1:22
Speaker 2: Beginning of another night of the Beann Malord Show, another
1:27
Speaker 2: week of the show, one week after another, chopping down
1:32
Speaker 2: the late night hours.
1:34
Speaker 1: As we are in the air everywhere, constituents united because
1:41
Speaker 1: we know where the hot sauce is. We know where
1:44
Speaker 1: it is coast to coast, border, the border and beyond
1:47
Speaker 1: on the vast and flashly powerful microphones of fsre emmundating
1:55
Speaker 1: live from the side the ring side chatter that's right
2:01
Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by Kyrie
2:05
Speaker 1: in okase he had a cheshire cat smile. We'll get
2:09
Speaker 1: to why he had a chesshire cat smile in a minute.
2:12
Speaker 1: This portion of the Ben Maler Show made possible in
2:15
Speaker 1: part by our friends at tire Ract. That's right. For
2:18
Speaker 1: over forty years, that's a long time, that's two generations,
2:21
Speaker 1: tire i Raq has been helping customers find the right
2:24

2:28
Speaker 1: and free back by free road hazard protection, with convenient
2:33
Speaker 1: installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com.
2:38
Speaker 1: The Way Tire Buying Show be so our lead this hour,
2:43
Speaker 1: I say, play the hits. I don't know if this
2:44
Speaker 1: is playing the hits, but we do do a sports
2:47
Speaker 1: talk radio, so so plausitively we should talk about sports occasionally.
2:51
Speaker 1: And I took one for the team. I watched the
2:54
Speaker 1: game in the dust bowl. It's my public service to
2:58
Speaker 1: you to get back to the community, get back to
3:00
Speaker 1: you so you don't have to waste your time on this.
3:02
Speaker 1: But there I was Game two NBA Finals, sitting on
3:05
Speaker 1: Mike took us as Tyrese Halliburton and the Pacers looking
3:10
Speaker 1: to steal another game and do the unthinkable against SGA
3:15
Speaker 1: and the Thunder in a finals that has been the
3:18
Speaker 1: lowest rated finals since they've kept track of this stuff.
3:24
Speaker 1: My god, Game one, that's all we have until game two.
3:27
Speaker 1: In Game one, nobody watched, so I don't know if
3:30
Speaker 1: you checked it out based on the early results, probably not.
3:33
Speaker 1: And so we did as we said, a PSA for you.
3:36
Speaker 1: So Shay jogis Alexander another big performance by the former Clipper.
3:42
Speaker 1: That's what former Clippers do. Thirty four points. Alice Caruso,
3:47
Speaker 1: he's a former Laker. They got rid of him. He's
3:50
Speaker 1: one of there. They don't need him. There good players.
3:53
Speaker 1: So Caruso had twenty off the bench, and the Thunder
3:57
Speaker 1: get it done. They win. Not from pillar to post,
4:02
Speaker 1: but just about there. They beat the Indiana Pacers one
4:05
Speaker 1: twenty three to one oh seven the final, and so
4:08
Speaker 1: now we are squared up. It is a best of
4:10
Speaker 1: five series, as the Pacers went to Indiana to get
4:15
Speaker 1: the wins, so they get home court advantage. As long
4:19
Speaker 1: as they don't stub their toe at home. As long
4:22
Speaker 1: as they don't stub their toe at home, they'll be
4:25
Speaker 1: all right. So Jayalen Williams said nineteen, Aaron Wiggins eighteen,
4:29
Speaker 1: and Chet Holmer with fifteen for the Thunder and a
4:32
Speaker 1: partridge to the pear tree as okaysee wins. It was
4:36
Speaker 1: the first time they've won a finals game since many
4:40
Speaker 1: many years ago, back in twenty twelve. That was back
4:43
Speaker 1: when guys like Kevin Durant and others were playing for
4:46
Speaker 1: the Thunder that was against Miami. Game three is not
4:48
Speaker 1: until Wednesday. Why because load management. Baby, you can't expect
4:53
Speaker 1: these NBA players to have to have one day off.
4:56
Speaker 1: Oh my god, no, what do you? What kind of
4:58
Speaker 1: draconian a hole are you? What is wrong with you?
5:02
Speaker 1: The wing everything they can, so no one watches the finals.
5:05
Speaker 1: Lets just take a couple of days off between games,
5:07
Speaker 1: all right. So they're taking two games off Wednesday in Indianapolis.
5:12
Speaker 1: I can check that out be the first finals game
5:14
Speaker 1: since I was there twenty five years ago when they
5:17
Speaker 1: played the Lakers in the NBA Finals. The better story, though,
5:20
Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room. And so let us discuss.
5:23
Speaker 1: We know on this show we love losers, and let's
5:27
Speaker 1: start out there with the Indiana because they're the big losers.
5:30
Speaker 1: They wear the scarlet letter the giant L there on
5:33
Speaker 1: their chest. So what went wrong? What went wrong for
5:36
Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers in game number two? So
5:42
Speaker 1: I've got that was a wrong went. I talked about YMCA,
5:46
Speaker 1: hammer and dog whistle, and we will combine all of
5:51
Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to make some delicious,
5:57
Speaker 1: delicious apple fritters. The perfect donut is the apple fritter.
6:04
Speaker 1: There's nothing that can quite match the apple fritter. Cinnamon
6:06
Speaker 1: roll is also a fine donut, but the apple fritter
6:09
Speaker 1: at the very top. So A, when you play the
6:12
Speaker 1: let's point the fingers game, and I love playing the
6:14
Speaker 1: let's point the fingers game, what went wrong with the Pacers?
6:16
Speaker 1: You point a finger over here? Yeah, you point a
6:19
Speaker 1: finger over there, and you point a finger everywhere is
6:22
Speaker 1: what you do? Why not? Right now? This was an
6:24
Speaker 1: epic failure by the Indiana basketball team. First stretches this
6:28
Speaker 1: game now, mainly in the second quarter, but really the
6:30
Speaker 1: first quarters, well, the first half. They were stuck in sand.
6:36
Speaker 1: The first half of this game. Indiana looked like they
6:39
Speaker 1: had forgotten how to play basketball. So what happens? You
6:42
Speaker 1: spent a couple yestra days in Oklahoma. You just don't
6:44
Speaker 1: know what you're doing? My god. First up, let's start
6:47
Speaker 1: with the headliner, Tyrese Halliburton. Are you bleeping kidding me?
6:53
Speaker 1: All right? Are you get this? Guy's the engine? Right? Drue?
6:57
Speaker 1: He's the engine there? And ice water point yard captain
7:00
Speaker 1: clutch nobody forget Jalen runsome right now, four big game
7:05
Speaker 1: winning shots in the playoffs here for Halliburton. He's the guy,
7:09
Speaker 1: and he's gotta be the guy. You can't be the
7:11
Speaker 1: guy if you're not the guy, and he wasn't the
7:12
Speaker 1: guy against SGA. If Andy's gonna keep this series going
7:17
Speaker 1: humming along, hum hum hum hum. No, there were no
7:19
Speaker 1: there was no humming. It was chop chop, chop chop chop.
7:22
Speaker 3: Uh.
7:22
Speaker 1: He was out there and the way he played in
7:25
Speaker 1: the first half of this game, side by side comparison.
7:30
Speaker 1: All right, the real talk. I know he didn't call
7:33
Speaker 1: show anymore, this real talk. So the way Halliburton played
7:36
Speaker 1: in the first half, especially the second quarter, he would
7:39
Speaker 1: not have been picked at a YMCA pickup game the
7:42
Speaker 1: way he was performing. Man, where was the aggression? They
7:47
Speaker 1: take some sleeping pills prior to the game Halliburton. Hello,
7:50
Speaker 1: uh and the elite playmaking, we've seen it, but it
7:55
Speaker 1: wasn't there, not in the first half. And uh, you know, listen,
7:58
Speaker 1: Thunder have a good defensive. But let's not get carried away.
8:01
Speaker 1: This is more about what Halliburton didn't do than any
8:04
Speaker 1: amazing adjustment that the Oklahoma City basketball team did do.
8:10
Speaker 1: And Haliburton is supposed to be a one percenter. That
8:13
Speaker 1: he's crossed the rubicon and he's a one percent talent
8:17
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get it done against everybody anywhere anyhow, anyway,
8:22
Speaker 1: and that was not happening in this game in the
8:24
Speaker 1: first half. And the MALA report card on this tyree
8:28
Speaker 1: Saliburton picking up an I rating, not an A, not
8:32
Speaker 1: a B, not a C, not a D, not an
8:34
Speaker 1: iraty that's for the ick factor, because there was a
8:37
Speaker 1: lot of ick. Right. He's the spirit animal of the Pacers.
8:42
Speaker 1: He is the spirit animal of the Pacers, and the
8:47
Speaker 1: animal was taking a nap and when the game was
8:51
Speaker 1: being decided, and in this game, the game was being
8:53
Speaker 1: decided in the first half here, he was a real clunker.
8:56
Speaker 1: I don't know how many other ways I can say it.
8:59
Speaker 1: Gotta figure out. We got to figure out how to
9:02
Speaker 1: break through game after game, right, no days off, all
9:05
Speaker 1: that stuff, and break the pressure of Oklahoma City and
9:08
Speaker 1: not wilt under the pressure, which is what appeared to
9:12
Speaker 1: be happening here. The Pacers offense was stagnant in the
9:17
Speaker 1: first half. That's not something we are used to seeing.
9:19
Speaker 1: This is one of the top offensive teams, if not
9:21
Speaker 1: the top offensive team in the NBA, and it starts
9:24
Speaker 1: with Haliburt. It starts with him, and Oklahoma City boxed
9:27
Speaker 1: him up. The Thunder built up an eighteen point lead
9:31
Speaker 1: at halftime, and they didn't trail in the entire second
9:35
Speaker 1: I have Indiana shot less than thirty five percent in
9:38
Speaker 1: the first half of this game and had just forty
9:40
Speaker 1: one points at halftime, which is not very good. That
9:44
Speaker 1: played better than the second half, but it was all
9:45
Speaker 1: extended garbage time Halliburton when the game was decided. In
9:48
Speaker 1: the first half, he was one of five shooting. He
9:51
Speaker 1: made one more basket than you and I made in
9:54
Speaker 1: the first half, and three assists in twenty four minutes
9:57
Speaker 1: of action. And the Pacers, listen, they played well in
10:01
Speaker 1: the second half, but it was a lot of stat
10:03
Speaker 1: stuffing in stat bandito and whatnot. And we often point
10:08
Speaker 1: out how that is something we don't give credit to,
10:13
Speaker 1: garbage time stat stuff. He doesn't really do it for us.
10:15
Speaker 1: And then you got Rick Carlisle who was holding the
10:19
Speaker 1: game console. He was he had the joystick and he
10:22
Speaker 1: was moving around the vomit comet. The Indiana coach there,
10:25
Speaker 1: he had the joystick, was moving around the vomit commet.
10:27
Speaker 1: The Pacers played like they were content to win game one,
10:31
Speaker 1: which they did win. They won a game. You won
10:35
Speaker 1: a game. Congratulations, you got it done. On the road
10:39
Speaker 1: way to go all right. And Carlisle championship coach, all
10:44
Speaker 1: that stuff. You can kiss his ass because he's got
10:45
Speaker 1: the championship pedigree. He's supposed to be one of the
10:48
Speaker 1: top coaches. I mean, he is often, but this was
10:50
Speaker 1: not his night here, he looked like he drew up
10:54
Speaker 1: the game plan on a napkin at some dive bar
10:56
Speaker 1: that they went to in the Greater Indianapolis area in
11:00
Speaker 1: between games on the day off there as the thunder or.
11:04
Speaker 1: They were playing with the kind of age that you
11:07
Speaker 1: would expect expect a team to play with in this situation,
11:11
Speaker 1: and the Pacers did not match it. They were not
11:14
Speaker 1: able to match the running around like a headless chicken activity.
11:19
Speaker 1: So you got Rick Carlile too many adjustments here. Not
11:24
Speaker 1: a great night for the Pacers, and so they lose,
11:27
Speaker 1: and they lose any game that wasn't all that close.
11:30
Speaker 1: Here is Carlisle pointing out the first half was not
11:34
Speaker 1: a masterpiece.
11:35
Speaker 4: Another bad first half. Obviously it was a big problem,
11:40
Speaker 4: and we just played poorly. A little better than the
11:43
Speaker 4: second half, but you can't be a team that's reactive
11:47
Speaker 4: and expect to be successful or half consistency. So we're
11:50
Speaker 4: gonna feel lot better on Wednesday.
11:52
Speaker 1: Can we get him a throat, Lausnge. It sounds like
11:54
Speaker 1: he's got a little throat issue there. Maybe some water
11:58
Speaker 1: with salt, garlic. I recommend garlic. That's my go to.
12:02
Speaker 1: It normally works for me. Now one of our favorites
12:05
Speaker 1: and for us, the greatest name in the history of
12:07
Speaker 1: the NBA, friend Marcel and Brooklyn. Pascal Siakam. Uh Siakam
12:12
Speaker 1: had a quiet game. He was three of eleven shooting. Yeah,
12:15
Speaker 1: he didn't really do much of anything when the game
12:18
Speaker 1: was in the bounce, or even when it wasn't in
12:19
Speaker 1: the bounce, and hey, Pascal, what the hell happened?
12:23
Speaker 5: It was pretty close in the beginning.
12:24
Speaker 1: I mean, I think.
12:27
Speaker 5: Just a lot of on answer buckets, maybe some key
12:29
Speaker 5: turnovers that we can take away. But yeah, they did
12:32
Speaker 5: a good job being being disruptive and they got out
12:35
Speaker 5: in transition, and yeah, they made some tough shots. I mean,
12:38
Speaker 5: they got guys that contributed, you know, across the board,
12:42
Speaker 5: and you know, they got off the bench, guys made
12:44
Speaker 5: some big shots, they got rebounds, you know.
12:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just did a.
12:48
Speaker 5: Little bit of the little things, like more than we did.
12:52
Speaker 1: I would say, more than just the little things. But
12:54
Speaker 1: we move on now on the other side. Page two.
12:56
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. So this is what was expect This was
13:00
Speaker 1: the analysis when everyone was licking the toes of OKC.
13:06
Speaker 1: It was this is where they're going to play every
13:08
Speaker 1: single game. So have Oklahoma City and SGA now regained
13:12
Speaker 1: complete and total control of the NBA Finals after this
13:18
Speaker 1: body blow of a win, Have they regained control? So
13:21
Speaker 1: that would be a premature take, right, That would be
13:24
Speaker 1: a premature take. All the Thunder did was avoid getting
13:30
Speaker 1: blown into the tornado, getting blown into the tour. If
13:33
Speaker 1: they had lost again at home, that would have been
13:36
Speaker 1: def Con one. If they lose at home back to back,
13:39
Speaker 1: that's what the Knickerbockers did against the Pacers. They'd have
13:43
Speaker 1: been on life support if that had happened there. And
13:45
Speaker 1: so that did not happen, so you don't have to
13:47
Speaker 1: worry about that. But the Oklahoma City they just again
13:50
Speaker 1: they played at a different speed, which is a lot
13:52
Speaker 1: to do with the Pacers more than it is against
13:54
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma City. You expected them to play with that.
13:56
Speaker 1: You did not expect the Indiana to come out there
13:58
Speaker 1: in lollygag, which is what they did here. And the
14:01
Speaker 1: Thunder guy, he got more rebounds, they had more steals,
14:04
Speaker 1: more fast break points than the Pacers. The fifty to
14:07
Speaker 1: fifty balls, I love my fifty to fifty balls. I
14:12
Speaker 1: live for fifty to fifty balls. Remember Phil Jackson back
14:15
Speaker 1: in the days the hands on balls. That was his
14:17
Speaker 1: big mantra. Loved hands on balls. So all right, the
14:21
Speaker 1: loose balls grabbing them, it seemed like it was like
14:24
Speaker 1: eighty ninety five percent Oklahoma City on those particular situations.
14:29
Speaker 1: And ogle Op City he plays regularly diving on the
14:31
Speaker 1: floor to secure loose balls to extend possessions. Didn't see
14:35
Speaker 1: too much of that, certainly not as much as were
14:37
Speaker 1: used to from the Indiana basketball team in this game.
14:40
Speaker 1: And then you have Chad Holmer, who brought the golden hammer.
14:45
Speaker 1: The golden hammer he brought down there with the timely
14:49
Speaker 1: offense in the first half, the early damage from skeletor
14:52
Speaker 1: imagine that you're Indiana, you lost a skeletor. He was big.
14:56
Speaker 1: He was big, he was calling any he's big. In
14:59
Speaker 1: the first half. He had fifteen points and six rebounds,
15:02
Speaker 1: but eleven points and four rebounds in the first half,
15:05
Speaker 1: and that second quarter run when Oklahoma City took control
15:09
Speaker 1: of the game and never gave up the momentum you
15:12
Speaker 1: idiots like to talk about. All right, so timing does matter,
15:15
Speaker 1: Timing doesn't matter right now. Last word, so we mentioned earlier.
15:18
Speaker 1: Game one was a total dudr total dud. The lowest
15:24
Speaker 1: ratings in the modern era, going back to the eighties,
15:27
Speaker 1: calling back to Ronald Reagan as president. Oh my god,
15:30
Speaker 1: it sucked and just a few things in life. This
15:33
Speaker 1: is something we expected to happen at happen. So I noticed,
15:36
Speaker 1: and ant of you noticed here. As you know, I
15:38
Speaker 1: generally try to avoid Doris Burke because, like most people,
15:41
Speaker 1: I like good broadcasting. She's not good. But for a
15:44
Speaker 1: few minutes, in a moment of weakness, I had the
15:46
Speaker 1: broadcast up. I made a mistake. But during that couple
15:50
Speaker 1: of minutes I had the audio up. I heard Mike Breen,
15:52
Speaker 1: the play by play announcer, who emphasized that the thunder
15:57
Speaker 1: Pacers series was great for people who love pure basketball.
16:03
Speaker 1: That was the line, right, pure basketball? Okay, So what
16:07
Speaker 1: is your rebuttal to that particular line from the lead
16:10
Speaker 1: voice of the NBA Finals. So that is a roll
16:14
Speaker 1: your eyes response? Is what that is? You roll your
16:16
Speaker 1: eyes when you hear somebody say pure basketball, because it's nonsense, right,
16:21
Speaker 1: It's poppy cock, is what it is. Here, give me
16:25
Speaker 1: a bleeping break. Pure basketball, my fat ass, pure basketball.
16:30
Speaker 1: You know what else is pure? I'm not a big
16:33
Speaker 1: drinker of this, but skim milk is pure. You want
16:36
Speaker 1: to drink skim milk, knock yourself out, No thanks. And
16:40
Speaker 1: by the way, last I checked, this is not the
16:42
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties here where the basketball hardos are sitting there
16:46
Speaker 1: with their pants down watching the back door cuts getting
16:50
Speaker 1: all excited. That's not the way this works. It didn't
16:52
Speaker 1: work then either. By the way it didn't work then either.
16:55
Speaker 1: That's what's called narrow casting, not broadcasting. And there are
17:00
Speaker 1: not enough. It is a proven fact there are not
17:02
Speaker 1: enough basketball hardos to provide a big enough audience for
17:08
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. We prove that in Game one. That
17:11
Speaker 1: will continue to be the place you need the case.
17:13
Speaker 1: You need to attract the casual. You need to attract
17:17
Speaker 1: the run of the mill Joe blow fan. That's you
17:20
Speaker 1: need to track. They don't care about the purity of
17:23
Speaker 1: the game. It doesn't matter, right, it doesn't matter. And
17:27
Speaker 1: pure basketball is also at dog whistles what it is.
17:29
Speaker 1: Let me call like it is right. When you say
17:31
Speaker 1: pure basketball, it's code for there's no stars. Right, the
17:35
Speaker 1: teams aren't popular. And let me just gaslight you the viewer,
17:41
Speaker 1: and shame you. And to think abou if you watch
17:43
Speaker 1: you're a pure basketball fan. You're like a better fan.
17:46
Speaker 1: It's some kind of basketball utopia bowl crap, it's not.
17:51
Speaker 1: I mean, god, this is the perfect trifecta. It's the
17:55
Speaker 1: perfect trifecta. Now what is You got no stars, You've
17:58
Speaker 1: got no compelling store and no ratings? Ding ding ding
18:02
Speaker 1: ding ding. That's what you got, right? Do you think
18:04
Speaker 1: the average fan cares about a dribble handoff and gets
18:09
Speaker 1: all aroused because they see off the ball movement? Come on, like,
18:13
Speaker 1: what are you doing right? No, they want the personality.
18:17
Speaker 1: They want that. They want the good guys, the villains.
18:20
Speaker 1: There's none of that. There's none of that. And it's
18:24
Speaker 1: like a traveling All Star team the Thunder. I don't
18:27
Speaker 1: mean that, Na Conway. I mean like an AAU team,
18:30
Speaker 1: the way they react after games and whatnot. Here and
18:33

20:55
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed your talk with the man who made
20:58
Speaker 1: the Canadian Meet and greed hap be Nico on the
21:01
Speaker 1: fifth hour. He's inspired me to save up my money
21:04
Speaker 1: so I can afford to fly you all out to
21:06
Speaker 1: Fullerton to make the Fulletin Meet and Greet happen. And
21:11
Speaker 1: he made sure to mention that he Ferg Dog spelled
21:14
Speaker 1: meat with m e at Well, there'll be a lot
21:16
Speaker 1: of meat there in Fullerton. And and now Ferg Dog,
21:20
Speaker 1: as you know, for us to go to Fullerton, You're
21:22
Speaker 1: going to have to provide like winter clothing because that
21:25
Speaker 1: is Siberia. It's always very cold there and rainy and
21:31
Speaker 1: snowy and really bad weather there. And how long is
21:34
Speaker 1: that flight? The flight, well, it depends which direction you go.
21:37
Speaker 1: If you go around the world above the North Pole,
21:41
Speaker 1: that'll be along or if you go the other way
21:43
Speaker 1: over Asia and then back around Europe. So it depends
21:47
Speaker 1: which direction you go. But it's it's a long flight.
21:48
Speaker 1: And of course in rush hour, if you go in La,
21:54
Speaker 1: it might take four hours to get there. It might
21:56
Speaker 1: be especially right now coming in here, it must be
22:00
Speaker 1: summer then hot weather. People burning craft, that's wonderful. I
22:03
Speaker 1: love that coming in here and the road I normally
22:06
Speaker 1: take close to people are burning craft. Wonderful here in
22:09
Speaker 1: La Peter Wright Sin says Mallard. Hype to see your
22:13
Speaker 1: favorite undersized baller Caruso, who the Lakers thought was trash
22:18
Speaker 1: and couldn't play for them dominate off the bench. Another
22:21
Speaker 1: mistake by Jeanie Boss and the Lakers. When will they learn?
22:26
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I am glad the Lakers don't
22:28
Speaker 1: know what they're doing, Peter, because it's kind of fun.
22:31
Speaker 1: Mark the full name guy. Remember this guy quit the show.
22:34
Speaker 1: He couldn't and I understand. Listen, it's not easy being
22:36
Speaker 1: an overnight talk radio caller. It is not easy. It's
22:39
Speaker 1: not for everyone. It wears on your health. And Mark
22:43
Speaker 1: the full name Guy did it for a number of years.
22:45
Speaker 1: He was in the battlefield, the battleground of overnight talk radio,
22:49
Speaker 1: and he reached the point he could no longer be
22:51
Speaker 1: part of the show because it was just too difficult
22:54
Speaker 1: physically demanding. There's a lot of peer pressures, of a
22:58
Speaker 1: lot of attacking that goes on when you're a star
23:00
Speaker 1: caller on the show. It's not for everyone. And Mark
23:03
Speaker 1: the full name guy who quit a couple years ago,
23:04
Speaker 1: he says, you are advocating for rigged playoff matchups. He says,
23:09
Speaker 1: ninety five percent of the time is not enough. So
23:11
Speaker 1: even when all those stars on the Lakers suck, the
23:15
Speaker 1: NBA needs to make sure they win. Ha ha ha ha.
23:18
Speaker 1: There you go. You miss me, don't you? No, I've
23:21
Speaker 1: not missed you at all. The show has been fine.
23:23
Speaker 1: In fact, many would say the show's been better without
23:25
Speaker 1: you calling the show. We do not miss you at all.
23:30
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the NBA needs to rig anything, although
23:32
Speaker 1: they have been accused of that for many years. It's
23:34
Speaker 1: been proven with Tim Donnee that games were rigged. I
23:37
Speaker 1: would argue, though, that this is a disaster for the NBA.
23:41
Speaker 1: It is a television show, This is a bad product.
23:44
Speaker 1: The owners a couple of years ago changed the rules.
23:48
Speaker 1: They changed the rules to accommodate, to accommodate these smaller
23:54
Speaker 1: market teams, and that helped pave the way into some
23:57
Speaker 1: degree for what happened in this postseason. And if the
24:01
Speaker 1: audience is not there, the advertisers will not be there,
24:05
Speaker 1: and then you're going to have problems. You're going to
24:09
Speaker 1: have problems, not supermarket, Steve he says, does anyone else
24:13
Speaker 1: know why there was a three day gap between the
24:16
Speaker 1: home playoff game for the Oklahoma City Thunder. To make
24:19
Speaker 1: these players stay in Oklahoma City for three days is
24:22
Speaker 1: just cruel and unusual. Well, that's what they usually do
24:25
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals. They normally have done Thursday and
24:28
Speaker 1: Sunday because television doesn't get great numbers on Friday and
24:33
Speaker 1: Saturday because people are actually out doing crap, and so
24:37
Speaker 1: normally those days do not dry a massive television audience.
24:40
Speaker 1: So They've always kind of done it that way. It
24:42
Speaker 1: doesn't matter when you're in Boston or LA or San
24:44
Speaker 1: Francisco if you have a couple days off, or Miami
24:48
Speaker 1: you kind of like that, or even Dallas. When you're
24:50
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma City, Eh, not so much. King Rory writes
24:55
Speaker 1: in I says, I hope you and all the Bennets
24:57
Speaker 1: are safe. With all the unrest going on, it looked
25:00
Speaker 1: like Indiana had all the momentum after game one, and
25:04
Speaker 1: we all know momentum doesn't exist in sports, That's right,
25:06
Speaker 1: King Roy. Also, everyone knows black magic doesn't work on Sundays,
25:11
Speaker 1: so Indiana was doomed before tip off. They've got to
25:14
Speaker 1: go on on the internet and get one of those
25:16
Speaker 1: new voodoo dolls. They've got to work on that, and
25:19
Speaker 1: they gotta they gotta work on that for sure. Uh yeah, no.
25:22
Speaker 1: So here's here's no the As far as the stuff
25:25
Speaker 1: going on in La, it's it's it's pretty much contained
25:29
Speaker 1: to one part of LA, so it's not but it's
25:32
Speaker 1: so scary.
25:33
Speaker 6: Ben, I don't.
25:35
Speaker 1: When I was flying back in today, I was like, really,
25:40
Speaker 1: I only cried three times. I'm just an emotional, very emotional.
25:44
Speaker 1: I understand it's scary, it's not getting hurt, it's not
25:49
Speaker 1: ide you would. There's a lot of instigators out there
25:53
Speaker 1: causing problems that don't need to be out there. But uh,
25:55
Speaker 1: you know, well we'll settle it. This happens if I've
25:58
Speaker 1: lived here my entire life. It happen every five to
26:01
Speaker 1: ten years. There's something like this, like, I don't think
26:04
Speaker 1: we've gone as an adult. I don't think even when
26:06
Speaker 1: I was in high school, the La riots happened. When
26:09
Speaker 1: I was in high school, there was a Rodney King thing.
26:12
Speaker 1: The riots happened there, and it pretty much every five
26:16
Speaker 1: probably not even every five to ten years, probably sooner,
26:19
Speaker 1: in less time than that. There's always something whack that
26:22
Speaker 1: goes around.
26:23
Speaker 7: It's nuts, but you can be totally isolated from it
26:26
Speaker 7: if you live in one of the suburbs and have
26:28
Speaker 7: no reason to travel down there. Like the Rodney King
26:31
Speaker 7: things a good example. That trial happened in my hometown.
26:36
Speaker 7: That's where they you know, found them, you know, and
26:40
Speaker 7: yet the riots happened thirty five miles away in oh La.
26:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, but I was in high school. I
26:47
Speaker 1: remember watching the parade of tanks coming up from Camp
26:51
Speaker 1: Pendleton alive Orange County at the time, and I remember
26:54
Speaker 1: seeing that. But like tonight, I usually to get to
26:57
Speaker 1: the studio from the Malor mansion, I have to go
26:59
Speaker 1: on the one oh one in downtown Los Angeles, which
27:02
Speaker 1: is currently closed because they burned a cop car and
27:05
Speaker 1: a bunch of other stuff and they were throwing crap
27:07
Speaker 1: on the on the They actually closed that. That's like
27:10
Speaker 1: the third time in the last couple of years they've
27:11
Speaker 1: closed that part of the highway. Yeah, this is a
27:14
Speaker 1: wild How do you you imagine me the first person
27:18
Speaker 1: that walks on our freeway and says, all right, I'm
27:20
Speaker 1: gonna stop the trust suicide mission? Wild? But it goes on.
27:23
Speaker 1: I take one for the team. Yeah, I'm good. All right,
27:26
Speaker 1: let's go to the phones. Though he didn't tune in
27:28
Speaker 1: for that. You want to hear about sports. It's all
27:30
Speaker 1: about sports. Let's say hello to Holiday. I've heard from
27:33
Speaker 1: him in a while. He's in LA. What's going on, Holiday, Welcome.
27:38
Speaker 3: What's going on?
27:39
Speaker 1: Man, it's been a minute, Holiday, It's been a minute.
27:43
Speaker 1: Welcome back.
27:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me feel you in, Ben Man. This moment
27:48
Speaker 3: means a lot to me to be able to talk
27:50
Speaker 3: to you again because on January thirteenth of this year. Man,
27:54
Speaker 3: I had a heart attack.
27:55
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh Holiday, that's terrible.
27:58
Speaker 3: Man. I die twice in less than twenty four hours. Man,
28:02
Speaker 3: they had to bring me back.
28:03
Speaker 1: Really, you've gone, You've gone to that, You've gone to
28:06
Speaker 1: the other side, and you've made it back.
28:08
Speaker 7: Stop it.
28:09
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm not lying. Check my files.
28:12
Speaker 1: Wow. So well you I mean, you don't have to
28:15
Speaker 1: tell the whole story if you don't want to. But
28:16
Speaker 1: that's pretty wild. That's uh. I'm glad you're still with us. Holiday.
28:20
Speaker 1: It's good to be able to talk to you. I
28:21
Speaker 1: wondered what happened, man, but it's good to talk to you.
28:24
Speaker 3: You are absolutely right, man. I actually lost a lot
28:27
Speaker 3: of money betting the theory of what you're talking about.
28:31
Speaker 3: I was telling my wife that I was betting for
28:34
Speaker 3: New York because I'm like, there's no way the NBA
28:38
Speaker 3: can sustain after they're losing ratings already on finals with
28:43
Speaker 3: Indiana and Okay, see like this they I mean, they
28:46
Speaker 3: might not win, but at least they'll have the large market.
28:49
Speaker 3: And I literally bet that. So you I'm right with
28:52
Speaker 3: you on that, man.
28:54
Speaker 1: My condolence is on the money that you lost on
28:56
Speaker 1: that and uh, yet it is it's very odd. And
28:59
Speaker 1: you know you're I don't know how I think you're
29:00
Speaker 1: around my age, but our entire lives. This has never happened.
29:03
Speaker 1: This is this is unsharded territory for the NBA. And
29:07
Speaker 1: and Adam Silver was trying to talk it off the
29:09
Speaker 1: commission and you get I mean's the commission. He said, Oh,
29:11
Speaker 1: people are gonna watch. It's good basketball. You know, people
29:13
Speaker 1: gonna tune in because they love basketball. Well, so far
29:16
Speaker 1: they haven't tuned in. We'll see what the ratings are
29:17
Speaker 1: for a game too. I can't imagine they're very good.
29:20
Speaker 1: I don't work for the NBA, so it's not my problem.
29:21
Speaker 1: Is their problem. I'm just observing it. And it doesn't
29:24
Speaker 1: appear that's gonna be much better.
29:27
Speaker 3: I understand.
29:28
Speaker 5: Man.
29:28
Speaker 1: I all right, well, you take care of you, so
29:33
Speaker 1: take it easy. Holiday, okay, man, we love you. We'll
29:35
Speaker 1: be good. Okay, and uh you know, come come see
29:38
Speaker 1: us sometimes. Right, all right, we'll do all right, buddy,
29:41
Speaker 1: the great hot Look at that talking to a man
29:43
Speaker 1: who crossed over twice died. So I guess if you
29:50
Speaker 1: died twice, then you're probably not work because you've already
29:54
Speaker 1: done it a couple of times. So the third time,
29:55
Speaker 1: you're not that is was worried, right because you've already
29:58
Speaker 1: you know, you've done it twice and yeah, exactly interesting
30:03
Speaker 1: all right? Anyway, well let's see here, page Dan, I
30:06
Speaker 1: don't read that one on the air one more times.
30:08
Speaker 1: He's a cat. Yeah, yeah, maybe he is a cat.
30:13
Speaker 1: Who knows. Let's see here. Steve says, hearing that intro
30:18
Speaker 1: song makes me think of Jonas singing Demoncia. Okay, I
30:23
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what that's all about. Loss
30:25
Speaker 1: and rights, since says man, I missed the game tonight's
30:27
Speaker 1: I was busy watching the Dale Earnhardt documentary on Amazon Prime.
30:32
Speaker 1: How is that? I haven't watched that. I have not
30:36
Speaker 1: seen much lately, the documentary stuff not not that great.
30:41
Speaker 1: Mark the underrated unsung Mark the full name name guy
30:45
Speaker 1: falsely accused of making death threats to Ben Maller, who
30:49
Speaker 1: lied and slandered Mark for the ratings. Yes, yes, all,
30:53
Speaker 1: my career here is dedicated to you because you're such
30:56
Speaker 1: a famous caller, Mark the full name Guy. Of course, clearly,
31:01
Speaker 1: when I believe Mark, your term was justifiable homicide. That
31:05
Speaker 1: was what you said something would happened to me. I
31:07
Speaker 1: believe you said justifiable homicide, and I quoted you for
31:10
Speaker 1: saying that, and you seem to get upset. I don't
31:12
Speaker 1: know why you would get upset. That's not my term.
31:14
Speaker 1: I didn't come up with that term. You came up
31:15
Speaker 1: with that term. It wasn't my term. That was your term.
31:19
Speaker 1: So the NBA very reactionary to social media, the power
31:23
Speaker 1: of the people, the power of the people on social media.
31:25
Speaker 1: So a bunch of people complained after Game one, the
31:28
Speaker 1: basketball hard ohs are like, what the hell, it's the
31:31
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. It felt like a regular season game in
31:34
Speaker 1: December on a random Wednesday night where no, there was
31:39
Speaker 1: no juice, no buzz. Right, made a big deal about it,
31:44
Speaker 1: and so one of the things people but is that
31:46
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. There was no logo for the Finals.
31:49
Speaker 1: This has been something that has been there it seems
31:51
Speaker 1: like forever, where they either have the word finals on
31:54
Speaker 1: the court or they have the trophy. And people were
31:57
Speaker 1: complaining about this that there was no aura, right, there
32:00
Speaker 1: was no wow factor. They had just felt bland like
32:04
Speaker 1: the NBA did not go to the normal lengths that
32:07
Speaker 1: they go to to promote the NBA Finals, so Abra
32:11
Speaker 1: cadabra hocus pocused power to the people. The people complained
32:16
Speaker 1: and ABC ESPN suddenly had a trophy on the court. However,
32:24
Speaker 1: they even f that up. I don't know how you
32:28
Speaker 1: excuse it, but they screwed it up. It turns out
32:32
Speaker 1: they put the logo, but it wasn't a sticker like
32:34
Speaker 1: they usually put on the court. The iconic Larry O'Brien
32:37
Speaker 1: trophy logo returned for Game two after the backlash, However,
32:41
Speaker 1: it was a digitally imposed graphic on the court the laro. Yeah,
32:47
Speaker 1: they put a graphic on the court, and it was
32:51
Speaker 1: a tremendous disappointment. It was just terrible. And is that
32:56
Speaker 1: because they could not get their hands and those stickers.
32:58
Speaker 1: I guess it takes a couple days to make the stickers.
32:59
Speaker 1: But the game was on Thursday. They could have had
33:01
Speaker 1: a made Friday. Put a rush order. They the NBA
33:05
Speaker 1: and so people were ripping the fact that now they
33:08
Speaker 1: had the trophy, but it was like a rinky dink
33:11
Speaker 1: super imposed Larry O'Brien trophy on the broadcast, as opposed
33:17
Speaker 1: to those iconic logos back when the Bulls were playing
33:20
Speaker 1: in the nineties or even the Lakers and the two
33:22
Speaker 1: thousands when they had those great finals logos and he's
33:25
Speaker 1: just like, you need doing anyway. Yeah, I thought that
33:29
Speaker 1: was that was amusing, and I'd love to know that
33:32
Speaker 1: how that happened, Like did the league call ABC and say, hey,
33:36
Speaker 1: numb nuts put the logo there, and then they said, well,
33:38
Speaker 1: we can't get the sticker in time. We'll do something.
33:41
Speaker 1: All right, we'll put the graphic up. Nobody'll notice, nobody
33:44
Speaker 1: will complain. They put the graphic up, and how'd that go? Yeah?
33:48
Speaker 1: Not not particularly good. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
33:51
Speaker 1: We were working away through the overnight hours. Let's say
33:55
Speaker 1: hello to blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan. Hello, blind Emmett.
34:00
Speaker 8: Happy Monday, Big Ben Man.
34:01
Speaker 1: Happy Monday to you. Happy Monday to you. And a
34:06
Speaker 1: million days to go till the weekend.
34:08
Speaker 8: Yeah, there we go. I just want to say, and
34:12
Speaker 8: I'm really glad that one of the people tweeted into
34:14
Speaker 8: the show brought uh the scheduling in the NBA Finals,
34:17
Speaker 8: because the way they're doing it is so weird because
34:20
Speaker 8: you have today obviously, and then you have a game
34:21
Speaker 8: on Wednesday, which makes sense, I guess because they are
34:23
Speaker 8: traveling from Oklahoma to Indiana, which isn't that far, but
34:27
Speaker 8: I mean they've done that traditionally, right, So they play
34:29
Speaker 8: another game on Friday, and then they pivot to where
34:32
Speaker 8: there's not a game until Monday. What the hell are
34:34
Speaker 8: you guys thinking not having a game on like a Sunday.
34:36
Speaker 1: Well, Emmy, you know, these players complain about everything. They
34:40
Speaker 1: complain about having to play too often, and now they're
34:42
Speaker 1: going to complain about having to play with too much
34:44
Speaker 1: time between games. Whatever they do, they complain. The players
34:47
Speaker 1: bitch about everything. So they were complaining. Who was it
34:50
Speaker 1: from the Nuggets? I forget some guy in the Nuggets
34:52
Speaker 1: was like, we did a monologue about it, but it's
34:53
Speaker 1: oh man, we the NBA Finals and the playoffs would be better.
34:56
Speaker 1: I think you said the playus the playoff would better
34:58
Speaker 1: if we had more time off between games. Okay, so okay,
35:01
Speaker 1: we'll have more time up. We had a bunch of
35:03
Speaker 1: time off between game one and game two. The game
35:04
Speaker 1: sucked game so weird, Yeah, it was.
35:08
Speaker 8: It was. It was just different because I think even
35:10
Speaker 8: last year, and you know, I could be completely wrong,
35:12
Speaker 8: but they did not feel like this long. But Haliburton
35:14
Speaker 8: that man needs to do better, and I know that
35:16
Speaker 8: he's like got it in him. We've seen it all playoffs.
35:19
Speaker 8: But the real truth about this is that thunder defense
35:21
Speaker 8: is incredible and he hasn't not played anything even remotely
35:24
Speaker 8: close to being as good as that Thunder defense. I mean,
35:26
Speaker 8: look at the Knicks. I mean they were a defensive liability.
35:29
Speaker 8: They had to, you know, change that lineup to put
35:31
Speaker 8: Mitchell Robinson and you know, get Mikuel Bridges more minutes
35:33
Speaker 8: because nobody can start Jalen Brunson cat defensive liabilities and
35:38
Speaker 8: now he's seeing like a real defense in the lou
35:40
Speaker 8: door and you know Alex Cruzo, you know Jay Dubb.
35:44
Speaker 8: All those guys can play the defense super well.
35:46
Speaker 1: So well, they can't play they can't play defense. But
35:49
Speaker 1: let's not pretend like they're walking around handcuffing the pacer players. Okay,
35:53
Speaker 1: there was a lot of this was self inflused, self
35:55
Speaker 1: infused situation.
35:57
Speaker 8: Every two minutes they were they were doing something good.
35:59
Speaker 8: It was wild. But I think Aliburton, like the fact
36:02
Speaker 8: that he was was like twelve points in the fourth quarter.
36:05
Speaker 8: If you were to scored like any more than that,
36:08
Speaker 8: it could have been a little bit better. He was
36:09
Speaker 8: playing absolutely terrible. It seemed like he was scared. And
36:12
Speaker 8: I think he you know, Wednesday, I do think he
36:14
Speaker 8: is going to have, you know, a little bit of
36:15
Speaker 8: a bounce back game. You go to Indiana, it's going
36:17
Speaker 8: to be very loud there. You know, as a blind guy,
36:20
Speaker 8: I'm very you know.
36:20
Speaker 1: You're into the sound thing. And I know because I was.
36:23
Speaker 1: I was there before, you were alive out of THINKMT
36:25
Speaker 1: when they played in the finals before. And they will
36:26
Speaker 1: pump in crowd noise in Indianapolis, so they will make
36:29
Speaker 1: it even louder. They will make it extremely right out here.
36:32
Speaker 8: Thing you could hear, you know, communication of Tyres to
36:34
Speaker 8: you know, Andrewnmore or Shade jw you that's crazy. And
36:38
Speaker 8: they called okay see wild City. And I will not
36:40
Speaker 8: be surprised if Indiana is louder just because they got
36:42
Speaker 8: a chip.
36:42
Speaker 1: On the shoulder. Well, see, it'll be loud there. It
36:44
Speaker 1: was loud when the you know, years ago. I'm sure
36:46
Speaker 1: it's going to be loud now. I thank you, go away.
