- 1:58Speaker 5: It has been a rough week. I am Vince right,
- 2:00Speaker 5: the sports governor. We are back sports done right. And
- 2:05Speaker 5: first off, shout out to Seventh Avenue Pizza for bringing
- 2:08Speaker 5: you the show. Make sure you support them there and
- 2:11Speaker 5: all literally all over the place. Now best frozen pizza
- 2:15Speaker 5: in the state. The best ingredients make the best frozen pizza.
- 2:19Speaker 5: That's why I roll with Seventh Ave. Let's just get
- 2:24Speaker 5: into it, man, because it is Saturday night, and you know,
- 2:27Speaker 5: I'm what time is it. It's almost midnight actually going
- 2:31Speaker 5: into Sunday morning, and you know, I kind of had
- 2:36Speaker 5: to let myself calm down wild Wolves, and we're about
- 2:40Speaker 5: to get into this horrible week of Minnesota sports playoff
- 2:46Speaker 5: whatever you.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Want to call it. A bunch of bullshit, really, but.
- 2:53Speaker 5: I don't know, man, people talk about the Minnesota sports
- 2:56Speaker 5: curse and this and that. I don't know, man, Just
- 3:02Speaker 5: let's just jump into it, because this isn't gonna be
- 3:05Speaker 5: a horribly long show because I want to work. I'm
- 3:08Speaker 5: working on some guests for next week, and we can
- 3:10Speaker 5: take the deeper dives on this.
- 3:12Speaker 3: And plus it's it's been a couple of days.
- 3:13Speaker 5: It's been a few days now with the Wild, so
- 3:17Speaker 5: you've heard a lot of stuff on sports already. But
- 3:19Speaker 5: with that being said, the Wild blowing that three goal lead,
- 3:23Speaker 5: and again you know it was there for you, obviously
- 3:26Speaker 5: to get this back to the Twin Cities, get it
- 3:30Speaker 5: back for the game six and the hometown and win
- 3:34Speaker 5: that game six and stretch it to seven and see
- 3:37Speaker 5: what happens man Bud. Hell no, I don't know what happened.
- 3:43Speaker 5: And honestly, I watched a little bit of the first
- 3:45Speaker 5: period while looking good.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Then they go up three to nothing.
- 3:49Speaker 5: This game's over, it's over, right, Well, no, it's not.
- 3:58Speaker 5: And you know, while you know, obviously missing Brodine and
- 4:02Speaker 5: Eric Sanak sounds like they had broken bones in their
- 4:08Speaker 5: feet or something like that. But anyway, you're missing, you know,
- 4:11Speaker 5: literally to two of your best players, if you know,
- 4:15Speaker 5: Carill up and down.
- 4:18Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know.
- 4:22Speaker 5: It's Quinn Hughes gonna be around here in the future
- 4:24Speaker 5: as well. I mean, there's lots of things to digest here.
- 4:28Speaker 3: And I get it.
- 4:28Speaker 5: It's Colorado the Juggernaut. Everybody's you know, favorite to actually
- 4:34Speaker 5: probably win the Stanley Cup this year. But if you
- 4:38Speaker 5: cannot put a team away three nothing, and I get it,
- 4:43Speaker 5: you were on the road, but still three nothing, man,
- 4:46Speaker 5: you you have.
- 4:47Speaker 3: To finish this game.
- 4:48Speaker 5: And you know, it sounds like the Wild just kind
- 4:51Speaker 5: of went into lockdown, you know, just kind of let's
- 4:53Speaker 5: just run the run the time off the clock, let's
- 4:56Speaker 5: not continue what got us the three goalie and sure enough,
- 5:02Speaker 5: the mighty juggernaut that is the Avalanche.
- 5:04Speaker 3: You had.
- 5:05Speaker 5: The Wild felt the Avalanche and got buried under one
- 5:09Speaker 5: obviously four goals, come back, win the game, ot in
- 5:15Speaker 5: the series, and really leave the Minnesota wildfans stun. I
- 5:22Speaker 5: personally thought this was the year. I thought the Wild
- 5:27Speaker 5: made obviously made great moves, set themselves up, and I
- 5:32Speaker 5: love what they did as an organization because that's what
- 5:34Speaker 5: you do. You go after when you have the opportunity.
- 5:39Speaker 5: Are you listening to Chicago Blackhawks front office? But anyway,
- 5:43Speaker 5: I digress, but you know, playing to run out the clock,
- 5:50Speaker 5: get out of your game plan. Now all of a sudden,
- 5:52Speaker 5: you give up the one goal. Next thing, you know,
- 5:55Speaker 5: late third period, Oh my god, what was eighty seconds
- 5:58Speaker 5: minute twenty something like? That's all we got to do
- 6:01Speaker 5: is run that off the clock and guess what they
- 6:03Speaker 5: give up the time goal. Obviously we know how it ends.
- 6:06Speaker 5: And Minnesota Wild got a lot to think about, man,
- 6:10Speaker 5: a lot to think about, because again, this was supposed
- 6:13Speaker 5: to be the year you know, probably not a lot
- 6:16Speaker 5: of fine tuning, but as things settled down, and also
- 6:19Speaker 5: we'll see how the rest of the playoffs play out
- 6:21Speaker 5: as well, you know, Vegas and Colorado and you know,
- 6:26Speaker 5: just kind of see what's what's happening during the off
- 6:29Speaker 5: season here.
- 6:29Speaker 3: But it's so.
- 6:30Speaker 5: Disappointing, man, that was really really disappointing that the Wild,
- 6:36Speaker 5: you know, just literally tanked it and became victims of
- 6:42Speaker 5: an avalanche. You better believe it, because Colorado, man.
- 6:46Speaker 3: They are looking very very good.
- 6:49Speaker 5: So yeah, just disappointing, man. Minnesota Sports love. On the
- 6:59Speaker 5: other side, the Eastern Sabers Canadians, they're gonna meet in
- 7:03Speaker 5: Game seven.
- 7:05Speaker 3: And that's gonna be a good one. You know.
- 7:08Speaker 5: I kind of like to see Buffalo get to the
- 7:10Speaker 5: Stanley Cup, you know, just the kind of that forgotten city.
- 7:14Speaker 5: You know, only got a couple of professional teams. You know,
- 7:17Speaker 5: they got the new stadium for the Bills, and here
- 7:20Speaker 5: come the Sabers.
- 7:22Speaker 3: And you know, screw it, man.
- 7:24Speaker 5: Good luck to him, Good luck to him. See what
- 7:27Speaker 5: happens there. Let's just keep it going, man, because I'm
- 7:33Speaker 5: not gonna just draw the shot this show out tonight.
- 7:36Speaker 5: Like I said, the Minnesota Timberwolves. You know, I'm still
- 7:42Speaker 5: trying to wrap my head around what I saw here
- 7:46Speaker 5: in this series. In the game. You know, everybody's obviously
- 7:53Speaker 5: upset with Anthony Edwards going over there with about eight
- 7:57Speaker 5: minutes or so and giving love to the Sante Antonio Spurs.
- 8:02Speaker 5: That was a bad look, and I get it, and
- 8:07Speaker 5: I agree with it, and we'll come back to that
- 8:12Speaker 5: in a minute. But let's focus on, you know, really
- 8:18Speaker 5: what we should be looking at here, Julius Randal, who
- 8:25Speaker 5: has three years left on one hundred million dollar contract.
- 8:29Speaker 5: Rudy Gobert, who has two seasons left on his three year,
- 8:34Speaker 5: one hundred and nine million dollar deal.
- 8:38Speaker 3: You know, Randall was I.
- 8:40Speaker 5: Think I was just watching a podcast before I came
- 8:44Speaker 5: on here, and I think they said he was four
- 8:47Speaker 5: from twenty one from the three point line, which is
- 8:49Speaker 5: like nineteen percent shot in the twenty percent range, and
- 8:54Speaker 5: you know from regular field goals, just garbage, just garbage,
- 8:58Speaker 5: And something is, something's percolating, something's starting to happen, and
- 9:04Speaker 5: we're starting to get, you know, some some intel from
- 9:09Speaker 5: the Timberwolves in these postseason interviews, because everybody's talking and
- 9:13Speaker 5: hinting about the locker room. Some players felt this way,
- 9:19Speaker 5: Some players felt that way. So I think what we're
- 9:24Speaker 5: gonna find out, as fans of this Minnesota Timberwolves team
- 9:28Speaker 5: people here and again Vince wrightes sports governor Sports Done
- 9:31Speaker 5: Right podcast, is that this team was not as cohesive
- 9:36Speaker 5: as we were led to believe or that we thought.
- 9:41Speaker 5: And you know, whether that was Rando or some other people,
- 9:45Speaker 5: there's definitely some stuff going on. And obviously, you know,
- 9:49Speaker 5: losing Devincenzo, you know, right off the bat, that really
- 9:53Speaker 5: took things out of whack as well. But Randal's gotta go.
- 9:58Speaker 5: Randall's gotta go. Don't want to see him anywhere near
- 10:02Speaker 5: this Minnesota Timberwolves team going forward.
- 10:05Speaker 4: It just.
- 10:08Speaker 5: And he's gonna be tough to trade with that contract.
- 10:10Speaker 3: I get it.
- 10:11Speaker 5: But you find a damn way, find a damn way
- 10:15Speaker 5: to get this guy out of here. Do not want
- 10:19Speaker 5: to see this guy in the Timberwolves uniform next year.
- 10:21Speaker 3: I just.
- 10:24Speaker 5: You know, and you know I kind of feel that
- 10:28Speaker 5: way about Gobert as well, because you cannot be seven
- 10:31Speaker 5: feet two three four and can't score. I mean, you
- 10:37Speaker 5: just can't.
- 10:38Speaker 3: I mean, it's ridiculous.
- 10:39Speaker 5: And you know, we can talk about the NBA of
- 10:42Speaker 5: today and vice versa and back in my day with
- 10:45Speaker 5: all these great centers, you cannot be that tall and
- 10:50Speaker 5: average the points that that dude.
- 10:54Speaker 3: Gets and go beart.
- 10:56Speaker 5: I get it, you know, the defensive Player of the
- 10:58Speaker 5: Year awards and all that, and thank god he has
- 11:01Speaker 5: that because I mean, when he gets the ball in
- 11:04Speaker 5: his hands, I almost use the term I shouldn't use,
- 11:12Speaker 5: but it is just it's ridiculous. It is ridiculous when
- 11:17Speaker 5: that guy, I mean, I'm at a loss for words
- 11:21Speaker 5: with Rudy Gobert on offense and him and randall gotta go.
- 11:33Speaker 5: They just gotta go. I know Rudy's probably gonna be here,
- 11:37Speaker 5: and I appreciate Rudy on defense and all this stuff, man, but.
- 11:43Speaker 3: We need people to go at that basket and we
- 11:46Speaker 3: don't need.
- 11:48Speaker 5: Seven foot plus players out there shooting threes and whatnot.
- 11:53Speaker 5: I'm just really frustrated, heart and so, and then you
- 11:56Speaker 5: gotta go to the head coach as well, you know.
- 11:58Speaker 5: I mean, you know, Laurie and Ara does need the owners.
- 12:02Speaker 5: They gotta look at the head coach because I think
- 12:06Speaker 5: it's all tied in. These players weren't listening to Finch.
- 12:10Speaker 5: I don't know, Finch pissed off some people down the
- 12:12Speaker 5: way or whatever.
- 12:14Speaker 3: But I don't know, man, I don't know.
- 12:17Speaker 5: I think Chris Finch will probably be here next year.
- 12:21Speaker 5: I'd be a little surprised that he was let go,
- 12:23Speaker 5: but I guess everything's on the table right now because
- 12:27Speaker 5: this was a horrible, piss poor effort by.
- 12:30Speaker 3: The Minnesota Timberwolves. It's that simple.
- 12:32Speaker 5: There's no way of dressing this up, and hey go
- 12:36Speaker 5: if they won two games, you know, chill out, big smooth,
- 12:42Speaker 5: screw that, man. And then last night, let you know,
- 12:46Speaker 5: Anthony going over there, you know, dapping everybody up with
- 12:49Speaker 5: eight minutes. That's a horrible look too, man, that's a
- 12:53Speaker 5: horrible look.
- 12:53Speaker 3: I mean it's you can't do that. You can't do that.
- 12:57Speaker 5: You gotta just wait till the end of the game.
- 12:59Speaker 5: Give them props. Granted, san Antonio definitely earned him. You know,
- 13:05Speaker 5: Wmby came out the other night when he had what
- 13:08Speaker 5: was it, sixteen twenty points in that first quarter. That's
- 13:11Speaker 5: what you do, especially coming off of a loss. You
- 13:15Speaker 5: come back up to and you throw it down on
- 13:18Speaker 5: the road like that in that first quarter. Send the messages.
- 13:22Speaker 5: That's how you do it, Timberwolves. I mean, outside of Nas.
- 13:30Speaker 5: You know, we'll see Ifao wants to stick around after
- 13:32Speaker 5: this now that that's gonna be very interesting. But yeah,
- 13:35Speaker 5: you know him, Nas a man. You know, obviously those
- 13:40Speaker 5: two will be here for sure. But I don't know, man,
- 13:43Speaker 5: rest of this squad, I don't know. We're gonna find out, though.
- 13:48Speaker 5: I think we're gonna you know, we were starting to.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Get leaks today.
- 13:51Speaker 5: If you go to Twitter and my Twitter, you will
- 13:55Speaker 5: see that I posted some of the quotes from Dante
- 13:59Speaker 5: and Na's read really got into it himself. So he
- 14:05Speaker 5: said some things that were very very interesting, and I
- 14:07Speaker 5: think that, you know, that was the first post on
- 14:10Speaker 5: social media that I saw. Then I saw a few
- 14:12Speaker 5: other posts and yeah, this there's something going on in
- 14:15Speaker 5: the Timberwolves locker room. You know that doesn't seem to
- 14:19Speaker 5: be as happy of a spot as we thought, like
- 14:23Speaker 5: I was saying earlier, So yeah, man, it is. It's
- 14:27Speaker 5: really disappointing because again with the Wild to check out
- 14:32Speaker 5: after going up three goals on the road Colorado, I mean,
- 14:36Speaker 5: you couldn't You couldn't script it any better because I
- 14:41Speaker 5: checked out. I thought they were good to go. Next thing,
- 14:44Speaker 5: you know, I heard overtime what and then the Timberwolves
- 14:50Speaker 5: with just a meaningless, lackluster, no emotion effort the other
- 14:59Speaker 5: night here in this last game, and you can't have that.
- 15:03Speaker 5: And that's why I say, you know, I don't think
- 15:05Speaker 5: the coach is gonna be gone, but you know, you
- 15:08Speaker 5: gotta look at at him these players, and like I said, Randall,
- 15:12Speaker 5: I wish we can get rid of Randall and Rudy Gobert.
- 15:17Speaker 5: Was never really a Rudy Gobert fan, respect the defensive
- 15:20Speaker 5: Player of the Year trophies. But again, man, you gotta
- 15:23Speaker 5: be able to put some some real offense on the
- 15:25Speaker 5: board when you're seven foot two, seven foot three, and
- 15:29Speaker 5: you know, that just bugs me that you can only
- 15:32Speaker 5: average what eight ten points a game and you're that tall,
- 15:36Speaker 5: should be inside dominating set out there trying to you know,
- 15:40Speaker 5: shoot jump shots. But I digress because that's the NBA
- 15:43Speaker 5: of today. Oh fuck, excuse the language, people, but that's
- 15:50Speaker 5: how I feel. Man. It is just it's Minnesota sports,
- 15:55Speaker 5: Minnesota sports and of the major you know four men's
- 16:01Speaker 5: sports there. You know, it has been a minute since
- 16:03Speaker 5: the Minnesota Twins in ninety one brought home that second
- 16:07Speaker 5: championship within four years, and everybody was on top of
- 16:10Speaker 5: the world at least with them, and now Timberwolves regressing,
- 16:16Speaker 5: wild blowing a golden opportunity to advance deep in the playoffs.
- 16:21Speaker 5: And part of it in the on the NHL side
- 16:24Speaker 5: is that playoff system where they're playing the top two
- 16:27Speaker 5: teams right away. Need to go back to kind of
- 16:30Speaker 5: the basic you know, one versus eight, two versus seven,
- 16:35Speaker 5: all that type of thing out there in the NHL.
- 16:37Speaker 5: But we'll talk about that in the future. But yeah, man,
- 16:41Speaker 5: just disappointed, disappointing in Minnesota Twins off to a hot start.
- 16:46Speaker 5: They've been hitting the tank again lately. Hey, at least
- 16:51Speaker 5: my Cubbies first place at least for now.
- 16:54Speaker 3: So go Cubs.
- 16:55Speaker 5: Go outside of that people, We're gonna let you go
- 17:00Speaker 5: here tonight. Like I said, we're working on some guests
- 17:02Speaker 5: here in the next couple of weeks for the next
- 17:04Speaker 5: couple shows in the Sports Done Right Podcast. And again
- 17:09Speaker 5: I feel your pain. I'm with you, just really really
- 17:14Speaker 5: really disappointed this week because I listen, I really thought
- 17:21Speaker 5: the Minnesota Wild we're at least gonna get to the
- 17:24Speaker 5: conference finals.
- 17:27Speaker 3: I really believe that. I thought the world.
- 17:30Speaker 5: You know, hey, listen, san Antonio is tough, and you know,
- 17:37Speaker 5: I don't know, just thought I'd get a little bit
- 17:40Speaker 5: better effort. And that last game was just so soulss
- 17:44Speaker 5: man just getting destroyed like that at home, that one
- 17:48Speaker 5: really sucks. So with that being said, my friends, I'm
- 17:52Speaker 5: gonna let you get out of here enjoy the rest
- 17:55Speaker 5: of the weekend. It has been something here in Minnesota
- 17:59Speaker 5: in terms of sports once again. But hey, we'll just
- 18:02Speaker 5: keep going.
- 18:03Speaker 3: We'll just keep going.
- 18:05Speaker 5: With that being said, I am Vince Right, the Sports Governor,
- 18:09Speaker 5: host of the Sports Done Right Podcast. Thanks for coming
- 18:11Speaker 5: by the Executive Mansion. We appreciate it. We will be
- 18:15Speaker 5: back next week with another Sports Done Right.
- 18:18Speaker 3: Thank you and good night.
- 18:23Speaker 5: You can get your sports scattered, smothered, or covered, but
- 18:27Speaker 5: why would you when you can get your sports done right.
