www.worldwidesportsradio.com. The NBA playing games begin
1:01
tonight with the number 10 seed Heat facing off against the
1:05
number 9 seed Hornets. Right now, the Hornets have the
1:09
6th best record in the NBA since January 1st, while the Heat set
1:14
a franchise record for most total points in a season, even
1:18
more than their teams that won the NBA Championships and NBA
1:23
Finals. The second game tonight will
1:25
feature the number 8 seed Trail Blazers facing off against the
1:29
number seven seed Suns. The Trail Blazers are the 9th
1:34
are ninth in the NBA as far as getting to the free throw line,
1:38
while the Suns have the six best overall defense in the NBA.
1:43
The 10th, the number 10 seed Warriors will face off against
1:46
the number 9 seed Clippers. The Warriors had their worst
1:50
offensive season in the Steph Curry era, ranking 22nd in the
1:55
NBA, while the Clippers have also been hot since January 1st
2:00
after having the worst record in the NBA at one point.
2:05
The last game features the number 8 seed Magic taking on
2:08
the number seven seed Sixers. The Magic are the 4th are fourth
2:12
in the NBA in perimeter defense, while the 76ers are second in
2:17
the NBA as far as getting to the free throw line.
2:21
All numbers that nobody gives a crap about.
2:25
South. For all the fans out there, that
2:27
is not me giving you that take. I'm going to go from game to
2:31
game and I'm going to give you my honest opinion.
2:34
First game of the night is the Charlotte Hornets and the Heat.
2:39
Charlotte Lamilla Ball, the talent they might have the
2:42
rookie of the year. Charlotte might have the rookie
2:44
of the year playing on this team and this roster at one of the
2:48
best young 3 point shooters in the NBA today right now.
2:53
And he's going to be fighting with Cooper Flag to win that, to
2:57
win that MVP rookie of the year, whatever you want to call it.
3:01
The Hornets, to me, are better than the Miami Heat.
3:06
The second tier offense that they're bringing, Bam Auto Bio's
3:10
great Tyler Heroes. There's not enough depth on this
3:15
Heat team. This is not the same Heat team
3:17
with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade and LeBron James.
3:20
Even when Jimmy Buckets was there and they were building the
3:23
team around him and they had Bam Auto Bio and Tyler Hero and all
3:27
the talent that they had when they went to the Finals, when
3:30
they knocked off the Boston Celtics.
3:32
I love to add that because I know Q is a Celtic fan.
3:35
Oh boy. But here's the facts.
3:38
I think the Hornets, the Hornets are one of the more dangerous
3:43
young teams right now going through the playing games and if
3:47
they knock off the Heat and the Heat's going to be very, very
3:49
hard. They have a great all world
3:51
coach. I think obviously we we can
3:53
argue that they have the best coach in the NBA.
3:57
What I seen the Hornets do this year, young, up and coming, fun
4:03
to watch. These guys are together.
4:05
This is the first time we don't hear Lavelle, what was his name?
4:09
Ball Lavar. Ball Laval Lavar him talking
4:13
about his big ball or whatever the hell is bowling sneakers or
4:16
his hats, which by the way, completely fallen.
4:19
I don't even think they they sell those hats, sell those
4:22
those sneakers anymore. What do they call that?
4:25
What was the Baller brand? Big baller.
4:27
Brand. That nobody cares.
4:28
About. Yeah, nobody cares.
4:31
They haven't sold enough and I'm surprised they're still around.
4:35
The to me, what the Charlotte Hornets have done this year,
4:37
especially in the second-half of the season, has proven that this
4:41
team can come from nowhere and become something they they
4:44
drafted a kid. He was the 4th pick of the draft
4:47
and and has become such a face for this organization.
4:51
And I know he's a Duke Blue Devil and I like to give Duke
4:55
fan, Duke fan something to cheer about.
4:57
They've got one of the Canoople is is a sensational player.
5:02
He's sensational and I think he's not only up and coming, he
5:05
might be one of the faces of American basketball in the
5:08
future. This guy can shoot.
5:10
I'm not saying he's Steph Curry, but his shot is so relentless.
5:13
He's got such a sweet touch at the three-point line.
5:17
I, I think the Charlotte Hornets are as dangerous as any team
5:21
right now going into the playoffs, even as what is that?
5:26
What are they a ninth seed? I I think they're as dangerous
5:28
any if they can get out of this playing game heats, the Heat's
5:32
very dangerous because they've been here.
5:34
They've got a great coach. I believe the Heat can come out
5:37
of nowhere and and beat a young Charlotte team, but I don't
5:40
think it's going to happen this year.
5:41
I think they're fun to watch, so we'll go from game to game.
5:44
I think Charlotte is the better team.
5:46
I think they have two young studs.
5:48
I think they're bench. They have got a great depth on
5:50
their bench and I think their coach has proven I I would say
5:54
their coach is up for a coach of the year.
5:55
He's had a sensational year. Yeah, they're one of those
5:57
teams, teams that they lost one playing game and they still
6:00
ended up winning the second one and still going into the NBA
6:02
Finals as the AC when they beat your Celtics.
6:04
Q But they don't have that luxury this year.
6:06
They're one and done if they don't fend off a top Hornets
6:08
team because the Hornets, they shoot threes like crazy.
6:10
They have an offensive efficiency rating that's very
6:12
high. And Miami's not the same defense
6:14
they once were either. They've tried to patch it
6:16
together. Like you said, Errol Spoelstra
6:18
scheme is as good as it gets defensively.
6:20
But again, you could only do so much when you don't have Jimmy
6:22
Butler there anymore for a full season.
6:23
You brought a Norman Powell Goodman good this year, but they
6:26
don't have a lot of other guys beyond and that and they can
6:28
only patch so much together in an Eastern Conference that
6:30
really got deep all of a sudden. It's the same kind of thing in
6:32
the NHL. Let's the NHL playoffs on
6:33
Thursday. The east was so top heavy for
6:35
all of a sudden for a while. Then your Hawks got hot queue,
6:38
the Sixers got hot and my and the and the Charlotte Hornets
6:41
got hot. And now you're looking at those
6:43
teams as young teams that are hungry and have nothing to lose.
6:46
And if the Hornets can get any level of defense, this is
6:49
definitely a team that could be pesky in the first round for
6:52
anybody. Yeah.
6:55
Who? Who's Steve Clifford?
6:56
Who is he under What coach umbrella is he under?
6:59
Anybody know? I am not, Sir.
7:01
Clifford's been. He's been an assistant coach in
7:04
the NBA for a very, very long time.
7:06
I mean, he's bounced around here recently.
7:08
He's. Been in a couple, he's been on a
7:10
couple. I what would speed give me?
7:11
I think it was. Van Gundy Tree.
7:13
He's the Van Gundy Tree. Van Gu.
7:15
So I would say Pat Riley tree. That's pretty much because if
7:19
that's where Van Gundy comes from the Tom Thibodeau, it
7:22
doesn't matter what tree he comes from because to me what
7:26
his his understanding how to develop young players.
7:29
Van Gundy had problems developing Stan and Jeff had
7:32
problems developing young players.
7:34
So in basketball, it's not like the NFL.
7:37
Oh, what tree is he under? It doesn't really matter because
7:40
if you would say that you look at Gregg Popovich tree, a lot of
7:43
these guys were great regular season coaches.
7:46
Were they that really, I know what Steve, but Steve Kerr went
7:50
to an old World Team, a young Steph Curry, a young Klay
7:54
Thompson, a young Draymond Green.
7:55
It doesn't matter about what tree he came under.
7:58
I, I think what's impressive is how you develop these young
8:01
players and how they follow you. So I, I disagree with you.
8:04
I now I'd like to hear your take when it comes to trees, because
8:08
basketball trees mean nothing. Just say it means a lot.
8:12
It means. And depending on who you come up
8:14
under would dictate your future. And we've seen that on numerous
8:17
occasions. Yeah, give me one Charlotte.
8:20
Charlotte Harlot, huh? Give.
8:21
Me one. He's come under Pat Riley and he
8:24
just turned these kids around, right?
8:25
What are you talking about? Who you talking about Spoelstra?
8:29
Yeah, all. Right.
8:30
Spoelstra been there forever. Spoelstra's been.
8:32
There, but no, I was saying he's he's been there for I'll talk
8:35
about for the Miami Heat, but he's had success, correct.
8:38
Yeah, he's a success. I mean also.
8:40
Coach his success, his success of talent OR do you consider?
8:44
Talent, talent. He's a great coach, but look who
8:47
he coached. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and
8:50
Chris Bosh at the at a high level.
8:53
And he had Ray Allen as a secondary player.
8:55
Pretty damn good. Miami.
8:56
I think I would have won. Championship title in the used
8:59
to conference championship. Damn it.
9:01
Every year, right? Let me ask you a question now.
9:04
Spoelstra was the coach. I got a question for you.
9:06
I got a very good question. When Pat Riley, when Pat Riley
9:11
came to the Heat and when Shaq came to, he was traded or he
9:16
went to the lake from the Lakers to the Heat, what did Pat Riley
9:19
do? What did he do?
9:22
He was the GM of the team, He was running the organization.
9:25
What did he do 1? 110%.
9:28
What did he do? He became, He went from the GM
9:30
to head coach, did he not? Did he not do that?
9:34
OK. And who took over after that?
9:39
OK, so if he trusted Spoelstra that he can win a champion
9:43
championship with an aldershack and a young Dwyane Wade,
9:48
wouldn't you think he would have brought Spoelstra in right away
9:51
to coach that team? I'm not saying Spoelstra is not
9:53
great. Spoelstra, to me, he's done a
9:56
fantastic job as a head coach. I think he's one of the best
9:59
coaches right now in the NBA. But it took him a while.
10:03
It took a long while. But Q.
10:06
But Q he also got better after even LeBron left too.
10:10
If he trusted Spoelstra for such a long time, why didn't he?
10:13
Why didn't he become the head coach of that Dwyane Wade
10:15
Shaquille O'Neal team? It don't matter Wendy became He
10:18
came when he was hired to be the head coach.
10:20
You don't matter if he did. He was there as an assistant for
10:23
such a long time, doesn't. Matter.
10:25
Quality control coach or something like that.
10:28
Yeah, so that makes a difference.
10:29
So I don't understand why he get he get knocked he.
10:32
Doesn't matter because I'm looking at the NBA.
10:34
You're telling me? Because you're telling me trees,
10:37
you're looking at trees, You're comparing these guys for where
10:40
they come up in the trees. I'm going to tell you this.
10:42
In the NBA, there is no comparison by looking at what
10:45
these, what these guys were grown up as, as on the tree,
10:49
that means anything. It's all about talent in the
10:51
NBA. It doesn't matter about trees.
10:53
Errol Maybe not a tree, but you make a good point.
10:55
Q Like at least I think your point, Errol, is that Spoelstra
11:00
It's not about a tree with him, but I think it's about something
11:02
else. It's about Pat Riley taking a
11:04
shine to him. That's what it is.
11:06
Pat Riley decided this is the golden child.
11:09
I'm going to give him all my knowledge and look at what
11:12
happened. This is a rare thing.
11:13
Spoelstra not you don't see guys get lumped.
11:16
Like it's kind of almost like a Parcells Belichick thing, You
11:19
know where it's like, this is going to be the guy I'm going to
11:22
train. Him, and I'm going to tell you
11:23
how you're wrong about that to hear this.
11:26
He trusted in Jeff Van Gundy to take over the New York Knicks.
11:29
Did he win? Did he win?
11:30
Hold on to say yes or no. Yes.
11:33
How about this Dan Van Gundy? He was also on the bench of that
11:36
team. Did he ever win?
11:37
How about this Tom Thibodeau? Did he ever win?
11:40
Spoelstra got LeBron James, Dwayne Dwyane Wade and Chris
11:45
Bosh in the primes of their career.
11:47
That's when he won. So you're going to sit here and
11:50
you're going to tell me, well, he trusted him.
11:51
He trusted in a lot of guys, and all of them failed.
11:54
So you're wrong. It doesn't matter.
11:56
About that ain't failing. It's not the same though.
12:01
I'm telling you that the NFL is different from the NBA.
12:04
You do. It doesn't matter.
12:05
About tree football and basketball.
12:07
You're right, that tree doesn't mean anything.
12:09
But Riley left, you know? Riley left like a coward,
12:13
though, in the middle of the night.
12:14
That was the thing Riley left he didn't like.
12:16
That's the niche fault. That's the niche that.
12:18
Was well, maybe it is the Knicks fault.
12:20
I'm not going to say it wasn't. There was a lot going on with
12:22
the Dolan, like I think it was the Dolan's father back then.
12:25
But what he's done here, this was literally like, like kind of
12:30
like like a Kung Fu movie. This is my protege.
12:33
He's the sensei. It was something like that.
12:35
And he trusted him with LeBron. He proved him right because he
12:39
was successful with LeBron. And then, although they haven't
12:42
won, has anyone ever complained about his coaching since then?
12:45
Nobody's saying that Spoelstra is not good.
12:48
It's not. About his drink.
12:50
No, Yes, when he won those championships had everything to
12:53
do with talent. Here's the thing.
12:55
Here's the thing. Here's how I'm going to point
12:56
that Spoelstra had no had no understanding of what this team
13:01
was going to be The first year LeBron went there with that
13:04
talent. Where did they go?
13:06
Where did they go? The.
13:08
First year First year they lost in the.
13:09
Finals. They went to the finals against
13:10
and they lost against The Mavericks.
13:12
OK, they lost against The Mavericks.
13:14
Now, don't you think because he's such a great coach he
13:17
should have won that championship you go all the way
13:19
to? Dallas doesn't mean you win it
13:21
every time. The fact here is, the fact here
13:24
is it has nothing to do with the tree.
13:26
He developed into a great coach, yes, but you're going to tell me
13:29
Pat Riley's coaching his tree has been successful?
13:33
No. How about this?
13:35
Greg Popovich's tree is successful because he had Steve
13:37
Kerr. But Steve Kerr decided not to
13:40
take the Knicks job because he didn't want to coach the new New
13:42
York Knicks because they had no talent there.
13:44
He went over there to Golden State because he knew that Mark
13:47
Jackson had this team playing but not playing offensively at a
13:51
high, at a high level. I'm telling you, it's a fact.
13:55
But get no credit. So four time champion just just
13:58
fell in line because he had talent.
13:59
Talent. Yes, NBA is all about talent.
14:02
Yes, yeah, you don't, You don't see the schemes, you don't see
14:05
the the half court schemes. You think they just out there
14:08
just run around? Do you know that?
14:10
You don't know do you know? Do you know to get those 3
14:14
pointers? Do you see the down screens?
14:17
I'm going to tell you, do you. See the black door passes?
14:19
Do you see how he set up Klay Thompson for the three?
14:22
I'm just understanding. Like you should make it seem
14:24
like these guys just show up and just shoot the basketball and it
14:28
just works in a favor and they just win championships.
14:31
That is not it. Yes, you don't have to give them
14:34
all the credit, but. See how I let you talk?
14:36
Just so you know, you see how I let you?
14:37
Talk. Yeah, you just interrupted me.
14:39
OK, yeah, I interrupted you because you're completely wrong.
14:43
You're completely. Most NBA teams run 5 plays
14:46
offensively and and, and really two defensive style of defenses.
14:50
Yes, they either play the 2332 or they play zone or they play
14:54
man. That's what the teams do.
14:56
They don't change the defense around.
14:58
It's not the NFL where you have all these different styles of
15:02
defense that you can run, dime, nickel, all this garbage.
15:05
It's different. No, it's not.
15:08
No, it doesn't. It's everything to do with
15:12
talent. It's everything to do with
15:14
talent. You're going to tell me right
15:16
now if you run, if you're a great coach and you run a great
15:19
system, you if without talent, you're going to win a
15:22
championship in the NBA. Because the truth is, no.
15:24
Who Who's done it? Who's done it?
15:27
Who's done it? Who's done?
15:29
It the Clippers won the Tyron, who won it?
15:32
Who's done it? Who's done it?
15:34
Stop. You're trying to sell me the.
15:36
Person never won a championship. Please stop.
15:40
You're arguing I meant Raptor Raptors.
15:42
The Raptors. They had Kawhi Leonard.
15:44
They had to. That's it.
15:45
Yeah, that's it. That's it, Kawhi Leonard.
15:50
They're first of all, as far as their team in their roster, the
15:54
Raptors had probably the most depth, especially throughout the
15:58
playoffs. They were the best bench team in
16:00
the playoffs that year. And this guy took 3 Golden State
16:02
Warriors to go down for them to win?
16:05
Sure. Yeah, they also had OG as like a
16:07
bench player on that team, which was incredible how deep they
16:10
were. I agree with SO.
16:12
I think I with both of you and part of both of your arguments.
16:16
Personally, I, I don't think it's a tree in basketball, but I
16:19
also think if I was coaching basketball and I called every
16:22
single play of the game and like I do in a football game, the
16:26
guys wouldn't listen to me by like the fifth time.
16:28
But in football, you're supposed to listen to the coach.
16:30
I mean, the coach may give you some freedom to call things, but
16:33
it's way more coach intensive in football than basketball.
16:35
I agree with you on that, Errol, But I, I, you know, look, they.
16:39
Didn't on the team because if you look at Boston, go to that
16:44
every time out, are you going out different days so.
16:47
This is the first year. This is the first.
16:51
This is the first year that Joe Missoula, I could say, actually
16:54
had a good coaching year. Yeah, absolutely.
16:57
He said he had to finish. That's his second in his
17:00
coaching tenure. That is a Celtic fan, ladies and
17:03
gentlemen, A Celtic fan. This is coming.
17:05
No, I'm just telling the truth at this point.
17:07
That's your truth. This is Gorbache.
17:11
Don't put a coach on the bench and let the players go out there
17:13
and play and watch it get done. That's not it.
17:17
That's not going to happen. That's what you're selling.
17:19
No, that's what you said. Oh, you're selling.
17:21
I'm telling you, I'm telling you.
17:22
That's a bag of. Garbage.
17:24
That's a bag of garbage. It's like happy, I'm sorry,
17:26
Billy Madison going to a, you know, going up, you know, to a
17:30
door, knocking on a door and putting a bag of crap at the
17:32
door because they think he thinks somebody's going to step
17:35
in it. What a bunch of garbage.
17:37
This is a bunch of garbage. This is that's what it is
17:40
because the honest God truth, and I'm going to go back to it
17:43
because I want to get into these games and I want to finish.
17:45
Up. Yeah, let's go.
17:45
With this, my argument here is it don't matter about the
17:49
system. It doesn't.
17:51
It matters about the talent. That's what it's always been in
17:55
the NBA. So why do they draw?
17:56
Players League. Why in the last?
17:58
Who draws up the play? Of it on 18th of a second, you
18:01
got an out of bound place and you try to win the game.
18:03
They actually run a play. Why would you do that?
18:06
All you got to do is give it to the star.
18:08
He's going to shoot it. They make the.
18:10
Shot. Everybody needs the coach, Phil
18:12
Jackson Jordan. Jordan tells people all the time
18:16
that he needed Phil Jackson. He needed that team.
18:20
He's the greatest of all time, so he's the greatest that needed
18:23
a coach for everybody else to just show up and shoot, show up.
18:26
And let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question.
18:29
When Michael Jordan retired, how many championships did Phil
18:31
Jackson win with the Chicago Bulls?
18:35
After he left, he went no, he didn't win none.
18:36
He. Didn't win.
18:37
None. Did he ever play in the finals
18:39
without Michael Jordan? Did he ever win?
18:42
That's not my question. Answer the damn question.
18:45
Answer the damn question. Answer the question.
18:48
Did he ever play in the finals without Michael Jordan?
18:52
I think they did one time with Dennis Trotman, right?
18:54
No. No, they never did.
18:56
What's? The Eastern Conference finals.
18:57
Lost Dennis Rodman Dennis Rodman Dennis Rodman.
19:01
Got to account for something. Dennis Rodman didn't come to the
19:04
team until Michael Jordan came back.
19:06
It was Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan that talked.
19:08
Scottie Pippen talk yes spoke yes, Scottie Pippen and Michael
19:11
Jordan that spoke to the organization and bringing Dennis
19:15
Rodman because the organization didn't want to bring a crazy guy
19:18
that dresses like a drag queen and acts like a complete idiot
19:22
all over social media. OK, well, there was no social
19:25
media. Newspapers Newspapers At the
19:27
time there was no social. This is the same guy that put
19:30
Icy hot on his balls. Yeah, he did a lot of.
19:32
Yeah, That's that's. Me, that's me, I said to the
19:35
people for doing the. One and only.
19:37
And you did something like that? The one and only.
19:39
He did it. He did it.
19:41
Our friend Jeremy Mince, he's like third time on the show and
19:43
he got like so freaked out. On it, that's what I'm saying.
19:46
Hey, listen, you dare me. These guys and he would have
19:48
judged Dennis. Well, it just shows you how much
19:50
bulls you have, buddy, because you wouldn't do it.
19:54
You wouldn't do it. Have desire to.
19:56
You don't have desires because you won't take a bet, and you
19:59
won't win and argue a bet because the fact.
20:02
Here is push up bet. The push up bet, that's an easy
20:05
bet, dude. That's an easy bet that's not.
20:07
There's nothing impressive about doing push ups.
20:10
They do it every day. Yeah, but let me finish with
20:13
Charlotte, though. Charlotte is a great team.
20:15
They definitely probably the most improved team this year,
20:17
but I don't think they're going to make it past the heat tonight
20:21
unless Bam never shows up. But I think he did come back.
20:24
But the Heat just got too much experience there.
20:26
Well coached team, although NBA team don't need coaches, but
20:29
they're well coached team and I do.
20:31
I don't think that Charlotte has enough.
20:33
They did have a good run this year and it's going to be well.
20:36
But overall, I think Miami Heat pulled it, pulled out on this
20:39
one and then next year I think when it may have a chance of
20:43
making the playoffs. Yeah, Charlotte, I think is
20:45
something that you look at, there are three points shooting
20:47
bonanza. It's the wave of the league now
20:49
their defense, it's a matter of time if they can actually get it
20:51
going. But I think with the experience
20:54
that that the Heat has, they're going to make it pesky.
20:56
I just don't think Q, they're the same defensive team that
20:58
they used to. Be how many times did you fall
21:00
in your head today? I mean, honestly, I think you,
21:03
you might have fell in your head maybe six or seven times today
21:06
because you're, you're completely out of whack today.
21:08
But go ahead. No, I don't believe that it.
21:11
I don't. I don't think that my Miami do
21:14
anything in the postseason even if they do beat the shot owners
21:17
and solidify playoff spot. I don't.
21:20
Think they do, I just don't. Think Charlotte has an
21:23
opportunity to actually do anything or get because of the
21:28
ball play and because he plays so wild.
21:31
I just think it's so unpredictable that they can
21:33
actually contend and guard that because it's just so
21:36
unpredictable. All right, so the Trail Blazers
21:39
facing off against the Suns, 2 teams that I didn't believe
21:42
we're going to be here. You think about Kevin Durant, he
21:46
parts ways with the organization.
21:48
He goes to Houston and then Portland.
21:50
I mean, with everything what happened with Bill UPS going
21:54
into the season and and all the craziness that's happened,
21:58
Henderson was really not developed into a player that
22:01
they thought were they were going to build their team and
22:02
their organization around. I I'm very shocked that the
22:06
Trail Blazers in the second-half of the season has played at such
22:09
a high level. They really have played very,
22:10
very well. I would never have thought that
22:12
these two teams would be in the position that they are.
22:15
We understand what the Suns have been as an organization over the
22:19
last couple of years. They were right there.
22:22
They were on a cusp. They at 1:00, we're in the
22:25
Finals, so it's not like they can't get there.
22:28
They just don't have the talent right now.
22:29
And the Trail Blazers, whoever wins this, this series is
22:32
probably going to get knocked out in the first round.
22:35
Whoever they're matched up against, this is a playing game.
22:37
They play what, three games? The best out of three?
22:39
The winner moves on. So it's not the best of three.
22:42
So. So the loser gets to play the
22:44
winner of the Clippers Warriors game.
22:45
Well, didn't they have the best out of three at one time?
22:48
So they never so that was baseball.
22:50
Well, that's, I think that the NBA needs to fix this because
22:55
you work so hard. You work so hard to play in
22:58
these playing games and one game, one loss.
23:02
I know this. You're going to say the NFL does
23:03
it. This is different.
23:05
It's all about competition. You want to sell, you want to
23:08
sell jerseys, you want to sell out stadiums.
23:11
You, you want to see these guys earn, you have to.
23:13
I would play 3 games and the best out of three.
23:16
That's what I would do. So Errol, just let me break it
23:20
down for you because you might actually like it.
23:21
The seven eight game and the 910 game are two separate of the
23:24
first games. If you are the seven or eight
23:26
seed, if you win that, you're in.
23:29
If you lose it, you have double elimination.
23:32
So then they go and play the winner of the 910 game.
23:36
Since you're 910, it's single elimination for you.
23:40
I don't I don't get why the NBA in these in professional sports
23:43
change these rules up. They they just ruin the game.
23:47
It just doesn't. Make you try to add 6 more
23:50
games. Yeah, because it makes more
23:51
sense. What I would do is I wouldn't
23:53
have, I honestly wouldn't have what, 11 teams, right?
23:58
11 teams, 10 teams. So I would have two teams.
24:00
They're the playing teams and I would have them play three games
24:05
and the best out of three gets into that, you know, playing
24:07
that playing game. There shouldn't be 10 teams that
24:10
get a playing game because I just don't like it.
24:13
I don't like how it makes, it doesn't make any sense.
24:15
And it, you know, well, this team is a seventh seed or this
24:18
team's an eighth seed. And that that same thing with
24:20
the NBA tournament in the middle of the season.
24:22
It's great to watch the Knicks win, but it makes no sense.
24:25
What do they get out of it, $100,000 each?
24:28
It makes no sense. I don't get it.
24:30
So it always gets the answer. I did it.
24:32
I was always we would play game because there's too.
24:35
Many, yeah. With that 500, yeah.
24:38
It's I don't like. That they give that money, they
24:41
get taxed. You know I said that about the
24:44
NFL, but didn't like the beast Quake run by Marshawn Lynch
24:47
happened the year that the the Seahawks were under 500 when
24:50
they made the playoffs. That's the.
24:51
Division set up that wasn't expanded playoffs.
24:53
But it's still the same idea. We have these got these teams
24:56
that are below 500 teams pretending they're playoff
24:59
teams, and we've seen them be garbage all year.
25:02
What we know the Warriors are trashed this year.
25:05
Nobody wants to watch them right now.
25:07
Steph Curry can't even play. If he's going to get out there,
25:10
he's barely going to going to be able to be a shell of himself,
25:12
he streamlined. But he's going to.
25:15
And maybe they even win. They're going to win, but but
25:17
they're going to win. But guess what?
25:19
He's not going to be healthy enough to to run a series.
25:22
And they're going to get embarrassed and it's going to be
25:23
shameful, but they want money. Earl, you know why this is
25:26
happening? It's more money for the.
25:28
NBA It's not making any sense. Why not just keep it like it was
25:31
originally with the first top eight teams, get it, and then
25:34
just move? Because there's four more.
25:35
Games, yeah, but this is just nonsense basketball.
25:39
Like, no, nobody wins in this. I mean, yes, it's definitely for
25:42
money, but then you already added the player in tenement, so
25:44
you getting the money on the front end.
25:46
So my my thing is you we're basically this false hope.
25:49
It's like what we do now in competition, everybody gets an
25:52
award. Even though you suck and you
25:53
came in last two hours ago, now you get a reward to participate.
25:58
But that's the problem with sports.
26:00
A lot of people, a lot of parents are complaining about it
26:02
because how do you learn as a young kid?
26:05
How do you learn to lose? How do you learn to win if
26:07
everybody's getting trophies, everybody's getting ribbons, and
26:10
that's what you're teaching right now in the NBA.
26:12
Well, you're a superstar player. You're making millions and
26:15
millions of dollars. All you got to do is sneak in
26:17
and be a 10 seed or a ninth seed and maybe, maybe you can make a
26:21
run all the way to the Finals. I guarantee you we'll never see
26:24
a 10 seed ever win a championship.
26:26
It's not going to happen in the NBA.
26:28
It's just not. The fact here is the, the, the
26:31
way you look at Steph Curry, Steph Curry makes that team much
26:34
better, much better. And that's why, even though I
26:37
think the Clippers have been one of the hotter teams in the
26:40
second-half and Kawhi Leonard's having one of his best years
26:43
because he's going to be looking for a big contract in the
26:45
offseason. As long as nobody's paying him
26:46
under the table. I mean, all the crap that we
26:49
heard. I I mean, he's trying to make
26:52
sure that he can spin the wheel and make the deal at the end of
26:54
the season. If the Clippers or Kawhi Leonard
26:56
wants to prove his worth to an NBA team, he better knock off
27:00
the Warriors, healthy or not. You know, Steph Curry is going
27:02
to put up a 30 spot and you know Steph Curry is going to play his
27:06
ass off because he believes that this team somehow could sneak in
27:10
and make a run. And I'm going to tell you this,
27:12
if there's anybody can do it as a 10 seed that maybe can get
27:15
this team in the second round or maybe the Western Conference
27:17
finals, it's Steph Curry. And I, everybody thinks I pick
27:19
on Steph Curry. I do not pick on Steph Curry.
27:22
If I see what he is as a player and what he stands for, I give
27:26
him credit. And I do believe that the the
27:28
Warriors are much better than that.
27:30
They're rated as a 10 seed. They're much better than a ten
27:33
seed. Yeah, the talent wise, they
27:34
definitely were always better than a 10 seed.
27:35
It's just a matter of their team staying healthy and their team
27:37
just being very old, as Steve Kerr complained about five times
27:40
already all year to change the rules because their team is old.
27:42
But yeah, the Clippers are just as old as they are and they're
27:45
hot. It's hot versus experience type
27:47
thing, and it's what you guys were debating about before that.
27:50
I actually had the opposite thinking.
27:51
Qi thought they should have reduced the playoffs at six like
27:54
baseball has. You want to reward load
27:56
management. All these players want to rest
27:58
during the regular season. Now there's these 60.
27:59
Five. And don't hire Tom Thibodeau.
28:01
Don't. Hire Tom Thibodeau Yeah, but
28:03
there's now there's a 65 game debate for that same.
28:05
Reason Yum Yum. I am a LED.
28:07
Those guys with extra for arrest by making the one and two seeds
28:09
the byes play 3 versus 6 you don't have now this year.
28:11
That's not the same prongs. There's not as many under 500
28:13
teams in the playoffs this year. But like I was saying.
28:15
Squeeze the cheese. The Suns or the Trailblazers to
28:18
knock off the Spurs or in the Blazers case and knock off the
28:21
defending champion 64 win OKC Thunder at this point.
28:24
And that's the problem that I think this playing team has.
28:26
The team. Like I was saying, they rebuilt
28:28
well after the Durant trade and stuff like that.
28:29
Their GM has done a good job, but they're still rebuilding.
28:31
The Trail Blazers are still all over the place, going anywhere.
28:36
It's, you know, this guy doesn't have a breath.
28:38
Anybody. This guy doesn't have a breath.
28:40
I mean, I there's a. Thing.
28:44
There's a thing. There's a thing called
28:46
breathing, ladies and gentlemen. Stop.
28:51
Leave him alone, man. Breathe.
28:52
It's not like you you're you're pregnanting or you're you're
28:55
giving. Birth to He was comfortable, he
28:57
gave his take. Breathe.
28:58
Yeah, well, your takes have been outlandishly.
29:00
Crazy. I, I'll tell you this, some of
29:03
your crazy, the Bronny James thing, I mean, absolutely
29:05
outlandish and some of this craziness.
29:07
I, if you actually believe this, I'm starting to worry.
29:10
I'm I'm really starting to worry.
29:12
Now, Q Here's the real question. If Eric Spoelstra coached Bronny
29:15
James, would he be turned as good as he would think?
29:19
While he's breathing after he. Left because, because because
29:22
Ronnie actually is a defensive player, so I think he would Oh
29:25
so. You you call that defensive
29:28
playing? Come on, please.
29:31
Are you actually going to sell that you're selling?
29:34
That Ronnie James. Could actually play defense, is
29:37
that what you're saying? Yeah, he can.
29:39
You're on drugs. But.
29:40
You're on drugs. You would definitely on
29:42
something. He's definitely.
29:43
What were you smoking wherever you were?
29:48
I mean, it was. I thought it was Jacksonville.
29:50
You know what was Jackson? You know what?
29:51
I. Know, I know.
29:52
That's a smoking state, ladies and gentlemen.
29:54
You know what your problem is? You compare everything to the
29:57
top. No, I don't.
29:58
That's the problem. No, I don't.
29:59
Everything to the top. Never do anything on this show
30:02
I. Never do that.
30:03
Average in between in the middle liar discredited because it
30:07
ain't the top liar that's the problem.
30:09
Never do it. Never see past the top.
30:10
What are you? Talking about it, yes, I do.
30:13
Absolutely. Do you should see him during
30:15
football season? You should see how many years
30:16
he's picked against the Chiefs. I, I absolutely don't look at
30:20
the top. I always look at the bottom and
30:23
I always are outlandishly crazy when it comes to making my picks
30:27
on who's going to win a championship because I'm not
30:30
like everybody else. Oh, this.
30:32
They're the bona fide team. You picked Arizona.
30:34
I told you Arizona wasn't winning.
30:36
I told. You you pick Perdue.
30:38
Yeah, I'll tell you this right now, I Perdue had a better
30:42
chance of winning a champion. They did it.
30:44
Yes, they did. Yes they did.
30:46
If if. Perdue played Michigan.
30:47
They beat. Michigan, you keep talking
30:49
about, you stop saying. It by the way, dude, I don't
30:52
admit. It to the final Four.
30:53
By the way, you did not beat me in points because we were tied.
30:57
So you were yapping your mouth and not Lucky you, dude.
31:03
You picked a team that I believed had to me had no
31:06
shooting ability at the three-point line.
31:08
And I knew they weren't winning a championship.
31:10
They couldn't shoot a lick at the three-point line.
31:13
And now all of a sudden you hid, you're going to hide behind the
31:16
camera. You're going to dance and prance
31:18
around here. Yeah, you're right there.
31:20
This camera, I'm a little lost. This camera, I don't know.
31:23
You're not looking at it. You're not looking at it.
31:26
There you are. Maybe Arizona need to push James
31:28
to save them. Anyways, the last game.
31:32
Yeah, they should have sub Bryce in.
31:33
The last game we got the magic in the Sixers and a lot of
31:37
people think that if the Sixers get out of this round, they
31:41
would be matched up possibly against the Knicks.
31:43
And nobody wants the Sixers and the Knicks to play because they
31:47
the Sixers. But what are you going to say,
31:49
Fish? What?
31:50
What are? You the Knicks, are playing the
31:51
Hawks. All right, so that's even worse.
31:53
That's even worse. So the fixers this would be to
31:57
play the Celtics. Who would be Tuesday?
32:00
Well, good. It's a loss either way.
32:01
You don't. Know it's a loss either.
32:03
Way. I mean, I'd rather play the
32:04
Celtics than. I mean, we beat the, we beat the
32:06
magic with our backups. We didn't even.
32:08
So a lot of Nick fans, I was on a Nick show over the last week,
32:13
week and 1/2 and shout out to Quran and Maxine.
32:16
They do such a great job. We were doing Knicks war room
32:19
and and they were back and forth banter.
32:21
All the fans out there. We we love I, I love all the
32:23
guys and gals that were listening to the show and listen
32:26
to me and Quran argue about my take and his take and Giannis
32:30
got brought up a lot. My thought here is a lot of the
32:33
fans, a lot of the Knick fans, out of all the teams that were
32:35
available in the playing game, they were afraid that the Knicks
32:39
would be matched up against the Sixers because of the talent and
32:42
because of the the ability they have with Joel Embiid and Paul,
32:48
George and Maxi. They're more dangerous because
32:51
they have the better older stars.
32:54
And I would say this, the 76ers, you want to see the 76ers come
33:00
out of this round because I don't think the magics have a
33:02
chance against the Celtics. I think the 76ers actually do.
33:06
I like Nurse as a coach. He actually won a championship.
33:08
You make you could giggle all you want.
33:11
I don't know what the Celtics. I don't know what the Celtics
33:13
are, guy. I don't know what they are.
33:16
I really don't what Jason Tatum is coming back from a major
33:19
injury. He is.
33:21
He's almost averaging the triple dump.
33:22
Yeah, well, he didn't do so well in Madison Square Garden, did
33:25
he? He didn't have enough.
33:28
He didn't have enough Nick Nurse.
33:30
He didn't. Have enough 23, nine and six or
33:33
something like that. That's not enough.
33:34
No. It wasn't enough to win, but you
33:37
can't say that's not enough you. Know, I like Jason Tatum, but I
33:40
don't know what Jason Tatum is. I don't know what Jason Tatum
33:43
is. And we got to see if Jason Tatum
33:45
is going to be able to play at a high level.
33:47
And by the way, there are games, there are series that Jason
33:50
Tatum disappears in, so you could say whatever you want.
33:54
Series. Series that he's disappeared in,
33:56
yeah. OK, yeah.
33:58
See what we're talking? About, you know, the
33:59
interesting, the interesting thing about this series and
34:02
Speedy, I was talking to you about this earlier today, the
34:05
coach. Lulu.
34:07
May get fired if they lose this game.
34:10
He's the only other coach and we're going to talk about Doc
34:12
getting fired after the break, but this guy might get fired.
34:15
They had a they had this position locked down a couple of
34:19
months ago and then they fell all the way into this playing
34:22
game. It they no showed, like you
34:24
said, Q the Celtics were playing Baylor Shireman like 40 minutes
34:28
in that game. He put up like 23 points.
34:31
He took put up Tatum numbers against this Orlando team.
34:34
And it and it wasn't just him. It was a bunch of guys like
34:36
their 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th guys in the Celtics
34:39
rotation schooled the Magic in a game they had to win.
34:43
Unbelievable. But the Sixers don't have him
34:46
beat. He had an appendicitis.
34:47
He ain't coming back. So it it looks like it's going
34:50
to be a depleted Sixers roster. Was still a great player in Maxi
34:54
and a great young player in Edgecomb against this pretty
34:58
miser miserable Magic team with a coach that's probably.
35:01
On I would say the 76ers are dangerous if they they get out
35:05
of this round, they are they're dangerous.
35:07
They have they have weapons, they have weapons and Joel
35:10
Embiid, if you get even 1/4 of Joel Embiid, that's going.
35:14
To get you 2010 he can't play is.
35:16
He. Is he not playing an emergency
35:18
appendectomy? He's out.
35:19
Of a month. Hold on one second, you say he's
35:22
done. It's a month.
35:23
Can't play? It's a month.
35:24
Yeah, that'd be done if they beat home by the time.
35:26
If they beat the Celtics, then he's not done.
35:28
He's. Not going to beat the Celtics.
35:30
How do you know? I like code in hell it.
35:33
Would have to be like conference finals where he would come back,
35:36
I think the way that the time. Frame what's the record?
35:39
What else did this year? US versus the 70 census.
35:43
Who knows anyways. It doesn't matter.
35:45
But here's the thing though, they they have.
35:46
We got to move on. I don't want to talk.
35:48
About I see the sisters are actually good.
35:50
No, we didn't talk about that thing because you were so.
35:52
There's nothing to talk about. It's motivated to hate on the
35:55
sentence. No, I'm not hating on the
35:57
subject. I'm listening to your rubbishly
35:59
crazy takes on Brownie James. It's crazy.
36:03
Still talking about Brian? Yes, because it's crazy.
36:06
And then you're telling me it's all about basketball trees for
36:10
coaches. It makes no sense.
36:12
None. I don't know what you're
36:14

36:17
You are absolutely lost. Ladies and gentlemen, That man

36:50
Come on, What are you doing? Here.
36:51
Hey, so now you. Now what did I say?
36:54
He hit his head six or seven times and you try to stick up
36:58

37:40

37:43
If I can't hear it, it's not on YouTube.
37:45
Oh. Really losing bad at night.
37:46
You want to bet? Because I've been listening to
37:48
it. When you were complaining it was
37:50
low, it was pretty high, so I don't know what.
37:51
You're talking about he's losing bad at night so.

38:04
Let's go. All right, we'll start.
38:06
What do you got? We'll start off with a
38:07
conversation you and you and I had earlier, Fish.
38:10
The Red Wings have now missed the playoffs for 10 straight
38:13
years after making it for 25 years in a row.
38:16
So there's been two NBA teams that have had that were double
38:19
digits making it in a row and double digits missing in a row,
38:22
both in the Western Conference and their franchise history.
38:24
Say that again. So this These two NBA teams in
38:27
the Western Conference have made the playoffs at least 10 years
38:31
in a row at one point in their franchise history and missed the
38:33
playoffs 10 years in a row at one point in their franchise
38:35
history. Just name 1.
38:37
Name one of them. Nope.
38:39
Really. Nope.
38:41
The Jazz have never made it 10 years in a row.
38:43
Ever. Even with Stockton and Malone?
38:45
Really. Nope, they never did.
38:48
Damn, I would have figured they were a lock.
38:51
Portland. Not Portland all.
38:54
Right, I'll Sacramento, we'll. Bring.
38:56
We'll bring that. Then in we'll only get one.
38:59
Nothing can play as well. I get one or two.
39:01
One, because you're only naming one team.
39:04
If I if I made you name both teams, then I would have to.
39:06
Then I'll give you 2 guesses, but you'll have to name.
39:08
One OK give. Me, I'll give.
39:10
I'll give you. Sacramento.
39:11
San Antonio. No, they never missed 10 years
39:14

39:17
made it every year of Malone's career.
39:20
They never. They never missed then they
39:21
never missed them. They never missed 10 years.
39:23
You got to make it and miss. Come on, Speedy.
39:27
Did they go Sacramento? No, it's not Sacramento.
39:30
All right, Nathan, you're the last hope here.
39:34
All right. I'm going to go to.
39:36
That's coming from a guy that dropped something on his head
39:39
tonight. Want to go to Houston?
39:41
Nope, it was not Houston, is it? Yeah, the answers were One of
39:44
them was the Dallas Mavericks. The other one was the Phoenix
39:47
Suns. I ran here.
39:51

39:52
Speedy sleeps with endangered animals.
39:56
And if they sell them on the black market, I.
39:57
Hate Speedy got that square I hate.
39:59
That right in there. Right in the middle.
40:02
All right, Speedy next question. All right, we'll go to the NFL
40:04
Draft for this one. So two teams have never had the
40:07
number one overall pick in their team's history.
40:10
Who are they? So now you get 2 guesses.
40:11
That's going to make you name both.
40:12
This is for what sport? Football.
40:15
Two teams that never had the number one pick correct?
40:18
Oh. Man, great football.
40:30

40:37

40:54
They trained, yeah. OK, cuz he didn't want to.
40:58
Play in any true, true, true, true.
41:02
That's a good one. Let me get another guess out
41:04

41:09
Nope. Never.
41:11

41:15

42:59
All right, Speedy next question. I'll go to golf for this one.
43:01
Which active American golfer has the record for most birdies in a
43:04
tournament with 28? In one tournament?
43:08
Yep. Say it again.
43:10
What American golfer has the most active for most birdies in
43:14
a Masters tournament with 28? I'm going to guess Xander
43:17
Sheffly. Nope.
43:19
You said active like they played in this tournament.
43:22
They played this year. Currently.
43:25
I might have another one but. Damn, I'm about to say something
43:29
stupid. Like what?
43:30
I'm going to. Go I'm, I'm be on this guys.
43:38
I don't want to be honest with you.
43:40
This might be like some super obscure 1.
43:42
Do you want me to guess? No, it's not obscure.
43:47
Well, I mean, you wouldn't think it was this guy.
43:49
No, it's a well known name. I know it's.
43:52
Well known? I don't know.
43:54
Obscure golfers, Speedy, I only know so much about golf Do you
43:57
want me to I just. Think it ain't Tiger, I can tell
43:59
you that. It's it's not going to be Tiger
44:01
because he didn't play in this tournament.
44:03
Yeah. But I think Sergio Garcia did
44:09
Sergio. He's not American.
44:10
I'll. Let you take you said American.
44:12
American. Yeah, he said American.
44:13
I said American. I'm sorry, you want me to take
44:16

44:23
All right. I'm gonna take, I'm gonna go is
44:27
Scotty. Scotty Scheffler is not

44:43
It's called teamwork. I'd rather.
44:47
He said I'd. Rather do it.
44:48
Myself, I'd rather get it wrong unless I'm.
44:50
Cheating. I'd rather get it.
44:52
Unless I'm. Cheating.
44:53
I'd rather get it wrong than give him the satisfaction.

45:50
Jordan speed it is What was your gift?
45:52
I I would. Have given your gift are.
45:54
You already your best I. I I knew you should have given
45:57
it to me because I knew it was Jordan's.
45:58
Yeah. So why you didn't give a sign
46:00
that? You knew I told you I have it.
46:03
I knew it and you because I'm and a guess I'm and a Nan.
46:09
You're right. Guys, teamwork makes the dream
46:12
work Speedy, you're going to get our.
46:14
Carl plays with himself all. Right, we'll go bottom right.
46:19
All right. Oh, all right.
46:20
We got to block them. Well, I'm already set right
46:23
there. Be a lift master.
46:25
All right, we'll go back to the NBA for this one.
46:27
So you guys will talk about Doc Rivers in a bit.
46:29
He is sixth all time in NBA wins and Harold was a basket last
46:33
week. He's only won 1 championship,
46:34
but there's four coaches in that are top ten in NBA history in
46:38
wins that don't have a title. Name two of them.
46:42
Lenny Wilkins. No.
46:45
He won. He.
46:46
Did he won once with the SuperSonics in the 70s?
46:50
Oh, Jesus. Their only title in the 78?
46:54
I think they don't have one title or they don't.
46:56
I know he has like the most wins.
46:58
That have never won a title. Mike D'Antoni.
47:03
No, again, you guys got 2 guesses because you're.
47:06
I get 2. Yeah, yeah, you're naming 2
47:09
people. No, it is not Mike D'Antoni.
47:13
Nothing. He is not top 10 also.
47:14
I guess one. What do you got, Don Nelson?
47:17
Yes. Good guess.
47:20
He's number two all time. There you go, he.
47:22
Has the most, he has the most. You got to get 2.
47:24
Yep, you need. No, you need to get 2.
47:27
Darrell got one already. You guys need one more.
47:30
I got a weird one. Rudy Tom.
47:33
No, no, he won with the Houston Never Mind Call.
47:36
It yourself. Good catch.
47:37
I didn't catch myself because you beat the Knicks.
47:39
I'm an idiot, all right, Speedy. Repeat it again.
47:46
It's just a coach. Who top ten wins?
47:48
No. Championship.
47:49
No Championship. Correct.
47:51
OK, it feels like it should be like a Lakers coach because they
48:01
lost every year in the 60s. Who was the Lakers coach back
48:04
then? Detroit in that winter world, I
48:15
don't know. They won.
48:16
They won before Georgia, so they they do.
48:18
You want me to guess again? Yeah, Go ahead.
48:21
Tom Thibodeau? No.
48:23
He's not going to have that in. He never won, but he had a lot
48:26
of wins. No, but the head coaching, it's
48:28
going to be a guy that did it for like 30 years.
48:31
Tibbs only did it for like 15. I.
48:33
Would say that George. Tom Thibodeaux, yeah.
48:35
You got it. Q.
48:36
He was in his fifth in forever. Q Got it, George Carlin.
48:39
You got it, George. Carlin, I did.
48:40
Yep. Oh, Carl.
48:42
Or the Nuggets? Yep.
48:45
Well, from a few places also. He was Sean Kemp's coach in the
48:48
with the Sonics back then too. 2 Sonics guys, Speedy in that one.
48:52
Let's put this back up. Q And Errol, you're going to
48:56
share a square. Can you guys agree on where to
48:58
go? I think we have to go here.
49:00
Yeah, we have to. Where to go?
49:02
Are you? Guys together in this one, I
49:05
don't know. It's on the sitter share in the
49:06
space. I like anal.
49:10
All right, Speedy next question. Rush from the hospital.
49:14
No, nobody has to be rushed to the hospital.
49:15
By the way, the other two, FYI, were Jerry Sloan and Rick
49:18
Adelman were the other two. Sloan.
49:21
Hey guys, I would have. Figured out Sloan.
49:23
Drop, Go pick. I'd go ahead.
49:25
Yeah, go ahead, take a. Thanks.
49:29
Any more you want to tell us? Got to take it out.
49:36
He's got to paint his wall behind us.
49:38
Guys, I got to go. You're serving Tommy's all 5
49:45
have to go with the toilet during during the show.
49:46
All right, we'll go. We'll go back to the NFL draft
49:50
for this one. So Ohio State and Alabama are
49:52
two of the five schools that have named that have the most
49:56
first round picks in NFL draft history.
49:59
Name two of the other 3. Say that again.
50:02
So besides Ohio State and Alabama, name two of the three
50:06
other schools that are top five all times in NFL first round
50:10
draft picks total. LSU.
50:13
Nope. Feels like a Georgia answer.
50:16
Nope, Really. In Alabama, it wasn't.
50:19
Alabama No. No.
50:19
Alabama and Ohio State, besides those two name the other name
50:23
two of the other three schools. I'll take the other guess, USC,
50:26
yes. USC is 1.
50:28
I will. I will guess with my other one,
50:30
Notre Dame. Notre Dame is one of the other
50:32
ones. Good job you're.
50:33
Both here. Hey, look at us feeling tonight.
50:36
Look at that and guess what that means?
50:38
We really this is. Smothering.
50:40
We are the winners. Look at, look at this line that
50:42
we made somehow all three of us in different combos.
50:46
I don't care. Combined on this line 90. 9% of
50:50
the world would too. To be care the speed.
