• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Bouncy, bouncy bouncy. It's our number ber three. Our number
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: three is ready for me and more importantly, treadit for you.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: And it's all about the draft lottery, which was held
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: in Chicago on Monday night with much controversy. Buy or
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: sell the conspiracy theory that the NBA rigged the lottery
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to send Cooper Flag the Dallas as payback for the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Mavericks giving Luca to the Lakers. Also, what does the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: number one overall pick really mean in the context of
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: winning in the big picture? And do you find it
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: odd that the Mavericks owner Patrick DuMond was not paying
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: attention to the draft lottery. Yeah, he had to be
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: told that the team won the draft lottery. We'll get
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to that as well. All of it's coming your way
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: right now here. It is our number three in a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: King Pong kind of a mood. The one day year
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: we talk about Ping Pong. Welcome in the beginning of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: another hour of the Ben Mather Show.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere, me here and you there,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: as we are where the airwaves meet the night, coast
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to coast, border, the border.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: And beyond on the vast and ginormously powerful microphones of
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: fsre emmating live from the Aid the Sleep Aid of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the Overnight from the Fox Sports Radio studios, which are
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: approved by Spacoli, who's in Chapel Hill, and also by
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Justin in Cincinnati, a retired caller to the show used
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to call the show. He's retired now. At one point
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: we had tons of Cincinnati calls. We had Cardiac Stanley,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just Josh, we had Justin and Cincinnati. There were a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: bunch of guys from Cincinnati, and they've all either retired
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: or they've gone to the dreaded day shift. So it's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: unfortunate our domination in Cincinnati in terms of callers came
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to an end. But our lead this hour from Sweet
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Home Chicago, Ping Pong, Ding dong. That is where much
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of the focus on the draft lottery was on a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Monday prior prior to the New York Knickerbockers beating the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Celtics and Jason Tatum having a devastating leg injury, a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: non contact injury which ninety nine percent of the time
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: means they popped achilles. So before that game, the twenty
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: twenty five draft lottery. Now, going into the lottery, you
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: had the Hornets the Jazz and the Wizards. They hyped
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: U up. They said all had fourteen percent chances. Each
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: had a fourteen percent chance of getting the top pick.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: So I happen to have this on I was watching.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I was more interested in the baseball. I was watching
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the Tigers in the Red Sox game. I may or
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: may not have had a financial stake in that game.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: So I was watching that. But I made sure to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the flip over. They had old timer, very convenient, so
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: they had a timer to announce when they were actually
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: going to announce the picks. I didn't need the fluff.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I said, no fluff, and so I didn't watch the fluff.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: And I set a time on my watch, and so
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I said, okay. So they said ten minutes they'll start
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: revealing the picks. So I went away for ten minutes
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and they came back and then they lied. There was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: like another two minutes and then they revealed the picks.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: But fine, so I watched that part of it. The
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks with a one point eight percent chance. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: assume you've heard by now, but maybe not. The mav
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Res have won the number one overall pick. They win
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the draft lottery on Monday Night, and they get that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: top selection in next month's draft, and that means they
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: are going to plant the flag as in Cooper Flag,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the pride of Maine, the greatest thing to come out
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of Maine since Blair in Maine. The freshman who was
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: part of the Duke basketball team that got to the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Final Four and then went belly up in his lone
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: college season, giving up all that nil money to go
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to the NBA, the consensus player of the Year, that
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: John R. Wooden Award winner, and so he will go
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to Dallas. Barring some kind of failed physical or maybe
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Nico Harrison will hear that he doesn't like to work
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: out and he enjoys cheeseburgers and then cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: he won't go to Dallas. But aside from that, san
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Antonio will pick second. Philadelphia, considered by many to be
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the big winner outside of Dallas. Philadelphia will draft third.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: They were most likely going to give up that pick,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it was expected they would, but they will not. And
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the Charlott basketball team another lottery pick. It doesn't matter.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: They're in the lottery every year. They have a top
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: seven or eight pick every year and nothing changes. Repeat
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: history just repeats itself. But the story don't bury the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: lead ma man. All right. The story is Dallas picking
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: at the very top of the draft. And there are
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: many streaming yours truly included, that it's rigged. It's a
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: rig deal, it's a rigged playing field, the NBA draft lottery.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss buy or sell a widespread conspiracy
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: theory that the NBA rigged the lottery to send the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: top pick and thus Cooper Flag to Dallas to complete
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a previous transaction. So on, on this one, we have
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the kool Aid, President, Bush, and Blubber, and we will
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together, and we are going
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to enjoy some delicious nachos, because whoever's going to dall
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: is going to enjoy some great nachos there and hang
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: out and live the life and all that the Mavericks.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Let me start here my first thought on this. The
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: NBA has a history of being shady. Now listen, I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: watch it, and I enjoy it during the playoffs. I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: don't really enjoy it much during the regular season. I do.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I used to be around the NBA a lot back
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: in my younger days, and then I had a great time.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I have great memories of the NBA. That being said,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: they don't get the benefit of the doubt on these situations.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And so in terms of the conspiracy, if you've heard
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the show over the years, you know I am a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: case by case conspiracy theorist. I don't blindly believe every conspiracy.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: There are some that I absolutely believe. For example, the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: night the lights went out at the stadium in Baltimore,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the Orioles and Mariners, there was a power ade just
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: in the neighborhood around Camden Yards and there was an
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: incident involving cal Ripken. The streak would have ended early,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: so they made sure the power went out, and all
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that I believe that conspiracy. I think that Michael Jordan
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: was suspended for gambling and they sent him to Birmingham
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to play out his suspension for a couple of years
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: before he went back to the Chicago Bulls. I believe
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: that one. The one that is universally agreed upon is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: that the NBA rigged the draft lottery way back in
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the day. They rigged it. So we'll get to that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in a second. But I'm drinking the kool aid. I'm
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the kool aid Man. Oh yeah, I'm the kool aid
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Man when it comes to this, because let me make
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: my elevator pitch. It makes sense. The Mavericks gave away
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the biggest asset. They did the thing you can't do
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: at the time. You can't do it. No one, No
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: one gives away their top player the way the Mavericks
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: did for some essentially some ramen, noodles and hot water
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to be named later. That's that's essentially what they did.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: And if you're going to get rid of a top player,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you shop the player around to try to get the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: most in return. Dallas decided just to give him to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: only one team, the Lakers. That is malfeasans at the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: highest level, that is high crimes and misdemeanors as a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: felony in the business of professional sports, and the Mavericks
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: did it. Now the theory. There were multiple conspiracy theories
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: at the time. One of them was that the Mavericks
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: owner wanted to undermine the fan base because they wanted
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the team to move to Las Vegas. There was another
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: one that the NBA orchestrated Luca to go to the Lakers.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Television ratings were bad, the NBA was in the final
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: year of one TV agreement. They were about to go
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: to the new TV deal which starts next season with
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Amazon and NBC. Part of it turners out, and so
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: they were trying to fortify the ratings. They were trying
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to get the ratings up, and so what better way
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to get the ratings up than to just drop Luka
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Donzik into LA for nothing right for trash, And that's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: what happened. So that and so then this would be
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the other part of that. Dallas got Garbaie in return.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: They got a fragile, broken down Anthony Davis who probably
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: got hurt his first game with the Mavericks. Perfect perfect
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Max Christie who's just jagged, just a guy, and one
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: first round pick in twenty twenty nine for their top
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: player and a fan favorite and all of that, and
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a team that was coming off in appearance in the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals. So nobody does that. Nobody who's trying to
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: do things the right way does that. So the lottery win.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I again, we'll go back to some sorcery here if
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you will, because there was some funny business going on
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: here in the real world. The secret code was given
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: by the NBA to unlock the treasure map, and here
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it is quid pro quo. You help us out. You
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: give the Lakers a player they don't deserve for nothing,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and we'll take care of you. Okay, we'll get you.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: We'll get you that number one pick. We're good. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's illegal. People are like, well,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: it should be an investigation. Like they're in entertainment business.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: They can do they can rig the draft. Like what
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: is the crime. Who's going to go to jail if
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the NBA came out today and said we rigged the draft.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Here's how we did it, Like, what's the what's the charge? Like,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: they'll say, hey, we're sports entertainment business. This is entertainment.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: It's a plot twist, it's a storyline, and we're all
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: about the storylines. But as far as the the details
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: on this, the Mavericks again they helped the league favorable
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: treatment from Adam Soiver, the commissioner and the people underneath him.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: A one point eight percent chance to win. You gotta
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: be joking, right, you gotta be joking. That is a
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: dead giveaway, dead giveaway. The kind of funny business that
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: has been going on in the NBA for multiple generations.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: We are going back forty years, forty years nineteen eighty five,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: hat trick ewing, the frozen envelope, do do do do
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: do Do Do Do Do Do do doo? And if
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it's not rigged, if it's not rigged, then why don't
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: they just show it? The NHL wasn't a great product,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: but they showed it on TV. They showed the actual
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: lottery process, the National Hockey League. And even if you
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: show it on TV, there are still ways to rig it,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Like there's ways you can doctor it and futs around
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: with it and all that stuff, but they don't show
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it now. Secondly, wide angle lens, what does the number
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: one over really mean in terms of wins and losses
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: context of the big picture? So what does it really mean? Right?
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: What does it really mean here? So the arithmetic is
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: not kind. As President Bush said back in the day,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: it's fuzzy math. It's fuzzy math. The assumption is, if
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you get the top pick in the draft, you are
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: guaranteed to be a contender. You are a championship team,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and you have a good chance of winning a championship.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: So let's dive into that. What do you say, let's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: see if we can find that out, is that really
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the way it is, because that's how it's sold. I
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: watched the opening part of the lottery and it's oh,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: these are how players change franchises' fortunes and lead them
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to the promised Land. So there have been seventy five
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: top picks in the Pro Bouncy Ball draft since nineteen fifty,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: seventy five number one overall picks nineteen fifty And of those,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: what percentage has won a championship with the team that
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: drafted them? What do you think? How about you got
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: a number? How about twelve percent nine out of fifty
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: nine out of fifty, So that means forty one were
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: drafted and didn't win bupkis for the team that they
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: were drafted by. And how about the modernary? You said, well,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: who cares about nineteen fifty? How about the modern era? Okay,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: so the modern era since the year two thousand. Holy crap,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: that's the modern era since the year two thousand. It's
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: even worse. There have been twenty five top pick since
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the year two thousand, and only two have won a
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: championship and they both did it on the same team.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: That was the Lebron James who left to go to Miami,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: came back with Kyrie Irving, who was also a top pick.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: And that's it. Those those are the only two since
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the year two thousand. So what does that mean? Get
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to the point, please, So it means the Cooper flag
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: looks great on a tablet watching highlights on the YouTube.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: But as far as him being the messiah, the savior
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: of the Mavericks, history says he's not going to lead
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Dallas to a championship, right, And of course this all
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: tells you what has happened, not what's going to happen.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: The odds though, since the year two thousand, you are
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: much more likely to get the next Andrea Barnani or
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Markel Foltz or god forbid, Ben Simmons with the top
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: pick in the draft. And when when flag?
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: When? When? What he will do when he arrives, when
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: he shows up in Dallas is he will fall out
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the coldness like there's a there's a new opportunity. My
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: argument is, as long as Nico Harrison's the GM, the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Snank's going to be there, you can't trust the perception
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: is and he and I I tend to buy into
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the conspiracies, I said, as I pointed out, I buy
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the conspiracy that this was done at a higher level,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: at the ownership level and between the league. That being said, though,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: if I if I cared about the Mavericks and I
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: own the Mavericks, I would fire Nico Harrison today. I'd
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: have a clean start and say Nico, you're done. Because
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: even if you bring Cooper flag in, who's to say
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: that Cooper on the road. They go to a buffet
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: somewhere in Milwaukee and he gets fat, and then Nico
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: trades him, gives him to the Lakers for some washed
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: up celebrity that was last famous in the seventies. You know,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: why not? What the hell? All? Right? Final thought? So
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: we were told that Mark Cuban, the number one fanboy
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: of the no longer the owner. But Mark Cuban had
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to call the new Mavericks owner, Patrick DuMond, to let
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: him know that they procured the top pick in the draft.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Do you find it odd that the question do you
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: find it odd that the Mavericks owner Patrick Dumont was
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: not paying attention to the draft lottery for the team
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: that he's running. So you can't see me, but I'm
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: nod in my head. Yes, I'm not I'm not in
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: my head. Yes, So let's discuss this. So Mark Cuban
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: calls up the owner and says, hey, we were in
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the top four and then we got the number one pick.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Now is this a big deal, a little deal or
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: no deal? It is a to me, it's a big deal.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: To me, it's a big deal because Dumont. Now, people said, well,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: he was at his daughter's track meet and all that,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: and people will dismiss this as well, you're just being
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: a hater, dude. That's why you're doing the Overnight show.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: You're just a hater. Yeah, okay, this is amazing. We
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: live in a wild, wild, wild world, in a world
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: with things called Wi Fi. It's amazing. So while many
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: will dismiss this and just say, well, he was just
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: being a good dad, he was prioritizing his family, we
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: think it's a big deal because you can multitask, right,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Dumont is still new to the Mavericks, and one of
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the conspiracies, aside from the one we shared earlier, one
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: of the conspiracies was we don't know he's doing. He's
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: not only a basketball person, and this would buy into
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: that narrative that he's just disengaged, that this is just
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: a property that you don't really have any passion for it,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: And just like he's married into the family and it's
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: a gambling family, and they're using the Mavericks to get
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: a casino in Dallas, and so it's all part of
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: that deal. They don't really care about team. So this
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: is tossing blubber into the polar bear cage, big piece
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: of blubber. So you tell me you can't multitask even
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: at one point eight percent chance, Like, you wouldn't just
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: pull your phone out and watch on your phone like
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: so many of us do while they're at a sporting event,
• 17:59

• 23:53
  Speaker 1: news conference on Monday. A fidget spinner, Ben fidget spinner?
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Is that correct? Let's find out. No, that's incorrect. Anthony
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Edwards Wolf star Anthony Edwards was holding a Gary Payton
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Seattle SuperSonics jersey the whole time. Peer a lot of
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: love for Gary Payton. Here's the odd thing, though, I
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: was doing the math on this, and there's a pretty
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: good chance that Anthony Edwards didn't really see Gary Peyton play.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe at the end that Gary Payton played until six
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: o seven. He was thirty eight, so six o seven.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Then you do the math on this. I said there'd
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: be no math. But Anthony Edwards, he's a young lad,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: a young pup so he was born in one So
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: when Gary Payton played his last game in the NBA,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards was like five or six, so he never
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: even saw really Gary Payton played basketball, but he has
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: respect for his game. Let's go to the phones. Danny
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: de Vijo is online, and when Danny DeVito's online, you've
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: got to take his phone call. Hello, Danny, Welcome Mit, Samela, Hi,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: how are you? What's going on? Danny? If I was
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: any better, I'd be a Celtic, but not a Boston
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Celtic because they're up against it right now.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: And that's why I'm calling. That's one of the reasons
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: why I'm falling the boss of Celtics. I hate to say.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm from Boston and I am a bost
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: of Celtics fan, but they are overrated then overrated teams.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: And I was wrong about the nick. I guess I
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: tracked next to a couple months ago. I called in
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: and I was basically calling Nixic jokes. I was wrong
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: on that.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Well, Danny, Danny, Danny, they were in the regular season,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: they lost to all the good teams, so at the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: time you made that comment, they were worthy of that comment.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: The problem is that that is what they did do
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: they obviously aren't that same team right now, are playing
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: at a higher level, and it helps the Celtics have
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: falling apart and and so it's working, it's working in
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: their favor. But they were terrible against the top teams
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: in the NBA.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's funny how the playoffs chan change teams for
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: some teams, But how about Missoula. Then, uh, pus should
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: maybe fight this guy. I mean, they're up by twenty
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: points in game one and two, both games, and then
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: uh you know, and then he still tells the team
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: to keep shooting three I mean sixty three balls. I
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: think it was in game one or something like that.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: I don't remember that. Back to it. But when you're
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: up by twenty points about hole on the ball? Are
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: going to the rim protecting that league? I mean I
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: think it. I think they might have to fight this guy.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, when they're not going to fire him, because
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: whoever they hire is going to play the same way.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: And now Missoula's got the ultimate get out of trouble
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: card because well we would have won if Tatum and
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: stayed healthy, we were only down nine he got her,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: we would have made a couple of shots we would
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: have got, we would have won that game. We would
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: have come back and beaten the Knicks. And now we lost,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: and so it's not you know, it's not his fault.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: We lost. We'll come back and we'll do better next year.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know, Ben, you think that the next guy
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: coming in, we'll actually cheaking to do it. We're actually
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: coaching to do that.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Well because Missoula. To me, he's just following what they
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: want the front office, that's what they want. This is
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the style of play they want. They've they're analytically driven
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: that You've got that Sloan Nerd conference in Boston every year,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: and this is that the by product of that. The
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: nerds love this. They get all horny when they watched
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: three point shots. They can't get enough of.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: But it had the history of not one. I know
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: they won lots. Yeah, but remember the Phoenix Sun. E
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: don't though the teams the Phoenix that are running up
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: and down the floor with about ten to fifteen years ago.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, with Mike D'Antoni and Mike the d system don't
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: want nothing.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: The NBA draft shops man, the NBA draft I think
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: it's choke ouse. Yeah, I mean, how does it Dallas
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Mavick get the number one six?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: They're either they're either really lucky or it's rigged one
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: of those two.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it's gotta be d ninety seven. Then when
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: the box was five fos, oh.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna get Tim. You're gonna get Tim Duncan,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: and you you ended up with Chauncey Billups right, was
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: that the one you're talking about?
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: It was Bill could not being a good play. I
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: think Phillips Ron Murca.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but you want it. You wanted Duncan and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: then yeah, Rick and Rick Patino went there thinking they
• 28:35
