• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in Denver. We're on one of the big sports talk stations.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: This show's on over the country, but we're on in Denver,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and I'm I'm predicting shutout city in Colorado, in the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: city of Denver. Our lead this hour from the Mile
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: High City. And that was the playground where the Nuggets
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and the Clippers wrangle Game number two, Game number two
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: playoffs match up there and Denver looking to hold serve
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and take a two games to none lead on their
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: home court. And many of you have told me, oh,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it's impossible to win a road game in the playoffs
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in Colorado. The altitude, Oh my god, the altitude. Oh
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: get them oxygen, get dem oxy jed. Okay, So don't
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: if you saw the game or not, maybe you miss it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: You bet job by you we watched it. You and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I have to. That's the mantra of the show. That
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: is the philosophy of the radio show. So if you
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: didn't see it, you missed. Poetry in motion is what
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you missed. Kawhi Leonard a throwback to the ages there,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard thirty nine points on nineteen shots. Now you'll
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: see players score thirty five or forty point and they'll
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: take thirty or thirty five shots. Kawhi Leonard took nineteen
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: shots and put up thirty nine points. Fifteen of nineteen.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I think it was ten of eleven at one point,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: but fifteen of nineteen. The Clippers clipped down Denver. They
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: clawed back and win after they gave a game away
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in Game one. As we said the Clippers really really
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Nuggets should be down two. They're lucky to be one
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to one at this point. As the Clippers won one
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: oh five to one oh two. As Christian Brown went
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to Brown Town at the end of the game, he
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: had the chance to be the hero, well kind of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the here he would have tied the game three point shot.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: How'd that go that? No, it looked like Russell Westbrook
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: shooting the shot there west Brick, Christian Brawn bricking. The
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: three point shot was six seconds left, and then Nikola
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Jokic had another opportunity, and he did have a triple double,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: but he shot a flatliner, a clanker with one second remaining,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and that's all she wrote. That's all she wrote. Jokicic
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: despite having the Gatti stats, the twenty six points, the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: twelve rebounds, the ten assists, and that was not enough.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So the series now one to one. They head back
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to the hood in Inglewood. Clippers and Nuggets will play
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Game three on Thursday. The better story is in the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: losing locker room. That has always been the mantra. That
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: is where the story is. So we will go to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: where the story is a Denver debacle. We're gonna call
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: this one a Denver debacle as we discuss, so who
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: gets to where? This? Is? This the question? Here's the question,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: who gets to war the shame bell for the Nuggets,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the Nicola Jokic Nuggets losing at home that altitude. Nobody
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: goes to Denver and wins a playoff game. You canting,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: oh my god, they lost it home? The Nuggets championship
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: PEDIGRAE Okay, So let's break this down. I've got bear, jamboree, terminator,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and creamery. And we will combine all of these things
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to make a big board.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Is what we're gonna make. Big Ben's big board. We're
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: not gonna do the big board right now. No, no, no, no,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Big Ben's big board right now. We'll save that. So
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: who gets to wear the shame bell for the Nicola
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: jokicch Denver Nuggets losing at home in the playoffs here
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: in game number two? So looking around the locker room,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: we will start with this here. Obviously, plenty of blame,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: plenty of blame to go around the room. Now. As
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we explain in the previous episode of the show, I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: know you listen, you document everything, and you take a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: little notes. It's a tough day for the trolls. I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: know you're gonna go into hiding, you know, hang in
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: their trolls. You'll have your day again, trolls, but not
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: right now. So in a previous episode, we pointed out,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: with our immen's basketball knowledge, the Nuggets did not deserve
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to win Game one. The Clippers gave that game away,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and that proved to be accurate analysis on these airwaves.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: The powerful microphones of Fox Sports Radio. The self inflicted
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: wounds by the Clippers. You clean that up, you win
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the game. They cleaned it up, they won the game.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It's not that difficult. This is not that hard, all right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: So the Nuggets who were gifted one game, they got
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that fine that they didn't get gifted this game, and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: they end up losing it. The Clippers played a relatively
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: clean game in terms of the turnovers, and so the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: same old song and dance with all these playoff matchups.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: You spent a lot of time analyzing things. You talk
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: about the matchups, you talked about the coaching, the film.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Film doesn't matter, the matchups don't matter, Home court advantage
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter, injuries don't matter, None of it matters. All
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that matters is who does better in the moment, in
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that moment in time, who does better? And Denver, despite
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: having championship pedigree, they crumbled at home. How embarrassing, How
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: embarrassing for the Nuggets. They lose at home? They blew it. Pathetic,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: absolutely pathetic by the Nuggets. How about Michael Porter Junior
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: breaking a hammered dunk out of bounds late in the game.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Who goofed? I've got to know that was embarrassing. We
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: mentioned Christian Brown missing the three point shot that would
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: have tied the game, Jokic throwing up a terribly flat shot,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: also in clutch time. However, I'm not going to give
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: them the shame bell. No no, no, no no, because
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: if you saw the game, you know exactly who gets
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the shame bell, and that is Jamal Murray. Jamal Murray
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: gets to wear the shame beell. Now why does Jamal
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Murray get to wear the shame He had good status, Ben,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I'm a box score reader. I read the statue had
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: good status. Okay, you're also an idiot. You're a moron.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: You didn't watch the game, you didn't watch the end.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: The reason Jamal Murray gets to wear the shame bell
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: because of the bear jamboree. In this case, he woke
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: up the hibernating bear. He did with five eighteen five
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: eighteen to go in the third quarter, just a random
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: moment which would have been forgotten in time if Jamal
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Murray had not picked up Norman Powell picked him up.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Murray's playing defense picked up Powell in a playground move
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: while he was attempting to play some kind of defense.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe that works the similar doesn't work in the NBA,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: maybe works in the playground anyway, Murray by doing that,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: which seemed rather benign at the time, there was a
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: little bit of finger pointing and shouting in fake machies
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: mo that took place on the court at that time.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: But if you notice, and I noticed the nuance that
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: woke up the hibernating bear. You don't wake up the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: hibernating bear. And that Jamal Murray did it. He did it.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Jamal Murray woke up the hibernating bear. And it wasn't
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: just Norman Powell, it's the whole Clipper team. Now to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: back that up my supporting evidence on this, with that
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: point on the clock, five eighteen to go in the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: third quarter. Up until that point, Norman Powell was shooting
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: twenty two point two percent from the floor. It was
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: an abomination situation. He was riding the vomit comet, Norman Powell.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: He was bad to the bone, is what He was,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: bad to the bone and only had six points at
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that moment, but twenty two percent shooting. So after Jamal
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Murray decided he was a professional wrestler and picked up
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Norman Powell in a punk move. Norman Powell responded, like
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you have to do the rest of the game poal
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: shots sixty. He had more points from that point forward
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: than he did up until that point. And the Clippers
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: as a team shot fifty percent from the floor the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: rest of the game. So congratulations to Jamal Murray. You
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: get the shame bell for the Nuggets. You woke the Clipper,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Norman Powap woke him up, You woke several other players up.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Good job by you. All right, now let's get now
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to the winning side of things. And oh what a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: marvelous night it was for one player in particular, How
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: would you describe Kawhi Leonard and his performance for the Clippers.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: So my word on Kawhi Leonard's performance, I'm gonna use
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the R word retro. That was a retro Kawhi Leonard performance,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: something that the people's team has not seen much of,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: if at all, in big games. That has not been
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the Kawhi Leonard that has made the appearances in the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Clipper laundry. Uh. It's also a tease. It is a
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: another R word, reminder, reminder of what should have been,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: what could have been, but has it up until this point.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: It's also a reminder that if Kawhi Leonard plays like
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: this and then he plays like that, no one's beating
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the Clippers. They're winning the championship this year. Sorry, sorry haters.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And if that happens, ol Man, he erases everything. One
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Clipper championship trumps every other Lakers championship, for example, and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: every Celtic Championship hardest championship to win with the Clippers.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: So if Kawhi can keep doing this, then watch out.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: But it was for the moment is one night, and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it was a retro performance by Kawhi Leonar. It was great.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: And instead of being a bad man, he was a
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: bad bad man. There's a difference between yeah, man, you're
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a bad man to bad bad man. There's a much
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: bigger difference between man, he's a bad man to bad
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: bad man. He was a bad man, he was, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that was the guy the Clippers thought they were gonna
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: get every every night or most nights from Toronto when
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: he came over. That was a version of what he
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: was at one point with the San Antonio Spurs back
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in the day, and that showed up. Denver had no
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: chance to stop him. They were completely helpless. They were
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: running in circles. It's like Mike the headless Chicken trying
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to stop Kawhi Leonard on defense. It was embarrassing. It
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: was like an older brother playing with a younger brother.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Was uncle versus nephew. No chance, absolute chance. And mostly
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the Clippers have seen a rip off version of Kawhi
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: But that was a renaissance. That was a renaissance like
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: performance there, stylish old school Kawhi Leonard terminator like. He
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: was terminator like as not only was he half man,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: he appeared robotic, half machine out there on the court
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: automatica for Kawhi Lennard did not take the volume of shots,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the efficiency was insane, cold blooded sniper like for Kawhi Leonnard.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Now the last word here as we move around, how
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: much trouble after two games are the Nuggets in at
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: this point as the series heads back to Southern California
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: for game number three. So it's not looking good. And
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: you know it, if you know ball, you know it's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: not looking good for the team from Colorado at this
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: particular point is a creamery situation. They talk about the
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Rocky Mountains in Denver, but this is a different rocky
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: rocky road at the creamery is what this is for
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets because you go to La actually Inglewood, and
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: we all know the story in the playoffs. Generally speaking,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: as a rule of thumb, As a rule of thumb,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: role players, the role players perform better at home. So
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets are running literally into the wall, which is
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: at the into It Dome where the Clippers play. The
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Clippers have never lost a home playoff game in that building.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: They have never lost a home playoff game at the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: end to it Dome. Ever, good luck, good luck, lot
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: gonna happen, not gonna happen. And so that means, guys
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that for the most part, no Norman Powell played well
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: at the end of this game, but he was mostly
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: a stiff beginning of the game and at the most
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: of Game one. Bogdanovich is terrible. Should play better at home,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: and even that turd burger Ben Simmons will likely have
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: some moments on the home court. So all those cats,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: all those cats go down the list there, and the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Nuggets without the gift. They got the gift in game one,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the Easter gift, and so then they got to go
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: back Easter weekend gift. And then they go back and
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the Clippers set the record straight.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from Midtown Manhattan, Penn
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Station adjacent. You've been to Manhattan, you know, it's between
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: seventh and eighth Avenue there and it's a garden. From
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the outside, it doesn't look like a garden, but it is.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: You're gonna go into the bowels of the gymnasium there,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and that was the scene for Game two. Game two
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: of the opening round of the NBA Playoffs. There a
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: matchup between Detroit and New York and the Pistons coming
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: back a twenty one to nothing run in Game one.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: As the Detroit basketball team had a reversal in fortune.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: They puked at a time they could not puke, and
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: they lost that game. So I have a lot of
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: friends from New York, family from New York. And of
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: course there's nothing more annoying than Nick fans who haven't
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: won in fifty plus years but are convinced every year
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that they're going to win. It's a fascinating dichotomy that
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the Knickerbocker fan anyway, So the next one, Game one,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: they came back, didn't really play all that well for
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: three quarters, but in the fourth quarter went gangbusters and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: they won the game. So now of course they're gonna
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: win every game in this series. That was Detroit's chance.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. So if you didn't see
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: this game, it was a it was a total domination situation.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: But it was very similar to Game one, very similar
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: to Game one. Cad Cunningham thirty three points, twelve rebounds.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Dennis Schreuder is still alive. Did you know that Dennis
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Shrewder is still alive and he's in the NBA playoffs.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Remember last we talked about him, he was being held hostage. No,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: it was not hostage. He compared playing in the NBA
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to slavery when he was traded at the deadline. Remember that. Yes, Well,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: he's alive and well, and Dennis Shrewder Schrader or whatever.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: He had a tie breaking three pointer with fifty five
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: seconds left on the clock, and the Pistons said bye
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: bye to the longest suck bag streak of playoff basketball.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: A fifteen game postseason ride into the manure as they
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: end that losing streak, longest postseason losing streak in NBA history.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: They beat the Knickerbockers one hundred and ninety four, and
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: so that series now goes back to Detroit and the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Pistons have home court advantage one one. It is a
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: best of five now and Detroit has home court advantage.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: The Pistons terrible franchise. When I was a kid, they
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: were good, and then they had a little bit of
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: success as an adult, and since then they've been terrible.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: But the Detroit Pistons, who had not even been to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a playoff situation since way back before the pandemic, in
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, they gave back pretty much all of the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: lead they had built up. They had a fifteen point lead,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: they gave almost all that back, and then they end
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: up winning, first time they've won a play playoff game
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: since eight. I was like, I was like in junior
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: high school in eight or maybe you know, possibly no,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I was working here. I guess I was working here anyway.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I was eight Eastern Conference Finals against Boston the last
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: time they Detroit Piston's team had won, which means, if
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: you are fifteen years old, actually older than that was
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: seventeen Holy crap, twenty twenty five, So seventeen seventeen years.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: That means you're like in high school, you're almost out
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: of high school and your entire Wow, that's wild. How
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: does that happen? It happened anyway, The better story is
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: in the losing locker room. So that is where we
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: will go. Jalen Brunson thirty seven points for Jalen Brunson
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and not enough as the number three seeded Knickerbockers lose
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: this game. So let us discuss. Let us discuss, So
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: which Knicks players get to grab the biggest chunk, biggest
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: chunk of the dirty water the dirty water dog of
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: shame and blame? So which Knicks player gets that big
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: portion of the sausage the dirty water dog of shame
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and blame? So I've got thirty rock, Shakespearean and lobbying,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: we are going to go whale watching. It looked like
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of the Knicks were in a boat watching.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: They weren't doing a lot. They were not doing a lot.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Now numb burn? Did I get a numb burn? So
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: this was if you're a nick apologist, a painful night
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: all the way around, assigning the dirty water dog of
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: shame and blame, making that out there, putting that out there.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Let's start at the obvious one, which is the cat.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Hello Kitty. That would be the full, full, fully immersive
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Carl Anthony Town's experience. Now he's known as Cat, and
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I know our friends listening in Minnesota snickering and they're smiling,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and there's a Cheshire Cat kind of vibe, the big
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: smile there, and they're thinking, Hey, I told you so,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: this is the guy. That's the guy we remember from
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the Wolves. That's the guy. Yeah, Helpe, you enjoy him
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: New York. Yeah. And so it's not necessarily a case
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: where Karl Anthony Towns didn't do what was expected right.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: This was living up to the scouting report. This performance
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: was the full, fully immersive Carl Anthony Towns experience. Playoff
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Cat here, Kitty, Kitty, Kitty, here, kitty Cat. That's playoff Cat.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: That's Karl Anthony Towns is what it was. Sporadic malfunction.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Sporadic malfunction. He is a big man, and he plays
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: a lot like j James Harden, who will disappear for
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: a random game in a playoff series. Well, Karl Anthony
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Towns does the same thing, and so he's got this
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: glitch in the software. There's a problem, and he suffers
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: from shrinkage. It's like he's in cold water. In the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: playoffs there in big spots, Towns had a pedestrian stat
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: line ten points, six rebounds, no assist for Carl Anthony Towns.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: He played thirty three mostly uselessness. We mentioned whale watching
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: like he was just out there whale watching, right, they
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: might as well put fat Joe out there. He was
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: in the crowd. Fat Joe could have done the same thing.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I put him out there. Carl Anthony Towns was five
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: of eleven from the floor. But that again does not
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: do to do it justice right, does not do it
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: justice because the second half was a special kind of manure,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: a special cond of maneuver. You see, Carl Anthony Towns
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: played the second half a game to thirty Rock. Remember
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: that that show thirty Rock, Tracy Morgan. Remember when he
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: was at the next game while back and he vomited
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: all over the court. He rode the vomit comet he
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: up chucked all over the court. There that was carl
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Anthony Towns in the second half. The only difference between
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Tracy Morgan and carl Anthony Towns is Tracy Morgan was
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: taken to the hospital. Carl Anthony Towns stayed on the court. Uh.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: And you, you, who might not have even watched this game,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: scored as many points and as as carl Antony Towns.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I scored as many points as carl Anthony Towns in
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the second half. He pitched a shutout. He pitched a shutout,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: did not score a single point in the second half.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Gooseag as the joker says, Carl Anthony Towns zero, a
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: zip and a zilch nada. He got, as my grandfather
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: would say, buppkis in the second half. And so there
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: you go. That is a two hundred twenty million dollar
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: ball player.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: That is, he.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Gave him the two undred twenty million, He's got the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: two undred twenty million dollars forty nine million a year.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Guy didn't even score in the second half of a
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: home playoff game, not a road game, not a road game,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: home playoff game. And that that's Carl Anthony. It's hard
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to take the nick seriously. As much as we enjoy
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson. Right, the way that Brunson plays, there's an
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: edge to Brunson game and all that. The antithesis of
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: that would be Karl Anthony Towns and so having them
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: together and that there are others right og was Oh no,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Annonobi was no good and he was bad, but he's
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: a supporting character. Karl Anthony Towns is supposed to be
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: more than that. The expectations are higher for him and
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: he did not do it. Now page two, One of
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the big talking points from this Knicks Pistons game were
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: people up in arms. There was a lot of finger
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: pointing and blaming and shaming when it comes to a
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Nick player who actually had a great stat line and
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: played well, not great, but well for the Knicks. What
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: do you make of the criticism of Jalen Brunson embellishing
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: contact throughout the game as the Knicks go down? So
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: what did you make of it? A lot of criticism
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: as Jalen Brunson was flopping around the old floppa flopp
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: of flopper is what he was doing. So the criticism
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: of Jalen Brunson, the word is the E word expected.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: It was expected. Now Brunson I like watching him play.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't think he would be able to do this.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I remember when he was with the Mavericks and he
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: had this really good playoff run when Luca Huka Luka
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: got hurt and he played well. I was like, well,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: you know, not really sure whether or not this is sustainable.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And to his credit, he has consistently played at that
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: level as a nick and he is a nuisance if
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: he's not on your team, the kind of a guy
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: that you like when he's on your team, and when
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: he's not on your squad, you think he's a schmuck
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and you don't like him, and he's a pest and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: all that. So that's that's fair. That's not exactly the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: most pleasing to the eye to watch Jalen Brunson try
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: to bait the officials into a call every single time
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: there is contact on pretty much every possession where you're
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: running an offensive set in the NBA. As far as
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the wide angle lends on this, the way I look
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: at it, it is a watching Jalen Brunson plays a
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Shakespearean situation like a Shakespearean play. William Shakespeare, not the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Merchant of Venice, the foul Merchant of the garden will
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: call him the foul Merchant of the garden. We will
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: call him. He has the ability the innata bildy. He
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: might as well be over on Madison Avenue trying to
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: sell fouls whatever it is, it's a foul. Oh my god,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I'm dying over here. I'm dying. It's like he's on
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Broadway every single time, foul baiting, foul bit put rules
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: in to try to stop that, and he's able to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: work himself around the rules, selling the fouls as we say,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So Brunson has become a Rhodes
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: scholar at that all right, now, final point, speaking of
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the foul situation, there was one person in particular who
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: was huffing and puffing following the game, very upset, and
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: that would be the head coach of the Knickerbockers, Tom Thibodeaux.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Tom Thibodeaux, that's right. He was very unhappy, very very unhappy.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: There after the game. The head coach of the next
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: he argued against Caid Cuttingham getting so many foul shots
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: in this game, and he said there was marginal contact. Well,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: rather than me give you the quote verbatim, here is
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Tom Thibodeau, commenting on the officiating, tigoles.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Huge discrepancy and free throws huge. So I got to
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: take a look at that. I don't understand, you know
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: how I'm one side. You know, you talk about the
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: direct line drives, the guys getting fouled as not being
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: called right. So and look, I really don't give a
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: crap how they call the game as long as it's
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: consistent on both sides. So if Cunningham's driving and there's
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: marginal contact and he's getting to the line, then Jalen
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: deserves to be getting to the line. It's really that simple.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Okay. So it's that simple. Hey, we recorded that. Doesn't
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that sound like old school audio from like the nineteens,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: fifties or something like seventy seventy five years old audio
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: or something like that. Tom Thibodeau, We had a tin
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: can in a string. We recorded that, all right, So
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: what is you just heard the audio? What is the
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau looking to accomplish with that rant
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: about the officials. What is Tom Thibodeau looking to accomplish?
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: So my word on this one is politicking. That is
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: my word is politicking. It is the time of the year.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Here we are in late April, and this will go
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: on through May and June. If you watch all of this,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Tom Thibodeau is politicking for calls. He's lobbying. He's lobbying
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: the referees in the league office, and they monitor all
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: the soundbites and all this nonsense by publicly condemning, by
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: pointing out the inaccuracy of the officials. Obviously, you know
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: what that means. There is inconsistent work here and my
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: entire life, the reason the Knicks haven't won championship in
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: my lifetime is because of the officials. Everyone's out to
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: get New York teams. Obviously, no one ever leans towards
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the Knickerbockers anyway. So he's trying to influence we know
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: what this is, trying to influence future decisions by the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: officials and have a cause. Which that's one of the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: issues with all of sports, but in basketball in particular,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: it's what you choose to enforce. Much like police work, right,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: there are laws for everything. What do you choose to
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: enforce is not to enforce. And in the NBA, what
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: do you choose. They've actually let the players play a
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: lot more in the playoffs the first couple of games
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: than they had in the past. So anyway, this is
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: a common tactic what Tom Thibodeau is doing among coaches,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: especially during the postseason here where any call could turn
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the whole season and series around and all that stuff.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: And I watched the Knicks and it's pretty much if
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson doesn't get to the line, there's a lot
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: of ISO with Jalen Brunson. And if that doesn't work,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: you're just shooting jump shots and you don't usually get
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: foul calls on jump shots. But what do I know,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I just host the Overnight Show.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Here we go?
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: How about here we go? This is one big Ben
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: gets grill, go ahead.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: Cool.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: So we already know that Kirk Cousins doesn't want to
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: be traded until after the draft. The latest report from
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: Adam Schefter says that the Falcons are asking any team
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: trading for Cousins pay million of his remaining forty five
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: million in guarantees.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: So far, no team has been willing to do that.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: Ben, do you think after the draft, the team will
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: be willing to do that or will the Falclones have
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: to scale back their demands.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Uh, well, the Falcons have to get rid of Kirk Cousins,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: and they have to play ball with Kirk Cousins because
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: he's got a no trade cost. And if I'm not mistaken,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: they just added Easton Stick, which I believe his code
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: for suck. But he's the former Charger. They added him,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: so they've they've got their back up. They're clearing the deck.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: They're they're adding a player to get rid of Cousins.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: They will end up trading him. They'll work something out
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: and he's likely going to go to the Cleveland Browns.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: If Aaron Rodgers were tires, then he can go to Pittsburgh.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: But he'll go somewhere. He's not gonna stay in Atlanta.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: Next Chargers GM Joe Horitz said that they don't feel
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: pressure to address any position in the draft and therefore
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: they can just take whoever the best player is when
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: they're picks up, Ben, do you think.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: They should be addressing a specific position. It's full of crap.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: That's that's the way. That's a non answer answer. But
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: we're we're just gonna draft the best player available. It's pulker.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: What if the best players a quarterback? They're gonna draft
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: a quarterback.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: No, they're not.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: They're full of crap. I mean, it's shut up. They're liars.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: Next, the Bucks got blown out by the Pacers in
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: Game one of their series against Indiana, but Milwaukee was
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: without Damian Lillard. Reports are that he'll be back for
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: game two or three. Will that be enough time for
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: the Bucks to turn the series around?
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Two words? Cooper Loop, Doc Rivers. They are cooked? Okay,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Doc Rivers done. The Pacers should win that series anyway.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I love Leylard, I loved them in Portland, not as
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: much as Milwaukee. And he's a fine player and all that,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: but that is a flawed team the box, and even
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: with Dame Lillard he's been out for a while, they're
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: not gonna win. How do we go as they win
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: the game? I won the game, I won the game.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I won.
