notice that?
- 27:17Speaker 3: Yeah? Is that one of those like I think that's
- 27:21Speaker 3: the way the game is going type of feel thing.
- 27:23Speaker 3: I don't think it's by Well, you got to you
- 27:25Speaker 3: gotta keep this guy off the floor.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder why that is.
- 27:32Speaker 4: He's exactly lit it up in this series. It could
- 27:34Speaker 4: could use it, tonight could use it. Tonight could use
- 27:37Speaker 4: you know, if you gave me one player. All right,
- 27:40Speaker 4: let's go. Let's go back to who you are. If
- 27:41Speaker 4: Tim Hardaway came off the bench and did his thing,
- 27:44Speaker 4: give me, you know, five of eight threes. Yeah, you know,
- 27:48Speaker 4: if a guy like that, I think when you when
- 27:50Speaker 4: you look at the overall three point shooting this series,
- 27:54Speaker 4: you know, the Nuggets have been really good all year long.
- 27:56Speaker 3: I think the number one three point shooting.
- 27:57Speaker 4: Team five percentage, Yeah, accuracy wise, yes.
- 28:01Speaker 3: If ever, there was a night to get physical and
- 28:04Speaker 3: then to kick it out and fill it up from
- 28:06Speaker 3: the outside. Tonight's the night. Tonight is the night.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Well, this is again, this is what I'm kind of
- 28:12Speaker 2: talking about here, is in Game five, they shot better. Yes,
- 28:18Speaker 2: I think that shooting the basketball better was a correlation
- 28:22Speaker 2: of playing the game more physically, which bred confidence, which
- 28:25Speaker 2: helped you shoot better.
- 28:26Speaker 4: They shot better because they got higher percentage shots, because
- 28:28Speaker 4: they forced a lot of turnovers, they got into the
- 28:30Speaker 4: fast break, they dunked the ball. How many of those
- 28:33Speaker 4: shots are at the rim because they were on the move.
- 28:35Speaker 4: But even from three they shot better. They didn't start
- 28:39Speaker 4: shooting threes better. In fact, it was the inverse. If
- 28:42Speaker 4: you remember that game. The only reason in Minnesota stayed
- 28:44Speaker 4: in the game is because they were hitting threes.
- 28:46Speaker 3: One of the big reasons you won that game too,
- 28:49Speaker 3: As you said, Vicky four so many turnovers you cannot expect.
- 28:53Speaker 3: I mean every game is its own, living, breathing thing.
- 28:57Speaker 3: You cannot expect the t Wolves that have toyovers.
- 29:01Speaker 4: No, No, that was that.
- 29:03Speaker 3: That was an aberration.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Well they had nine in the first in game five,
- 29:07Speaker 2: didn't they They were sloppy. Well, I mean you.
- 29:10Speaker 3: Say it's not to be expected.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Their entire starting backcourt is out. That probably has something
- 29:15Speaker 2: to do with it.
- 29:16Speaker 3: Maybe.
- 29:18Speaker 4: And you know what, the Nuggets had active hands, I
- 29:21Speaker 4: mean Spencer Jones, active Cam Johnson. I'll give him a
- 29:24Speaker 4: ton of credit, dude, he was really good on both ends.
- 29:29Speaker 4: You may not see eighteen points. If you give me
- 29:33Speaker 4: that came that Cam Johnson game tonight, I will take it.
- 29:36Speaker 3: Victor. Mental game, the mental game right now?
- 29:38Speaker 2: Why does Cam do that to me? By the way,
- 29:40Speaker 2: we good game, bad game, bad game, good game bad
- 29:44Speaker 2: bad good good bad bad good good good bad as well.
- 29:48Speaker 3: His roles different, vict the brain game. Is there doubt
- 29:53Speaker 3: inside the Minnesota Timberwolves right now? Well, there has to
- 29:57Speaker 3: be some lingering doubt okay, and then Nuggets. Is the
- 30:00Speaker 3: or any doubt in their mind now or do they
- 30:01Speaker 3: just feel good? Just hey, look, we got nothing to
- 30:04Speaker 3: lose except the damn series.
- 30:05Speaker 4: But time. I don't think there's anything wrong with it
- 30:07Speaker 4: with having some doubt. I think it can be motivational
- 30:09Speaker 4: and you gotta have it. You can't be can't be
- 30:12Speaker 4: too confident. I wonder what do you think? How do
- 30:17Speaker 4: you think Jade McDaniels will react tonight after playing the
- 30:20Speaker 4: heel in Denver not having a good game. He's gonna
- 30:24Speaker 4: get the love tonight. His offense has not been good
- 30:27Speaker 4: in this series.
- 30:28Speaker 3: He's gonna love his love.
- 30:31Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be the same guy. He doesn't
- 30:33Speaker 2: seem like anything bothers him. I think he's just the
- 30:37Speaker 2: same dude every single night.
- 30:38Speaker 5: Now.
- 30:39Speaker 2: I'll break down this game a little bit more along
- 30:40Speaker 2: with the fact checker when we return next. Who get

- 31:13Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna need to hear from some people today
- 31:15Speaker 3: on your pregame show, because you know I'll be watching.
- 31:17Speaker 3: I always do. Now if this game goes to like overtime,
- 31:21Speaker 3: I'm gonna be watching. But I may not watch your
- 31:25Speaker 3: retire postgame show tonight, depending on how late it gets.
- 31:29Speaker 3: That being said, I need to learn some stuff tonight
- 31:32Speaker 3: during the pregame show that I don't already know.
- 31:36Speaker 4: I just learned some stuff reading Dan Hyatt's notes. I
- 31:39Speaker 4: didn't know about this, did you know? First of all,
- 31:42Speaker 4: no one in the NBA, no duo Joker Jamal that era.
- 31:47Speaker 4: Nobody's played more elimination games over the last seven years
- 31:52Speaker 4: than these two have. This will be their eighteenth playoff
- 31:57Speaker 4: elimination game as a duo.
- 31:59Speaker 3: That's crazy.
- 31:59Speaker 4: Eighteen of the seventeen they've played so far, they're eleven
- 32:02Speaker 4: and six in these elimination games. Eleven and six.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Both teams are just the Nuggets. What do you mean
- 32:09Speaker 2: the Nuggets are?
- 32:10Speaker 3: Okay? That's pretty good. I mean, that's that bodes well
- 32:13Speaker 3: for tonight.
- 32:14Speaker 4: But they haven't done one on the road with a
- 32:17Speaker 4: packed house. They've done him on the road. These the
- 32:20Speaker 4: bubble these, yeah, the bubble, which is far different. We
- 32:23Speaker 4: know that. So how they handle the crowds going to
- 32:25Speaker 4: be a factor. It just is I didn't know this either.
- 32:27Speaker 4: You eat off that crowd, go feed off it, man,
- 32:30Speaker 4: I agree, but we'll see that. I'm not worried about
- 32:33Speaker 4: the guys that are used to it. I'm worried about
- 32:34Speaker 4: other players. How will Spencer Jones react to that?
- 32:38Speaker 3: I don't think you know, I don't think that mister Lincoln.
- 32:41Speaker 3: I don't think anything bothers him.
- 32:42Speaker 4: How will Cam Johnson react to it? He's a different
- 32:44Speaker 4: scoring totals, He's in double digits in Denver, single digits.
- 32:48Speaker 3: And min a different story.
- 32:49Speaker 4: Okay, so those are questions to be answered tonight. I
- 32:53Speaker 4: didn't know this. You know, Jamal Murray in the playoffs
- 32:55Speaker 4: is the fourth leading scorer in the playoffs.
- 32:57Speaker 2: It's not been very efficient.
- 32:59Speaker 4: I know, but yeah, you know.
- 33:02Speaker 3: You know, But you know what that is, Vick. It's
- 33:04Speaker 3: because more often not in this series, Bret, you laid
- 33:07Speaker 3: it out perfectly. There's a lot of dribbling around and
- 33:10Speaker 3: then hoisted up. Yeah, a lot of dribbling around and
- 33:14Speaker 3: then here a big fellow you take. I mean a
- 33:16Speaker 3: lot of guys have deferred to those two the entire series.
- 33:19Speaker 2: Vic.
- 33:19Speaker 4: You know, I know that it's gonna be hard to
- 33:22Speaker 4: watch at times tonight. You're gonna get nervous and anxious.
- 33:25Speaker 4: It's so important not to let things unravel, just to
- 33:28Speaker 4: stay in that striking distance. Remember how watching Game seven
- 33:34Speaker 4: in Oklahoma City, how how restless you got when they
- 33:39Speaker 4: built that double deep and then they just took off
- 33:41Speaker 4: and then the game was over Right, it was over
- 33:43Speaker 4: and there's no coming back from it. You can't you
- 33:47Speaker 4: can't allow that.
- 33:48Speaker 2: But in that scenario, it felt like Minnesota would be
- 33:52Speaker 2: what the Nuggets were. They're the team that's hobbled and
- 33:55Speaker 2: don't have their team right, and the things could get
- 33:58Speaker 2: away from them in a hurry.
- 33:59Speaker 3: Correct. I hope it does. I hope that there's doubt. See,
- 34:02Speaker 3: this is what we can't quantify, and we can't know
- 34:06Speaker 3: how much doubt without without Aunt, and that's huge. Just
- 34:11Speaker 3: Aunt alone would be one thing, but also without the Vincenzo,
- 34:16Speaker 3: how much doubt is planted in the minds of those
- 34:18Speaker 3: Minnesota Turbin Wolves.
- 34:20Speaker 4: And now Serios.
- 34:21Speaker 3: And that's not that's not hoping that there's doubt. There
- 34:24Speaker 3: is doubt in there, it's just how much.
- 34:26Speaker 4: And today it just popped up on the injury list.
- 34:29Speaker 4: I would assume who is on the injury list questionable?
- 34:32Speaker 4: What a sore cast?
- 34:33Speaker 3: If he doesn't go, I will be floored.
- 34:35Speaker 2: He'll go, he'll go.
- 34:37Speaker 4: I mean I I see that more as games and ship.
- 34:40Speaker 4: You know, the Nuggets have ag is questionable. They just
- 34:43Speaker 4: want to keep them thinking sure sure.
- 34:46Speaker 3: Whether or not he goes, it's a different story. Hey Brett,
- 34:48Speaker 3: before we're out of here, Yeah, I guess again. We'll
- 34:52Speaker 3: find out tonight. What the Rockies do yesterday? Yeah, brookuet
- 34:59Speaker 3: watching the sho oh right now. You want to say
- 35:00Speaker 3: something to her.
- 35:02Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't know ball you said yesterday the Rocky suck.
- 35:09Speaker 3: You're wrong.
- 35:10Speaker 2: They don't suck. They had a bad game, Brookie.
- 35:14Speaker 4: All right. My question of brook is, if you're watching,
- 35:16Speaker 4: how grossed out do you get when your dad shows
- 35:18Speaker 4: people his feet?
- 35:19Speaker 2: Yeah he did that on the air today. Yeah, ran
- 35:21Speaker 2: embarrassed to your father.
- 35:22Speaker 4: That should be you should be thoroughly embarrassed for your dad.
- 35:26Speaker 2: He stuck his his hoof into the camera.
- 35:30Speaker 3: Pretty good hoof. Be honest about it. If it was
- 35:33Speaker 3: a bad hoof, I wouldn't do it. But it's a
- 35:35Speaker 3: good hoof.
- 35:37Speaker 2: You have really weird things that you're proud of about yourself.

- 36:02Speaker 2: able to do the show from home.
- 36:03Speaker 4: One of the reasons nobody said the show from home
- 36:05Speaker 4: is I can't tolerate some of his shenanigans. You know
- 36:07Speaker 4: what he said to me after that thing, And I
- 36:08Speaker 4: want my own bathroom.
- 36:09Speaker 2: He goes, it's a good ankle, like like, ankles are
- 36:12Speaker 2: something that people are attracted by, Like this is a
- 36:15Speaker 2: physical thing that you should be Yeah, you're right.
- 36:18Speaker 4: It's not.
- 36:18Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, it's not that.
- 36:20Speaker 2: It's not a cankle.
- 36:22Speaker 3: Listen, if you're we're on the if we're talking about
- 36:25Speaker 3: ankles and cankles.
- 36:26Speaker 4: Oh bo, I'm an absolute professional. I know all about them.
- 36:34Speaker 4: You're weird.
- 36:34Speaker 3: You want a final score tonight? I had a vision
- 36:37Speaker 3: about it. Sure, I had a vision. One twenty I
- 36:40Speaker 3: had a dream. I'm not even kidding you. One twenty
- 36:42Speaker 3: four to one fifteen Nuggets.
- 36:44Speaker 4: Well, if the Nuggets score over one fourteen, it's proven
- 36:46Speaker 4: they're gonna win. If they won twenty one, twenty four
- 36:48Speaker 4: to one fifteen Nuggets, so it's gonna be close.
- 36:51Speaker 3: Then yeah, Well it's gonna be like last game though,
- 36:54Speaker 3: when they won one twenty five to one thirteen. I
- 36:56Speaker 3: had won twenty four to one fifteen. That's the final.
- 37:00Speaker 4: What's your score, Brett? I don't know. I disagree with most.
- 37:04Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a slugfest. I think it's
- 37:06Speaker 4: gonna be. I think final score will be.
- 37:08Speaker 3: Have you seen some of these games in the East?
- 37:09Speaker 4: Ovic, like eighty eight, even like Rockets Lakers. Rockets won
- 37:15Speaker 4: in LA last night and it was a slugfest. I
- 37:18Speaker 4: think it's gonna be a similar type game. I think
- 37:20Speaker 4: tonight nerves will play a factor. They will, and I
- 37:24Speaker 4: think it's gonna be a little scoring game. I think
- 37:26Speaker 4: it's one oh four ninety nine something like that. And
- 37:29Speaker 4: it's gonna be type tight tight.
- 37:31Speaker 3: If you hold the t Pups under one hundred points,
- 37:33Speaker 3: you win this game going away, going away.
- 37:37Speaker 4: I tight, tight tight.
- 37:39Speaker 3: Yeah. I just think.
- 37:43Speaker 2: You have such a massive advantage. And it's that all
- 37:49Speaker 2: the guys that we're talking about here on the Minnesota Timberwolves,
- 37:52Speaker 2: they've played in crucial games. I'm not denying that they
- 37:55Speaker 2: all have. Jaden has, Rudy has NOAs Reed has, all
- 37:59Speaker 2: the guys mentioned, Mike Conley, you name it. The difference
- 38:03Speaker 2: here is those guys were not asked to be the
- 38:08Speaker 2: dudes to carry their team in moments like that. It
- 38:12Speaker 2: was always had always The Nuggets have been a lot
- 38:16Speaker 2: of these games as well. The guys that they've relied
- 38:19Speaker 2: on to be the dudes in those games are here
- 38:22Speaker 2: in healthy And that's joker.
- 38:24Speaker 3: And you have the best player on the planet and
- 38:28Speaker 3: an All star. Go win a game.

- 38:35Speaker 4: Even if they do win, still got to win another game.
- 38:38Speaker 3: They'll win that game. Oh, if they vic say it,
- 38:45Speaker 3: the winner of Game six will win this series.
- 38:49Speaker 2: You're damn right, such a bummer that if they do
- 38:52Speaker 2: win tonight and they do have a Game seven. Well, no,
- 38:54Speaker 2: we will have time. VIC can give us one more.
