0:00
Speaker 1: This is Moser, Lombardy and Caine on demand. Listen live
0:05
Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
0:08
Speaker 1: Radio ninety two five and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
0:18
Speaker 2: What a Night Tonight, we have our first playoff double Deperoux.
0:23
Speaker 2: We have a triple Diperou. If you want to include
0:25
Speaker 2: the NFL draft, you have a quad. You have a
0:28
Speaker 2: quad Dreux. I don't know what you call that quad Deperoux.
0:32
Speaker 2: If you want to involve the Rockies in that discussion
0:34
Speaker 2: as well, what about an al Jeroux?
0:40
Speaker 3: His name's al Jerou. I knew it. I just knew.
0:47
Speaker 3: The first thing out of his mouth today was gonna
0:49
Speaker 3: set me off because I'm tired in La. I'm sorry.
0:52
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something I still remember and I
0:55
Speaker 2: can't get it out of my head now, And damn
0:56
Speaker 2: you for making this happen.
0:58
Speaker 3: Vic.
0:58
Speaker 2: Every time I see Tea J. Rumfield up the bat,
1:01
Speaker 2: I think of his father, Donald Rumsfeld.
1:06
Speaker 3: Every time.
1:08
Speaker 2: So anyway that comes to mind.
1:11
Speaker 3: What is what is al Jero's best song? I'm trying
1:14
Speaker 3: to think of it. What's his best song? Well, he
1:18
Speaker 3: did a lot of good stuff.
1:20
Speaker 2: So I want to start with the nuggets because I
1:22
Speaker 2: heard a couple of the responses to uh, the Jaden
1:25
Speaker 2: McDaniels comments, which I'll give you all of this again.
1:28
Speaker 2: I know you guys have heard it, but just a
1:30
Speaker 2: refresher go.
1:30
Speaker 4: Out, Jamal, all the bad defenders, Tim Hardaway, Cam Johnson,
1:37
Speaker 4: Aaron Gordon, the whole team. I just go at him. Yeah,
1:42
Speaker 4: they're all bad defenders. They don't got people that could
1:44
Speaker 4: defend the ram. And if he is there, we're still
1:48
Speaker 4: more athletic than him and just just got to be
1:50
Speaker 4: able to finish when we do so.
1:51
Speaker 2: I do think this is important because when somebody calls
1:55
Speaker 2: you out like that, they aren't calling out out if
2:00
Speaker 2: I said, now he's a bad shooter or he's uh,
2:05
Speaker 2: he's a bad rebounder or something like that. Being called
2:08
Speaker 2: out this way feels like the translation is he called
2:11
Speaker 2: you soft. That's what happened, and that's that's a personal thing,
2:15
Speaker 2: that's not a skill or talent thing.
2:16
Speaker 5: For the remainder of my life. And I don't know
2:19
Speaker 5: how long that will go here. All right, Well, we've
2:22
Speaker 5: established your well past mid yes, but the remainder of
2:25
Speaker 5: my life, I will not understand why that person said
2:31
Speaker 5: what he said when he said it, and everybody online
2:34
Speaker 5: who tries to come back and say, oh, you know,
2:38
Speaker 5: he's not wrong, or it's not that big a deal,
2:41
Speaker 5: or you're looking too deeply into.
2:43
Speaker 3: This, or.
2:45
Speaker 5: I know for a fact his bosses, his people in
2:49
Speaker 5: Minnesota are very very upset with him. Yeah, very very
2:54
Speaker 5: upset that he said what he said. Forget that though,
2:56
Speaker 5: that's their problem. But when you're trying to tell tell
3:00
Speaker 5: me that those comments are normal, that those comments are
3:04
Speaker 5: it's just playoffs again. I still can't believe he said
3:08
Speaker 5: what he said into an open microphone.
3:10
Speaker 2: Mosure, Mo, where do you stand on this?
3:15
Speaker 3: I'm completely with you it even if you think it,
3:19
Speaker 3: even even let's say it was true, even if you
3:22
Speaker 3: know what you don't say it not. At this point,
3:26
Speaker 3: you know what.
3:28
Speaker 6: This is it?
3:29
Speaker 5: This is like this would be like Devanta's after the
3:32
Speaker 5: second game against the King saying they're a terrible offensive team.
3:36
Speaker 5: We you know they can't execute. They just all they
3:39
Speaker 5: do is dumpy. They can't do anything offensively. We know
3:42
Speaker 5: that what would that lend anything to the Abs? By
3:47
Speaker 5: saying what would that do? If you say would.
3:50
Speaker 3: There's no there's no help or benefit to your team.
3:53
Speaker 3: Whatsot stupid? Are you to speak those words?
3:57
Speaker 2: Well, I was waiting for the I was waiting for
4:00
Speaker 2: the response of the nights because they're all going to
4:02
Speaker 2: get asked this question. Here's Adammans.
4:04
Speaker 3: But what will your thoughts on in Jade McDaniel's comments
4:07
Speaker 3: about your team's defense? I can't wait for his podcast? Well, well,
4:12
Speaker 3: the bulletin board material does that work at this point
4:15
Speaker 3: where Christians said if you need extra motivation in the playoffs?
4:17
Speaker 3: But does it?
4:18
Speaker 2: Can't it work some?
4:20
Speaker 7: I don't know, not for me. I think narrative is
4:23
Speaker 7: really interesting too. You hear so many things and we've
4:27
Speaker 7: gotten really lazy in society, like I don't what's our
4:30
Speaker 7: defense a rating in this series through two games? How
4:35
Speaker 7: is that six? Best in the playoffs?
4:40
Speaker 3: Okay?
4:41
Speaker 2: Next, Okay, So there's something I liked about that answer,
4:45
Speaker 2: which is the beginning when he said I can't wait
4:47
Speaker 2: for his podcast, which is funny. That is a good response.
4:50
Speaker 2: But to use a two game sample as your defense
4:53
Speaker 2: being good, I think is a little weird, to be fair. Yeah,
4:56
Speaker 2: we're talking about the season, and this season the defense
4:59
Speaker 2: is awful. Yes that I will acknowledge that, and I
5:03
Speaker 2: will go counter to what coach Avelman just said, there,
5:06
Speaker 2: your defense is awful. It's not a championship defense.
5:09
Speaker 3: We know this.
5:10
Speaker 2: It's got to be fixed.
5:12
Speaker 5: If you want to win an NBA crown, if you
5:14
Speaker 5: want to rally in this series, in these playoffs, you have.
5:17
Speaker 3: To fix that. That's the truth.
5:19
Speaker 2: Well, and that's why I liked what Adaman said because
5:21
Speaker 2: at least he had a little bit of bite to
5:23
Speaker 2: his answer. I heard Aaron Gordon post game being asked
5:27
Speaker 2: about it. He said, I don't care. This is Cam
5:29
Speaker 2: Johnson being asked about it, and Cam whatsy reaction to
5:31
Speaker 2: Jade McDaniel's comments and calling guys out, including yourself by name,
5:34
Speaker 2: about his defense.
5:35
Speaker 3: I'm not buying those answers, period entertaining it.
5:40
Speaker 8: But can it be bulletin board material at this point?
5:42
Speaker 6: Sure?
5:43
Speaker 3: Sure, but I'm entertaining those nies.
5:46
Speaker 2: I just want I don't like the response of I
5:49
Speaker 2: don't care. I want you to care. I'll go back
5:52
Speaker 2: to this. During COVID, there was something that happened, something
5:55
Speaker 2: that dropped on television that kind of everybody was talking about.
5:59
Speaker 2: What was Do you guys remember we're all off no
6:03
Speaker 2: slash fans the last dance, It was a ten episode
6:06
Speaker 2: documentary surrounding One Thing. Michael Jordan took that personally right, Yes,
6:11
Speaker 2: it's all that thing was like whatever happened, he was
6:14
Speaker 2: just like, I took it personal every I don't want
6:17
Speaker 2: to hear. I don't care. I want you to care.
6:19
Speaker 2: I want you to care that you just called you
6:20
Speaker 2: got called soft.
6:22
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think if you do. I think
6:24
Speaker 3: he does care. He's not trying to be they don't
6:26
Speaker 3: want to.
6:27
Speaker 6: Yeah.
6:27
Speaker 5: What what the Nuggets are being careful with right now?
6:30
Speaker 5: Is okay they got something landed right in their lap.
6:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll use his motivation. They don't want to lob one.
6:35
Speaker 3: I get it.
6:36
Speaker 5: That's all that is. I guess all that they don't
6:38
Speaker 5: want to give them something. Oh yeah, our defense sucks,
6:41
Speaker 5: but you're got You guys are really dumb, you know,
6:46
Speaker 5: And to be honest with you, that's if if I
6:49
Speaker 5: were to lob something back in Minnesota, that's.
6:51
Speaker 2: What I would lob. You're stupid.
6:53
Speaker 3: You guys are stupid. Yeah, but you know what, at
6:56
Speaker 3: least we didn't pick up a human helipad off a
6:58
Speaker 3: buyout contract. H Kyle and Forehead.
7:06
Speaker 5: That's what they're trying to avoid, don't you please me.
7:11
Speaker 3: It's my thing.
7:12
Speaker 5: It just didn't make No. Nobody understood what you said.
7:16
Speaker 5: Here's the deal. You don't want to counter what they've
7:20
Speaker 5: already done.
7:20
Speaker 3: I get in it.
7:23
Speaker 2: Uh and I just look. I think the response tonight
7:26
Speaker 2: is gonna be interesting. If they get called out this way, guys,
7:30
Speaker 2: and then lose, I don't know where you go from there.
7:35
Speaker 2: You get called out like this, and let's say you
7:37
Speaker 2: don't play any better on defense, you lose Game three
7:40
Speaker 2: in Minnesota, Like, I don't. I don't know what else
7:42
Speaker 2: to think now about the team, Like we've had sort
7:45
Speaker 2: of these fears all year long, these these sort of
7:48
Speaker 2: trends that we've seen at times that are concerning, but
7:51
Speaker 2: then they kind of flip them around sometimes. I really
7:55
Speaker 2: think this is a game where you're gonna see exactly
7:59
Speaker 2: what kind of team you have you are.
8:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I'm reading a lot of stuff right now,
8:03
Speaker 5: even on a twitch feed.
8:04
Speaker 3: What if the Nuggets overthinking? What if they start switching
8:07
Speaker 3: too much?
8:07
Speaker 2: What if they do this?
8:08
Speaker 5: What if they do guys, gals, listen, at the end
8:11
Speaker 5: of the day, it's basketball, that's all it is.
8:13
Speaker 3: It's basketball.
8:14
Speaker 5: You're not gonna suddenly start doing things completely out of
8:17
Speaker 5: the norm because some dude questioned your defense as you're
8:21
Speaker 5: not going to You're not gonna try some new interplanetary
8:25
Speaker 5: move that's never been seen before. Let's get into a
8:28
Speaker 5: karate kid stance, because he's none of that's happening.
8:31
Speaker 2: Okay, none of that.
8:33
Speaker 5: The only thing that may happen tonight. You're gonna dig
8:37
Speaker 5: a little deeper on the defensive end.
8:39
Speaker 3: That's it.
8:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
8:41
Speaker 5: And when somebody sits in front of Jaden McDaniels tonight
8:44
Speaker 5: and they see Jama McGann, maybe they approach that a
8:47
Speaker 5: little differently. But just to assume that you're gonna see
8:50
Speaker 5: some wild changes, that's not They're too deep into this.
8:55
Speaker 3: I mean.
8:57
Speaker 2: Insaying this all year's part the reason why I just
9:00
Speaker 2: think the defense is what it is. We've now played
9:06
Speaker 2: eighty four games this season. There's no more aces up
9:11
Speaker 2: your sleeve. Okay, your team is what it is. Whatever
9:14
Speaker 2: you got on the floors, what you got and is
9:16
Speaker 2: what we've seen over the course of months. You don't
9:19
Speaker 2: have some special trick you're pulling out of the bag.
9:21
Speaker 2: You don't got any of those. Line it up, and
9:24
Speaker 2: then it becomes how much do you want it, and
9:26
Speaker 2: I really think against a team like Minnesota, that part
9:29
Speaker 2: of it matters. It really does.
9:31
Speaker 3: Did Divico full space jam with that? There's not some
9:35
Speaker 3: sort of interplanetary defense that you're going to come up with.
9:38
Speaker 3: Is that what he did? Okay? I like that. I
9:43
Speaker 3: do like that. That's a great that's a great.
9:45
Speaker 2: Point to find some monstars pretty much. There's Look, there's
9:50
Speaker 2: no secrets out there at this point. At this point,
9:53
Speaker 2: you go play and you inflict your will and you
9:56
Speaker 2: win the dang game. By the way, the Nuggets are
9:58
Speaker 2: a favorite tonight.
9:59
Speaker 3: Did you see that.
10:00
Speaker 2: They're the better basketball team?
10:02
Speaker 3: Agreed? They are.
10:05
Speaker 2: It's just a matter of you know, Game two was
10:09
Speaker 2: just weird because it felt like vic we turned a
10:12
Speaker 2: corner in late game production offensively, and it kind of
10:17
Speaker 2: reverted to what we saw maybe earlier in the season,
10:19
Speaker 2: where they weren't executing in clunch clutch time, crunch time
10:25
Speaker 2: the way that they have lately at the end of
10:28
Speaker 2: the year. And so maybe you call that a one off,
10:33
Speaker 2: but these games are going to be close against Minnesota,
10:35
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to execute late. I just hope that
10:38
Speaker 2: they come out and if you can take one against Minnesota,
10:40
Speaker 2: because let me tell you this much, we know how
10:43
Speaker 2: how much of a front running team the Tea Wolves are.
10:46
Speaker 2: What do you think Anthony Edwards press conference is going
10:49
Speaker 2: to sound like if they win tonight? I mean, he's
10:51
Speaker 2: gonna sound like he just wrapped up an MVP. Did
10:54
Speaker 2: you guys hear what he did after Game two? By
10:56
Speaker 2: the way, he's up there in a bro tank and
11:00
Speaker 2: and he's dropping I think fifteen curse words in thirty seconds.
11:04
Speaker 2: It was crazy. But that's how that team is, and
11:07
Speaker 2: that's what makes them so detestable.
11:10
Speaker 5: I would love nothing more than to see his postgame
11:13
Speaker 5: press conference when they lose a fourth game in this series.
11:16
Speaker 2: I know, just see that one. So that game is
11:20
Speaker 2: going to be on ninety two five tonight. The Aves
11:22
Speaker 2: will be on AM nine to fifty. We'll get to
11:24
Speaker 2: the Avs in just a little bit and kind of
11:29
Speaker 2: what they can do to make the game feel different. Nelly,
11:32
Speaker 2: can you pull up the video I had in the
11:34
Speaker 2: appetizer cause moj just to set the table for this
11:38
Speaker 2: before the break. It feels to me that the Kings,
11:43
Speaker 2: who know they aren't as good as the Avs, it's
11:46
Speaker 2: why they're playing the style that they're playing against them,
11:48
Speaker 2: you have two options. If you are a team that
11:50
Speaker 2: is a big underdog, you can do what the Kings
11:54
Speaker 2: are doing right now, which if I related this to boxing,
11:57
Speaker 2: bell sounds, they're dancing all around the ring trying to
12:01
Speaker 2: avoid getting hit and just hoping they can hit you
12:03
Speaker 2: with one counter. Right, that's what they're doing. They're just
12:05
Speaker 2: playing the waiting game, waiting for an opportunity. You can
12:08
Speaker 2: do that, or you can do if you guys, remember
12:11
Speaker 2: what Peter McNeely did when he fought Tyson in his prime,
12:15
Speaker 2: where the bell sounds and you just go Leroy Jenkins
12:19
Speaker 2: and you sprint at him and just hope that you
12:21
Speaker 2: can catch him off guard. And I think that's what
12:23
Speaker 2: the Kings were trying to wrestle with was. I don't know,
12:27
Speaker 2: do we just go out and try and blitz them
12:29
Speaker 2: at their own game, or do we just dance around
12:32
Speaker 2: the ring.
12:32
Speaker 3: For this round?
12:33
Speaker 5: This didn't end well for Peter McNeeley.
12:36
Speaker 2: No, No, it's knocked out immediately. But it's like that's the
12:38
Speaker 2: only other strategy you got if you're an underdog, I
12:41
Speaker 2: can dance or I can just try and blitz. And
12:44
Speaker 2: in the case for McNeely, yeah, he's gonna go down
12:45
Speaker 2: here in about five seconds.
12:47
Speaker 3: But that's true. Yes, did McNeely land a couple? He
12:55
Speaker 3: landed a couple. Yeah.
12:56
Speaker 2: Well, if you saw the very beginning of the video,
12:58
Speaker 2: it's Tyson was like, what does this guy do?
13:00
Speaker 3: This is stupid? What ultimately happened this watch? Yep?
13:06
Speaker 2: That first on the mat yep. But that's the thing,
13:12
Speaker 2: and I really feel moje And we'll get to this
13:15
Speaker 2: in a second. Tonight's tonight. I think the As breakout
13:20
Speaker 2: and they put up like four or five, and this
13:22
Speaker 2: game isn't very close. It's only a matter of time.
13:25
Speaker 3: Well, they're so doe. I mean, you can play great defense.
13:30
Speaker 3: By the way McKinnon has had his chances. Guys, he's
13:33
Speaker 3: really close. His legs are moving. Marty Knatchez has been
13:37
Speaker 3: really close. He's hit the iron a couple of times.
13:40
Speaker 3: His legs are moving. It's only a matter of time.
13:44
Speaker 3: You can only hold the best players on the planet
13:47
Speaker 3: off the score sheet for so long. They're eventually going
13:51
Speaker 3: to break through. Bret Brett, it very well could be tonight,
13:53
Speaker 3: So very well could be.
13:55
Speaker 2: We'll get to it in just a second. Reminder to
13:57
Speaker 2: you guys that the Nuggets will be coming back home
14:00
Speaker 2: on Monday night for Game five against the Tea Wolves,
14:02
Speaker 2: And there's a ton of amazing stuff going on. So
14:05
Speaker 2: visit Nuggets dot com slash Playoffs from base camp fifty
14:09
Speaker 2: to eighty passes. That's the party. It's going on outside

Speaker 2: know during the playoffs. That's Nuggets dot Com slash Playoffs.
14:23
Speaker 5: Big turn of events last night in the NBA playoffs,
14:26
Speaker 5: so I want to talk about.
14:27
Speaker 2: We'll get to all that next. It's Avs game Day
14:29
Speaker 2: where the smiles on the eyes can take a beating.
14:32
Speaker 2: Keep yours looking its best with the Restorative Dentistry group.
14:36
Speaker 2: Get the smile you deserve, Denver, Smile again dot Com.
14:39
Speaker 2: That actually worked great with that music. nowI this is
14:44
Speaker 2: Vick's boy Algio.
14:47
Speaker 3: Love it.
14:48
Speaker 2: This is de Barge. So listen. Avs play tonight Game
14:53
Speaker 2: three motion. If they win this, I mean it already
14:55
Speaker 2: feels like this series is kind of over. But if
14:59
Speaker 2: they win tonight, it's over over because the Kings just
15:04
Speaker 2: aren't going to win four consecutive games against the Avs.
15:06
Speaker 2: So you asked ben Nard yesterday about what could make
15:11
Speaker 2: this team better. What can the Avs do to improve
15:15
Speaker 2: despite being two to zero in this series.
15:18
Speaker 6: He said, there was a few things that we talked
15:20
Speaker 6: about after Game one to get more dangerous offensively, and
15:26
Speaker 6: I saw flashes and stretches of it in game two
15:30
Speaker 6: that helped us create some chances. I think we can
15:33
Speaker 6: chip in a power play goal, like last night we
15:35
Speaker 6: nullified all our power plays. It's going to come down
15:38
Speaker 6: to execution, you know, shooting. How well do we shoot?
15:42
Speaker 6: Game one, we missed the net a lot. Game two,
15:45
Speaker 6: I think we got a little bit better that passed
15:47
Speaker 6: up on some shots like Marty's on the on the
15:50
Speaker 6: three on one, Like you just got to keep creating
15:53
Speaker 6: those looks and making good decisions.
15:55
Speaker 2: The expected goals for the Avs in the series is
15:58
Speaker 2: around ten is what they should have at this point,
16:01
Speaker 2: and they only have four. And that's why I think
16:03
Speaker 2: we're on the cusp of one sort of breakout game.
16:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, eventually, Fordsburg is going to have to surrender goals
16:12
Speaker 3: right eventually.
16:14
Speaker 2: And that's credit to him, by the way, Like I
16:17
Speaker 2: I'm not taking that away from him.
16:19
Speaker 3: Like Forg's been great completely there have been pucks there,
16:23
Speaker 3: and I said it during the game the other night.
16:26
Speaker 3: He's made saves, but he's coughed up rebounds. There have
16:29
Speaker 3: been pucks laying around him that you haven't gotten to
16:33
Speaker 3: where there's nobody in position to pound home a rebound.
16:36
Speaker 3: That sort of thing. And the Kings, if you watch
16:40
Speaker 3: their structure, I mean they do this vic They suck.
16:43
Speaker 3: They suck to their goalie like a black hole, like
16:46
Speaker 3: the goalie just sucks them in right, and they are
16:49
Speaker 3: I mean they don't. They don't want to allow any
16:51
Speaker 3: second chances because they know, I mean, they have to
16:54
Speaker 3: play that style. They know. But if you keep firing
16:58
Speaker 3: that puck, Brett, stop passing up on some of these shots,
17:01
Speaker 3: and you keep trying to bury that thing, you're gonna
17:04
Speaker 3: be okay, You're gonna solve them.
17:06
Speaker 5: Guys, everybody listening, I have to admit something. Can I
17:11
Speaker 5: admit something? Can I make an admission? I'm an easily
17:15
Speaker 5: distracted driver when it comes to playoff hockey in the avalanche,
17:18
Speaker 5: I'm a distracted driver. I want, I want to go
17:22
Speaker 5: all in on you guys breaking down the rest of
17:24
Speaker 5: this Kings AVS series. But I I freely admit I
17:29
Speaker 5: have one eye on the next round already sort of
17:32
Speaker 5: not I'm not all there with you. I'm already looking there.
17:38
Speaker 5: So that's where my focus is. Watching Dallas and Minnesota
17:42
Speaker 5: last night motion watching Minnesota rally for three straight goals
17:46
Speaker 5: to take a lead. I don't know which team you're
17:49
Speaker 5: better off playing. I mean Dallas. And in case you
17:52
Speaker 5: missed it, Dallas wins in double ot power play goal
17:56
Speaker 5: Wyatt Johnston, that guy's.
17:58
Speaker 2: He just makes the huge goals.
18:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, huge goals.
18:02
Speaker 5: So they rally, they were down in the third, they
18:05
Speaker 5: get the tying goal from Dushane. They send it to
18:08
Speaker 5: overtime and then double overtime, So Dallas wins if they
18:11
Speaker 5: lead that series two games to one.
18:13
Speaker 3: Did you see did you see how they got that
18:15
Speaker 3: power play in the double OT? I was in and
18:18
Speaker 3: out most the rookie threw it over the glass.
18:21
Speaker 5: Oh, I was gonna say, I told kan Or during
18:24
Speaker 5: the break, I said, I said, no way you get
18:26
Speaker 5: a power playing. They don't call anything in overtime, playoff overtime.
18:32
Speaker 3: I mean, you can amputate a guy, they're not gonna
18:34
Speaker 3: call it. But if you throw the punk over the glass,
18:37
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to call it.
18:38
Speaker 2: Now black and white.
18:40
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, so uh so the kid, the kid throws
18:43
Speaker 3: it over the glass. You realize, see now this is
18:46
Speaker 3: the difference, right, and coaches just talking about, you know,
18:48
Speaker 3: we can chip in with a power play goal that
18:50
Speaker 3: would help, well, yeah, would you gotta get I mean
18:53
Speaker 3: you must get that cranked up because Dallas last night,
18:55
Speaker 3: if there are four goals, three of them were power
18:58
Speaker 3: play goals, three of which is why I'm again it's
19:02
Speaker 3: about matchups. It's about this and that five on five.
19:05
Speaker 3: The Stars they're just not nearly as good as the
19:08
Speaker 3: Ablite's five on five, but on the power play they
19:10
Speaker 3: are deadly and we saw that last year in the
19:14
Speaker 3: first round. So who do you want? I don't know
19:16
Speaker 3: neither neither team is going to be able to or
19:19
Speaker 3: will be committed to defending as hard as the Kings
19:22
Speaker 3: are on the abs right now.
19:23
Speaker 5: And before you say, well worry about this round, no,
19:27
Speaker 5: I can't help myself human nature. I'm not worried.
19:31
Speaker 2: See what you you mentioned this like, I don't know
19:34
Speaker 2: who you'd rather play. Regardless of who you play, give
19:39
Speaker 2: me every game like that, give me that one. Do
19:41
Speaker 2: you know how long Merroe Hayskinen was on the ice
19:44
Speaker 2: last night forty three minutes.
19:48
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Quinn.
19:50
Speaker 2: Hughes was on the ice for forty three minutes and
19:53
Speaker 2: forty seven seconds. Wow, give me that. Just where are
19:58
Speaker 2: these guys whoever makes it past keep wearing each other
20:02
Speaker 2: out for round two? Please? Like, most ideally you get
20:06
Speaker 2: through here, you win tonight, and you win on Sunday,
20:09
Speaker 2: right Sunday the Avs two cool Sunday.
20:12
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Sunday, Sunday day.
20:15
Speaker 2: Win tonight, went on Sunday, and then kick your feet
20:17
Speaker 2: up and watch these guys go double lot every night. Please.
20:20
Speaker 3: Let's go back to twenty twenty two real quick, and
20:26
Speaker 3: it's twenty twenty. Yeah, the playoffs did come and the
20:28
Speaker 3: Avs won the Cup. But Game one the Avs beat
20:31
Speaker 3: up the Prins pretty good. Game two, Nashville took the
20:34
Speaker 3: Avalanche to overtime and it was Cale mccarr that scored
20:39
Speaker 3: the game winning goal. It was a two to one
20:41
Speaker 3: game in overtime. Game three, they go to Nashville and
20:44
Speaker 3: the Avs put seven on them. They just blew their
20:47
Speaker 3: doors off and it was over. It's almost like, you know,
20:51
Speaker 3: once you get to that point mentally and physically where
20:55
Speaker 3: you realize you can't e there's doubt in your own
20:58
Speaker 3: head if things just in the state playoffs. But they
21:00
Speaker 3: have a tendency just to fall apart and they're gone.
21:04
Speaker 3: So we'll see if the abs can inflict that will.
21:06
Speaker 3: I saw a breakdown of the game winning goal in
21:09
Speaker 3: overtime the other night. I thought it was very good,
21:11
Speaker 3: and the point was the Avalanche wore the Kings out,
21:15
Speaker 3: just wore them out and wore them down, and these
21:17
Speaker 3: guys couldn't move in time, they couldn't get to proper
21:21
Speaker 3: positions because they were on a shift that was a
21:23
Speaker 3: monster shift, like a minute and a half shift, and
21:25
Speaker 3: they're dead. And it's every little half second that creates
21:31
Speaker 3: a chance that normally wouldn't be there that ends up
21:33
Speaker 3: winning the game. So the Avs keep pushing. I mean,
21:37
Speaker 3: you can do it for you know, forty minutes, sixty minutes,
21:40
Speaker 3: but can you do it for sixty seven minutes? That's
21:42
Speaker 3: the question. Just keep pushing.
21:44
Speaker 2: The weird thing about the Kings, by the way, and
21:47
Speaker 2: we've mentioned this motion they're a team where they're pretty
21:50
Speaker 2: good on the road, they're terrible at home. They're awful.
21:55
Speaker 2: They're not good, and I don't know, I don't know
21:57
Speaker 2: why that is. I don't know how that is. They
21:59
Speaker 2: have the third least wins at home in the Western
22:02
Speaker 2: Conference over the course of the regular season. Is there
22:05
Speaker 2: any I don't know. If you talk to people, most
22:07
Speaker 2: do they have an answer for it with why they
22:09
Speaker 2: can struggle.
22:10
Speaker 3: They have no they have no idea, no clue. And
22:12
Speaker 3: the abs have The Apps tried a franchise record for
22:15
Speaker 3: road wins at twenty nine. Yeah, I mean, that's things.
22:19
Speaker 3: If you have the two series lead and things are
22:22
Speaker 3: now they're still shifting in your favor, you gotta feel
22:26
Speaker 3: pretty good, pretty dang good. But again, the Kings, when
22:29
Speaker 3: they score three goals, here's their here's their mo When
22:32
Speaker 3: they score three goals, they have four regulation losses all
22:36
Speaker 3: year long because they they're just so tight defensively. If
22:40
Speaker 3: you get three on them, they're they're not They're just
22:43
Speaker 3: not gonna be able to get the three that often. Yeah,
22:45
Speaker 3: you really aren't.
22:46
Speaker 2: That's the thing, like, if you put up three or
22:48
Speaker 2: four goals, it feels like it's just it's insurmountable for
22:51
Speaker 2: them to come back from, especially with the goaltending that
22:54
Speaker 2: you have, which again we asked set to bednark because
22:56
Speaker 2: I was wondering. He said a few weeks ago to
23:02
Speaker 2: us that the rotation between Wedgwood and Blackwood was the
23:06
Speaker 2: rhythm of their team, and he thinks you continue that
23:09
Speaker 2: going into the postseason. And then after Game one, I
23:12
Speaker 2: saw Wedgwood on a postgame interview with the TNT Boys.
23:16
Speaker 2: He said, use the exact same line. It's the rhythm
23:19
Speaker 2: of our team. When I asked about Mackenzie Blackwood, so
23:23
Speaker 2: I just wanted to reiterate. I was like, so, is
23:25
Speaker 2: that still kind of the plan. Wedgwood's played two games
23:28
Speaker 2: in a row. It feels like if this is the rotation,
23:31
Speaker 2: it would be a Blackwood night tonight. I didn't ask
23:34
Speaker 2: him specifically he was going to start, because he wasn't
23:36
Speaker 2: going to tell me. But I did ask him about it,
23:37
Speaker 2: and he said.
23:38
Speaker 6: This, you gotta kind of stick with what got here,
23:41
Speaker 6: but you also got to be flexible. You know, Reggie
23:44
Speaker 6: never played every second night for a long period of
23:47
Speaker 6: time in his life, you know. And it's not that
23:50
Speaker 6: he can't do it. But our team is one in
23:54
Speaker 6: the first place because of the way, partly because of
23:57
Speaker 6: the way we rotated our goalies, and and how did
24:00
Speaker 6: they Ben, it's a long road to get to where
24:03
Speaker 6: we want to go, and right now, like we're just
24:05
Speaker 6: playing well, and I like to stick with him if
24:08
Speaker 6: he has the juice to be able to do that.
24:10
Speaker 2: I that's a much different answer than the one we
24:13
Speaker 2: got in early April. And I think moj having four
24:18
Speaker 2: goals allowed in your last six starts probably does a
24:21
Speaker 2: lot for that. It's like, I'm not taking this guy
24:24
Speaker 2: off the ice. He's not allowing anything.
24:25
Speaker 3: Why would I? Yeah, again though, I mean, I'm sure
24:31
Speaker 3: he can handle it, but it's not his normal mo
24:34
Speaker 3: and his career. Okay, to play these three games in
24:37
Speaker 3: six nights. Now, if you're talking about having two days
24:40
Speaker 3: off like you will between tonight and Sunday, different story.
24:45
Speaker 3: But this is what you're talking you know, game day off,
24:48
Speaker 3: game day off game. So we'll see. I guess we'll see.
24:50
Speaker 3: I'll head over to the rink after we're done with
24:52
Speaker 3: the show.
24:54
Speaker 2: No, it's for him. Do you think about maybe giving
24:59
Speaker 2: Black one start than an extra two days and you
25:02
Speaker 2: give Wedgewood an extended rest and maybe you're like, hey,
25:06
Speaker 2: if I want to try something up to all against
25:08
Speaker 2: a team that we're likely going to beat anyway, maybe
25:10
Speaker 2: tonight's the night that I do it. I don't know.
25:12
Speaker 3: But but do you want to mess with anything that's
25:14
Speaker 3: going on right right right?
25:16
Speaker 2: I don't know.
25:18
Speaker 3: Let's say something.
25:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say this, Wedge would make huge saves for
25:23
Speaker 2: a huge If Blackwood just misses one of the saves
25:27
Speaker 2: that Wedgwood makes in one of the previous two games,
25:30
Speaker 2: this could be one to one right now, you know
25:32
Speaker 2: what I mean.
25:33
Speaker 3: But if you come out and stick him to a
25:35
Speaker 3: two to zero lead, how cool would that be?
25:37
Speaker 2: Yeah?
25:37
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. You haven't done that for
25:39
Speaker 3: Wedgie and then the effort that everybody feels good. It's
25:44
Speaker 3: it's why bed Nor's the coach and I'm sitting here
25:47
Speaker 3: in my hotel room stare at your faces.
25:48
Speaker 5: Not a big fan of the double dip ARU On
25:51
Speaker 5: a game like tonight, we have the Avs game in
25:53
Speaker 5: the Nuggets game, same evening, trying to keep track of
25:56
Speaker 5: both of them. I hate when they both play at
25:58
Speaker 5: the same time. It can't stand it, but it is
26:02
Speaker 5: what it is. Busy Night on Altitude TV will have
26:04
Speaker 5: pre and post for both games, so we'll be sharing
26:07
Speaker 5: that studio with Keefer and Johnny and company tonight is
26:12
Speaker 5: also Round one of the NFL Draft. Did you guys
26:17
Speaker 5: hear what Jay Glazer said?
26:20
Speaker 3: What he is saying?
26:22
Speaker 5: Jay Glazer says that tonight he's told by a reliable
26:26
Speaker 5: source of his that there's going to be some serious
26:29
Speaker 5: drama in the draft. And when he says drama, they
26:33
Speaker 5: trade big to do something. Something big will happen tonight.
26:38
Speaker 5: Now I don't know if he's just trying to attrack
26:39
Speaker 5: people to watch the thing. Normally you don't say that
26:43
Speaker 5: unless you know something's going down, and he's not allowed
26:46
Speaker 5: to talk about it yet.
26:47
Speaker 3: Now he's he's pretty adamant that there's going to be movements. Okay,
26:52
Speaker 3: something he quotes, something's going on.
26:54
Speaker 5: The reason I bring it up, he's got a lot
26:55
Speaker 5: of sources. Clearly, you don't make it to where you are,
26:58
Speaker 5: Jay Glazer without having a lot of reliable sources.
27:01
Speaker 3: In the league.
27:02
Speaker 5: Guys, which NFL coach is considered one of his best
27:07
Speaker 5: howls best friends worked with.
27:11
Speaker 2: Him, Sean Payton.
27:13
Speaker 5: Sean Payton, he spent like three days at Broncos camp
27:17
Speaker 5: this summer.
27:18
Speaker 3: He ate with the team.
27:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, he hung out, he worked out, Yeah.
27:22
Speaker 5: He worked out at the Broncos facility. He ate with
27:26
Speaker 5: the Broncos in the cafeteria.
27:28
Speaker 3: He literally was part of the team.
27:31
Speaker 2: There's also a guy who's friends with a whole bunch
27:33
Speaker 2: of people still on the Broncos. So, Kinsey, I keep
27:36
Speaker 2: waiting for the bombshell to drop because this man across
27:39
Speaker 2: from me over here keeps saying Denver is gonna make
27:41
Speaker 2: another big move, and I keep waiting.
27:43
Speaker 3: It might be the day. Oh yeah, it might be
27:47
Speaker 3: the Maybe they're just getting gun shy in Denver.
27:52
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, you don't believe still don't believe me.
27:55
Speaker 1: He still don't believe he's.
27:56
Speaker 3: Goodding the first way I do. And I'm dreading to happen.
28:00
Speaker 3: It might be on Draft Day.
28:03
Speaker 2: Okay, So it keep says this. Now it keep says
28:05
Speaker 2: Draft Day. There's three days, so I mean it could
28:12
Speaker 2: be any one of the three. I suppose.
28:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're talking first round, bro, you're talking, you're
28:16
Speaker 3: talking today.
28:17
Speaker 2: But Glazer says this, here's something else. If Glazer and
28:21
Speaker 2: there's been hints that there's a big trade coming. I'm
28:23
Speaker 2: not saying for the Broncos, but hintstead of something BIG's
28:26
Speaker 2: happening on Draft Day from multiple people. If they know
28:31
Speaker 2: that something's gonna happen. Does that mean that the NFL
28:35
Speaker 2: was aware of this potential huge trade and said, guys,
28:39
Speaker 2: save it for our television show. Is that what they did? Seriously,
28:43
Speaker 2: I think that's what they's there say.
28:45
Speaker 5: You know what, that's a very good point. Trades could
28:49
Speaker 5: already be done and they're just simply unveiling them on
28:53
Speaker 5: the night of.
28:53
Speaker 2: The draft, so they didn't have the big to do
28:56
Speaker 2: and they, you know what, chefter a on.
28:57
Speaker 3: They know what.
28:58
Speaker 5: I don't say this too often about you, because your
29:02
Speaker 5: television acumen usually is really poor. But I'm gonna look
29:06
Speaker 5: at you right now, look you right in that translucent face,
29:09
Speaker 5: and say to you.
29:10
Speaker 2: That is such a good point.
29:12
Speaker 3: Yeah.
29:12
Speaker 2: I think the NFL jedi hang on to this and
29:15
Speaker 2: let's make a.
29:16
Speaker 5: Big I wonder how many of these deals have been
29:20
Speaker 5: done over the years.
29:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, have been consummated, have been.
29:23
Speaker 5: Official, and the league office says, okay, well, rubber stamp it,
29:27
Speaker 5: but let's talk about it on the night of our
29:30
Speaker 5: big television show. Because that's what this is. At the
29:32
Speaker 5: end of the day. Everybody, the NFL Draft is a
29:35
Speaker 5: television show. They sell it out. Hell, kids in Pittsburgh
29:39
Speaker 5: aren't going to school so they could be part of
29:41
Speaker 5: the entertainment value.
29:43
Speaker 2: And you guys know this, I love that television show.
29:48
Speaker 2: Round one of the drafts is so much. I don't
29:51
Speaker 2: I love.
29:54
Speaker 5: It's going in terms of ratians tonight, it's going to
29:56
Speaker 5: kill anything that it goes up against. It's gonna kill
29:59
Speaker 5: any playoff game. Yeah, the ANHL playoff game. It's going
30:03
Speaker 5: to kill it. Because people can't get enough in the
30:06
Speaker 5: National Football League.
30:07
Speaker 2: That's a fact.
30:07
Speaker 3: Yeah. Watching McAfee yesterday, his entire show is that the
30:13
Speaker 3: draft schefter was on, Pete Schregger was on, all these
30:17
Speaker 3: guys were on, And I'm thinking, do they have a
30:20
Speaker 3: bunch of kids running around like child labor right now
30:22
Speaker 3: because the kids aren't in school, like fetching drinks and
30:25
Speaker 3: carrying cables. I'll tell you.
30:26
Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now if I was a kid,
30:28
Speaker 2: mad not carrying cables. But if they said can you
30:30
Speaker 2: help us do this and that? Can he set up
30:32
Speaker 2: some chairs for the draft? As a kid, I'd be like, yeah,
30:34
Speaker 2: I'd do it for sure. They got those kids in
30:36
Speaker 2: Buffalo that are shoveling snow out of the stadium on Sundays.
30:39
Speaker 2: I mean, is it that much different. Look, I've heard
30:44
Speaker 2: whoa whoa Texter said, you guys are hilarious for thinking
30:47
Speaker 2: the NFL can keep a secret. Bro, Jay Glazer, hold you,
30:51
Speaker 2: he goes, I know something's gonna happen. I can't tell
30:54
Speaker 2: you what it is. Where do you think that comes from?
30:57
Speaker 3: It comes from somebody big, It comes from somewhere. He
31:00
Speaker 3: wouldn't say it. He wouldn't see it if it wasn't.
31:02
Speaker 3: I mean, Jay Glazer wouldn't say it.
31:04
Speaker 2: They they have the schedule releases every year.
31:07
Speaker 6: Vic.
31:08
Speaker 2: Do you know about the Broncos schedule before they officially
31:10
Speaker 2: release it every year?
31:13
Speaker 3: I do.
31:14
Speaker 2: I was just saying, well, exactly, They're like, you need
31:17
Speaker 2: to keep this a secret. You don't want to get
31:19
Speaker 2: in trouble with the NFL if you're an especially if
31:21
Speaker 2: you're like a Glazer, you don't want to get in trouble.
31:23
Speaker 5: Sure, and that's how you know sources are protected. Listen,
31:27
Speaker 5: Jay and Sean are good friends. They're just not they're friends.
31:33
Speaker 2: They talk.
31:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're gonna protect your friend, like I know. I'll
31:37

33:34
Speaker 5: Can I make one reference to the text line? Sure,
33:37
Speaker 5: because I saw this too, and I know this guy's
33:39
Speaker 5: referencing Moser here, but I would like to say something
33:41
Speaker 5: about it. Texter nine to seven h Moser. Did you
33:43
Speaker 5: see Boldy dangled that last night setting up Eric Sinek
33:47
Speaker 5: for the second goal?
33:48
Speaker 2: Absolute filth.
33:49
Speaker 5: We were watching that during dinner and I'm looking at
33:52
Speaker 5: Boldie and you know, Boldi was the one of the
33:54
Speaker 5: heroes of the Olympics. This dude is something else, man.
33:59
Speaker 2: Yeah.
34:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, against the Abs, he seemed to make a play
34:02
Speaker 5: every single that that set up he made. He went
34:06
Speaker 5: through how many people motion people?
34:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's brilliant. He's a brilliant player, dude, I'm telling you.
34:12
Speaker 3: I mean, this is Minnesota for the longest time, has
34:17
Speaker 3: lacked that real top end, you know, top end guy.
34:22
Speaker 3: I think it's fair to say that Caroka Prisoff is
34:25
Speaker 3: probably the most talented player in the history of the team.
34:28
Speaker 3: It was Mary and Gabrick for a long time. But
34:32
Speaker 3: this Matt Boldie. Wow, you know he's a top twelve pick.
34:35
Speaker 3: He's yeah, he is. I mean, he's a really good player.
34:39
Speaker 3: He's a big kid, talented kid. He's gonna have a
34:42
Speaker 3: fantastic career. Yep, he really is.
34:45
Speaker 2: Sorry, Uh, well, you said earlier, Vic, did you wanted
34:48
Speaker 2: to talk about something in the NBA last week?
34:49
Speaker 3: I did.
34:50
Speaker 2: There's only two games and neither of them particularly close.
34:52
Speaker 3: So I did.
34:54
Speaker 5: Did you happen to watch MOJ Brett the Oklahoma City
34:57
Speaker 5: Phoenix game which was gonna end up? The result didn't
35:00
Speaker 5: change that Oklahomas that he's going to sweep that series.
35:02
Speaker 5: They're up two games to nothing. They won last night,
35:05
Speaker 5: won twenty one oh seven. But you know, there were
35:07
Speaker 5: some calls made the typical Oksey whistle after the game.
35:12
Speaker 5: Devin Booker ripped the officials. He's gonna get fined heavily, heavily.
35:15
Speaker 5: He basically called out the officials by name.
35:20
Speaker 6: He was. Yeah.
35:22
Speaker 5: During that game, Alex Caruso called the technical for the officials,
35:26
Speaker 5: literally said give him a tech and he did. So
35:29
Speaker 5: there's a lot of stuff behind the scenes going on,
35:31
Speaker 5: you know, the typical ocase stuff you get. But that's
35:34
Speaker 5: not my business right now. Our business is just getting
35:36
Speaker 5: through Minnesota. The result of that game, though, what's lost
35:40
Speaker 5: is if you look at the box score, Jalen Williams
35:43
Speaker 5: the good one. He had twenty two points in the
35:46
Speaker 5: first half. Yeah, left the game with another hamstring injury. Yeah,
35:50
Speaker 5: he's been bothered by hamstrings all year. He's done, Bro,
35:54
Speaker 5: he's done. He's done. Did not and they're they're saying,
35:58
Speaker 5: we'll see what happens. He's dude, he missed most of
36:02
Speaker 5: the season with hamstrings.
36:04
Speaker 3: What's with all these hammies? Dude, We're no strang. I
36:06
Speaker 3: was just gonna.
36:07
Speaker 2: I know, we're no strangers. No hammies, I know.
36:10
Speaker 5: And did you look at the Nuggets injury report for tonight?
36:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, AG was probable and Peyton Watson was out.
36:16
Speaker 5: Peyton Watson is still out with a hamstring and AG's dealing.
36:20
Speaker 3: With calf tightness.
36:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is going on? I don't know.
36:29
Speaker 5: Here's my question, Moser, do you remember in the eighties
36:34
Speaker 5: and nineties this many hamstring caf I'm trying to remember.
36:40
Speaker 5: I didn't know a hamstring. I didn't know what a
36:43
Speaker 5: hamstring was.
36:45
Speaker 3: Our guys training, I'm trying to figure it out, our
36:48
Speaker 3: guys over training. I don't know if there was such
36:50
Speaker 3: a thing, but I guess you can probably overwork a
36:54
Speaker 3: body part. But I don't recall, you know, guys missing.
36:57
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure it happened. I'm just losing perspect.
37:01
Speaker 2: It didn't happen like this.
37:02
Speaker 5: Hey, for those of you look like this that were
37:04
Speaker 5: around in the eighties and the nineties, please old people,
37:07
Speaker 5: All old fellow olds, please combine, unite fellow olds. Do
37:12
Speaker 5: you have a hamstring? Number one and number two? Do
37:15
Speaker 5: you remember this rash of hamstring injuries in the eighties
37:20
Speaker 5: and nineties basketball days?
37:21
Speaker 2: Because I don't, well, most guys in the NHL don't
37:26
Speaker 2: really have hamstring problems, do they. It's always like broken
37:29
Speaker 2: bones or something as why they're missing games.
37:32
Speaker 3: It's it's different. The motion is different.
37:35
Speaker 9: Well, the groins, groins, do you have groin those are
37:39
Speaker 9: the ones that razor if you gotta okay, okay, good Nick, Nelly, Steve,
37:46
Speaker 9: you were really late to put your hand up.
37:48
Speaker 3: That's okay though, yeah, okay, just think about it. But
37:51
Speaker 3: it's it's different clinic motion. Yeah, I'll get you taken
37:56
Speaker 3: care of. It's just different, you know, It's just they're
37:58
Speaker 3: they're different motions. That's here's my other thing. And I
38:02
Speaker 3: don't know where people are at on this. I don't
38:07
Speaker 3: even know how to approach it anymore because I watch
38:09
Speaker 3: OKAC and it's it is so frustrating still to see
38:14
Speaker 3: just a team get and I think.
38:16
Speaker 2: This is just I really think this is objectively true.
38:21
Speaker 2: And if OKC fans are for whatever reason, listening to
38:25
Speaker 2: this show, don't yell and scream about it. I think
38:30
Speaker 2: this is the case when ninety percent of an NBA
38:33
Speaker 2: viewership all comes to the same conclusion that they're just
38:36
Speaker 2: officiated differently than other teams. I don't know what to
38:39
Speaker 2: do with it, but but here's where I'm like stuck
38:43
Speaker 2: between this rock and hard place. It's frustrating and I
38:46
Speaker 2: watch SGA get calls. I watched him straight up throw
38:50
Speaker 2: a guy on a push off Colin Gillespie and make
38:53
Speaker 2: a shot with no call. And then I hear Devin
38:56
Speaker 2: Booker after the game say this.
38:58
Speaker 8: I heard Cruso tell him to call the tech and
39:01
Speaker 8: you know he ended up doing it.
39:03
Speaker 2: So that's one.
39:04
Speaker 8: Right about eleven years, I haven't called a rough out
39:06
Speaker 8: by name, but James was terrible tonight, through and through.
39:10
Speaker 8: It's bad for the sport, bad for the integrity of
39:13
Speaker 8: the sport. You know, people are going to start viewing
39:15
Speaker 8: this as a WWE. You know, if they're not ill responsible.
39:19
Speaker 3: Similar thing for you on the offensive, foul with carus.
39:21
Speaker 5: Or whatever it goes on down there, that will be
39:23
Speaker 5: a seventy five thousand dollars fine for sure.
39:26
Speaker 3: He called them out by name.
39:27
Speaker 2: Here's my question to those listening. I am one frustrated
39:31
Speaker 2: still with watching Okac games and seeing them officiated differently.
39:35
Speaker 2: And I'm also now entirely exhausted of people complaining.
39:39
Speaker 3: About I don't know, so I don't know what it is.
39:41
Speaker 3: There's nothing you can do.
39:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, I can't take every time Okac plays
39:45
Speaker 2: or somebody who goes to a podium in complaints every team.
39:47
Speaker 5: But it's every team, it's everything base, it's every team,
39:49
Speaker 5: it's it's it's a constant in life, it's a constant
39:52
Speaker 5: in this sport. They are the source of this. The
39:55
Speaker 5: only listen the SGA stuff. You're not going to get
39:57
Speaker 5: away from that. It's not going to change. That's the
39:59
Speaker 5: way he plays. It's the whistle that he's been given.
40:01
Speaker 5: It's not going to change. I would have called this
40:04
Speaker 5: is me speaking an offensive foul on that Gillespie thing.
40:07
Speaker 5: I actually tweeted it out. It's on my Twitter. What
40:09
Speaker 5: do you think this call is the reason I believe
40:11
Speaker 5: it's an offensive foul? Is he forced the contact? Now
40:16
Speaker 5: people are gonna say, well, Colin wasn't set. I don't
40:19
Speaker 5: care if you're not set. If you're here's what I
40:22
Speaker 5: can if you're playing rec league basketball, if you're in
40:25
Speaker 5: the gym, there's no refs.
40:26
Speaker 2: You blow the whistle.
40:27
Speaker 3: What are you calling there? You can't just push.
40:30
Speaker 2: You can't throw me to the ground, extension, extension.
40:35
Speaker 5: If I'm playing against somebody and he does that to me,
40:37
Speaker 5: I'm like, that's a foul.
40:38
Speaker 3: You can't just throw me.
40:41
Speaker 2: What are we doing?
40:41
Speaker 5: You can't throw me, that's a foul everything, So forget that.
40:45
Speaker 5: What bothers me about that game last night? Did you
40:49
Speaker 5: see the technical that Devin Booker was handed and why
40:53
Speaker 5: he's trying to save the ball from going out of
40:55
Speaker 5: bounds as.
40:55
Speaker 2: A whistle called. He's fouled by the.
40:57
Speaker 5: Other Jaylen Williams.
40:59
Speaker 2: He's trying to save the ball.
41:00
Speaker 5: As he's saving it, he throws it behind his back
41:04
Speaker 5: and it hits Jalen Williams in the shoulder.
41:08
Speaker 3: Alex Caruso sees that.
41:09
Speaker 5: And says, well, you can't be just throwing the ball
41:11
Speaker 5: at our and our player even though he didn't intend to.
41:14
Speaker 5: And he turns to the referee. Caruso does and signals, hey,
41:18
Speaker 5: gimme a t and.
41:19
Speaker 2: The referee did, Yeah.
41:22
Speaker 10: The referee, basically by orders of Alex Caruso, of all people,
41:27
Speaker 10: gave Devin Booker a t It was the most ridiculous
41:31
Speaker 10: sequence I can remember in a long time.
41:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, Devin Booker, it's gonna cost him seventy five grand
41:38
Speaker 5: had every right to be angry.
41:40
Speaker 3: Well, Vick, I think what what to me? The big
41:44
Speaker 3: story here is he's calling out the integrity of the league,
41:48
Speaker 3: and you heard it there at the very end of
41:50
Speaker 3: that of that sound bite. People are going to start
41:54
Speaker 3: viewing this as the WWE if they're not held responsible.
41:59
Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people already feel that way.
42:02
Speaker 3: I think a lot of already a lot of people
42:04
Speaker 3: already feel that. Man, the officiating at times can be
42:08
Speaker 3: a joke, especially against Shae I mean not against him,
42:11
Speaker 3: but when you're playing against see the whistle is so
42:15
Speaker 3: slanted one way that I think people already feel that way,
42:18
Speaker 3: and I think it hurts the It hurts the league
42:20
Speaker 3: big time, hurts the integrity. But you know what, is
42:23
Speaker 3: there anybody out there who's not a who's you know,
42:26
Speaker 3: okay see fans aside? Is there anybody out there who
42:28
Speaker 3: doesn't agree with Devin Booker this morning?
42:31
Speaker 2: No? I think most people do. But nothing's changed, and
42:34
Speaker 2: nothing will. I don't know how else to put it. Like,
42:38
Speaker 2: every time somebody does this at the podium, I always
42:41
Speaker 2: think to myself, do you think that OKAC will be
42:43
Speaker 2: officiated differently after you say this? And answer is no.
42:46
Speaker 5: So I'm like, why why do I hate Alex Crusa?
42:50
Speaker 5: He plays hard, he makes all the right plays. He's
42:54
Speaker 5: the consonant role player who lifts his game in the playoffs.
42:57
Speaker 5: If he played for the Nuggets, I would love him.
42:59
Speaker 5: I would idolize him because he's a pest.
43:02
Speaker 2: Because you know what.
43:03
Speaker 5: You hate what you want. Sometimes you hate what you want.
43:06
Speaker 5: There's two things to be true in life. One thing
43:08
Speaker 5: I said yesterday, you end up marrying somebody that looks
43:10
Speaker 5: like your father, and.
43:13
Speaker 3: You hate what you want.
43:15
Speaker 2: I want one of those.
43:16
Speaker 3: I do too. I want I want a Caruso. I
43:19
Speaker 3: want one.
43:21
Speaker 5: And that's why I hate him, because I want him.
43:23
Speaker 2: Well, we can break down more of this in just
43:25
Speaker 2: a second. Three oh three, five, oh four, oh nine
