  Speaker 2: Listen live every weekday morning from seven to ten on
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Altitude Sports Radio ninety two to five and on the
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Altitude Sports Radio App.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: We prepared to win the game, play the Young Guys late.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: The performances by those guys is really impressive. You know,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: you get David Roddy with thirteen rebounds, seven offensive rebounds,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Curtis thirteen points, pick eleven and six playing the point
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: guard position, and Julian Starrather twenty five points just building
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: off what he's been doing throughout the season. So yeah,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I was really really proud of those guys. And we
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: went with the Young Guys late and they held on.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: I would say what really stands out to me is
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: whoever plays for us? We had thirty assists, whoever plays
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: for us? You know, we had nineteen offensive rebounds with
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: this group, but after the rebounds, making the right plays
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: for each other and if you take a lot of
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: open shots, you're bound to score a lot of points.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: And that's what we've done the whole season.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, how about David Roddy played great?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Can we take a step back as Nuggets fans and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: we're being very, very critical, because this is a championship team,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a roster that aspires to win right, aspires to get
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: there at least. But can we take a step back
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and look at what the coaching staff has done this
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: year and let me just lay it out for you again,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: David Adelman, I don't need to tell you this because
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: he's undergone a ton of scrutiny for how he rotates
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: his lineup in a season in which Aaron Gordon has
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: played fewer than half the games He's played thirty nine games,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a season in which Christian Brown's played half the games,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: A season in which Nikola Jokic missed the most games
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of his career a month. Caam Johnson missed a month,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Peyton Wattson has missed two months. Jonas Valanciunis has missed
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the months a month. The injuries abound in This team
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: notches the second most wins infranchise, is the most road
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: wins twenty six in franchise history, third longest win streak
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: in franchise history, occupies the third seed when no one
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: even expected in the state top four. When that January
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: injury bug hit. I can't say enough about the coaching
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: job and the ability to keep the team motivated. And
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: some of you may be saying, well, no, you deserve
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: all the credit in the world as a coaching staff.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Some of you may be saying, what.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Mah's that's impressive, dude. But in your defense, I've seen
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: it too. We've seen it all year. There's a lot
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: of people questioning Adam and hell I did for a
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: while there, like when they were closing out when they
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: weren't closing out games, But overall, to take everything that
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: you set into account and then realize they won one
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: more game more than they did the year they won
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: the championship is pretty nuts. I can also give credit
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: to somebody else, Vic Adam and this staff deserves a
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: lot of credit. You know who else does? Jamal freaking
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Murray deserves a lot of credit because for all of
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: like the inconsistencies inconsistencies he had, whether it was just
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: straight up staying healthy or playing well, he not only
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: stayed healthy, he was consistently great almost every night. And
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I think there's no way you're here without him.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: What's holding it together? What do you guys think about
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: this matchup? It is Nuggets and t Wolves Game one
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: this Saturday one thirty Ball Arena. The Denver Nuggets and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the t Wolves. Over the last four years, since twenty
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: twenty two playoffs included, they've met twenty eight times, more
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: than any two foes in the NBA. Each team has
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: won fourteen games. So it's right down the middle. If
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you're a Nuggets fan, yeah, you should be concerned. That's
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a tough team. If you're a t Wolves fan, yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you got a lot to prove here. They've been to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the Western Conference finals two straight years. They've beaten Denver.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: They know they can beat Denver. They're not afraid of Denver.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: If you're Denver, tell me how you feel good?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Most you start feel good? Feel good. I feel that
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: it gets are a better team. I feel they're going
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to find their groove here. I think they already have
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: found their groove a little bit. And listen, I'm not
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: gonna say it's easy. It's a first round matchup, man,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: if you're a for real team, and again, I think
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: there's still some questions out there, but I feel good
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: about them. If you're a for real team, VIC, you
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: take it head on and you go that's it. Most
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: take it head on and you beat them.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Here's how I put it, this is how I feel
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: about the matchup, and it's less to do with Minnesota
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: and more to do with Denver, because I don't think
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Minnesota is as good as they were two years ago.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I think they're a worst team. But let me ask
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: you this, Vic, does Minnesota have any chance at winning
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: a championship?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: No?
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Does Denver?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Then what are we scared of?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Sometimes?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Though, just on the surface, it's like, if that's the thing,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: then you should be able to take care of business.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Again, I'll go back to what Nikola Jokicic told me
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to my face five years ago when I presented this
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: question to him before then it's won a championship. I said,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: is this team capable of winning the championship? And he
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: said it comes down to matchups in the playoffs And
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I go, what do you mean? He goes, who you
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: play matters? He said that I didn't say that. No,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: he said that it does.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: It does.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So I'd beligned to you and everybody listening to the show.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: If I like this matchup, I don't. I think like
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: pulling tea.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: But Vick, I would argue this, then if you can
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: get by this matchup, your second round matchup is much
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: more advantageous to you than the If you're on the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: other side of the bracket. Now you may have an
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: opponent that you like to beat better in Houston and
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: round one, but then your second round opponent would likely
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: be Oklahoma City. Yes, this way it's going to be
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Minnesota and then San Antonio, whom you've beaten in every
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: way possible this year. Listen to Joe six one way
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: half doesn't six one way half does in the other.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Bro just take ten seconds of your time. Go to
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: the text line. Don't read it out loud, but read
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: text just for a moment. I want you guys to
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: read it. Read that and tell me what you think.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Tell me what you think of that text.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen this picture.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, well then if you see if you've seen
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: the photo, you know exactly.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Can you show me the photo?
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I don't even know. Am I allowed to google that
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: while I'm at work?
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Let me see if I can find the photos?
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, that one is it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Is it nice to do inside stuff on a radio? No,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it's not.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: But I just wanted you guys to see it. That's
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: just that's all I wanted. I just wanted that's all
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: we can move on.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Is that for? Is that for? Is that for a role?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Obviously here you go.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Careful where you're putting that careful, but he said that
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: that is going to be yokicch in this series. Alright, alright,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: any the points going on? Point is this? Okay? The
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: point is the Nuggets are better than Minnesota. They beat
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: them three out of four games this year, three out
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: of four.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Hey, guys, if I'm the Denver Nuggets and I'm sorry,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: were you in the middle of the thought? Were you
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the thought? If you want to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: finish it, well.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying they beat them three out of four
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: games this year. I don't think Minnesota is as good
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: as last year. They have I know they have one
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: thing here. They have Aunt. Okay, and after Aunt, who
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: do they have? Julius Randall. I'm not scared at Julius.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: This is where you and I are gonna I disagree
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: with you. You're underrating some of the talent they possessed.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Jade McDaniels is a hell of a player. He's taking
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a step forward in his offensive skills this year. It's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a good player. He's the guy that dunked late in
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that game seven.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: I haven't forgotten that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Hope the Nuggets have it. That's a good late. He
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: don't Dante di Vincenzo. If he starts hitting, he can
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: hurt you. That's a good player. Hey, nas read off
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the bench, Are you kidding? It's a good player. The
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Nuggets will have their hands full. But if I'm for you,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: let me say this first. If I'm demp my approach
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to this series is very simple. I saw on Christmas
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Night one of the best NBA games of the season,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and Anthony Edwards. Do you remember the shot he made
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: from the corner the three to tie it up and
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: send it to overtime.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: My approach to this series is I eliminate Anthony Edwards
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: from the get go. I double him every time he
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: touches the ball, and I challenge his patience. I challenge
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the other players on that team and just the frustration
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that comes with being doubled every time.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: See Joker faces.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Doubles, right, Joker faces doubles and the Nuggets have had
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to They've had to prove that they can win when
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: he gets doubled. But the difference is Joker's very good
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: at getting out of.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: A dand and you mentioned something that I think is
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: an underrated part of this joker has the mental wherewithal
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: to understand I don't need to score every possession. I
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: can let my other guys do. I don't know if
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards is he mentally allow himself to not be no.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Way in the seven game series. And that's why I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: say you double him from game one. Yeah, there's no chance.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You know Anthony Edwards, he's pretty. He likes himself from
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards. Yes, Anthony likes Anthony. Yeah, there's no way
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: if you take the ball out of his hands and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: double him, he will be content in scoring fourteen tonight?
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I agree with you? Or are you gonna say much?
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: My question is for Vic health wise, to the best
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: of your greasy haired knowledge, where are we going to
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: be Saturday afternoon at one pm?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna be fine?
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you briddled haired pansy, what you got.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: For everyone's gonna be fine? I don't know. Yeah, I
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: don't know how fine Peyton Watson will be per se,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: but I think he is. He could have played yesterday, Okay,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: does does concern me that he's only played two games
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: in two months. That concerns me.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Ag need any more? Does he need any more massaging
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: of the dude?
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: How much more time?
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: You know? You know, the the moment, I don't know.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: If I don't, I don't know. Okay, I don't know.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: What's bob.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Here's where I am on this here and follow me
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: along this well, bubble wrap these guys. Let's just just
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in case you know, don't you know? You can only
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: playing twenty four minutes guys to the playoffs?
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, win or go home.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: If it's not meant to be. It's not meant to be.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: If you're gonna start playing the minutes game in this
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: time of year, you ain't gonna go anywhere.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: I agree?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Do you agree with me?
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Does every Nuggets fan agree with me? If we're gonna
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: play this? Oh touchy feeley, let's watch out. We don't
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: want to overplay. I mean, what are we doing here?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Here's are the playoffs? Here's what and if your body
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: betrays you, it's not your fault. I'm not blaming anyone.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that it's not meant to be.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Here's how I handle it. You play everything normal. If
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: you're up thirty points and you're scheduled by rotation to
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: go back into the game, maybe you sit down there. Sure,
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: maybe then sure, But if we're in a grind and
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: we're we're in the middle of like a back and
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: forth game, you play.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: So I'll tell you what. I'm not gonna pull the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: crap that Steve Kurr just said yesterday. He told the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: world when I asked about Joe Steph Curry and all
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: his leaders and they're gonna play in this playing game
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday, and he said, yeah, I'm not gonna play
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: in full minutes. You know, you're basically saying we don't
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: want to.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Here's a term where I'm trying to win.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: If I could have manipulated the schedule at the end
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: of the year for us to miss this play in,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: I would have, but we were so far out of
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: that next spot now it's impossible. Yeah, that's what he said.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Thousand percent on thousand percent. Hey, somebody pointed this out.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I want to remind everybody, Vick, I know you'll be
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: there Saturday. Get your butts down there early, because correct
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong. Don't the Rapids play Inner Miami
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: at two thirty a mile high on Saturday as well.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what a weekend and the Abs. Since
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets were playing on Saturday, will the ass play
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: on Sunday?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, they'll play on Sunday.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know what time, So the ABS will open
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the playoffs on Sunday, the Nuggets on Saturday day. The
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Colorado Rapids. What does the schedule say? It's the ageterm Miami. Yeah,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: two thirty. Wow, Wait a minute, dude, I don't like that.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: That's at the same time.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, downtown is going to be a crazy place. Brett.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: How much money you got in your wallet?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I wanted to go to that game?
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: I have forty dollars.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Actually I've got eighty bucks. Okay, you and I can
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: we find can we find like, uh, just see the
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: rapit cart or a restaurant space for one hundred and
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: twenty bucks and open something up for Saturday because we'll
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: make a mint. Dude, like those Downtown's going to be crawling.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Would you see the Rapids put six goals on Houston
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: over the weekend?
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Hey, you know what, when we talked to the coach
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: before the season started, you remember that when we were
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: like he just got introduced. Remember what he told us.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: He's like, we are going to play a fun brand
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: of soccer. We're going to score with six on them,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: six to two. Over there are aggressive.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I don't like the fact that Messi is here at
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the same time of this Nuggets game. I wanted to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: go see more.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: No what oh no?
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: What?
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Well? Dig this? The Rockies also host the Dodgers that night.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: What is going on at six ten the Dodgers, It's
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: game two of that series Freeland versus Sheen allegedly.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Hang on a second, hang on a second.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: So Messi is gonna be playing against the Rapids at
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Mile High Stadium at the same time the Nuggets open
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: their playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Only two three
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: hours later. Four hours later have the Rockies taking on
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: the Dodgers at Course Field, and to.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Day later, Javs do their playoff thing.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: And most what dude, here's the thing. You can do
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: a double dipper roo with the Rockies being the finish up.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: But it's impossible. I don't think any humans ever accomplished
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: a triple dipperoux. I don't think it's ever happened.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Well, you'd miss the bulk of a game.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: If you If you could move the nuggets like eleven
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: eleven thirty. You could triple dipperou that mother. So uh.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: When we return talking about this matchup with the t
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Wolves no longer potential solidified. That is your first round
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: matchup the Aves. It looks on the surface like two teams.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: There could be three different ones that they play. Now
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: a couple of teams are dropped out, and I.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Want to break this downs for tonight as well.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: And we'll get to the keys to the game, which
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: I'm assuming is stay healthy and don't take pucks off
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: the face.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: A little bit more. And I've got a clever little
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: thing for old Vittorial.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: So we'll get to that in just a couple of minutes.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: I can listen to us anywhere in the Altitude Sports
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Radio app. It is powered by the Will Height Law
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Firm inje Lur's going to Will Heightewinds dot com. That's
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: will Hepwinds dot com. Lets you see my.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: What this is gonna be good on the podcast.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: It's an iceman Paul Wall. This song was so big
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: for like three months, I think I have a grill.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: I mean I did it, Nellie, I'm sure you did.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I took the the stick of gum with the foil.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: You take the gum out, you put the foil in
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: your mouth. You make it look like you got a grill.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: I did it. I did it. Vic? Oh my god, Vic,
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: Not only is that not a grill?
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: How did you have that?
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: On command?
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Vic turned around, reached in a top pocket and had
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Austin Power's teeth ready to go?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Why do you carry those around with you? Why do
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: you do things? Why are you the way that you are? Why? Why? Why?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Nancy Currigan? Why why? By the way, that was my
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: photo for my credential for uh so, for those for
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: the US Amateur.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: When the US Amateur gimere and they needed.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: No it was the Freddy Freeman teeth. I thought, wasn't
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: it the team I.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Took and they said, we need pictures so we could
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: put them on your credentials during the golf round, so
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you walk around with these credentials on. And so I said,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: donor em, I'll send in your photo. And I sent
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: in a picture of me with these teeth and he
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: wore those great.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I wore I wore it around my neck the entire tournament.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Hey, mos as we are talking about, you know, matchups
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: like the the Nuggets are, they're gonna get Minnesota and
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: then they're likely going to get San Antonio if they
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: move on, and then they'll likely get the Thunder if
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: they move on after that, then who knows. Here's the
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: situation that the Abs face right now. They are guaranteed
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: the one seed. So it looks like it's a two
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: horse race between the Kings and the Preds because the
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Jets just lost and they needed basically to win out
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: they haven't.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: They're they're they're done. Just kids them done.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: The Sharks looked like they were it, but the Sharks
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: lost three straight. They're done.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're done. They're done. Saint Louis is done. Seattle's
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: obviously eliminated. Saint Louis is totally eliminated. But it's just
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the skin. It's like a two point eight percent chance
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: for the Jets of the Sharks. Consider them done.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: So the Kings sit there and then second wild card spot.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: They're at eighty seven points. They have now won four straight.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: They are one point up on Nashville as eighty six
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: with a game in hand on Nashville. But here's the
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: interesting thing. They're chasing Anaheim. There is no guarantee that
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Anaheim makes it. Now they likely do. Likely they're at
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: ninety points, but again, the Kings are three back with
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: a game in hand on Anaheim.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Dude, the Ducks have been steady struggling down the stretch.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: You may want them in the first round for crying
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: out a loud you know what I mean. Yeah, you
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: may want LA to catch Anaheim because they are steady struggling.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: They're not beating anybody the way they're playing right now,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: not chance.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: So the Avs and what happens with them these final
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: few games is inconsequential, but standings watching really does matter
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: for who you want to face or who you're gonna
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: get in that first round matchup. Now, I think overall
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: most it doesn't matter. I think the Avs take care
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: of whoever they play pretty easily.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Their preferences for which teams might be better than others
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: or whatever, but it's not like any of these teams
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: pose a real threat. It feels like to the Apps, well, I.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Mean, you're either gonna be, you know, staying in Anaheim,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: or you're gonna be staying in LA, or you're gonna
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: be staying you know, in Nashville. I mean, it's I
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: guess six to one way half does in the other.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: The teams all present their own problems. The best goalie
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: left of those three teams is Yuci Sorrows and the
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: the Nashville Predators. But it doesn't mean the Aps wouldn't
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: go in there and wax them too, right. I mean,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: all these teams have really had to step it up
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: down the stretch. The only one that really has is
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: the Kings. They've got one regulation loss in their last
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: ten games, and same with Vegas. By the way, the
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: torts thing really worked. It didn't work though in the Island,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: did it? They fire a wall, they hired de Boor
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: and he promptly lost them out of the postseason already.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: But to me, look, the Preds are five to four
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: and one of the last ten. The Ducks are three,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: five and two. I mean, these teams are scuffling down
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: the stretch when it matters the.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Most, you know, the beauty of the playoffs, And we've
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: talked so much today about who you prefer to play
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: and who you're gonna get, it doesn't matter. I sort
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: of resigned myself to the anxiety is going to be
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: there no matter what, No matter who, no matter where. Right,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: there's no like Mulligan's. There's no easy way. It's supposed
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: to be hard.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Do you remember when the Abs they went sixteen and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: four and it felt like a war?
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Right, it did it. It's just the way it is.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Man. Can you imagine that you go sixteen and four
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: in the postseason and it felt like every damn game
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: you're pulling. I mean, dude, that Blues series if you
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: think back to it, height, I mean.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It had every like, oh my everything it had just
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: like Cogrey and the Saint Louis fans and Bennington being
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Bennington and tight tight Yeah.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Tuco, you're you're you're sixteen and four and it's
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: like God, it's like you walk out wounded. You're like,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: what the hell are we doing? It's hard. It's hard
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: to win Stanley Cup playoff hockey guys.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Sorry, I just I heard to go and now I
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: can't stop thinking of tuco Scenes.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Character. He was a good He was a good when
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: he when Walter goes in demands fifty thousand bucks.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: I beat them out of your mule?
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Boy?
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Can you bring me more math?
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: So good?
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Most you said you had something for us let's do
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: this seven thirty tonight, Aves and oilers on ninety two five.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, and wins obviously don't matter. It doesn't matter if
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: you win. But there's one thing that somebody needs to
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: get to that does matter to I thank him and
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: to his teammates. So, Brett, if I presented you with
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: a plate of nachos, what would you do with them?
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Say thank you and I'd eat them.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Well, tonight, we're gonna feed nachos. How does that sound, Marty?
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: You're gonna feed. There you go, baby, there you go.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: You're gonna feed nachos. Because Marty is currently sitting at
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: ninety nine points. He needs one point to get a
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: hundred and then you can child him out until the
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: cows start moving and going to Brett's house to get milked. Okay,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: he's sitting at ninety nine, bro, and it's time Marty
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Nachos has his first one hundred point season. Tonight, the
• 21:48

• 24:07
  Speaker 1: much you've put given up on the season. You're you're done,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: you've sold out. If we're going through the motions of
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: these last three games, imagine being a player that cannot
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: be easy, playing three games for the Avalanche that don't
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: matter one iota none. How do you do it?
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: What do you do? What?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Even say?
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Think about this, guys, It's like, look, man, everything here.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: You almost made the super Bowl. You got your NHL
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: teams number one in the league. You got the Nuggets
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: that finishes the three seed on a twelve game.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Win stream the league. Right now.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: You have the Rockies who look got swept this weekend,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: but look to turning be turning a corner a little bit,
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: and got new ownership.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: There was also a four game series, bro, I mean it's.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Four I'm just saying, got new ownership. Gets encouraged me.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Do you just Wonlen won the national title? The Rapids
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: are playing messy this weekend and playing great, like you.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: It's a lot going on.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: My nephew's team won his flag football opener too.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: About your nephew.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, we found it. What bothered me?
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: So do you wins? They have this another epic comeback.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: They win in the only style that they can win in,
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: which is you gotta you just gotta get gritty when
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: it matters most. They win the national title game. I
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: told you I was upset because when do you wins?
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Just talk about the champion?
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Please just do that.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: And ESPN dropped one of these during the celebrations.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: The third National Championship in the last five years and
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: they record eleven overall for the Denver Pioneers.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Wow for Wisconsin a.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: Heart breaking wass It was their game, they were the
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: better team. But nobody Ropodopes like Denver and they do
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: it again.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: You understand why that bothered me.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Now, everything every single word John uttered there is correct,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: but I don't want to hear anybody say they were
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the better team. The better team is the team that wins.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: This was their game.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: They were the better teams are ridiculous things.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Correct, Correct, they dominated statistically, that's correct, But the better
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: team is the winning team.
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: And then right right after that, you know what they did.
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: They went to interview the coach of the Pioneers. They
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: were like, oh, Wisconsin is a better team. Let's talk
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: to coach Carl. That's insane.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: How long after that after the horn sounded, Nelly was that?
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Do you remember when you're clipping that.
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: Oh, it was a couple of minutes. You know, they
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: did the thing where they just stayed quiet and they
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: let the images of celebrations speak for themselves. But then
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: when they finally broke the silence after a minute or two,
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: they were like, yeah, Wisconsin was better, let's talk to
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: coach Carl.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: That's very much like Shaq interviewing Joker after he wins
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the MVP, and Shack saying I didn't vote for you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: said the first time you heard it. Yeah, that's the
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: first time I've heard that extent.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that see why it bothered you.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it bothers me to again, nothing was wrong, Untilly
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: said Wisconsin was the better team because that's see the
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: fundamental nature of sports is it's really easy to me. Scoreboard,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: that's all that matters. Yeah, scoreboard, it's all that matters.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Was NC State the better team in eighty three? Was
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Villanova the better team in eighty five? Do we have
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: to the.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Giants beat the undefeated Patriots?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Who do we have to go down the history books
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: on who the better teams are? The better teams are
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the names etched up on top of all the other teams.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: The winning Can you can say something along the lines of,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin played an unbelievably good game, They've had a wonderful season. Yep,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: it's got to be heartbreaking for the Badgers and Badger
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: fans after a great run.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: But the better team is the one carrying it's eleventh
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: national title off the ice here in vass I.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: Have no problem with complimenting the team who lost saying
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: they played well. There's no issue with that to say
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: this was their game, they were the better team. It's insane, right.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Who was the better team at the Olympics.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: Better over sixty minutes was Canada? But guess what they
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: didn't make the plays That.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Better team, the team that won the US and the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: better team and they won the game. Did the small
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: thing they won the game? Like you know what, I
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: don't want to God, it drives me crazy if if
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the Avs were to lose to a team along the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: way to the Cup, whoever beats them is the better team.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Most we've seen this before. Were the Avs better better,
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: quote unquote better than Dallas last year? Five on five hockey?
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: They were the better hockey team, but guess what, they
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: weren't better in special teams and that's what mattered the
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: most when.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: The Avs lost to Seattle in the first round. Seattle
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: is the better team.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: I think this isn't hard, but it's also like to
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: say that as the team is actively celebrating on the ice.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: That's like some post game analysis. Let's take it back
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: to the table, like that sort of thing.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Just keep just keep bringing up losses, all right, just
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: keep doing that. I'm gonna see the other the time.

  Speaker 4: The le look like the Leggy this week? All right, bye, Leggy,
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: love you.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: No one's ever said they'd love me after an interview.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the first.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Because nobody does. That's cool. He joined the club. Bro.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I'm right there with you, man, I'm right there with.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Us now that i've I saw bed Nar take a
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: puck off the face that fractured his face in several
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: places and orneal abrasion. When you're down their pregame conducting
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: those interviews, have you ever come close?
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Uh? No, no, because there aren't any. There aren't any.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Nobody's bringing the puck up the ice to shoot into
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: the bench. And there are the ones that are really
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: scary to me are the cross ice passes. They get deflected, yeah,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: like so they're not coming from an angle like Beds
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: as was. Even though that was devastating, it's the ones
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: that come straight on at you that they get over
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: the boards in a hurry. Look, man, I I feel
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: bad for Beds. I heard back from him. I just said,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: you know, hey, it looks frigging painful. How else to
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: say it? You know, heal quick, and he's he'said thanks
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: to that kind of thing. But you know, it's like
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: we're different. I'm surprised. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: because there's do you gotta have dudes on the bench
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: you got every coaches, you got every equipment, guys you
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: got ever your trainers. I mean and those pucks, dude,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: they go flying around. You see it all the time.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Guys are diving out of the way all the time.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question real quick, because I
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: just saw this, Moses, this is surprised to you, and
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: maybe it shouldn't be the favorite to win the Heart
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: on Fanatic Sports book, McKinnon's minus won sixty. He's the leader.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Does that surprise you?
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm surprised to lead you if he gets passed
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: by cole Cott, which is and listen, I don't want
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: to be selfish again. Here a little bit more. But
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: you know, to win the Rocky Richard is pretty special.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: It's hard to do. And coff Field's got fifty one.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Now he's right on McKinnon's tail. I want to see
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Ni get the fifth. Let's have a hattie tonight. Get
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: the fifty five and it's over.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: But it also surprised you to find out that cal
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: mccarr is fourth in odds in the North.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Not at all, not at all. Not that he's fourth though. No,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: it doesn't surprise me at all. Okay, No, I don't
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: in in fact that today this is just not his year,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: and he's been out for a while. He is on
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: the trip. Hopefully he's gonna get a couple of games
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: in before the start of the postseason. But that doesn't
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: surprise me. He's got seventy five points. I mean, it's
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: it's an It's a good year for any of the defenseman.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Not a good year for Kale in that regard. So
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: what did you send?
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: What read word for word your text to Betsy, because
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I send something entirely different when I find out about
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the injury.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: It's heartbreaking, but the puck was the better team.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: What did you write?
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Def looks painful. Vic thinks you're a big wo No,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I did say it looked hurt.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: See I said, it's like get hurt.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I said, I hope you heal quick fist bump.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I said a text saying, man up, woos, get to work.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Jesus love dude. So the puck, the puck had to
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: break his face. Listen, I mean, listen to coach here,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: who's a Jared Bennard is as tough as they come
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: by I mean, period, end of story. It breaks his face.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: He's got a broken face. And then it tried to
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: take out his eyeball and skid it across his eyeball. Yeah,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, dude, that's that's heavy duty man. That's heavy duty.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: Real three five four nine two five fact checker.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: To break your face, to break your face.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Bro, Hey, just quickly, you wanted to talk about this vic.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: This is Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think sixty five game is a lot to
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: ask man schef the hell up?
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Y'all voted on that in a.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Collective bargaining, and now y'all want to complain if y'all
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: want sitting on your ass half the time shipping margaritas
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: and stuff. They wanted to put the sixty five game
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: threshold in there, shut the hell.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Up as they go to break You're right about this.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Only that show can talk that way.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Nobody else could do that, and the beauty of that.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: You may disagree. You may feel that that's ridiculous, that
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: it's unfair that these old heads are taking shots at
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: these guys, But the fact that he has the liberty
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and the confidence to say whatever he wants is what
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: made that show, and I say made in past ten
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: because it's not the same anymore. The best studio show
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: in the history of all sports television, the best because
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: you have that free thinking, independent I will say whatever
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I want and I don't care who I offend. And
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: this is how I feel now. They got rid of it.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: They basically neutralized it, they sterilized it, they emasculated it.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: They threw it to ESPN and they barely run it.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: And it's not the same show. You know it, and
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I know it.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Can I can I read you something that Raj and
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Coach pointed out last week? I forget what day it was,
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: but it truly is mind blowing. Barkley saying, playing sixty
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: five games isn't that much to ask? Now, do I
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: think it's a little weird that the Nuggets throw Yokic
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: out there for eighteen minutes just to hit the number?
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's a little odd. But can I
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: give you, guys Carl Malone's career stats real quick as
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: far as games played per season. This doesn't even include postseason.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: From nineteen eighty five, his rookie year, to two thousand
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: and four, his final year and the only year he
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: played with the Lakers. Ready games played eighty one, eighty two,
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: eighty two, eighty eighty two, eighty two, eighty one, eighty two,
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: eighty two, eighty two, eighty two, eighty two, eighty one,
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: forty nine, eighty two, eighty one, eighty eighty one, and
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: then forty two is last year at the Lakers.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Wow, he had one year in which he didn't play
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: eighty two games until his final year where he was
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: kind of done. H Jordan, Okay.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, now Jordan broke his leg early in his career,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: so he's going to have a couple of seasons there
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: where he doesn't play the full slate. But this is
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: a guy who cletarally, alright, eighty.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Two, I Got you, I Got you, eighty two, eighteen
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: eighty two, eighty two, eighty one, eighty two, eighty two,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: eighty seventy eight, seventeen eighty two, eighty two, eighty two,
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: sixty eighty two.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: You get it right, You get it right. When he
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: went to opposing cities and they're playing a crappy tea
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and they didn't need to win because they had a
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: huge leading in the standings. He played He played basketball.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: You know why he played basketball, because he's paid to
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: play basketball. That's why so again, a lot of you
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: are going to hear what Charles Barkley says and says, Ah, man,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: it's so good that those guys are gone and not
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: heard from like they used to be because they don't
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: support the game. They don't celebrate the game. You could
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: celebrate the game. You can also celebrate hard work. You
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: could celebrate a lot of things. And I saw something
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: over the weekend motion I forgot to tell you about this,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: and I'll call you off air because it drove me crazy.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: It just drove me crazy.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: I said, I'll send it to you just real quick.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: To put the Karl Malone thing in perspective, nineteen year career,
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: there's potentially fifteen hundred and fifty eight games that you
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: could play in the regular season. He played in fourteen
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: hundred and seventy six. Amazing, So fourteen seventy six. That
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: means in nineteen years he missed exactly eighty two games.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: No one full season.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: More I think about it, I think the NBA, they
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: have the sixty five game minimum requirement, right, you have
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: to play sixty five games if you do what Bruce
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Brown just did. Bruce played an All Lady two. He's
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: the only nugget to play an All Lady two. Tim
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Hardaway played in eighty of eighty two. I think if
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: you get to that threshold you should get a bonus.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I agree you should get.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: A bonus, like incentivize people play seventy eight games or something. Well,
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: if we're playing.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: This, oh let's get to the middle.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Ho ho ho ho ho ho. You know what your
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: incentive is. I'm paying you forty million dollars a year
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: to play as you're freaking. But if not, does it
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: look like that's what because the money's too bid? Because
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: the money's too If they don't care, it's because, yeah,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: it's because I can play sixty five and still get
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: my forty mili you know. And then teams, ah, we
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: got to arrest this guy, and no, no, no, it's the
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: same reason you got these freaking starting pitchers going six
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: and you know, pitch count crap and all this kind
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: of thing. Man, if a dude's dlan, leave him out there,
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: leave him out there. Okay, I'm the way.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: I'm not just one last thing real quick, because I'm
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: just I'm blown away most just real quick.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Please please the NBA did they have.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: A lockout in the ninety eight ninety nine season or something,
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: or is that a full year?
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: I don't remember.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: His Calm alone won two MVPs. His second MVP that
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: he won was in ninety eight ninety nine. That was
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: one of the years he only played forty nine games.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe there was a shortened season.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I don't remember, ninety eight ninety nine. Yeah, it lest
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: to more than six months, shortened the season to fifty games.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, so there you go.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: So we only missed one year. He missed one game year.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: So that damn dude. So he missed what maybe sixty
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: games his entire career less than that, that's crazy.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I'm more curious to hear. All Right, So if the
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: inside the NBA guys are too hard on the player
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: and everybody hates that they're so hard, what do you prefer?
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: What's your favorite show?
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Then?
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: What's your cup of tea?
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: What is it? I'm not sure I have one anymore
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: victory the guys.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: I love game Day still, I'm talking about the NBA.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: Oh oh, the NBA.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know. There's nothing stands out at all in
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: the NBA. Nothing.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: The only thing.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: If the Nuggets play on national TV and they get done,
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: the only thing I would wait around postgame for from
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: a national perspective, if it's not inside the NBA, it's
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: maybe if SVP takes over immediately and does an interview.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: I like SVP.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I do that.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. Other than that, I don't care what
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: the hell they say because it's all the same crape
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: and the beauty of inside the NBA it's not the
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: same crap, right, it's unique, it's opinionated. You may not
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: like it. We don't have to run from it. And
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: it's silly that the NBA got all offended that the league,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: including the commissioner. Mind, you got all of offended that
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: inside the NBA crew was hard on the product hard.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: It's just silly. It is. Hey, I saw d Max
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: post last night where he lost his father. Did you
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: see that? Yes, and we've all you know, we're gonna
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: be there. Certainly I have been there, But I was
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: reading the article he posted. I read the whole article
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: about his pops pitching for Yukon right, and I loved it.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: So I thought to myself, Man, good for Pete McKee
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: way back in the day. But good for Pete McKee.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Uh he uh. But they beat BU six Funday, Pete
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: McKee went to the route, limiting the Rams to seven
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: hits and two walks. First time this season that a
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Husky hurler has gone a full nine innings. I'm reading
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: the article right, the old newspaper article. I'm like, hell yeah,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Pete McKee went the full nine. You're damn right he did.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: He pitched nine innings. His his his coach, didn't worry
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: about his arm falling off. He went out there and
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: he threw man. He threw darts different time.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but our thoughts obviously go out to d Mac.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: I hope you do them well, bunny.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: But I read, I read the whole thing, and I'm like,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: hell yeah, Pete McKee, You're damn right. You went nine.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: He went nine to full, got the win, play him.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Most couldn't even go three at Corsefield when we had
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: that hurling contest fell off.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Not to be fair, mind, dude, if you want to,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: if you want to rehurl, I'll rehurl with you any
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: day of your life, any freaking day of your life.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Save him from himself.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: Most it's just here's the thing. Any day I'm not
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: even saying that maybe you couldn't stop it. The next
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: time that you guys play. But the fact that you
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: went to the well of I didn't have the right
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: shoes on when you're throwing.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: I had those slippy slippy I couldn't. There's nothing I
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: could do.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, you could put you could put me in flippers
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: and I would still throw the baseball correctly.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Well, you're six three shot. That matter. I'll tell you what.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: I'm home Wednesday morning. Bring your glove in, no worry,
• 42:04

• 42:06
  Speaker 2: bring your glove to the studio and we're gonna throw
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: after the game.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: I've been there and done that most yet nothing to
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: prove to you. That's why I'm me and yours.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: I love you like a brother something in no world
• 42:19

• 42:30
  Speaker 1: We've we've gone there and done it. I can I'll shoot,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I'll throw from a chair, and I'll throw you.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I'm up for a reheurl any moment, at any time, anywhere, anywhere.

• 42:46
  Speaker 4: the time. You don't want to play me in golf.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: You don't want this, and then we're like, let's play golf.
