- 0:20Speaker 3: Three seconds, two seconds, I think.
- 0:22Speaker 4: Of the cake.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Half a second to go. Martin Nhis has his third
- 0:28Speaker 3: point of the game. Two helpers, two apples, and now
- 0:31Speaker 3: a cookie for Martin HS.
- 0:33Speaker 4: It'll go down as.
- 0:34Speaker 3: A power play goal for the Colorado Avalanche, and it'll
- 0:39Speaker 3: go down as two points. Two goals in the third
- 0:42Speaker 3: period will get it done for the Colorado Avalanche.
- 0:45Speaker 5: Against the Kings, Jamal Murray has it at the point,
- 0:48Speaker 5: guarded by Philipowski, goes to the right hand, step back,
- 0:52Speaker 5: fadeaway jumpers. Good again for Jamal Murray. Forty three points
- 0:57Speaker 5: for Jamal Murray.
- 1:00Speaker 4: What else you want him to do?
- 1:01Speaker 5: Man One point six seconds left, Bruce Brown inbound over
- 1:05Speaker 5: to Jamal Murray and there's the horn. Not pretty but effective.
- 1:09Speaker 5: Jamal Murray drops a forty five pack on the Utah
- 1:14Speaker 5: Jazz and Denver hangs on for the three point win,
- 1:18Speaker 5: one twenty eight to one twenty five.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Double dipple derou double deparux a R.
- 1:25Speaker 4: Two wins last night, I feel differently about both of them. Vic.
- 1:32Speaker 4: This feels a little bit in in Nuggets regards, like uh,
- 1:38Speaker 4: feels a bit like one of those broncos mondays where
- 1:41Speaker 4: they win a game like thirteen to eleven and you're like, yeah,
- 1:45Speaker 4: they won, But I was upset at the end of
- 1:50Speaker 4: the game. I hated it. I hated it entirely. I
- 1:54Speaker 4: I don't understand what the problem is. I couldn't name
- 1:57Speaker 4: half the roster that Utah threw out there, and you needed,
- 2:01Speaker 4: by my count, vict tell me if I'm wrong here
- 2:03Speaker 4: you were doing postgame? Did they have was the free
- 2:07Speaker 4: throw disparity in the fourth quarter? The Nuggets were twenty
- 2:10Speaker 4: of twenty one and the Jazz got two? Is that right?
- 2:14Speaker 4: And that's what they needed to beat the Utah Jazz.
- 2:17Speaker 2: They needed forty five points from Jamal Murray as well.
- 2:21Speaker 2: There's going to be a contingent of people who you
- 2:24Speaker 2: will hear from read who will tell you today you
- 2:30Speaker 2: never complained about a win. Well, I'm here to complain.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Hey, welcome to the show. You're gonna be in for
- 2:37Speaker 4: a root awakening.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Not what you're gonna get here, because that's about as
- 2:42Speaker 2: ugly a game as I've seen in a long time,
- 2:46Speaker 2: and it symptomatic of what is happening with the Nuggets
- 2:51Speaker 2: right now. Yeah, it's that game last night, and I
- 2:55Speaker 2: know they won. I know, I get it, I get it.
- 2:57Speaker 2: It took a late reversal of all that could have
- 3:00Speaker 2: gone either way. Mind, you could have gone either way.
- 3:03Speaker 2: If they had to come back and said call stands,
- 3:06Speaker 2: I'd have been fine with that. Yeah, I don't know
- 3:07Speaker 2: about you. Yep, I'd have been fine because I thought
- 3:10Speaker 2: Joker made a little bit of physical underneath with his
- 3:14Speaker 2: left hand that they could have called. Yeah, So the
- 3:19Speaker 2: game rested on that on that call. I'm not gonna
- 3:23Speaker 2: be like an OKC fan and be blind this morning.
- 3:28Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be blind. I don't know what Nikola
- 3:31Speaker 2: jokicch was doing in that game.
- 3:34Speaker 4: I would see. I was just gonna say it.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Vic.
- 3:38Speaker 4: I've mentioned this before, and I've gotten pushed back because
- 3:40Speaker 4: some people just don't think he's he's He's beyond approach
- 3:45Speaker 4: when it comes to criticism. Jokic hasn't looked right for
- 3:48Speaker 4: a while. He hasn't looked right since he's returned from injury.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Well, what they've done and this trend started by the
- 3:55Speaker 2: way Dempse and I were discussing this. This started last year.
- 3:58Speaker 2: If you remember, there was a game here in Denver
- 4:01Speaker 2: where the Lakers came to town and they started fronting Joker
- 4:04Speaker 2: and they started sort of sandwiching Joker. They put a
- 4:07Speaker 2: small in front of him and a bigger player behind him. Yeah,
- 4:10Speaker 2: they wouldn't let him get the ball on the entry pass.
- 4:14Speaker 2: And then Oklahoma City did that in the playoffs with
- 4:17Speaker 2: Alex Caruso. They fronted him and that's all they did.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Last night, Utah they fronted him the entire game. Philipowski
- 4:25Speaker 2: didn't even guard him, and he's their tall guy. They
- 4:28Speaker 2: just put a small dude on him and they try
- 4:30Speaker 2: to take his legs out and they made it very
- 4:33Speaker 2: difficult to get him the ball.
- 4:34Speaker 4: Well, here's Will Hardy, the head coach of the Utah
- 4:36Speaker 4: has on that subject.
- 4:37Speaker 6: You know, there have been some other teams in the
- 4:39Speaker 6: league that have guarded Jokic with smalls. It's about trying
- 4:43Speaker 6: to wear him down, make catches tough. You know, they're
- 4:46Speaker 6: really there. If you know a good coverage for Yokach,
- 4:49Speaker 6: please email me.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Okay, understand something. Every team is going to start doing that. Yep,
- 4:57Speaker 2: because it works. Because it works because you get frustrated.
- 5:04Speaker 2: You know, he's a big dude. He's got these pesky gnats.
- 5:06Speaker 2: I called it the Munchkin Militia.
- 5:09Speaker 4: And it's gonna take a lot of contact for him
- 5:11Speaker 4: to get fouls when the little guys are on him. Yeah,
- 5:14Speaker 4: because it just to a ref's eye, it's like, oh,
- 5:18Speaker 4: it's not that much contact. It's just a small guy
- 5:20Speaker 4: on him.
- 5:20Speaker 2: I mean, you saw the one I sent out there
- 5:22Speaker 2: when he was being boxed out by Keyante George, and
- 5:26Speaker 2: he basically just said, okay, you want to box me
- 5:28Speaker 2: out that vociferously, I'm gonna give you all this. I'm
- 5:34Speaker 2: gonna fall on you. He did that on a couple occasions.
- 5:37Speaker 2: You want all of this, let's go. I'm gonna give
- 5:40Speaker 2: you all of this. So what happens is because it's
- 5:44Speaker 2: hard to get an entry pass, they're fronting him. It
- 5:47Speaker 2: takes the Nuggets a bit out of their offense. Thankfully.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Last night, thank goodness, and Jamal Murray just said, I
- 5:54Speaker 2: got it, don't worry about it. Just I got this,
- 5:57Speaker 2: and he puts in forty five. But if he doesn't
- 6:00Speaker 2: have it, then what then?
- 6:02Speaker 4: What this is? What?
- 6:03Speaker 2: Happens to when you're so damn reliant on getting Joker
- 6:07Speaker 2: the entry pass to start your offense.
- 6:09Speaker 4: It's just everything doesn't look right, and it's is some
- 6:13Speaker 4: of it offensively? Yes, some of it's offensively. It's also Vick, dude,
- 6:19Speaker 4: I'm just gonna go through this real quick, okay, And
- 6:22Speaker 4: actually I want to play Adaman beforehand. This is his
- 6:24Speaker 4: initial comments in the post game.
- 6:25Speaker 7: The turnovers killed us tonight. It really allowed him to run.
- 6:30Speaker 7: It led to the twenty five fast break points a
- 6:31Speaker 7: little bit better than the second half. I just thought
- 6:33Speaker 7: we stayed with it.
- 6:34Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 6:35Speaker 7: I guess nowadays people judge wins. I don't wins or wins,
- 6:38Speaker 7: losses or losses. We would have beat Oka see and
- 6:40Speaker 7: Crusoe misses that three and we lose tonight, what's the difference.
- 6:43Speaker 8: We're just trying to win.
- 6:45Speaker 7: Get ourselves to a good place. So just proud of
- 6:47Speaker 7: the guys just staying with it. There was no panic,
- 6:50Speaker 7: you know, they made huge shots at the end. I
- 6:52Speaker 7: just just an unbelievable effort from the team to stay
- 6:54Speaker 7: with it. And Jamal was really special. I mean, forty
- 6:56Speaker 7: five points on nineteen shots.
- 6:58Speaker 4: I entirely disagree. There's I don't know why people get
- 7:02Speaker 4: this way. It's like, well, what they won, What are
- 7:04Speaker 4: you complaining about? What are you into style? Points? Yeah,
- 7:08Speaker 4: I kind of am, because if you're a championship caliber team,
- 7:10Speaker 4: you should have style and the way you win. There
- 7:12Speaker 4: should be like a confidence every time you take the floor.
- 7:15Speaker 4: There should be. We're playing against Utah just got fine
- 7:17Speaker 4: half a million dollars for actively trying to lose. Why
- 7:20Speaker 4: are we down three with a minute and a half
- 7:22Speaker 4: left when and he said the same thing happened with OKAC.
- 7:26Speaker 4: You know what's not OKC? Vic Philipowski, Williams Harkless, George
- 7:31Speaker 4: Bailey sensible. Mkay, look conchart like that's not okay.
- 7:35Speaker 2: See no, well you know I'm gonna say this is
- 7:40Speaker 2: on Jontay George by the way, he's a good player. Yeah,
- 7:43Speaker 2: this is on. We have twenty games to play now.
- 7:45Speaker 2: And if you don't think other teams in the league
- 7:47Speaker 2: are watching how how people are guarding Joker and reacting,
- 7:52Speaker 2: You're gonna see what you saw last night a lot.
- 7:54Speaker 2: You're gonna see that a lot. They're just gonna take
- 7:57Speaker 2: smaller guys and bother him. And now the Nuggets simply
- 8:01Speaker 2: have to find a solution. Your assignment is to find
- 8:05Speaker 2: a solution to that. Okay, they're gonna put a guy
- 8:09Speaker 2: at Joker's legs, and he was frustrated all night. I'm
- 8:12Speaker 2: looking at some replays of just different moments in the
- 8:15Speaker 2: game where away from the ball they would have a
- 8:19Speaker 2: guy crouched down all the way to Joker's shins and
- 8:23Speaker 2: just push back on him.
- 8:24Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Now people are gonna say, why do they allow teams
- 8:28Speaker 2: to do that?
- 8:29Speaker 4: Why?
- 8:29Speaker 2: Why aren't they calling the foul?
- 8:30Speaker 4: Why?
- 8:30Speaker 8: Why?
- 8:31Speaker 4: Why?
- 8:31Speaker 2: I'm not gonna ask why they're not. So, now, what
- 8:35Speaker 2: are you gonna do about it? Are you gonna sit
- 8:37Speaker 2: here and just say, ah h so frustrating?
- 8:39Speaker 4: They're not.
- 8:40Speaker 2: They're not giving him the whistle. We're gonna do that.
- 8:43Speaker 2: They're not. They're not gonna call it, whether you like
- 8:46Speaker 2: it or not. They're not. So what are you going
- 8:49Speaker 2: to do about it? How are you going to change
- 8:52Speaker 2: your offense? What counter do you have to that?
- 8:56Speaker 4: I love when we're like this because you and me
- 8:58Speaker 4: are both picking at things that are wrong, but different
- 9:02Speaker 4: wavelengths in a good way. Because there's gonna be no
- 9:04Speaker 4: meat left on this bone by the end of it
- 9:06Speaker 4: you're focused on the offensive thing of how to get
- 9:09Speaker 4: Joker the ball and they're fronting and with a small guy. Yeah,
- 9:12Speaker 4: and I'm concerned with you allowed fifty one percent from
- 9:15Speaker 4: the floor against the team that sucks because like they
- 9:18Speaker 4: can't get a stop.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Sure, the defensive end was abysmal, and it's.
- 9:23Speaker 4: Been that way and it's been that way late and
- 9:26Speaker 4: I just don't get it, Like, how are they getting
- 9:28Speaker 4: wide open looks at the end of a fourth quarter
- 9:30Speaker 4: when the game's tight.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Because they let their offense when they're out of shorts offensively,
- 9:35Speaker 2: they let them. They let it affect them defensively.
- 9:38Speaker 4: That's not what they did when they won the championship.
- 9:40Speaker 4: It was the opposite. When they weren't working on offense,
- 9:42Speaker 4: they were extra working on defense. And this is what's
- 9:45Speaker 4: like again, Vic. The style points thing is a cute
- 9:49Speaker 4: little footnote that people like to throw in there, like, oh,
- 9:51Speaker 4: you care about the way they win. I'm like, yes,
- 9:53Speaker 4: because when you are supposed to be a championship caliber team,
- 9:58Speaker 4: the way you look matters.
- 10:00Speaker 2: They were a replay review away from losing to a
- 10:05Speaker 2: team that wants to lose. Yeah, yeah, So I don't
- 10:12Speaker 2: want to hear it about style points that call that
- 10:17Speaker 2: it could have gone either way.
- 10:18Speaker 4: I swear to God, Vic, if that didn't get overturned,
- 10:21Speaker 4: I think they lose that game. I really do.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Like I was six, they have six seconds left to
- 10:26Speaker 2: do something about it, and I think that Utah would
- 10:29Speaker 2: have found something, just because that's the way that this
- 10:30Speaker 2: season is gone.
- 10:32Speaker 4: But it's like, you know that sequence was I have
- 10:35Speaker 4: this right, don't I? It was Jamal Murray makes a
- 10:39Speaker 4: free throw which led to Yokic getting a free throw.
- 10:42Speaker 4: That's what we're talking about. Like Murray makes his two
- 10:46Speaker 4: free throws, and then Jokic goes immediately to the line
- 10:49Speaker 4: afterwards to kind of I don't know, it's just it's
- 10:52Speaker 4: entirely frustrating. Someone the Appetizer said this. I think this
- 10:56Speaker 4: is so true. A texta said Vic, this is the
- 10:59Speaker 4: least enjoyable season. I can remember it a long time.
- 11:02Speaker 8: It's laborious. I mentioned it yesterday.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Somebody on the text line rights and Jeff Jeff from Florida,
- 11:07Speaker 2: thanks for listening from Florida. Jeff. Vic didn't care how
- 11:10Speaker 2: the Broncos were winning in November, but now he cares
- 11:12Speaker 2: about the Nuggets and how they win I'm just telling
- 11:17Speaker 2: you how I feel.
- 11:18Speaker 4: Bro at that time, you didn't think the Broncos were
- 11:22Speaker 4: quite the team that they were by the way I did.
- 11:25Speaker 4: I did like every week.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just telling you how I feel. I can't
- 11:29Speaker 2: make this up. I'm not last night's win. The win, yes,
- 11:34Speaker 2: a win that brok two game losing streak. How they
- 11:37Speaker 2: got the win was hard to stomach. It was hard
- 11:42Speaker 2: to watch at times. I didn't like it. I love
- 11:45Speaker 2: the result, the results great. The result is great. But
- 11:50Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you. I could be dishonest.
- 11:55Speaker 2: You want me to be dishonest? Hey man, A win's
- 11:58Speaker 2: a win. That was awesome. Everything watch this is that
- 12:02Speaker 2: what you want?
- 12:03Speaker 4: This is beyond injuries too. Like again, I still hold
- 12:06Speaker 4: out hope that when you get Ag and Watson back
- 12:10Speaker 4: that it could be different. And they're even more short
- 12:12Speaker 4: handed yesterday because no Cam Johnson, you had to start
- 12:15Speaker 4: Valentounis with Joker in the starting five. I understand all that,
- 12:20Speaker 4: but you'd be lying to yourself if you said that
- 12:24Speaker 4: this looked right and okay, because it doesn't. It doesn't
- 12:27Speaker 4: look that way, and there should be Like the way
- 12:31Speaker 4: I put it, Vic, how many games have the thunder
- 12:36Speaker 4: who were obviously a championship contender, just straight up and
- 12:39Speaker 4: not had to play their starters in the fourth quarter,
- 12:42Speaker 4: or how many times has San Antonio done it? Or
- 12:44Speaker 4: how many times even in the East the Pistons, how
- 12:47Speaker 4: many times have they done it?
- 12:48Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 12:48Speaker 2: The fact that you had to finish with those guys
- 12:51Speaker 2: is it tells you a lot. I mean, I was
- 12:54Speaker 2: talking all night with Demps about this. I don't folks,
- 12:59Speaker 2: if somebody comes at me this morning with and I
- 13:03Speaker 2: read this last night, you can't complain about the Nuggets defense.
- 13:07Speaker 2: They're missing for their best defensive players. They're missing ag
- 13:10Speaker 2: Peyton Watson, Spencer Jones, Cam Johnson, Folks, Utah set half
- 13:17Speaker 2: their team. Yeah, Utah sat half their team. One of
- 13:25Speaker 2: the guys set for sleeping problems.
- 13:30Speaker 4: I understand. Vic Kiante George's is a looks like a
- 13:33Speaker 4: really promising and good young player. If that's the only
- 13:37Speaker 4: guy you gotta worry about really on that team, how
- 13:39Speaker 4: is he the one going fourteen to twenty two from
- 13:41Speaker 4: the floor. How's he the one putting up thirty six?
- 13:45Speaker 2: Okay, let's get that all up. That's the negative. Didn't
- 13:49Speaker 2: like the game, love the result didn't like it. You
- 13:52Speaker 2: have a six game stretch now, and you assume that Peyton,
- 13:55Speaker 2: Watson and ag will return this week.
- 13:57Speaker 8: That's my assumption. I don't know.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Hopefully they can play one or both can play against
- 14:02Speaker 2: the Lakers. We'll see. That's the big ask, right, They've
- 14:06Speaker 2: got a six game stretch here that I defy you
- 14:10Speaker 2: to name to identify a tougher six game stretch in
- 14:16Speaker 2: the NBA this season? All right, here it is six
- 14:20Speaker 2: games in a row, Lakers, Knicks, Nicks on a back
- 14:25Speaker 2: to back, yes Oka see Rockets, Spurs on a back
- 14:30Speaker 2: to back, Lakers six games. All six teams are playoff teams.
- 14:36Speaker 4: Two of them are back to backs.
- 14:38Speaker 2: All of them except the Knicks in the Eastern Conference
- 14:42Speaker 2: are battling you somewhere in the standings. And this is it.
- 14:47Speaker 2: This is the stretch run. If you can get through
- 14:50Speaker 2: this six game stretch and we're sitting here in two
- 14:54Speaker 2: weeks agoing that's Nuggets basketball, then we can talk about it.
- 15:00Speaker 4: Well, they're in the position for me, vic I have
- 15:05Speaker 4: decided last night and maybe I'm I'm I don't think
- 15:08Speaker 4: this is going too far because it's just it's been
- 15:10Speaker 4: like this for a while they have lost my trust
- 15:14Speaker 4: and they need to earn it back. That's where I'm at. Like,
- 15:18Speaker 4: still think the team's good, but as far as like
- 15:20Speaker 4: winning a championship, I am going to have to wait
- 15:23Speaker 4: and see on that one. Now, all right, they're gonna
- 15:25Speaker 4: have to prove it to me.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Logan reaches out to me on Twitter and again, I
- 15:29Speaker 2: want to put this out there, Vic, Can you please
- 15:32Speaker 2: let people know that these pancakes happen simply because the
- 15:35Speaker 2: league has players under six foot five guarding and mauling
- 15:38Speaker 2: and boxing out Joker. It works because he gets no
- 15:41Speaker 2: calls due to the giant size difference. Think of Alex Caruso.
- 15:45Speaker 2: These refs do not sympathize for him. My reaction is
- 15:48Speaker 2: going to be very simple to this. Yeah. Eh, well,
- 15:51Speaker 2: and and what what what do you want me to do?
- 15:54Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 15:55Speaker 2: What what do you think by us discussing this, by us,
- 15:58Speaker 2: posting videos of this by us? Do you think that's
- 16:02Speaker 2: just gonna change?
- 16:04Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 16:04Speaker 2: What do you think other teams are gonna do?
- 16:06Speaker 4: We've never talked about Jokic not getting foul calls before.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Yeah, that's never been a source owner. What do you
- 16:12Speaker 2: think is gonna happen next do you think the rest
- 16:14Speaker 2: of the league we're talking about it all guys, everybody, Hey,
- 16:17Speaker 2: they're talking about it. Let's stop doing it. Yeah, hey, everybody,
- 16:21Speaker 2: guess what the Nuggets play the Lakers on Thursday night.

- 17:29Speaker 4: and less with more, all in the same season. I mean, remember,
- 17:34Speaker 4: for all the people that are complaining right now, Vick
- 17:36Speaker 4: and mose about David Adelman, because you're gonna get this
- 17:39Speaker 4: with the tough stretch. And the easiest thing to do
- 17:42Speaker 4: in sports is to blame the coach for things when
- 17:43Speaker 4: I think it's more players than coach. But it's like,
- 17:47Speaker 4: did we make the wrong move by hiring Adelman? But
- 17:49Speaker 4: in the middle of all those guys being out and
- 17:52Speaker 4: then winning basketball games, it's like he might be coach
- 17:54Speaker 4: of the year. It's just easy, flip flop back and forth. Easy.
- 17:59Speaker 2: You look like you were did it Venture Park or
- 18:01Speaker 2: something there? Most where are you are you in Anaheim today?
- 18:04Speaker 2: Where do we find you.
- 18:06Speaker 8: Up your button around the corner? I am not, I
- 18:10Speaker 8: am not, and.
- 18:11Speaker 4: You gotta go to your bedroom two minutes for being bad.
- 18:14Speaker 8: I am not even remotely in the mood. The amount
- 18:17Speaker 8: of effort.
- 18:21Speaker 4: He did ask a simple question.
- 18:22Speaker 8: I understand that. But but here's the problem with this show.
- 18:26Speaker 8: And I think that everybody listening right now can understand
- 18:30Speaker 8: the amount of late night, early morning effort I put
- 18:34Speaker 8: in to jump onto these airwaves to allow still be
- 18:40Speaker 8: to insult me. It doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. The ratio.
- 18:50Speaker 8: The ratio of effort to dial bag is significant. I
- 18:54Speaker 8: get ratioed all the time.
- 18:58Speaker 4: Something you made up in your mind this morning?
- 19:00Speaker 2: Sure, what you're talking about?
- 19:01Speaker 4: Hi, Moses, Let's just let's just recap this. Moj Vic said, Hey, Mos,
- 19:06Speaker 4: where are you? It looks like that's your part.
- 19:10Speaker 8: Yeah, it's been a real adventure of it.
- 19:11Speaker 4: It looks pretty.
- 19:12Speaker 8: It's been a real fun adventure.
- 19:13Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:13Speaker 8: It be pay one hundred and ninety bucks to come
- 19:16Speaker 8: in here and then struggle to get on the friggin
- 19:18Speaker 8: air to fight with you.
- 19:19Speaker 4: It's great. Hey. And the last thing is, I think
- 19:21Speaker 4: I just may look too easy. All right. I got
- 19:25Speaker 4: a question, Well, for God's sake, because I know there's
- 19:29Speaker 4: nothing you can do about it.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Why are you late to the show? While you half
- 19:31Speaker 2: hour late? No?
- 19:33Speaker 4: Ignore that?
- 19:34Speaker 2: Or on no no, no, no, no no no no
- 19:36Speaker 2: he wants to no he wants. I simply gave him
- 19:39Speaker 2: a proper greeting. How are you kids? Why you late kids?
- 19:42Speaker 4: I'm gonna pull this car over right now. Why this
- 19:47Speaker 4: you pop? Pop? I have a question. I know there's
- 19:52Speaker 4: nothing you can do about it, but is there somebody
- 19:55Speaker 4: I can punch really hard in the face for when
- 19:58Speaker 4: Martin Nhis has a tap in goal but they blow
- 20:00Speaker 4: the whistle because they can't see the puck. Dude, is
- 20:03Speaker 4: there anybody that could just put right in their suck hole?
- 20:07Speaker 8: I don't know what happened against Minnesota, but people got
- 20:12Speaker 8: on Johnny Lyles's case when the Aps took all those
- 20:15Speaker 8: penalties in that second period. Started with the mccarr slash
- 20:19Speaker 8: that broke a stick, but it wasn't a slash. It
- 20:21Speaker 8: was blade on blade, but storm stick broke at the hand.
- 20:25Speaker 8: Remember that, somebody told I think wild fans that the
- 20:33Speaker 8: color analyst that game was EJ. So apparently Wild fans
- 20:37Speaker 8: destroyed EJ's timeline with you're a piece of crap and
- 20:41Speaker 8: it was really Johnny Lyles? So what I and Johnny
- 20:45Speaker 8: didn't even say anything that's not correct. Don't get me wrong,
- 20:47Speaker 8: he was a thousand percent correct, But people got on
- 20:50Speaker 8: his bacon because wild fans are that way, and I look,
- 20:55Speaker 8: I don't want to get on the officials because it's hard.
- 20:57Speaker 8: But that was a really really super duper pooper scooper
- 21:01Speaker 8: quick whistle, super pooper doper.
- 21:03Speaker 4: Yeah, really really quick.
- 21:07Speaker 8: So I don't know, I don't know what to say.
- 21:08Speaker 8: What do you I mean, I'm not gonna blast anybody.
- 21:10Speaker 8: Kyle Raymond's been around a long long time. I don't
- 21:15Speaker 8: I don't know what happened. He's on the near side,
- 21:18Speaker 8: the puck goes into the arm pit. He thinks it's held,
- 21:20Speaker 8: and it's hard to you know, it's hard to.
- 21:23Speaker 4: I think.
- 21:26Speaker 8: It's hard not to blow the whistle because you think
- 21:28Speaker 8: it's a save. He's holding onto it. Blow the whistle,
- 21:30Speaker 8: let's go. But he never had control, dude. He bounced
- 21:33Speaker 8: right through him and went behind his pad. Marty pokes
- 21:35Speaker 8: at home, but the whistle had already blown, you.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Know, with the Avs winning yesterday. Uh. The funny thing
- 21:43Speaker 4: about it is that goal doesn't get called, and then
- 21:45Speaker 4: a couple of minutes later it's tied up two to two.
- 21:49Speaker 4: It's a loud buzz. I don't know what you're doing
- 21:51Speaker 4: over there. Motion it's a loud buzz though, What am
- 21:55Speaker 4: I wrong?
- 21:56Speaker 2: I don't hear a darn thing.
- 21:57Speaker 4: Oh okay, never mind that.
- 21:59Speaker 8: You know, you've got the people, You've got things in
- 22:02Speaker 8: your head. You know, pork CHOP's accusing me of crap
- 22:05Speaker 8: over here. I swear to God, what amusement park you
- 22:09Speaker 8: broadcasting from? Okay, let me explain. We are so this
- 22:14Speaker 8: this will, this will get Vic off. I mean this,
- 22:15Speaker 8: This will make him touch himself. We It doesn't matter
- 22:19Speaker 8: what I don't know. This will make him happy. So
- 22:25Speaker 8: in order to get to the main the main lobby, clubhouse,
- 22:30Speaker 8: whatever you got to call a golf cart, the golf cart, Hey, Hans,
- 22:34Speaker 8: what's up?
- 22:35Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 22:35Speaker 8: Bring that golf cart over here? And he speeds around
- 22:38Speaker 8: the property, picks you up in front of your apartment
- 22:41Speaker 8: with a golf cart, and then takes you back to
- 22:43Speaker 8: the main joint, which is what I was doing. I
- 22:46Speaker 8: was packed up and ready to go to go to
- 22:49Speaker 8: the main joint, because what do they have here? Vic?
- 22:51Speaker 4: What do you think they have here that Vic Lombardi loves.
- 22:54Speaker 2: I don't know where you are.
- 22:57Speaker 8: It doesn't matter where I am. You just need to
- 22:59Speaker 8: know where what the city situation is. They have a
- 23:01Speaker 8: business center. So it's one thirty one forty maybe two
- 23:05Speaker 8: o'clock in the morning. I finally give up and I
- 23:07Speaker 8: called the guy. He's like, I said, yeah, do you
- 23:12Speaker 8: have a business center? We do, sir, Really, I said, Wilson,
- 23:17Speaker 8: I've got to do you have ether? And he goes,
- 23:19Speaker 8: I'm not sure, but there's nobody I can call it.
- 23:21Speaker 4: This, this has this has to stop.
- 23:23Speaker 2: I don't care.
- 23:24Speaker 4: This has to stop.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I don't care.
- 23:26Speaker 8: How go on the way up, on the way out
- 23:28Speaker 8: of the on the way out of the room, nobody,
- 23:30Speaker 8: nobody on this show case. I dropped, I dropped something.
- 23:33Speaker 8: I dropped something back between the blinds and the end
- 23:36Speaker 8: of this console.
- 23:37Speaker 4: This uh, this day to stop. He's still down by
- 23:40Speaker 4: the floor, Still down.
- 23:42Speaker 8: By the floor. There's an ethernet play.
- 23:44Speaker 4: Can I go back? Please? It can't be that eating.
- 23:47Speaker 4: Can I please go back to the askin please?
- 23:49Speaker 8: You asked where I was and what I was doing.
- 23:50Speaker 8: I gave you the answer.
- 23:51Speaker 2: No, no, no, you gave us a three minute answer.
- 23:54Speaker 2: All you have to say is I'm in the business
- 23:55Speaker 2: center at a hotel.
- 23:56Speaker 4: That's it.
- 23:56Speaker 2: That was all you have to say.
- 23:58Speaker 6: I got it, I got it, I got it.
- 24:00Speaker 4: Uh, what I was trying to get to with the
- 24:02Speaker 4: married how were you ever married?
- 24:04Speaker 2: How I was.
- 24:05Speaker 4: Trying to get to with the Avs was that at
- 24:08Speaker 4: break I'll show you. After the goal wasn't called, they
- 24:14Speaker 4: immediately gave up a couple of minutes later, the game
- 24:16Speaker 4: tied at two to two, and you're thinking, oh boy,
- 24:20Speaker 4: is this gonna be the thing that haunts you? And
- 24:23Speaker 4: luckily for them, they come back and they get the
- 24:26Speaker 4: goal by Devonte's beautiful play, and then Marty Notcho gets
- 24:30Speaker 4: his goal back by finishing with the empty netter, which
- 24:32Speaker 4: coincidentally moses it helps in our our power play tracker
- 24:38Speaker 4: because they were one for one last night technically, so
- 24:40Speaker 4: that takes him two eleven.
- 24:44Speaker 8: Dude.
- 24:45Speaker 4: They have this.
- 24:46Speaker 8: McKinnon has this the puck on his stick. He could
- 24:49Speaker 8: turn and fire it down the ice if he wanted
- 24:52Speaker 8: to from that position and probably score. You know, it's
- 24:54Speaker 8: one hundred and probably sixty three foot shot he could score.
- 24:58Speaker 8: He tries to find Marty and Paneren reaches out and
- 25:02Speaker 8: gloves it down and starts again, and I'm like, you
- 25:05Speaker 8: have got to be kidding me. Why is this happening.
- 25:08Speaker 8: This cannot be happening. They get it done. Yeah, Marty
- 25:12Speaker 8: gets an empty net goal, which is I guess sweet
- 25:15Speaker 8: justice for the knockdown by Paneren and so on. But man,
- 25:18Speaker 8: nothing is coming easy.
- 25:19Speaker 2: For the Helpe.
- 25:21Speaker 8: It does, but you can't get a freaking power play
- 25:23Speaker 8: the entire game. The Kings had three guys who made
- 25:26Speaker 8: their National Hockey League debut. They've got like nine guys
- 25:29Speaker 8: out right now, including Kevin Fiala who broke his leg
- 25:34Speaker 8: up in the in the Olympic Games. Man, it's just
- 25:37Speaker 8: it's it's nothing is coming easy. But they're sticking with it.
- 25:41Speaker 8: They're staying with the with the process. They keep grinding
- 25:45Speaker 8: and they're coming through. And by the way, Vic, last night,
- 25:48Speaker 8: look at the goals for this Avalanche team. McKinnon, Landeskog,
- 25:53Speaker 8: Taves and Natus and mccarr figured in and Nature said assist,
- 25:56Speaker 8: Like the big guns pulled this team through last night.
- 25:59Speaker 4: That was really really thad.
- 26:01Speaker 2: It's similar the two games last night that both resulted
- 26:04Speaker 2: in w's. The Nuggets and the Abs both sort of survived, right,
- 26:09Speaker 2: They survived against teams that were missing a bunch of players.
- 26:11Speaker 2: They survived on the road.
- 26:13Speaker 8: But VIC, if you're going into a prize fight against
- 26:17Speaker 8: the guy who's supposed to take a dive in the
- 26:19Speaker 8: fifth round, and you don't throw a punch, then then
- 26:24Speaker 8: what are you supposed to do?
- 26:25Speaker 4: The Jazz want to lose. What the hell happened?
- 26:29Speaker 8: How do you give up one hundred and twenty five
- 26:31Speaker 8: points to a team that's dying to lose?
- 26:34Speaker 4: Just pause for one second. That pisses me off. Just
- 26:36Speaker 4: pause for one second. Because if there is some sort
- 26:40Speaker 4: of significant news to come out of the game last night,
- 26:42Speaker 4: it's that. I hate when he says this. Ar Torri
- 26:46Speaker 4: Lekinen didn't return to the bench, and Bednar said that
- 26:49Speaker 4: he is going to miss that sometime. QUOTEA don't like that.
- 26:53Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll talk to Jared coming up tomorrow at nine
- 26:56Speaker 8: am Denver time correct, nine am Mountain time tomorrow. Yes,
- 27:01Speaker 8: I don't know what it could be. All I saw
- 27:03Speaker 8: was the puck get up here on him, somewhere from
- 27:07Speaker 8: the mouth to the to the throat somewhere the puck
- 27:12Speaker 8: got up in here. Now, I don't know what that
- 27:13Speaker 8: could be. You tell me what that is.
- 27:16Speaker 4: It's upper body, You.
- 27:17Speaker 8: Tell me what it is.
- 27:18Speaker 4: Something that hurts a lot. Well, yeah, I mean, because.
- 27:23Speaker 8: Once the play was done, he sort of turned turned
- 27:26Speaker 8: around to skate toward the bench, and he had that
- 27:29Speaker 8: that hurt look on his All I saw was his back.
- 27:32Speaker 4: I always saw was.
- 27:32Speaker 8: His numbers in his nameplate.
- 27:34Speaker 4: I don't know what.
- 27:35Speaker 8: I don't know what it is, but he looked hurt
- 27:38Speaker 8: when he kind of went, you know, like that, and
- 27:40Speaker 8: then skated over the bench and then he was gone.
- 27:42Speaker 8: So I've got to think it's something not so much here, Brett,
- 27:47Speaker 8: look at me, not so much here or here.
- 27:49Speaker 4: But sort of right here. Yeah. The uh, not so much,
- 27:53Speaker 4: not so much here or here, but sort of right here.
- 27:57Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 27:57Speaker 2: The ABS announcement when a guy gets hurt and they
- 28:00Speaker 2: say he's gonna miss some time is the equivalent of
- 28:03Speaker 2: the nuggets reevaluated in four to six weeks.
- 28:06Speaker 8: Yes, pretty much.
- 28:07Speaker 4: Yep.
- 28:08Speaker 8: Well listen, he's not lost for the year, So that's
- 28:11Speaker 8: that's good. I mean, colleep ar Toy liking it is
- 28:16Speaker 8: one of those guys you know, you don't know what
- 28:18Speaker 8: you got till it's gone.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Sandpaper gotta have sandpaper on the ice.
- 28:24Speaker 8: You gotta And he does all the tough stuff you
- 28:28Speaker 8: talk about, a guy who just goes and does his job.
- 28:32Speaker 8: He doesn't ask anything from anybody.
- 28:34Speaker 4: At all. He just hits the ice and does his
- 28:39Speaker 4: efing job, goes.
- 28:41Speaker 8: Hard to the front of the net, makes difficult plays,
- 28:44Speaker 8: always around the crease.
- 28:45Speaker 4: I love that guy.
- 28:46Speaker 2: So you escaped last night with a dub. You get
- 28:48Speaker 2: the win, everybody's happy.
- 28:50Speaker 4: And then, by the way, I'm.
- 28:51Speaker 8: Hardly on any sleep. I am not in the mood
- 28:53Speaker 8: to suffer fools today, So don't mouth off to me.
- 28:58Speaker 2: I was just talking about hockey.
- 29:00Speaker 8: Understand, I understand. That's it's it's this is a preemptive strike.
- 29:04Speaker 4: This aggression will not stand.
- 29:05Speaker 5: Man.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Okay, mister bonser Uh. The Avs won last night. They
- 29:12Speaker 2: found a way the Lord and then the Stars can't lose.
- 29:21Speaker 2: Suddenly they've won nine in.
- 29:23Speaker 8: A row, VIC. And the crazy part is that Rantonan's out.
- 29:28Speaker 8: I know they they still have, but you know what,
- 29:32Speaker 8: you're You're right they have, which is funny. We put
- 29:36Speaker 8: the graphic up last night, boys VIC nine in a row.
- 29:40Speaker 8: That's the post Dallas has.
- 29:41Speaker 4: Won in a row all season long. The Avs have
- 29:46Speaker 4: not won but two different winning streaks of.
- 29:47Speaker 8: Ten in a row.
- 29:48Speaker 4: I'm not comparing.
- 29:50Speaker 2: I know it has nothing to do with comparing both franchises.
- 29:54Speaker 8: I realized that. I'm just I'm just sort of laying
- 29:58Speaker 8: it out there. How help reception changes. They're playing great
- 30:02Speaker 8: flip and hockey. They've won nine in a row. There
- 30:06Speaker 8: is going to be something, man, Yeah, you're going to
- 30:10Speaker 8: be something.
- 30:10Speaker 4: Remember that time you got bit by a Doberman?
- 30:12Speaker 8: Remember that?
- 30:13Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're riding your bike and Adobe is chasing you.
- 30:17Speaker 8: How do you know my life story is better than
- 30:18Speaker 8: I do because you told me about the doberman that
- 30:22Speaker 8: that it's the it's the biggest fear you have. The
- 30:24Speaker 8: doberman is chasing you on your bike and bit.
- 30:26Speaker 2: You Baptist in North Denver.
- 30:29Speaker 8: Yeah, this is this is exactly what the Dallas Stars
- 30:32Speaker 8: are right now. They are a Doberman with no tail.
- 30:35Speaker 8: I still have the scar, yeah, and the pointy ears,
- 30:38Speaker 8: and he's running your ass down and and that you
- 30:40Speaker 8: got it. You gotta pedal harder. You got a pedal.
- 30:43Speaker 8: You gotta stay ahead of him. I have to.
- 30:47Speaker 4: You're this will get Vic off. I mean this, this
- 30:49Speaker 4: will make him touch himself. I mean that's a crazy
- 30:52Speaker 4: thing to say. Sorry, right, well, you know what, there's
- 30:57Speaker 4: only one way to mean it.
- 30:59Speaker 2: You know what, I know what you are now, I
- 31:01Speaker 2: know what this is and it's funny because somebody referenced
- 31:05Speaker 2: it and I appreciate somebody on the text line. You're
- 31:07Speaker 2: so right. So Sean Payton has taken all play calling
- 31:12Speaker 2: duties and given him to Davis Webb. And one of
- 31:15Speaker 2: the big criticisms of Sean Payton was he just couldn't
- 31:18Speaker 2: get the play in in time. Remember how many times,
- 31:21Speaker 2: come on, let's go get the play in. That's mosure,
- 31:25Speaker 2: just having a conversation.
- 31:26Speaker 8: Let's go.
- 31:27Speaker 2: We're saying, get the play in, mosure.
- 31:30Speaker 4: People are saying that I sound grumpy this morning. I
- 31:33Speaker 4: don't feel like I sound grumpy.
- 31:35Speaker 2: You sounded like an eore.
- 31:38Speaker 4: Really yeah, Well, when somebody asks you, hey, where are
- 31:41Speaker 4: you at and you say, I'm not in the mood
- 31:43Speaker 4: for your nonsense today.
- 31:44Speaker 8: Because you know what, because listen, of all the people
- 31:47Speaker 8: in the world, don't you play dumb with me? Don't
- 31:50Speaker 8: you play dumb? When he asked that question, you know
- 31:53Speaker 8: it's just a precursor to something else that's coming, and
- 31:57Speaker 8: you know it by a mile. Don't you play dumb.
- 31:59Speaker 8: You're on my side.

- 33:25Speaker 4: I'll be really really nice, very cool reminder. The the
- 33:29Speaker 4: keyword for this hour is near. So text that in
- 33:33Speaker 4: your first and last name to three oho three five
- 33:35Speaker 4: four nine to two five back after this. It's only
- 33:40Speaker 4: for a boy, that's it. Oh yeah, big smile. So listen,
- 33:47Speaker 4: few things, Hey, hi mos, how you doing a few
- 33:51Speaker 4: things here?
- 33:53Speaker 8: One?
- 33:54Speaker 4: And we'll get back to the games in a second.
- 33:56Speaker 4: But the the Nuggets did fill their last roster spot
- 34:00Speaker 4: with Tias Jones. And I'm gonna need some help here
- 34:05Speaker 4: because I don't get it.
- 34:06Speaker 8: I don't understand it.
- 34:08Speaker 4: They have a ton of guards already, Like, I just
- 34:11Speaker 4: don't understand the purpose of what he's going to fill here.
- 34:13Speaker 4: Is this a disbelief in Jalen Pickett? Is that what
- 34:16Speaker 4: that is?
- 34:17Speaker 2: I think it's just a break glass in case of
- 34:19Speaker 2: emergency pickup, That's what that is. You know, they ideally
- 34:23Speaker 2: they wanted Chris Middleton. Yeah, from all reports, and Middleton
- 34:28Speaker 2: decided to stay in Dallas, so they filled the hole.
- 34:32Speaker 2: They had a roster spot available, and if the guard
- 34:35Speaker 2: goes down, if for some reason they need a ball
- 34:38Speaker 2: handler late in the game, they got one. That's what
- 34:42Speaker 2: that is.
- 34:42Speaker 4: I feel like a forward would have helped them more.
- 34:44Speaker 2: Well, they wanted Middleton, and Middleton decided to stay in Dallas.
- 34:49Speaker 4: Yeah, Now, as far as.
- 34:53Speaker 8: You know what, it's hard to blame Chris Middleton for that.
- 34:57Speaker 8: I mean, when you when you really truly think about
- 35:00Speaker 8: you're thinking of yourself, you know, you know, why not
- 35:03Speaker 8: stay in a place where you're a suckhole when you
- 35:07Speaker 8: could go to a place where you have an opportunity
- 35:09Speaker 8: to win an NBA title. If it was me in
- 35:13Speaker 8: the mood I'm in today, I would think, you know what,
- 35:16Speaker 8: I want perpetual suckhole because that fits my that fits
- 35:20Speaker 8: my mentality, in my my belief system more than anything else.
- 35:24Speaker 4: So if you're if you want to play.
- 35:25Speaker 8: In Dallas, be out of the playoffs, being the twelfth
- 35:27Speaker 8: spot in the West, and just completely suck your life away.
- 35:31Speaker 8: Chris Middleton, by all means, stay there, enjoy yourself. You're misinformed,
- 35:34Speaker 8: You're just what what what what is misinformed? Then what is?
- 35:39Speaker 2: There are two things at stake. Number One, he likes
- 35:41Speaker 2: his role there, he may stay there. He retains his
- 35:44Speaker 2: bird rights by staying there.
- 35:45Speaker 4: There's more playing. Oh the bird rights, My bad. You're right.
- 35:48Speaker 2: And and and perhaps he doesn't feel confident in going
- 35:53Speaker 2: to a team that you know, maybe he's playing time
- 35:56Speaker 2: wasn't what he wanted. Maybe maybe he had a conversation
- 35:58Speaker 2: what would you be doing in how much playing time
- 36:01Speaker 2: would you get? Maybe maybe he wants playing time. I mean,
- 36:05Speaker 2: you can't label everyone who doesn't want to come here
- 36:08Speaker 2: as oh, what a loser. That's not the way this works.
- 36:11Speaker 2: You don't get that opportunity.
- 36:13Speaker 8: No, he's got a ring, so I can understand why
- 36:15Speaker 8: he's content. He's already got a ring, and why would
- 36:18Speaker 8: he want another one? I mean, I don't blame him.
- 36:21Speaker 8: Go ahead and lose sixty games a year. It doesn't
- 36:23Speaker 8: bother me. It doesn't be from me. No skin off
- 36:26Speaker 8: my teeth, no problem, And now I have nothing.
- 36:31Speaker 4: Here's the other thing about the Nuggets and that game
- 36:35Speaker 4: last night. Again, like the entire feel here around what
- 36:41Speaker 4: the Nuggets should look like is off.
- 36:45Speaker 2: It's off.
- 36:46Speaker 4: And if you want to be a championship caliber team,
- 36:49Speaker 4: games like last night don't happen. You could say that
- 36:51Speaker 4: I'm hyper focusing just on a single game, and I
- 36:56Speaker 4: might accept that had the previous like three weeks not happened. Yeah,
- 37:00Speaker 4: you know, this isn't just a one off. Oh they
- 37:03Speaker 4: had a bad night. They've had bad nights consistently lately,
- 37:08Speaker 4: And even in a win, you're exiting that being like, well,
- 37:13Speaker 4: this a team that just got fined half a million
- 37:16Speaker 4: dollars for trying to lose. Was up three with a
- 37:20Speaker 4: minute and a half left in that game against you,
- 37:22Speaker 4: up four, up four, and you can say, like, hey man, defensively,
- 37:27Speaker 4: they didn't have their best guys in ag and they
- 37:29Speaker 4: didn't have Peyton Wattson, they didn't have Spencer Jones, they
- 37:31Speaker 4: didn't have all these different guys. Uta sucks. It shouldn't
- 37:35Speaker 4: matter you're playing a G League team.
- 37:37Speaker 2: You'll get a better stand after this six game stretch,
- 37:40Speaker 2: which Moje, you missed it the toughest six game stretch
- 37:44Speaker 2: I think in the NBA this season is what the
- 37:46Speaker 2: Nuggets are up again.
- 37:47Speaker 4: It's really hard. You're totally right.
- 37:49Speaker 8: I'm not ecious.
- 37:50Speaker 4: You're absolutely right.
- 37:51Speaker 2: Of those six games, two of those are back to backs,
- 37:55Speaker 2: incredibly hard games. We'll know after this six game run,
- 38:00Speaker 2: if you don't already know, if you don't have a feel,
- 38:02Speaker 2: we'll get one after this six game run. Well, no,
- 38:04Speaker 2: you know what, I don't want to everybody assumes because
- 38:08Speaker 2: the Nuggets have struggled that they haven't been competitive. That's
- 38:11Speaker 2: that's bs. They could have won every game they were in.
- 38:14Speaker 2: That's what's crazy.
- 38:14Speaker 4: They've been right, they've been right in their ere game they.
- 38:17Speaker 2: Could have won. There's so many games in this stretch.
- 38:21Speaker 2: There's six and eight since Joker returned, six and eight,
- 38:23Speaker 2: So many of those losses could have been w's and
- 38:26Speaker 2: we're singing a different narrative. They lost a lot of
- 38:29Speaker 2: clutch time games. So I don't want to hear that,
- 38:32Speaker 2: Oh they're a complete mess, they're lost. No, they're just
- 38:35Speaker 2: losing the games that were used to seeing them win.
- 38:38Speaker 8: Yeah, but they're also Bretts right. I mean you look
- 38:40Speaker 8: at that lineup that Utah put out there last night.
- 38:43Speaker 2: That one, see you're that game bothered me more than
- 38:47Speaker 2: almost losing games.
- 38:50Speaker 8: Kyle Philipowski. I mean this this guy, and look, I
- 38:56Speaker 8: know my face looks not good this morning. I get that,
- 39:01Speaker 8: but this guy looks like you know, if you go
- 39:04Speaker 8: to H and R Block and you go, man, it's true.
- 39:08Speaker 8: I need a little help with you know, with some deductions.
- 39:11Speaker 8: This guy is going to hook you up because that's
- 39:13Speaker 8: what Kyle Philipowski does. Hi at Kyle Philipowski expert accountant,
- 39:18Speaker 8: that kind of thing. And Vic brettis is one hundred
- 39:22Speaker 8: percent correct. The win is the win, and that's great.
- 39:25Speaker 8: And you see Jamal get off and that's awesome too.
- 39:28Speaker 8: I mean when he goes for forty five, it's a
- 39:30Speaker 8: fun night. But I don't care what you're doing in
- 39:34Speaker 8: terms of the scoreboard. It doesn't look right or feel right. Vic,
- 39:38Speaker 8: even during the run two years ago, three years ago
- 39:41Speaker 8: almost and you're worried about the Lakers and you're worried
- 39:45Speaker 8: about this and that deep down you still knew that
- 39:48Speaker 8: it had a feel and a vibe of goodness. It
- 39:52Speaker 8: still felt right, it looked right, and you're like, you
- 39:56Speaker 8: know what, I can be nervous all I want, but
- 39:59Speaker 8: they got something cooking, which is why Brett and I
- 40:01Speaker 8: I think even after the second round, Brett, you were like, dude,
- 40:05Speaker 8: it's it's done.
- 40:06Speaker 4: It was never about your opponent. It was like this team,
- 40:09Speaker 4: it was about you. They look the part that's exactly right.
- 40:14Speaker 8: So, Vick, if it doesn't feel right and it doesn't
- 40:18Speaker 8: look right, even if you win, I'm still going to
- 40:21Speaker 8: come up with concerns on a daily basis, and so
- 40:24Speaker 8: was Brett until it starts to look and feel right.
- 40:26Speaker 8: And I don't know when that's going to be. And
- 40:29Speaker 8: by the way, if it's all Aaron Gordon for crying
- 40:31Speaker 8: out loud, if it's all age, then on this team,
- 40:35Speaker 8: that guy's worth sixty million per Because they don't look
- 40:39Speaker 8: or field themselves at all.
- 40:41Speaker 2: I sense a joyless basketball team right now. There's no
- 40:46Speaker 2: joy with which they play, and sports is supposed to
- 40:49Speaker 2: be fun.
- 40:51Speaker 4: Do you guys see that?
- 40:52Speaker 8: Or that's a great that's a great observation. You got
- 40:55Speaker 8: to be able to enjoy the guys around you the coming.
- 40:57Speaker 2: No, No, I'm not saying behind the scenes, they're fine
- 41:00Speaker 2: the scenes. It's the lockerom I'm talking about in the game.
- 41:02Speaker 2: Everything's so No, that's.
- 41:04Speaker 8: That's what I'm talking about, tu Vic. There's a certain
- 41:07Speaker 8: there's a certain just flow to a team where you're
- 41:10Speaker 8: having fun on the floor and you're high five and
- 41:12Speaker 8: and blah, blah blah blah blah. Everything right now is
- 41:15Speaker 8: a trip to the dentist.
- 41:16Speaker 4: What's the French?
- 41:18Speaker 8: Is that what it is?
- 41:19Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 41:20Speaker 8: Yeah, certain Jennesse quah.
- 41:21Speaker 4: What does that mean? A certain wrench effervescent quality about things,
- 41:27Speaker 4: A certain got, a certain something, a certain it.
- 41:30Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not playing with the genese quah.
- 41:32Speaker 8: Right now.
- 41:32Speaker 2: It's it's very intense and very plotting and very I
- 41:37Speaker 2: don't know what it is.
- 41:39Speaker 4: You're right.
- 41:39Speaker 2: January January was magical, like, oh my god, look at
- 41:43Speaker 2: them win these games. It was just a different field.
- 41:46Speaker 2: It was an excitement level. Since then, it's.
- 41:48Speaker 8: Been just.
- 41:51Speaker 4: The definition is an indescribable special or pleasing quality. But
- 41:56Speaker 4: the literal translation is I don't know what.
- 42:01Speaker 8: Yeah, that's I I just I just done told you that.
- 42:03Speaker 8: But right now they got dare I say it? They
- 42:06Speaker 8: got a certain gens. Yeah.
- 42:12Speaker 2: Again, you have six You have a six game stretch
- 42:14Speaker 2: here that I think will determine the tone of the
- 42:16Speaker 2: rest of it. Really, do if if these six games
- 42:20Speaker 2: and you hope you assume that Aaron Gordon and Peyton
- 42:23Speaker 2: Watson will be available, Okay, you assume you assume and
- 42:26Speaker 2: hope that Cam Johnson will be available. He didn't play
- 42:29Speaker 2: last night. Ankle issue. Let's see where he is when
- 42:32Speaker 2: he comes back. And we know it's more than just
- 42:34Speaker 2: an ankle with him, right, we know that. Yeah, it's
- 42:37Speaker 2: an ego. It's an ego.
- 42:38Speaker 8: I mean, it's a confidence vic I don't mind him
- 42:42Speaker 8: having a night off. He bore his soul two days ago.
- 42:46Speaker 8: But hang on a second on.
- 42:47Speaker 4: That subject, Moje. The the lack of confidence. When you
- 42:52Speaker 4: said they don't look like they look joyless right now,
- 42:55Speaker 4: I think that's all it is. I I really think
- 42:58Speaker 4: that they're at the end of games nervous that they're
- 43:01Speaker 4: gonna do something wrong and blow the game. And that's
- 43:03Speaker 4: what the joy It's not joylessness. It's almost like nervousness.
- 43:06Speaker 2: The one consistency, and it's happened and continues to happen.
- 43:10Speaker 2: They had fifteen turnovers last night, fifteen turnovers to Utah's
- 43:15Speaker 2: nine and a bunch of laid again and the late
- 43:17Speaker 2: turnovers happened. Jamal had seven turnovers himself, right, and he's
- 43:22Speaker 2: been very consistent with the ball. Joker had three. They
- 43:27Speaker 2: have to clean that up, man, I don't know what
- 43:30Speaker 2: else to tell you. They have to clean that up.
- 43:33Speaker 2: They're getting empty possessions because they're turning.
- 43:36Speaker 4: The ball over so much.
- 43:38Speaker 8: Well, Vick, Vicky, it was it was the Clipper game,
- 43:40Speaker 8: if I'm not mistaken. We went through it because you
- 43:43Speaker 8: were No, it was the Warrior game? Or what's the
- 43:46Speaker 8: Clipper game?
- 43:47Speaker 4: Damn it?
- 43:47Speaker 8: Now I'm all mad where they had? So what's the
- 43:51Speaker 8: game where they're tied at one oh nine to late
- 43:53Speaker 8: with six minutes to go? What game is that?
- 43:55Speaker 4: Warriors?
- 43:56Speaker 8: And yeah, Vicky were you were out and so okay,
- 44:02Speaker 8: so what's his face? The guy's pod said, Scott pud
- 44:06Speaker 8: Sednick makes a three?
- 44:09Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no, that was a joke between us.
- 44:11Speaker 4: He couldn't say Pod Jempsky, so I co just call
- 44:14Speaker 4: him Scottie Pods. Scott Scotty Pods makes a three to
- 44:17Speaker 4: tie it.
- 44:18Speaker 8: Okay, fine, Then immediately Joker gets stripped and it's a
- 44:22Speaker 8: turnovers Eighty year old Al Horford goes.
- 44:25Speaker 4: Eh with his walker, got the ball away.
- 44:30Speaker 8: So then Pod Sednik goes and makes a you know,
- 44:33Speaker 8: actually he made a three there that he then Christian
- 44:35Speaker 8: Brown throws it away on the next possession. Victor not
- 44:39Speaker 8: taking care of the best turnovers. These are these are
- 44:42Speaker 8: things where you're looking at it and going that is
- 44:44Speaker 8: directly leading to a loss, the lack of taking care
- 44:48Speaker 8: of your baby. You're leaving your baby in the car
- 44:51Speaker 8: seat on top of the car and pulling out of
- 44:52Speaker 8: the driveway. That's what you're doing, and you cannot do
- 44:55Speaker 8: that anymore.
- 44:57Speaker 2: Well, I mean the turnovers I noticed that really grind
- 45:00Speaker 2: me are the ones where you're trying to make. The
- 45:04Speaker 2: ads are guilty of this, right, the extra pass, the
- 45:07Speaker 2: cool pass, the let's go here with the bault when
- 45:10Speaker 2: just make this easy pass?
- 45:12Speaker 4: Yeah, you want to see my head fall off? Do
- 45:14Speaker 4: you want to see my head fall off.
- 45:17Speaker 8: Watching guys give up shots on net to try and
- 45:21Speaker 8: force a puck through the low slot through two guys.
- 45:24Speaker 4: I'm that's what Austin Matthews did in the Olympics, right, Yes, yeah.
- 45:33Speaker 8: Yes it is, and thank god, but dude, I'm like, dude,
- 45:38Speaker 8: my head. I'm not even kidding you. I don't know
- 45:42Speaker 8: how many muscles I have in my neck. Maybe some
- 45:45Speaker 8: sort of you know, orthopedic guy could tell me. But
- 45:49Speaker 8: one of these days I'm gonna be sitting in the
- 45:50Speaker 8: booth next to Riiker and my head's just gonna fall
- 45:53Speaker 8: off and he's gonna kick it down the aisleway because
- 45:56Speaker 8: just play a simpler.
- 45:58Speaker 4: Game and you're gonna be fine. You're good. You are good,

- 46:28Speaker 4: with the the Broncos going after a guy like David
- 46:31Speaker 4: Montgomery this offseason. Well, the trade package was more than
