Speaker 1: it was all over. It's all done there it say
2:34
Speaker 1: his team. All they had to do was show up
2:36
Speaker 1: they were gonna win that date. That's all they had
2:38
Speaker 1: to did you show up, you win the game. That's it,
2:41
Speaker 1: that's all you have to do. Unfortunately, that was not

Speaker 1: the joker was leading the Nuggets into so calh They
3:17
Speaker 1: were gonna win come one at all the momentum, all
3:21
Speaker 1: the momentum right there in so Cal. Clippers, the People's
3:25
Speaker 1: team La trying to force a game seven over the
3:28
Speaker 1: weekend Denver looking to advance to play Oh Klahoma, Oh
3:34
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. There. Now, that was the nightcap on TNT,
3:38
Speaker 1: so we'll start with that. Charles Barkley was not working.
3:41
Speaker 1: Bad job by him. Did he get suspended for ripping
3:44
Speaker 1: the tennis coverage on TNT? I don't know, but we
3:47
Speaker 1: were watching. He probably wasn't, but we were watching maybe
3:50
Speaker 1: you were watching. I don't know if you were not.
3:52
Speaker 1: That James Harden I mentioned he had gotten the stank
3:57
Speaker 1: out of his system. In the previous game. Harden had
3:59
Speaker 1: twenty eight points. It's eight assists, big second quarter and
4:03
Speaker 1: a big bounce back for Harden after he was riding
4:06
Speaker 1: the vomit comet in the previous game, and Kawhi Leonard
4:11
Speaker 1: the Silent Assassin twenty seven points. The Clippers brought down
4:14
Speaker 1: the hammer and force a Game seven in that playoff series.
4:19
Speaker 1: There they went by six over the Nuggets in Game six.
4:24
Speaker 1: Norman Powell twenty four points. The Clippers get it done
4:28
Speaker 1: in the dome. The into a dome there and now
4:31
Speaker 1: after a big second half, actually second and third quarter.
4:34
Speaker 1: Game seven will be Saturday. Depending on your time zone,
4:38
Speaker 1: it is five to thirty local time in the Mountain
4:40
Speaker 1: time zone, four to thirty in the West, and if
4:41
Speaker 1: you're on the East coast seven thirty. For your weekend
4:45
Speaker 1: planning purposes of their Clippers and Nuggets Game seven, Jamal Murray,
4:49
Speaker 1: who had an out of body experience his previous game,
4:52
Speaker 1: had twenty one points for the Nuggets. That the better
4:54
Speaker 1: story is in the losing locker room, So we will
4:58
Speaker 1: start out with that. Let us discuss the question what
5:02
Speaker 1: went wrong? What went sideways for the Nikola jokicch Nuggets
5:06
Speaker 1: in game six. So I've got evil Twin, Shadah and
5:12
Speaker 1: stones rules, and we will combine all of these things
5:17
Speaker 1: together and we will be rough and ready. Rough and
5:22
Speaker 1: ready is what we're going to be.
5:23
Speaker 3: So a.
5:25
Speaker 1: Listen, the Denver Nuggets. You can break it down ten
5:27
Speaker 1: million ways, and we'll break down some of the ways here.
5:30
Speaker 1: But they essentially choked on the sandwich that middle part
5:33
Speaker 1: of the game, the meaty part of the game, the
5:35
Speaker 1: second and the third quarters. The Clippers of my math
5:38
Speaker 1: was right. I drotted this down on my notesapp on
5:40
Speaker 1: my phone. The Clippers outscored the Nuggets by fourteen points
5:43
Speaker 1: in the bridge over troubled waters there the second and
5:47
Speaker 1: third periods. That was enough. That was enough to get
5:51
Speaker 1: it done. Now for individuals, I say, the man in
5:56
Speaker 1: the mirror, the man in the mirror running the wrong
5:59
Speaker 1: way on this particular night, Nikola Jokic who was done
6:04
Speaker 1: in by his evil twin. You see, the Nikola Jokic
6:09
Speaker 1: that showed up in the second half was the guy
6:12
Speaker 1: that was drafted in the second round while there was
6:15
Speaker 1: a Taco bell commercial on television. The guy that played
6:18
Speaker 1: in the second half. First half fine Jokic had twenty
6:22
Speaker 1: points on nine of thirteen shooting. He shot sixty nine
6:27
Speaker 1: percent in the first half. The problem at halftime, he
6:31
Speaker 1: went in there, he took some stupid pills and the
6:34
Speaker 1: joker was a joke. The evil twin showed up in
6:38
Speaker 1: the second half. Jokic shot twenty two point two percent
6:42
Speaker 1: in the second and a half, only had five points, and
6:44
Speaker 1: Ivatsa Zubats and Nick Batoom handcuffed the unguardable Jokic, three
6:54
Speaker 1: time MVP, all time great NBA player, was held with
6:59
Speaker 1: his many points, as many points as you and I
7:03
Speaker 1: had for eleven minutes in the third quarter, scoreless. For
7:08
Speaker 1: an eleven minute stretch of the third quarter, Nikola Jokic
7:12
Speaker 1: did not put up a single point and zoobots emasculating
7:16
Speaker 1: him with a block for the ages, and that was
7:20
Speaker 1: a nasty block. And you are the franchise, you're the
7:25
Speaker 1: face of the Nuggets and all that, and you suffered
7:28
Speaker 1: a dereliction of duties is what you did there? And
7:32
Speaker 1: how about the partner at KREP. Now, we tried to
7:34
Speaker 1: explain this the other day. Some of you are so
7:35
Speaker 1: stupid you can't understand it. But Jamal Murray suffered from
7:40
Speaker 1: a classic regression to the mean. It happens all the time.
7:45
Speaker 1: Extreme outcomes are followed by more moderate ones, and Murray,
7:49
Speaker 1: using malarmath, was fifty one percent worse from game to game.
7:55
Speaker 1: From game five to game six, his performance went down
7:58
Speaker 1: fifty one point from forty three points in a ridoculous
8:03
Speaker 1: game in game five to twenty one points. And then
8:08
Speaker 1: the Russell west Brick showed up. Now, if you look
8:11
Speaker 1: at the box score and look at the overall stats,
8:12
Speaker 1: you're ah, he was fine. He was good. Then he
8:15
Speaker 1: was good. Well, not when it mattered. West Brick showed
8:20
Speaker 1: up late. He was two of seven shooting floor in
8:23
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, two of seven, and missed an absolute
8:27
Speaker 1: bunny in the final couple of seconds there that would
8:31
Speaker 1: have brought Denver within four of a tie. You hate
8:34
Speaker 1: to see it, unless you don't. I mean that, Just
8:37
Speaker 1: have him shoot. I'd pray there's a close game in
8:41
Speaker 1: game seven and the ball goes to Russell Westbrick to
8:45
Speaker 1: make a shot. Let him shoot. If he beats you,
8:48
Speaker 1: that's fine. Let him shoot. Let him shoot. You'll be
8:51
Speaker 1: smiling more times than that. Now, recent history is not
8:55
Speaker 1: looking good for Denver either. They have started to have
8:58
Speaker 1: issues with the fur ball in the throat. On Thursday,
9:01
Speaker 1: they lost a potential series clinching playoff game for the
9:05
Speaker 1: third time in four tries over the last couple of
9:09
Speaker 1: seasons there since they won that championship in twenty twenty three.
9:14
Speaker 1: Denver also blowing it over Minnesota last year. They had
9:18
Speaker 1: a three to two lead in that series and could
9:21
Speaker 1: not get past the Timberwols who are advanced in this playoff.
9:27
Speaker 1: That was in the second round last year. Now page
9:29
Speaker 1: two to the winner side of things. So who are
9:32
Speaker 1: we going to give flowers to for the Kawhi Leonard Clippers,
9:39
Speaker 1: So that the sound that should be played here for
9:42
Speaker 1: the Clippers is some shot a smooth operators. They were
9:45
Speaker 1: as clean as a whistle. They only had seven turnovers
9:48
Speaker 1: in this game. There's a little shot day for it.
9:51
Speaker 1: Seven turnovers plus thirteen in points off turnovers. So smooth, unstoppable,
10:00
Speaker 1: and they did their job. They did their job. James
10:02
Speaker 1: Harden did not need a shave. He was fine. He
10:07
Speaker 1: was good in stretches. There were a couple of points
10:09
Speaker 1: I was yelling at my television. Kawhi Leonard did his thing.
10:12
Speaker 1: Harden was not as passive. He had storman Norman Powell
10:16
Speaker 1: with twenty four points, nine to fifteen floor the rock
10:20
Speaker 1: solid Zubots defense. They played with the proper amount of
10:25
Speaker 1: intensity and hustle in this game. I know it's a
10:28
Speaker 1: bad day for the haters. You were so excited. You
10:31
Speaker 1: had all your things ready to go in draft mode
10:33
Speaker 1: on social media. I try to tell you, oh, you
10:36
Speaker 1: see here you go, he Clippers sugger. You talk trash
10:39
Speaker 1: about the Lakers. The Clippers lost. Okay, well you have
10:43
Speaker 1: to wait another day for that. I know you're going
10:44
Speaker 1: to hiding. You're all cowards. I got you all right now.
10:47
Speaker 1: Last word here, do the Nikola Jokic Nuggets have an
10:52
Speaker 1: insurmountable edge? Insurmountable edge in Game seven at home? They
11:00
Speaker 1: are favored in Game seven, as you might imagine the
11:04
Speaker 1: pillars of the NBA community to answer the question, though,
11:07
Speaker 1: do the Nicola Yugusnuggers have an insurmountable edge in game
11:12
Speaker 1: seven at home? I am shaking my head no, And
11:18
Speaker 1: I'm going very fast back and forth from right to left.
11:21
Speaker 1: Here I'm shaking my head off. Now, low information fan,
11:24
Speaker 1: the uneducated fan, the knuckle dragging fan, will say Denvers
11:29
Speaker 1: guaranteed to win. They're at home, all right, Altitude championship pedigree,
11:35
Speaker 1: all that mumbo jumbo, But follow Stone's rules. Political pundit
11:40
Speaker 1: Roger Stone who famously said the past is effing prologue. Now,
11:45
Speaker 1: I have an unpopular opinion, and my unpopular opinion here
11:49
Speaker 1: is that the matchups do not matter. The film does
11:54
Speaker 1: not matter, The home court advantage does not matter. Injuries,
12:01
Speaker 1: who gives a crap, right, All that matters is who
12:03
Speaker 1: does better in the moment. And as the iconic Dick
12:07
Speaker 1: Stockton taught me, stat's to tell you what has happened,
12:10
Speaker 1: not what's going to happen. And if you're a great player,
12:13
Speaker 1: but you play like an average Joe in this particular game,
12:16
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Now, playoff Harden got his hiccup game
12:20
Speaker 1: out of the way. We did the math. He's bad
12:23
Speaker 1: for ten percent of playoff games. He's fine or good
12:27
Speaker 1: for ninety percent, So that means he's good for another
12:30
Speaker 1: eight games or so based on the odds, before he
12:35
Speaker 1: has another clunker. So you're okay there. And as far
12:39
Speaker 1: as the home court advantage, and there was a point
12:42
Speaker 1: years ago where if you were the home team, you
12:44
Speaker 1: always won Game seven. Spoiler alert, not the case. Fun fact.
12:48
Speaker 1: Fun fact, Malard fun fact on Game seven home court advantage.
12:54
Speaker 1: It turns out there is none since the bubble pop
12:58
Speaker 1: goes the babble. Since twenty twenty one, road teams have
13:03
Speaker 1: won eight of the last eleven game sevens. So you're
13:08
Speaker 1: actually better off being on the road than you are
13:13
Speaker 1: at home. Since the pandemic, you're better and that does
13:16
Speaker 1: not include the pandemic. There was no home court. That's
13:19
Speaker 1: why that was the easiest playoff of all time. Some
13:22
Speaker 1: of you dumb dumbs don't understand that, but the road
13:25
Speaker 1: team has done better. Since twenty twenty one, eight of
13:30
Speaker 1: eleven Game sevens have gone the way of the road team.
13:33
Speaker 1: That'll be nine out of twelve of following the game
13:37
Speaker 1: there on Saturday night. But we'll take your thoughts on that.
13:39
Speaker 1: We do have some postgame reaction as the Clippers get
13:44
Speaker 1: to win there. And now the Denver Nuggets they decided
13:48
Speaker 1: to fire their coach right before the playoffs, and how's
13:52
Speaker 1: that working out with they're about to lose in the
13:55
Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs. I don't think that's particularly good.
13:59
Speaker 1: But they haven't lost. Yeah, so technically they haven't lost
14:02
Speaker 1: since Michael Malone was given his walking papers. But they
14:06
Speaker 1: did hire the NETPO coach to take over this David
14:10
Speaker 1: Adelman character. And here is a David Aptam. He just
14:14
Speaker 1: looks like they got him out of like nerd Army
14:16
Speaker 1: or something like that. Anyway, here's Adalman commenting on the adjustment.
14:22
Speaker 1: So I love these comments. It's talking about the Clippers adjustments.
14:24
Speaker 1: Let's take a list.
14:25
Speaker 3: And I also on the third quarter, we played good defense.
14:28
Speaker 3: We never ever came up with the fifty to fifty ball,
14:31
Speaker 3: and that's just such a backbreaking feeling to do everything
14:35
Speaker 3: right and don't come up with the ball. So we
14:37
Speaker 3: gave him a lot of extra possessions. You know, that
14:40
Speaker 3: quarter absolutely killed. It's not the rest of the game
14:42
Speaker 3: was very even. We played a really really good fourth
14:45
Speaker 3: quarter with a lot of effort. We got to be
14:48
Speaker 3: better throughout the whole game.
14:50
Speaker 1: Isn't an embarrassing when a professional coach talks about effort?
14:54
Speaker 1: Why would you even mention it? The only way why
14:57
Speaker 1: would you mention seriously, The only way you would mention
14:59
Speaker 1: it is if your team I didn't give effort. Her
15:01
Speaker 1: team's a bunch of dogs, and you have to compliment
15:03
Speaker 1: them because they actually give effort in a playoff game,
15:06
Speaker 1: not some random Thursday night in December when no one's watching. Anyway. Yeah,
15:13
Speaker 1: here's one more from the son of Rick Adelman, David
15:16
Speaker 1: Adelman here and commenting about the Game seven at home,
15:22
Speaker 1: which the Nuggets are about to lose.
15:25
Speaker 3: He talked about, you know, after the game, and he
15:27
Speaker 3: win those last three games not just to stay out
15:29
Speaker 3: of the plan, but to get the home court in
15:31
Speaker 3: Game seven, bottom line, And we earned it. And that's
15:34
Speaker 3: why I told him in there, You've earned this opportunity.
15:36
Speaker 1: He earned the.
15:36
Speaker 3: Opportunity tonight to try to close it out because of
15:39
Speaker 3: the way you played in the series to get to
15:40
Speaker 3: three to two. But now you have the opportunity to
15:43
Speaker 3: go home in front of your home fans and advance,
15:46
Speaker 3: and so you know, you play all year for that.
15:48
Speaker 3: We got that opportunity and we're very, very excited to
15:51
Speaker 3: go back out there.
15:51
Speaker 4: And play again.
15:53
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, the Nuggets and Clippers had the same
15:55
Speaker 1: exact record during the regular season, and the Nuggets earned it.
15:58
Speaker 1: They did so much good work during the season and
16:00
Speaker 1: the players got their coach fired before the playoffs. They
16:03
Speaker 1: really earned it, my fat ass, they earned it. You
16:06
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. Anyway, it is the Ben Mallard Show.

Speaker 1: King Ry writes and says, why do the Clippers hate
18:56
Speaker 1: the environment? Do you know how many pollutants they will
19:00
Speaker 1: flood Mother Earth with when they go back to Denver
19:03
Speaker 1: and all those Nugget fans are crying after the Clippers
19:07
Speaker 1: exterminate exterminate the nuggets from the play, I know there'll
19:12
Speaker 1: be people be okay, though, they'll be all right, have
19:14
Speaker 1: a good time. They'll get over it. Late night drug tester. Right,
19:17
Speaker 1: Since it's easy to see why Nicole Joakic struggled, since
19:20
Speaker 1: he is a known horseman, he has too many busy
19:24
Speaker 1: pregame activity. I think there's a word missing here, too busy. Oh,
19:30
Speaker 1: he's too busy pregame getting his Kentucky Derby picks in.
19:34
Speaker 1: By the way, who does the crew like in the
19:36
Speaker 1: run for the Roses. I was thinking about bringing back
19:39
Speaker 1: the equine pick em. We haven't done that in a
19:43
Speaker 1: long time. I don't know and would support that. But
19:45
Speaker 1: we could do the equine pick them. Okay, all right,
19:49
Speaker 1: well why don't we do it this out or do
19:50
Speaker 1: the equin tickam. We'll tell you who we like. We'll
19:53
Speaker 1: go by order of tenure on the show, and we'll
19:56
Speaker 1: do that. Well that's the case, though, that's great news.
19:59
Speaker 1: That's bet all your money on the Clippers. The Kentucky
20:01
Speaker 1: Derby is on Saturday, right, so the Derby's on Saturday.
20:05
Speaker 1: Jo Kicic is going to be distracted. He won't be
20:08
Speaker 1: ready to play the game. He will not be ready
20:11
Speaker 1: to advantage Clippers. Jokich will be distracted. If the horse
20:15
Speaker 1: he wanted to win doesn't win, he'll be distracted if
20:18
Speaker 1: the horse he wanted to win win, so he'll also
20:20
Speaker 1: be distracted. There's no way around it. Berg Dog writes
20:24
Speaker 1: in he says the wall was electric. The basketball torch
20:28
Speaker 1: of La has officially been handed to the Clippers. Good
20:32
Speaker 1: riddance to the horribly run Lakers, and they are few
20:34
Speaker 1: remaining fans. Well, the Lakers are like old money. People
20:38
Speaker 1: like the new thing. You know the Clippers are like
20:41
Speaker 1: Crypto is what they are. They got that new vibe
20:44
Speaker 1: to him and all that. That's the way they go.
20:46
Speaker 1: Aileen writes In says, I suspect the Nuggets will win
20:49
Speaker 1: the series five games to three. Okay, you keep you
20:54
Speaker 1: should bet on that, Eileen. It seems good, absolutely yes,
20:59
Speaker 1: all right? What else do we have? This is here
21:01
Speaker 1: a page nine. Let's see here. Mister nice guy says
21:05
Speaker 1: you're being covered up by bird chirping, club swooshes and
21:10
Speaker 1: golf collaps. Well, mister nice guy, if certain places make
21:15
Speaker 1: programming mistakes, I recommend you move over to the iHeartRadio app,
21:19
Speaker 1: where we are never covered up, ever covered up. That's
21:22
Speaker 1: why you should always have the iHeart app at least
21:25
Speaker 1: as a backup option, so you never miss a second
21:29
Speaker 1: of the show. You never miss a second. Nature Boy
21:32
Speaker 1: writes In, says, usually after a first round loss, they
21:36
Speaker 1: can the coach. Any updates on Doc Rivers or JJ,
21:42
Speaker 1: we will do a post more on the Lakers. There
21:45
Speaker 1: were some wild comments coming out of there. JJ Reddick
21:49
Speaker 1: has lost it. Holy crap, he is so not aware.
21:54
Speaker 1: I mean, my god, JJ Reddick, what a disaster, What
21:59
Speaker 1: an embarrassment, that that represents your team, and seriously, but
22:04
Speaker 1: it's I guess it's appropriate because Laker historians are a
22:07
Speaker 1: holes and JJ Reddick's an a hole, so I guess
22:08
Speaker 1: it kind of they go together. Uh Man Tacoma. Drew
22:13
Speaker 1: rites in says, a game seven to be played, Ben
22:16
Speaker 1: just enough time for James Harden to hijack a jet
22:19
Speaker 1: and find a dancing rhino in Las Vegas and choke
22:24
Speaker 1: the game away. All right, Drew, Well, we tried to
22:26
Speaker 1: point that out. I know you. Maybe you need to
22:28
Speaker 1: go to the year doctor, go to Costco get a
22:29
Speaker 1: hearing aid. He had his bad game in game five.
22:32
Speaker 1: He got that out of his system. He's good to go.
22:35
Speaker 1: He is good to go, nothing to worry about, no concerns. Now,
22:42
Speaker 1: I had other plans. I want you. I had other
22:44
Speaker 1: plans on Saturday.
22:46
Speaker 4: I did.
22:46
Speaker 1: But I'm changing my plans because that's how confident I
22:49
Speaker 1: am in the people's team getting her done in game seven.
22:53
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of you're upset and you're
22:56
Speaker 1: disappointed and all that. It's fine, it'd be okay. You
22:58
Speaker 1: know the haters out there. I got you. I got
23:01
Speaker 1: you anyway. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox is
23:05
Speaker 1: the number eight seven, seven, nine, nine, six, six three
23:07
Speaker 1: sixty nine if you would like to be part of
23:10
Speaker 1: the program. Well, the sins of the Father. Remember the
23:15
Speaker 1: other night we did a rant and we talked about
23:18
Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburton. It looked like satire. He had hit the
23:22
Speaker 1: game winning layup for Indiana to eliminate the Milwaukee Bucks.
23:27
Speaker 1: He's standing on the scorers table like he's conducting the
23:30
Speaker 1: Boston Pops, and he's he's moving his arms, gyrating his
23:35
Speaker 1: arms back and forth. Behind him. His father is getting
23:39
Speaker 1: into a confrontation with Giannis a dent to Coombo. On
23:42
Speaker 1: the court, mind you, on the court, it was it
23:46
Speaker 1: was wonderful. It was so stupid, it was wonderful. Well, anyway,
23:50
Speaker 1: now the rest of the story, as the old radio
23:55
Speaker 1: man from back in the day, Paul Harvey would say,
23:57
Speaker 1: you know, the news is, but now the rest of
23:59
Speaker 1: the story, Well, now we have come to learn. Did
24:01
Speaker 1: you see this, By the way, No, tyres Celiburton's daddy
24:05
Speaker 1: John has been banned. No bouncy ball for you. Bye
24:12
Speaker 1: bye daddy, Bye bye daddy. You're out here. Yeah, banned
24:15
Speaker 1: from attending Pacers games for the foreseeable future. What does
24:21
Speaker 1: that even mean? What is that, laraindo? What does foreseeable
24:24
Speaker 1: future mean? Does that mean like tomorrow?
24:27
Speaker 6: No, that means for forever until we decide.
24:30
Speaker 1: Not to really, Oh man, this guy's screwed. So his
24:34
Speaker 1: name's John. He went on the court after the Pacers game,
24:37
Speaker 1: as we said, there got into it was taunting Adan
24:40
Speaker 1: to Coombo. You know, yes, Coop, you you would not
24:44
Speaker 1: You don't want to see his dad banned from going
24:47
Speaker 1: to NBA games.
24:47
Speaker 6: I think what the dad did was stupid and completely
24:50
Speaker 6: uncalled for. And I agree with the honest completely, but
24:55
Speaker 6: banning him from the games, Like, I'm just don't, don't
24:57
Speaker 6: put him courtside, put him like, what are you gonna do?
25:00
Speaker 1: Well, here, here's what I would do, exactly. I would
25:04
Speaker 1: give him the worst possible Yes I would. I would
25:07
Speaker 1: find at the very last row at the top.
25:09
Speaker 6: Of the he's not going to make it down to
25:10
Speaker 6: the court from there, and.
25:12
Speaker 1: Make him wear a dunce cap. How about that? So
25:15
Speaker 1: not only does he have to sit in the very
25:16
Speaker 1: last row and he's looking down near the pearly gates,
25:20
Speaker 1: but he's got to wear a dunce cap. That's the answer.
25:23
Speaker 1: Why didn't they do that? And who would recognize him anyway?
25:27
Speaker 1: Does anyone know? I mean, I guess we saw him
25:29
Speaker 1: on TV.
25:30
Speaker 6: So you know what now, pictures to all the ticket takers.
25:34
Speaker 1: Like if John Halliburton was at the next Pacer Cabs game,
25:38
Speaker 1: you think anyone's oh wait a minute, I'll recognize you.
25:41
Speaker 1: What are you doing here? Anyway? So they say he
25:44
Speaker 1: will not attend the Pacers home or road games. After
25:48
Speaker 1: a discussion with the team's front office. You think that
25:51
Speaker 1: was a two way discussion or a one way discussion?
25:54
Speaker 1: Do you think that was I'm gonna guess that was
25:56
Speaker 1: a one sided conversation. And yeah, just going out, going
26:04
Speaker 1: out a limb. I remember when Lebron was a rookie
26:07
Speaker 1: with the Cavaliers, his mom used to show up to
26:10
Speaker 1: practice and would heckle some of the players. There was
26:14
Speaker 1: a legendary story, this is twenty years ago whatever, but
26:17
Speaker 1: his mom was such an alpha mom that she would
26:20
Speaker 1: show up and he would advise the Cavs a They
26:27
Speaker 1: had a terrible roster when Lebron was a rookie, and
26:29
Speaker 1: his mom would would like yell at Lebron not to
26:33
Speaker 1: pass to certain certain people on the team. Well, it
26:37
Speaker 1: was very awkward. It was very it was very, very awkward. Anyway,
26:42
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to the phones, and let's start
26:44
Speaker 1: out now with a man who I think guaranteed victory
26:47
Speaker 1: the other day and I mean, I'm looking here and
26:49
Speaker 1: says that I'm looking at my phone. It says the Clippers. One.
26:52
Speaker 1: Let's go to Jeff in Denver. Hello, Jeff, welcome.
26:58
Speaker 4: Hello man. I didn't guarantee nothing tonight. I'm just but
27:03
Speaker 4: have you watched much basketball? Actually watched the game?
27:07
Speaker 1: No, I'm actually blind. I've never watched that.
27:10
Speaker 4: Okay, no, I'm no, I'm just talking. Watch the game.
27:13
Speaker 4: Know what's a foul? That's not a foul? Oh?
27:15
Speaker 1: Here wait, hold let me get my violin out. Hold
27:17
Speaker 1: on a second, Hold on, I mean a the world's
27:19
Speaker 1: smallest violin. Here, here we go.
27:21
Speaker 4: Can you be objective and admit that joker got hammered
27:25
Speaker 4: tonight and only shot two free throws. That's got to
27:29
Speaker 4: change a little bit, I mean, be fair, be.
27:32
Speaker 1: Fair it a little more. Come on, Jeff, come on, yeah,
27:38
Speaker 1: keep going. Yeah, it's sad. It's a Greek tragedy.
27:41
Speaker 4: Bro, you don't think that's a little odd.
27:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, the NBA is looking after the Clippers that's right.
27:46
Speaker 1: They always my entire life. The Clippers have gotten all
27:48
Speaker 1: the calls. Yes, that is correct.
27:52
Speaker 4: It was still a six point game. They've been close,
27:56
Speaker 4: pretty close the whole series.
27:58
Speaker 1: But for Joe, the last game was game wasn't closed.
28:00
Speaker 1: The previous game wasn't close.
28:02
Speaker 4: Well still, but for Joker only get two free throws
28:05
Speaker 4: as much as he gets feed up. That's got to
28:08
Speaker 4: change a little bit.
28:09
Speaker 1: I mean, be fair, may next year it'll change you.
28:14
Speaker 4: I wouldn't place any faith in that guy. You've talked
28:17
Speaker 4: about him before. He chokes in the playoffs.
28:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, he chow. We did the math. Thanks for listening.
28:22
Speaker 1: We did the math. Ten Can I explain somebody, sir,
28:28
Speaker 1: his entire career in the playoffs, ten percent of the
28:31
Speaker 1: time he's useless. Ninety percent he's either fine or good.
28:36
Speaker 1: He's a ninety ten player. The ten stands out like
28:39
Speaker 1: a sore thumb. So he's already got the bad game.
28:41
Speaker 1: He had the clunker. That was the game where he
28:43
Speaker 1: seemed like he didn't want to be there in Denver
28:45
Speaker 1: the other day, and then I'm guessing he'll be fine.
28:49
Speaker 1: He's in one out of ten. He's bad. He had
28:50
Speaker 1: the one, so he should be good for the next
28:52
Speaker 1: He just had a good, good game, so he should
28:54
Speaker 1: have eight more good.
28:55
Speaker 6: That's not how math works.
28:57
Speaker 1: But that's okay, that's malor math. I'm not I don't
28:59
Speaker 1: care about your math. That's my math, and my math
29:01
Speaker 1: is the way I'm doing it.
29:02
Speaker 4: What I think you're short on the ten percent? I
29:05
Speaker 4: think he's good for more.
29:06
Speaker 1: Look it up. I did. I literally did the math
29:09
Speaker 1: on this. I literally crunched the number. I went to
29:12
Speaker 1: Basketball Reference and one other NERD website. I typed in
29:16
Speaker 1: all the numbers and I did the math. If you
29:19
Speaker 1: want me to go back and I'll check my nose,
29:21
Speaker 1: I can give you my notes if you want.
29:24
Speaker 6: What were your parameters? I would like to know that.
29:27
Speaker 1: You were here when I did the monologue. Cooper is
29:30
Speaker 1: not listening.
29:31
Speaker 6: Yes, I was not listening to get details.
29:35
Speaker 1: You just said.
29:36
Speaker 6: You just said you looked at all of his playoff
29:37
Speaker 6: games and the times he's.
29:41
Speaker 5: Good.
29:41
Speaker 1: You're gonna make me go to the nest.
29:42
Speaker 6: I want to know.
29:45
Speaker 1: I will go to the nose. Okay, I will. I will.
29:48
Speaker 1: I don't have them right now, I will lock them in.
29:50
Speaker 1: I will have them by the end of this hour.
29:52
Speaker 1: I will have the notes.
29:53
Speaker 4: What else do you have, Jeff, I would not place
29:56
Speaker 4: any faith in Harden.
29:58
Speaker 1: You've already said that you're repeating yourself. Why would you
30:01
Speaker 1: repeat yourself, Jeff? Why would you repeat yourself? Nobody wants
30:04
Speaker 1: to hear you repeat yourself out there. You you've already
30:06
Speaker 1: made that point.
30:08
Speaker 4: You stated earlier that you think Harden's going to be
30:10
Speaker 4: good again.
30:11
Speaker 1: I told you the ninety ten rule, the ninety ten rule.
30:16
Speaker 1: Ninety percent, he's either fine or good. Ten percent he's terrible,
30:20
Speaker 1: he's useless. He's got the useless game out of his system.
30:25
Speaker 1: It's out of his system.
30:26
Speaker 4: What defined fine? It's fine?
30:29
Speaker 1: Twenty points, Yes, twenty points effective shooting. I can get
30:36
Speaker 1: the numbers here and say anything else? Are you? Are
30:38
Speaker 1: you done?
30:40
Speaker 4: No? I'm just I'm just saying that you really think
30:42
Speaker 4: that that's that Denver's done?
30:44
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. I mean, you do understand even
30:47
Speaker 1: if he was terrible one hundred percent of the time,
30:50
Speaker 1: that's what he has done, not what he's going to do.
30:53
Speaker 1: Like you do understand that it's irrelevant that whatever has
30:58
Speaker 1: happened will have no bearing on what happens on Saturday exactly.
31:03
Speaker 6: So he could put up a complete stinker.
31:06
Speaker 1: Yes, and he can go out there and lead the
31:09
Speaker 1: way for the people's team and lead them to the
31:12
Speaker 1: second round of the playoffs to take down Oklahoma City.
31:15
Speaker 1: So either one of those outcomes as possible, that is correct.
31:18
Speaker 6: I'm betting on the stinker.
31:20
Speaker 1: When's the next Laker game? Do we know? I think
31:23
Speaker 1: it's in Bakersfield?
31:24
Speaker 6: Actually, I know that's a bummer. You're not going to
31:26
Speaker 6: be able to talk about them for a long time.
31:28
Speaker 6: It's your favorite monologue topic.
31:29
Speaker 1: We'll beat them into the ground.
31:31
Speaker 6: Oh that's right, that's right. You are going to talk
31:32
Speaker 6: about them because they're the team that everybody cares about.
31:34
Speaker 6: Nobody cares about the Clippers.
31:36
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. I mean, got a full bank
31:37
Speaker 1: of calls. Everyone wants to talk Clipper basketball. They're the
31:39
Speaker 1: hottest team. Don't people sending me nasty?
31:41
Speaker 6: None of these people want to talk Clippers.
31:43
Speaker 1: They all want to talk Clippers. The clip. It's you
31:46
Speaker 1: know why Coop hip the clip? That is why it
31:49
Speaker 1: is hip two clip. That's why right there, bear the beard,
31:53
Speaker 1: Bear the beard. That's it.
31:56
Speaker 6: Hip to clip sounds like a smoking slogan.
31:59
Speaker 1: Does it? You want to say? Yeah, you probably do
32:01
Speaker 1: want to smoke something. But I don't get it.
32:04
Speaker 6: Why you guys don't think that sounds like a what
32:07
Speaker 6: about it? A clipper like a clipper, lighter hip to clip? No,
32:12
Speaker 6: just me?
32:12
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, anyway, all right, it is the Ben

38:04
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the folds quickly, Andre, Andre in
38:07
Speaker 1: the commonweal, Hello, Andre, welcome.
38:10
Speaker 7: Ben, how are you doing? Thanks you taking the call?
38:12
Speaker 7: Far be it for me to be putting next to
38:14
Speaker 7: Andrea Goadala, the NBA champion in the finals MVP over
38:19
Speaker 7: Steph Curry that year. I believe that with the twenty
38:21
Speaker 7: fifteen championship, even though many of us feel that really
38:23
Speaker 7: should have been Steph's MVP, but they give it to
38:25
Speaker 7: the all around blue guy Agadala. Ben, this situation, I'm
38:29
Speaker 7: the world that we have the sixth suit me, the
38:32
Speaker 7: Clippers and the Nuggets that going to a seventh claim game.
38:35
Speaker 7: Nuggets had their opportunity. The game was kind of nip
38:37
Speaker 7: and tucked, particularly Russell westbrook Man. They cut it to
38:40
Speaker 7: six points. He misses the layup, then it could have
38:42
Speaker 7: been a four point game. What happens on the next possession,
38:45
Speaker 7: Norman Powell up fakes, the guy comes over hits the three.
38:47
Speaker 7: That's a five point swing. They weren't able to cut
38:49
Speaker 7: the gap. Here's what it comes down to for me.
38:51
Speaker 7: Denver as happy A well, I don't know about happy. But
38:54
Speaker 7: you get Jamal Murray back, you know they're playing much better.
38:57
Speaker 7: I can't get over the fact you fire an NBA
38:58
Speaker 7: championship winning coach. Okay, So I got no love for
39:01
Speaker 7: him in Game seven on Saturn, Okay, even though yeah,
39:03
Speaker 7: I just I just I'm Clippers all the way. I'm
39:05
Speaker 7: Daddy wore Bucks. Steve Bomber to be at the game.
39:08
Speaker 7: He'll be standing up and down, sweating profusely, you know
39:10
Speaker 7: what I mean, and just have So we want the Clippers, okay,
39:13
Speaker 7: because they do it the right way. You know what
39:15
Speaker 7: I mean? You don't you know that's right?
39:17
Speaker 1: I said that out Clippers do it the right way.
39:20
Speaker 6: What does that mean? Andre?
39:22
Speaker 1: That don't question Andre? Andre knows more about basketball than
39:27
Speaker 1: all ever.
39:28
Speaker 7: No, come on, no, he has one hundred percent right
39:30
Speaker 7: ability to question me.
39:32
Speaker 1: I can't.
39:32
Speaker 7: Why would you fire a coach with eight games left
39:35
Speaker 7: in the season. They're playing better?
39:36
Speaker 4: Yes, because Jamal Murray is back.
39:38
Speaker 7: Had Mike Malone had Mike Malone had his old team.
39:40
Speaker 7: They wouldn't have been on that skip. So I just
39:42
Speaker 7: can't get over it. You know, this whole new wave
39:44
Speaker 7: and we just get rid of players and coaches because
39:47
Speaker 7: somebody got offended and you didn't, you know, say hello to.
39:49
Speaker 1: Me when you always listen. Leave it there. I agree
39:53
Speaker 1: with you, Andre, it seems rather ridiculous.
39:55
Speaker 6: I agree with that.
39:55
Speaker 1: That's fine. I fire coaches in the offseason or whatever,
39:58
Speaker 1: but you dance with the one who brought you, even
40:01
Speaker 1: if they didn't bring you all that far. But this
40:03
Speaker 1: new coach of the Nuggets, what a nerd? This new guy.
40:06
Speaker 1: I don't like that guy.
