Speaker 1: Slash disclosures coming on the show right now. Oh, there
1:15
Speaker 1: was a video game made after this movie came out,
1:18
Speaker 1: so it's kind of in reverse of what we were
1:20
Speaker 1: talking about. The movie came first. Judge Dread, I am
1:24
Speaker 1: the law because Law Murray of the Athletic is here
1:28
Speaker 1: at Law Murray d nu is where he finds him.
1:30
Speaker 1: He's a close personal friend.
1:32
Speaker 2: La.
1:32
Speaker 1: Thanks for doing this late night here on Fox Sports Radio.
1:35
Speaker 3: Thanks for having La.
1:37
Speaker 1: First things first here before we get to the NBA.
1:41
Speaker 1: You ever seen a game that crazy in college basketball?
1:43
Speaker 1: Because that's about as good as a guess because I
1:46
Speaker 1: have read your stats earlier talking about the possession battle
1:48
Speaker 1: that was won by ucon that in some ways was
1:51
Speaker 1: the deciding factor. Did that blow up your bracket?
1:54
Speaker 4: How are you feeling?
1:55
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't make brackets.
1:57
Speaker 1: I am the bracket.
2:00
Speaker 4: Sorry.
2:01
Speaker 3: I was very happy not to do a bracket. I
2:04
Speaker 3: came out on one hand how many brackets I've done
2:06
Speaker 3: in the last decades, So I wasn't watching for that
2:10
Speaker 3: that's for sure. Honestly, I just was watching basketball all day.
2:16
Speaker 4: I mean I covered.
2:16
Speaker 3: Lakers practice in the morning, I watched the Clippers in
2:19
Speaker 3: the afternoon, and I wound up watching the two NBC games.
2:23
Speaker 3: So that's just that second half just wound up being
2:26
Speaker 3: what was on in between all that while I was
2:29
Speaker 3: working with power rankings and getting ready for this week ahead.
2:33
Speaker 3: And I mean, shoot, I think the first game that
2:37
Speaker 3: claimed the mind for me was the Villanova UNC game.
2:43
Speaker 3: That that was one on a buzzer beater that was
2:46
Speaker 3: crazier when you look at the distance of Chris Jenkins
2:50
Speaker 3: shot that was that was even crazier than what I
2:53
Speaker 3: saw from Brandon Muns saying it. But also as a
2:57
Speaker 3: Duke like they collapsed last year here, like you just
3:01
Speaker 3: have to keep watching they. I don't think they were
3:04
Speaker 3: super impressive the first weekend. So as someone who did
3:09
Speaker 3: not grow up a Duke fan at all, never all
3:13
Speaker 3: that man to see Duke wus. The only time I
3:16
Speaker 3: ever saw Duke winn I was happy about it was
3:19
Speaker 3: one of my god mil Jeferson won the championship, you know,
3:22
Speaker 3: shout out to France Central. But other than that, never
3:25
Speaker 3: a bad day when Duke go down. So shout out
3:28
Speaker 3: to Yukon.
3:29
Speaker 1: Now do you think there should have been a technical
3:31
Speaker 1: foul on Malachi Smith for getting off the bench?
3:34
Speaker 5: Smith ran off the bench?
3:36
Speaker 1: That was the Duke broadcast law. They literally said that
3:39
Speaker 1: after the Loco three Paul, there should have been a technical.
3:43
Speaker 4: Yeah.
3:44
Speaker 3: See when you Duke and you used to these collapses,
3:47
Speaker 3: you are, you're keen to everything, Like man, coach might
3:52
Speaker 3: not have this in the bag. Let's make sure that
3:55
Speaker 3: help him out. He said, you must have said that
3:58
Speaker 3: loud enough and here shot of a referee man. But
4:02
Speaker 3: you know, I think Duke is done. And so once
4:07
Speaker 3: again Ukon played in the final four. They made it
4:11
Speaker 3: happen like I don't want to get on and say like, oh,
4:15
Speaker 3: you know, Duke might have left the door open, but
4:18
Speaker 3: Utah still had to walk through it. Like they were
4:20
Speaker 3: shooting terrible and I feel like they missed sixteen of
4:23
Speaker 3: their first seventeen to three something like that. They certainly
4:26
Speaker 3: didn't have the talent Duke had, and it didn't seem
4:31
Speaker 3: like it was going to happen for them, like maybe
4:35
Speaker 3: like I thought they were going to get blown out.
4:37
Speaker 3: And at halftime I was like, all right, this is
4:39
Speaker 3: the game that we're getting and that possessing battle. It
4:43
Speaker 3: means a lot to me, Like I don't think everything
4:46
Speaker 3: to make or mislead, Like we're going to remember the
4:48
Speaker 3: last mate shot, but the turnover mattered, the turnover to
4:53
Speaker 3: close the game out after they had to leave. The
4:56
Speaker 3: fact that they continue to give them selves opportunities to
5:01
Speaker 3: get that in it even while the shots weren't falling
5:04
Speaker 3: and they were struggling to find good offense, Like the
5:07
Speaker 3: offense of Yukon didn't really win that game. It was
5:10
Speaker 3: the fact that they just kept playing hard, kept giving
5:14
Speaker 3: themselves a chance every time. Again, Duke left the door open,
5:18
Speaker 3: but you kind of walked through it.
5:20
Speaker 1: Lobmer is our guest here on Fox Sports Radio. I'm
5:22
Speaker 1: Adam Oslin in for Big Ben Mallard tonight. So Low
5:26
Speaker 1: you said you were at Lakers practice earlier today. How
5:29
Speaker 1: much are they going to be missing Luka doncis against
5:31
Speaker 1: the Wizards tomorrow. Okay, I'm kidding. How did the Lakers
5:34
Speaker 1: get to this point where they've turned things around to
5:37
Speaker 1: this degree? Did you see this coming?
5:40
Speaker 3: I felt like when it came to the Lakers, they
5:44
Speaker 3: had three really good players that they were confident, and
5:49
Speaker 3: they weren't playing well with those three players. But a
5:54
Speaker 3: light went on at the end of February where guys
5:58
Speaker 3: understood how they needed to get each other going. But
6:03
Speaker 3: I think the real impetus of success right before the
6:08
Speaker 3: thing that started the nine game win streak that they
6:10
Speaker 3: had in March. Lebron went out and Luca again playing
6:15
Speaker 3: really well. Austin Reeves, a guy who missed all of
6:18
Speaker 3: January dealing with his second calf injury. He started to
6:22
Speaker 3: play the minutes that suggested that, Okay, he's completely over it,
6:27
Speaker 3: and the best version of Austin Reeves is the version
6:31
Speaker 3: that is going to be featured. You know, he is
6:34
Speaker 3: a he can play off the ball, but I mean
6:37
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves is a player who needs confidence to be
6:41
Speaker 3: the best version of himself. And I'll always give Lebron
6:45
Speaker 3: James credit because like Lebron is going to understand how
6:48
Speaker 3: he needs to play. I mean, he SIPs in mind
6:50
Speaker 3: and talks to Steve Knatch about that stuff on a
6:53
Speaker 3: periodic basis. Now, so when Lebron got back from his injury,
6:57
Speaker 3: Lebron understood that if he makes sure that Luca and
7:02
Speaker 3: Austin get going and he just fills in where he
7:05
Speaker 3: needs to fill in. Then that's want to give the
7:08
Speaker 3: Lakers a really good chance to be again the best
7:11
Speaker 3: version of that team. And so they've done that. Lucas
7:16
Speaker 3: played great. I think the biggest thing with Lucas is
7:19
Speaker 3: he's shooting at three incredibly well.
7:21
Speaker 4: Often.
7:22
Speaker 3: He has played more responsible basketball, knowing that he's going
7:26
Speaker 3: to have opportunities to get buckets. He's decreased his turnover
7:30
Speaker 3: significantly and that gives everybody a chance to score more.
7:34
Speaker 3: And then the thing with Lebron, even at the stage
7:37
Speaker 3: of his career is he's still alade like that he's
7:41
Speaker 3: bigger than almost anyone who's going to guard him realistically,
7:45
Speaker 3: and he's more skilled and he's smarter than a lot
7:48
Speaker 3: of people. So like he's going to put himself in
7:50
Speaker 3: position to get very easy baskets. A lot of those
7:53
Speaker 3: easy baskets are coming on a fast break. Dude is
7:55
Speaker 3: literally born where I was and needs to leave in
7:58
Speaker 3: the league and transpread points or something like that. He's
8:01
Speaker 3: dunked more than he dunk last year, and that's what
8:05
Speaker 3: significantly fewer games played. All those things have just gone
8:09
Speaker 3: into it. It's like they're not a significantly better team.
8:13
Speaker 3: It's just that guys, the guys that you know are
8:17
Speaker 3: going to decide their success the most have made the
8:20
Speaker 3: commitment to do what they need to do to play
8:23
Speaker 3: the best basketball for each other.
8:26
Speaker 1: How much of what happens moving forward to finish off
8:28
Speaker 1: this season will inform Lebron's decision of where he's going
8:33
Speaker 1: or is it not his decision? Is it the Lakers
8:36
Speaker 1: and he's he already made it? Does he already know
8:38
Speaker 1: he's not going to be here next season or if
8:39
Speaker 1: he's coming back or not.
8:41
Speaker 3: I don't think the ladder is the case. I think,
8:44
Speaker 3: as as it is with all of these things, the
8:47
Speaker 3: playoffs matter, you know, I don't care how good the
8:51
Speaker 3: vibes are for the Lakers, like the Lakers had similar
8:55
Speaker 3: vibes just on a year ago, and they didn't even
8:58
Speaker 3: make it to the month of May. So I mean,
9:02
Speaker 3: and let's just be real, there wasn't a lot of
9:05
Speaker 3: There are people who watched that series against the Timberwolves
9:08
Speaker 3: last spring, and at the end of it they understood
9:11
Speaker 3: why the Lakers weren't good enough. But at the same time,
9:17
Speaker 3: there are a lot fewer of those people who were
9:19
Speaker 3: saying that stuff before the series started, there are people
9:23
Speaker 3: who were drinking the Lakers coolly and thinking that they
9:26
Speaker 3: were going to take it all the way to a championship,
9:30
Speaker 3: and so that obviously didn't happen. Hindsight's twenty twenty, and
9:36
Speaker 3: so when it comes to Lebron, he's in a contract year.
9:40
Speaker 3: Like if they collapse in the playoffs, again, there's a
9:43
Speaker 3: lot of things that you're going to have to question,
9:45
Speaker 3: including Lebron's will to play period, not just play for
9:49
Speaker 3: the Lakers. So I think the playoffs will decide a lot.
9:53
Speaker 3: I do think that this run of success that the
9:55
Speaker 3: team has had in March will definitely help in terms of, hey,
10:01
Speaker 3: Lebron can be here, you know. But again, the playoffs
10:07
Speaker 3: are going to be what raises or decreases tensions to
10:12
Speaker 3: a relevant point in the off.
10:14
Speaker 1: Season, Kawhi Leonard has gone mainstream or national again. He's
10:18
Speaker 1: getting more attention his way for the right reasons. Kawhi
10:22
Speaker 1: Leonard has been incredible this season, fifty one straight games
10:25
Speaker 1: of twenty or more after hitting twenty on the Dot
10:27
Speaker 1: earlier today in their victory Clippers victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.
10:32
Speaker 1: How impressive has this year at the age of thirty
10:35
Speaker 1: four been from Kawhi given everything that he has been
10:38
Speaker 1: through with injuries in his.
10:39
Speaker 3: Career, well it's a deserved result. We were talking about
10:46
Speaker 3: him being healthy going into an off season, getting through
10:48
Speaker 3: the off season, coming into the training camp, and obviously
10:53
Speaker 3: people wanted to talk about things that weren't connected to
10:57
Speaker 3: the basketball as much. And the unfortunate thing with Kawhi
11:01
Speaker 3: is he got hurt early in the season. You know,
11:03
Speaker 3: like he lost ten games in March or not March,
11:07
Speaker 3: sorry learn much now, but he lost time in November
11:11
Speaker 3: and that started the descent of the Clippers more than anything.
11:15
Speaker 3: Like the Clippers were on the close game to Miami
11:17
Speaker 3: Heat when his angle went ninety degrees and you know,
11:23
Speaker 3: if they weren't able to pull that game out against
11:25
Speaker 3: the Heat, then they are two games over five hundred.
11:27
Speaker 3: They lose. He doesn't play for three weeks. He comes back,
11:31
Speaker 3: the team is in shambles. We heals out for the year.
11:35
Speaker 3: Veterans who were added to the team were in and
11:38
Speaker 3: out the rotation. Derrek Jones Junior was in the first
11:42
Speaker 3: of two multi week MCL springs, so a lot, a
11:47
Speaker 3: lot had to happen. And then even when Kawhi came back.
11:49
Speaker 3: He probably came back a little early and was in
11:52
Speaker 3: a minute restriction that really wasn't allowing him to help
11:56
Speaker 3: the Clippers actually win these games consistently. And he's done
12:00
Speaker 3: nothing but put in the work on his body, on
12:03
Speaker 3: his game. He's not just producing, but he's doing it
12:06
Speaker 3: in ways that he hadn't done it before. And he's
12:08
Speaker 3: doing with players teammates that he hadn't done before, not
12:12
Speaker 3: just in the form of new guys like Darius Garland
12:14
Speaker 3: and been after any and also younger players like Jordan
12:18
Speaker 3: Miller and Kobe Sanders who weren't exactly assets in November,
12:23
Speaker 3: but they became assets over the course of the winner.
12:26
Speaker 3: And so it's a huge credit to Kawhi. It's a
12:30
Speaker 3: credit to his basketball ability. It's a credit to to
12:34
Speaker 3: his place in the organization that he's been able to
12:37
Speaker 3: play as well as he has, and he's not done yet.
12:41
Speaker 1: Lomer is our guest from the athletic at Lomurray. The
12:44
Speaker 1: U was where he finds him on x LO. I
12:47
Speaker 1: talked about it a little bit earlier and played a
12:49
Speaker 1: clip from Kawhi from last year and Wemby I think
12:51
Speaker 1: recently talking about how it's not bad defense in the NBA,
12:55
Speaker 1: it's better offense. Do you feel the same way.
12:59
Speaker 5: Yeah.
13:00
Speaker 3: When I look at the NBA, guys talk about how
13:04
Speaker 3: much more they would like to be physical within the
13:07
Speaker 3: confines of the rules. And when I look at the
13:11
Speaker 3: playoffs and I listen to people complain every winner, just
13:15
Speaker 3: for those complaints to move the goalposts every spring, because
13:20
Speaker 3: in the spring you get locked in good NBA players
13:23
Speaker 3: who are playing with the kind of urgency that comes
13:26
Speaker 3: with every single loss being a loss that sends you
13:30
Speaker 3: closer to the end of your season, when you have expectations,
13:33
Speaker 3: when you've gone through a lot, and you know these
13:36
Speaker 3: teams to take away with these really good players do
13:40
Speaker 3: well offensively their complex schemes. Like a lot of dudes
13:44
Speaker 3: on they couch could not operate and execute what these
13:47
Speaker 3: teams are being asked to do. That's just to take
13:50
Speaker 3: away a star, but to take away an entire approach
13:54
Speaker 3: to scoring. Like, guys, just know that you know you
13:57
Speaker 3: can play a great defense and you have to switch
14:00
Speaker 3: it up. Guys are going to make tough shots. Guys
14:02
Speaker 3: are going to find their teammates and make the game
14:05
Speaker 3: easier on them. So the game has gotten to a point. Again,
14:10
Speaker 3: I'm old enough to remember when certain players were You've
14:15
Speaker 3: watched them, and you've watched their stats, and it's like
14:17
Speaker 3: you're respect the US pro ball players, but they weren't
14:20
Speaker 3: they they If you take that those same players and
14:24
Speaker 3: put them in today's game, they'd struggle, you know, like
14:28
Speaker 3: the three point line. I don't think guys are better shooters.
14:31
Speaker 3: I think there are just more guys who can shoot
14:34
Speaker 3: at a league average level. And that's the difference, you know,
14:37
Speaker 3: I think you have coaches who instead of thinking the
14:42
Speaker 3: three pointer is a bad shot, they're thinking, how can
14:46
Speaker 3: we weaponize the three pointer to get what we really want,
14:49
Speaker 3: which is in the paint. And again, like back in
14:53
Speaker 3: the day, you had a slower game. You the spacing
14:57
Speaker 3: wasn't emphasized, and even if it wasn't, size guys that
15:00
Speaker 3: can't make you pay for it nearly as much. I mean,
15:03
Speaker 3: now you have to guard all the positions everywhere on
15:07
Speaker 3: the floor, a faster game, and guys are just more skilled.
15:13
Speaker 3: Like you know, big guys are coming in euro accepting
15:16
Speaker 3: small guys are screening and rolling in the space. You
15:22
Speaker 3: have multiple playmakers from different positions, so like that is
15:28
Speaker 3: that is a skill thing. It's an increase in skill
15:31
Speaker 3: and an increase and imagine Nation, and I think you
15:36
Speaker 3: have to start there. And I respect the teams that
15:39
Speaker 3: can consistently take that stuff away better than the other
15:42
Speaker 3: teams too.
15:44
Speaker 1: How much of a problem is taking in your mind?
15:46
Speaker 1: Is the NBA on the right track with fixing it?
15:49
Speaker 1: Does it need to be fixed?
15:52
Speaker 3: The NBA is always going to be on the wrong
15:54
Speaker 3: track because they keep taking a big deal out of it.
15:57
Speaker 4: And so.
16:00
Speaker 3: I think that the relativity you see from a lot
16:02
Speaker 3: of these teams is because of two things. One, yeah,
16:06
Speaker 3: the draft is pretty enticing. You know, there's a chance
16:10
Speaker 3: that there's a lot of difference makers in this draft.
16:12
Speaker 3: But also a lot of these teams are up, Like
16:16
Speaker 3: there are teams that don't have the same draft capital
16:19
Speaker 3: next year, like it's donated to another team or you know,
16:22
Speaker 3: they got to make decisions, and all the guys that
16:25
Speaker 3: they have, they have guys who are ready to ascend.
16:28
Speaker 3: Like I look at Utah's roster next year, and I'm like,
16:31
Speaker 3: those guys are going to be ready to at least
16:33
Speaker 3: compete a little bit longer than you know, December. Same
16:37
Speaker 3: thing with Washington, like they've been bad long enough. And
16:40
Speaker 3: now they got two guys in Trey Young and Anthony
16:43
Speaker 3: Davis who I wouldn't trust them individually, but together, if
16:46
Speaker 3: those guys can put some games together, you know, the
16:50
Speaker 3: floor is the middle of the conference. And so I
16:54
Speaker 3: really feel like the league gets to a point where
16:58
Speaker 3: all these people covering the league, league and consuming the league,
17:02
Speaker 3: they wind up talking about stuff that doesn't have to
17:05
Speaker 3: do with basketball. You know, they think that a team
17:08
Speaker 3: is not allowed to be bad, and so you know,
17:12
Speaker 3: a blowout between a team that's bad as a bad
17:16
Speaker 3: record and a team that has a good record, two
17:18
Speaker 3: teams with bad records, and you get some shenanigans. They
17:23
Speaker 3: think because it's available to watch that it should be eliminated.
17:26
Speaker 3: It's like, you're never going to eliminate that. So I
17:30
Speaker 3: appreciate the league paying clip service, but you'll never get
17:33
Speaker 3: me to take it seriously.
17:35
Speaker 1: I still understand why people think Jay Huff intentionally missed
17:38
Speaker 1: those two free throws against the Clippers there, and it's like,
17:40
Speaker 1: wait a second, he flopped to try to get to
17:42
Speaker 1: the free throw line. He could have just lost the
17:44
Speaker 1: game right then and not flopped, Like, why is he
17:46
Speaker 1: trying to extend the game at all.
17:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, JFF definitely didn't have no money on that game.
17:52
Speaker 3: That's for Dann Short like they cared about that game,
17:55
Speaker 3: Like Jay Huff he was tying his shoe in the
17:58
Speaker 3: middle of the game and and Corney Kirkley gave the
18:02
Speaker 3: Balti klaw while Leonard a side out of bounds, brook
18:05
Speaker 3: Lose has hit the three and Brooks just laughing him
18:08
Speaker 3: figure out the court.
18:09
Speaker 4: Jay was upset.
18:10
Speaker 3: Aaron Nee Smith ascals and they're like, what is happening?
18:14
Speaker 3: You know, like as a as a certain coach texted me,
18:21
Speaker 3: it's a little different when you stepped to the free
18:23
Speaker 3: throw line and you got that much waying when you
18:26
Speaker 3: with the game on the line like that. So you know,
18:30
Speaker 3: Jay missed the first and he missed the second. I
18:32
Speaker 3: don't it's convenient to say that it was a tanking endeavor.
18:36
Speaker 3: But look at the rest of the games the Pacers
18:39
Speaker 3: played this week. Like they lost sixteen in a row.
18:43
Speaker 3: They beat the hell out of the Magic. They did
18:46
Speaker 3: fall down big against the Lakers, but they kept playing.
18:49
Speaker 3: And whoever gambled on that game probably up set about
18:53
Speaker 3: how that game turned out. They were up big on
18:56
Speaker 3: the Clippers, and even when they blew the lead, they
19:00
Speaker 3: continue to play well enough to give themselves a chance
19:04
Speaker 3: to win, and then they turn around and on Sunday
19:09
Speaker 3: they absolutely whipped the Miami Heat, another team that has
19:14
Speaker 3: a lot to play for right now and really could
19:16
Speaker 3: have used that win. They annihilate them. And you know
19:21
Speaker 3: who had a big performance in the fourth quarter is
19:23
Speaker 3: Jay Huff. Jay didn't play in the first half on
19:26
Speaker 3: Sunday and then fourth forty played the entire fourth quarter,
19:29
Speaker 3: a close game going in the fourth quarter, and Jay
19:33
Speaker 3: pretty much closed out, helped close the Heat out. So
19:36
Speaker 3: again it gets wacky in the NBA. There's a lot
19:40
Speaker 3: of conspiracy theory. The way this season began with a
19:43
Speaker 3: couple of scandals like his people reason to have that
19:47
Speaker 3: on their mind. And unfortunately, the NBA is a pretty
19:51
Speaker 3: reactionary league, so they let these things go out of
19:55
Speaker 3: control with now the league and how the game is
19:58
Speaker 3: talked about instead of putting the focused on real good
20:01
Speaker 3: players and real good teams. And by the way, again
20:04
Speaker 3: that's the league's fault. They let the broadcasters talk about
20:07
Speaker 3: like five teams and they keep talking about guys directed
20:11
Speaker 3: in the two thousands is the face of the league,
20:13
Speaker 3: and there are other players and other teams that they
20:16
Speaker 3: you know, want to wait and see you in golf platform.
20:19
Speaker 3: So it is what it is. Hopefully it gets better
20:21
Speaker 3: in the playoffs.
20:22
Speaker 1: Lastly, Lot, quickly here, I'm going to talk about in
20:25
Speaker 1: the final hour, But did we learn anything from Scottie
20:27
Speaker 1: Pippen doing the Mister Pip commercial or Isaiah Thomas talking
20:30
Speaker 1: about KD would have won six rings if he was
20:32
Speaker 1: on those Bulls teams too. When it comes to the
20:35
Speaker 1: goat debate this week, I think a.
20:37
Speaker 3: Lot of feelings would hurt. And Michael Jordan was at
20:40
Speaker 3: the top of his game. I'll leave it at dead.
20:43
Speaker 1: He is lat Murray of the Athletic at La Murray,
20:46
Speaker 1: and you is where you find Tim Covers teams here

24:19
Speaker 2: well maybe some people just ain't gonna be around anymore.
24:23
Speaker 1: Oh ever, I thought that was Tory Hunter.
24:26
Speaker 4: That was after he won a triple crowd of pitching.
24:30
Speaker 1: Hey, you remember that time in the All Star Game
24:33
Speaker 1: when Tory Hunter snagged that home run away from Barry Bonds.
24:37
Speaker 5: I love it, But I got a question about the
24:39
Speaker 5: strike zone.
24:41
Speaker 4: Okay.
24:41
Speaker 2: I played league baseball and I was good. I played
24:46
Speaker 2: fast softball and.
24:47
Speaker 5: I was decent. And I played what we.
24:50
Speaker 2: Called modified kitch softball in and around the Minneapolis area.
24:55
Speaker 2: Which wasn't as fast because it wasn't a full Windio
24:58
Speaker 2: you understand.
25:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm falling.
25:01
Speaker 4: Maybe.
25:01
Speaker 2: Why are so many Major League Baseball players looking at
25:07
Speaker 2: third strike pitches that are hitible pitches and striking out
25:12
Speaker 2: looking I'm.
25:13
Speaker 1: Gonna guess that speaks to the greatness of pitchers in
25:17
Speaker 1: today's game that are switching up their velocity from like
25:21
Speaker 1: fifteen miles per hour consistently. Guys have more in their arsenal.
25:24
Speaker 1: It's not just the giant ball.
25:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but you need so many guys looking at
25:32
Speaker 2: good hitible pitches and are they're confused because they're guessing
25:37
Speaker 2: on flider or curve or all that stuff.
25:39
Speaker 3: It's too much of a mind game too.
25:42
Speaker 4: Yeah.
25:42
Speaker 1: Man, it's psychological warfare, dude.
25:45
Speaker 2: And where are you from.

Speaker 1: Although I do have. Let me tell you this, Mike,
29:43

29:51
Speaker 1: the original, so they're cheaper and they can actually fit
29:55
Speaker 1: in your house. And I built one, and it was
29:57

31:58

32:00
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for your Wildcats. Okay, Fairs, I can't believe Duke.
32:04
Speaker 5: I wanted to play Duke.
32:07
Speaker 6: Off the bench.
32:09
Speaker 1: You want to play Duke. I wanted that Duke smoke.
32:12
Speaker 5: To the best in the country. And one of the
32:14
Speaker 5: best of the country. I want to play the best
32:15
Speaker 5: of the best.
32:16
Speaker 1: Well, they're out there.
32:17
Speaker 5: Oh I can't believe last time?
32:18
Speaker 4: But why?
32:18
Speaker 3: But why Duke?
32:19
Speaker 4: Are you from?
32:20
Speaker 5: What's your story?
32:22
Speaker 1: I don't even like Duke. I was just being a
32:24
Speaker 1: smart ass and picking all the favorites all the way
32:26
Speaker 1: through my bracket, and Duke was the number one overall seed,
32:29
Speaker 1: so naturally I had them winning it all. I was
32:31
Speaker 1: just trying this out to see how that would help
32:33
Speaker 1: my bracket if I just picked favorites the entire way
32:36
Speaker 1: and I'm screwed.
32:37
Speaker 5: Now, Well, tell me you think can make it all
32:39
Speaker 5: the way?
32:39
Speaker 1: Oh for sure. Those Wildcats now they're out of the
32:42
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. They're the last team to win a Natty
32:46
Speaker 1: from the PAC twelve. They won in ninety seven with
32:48
Speaker 1: Mike Baby.
32:51
Speaker 5: Mike Baby, Miles Simon. Remember those years, But no more.
32:54
Speaker 5: I missed the PAC twelve. It's the big pen now.
32:57
Speaker 1: It honestly would be sad to see in some ways
33:01
Speaker 1: Arizona win because it's, you know, a PAC twelve zombie
33:06
Speaker 1: team winning the national championship. And the PAC twelve went
33:10
Speaker 1: for so long without winning in basketball when they used
33:12
Speaker 1: to dominate back in the day. It would be a
33:14
Speaker 1: little bit sad, but I'm okay with it.
33:17
Speaker 5: But he credit, then you drop seven my favorite games,
33:21
Speaker 5: the whole world cheesy.
33:23
Speaker 1: It's not just because of Tiefas Boobs. Right, it's not
33:25
Speaker 1: because of that.
33:26
Speaker 5: Right, was the cheesiest movie you ever made?
33:29
Speaker 1: Bro So now when it first came out, Mike, how
33:32
Speaker 1: dare you?
33:35
Speaker 5: It was so bad? It was so bad resident evil,
33:38
Speaker 5: cheesy movie.
33:39

35:20

35:58
Speaker 4: white white TUXI you know, can't callaway Tisa Romero and
36:03
Speaker 4: Rick Bettino. Now the thing would Saint John people have
36:07
Speaker 4: to realize they'll they'll fly they'll fly a recruit in.
36:12
Speaker 4: They'll bring up to the campus and the kid gets
36:14
Speaker 4: to the campus and then he turns to his agent,
36:18
Speaker 4: how fast can we get back to the airport. I
36:20
Speaker 4: mean it's like it's like an old building on a
36:22
Speaker 4: city street. That's what it is. These kids want to
36:25
Speaker 4: be on campus. And yeah, and listen, Saint John's they
36:35
Speaker 4: got to bring in some They got to do better
36:37
Speaker 4: job on the boards with rebounding, boxing out and stuff
36:40
Speaker 4: like that, or you're not going to win these games.
36:43
Speaker 1: Like they took it as far as they could go.
36:45
Speaker 1: They lost to a good duke duke Duke Duke of
36:47
Speaker 1: Earl team. What's wrong with that?
36:50
Speaker 4: Nothing wrong with it. I'm just saying. But if they
36:52
Speaker 4: had some rebounding there. They could have. They had leads
36:55
Speaker 4: late in the game, but just they just didn't have
36:57
Speaker 4: any rebounding to stop them. They when you don't rebound,
37:00
Speaker 4: the other team can fast break the other team. We
37:03
Speaker 4: can get, you know, score off the rebound.
37:05
Speaker 5: And that's it.
37:06
Speaker 4: That that's basically it. And the guy with the hot
37:08
Speaker 4: hand with the three points prayer, he should have been
37:12
Speaker 4: out there, would have minute left, he should have been
37:13
Speaker 4: out there.
37:14
Speaker 1: I felt like they were really missing Chris Mullin in
37:17
Speaker 1: that game.
37:17
Speaker 4: You know, well, either Chris or Brian or Joey Bullen
37:22
Speaker 4: one of those freaks of help at the end of
37:24
Speaker 4: that game.
37:25
Speaker 1: That's anyone with the flat top would have helped.
37:28
Speaker 2: That's it.
37:29
Speaker 4: Chris Bullen. He was six foot six to the top
37:33
Speaker 4: of his hair and six foot five to the top
37:35
Speaker 4: of his head. But anyway, Mullen Bulan put the big
37:39
Speaker 4: East on the on the mat him and you and
37:41
Speaker 4: didn't look when you and want it right and eighty
37:44
Speaker 4: four they brought in a freshman by the name of
37:47
Speaker 4: Michael Graham. Right, I'm a former story and that's why
37:49
Speaker 4: I know this stuff. And he he helped with the
37:53
Speaker 4: rebounded man. He helped big time. They became academic and
37:57
Speaker 4: uh and eligibly. He was on the cover of Sports
38:00
Speaker 4: run out and pulled that off. But that's how they won.
38:03
Speaker 4: You went out with the boards and that's how they
38:05
Speaker 4: beat him, all right, And that was that was the
38:07
Speaker 4: last year of the shot clock in college basketball. That game.
38:11
Speaker 1: But anyways, that thirty two what year was that nineteenth?
38:14
Speaker 4: That was nineteen nineteen eighty four. That was the last
38:18
Speaker 4: year's shot I was going over. But listen, the thing is,
38:21
Speaker 4: you should go with all court. You got some great calls.
38:24
Speaker 4: You should just like let three or four callers go
38:27
Speaker 4: at it and you and cool.
38:29
Speaker 1: Isn't there like a bed mallor street fight thing they do?
38:32
Speaker 4: It?
38:32
Speaker 1: Doesn't that happen.
38:33
Speaker 4: Day he does. I'm telling you steel cage matches. But
38:37
Speaker 4: the thing is you and Coop and they were able
38:39
Speaker 4: to go down the block to the to the burger
38:42
Speaker 4: joint and have a burger while these guys go. I'm
38:45
Speaker 4: telling you take old call in.
38:47
Speaker 1: I just clock out and just let the callers run
38:49
Speaker 1: the show. That's what he's saying. The inmates run the asylum.
38:52
Speaker 1: What is this?
38:53

Speaker 1: Okay? Does Ben Maller usually put up with this stuff
39:21
Speaker 1: to the degree I have tonight? Or am I like
39:23
Speaker 1: the substitute teacher being taken advantage of, because that's what
39:26
Speaker 1: it feels like right now. I just got a spitball
39:28
Speaker 1: to the eye. I'm shocked how much Ben takes willingly,
39:32
Speaker 1: But I like your substitute teacher. Yeah, that's that's good.
39:37
Speaker 1: That's exactly what you are. Remember the movie The Substitute.
39:39
Speaker 1: That substitute teacher kicked ass?
39:41
