- 0:08Speaker 1: He's out.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Let's get the latest on the Utah Jazz with former
- 0:24Speaker 2: Jazz assistant coach Gordy Chiasa. He's forgotten more about the
- 0:27Speaker 2: NBA than any of us will ever know.
- 0:29Speaker 3: Let's not get crazy.
- 0:30Speaker 4: Come for the hoops talk.
- 0:32Speaker 5: Stay for his list of the day A list today.

- 0:59Speaker 6: A n A Vista dot com. Gordy welcome. How are you, sir?
- 1:04Speaker 3: Sean? I'm doing well. Thank you.
- 1:07Speaker 6: Lakers Warriors tonight right here on ESPN seven hundred and
- 1:11Speaker 6: ninety two one FM. How interesting are the Lakers for
- 1:14Speaker 6: you right now? With Lebron in his forties having to
- 1:17Speaker 6: carry much more of this load.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Very interesting?
- 1:20Speaker 7: And also it's Steph Curry trying to get some more
- 1:23Speaker 7: rhythm with his teammates. And so the Lakers point of
- 1:26Speaker 7: view is that they're the fourth seed, tied with the
- 1:29Speaker 7: Rockets at fifty and twenty nine, and they have to
- 1:33Speaker 7: win this game. Could they rather play They rather play
- 1:36Speaker 7: the Rockets. They rather play the Rockets in the first
- 1:41Speaker 7: the Rockets in the first round with the home court advantage.
- 1:44Speaker 7: And so the Nuggets are right ahead of them fifty
- 1:46Speaker 7: two and twenty eight. So three play six in the players,
- 1:49Speaker 7: four plays five. So tonight's game against the Warriors, it
- 1:52Speaker 7: does matter. For the Warriors point of view, they're locked
- 1:54Speaker 7: into the tenth seed. Their their rallying cry right now
- 1:58Speaker 7: is they try to get some team read them and
- 2:01Speaker 7: can't The question is always philosophically as a tense seed,
- 2:04Speaker 7: they got to play two road games to get into
- 2:07Speaker 7: the playoffs. It's gonna be probably against definitely against the Blazers,
- 2:12Speaker 7: which they could win, and then can they beat the
- 2:15Speaker 7: winner the loser of the Suns versus the Clippers, And
- 2:18Speaker 7: I say, Sean, they can. So don't count the Warriors out,
- 2:21Speaker 7: even though they're the tenth seed right now. So it's
- 2:25Speaker 7: it's fascinating the teams that are trying to win. It
- 2:28Speaker 7: does matter, and so just quickly. He would be the
- 2:33Speaker 7: first round in the West. He would be there. Who
- 2:36Speaker 7: they would play the Thunder is, the first seed would
- 2:39Speaker 7: play the winner of the Suns versus Clippers. The second seed,
- 2:45Speaker 7: the Spurs would plays to me, would play me the Sons,
- 2:51Speaker 7: and the Spurs would play the winner of the Suns
- 2:56Speaker 7: and the Clippers, and the Thunder would play the winner
- 2:59Speaker 7: of the Blazer Warriors. All right, so the third seed
- 3:02Speaker 7: would be the Nuggets versus the Tea Wolves. I mentioned
- 3:05Speaker 7: also four versus five, Lakers versus Rossis. So it's going
- 3:08Speaker 7: to be a really interesting Western Conference. And for Jazz
- 3:11Speaker 7: point of view, they're the fourteenth, tied with the Kings
- 3:14Speaker 7: right now. They're trying to probably lose the last two games,
- 3:18Speaker 7: showing they get a better odds to get the first pick.
- 3:23Speaker 7: In Jazz basketball, if you finish fourth, you have a
- 3:26Speaker 7: twelve point five percent odds to get the first pick.
- 3:29Speaker 7: If you finish fifth you have a ten point five
- 3:32Speaker 7: percent odds. So the arts do actually switch slightly a
- 3:35Speaker 7: little bit, you.
- 3:36Speaker 5: Get a little bit better odds.
- 3:37Speaker 6: More importantly, if you're in that three or that fourth
- 3:40Speaker 6: worst team spot, you can't even there's no percentage that
- 3:45Speaker 6: you can lose your pick to Oklahoma City.
- 3:48Speaker 7: That's correct, Yeah, exactly. So the jazz are picking in
- 3:51Speaker 7: the lottery. The question is the lottery gods what number
- 3:55Speaker 7: And they'll be determined on ironically Mother's Day, which is
- 3:59Speaker 7: May tenth. That's when draft lottery selection order is announced.
- 4:05Speaker 7: So it's on a Sunday night, and UH and Jazz,
- 4:08Speaker 7: all the jazz fans, they're absolutely going to be anxious
- 4:11Speaker 7: to see where it plays out because it's such showing
- 4:13Speaker 7: there's such an interest in aj Deboncer.
- 4:16Speaker 3: So the question is where does he go?
- 4:18Speaker 7: Does he go to the Jazz, does he go some
- 4:21Speaker 7: other does he go to Sacramento Kings, Does he go
- 4:23Speaker 7: to the Wizards, the Paces, the Nets, or some outlier
- 4:27Speaker 7: like last year when the Dallas Mavericks had had the
- 4:29Speaker 7: tenth tenth pick got the first pick Cooper Flag.
- 4:34Speaker 6: So that's a month away, and we talked about this
- 4:37Speaker 6: the other day. There's not there's not a lot of
- 4:41Speaker 6: definitive consensus on where anyone would go outside of those
- 4:45Speaker 6: top one or two picks. If you're in the Utah
- 4:48Speaker 6: jazz world right now, right and they're going to be
- 4:50Speaker 6: drafting in the lottery, this is a deep draft. Even
- 4:55Speaker 6: if you're not talking about aj Debonca, Darren Peterson, Cam Booser,
- 4:59Speaker 6: this is draft where you've got some I mean, if
- 5:03Speaker 6: you end up getting Brayden Burry's from Arizona, there's some
- 5:05Speaker 6: really nice things about him. I know that's a developmental prospect.
- 5:09Speaker 6: But a month ahead of when this draft lottery happens
- 5:15Speaker 6: and the optimism is there that it'll work out well
- 5:17Speaker 6: for the Utah Jazz. But even if it doesn't and
- 5:19Speaker 6: you end up picking sixth or seventh, can you get
- 5:23Speaker 6: someone at six or seven that improves this particular Jazz
- 5:29Speaker 6: roster in a meaningful way where when you turn the
- 5:33Speaker 6: corner and you start actually competing next year, Yeah, that
- 5:37Speaker 6: number six or seven pick is going to be part
- 5:39Speaker 6: of that. Or is it only if you're in the
- 5:41Speaker 6: top three that whoever you get is going to be
- 5:43Speaker 6: part of it next year?
- 5:44Speaker 4: No?
- 5:44Speaker 7: Definitely, No, there was six, seven, eight, five. Well, what
- 5:48Speaker 7: a Jazz pick. That guy will help the Jazz. He'll
- 5:50Speaker 7: be a younger guy usually who'll be nineteen years old,
- 5:56Speaker 7: like Ace Belly type, but they have talent and that player,
- 6:00Speaker 7: that player would be in the lineup, probably off the
- 6:02Speaker 7: bench to start the season because the Jazz have Again,
- 6:05Speaker 7: the Jazz have good players. When the Jazz are healthy,
- 6:09Speaker 7: they play relatively well, especially offensively, So they're gonna get
- 6:14Speaker 7: a good player in the draft. We left that one
- 6:16Speaker 7: guy purposely. He's very good. He broke his wrists. He
- 6:19Speaker 7: hasn't played for Carolina and that's part of the reason
- 6:21Speaker 7: why that Carolina struggled at the end. They replaced the
- 6:25Speaker 7: coach and now with the Michael Malone, it's Caleb Wilson.
- 6:28Speaker 7: It's shown. It's this running four man. I did see
- 6:30Speaker 7: him play live this year against BYU and he's very good.
- 6:34Speaker 7: And so myself personally, if the Jazz don't get the
- 6:38Speaker 7: bouncer or Darren Peterson or Cameron Boozer, if they took
- 6:42Speaker 7: Caleb Wilson, I would be a static because this guy
- 6:45Speaker 7: is a six to nine kangaroo jumper that can really play,
- 6:49Speaker 7: and he has a wonderful all around game and his
- 6:52Speaker 7: upside is tremendous, very similar to Ace Bell. You know, again,
- 6:57Speaker 7: for the listeners right now, Ace Belly turns in August,
- 7:00Speaker 7: so he's so young. I mean, so when you see
- 7:03Speaker 7: you see that what he's done on the court. Ace,
- 7:07Speaker 7: these guys in the draft right now they're coming up,
- 7:10Speaker 7: they'll be very similar, if not more than a Spelly.
- 7:13Speaker 7: And if you if you X NHS fan are happy
- 7:15Speaker 7: with a Spelly number five, they would say absolutely unequivocally yes, yes.
- 7:20Speaker 6: Absolutely yeah, and that you go back to when it
- 7:25Speaker 6: actually happened and it was just devastation. Right, Oh my gosh,
- 7:30Speaker 6: you're not gonna get Cooper Flagg. This is terrible, what
- 7:33Speaker 6: a bust, what a waste of a tanking year. And
- 7:36Speaker 6: now none of us feel that way because Ace Bailey
- 7:39Speaker 6: is clearly going to be an important player for this
- 7:41Speaker 6: franchise in the foreseeable future.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Correct very much.
- 7:44Speaker 7: And he's got a he's got a winning game though
- 7:46Speaker 7: young and young means what he lacks the overall strength
- 7:50Speaker 7: as far as upper body and core, but he'll develop that.
- 7:54Speaker 7: But he has a winning game. He plays to win.
- 7:56Speaker 7: He'll get his three points shot much more accurate. He's
- 7:59Speaker 7: got some bounce through his game and he can create
- 8:02Speaker 7: his own shot, and he's a.
- 8:03Speaker 3: Good floor runner.
- 8:04Speaker 7: And defensively, like all guys, they've got to improve and
- 8:07Speaker 7: how to improved defensively by by dramatically upgrading your personal
- 8:12Speaker 7: technique and the NBA, just like in the NFL, showing defensively,
- 8:17Speaker 7: technique is everything. You've got to have technique, and even
- 8:21Speaker 7: in elite players, the slippage in their technique. And that's
- 8:24Speaker 7: why it's so important that you always say return to
- 8:27Speaker 7: fund when in doubt, return to fundamentals. You know, showing
- 8:30Speaker 7: in any sport, just bending your knees, just bending your
- 8:34Speaker 7: knees in any sport, including I'm showing in your career
- 8:38Speaker 7: as a fighter, is that it helps you wide get
- 8:40Speaker 7: leverage and maintain or established balance.
- 8:44Speaker 5: You're one hundred percent right.
- 8:46Speaker 6: And I can't tell you how many times we've watched
- 8:49Speaker 6: something like the NFL scouting combine draft process and what
- 8:54Speaker 6: do they say, especially with like pass rushers, especially with
- 8:58Speaker 6: offensive linemen, the big body guys, Oh, he's got great
- 9:02Speaker 6: knee bend. And you're just like, of course, what do
- 9:04Speaker 6: you mean great knee bend? Everyone bends their knees, but
- 9:06Speaker 6: it's not true.
- 9:07Speaker 5: Not everyone does.
- 9:08Speaker 6: Not every athlete plays at the level they're supposed to
- 9:11Speaker 6: with that knee bend. So it's hearing you say that
- 9:15Speaker 6: in the basketball context. That's what it stirs for me.
- 9:18Speaker 6: All those draft animals, Oh, man, great knee bend on
- 9:21Speaker 6: this guy. He's six', six he's three hundred and eighty.
- 9:24Speaker 6: Pounds but look how much knee bend he's, got well,
- 9:27Speaker 6: said and.
- 9:28Speaker 7: The reason why because you can change direction by doing,
- 9:31Speaker 7: that and then football get off the, ball and basketball
- 9:34Speaker 7: rotate to the, ball and those quick. Bursts these are
- 9:37Speaker 7: all things that sounds so, simple all, Right so let's
- 9:39Speaker 7: put it in context in about three weeks from now
- 9:42Speaker 7: when during THE nba, playoffs when so makes a corner,
- 9:46Speaker 7: three remember this or listeners ON Espn radio seven, Hundred
- 9:50Speaker 7: gordy said that part of the reason why the corner
- 9:53Speaker 7: three opens because one they got beat at the point
- 9:56Speaker 7: of attack at the, ball which creates scrambled. Defense and
- 9:59Speaker 7: probably the guy wrote tating showing didn't have his knees
- 10:01Speaker 7: bent to, start and then he was upright when he
- 10:04Speaker 7: get out he tried to recover to get out there
- 10:07Speaker 7: second too. Late nice knowing you three point.
- 10:09Speaker 6: Shot all, Right i'm gonna try to stay on clock
- 10:12Speaker 6: because we Have gordy for the next forty five minutes or,
- 10:15Speaker 6: so so we'll take a quick one here when we come.
- 10:18Speaker 6: Back The Oklahoma City thunder are once again the number
- 10:22Speaker 6: one seed in The. West they Joined Elite company by
- 10:26Speaker 6: winning their conference top seed back to back to back.
- 10:29Speaker 6: Years what does it mean in the grand or. Context
- 10:31Speaker 6: we'll Pick gordy's brain about. That it's The sean O'Connell
- 10:35Speaker 6: show ON espn seven hundred and ninety TWO.
- 10:37Speaker 4: Nfm as you were listening to The sean O'Connell show
- 10:46Speaker 4: from The Murdoch Hyundai studio OF espn seven hundred and
- 10:50Speaker 4: ninety two to one AF.
- 10:51Speaker 6: Am welcome back to The sean O'Connell, Show hour number
- 10:57Speaker 6: two on A. Thursdaydy this was brought to you by
- 11:01Speaker 6: our friends over at A Latin, industries Your Utah vlux. Dealer,
- 11:08Speaker 6: gordy we were we were talking before the hot lunch
- 11:11Speaker 6: came in about, WELL i wanted to talk About Oklahoma
- 11:15Speaker 6: city back to back to back number one seeds earned
- 11:19Speaker 6: in The Western. Conference and there's plenty of basketball left to.
- 11:24Speaker 6: Play you can't crown anyone. Yet but the only teams
- 11:28Speaker 6: that have also been the number one seed in their
- 11:31Speaker 6: respective conferences three years in a row are the eighty
- 11:35Speaker 6: four to eighty Eight Boston Celtics Good, team the eighty
- 11:41Speaker 6: four to Ninety Los Angeles, lakers ninety six to ninety
- 11:46Speaker 6: Eight Chicago, bulls The lakers did it in the early
- 11:51Speaker 6: oughts all the way to twenty, ten and the fifteen
- 11:54Speaker 6: to Seventeen Golden State, warriors all teams that won multiple
- 11:59Speaker 6: championship in those. Spans so are we seeing An Oklahoma
- 12:04Speaker 6: city team that is poised to become well compared.
- 12:08Speaker 5: To the likes of the SQUADS i just, Mentioned, No, okay.
- 12:16Speaker 7: NO i think this this year is that as great
- 12:19Speaker 7: as they, are it's hard to repeat in this modern.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Era so they're certainly.
- 12:25Speaker 7: CAPABLE i think things are gonna happen during the playoffs
- 12:29Speaker 7: that in their, world maybe, injury they don't shoot, straight
- 12:33Speaker 7: or the other guys play absolutely a great series against
- 12:35Speaker 7: them to knock them. Out And i'm leaning towards an
- 12:39Speaker 7: upset with The nuggets beating.
- 12:41Speaker 6: Them, Okay i'm leaning towards it potentially knocking OFF.
- 12:46Speaker 5: Okc.
- 12:47Speaker 7: Yeah, again you, know seven straight years now been DIFFERENT
- 12:52Speaker 7: nba champions and also after that seven straight years sewn
- 12:56Speaker 7: the defending champion did didn't get didn't get past the second.
- 13:00Speaker 7: Round so that's the metrics tell us right now in this.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Era so we'll.
- 13:07Speaker 7: See, now if you're, thunder you don't believe that that
- 13:09Speaker 7: we're gonna do it, again and also the Upstart spurs
- 13:13Speaker 7: are playing, great and so The celts and so The.
- 13:16Speaker 7: Pistons that those all those teams and in The. WEST
- 13:20Speaker 7: i like The nuggets only because how they're, structured the
- 13:24Speaker 7: way they. Play they play playoff basketball in the regular,
- 13:28Speaker 7: SEASON i, mean they're more of a half court, team
- 13:30Speaker 7: and in playoff, basketball that's what it. Is every possession,
- 13:33Speaker 7: matters and that's why that The, nuggets who but dramatically,
- 13:38Speaker 7: HURT i think they have a chance to get an.
- 13:41Speaker 6: Upset let's talk about The east for a brief second.
- 13:44Speaker 6: Here you wanted to say something about The Boston, celtics
- 13:47Speaker 6: who are the three and a half games.
- 13:49Speaker 5: Back they're.
- 13:50Speaker 6: Clinched, obviously they got a nice playoff spot right Behind.
- 13:54Speaker 5: Detroit BUT.
- 13:57Speaker 6: I don't think a lot of us for saw this
- 13:59Speaker 6: happening For, boston and at least not at this level very.
- 14:02Speaker 7: Much, Yeah so the reception was that it's going to
- 14:04Speaker 7: be almost a gap year for The celts when they
- 14:08Speaker 7: wait the return Of Jason. Tatum so their bookend, forwards
- 14:12Speaker 7: who are obsoually their, foundation Meaning Jason tatum And Jalen
- 14:16Speaker 7: brown did are missing one of. Them because remember last,
- 14:19Speaker 7: Year Jason tatum got hurt with a right torn achilles,
- 14:23Speaker 7: tendon and that set The celtics back in the playoffs
- 14:25Speaker 7: last year but also allegedly for this. Season but The
- 14:30Speaker 7: celts didn't. Cooperate led By Jalen brown and Also Peyton
- 14:34Speaker 7: pritchett And Derek, white they played sensational the whole year
- 14:38Speaker 7: and Then, tatum with his, diligence came back off the.
- 14:42Speaker 7: Injury most times it takes generally speaking ten months to a.
- 14:45Speaker 7: Year he came back much. Sooner he's played fifteen games
- 14:48Speaker 7: this year for The, celtics Meaning Jason. Tatum he's averaging
- 14:52Speaker 7: twenty one point eight points per, game nine point eight,
- 14:55Speaker 7: rebounds five point one assist in thirty two. Minutes and
- 14:59Speaker 7: that's been up lifting for. Them and that's WHY i
- 15:02Speaker 7: think they're going to win The Eastern conference because they're
- 15:06Speaker 7: they're first in THE nba showing in. Defense so The
- 15:10Speaker 7: celts number one in defense in THE nba and number
- 15:13Speaker 7: two in the defense is THE Okc. Thunder let's put
- 15:16Speaker 7: it In jazz. Basketball The, jazz unfortunately are the worst
- 15:20Speaker 7: team in THE nba, defensively ranked number. Thirty so if
- 15:24Speaker 7: you want to do well in the, playoffs you've got
- 15:27Speaker 7: to play defense in the regular.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Season the last point about The celts is That CATO.
- 15:36Speaker 7: Nivs cato From Utah, state the thirty nine pick of
- 15:40Speaker 7: the draft back in twenty twenty. One he's done a
- 15:42Speaker 7: good job for The. Celts he's averaging ten point three
- 15:45Speaker 7: points per game and eight point three, rebounds and Now
- 15:48Speaker 7: Nick fussevich joining the, team he's rolls slightly. Lesser but
- 15:52Speaker 7: If buchevitch can't go because of injuries and foul, Trouble
- 15:55Speaker 7: cato's done a good job for The. Celtics so if
- 15:58Speaker 7: you're a Local utahs aggie, fan you have somebody going
- 16:01Speaker 7: to watch in the.
- 16:02Speaker 6: Playoffs Kate, cunningham back For, detroit came back with a double.
- 16:08Speaker 5: Double not quite a triple, double but a double. Double.
- 16:11Speaker 5: UH i mean we.
- 16:12Speaker 6: Talked about, him not so much as of, late but
- 16:15Speaker 6: earlier in the season as a guy who you know
- 16:17Speaker 6: might at least be in AN mvp. Conversation the INJURY
- 16:20Speaker 6: i think kind of took him out of. That but
- 16:23Speaker 6: for his own team's, Sake Kate cunningham's presence with The Detroit,
- 16:27Speaker 6: pistons what does it mean for, them especially this time of?
- 16:30Speaker 3: Year huge because he has a winning.
- 16:34Speaker 7: Game he's a six to sixth point guard that's pass
- 16:37Speaker 7: happy and that he scores out of the offense with
- 16:40Speaker 7: the rhythm of the flow of. It and he gets
- 16:42Speaker 7: another dimension that he's almost like an old school back
- 16:46Speaker 7: down post up player as a point. Guard so when
- 16:49Speaker 7: teams try to double team in the mid post because
- 16:52Speaker 7: he's so, strong is that he's that the bet when
- 16:55Speaker 7: the best pass in THE nba is now throwing as ciss,
- 16:58Speaker 7: dimes not a dry, kick but off what the post up.
- 17:01Speaker 7: Situation so he gives them a huge benefit as far
- 17:04Speaker 7: as doing. That and The pistons this year they won
- 17:09Speaker 7: The Central. Division it's the first time in eighteen years
- 17:12Speaker 7: showing their division champions since two thousand and, eight and
- 17:17Speaker 7: so they have it going right. Now and let's not
- 17:20Speaker 7: forget about The. Pistons the twenty three to twenty fourth,
- 17:24Speaker 7: season they won fourteen games shown they were fourteen and
- 17:27Speaker 7: sixty eight and now two years, later with a different
- 17:31Speaker 7: roster and much, healthy they are fifty eight. Wins so
- 17:34Speaker 7: it's remarkable what they've done The pistons as far as
- 17:38Speaker 7: being that bad to suddenly being that. Good that's, coaching
- 17:42Speaker 7: that's player, development that's the management of drafting the right
- 17:47Speaker 7: guys and just generally speaking that everyone's working in harmony
- 17:51Speaker 7: to try to get this thing done CALLED Nba Champions.
- 17:56Speaker 5: Swinging things back to.
- 17:57Speaker 6: Focus back to The Utah jazz, here finishing out a
- 18:00Speaker 6: season where you know you're not making the, playoffs you're
- 18:03Speaker 6: tanking for a lottery. Pick it's it's working, out it
- 18:06Speaker 6: seems towards the end here in a way that is
- 18:09Speaker 6: at least favorable for the. Franchise but in the in
- 18:12Speaker 6: the final few, practices shoot arounds games after a season like,
- 18:17Speaker 6: this what Will hardy and his staff emphasizing with this
- 18:20Speaker 6: young group of.
- 18:21Speaker 7: Trying to play the right, way and the young group
- 18:23Speaker 7: really Is Cody. Williams Cody williams is the benefactor, truly
- 18:28Speaker 7: And Bryce, sensiba both those guys where the main scoring
- 18:34Speaker 7: options aren't playing for the last will say give it
- 18:37Speaker 7: take the last twenty five. Games so Now Cody williams
- 18:41Speaker 7: has taken over one of those, roles and he's done
- 18:43Speaker 7: a good job as far as being consistent and. Delivering
- 18:47Speaker 7: so in the big picture In april right, now he's
- 18:50Speaker 7: averaging fifteen point eight points per, game five point three
- 18:53Speaker 7: rebounds and more importantly five point eight, assist so which
- 18:57Speaker 7: means That Cody williams when he has the, ball he
- 18:59Speaker 7: makes quick decisions and makes a. Play what's the, PLAY
- 19:02Speaker 7: i don't. Know it could be a pull up, jumper
- 19:05Speaker 7: it could be a rainbow corner, three it could be
- 19:07Speaker 7: a back down kick it out to someone for an,
- 19:10Speaker 7: assist run the floor and score in. Transition so he's
- 19:13Speaker 7: done that and we know sense of. Ball that guy
- 19:15Speaker 7: off the. Bench he's a modern version of Former jazz
- 19:18Speaker 7: Player Jordan. Clarkson he's instant. Offense he's got a tremendous
- 19:22Speaker 7: range jump, shot and you get the feeling there when
- 19:25Speaker 7: he has the ball on perimeter when he's feet are,
- 19:27Speaker 7: said he can knock down that. Shot so the last
- 19:29Speaker 7: two games and the last few practices and shows alluding
- 19:32Speaker 7: to The jazz play tomorrow night AT Adulta center seven
- 19:36Speaker 7: thirty start against The Memphis. Grizzlies and they finished the
- 19:39Speaker 7: season On sunday In la versus The. Lakers and if
- 19:44Speaker 7: you're The, lakers you have to win that. Game so
- 19:47Speaker 7: it's gonna be an intense game from The lakers point of,
- 19:49Speaker 7: view from The jazz point of, view they're gonna try
- 19:52Speaker 7: to play hard and not, cooperate but it's gonna be.
- 19:54Speaker 7: INTERESTING i mentioned before about The jazz but also about
- 19:58Speaker 7: The grizzlies tomorrow, night just a reference point that there's
- 20:03Speaker 7: definitely a flavor Of Utah jazz basketball on The. Grizzlies
- 20:08Speaker 7: meaning remember back in the trading, Deadline Jaron jackson was
- 20:12Speaker 7: traded to The Utah jazz And john contract which worked
- 20:16Speaker 7: out well for The jazz For Walter, Clayton Taylor, Hendricks
- 20:21Speaker 7: Kyle anderson who's now one of T wolves right. Now
- 20:24Speaker 7: and So Walter clayton is a quick reminder of The
- 20:26Speaker 7: jazz fans because he's he was the pick last year
- 20:30Speaker 7: for The jazz at number twenty. One Walter clayton's averaging
- 20:34Speaker 7: nine point seven points per game and five point seven
- 20:39Speaker 7: assists in twenty five minutes at age twenty, Two so
- 20:42Speaker 7: he's the starting point guard as we speak right now
- 20:45Speaker 7: Because John morant has been.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Out the whole.
- 20:47Speaker 7: Season, Basically Joun rant for The grizzlies only played twenty
- 20:51Speaker 7: games this, year so it set them back. Dramatically and
- 20:55Speaker 7: they also the Former jazz Player Taylor hendricks again age twenty.
- 20:59Speaker 7: Two he's played in twenty six games this, year he's
- 21:02Speaker 7: averaging ten point six points per game for The, grizzlies
- 21:05Speaker 7: forty six point three fielder, percentage four point seven, rebounds
- 21:09Speaker 7: and one point four. Steals so again In grizzlies's point of,
- 21:12Speaker 7: view him And Walter clayton are definitely part of the.
- 21:15Speaker 7: Future so interesting about. Injuries Remember sean last year that
- 21:21Speaker 7: people forget that The grizzlies last season they were in the,
- 21:27Speaker 7: playoffs and people forget that what they. Did so they
- 21:31Speaker 7: went from being in the playoffs to now being right
- 21:35Speaker 7: now only having twenty five. Wins last season they lost
- 21:39Speaker 7: to The thunder in the first. Round they won forty
- 21:42Speaker 7: eight games to finish thirty four as the eighth.
- 21:44Speaker 3: Seed so there are playoff team.
- 21:46Speaker 7: Injuries last part of the Injuries Zach, edy who's a
- 21:49Speaker 7: very good young. Player so the question Of jazz basketball
- 21:52Speaker 7: can can The jazz frontcore players outplay out Muscle Zach.
- 21:57Speaker 7: Edy Zach edy got hurt stout the season Only he's
- 22:00Speaker 7: missed seventy one games this. Year, sean, So Zach, edy
- 22:04Speaker 7: this big guy And John, moran this unbelievable talented score though,
- 22:09Speaker 7: troubled has set back The grizzlies as far as them being,
- 22:13Speaker 7: Successful Zach edy thirteen point points by, game eleven, rebounds
- 22:18Speaker 7: has missed only played eleven games this. Season so that's
- 22:20Speaker 7: why The grizzlies in the thunder Tomorrow nets, game someone
- 22:23Speaker 7: has to.
- 22:23Speaker 6: Win shown when you talk about a team that goes
- 22:26Speaker 6: from playgu wins playoff squad to non, competitive non, interesting
- 22:36Speaker 6: we know for the fan base that can get obnoxious
- 22:40Speaker 6: for the players on the team, watching you, know valuable
- 22:44Speaker 6: pieces be traded, away a signal that, hey we're probably
- 22:48Speaker 6: gonna start rebuilding. Here how do those players manage? It
- 22:52Speaker 6: how do the coaches in that building manage?
- 22:53Speaker 7: It, well the players are saying that this is a
- 22:57Speaker 7: great opportunity for me to play out, there and that's
- 22:59Speaker 7: just right now for some of the young GUYS i
- 23:02Speaker 7: mentioned four Back Cuddy williams and those. Guys, now with that, said,
- 23:06Speaker 7: though you've got to be able to have a winning.
- 23:08Speaker 7: Game so the coach is, evaluating even though you might
- 23:12Speaker 7: have more chances, offensively what are you doing defensively and
- 23:15Speaker 7: what are some of the nuances that we talked about
- 23:18Speaker 7: in practice for the last six. Months are you doing
- 23:21Speaker 7: it in a? Game, also you're trying to play, well
- 23:25Speaker 7: that other teams are looking at you and that they
- 23:28Speaker 7: might sign you as far as a free agent or
- 23:30Speaker 7: trade for, you or if you're being waived by your present,
- 23:34Speaker 7: team that you get a fighting chance to make a
- 23:36Speaker 7: roster Next. October so in THE, NBA i call it
- 23:41Speaker 7: every day there is moving. Parts someone's moving, someplace whether
- 23:44Speaker 7: it's playing, time whether it's not, playing whether it's being,
- 23:47Speaker 7: traded whether it's, unfortunate is an, injury or whether it
- 23:50Speaker 7: come back from. Injury it's ALWAYS nba is always in,
- 23:54Speaker 7: motion every single. Day and the biggest thing right now
- 23:58Speaker 7: for these, teams for the teams in the play the
- 24:00Speaker 7: play in, tournament is that can they advance they make the,
- 24:04Speaker 7: playoffs meaning what can this, seventh eighth or ninth seed
- 24:09Speaker 7: win games to get to the playoffs and get an,
- 24:12Speaker 7: upset and can the the first and second? Seed can
- 24:15Speaker 7: they hold up everybody and they eventually they play for
- 24:18Speaker 7: THE Nba, finals which we know is absolutely.
- 24:21Speaker 6: Exciting Gordon chase is our guest here for a few
- 24:25Speaker 6: more minutes on The sean O'Connell, show whenby Watch Victor
- 24:29Speaker 6: Webbin yama needs twenty more. Minutes this season needs to
- 24:32Speaker 6: play twenty minutes in a. Game one of the final two,
- 24:36Speaker 6: games and It's dallas On friday and Then denver On.
- 24:40Speaker 6: Sunday both of those are home games for The. Spurs
- 24:45Speaker 6: we already talked about On. Tuesday, yeah they're gonna let
- 24:47Speaker 6: him play in one of these. Things which, One, gordon
- 24:50Speaker 6: if you're choosing to if you're picking one of those
- 24:53Speaker 6: games to Let victor Weminan yama play like a, half
- 24:57Speaker 6: which game are you going to put him?
- 24:58Speaker 3: In? Dallas? Yeah dallas, Absolutely.
- 25:01Speaker 7: Dallas, yeah playing Against dallas versus playing Against valacunis at
- 25:07Speaker 7: the backup center For denver And Nikolai.
- 25:09Speaker 6: JOKIC i got so mad the other night when we
- 25:12Speaker 6: were at That jazz game And valanciunas came in and
- 25:16Speaker 6: he just starts bullying people, around and, LOOK i understand
- 25:20Speaker 6: that's his presence in THE, nba and good for him
- 25:22Speaker 6: figuring out his role and finding a way to stay
- 25:25Speaker 6: on rosters and. Stuff the reason it made me upset
- 25:28Speaker 6: was because The Utah jazz and they were playing a
- 25:31Speaker 6: pretty small lineup that night as they're tanking their lives.
- 25:34Speaker 5: Away but The Utah jazz have no physical.
- 25:38Speaker 6: Response there's no enforcer to answer for that to, say,
- 25:43Speaker 6: no we're not going to get pushed around by this
- 25:45Speaker 6: big bearded, freak and they just kind of took, it
- 25:48Speaker 6: and that that's hard for somebody like me to, watch
- 25:51Speaker 6: especially when there's you, know you're not trying to win the,
- 25:54Speaker 6: game at least lose with some, dignity not letting This
- 25:57Speaker 6: Eastern european guy pummel.
- 25:59Speaker 7: You, agreed, absolutely so they basically in that game they
- 26:03Speaker 7: got punked by backup Center, vallatiunis now in fantas The Kyle.
- 26:09Speaker 7: Philipowski he, battled but he's not physically able to do it.
- 26:13Speaker 7: Now next year in jazz, basketball they'll Be Jaron, jackson
- 26:16Speaker 7: and next year In jazz basketball it should Be Walker.
- 26:19Speaker 7: Kessler if The jazz doube signed the Town bully Showing
- 26:23Speaker 7: Yusuf nurkic The Bosian, Beasts so that'd be interesting to
- 26:27Speaker 7: see next year if nurki is on The jazz roster
- 26:31Speaker 7: playing Against valaciunis and shows alluding to all these big
- 26:34Speaker 7: guys from The baltic countries Meaning lithuania Meaning bosnia Meaning
- 26:42Speaker 7: Mother russia Meaning. Slovenia these guys are all big. Bodies
- 26:47Speaker 7: they get hit all the.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Time perfectly.
- 26:49Speaker 7: Normal they start hitting people on the layup, line all,
- 26:53Speaker 7: right and it's perfectly. Normal, sure, laughing it's perfectly. Normal
- 26:57Speaker 7: that's where they that's their. CULTURE i think it's, great
- 27:01Speaker 7: and that's why you have to be physical to the
- 27:04Speaker 7: questions always as, shown how CAN i be physical in a,
- 27:08Speaker 7: sport whether it's THE nba or THE, nfl be physical
- 27:11Speaker 7: without what getting getting fouls or erris called against. Me
- 27:17Speaker 7: that's why it's so. IMPORTANT i could have having control,
- 27:20Speaker 7: frenzy that you're playing in a control, state yet you're
- 27:24Speaker 7: playing what and if it's yet. Frenzy and that's why
- 27:27Speaker 7: technique and the thought process is absolutely. Critical and in playoff,
- 27:32Speaker 7: basketball the worst feel you can have to have shown
- 27:34Speaker 7: in a playoff, game whether it's THE nfl or whether
- 27:37Speaker 7: it's THE nba above sea. Level after a loss on
- 27:41Speaker 7: the road and a playoff game above sea level thirty
- 27:44Speaker 7: five thousand, feet you say these awful words shown as
- 27:47Speaker 7: you watch the, FILM i wish we were more physical
- 27:50Speaker 7: during the game the game is. Over it's the worst
- 27:54Speaker 7: feeling in the world shown in THE nfl and THE
- 27:57Speaker 7: nba in a playoff game that we were less physical
- 28:02Speaker 7: or sean we committed so many physical and mental errors
- 28:06Speaker 7: because we're over physical to the other.
- 28:08Speaker 6: Stream, Okay i'd rather be on that end of the
- 28:12Speaker 6: spectrum than on the one where you get bullied.
- 28:13Speaker 5: Around but your point is well.
- 28:15Speaker 6: Made you got you gotta find the right level of, physicality,
- 28:19Speaker 6: which by the, way is something that The Sacramento kings
- 28:21Speaker 6: are being looked at. For this is where my persecution
- 28:26Speaker 6: for The Utah, jazz the complex we all have developed comes.
- 28:30Speaker 6: Out The kings are leading one oh one one late
- 28:35Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter and intentional foul On Seth curry
- 28:42Speaker 6: to send him to the line and make it easy
- 28:45Speaker 6: to lose the. Game that is tanking of the highest.
- 28:49Speaker 6: Order you're not even letting the natural run of play determined.
- 28:53Speaker 6: Things you're deliberately fouling in order to let a team beat.
- 28:57Speaker 6: You Doug christie and The Sacramento kings have said, no, no, no,
- 29:02Speaker 6: no that was a. Mistake wasn't supposed to do. That
- 29:05Speaker 6: the NBA's looking into. This if The jazz are getting
- 29:09Speaker 6: fined for resting people in a second half or in
- 29:12Speaker 6: the fourth, quarter this has got to be fine worthy as.
- 29:14Speaker 5: Well and by the, WAY.
- 29:15Speaker 6: I i don't think that THE nba should have ever
- 29:18Speaker 6: handed out these fins because even encourage.
- 29:20Speaker 5: Tanking are The kings going to get a hit for?
- 29:22Speaker 3: This yes they.
- 29:22Speaker 7: Are, YEAH i would, Say i'm just guessing one hundred
- 29:25Speaker 7: thousand dollars fine for doing. That And sean, said remember
- 29:29Speaker 7: he Said Seth, curry not Se. Steph yeah not yet,
- 29:33Speaker 7: zactly that's his. Brother, Also Seth curry is an eighty
- 29:37Speaker 7: six percent foul, shooter just like VERY si with his
- 29:40Speaker 7: brother who's also one of he's the greatest shooter of all.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Time so he went to the.
- 29:45Speaker 7: Line he makes both and it affects it almost assured
- 29:49Speaker 7: that The Sacramento kings and interesting. Showing remember The kings
- 29:53Speaker 7: and The jazz are tied for the fourteenth seed in
- 29:55Speaker 7: The west at twenty one and fifty, nine so with
- 29:59Speaker 7: two games, left so they're both. Battling also shown for
- 30:02Speaker 7: a side, NOTE i think that The kings will probably
- 30:06Speaker 7: move on From Doug christie's after the, season so it'll
- 30:09Speaker 7: probably be a coaching change in The, Sacramento but they
- 30:13Speaker 7: also have to change what many of their. Roster right,
- 30:15Speaker 7: now they're at the second, apron it's through the first,
- 30:18Speaker 7: apron staring right at, it and the roster is Absolutely
- 30:20Speaker 7: bizarre's one thing about The jazz right now, though is
- 30:23Speaker 7: that They jazz have money to spend if they choose
- 30:26Speaker 7: to this. Offseason we need what in free agency now
- 30:29Speaker 7: with The Sacramento, kings it's the worst scenario is that
- 30:33Speaker 7: you're ready overpaid on so many of these guys right.
- 30:36Speaker 7: Now and remember The kings and fintas to The kings,
- 30:38Speaker 7: shown we left out one guy's name purposely and we
- 30:40Speaker 7: all love this. Game Doma sabonis. Member he's out the. Whole, yeah,
- 30:44Speaker 7: basically so Without, sabonis there's no steadiness in the lane
- 30:48Speaker 7: and also in the locker. Room and that's part of
- 30:50Speaker 7: the reason why they're absolutely struggling The Sacramento. Kings and
- 30:54Speaker 7: you can make a discussion showing The Sacramento kings are
- 30:57Speaker 7: the worst run franchise in THE. Nba for, example they
- 31:01Speaker 7: missed the playoffs now eighteen at the last nineteen seasons
- 31:05Speaker 7: and now with this, year will be nineteen times in
- 31:08Speaker 7: the last twenty seasons. Shown so The kings have only
- 31:12Speaker 7: had one playoff for, appearents including this. Season it's over
- 31:16Speaker 7: in twenty years and that was back in twenty twenty
- 31:19Speaker 7: three When Mike brown was the coach of. Them so
- 31:22Speaker 7: nineteen last twenty years The kings have not been in the,
- 31:25Speaker 7: playoffs which meant shown they drafted high in the. Lottery
- 31:29Speaker 7: often they got the wrong. Guy most. Times it's hard to.
- 31:32Speaker 7: Do it's, Impossible. Sean the equivalent of AN nfl of
- 31:37Speaker 7: The Sacramento kings is the football In New York.
- 31:39Speaker 5: Jets do you agree That browns the?
- 31:42Speaker 3: Draft browns, okay and The?
- 31:44Speaker 7: Jets The jets always get it wrong for the last.
- 31:48Speaker 7: Show AND i don't exaggerate forty. YEARS i don't want
- 31:52Speaker 7: it forty years a Torture jet. Fan OH i, am,
- 31:55Speaker 7: YEAH i, AM i admit.
- 31:56Speaker 3: IT i.
- 31:57Speaker 7: Am they always get it, wrong even though so you,
- 32:00Speaker 7: know they switched, coaches, management you, know, whatever they get it.
- 32:04Speaker 3: Wrong you can't make this.
- 32:06Speaker 6: Up it's wild to think how some franchises can seemingly
- 32:11Speaker 6: always get it right the thunder and then there's some
- 32:13Speaker 6: who always get it wrong Correct and it's in every
- 32:16Speaker 6: league examples of these every.
- 32:19Speaker 5: League, Yes and there's the two ends of the.
- 32:22Speaker 6: Spectrum it would it would make a lot more, sense
- 32:25Speaker 6: is if, like even on the losing, end, right it
- 32:28Speaker 6: kind of rotated through because oh, yeah they, suffered they
- 32:33Speaker 6: got they hired the wrong, coach they hired the wrong general.
- 32:35Speaker 6: Manager when they got rid of that, guy, though then
- 32:37Speaker 6: things started to turn. Around but there are certain teams
- 32:41Speaker 6: where they hired the wrong, coach the wrong general, manager
- 32:43Speaker 6: they draft the wrong, guys and then they replaced that,
- 32:47Speaker 6: personnel and then they do it again with the new.
- 32:49Speaker 6: Guys so they were wrong, again and then they were wrong,
- 32:51Speaker 6: again and then they were wrong.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Again crazy devastating to a.
- 32:55Speaker 7: Franchise if you're picking the, lottery will say consecutive years
- 33:00Speaker 7: and you get both, Wrong, yeah both wrong picks to
- 33:03Speaker 7: the words where they don't help you win within a
- 33:09Speaker 7: period of, Say i'm trying to be, objective within one
- 33:13Speaker 7: to three, years as far as jamalthew improvement and hopefully
- 33:15Speaker 7: those guys picked in the lottery of any sport they
- 33:18Speaker 7: help you get to the playoffs relatively. Soon now, Again
- 33:23Speaker 7: i'm painting the chemist right now with one broad, STROKE i.
- 33:26Speaker 7: Am but if you get it wrong back to back,
- 33:29Speaker 7: years it sets you. Back showing just gently, speaking five.
- 33:32Speaker 7: Years got you're talking.
- 33:34Speaker 6: About we've been Talking Maclin, celebriani a teenager for The
- 33:41Speaker 6: San Jose, sharks hit one hundred points this.
- 33:44Speaker 5: Season crazy The.
- 33:45Speaker 6: Pittsburgh pirates just signed a kid to a nine year
- 33:49Speaker 6: extension five days after they call him.
- 33:52Speaker 5: Up he's a.
- 33:53Speaker 6: Teenager THE nba has been a young man's league and
- 33:58Speaker 6: a kids league in some ways for a long. Time
- 34:02Speaker 6: and you, know Obviously Cooper flags incredibly young and is
- 34:04Speaker 6: doing great. Things but being eighteen or nineteen and already
- 34:10Speaker 6: excelling among those grown man peers like we're seeing sometimes in,
- 34:15Speaker 6: basketball sometimes in, hockey even in, baseball which is very
- 34:19Speaker 6: much an older man's game because it's so. Skilled when
- 34:24Speaker 6: you see those, guys when you see the teenagers that
- 34:27Speaker 6: can do, it what's it like to coach, them to
- 34:31Speaker 6: be coach against, them to be around, them it's just
- 34:34Speaker 6: insane to me to.
- 34:35Speaker 3: Watch, yeah very.
- 34:36Speaker 7: Much, one they have unbelievable talent level and that usually,
- 34:40Speaker 7: speaking they're very. Athletic just generally, speaking they have bounced
- 34:44Speaker 7: to their game and that they're able To most of
- 34:48Speaker 7: them again are offensive, minded that they can create their own.
- 34:53Speaker 7: SHOT i just describe right now for BYU Aj, Debanser
- 34:56Speaker 7: so he'd be a classic example of a guy that
- 34:58Speaker 7: we're describing right.
- 34:59Speaker 3: Now, Wow and that coaching.
- 35:01Speaker 7: These, guys it's uplifting that these guys are franchise difference.
- 35:05Speaker 7: Makers and when beyonmber who turned around the franchise of
- 35:09Speaker 7: The San Antonio spurs where his trusted Psychic Stefan, castle
- 35:14Speaker 7: both those guys in. Play so when you have young
- 35:16Speaker 7: guys around you also there's an element of an. Enthusiasm
- 35:20Speaker 7: now hopefully these young guys have a mixture of, talent,
- 35:24Speaker 7: youthfulness but also being young. Maturity and that's fair that
- 35:30Speaker 7: when you're twenty years, old you're viewal well differently it's
- 35:32Speaker 7: someone that's thirty years. Old and when you're quote when
- 35:35Speaker 7: you're a single guy versus being, married generally, speaking there's always.
- 35:38Speaker 3: EXCEPTIONS i get.
- 35:39Speaker 7: It the more times you're a little bit more freer
- 35:42Speaker 7: versus more when you're married or with children that you
- 35:47Speaker 7: hopefully you're more steady in your and your everyday life
- 35:53Speaker 7: is again is always an. EXCEPTION i get, It but most,
- 35:56Speaker 7: times and so coaching these guys is very. Uplifting, However
- 36:00Speaker 7: sean in the in THE nba AND nfl, playoffs it's
- 36:04Speaker 7: a man's. League so the draft is what a youthful
- 36:08Speaker 7: part of, it but you get the playoff basketball men
- 36:12Speaker 7: prevail and that's, experience and that's mental. Toughness that's absolutely
- 36:18Speaker 7: respecting the. Game as far as the, possession whether THE
- 36:21Speaker 7: nfl you're in the red zone or in basketball with
- 36:24Speaker 7: the under three minute mark of AN nba playoff, game
- 36:27Speaker 7: you've got to be able to. Execute you just can't
- 36:29Speaker 7: be free flowing because you feel like, it because every
- 36:32Speaker 7: possession does, matter especially in the fourth quarter of a playoff,
- 36:36Speaker 7: game and The stars in the fourth quarter they have
- 36:39Speaker 7: to guard their position to outplay the Other stars to
- 36:43Speaker 7: win a, close especially road.
- 36:45Speaker 5: Game, gordy what's your list? Today all our list?
- 36:49Speaker 7: Today with the element Of Victor wen beyond in this list,
- 36:53Speaker 7: eventually but this is a a dozen of the all
- 36:57Speaker 7: times SHOWN nba leaders In korea block, shots so the
