- 0:47Speaker 1: down these Spurs fans trolling SGA with props prop comedy

- 2:30Speaker 1: is well as we are back added here slaving away
- 2:35Speaker 1: over the hot microphones of Fox Sports Radio, trading carefully
- 2:39Speaker 1: as it is pro bouncy ball season. Although it does
- 2:42Speaker 1: look like we'll have because of what happened over the weekend,
- 2:45Speaker 1: we have this later. The Knickerbockers have the last rights
- 2:49Speaker 1: coming out the there's a clergy person coming over to
- 2:52Speaker 1: talk to the Cavaliers. Is there a seasons about over there?
- 2:55Speaker 1: But the Western Conference took center square on Sunday night
- 3:00Speaker 1: in the Alamo City Game four the Western Finals o
- 3:05Speaker 1: KC the road team entering the Hippodrome. They're in San
- 3:11Speaker 1: Antonio for game number four. Then the Thunder won the
- 3:15Speaker 1: last couple up two games to one, looking to take
- 3:18Speaker 1: a choke hold and get one win away from the
- 3:21Speaker 1: NBA Finals. Did you watch this game? Were you checking
- 3:23Speaker 1: this out? No? You were doing something else. Okay, Well,
- 3:27Speaker 1: Victor Winbyama, I've heard of him. He had thirty three points,
- 3:31Speaker 1: eight rebounds, five assists, three blocks, and apartures to a
- 3:34Speaker 1: pear Tree and the Spurs. They put the choke hold
- 3:39Speaker 1: on Oklahoma City, a second lowest postseason point total. I'm
- 3:44Speaker 1: told that's not good for the Thunder as they go down,
- 3:49Speaker 1: and they went down hard. San Antonio is a twenty
- 3:52Speaker 1: one point win, the Thunder just eighty two points, the
- 3:55Speaker 1: San Antonio basketball team putting up one hundred and three.
- 3:58Speaker 1: So Game four goes the way of the team from Texas,
- 4:02Speaker 1: the Aaron Fox, who had missed some time in this
- 4:05Speaker 1: series at twelve points and ten rebounds for San Antonio,
- 4:09Speaker 1: and so they had not lost three consecutive games all season.
- 4:13Speaker 1: They avoided doing that here in this series, and they
- 4:16Speaker 1: will mathematically not be able to lose three straight in
- 4:20Speaker 1: this series. They'd have to go to the finals to
- 4:22Speaker 1: lose three straight. So Stefan Castle he had thirteen. Devin
- 4:27Speaker 1: Vassel also with thirteen. So Game five will be on Tuesday,
- 4:31Speaker 1: and that'll be back in Oklahoma City, followed by games
- 4:35Speaker 1: that we're guaranteed of a Game six on Thursday back
- 4:40Speaker 1: in Texas. But the better story is in the losing
- 4:43Speaker 1: locker room, and that is where we will talk. Will
- 4:46Speaker 1: jump off on that point. Good discussion on a team
- 4:49Speaker 1: like the Thunder go down under hit rock bottom. The
- 4:54Speaker 1: game not very competitive at all despite the best laid
- 4:57Speaker 1: plans of Mike Tarrico and the other I don't know
- 5:00Speaker 1: who those other guys were. I guess Regie Miller was
- 5:01Speaker 1: one of them. I dont know who the other one
- 5:02Speaker 1: was on NBC. So the question where did it all
- 5:09Speaker 1: go wrong for the Thunder in game four? So I've
- 5:12Speaker 1: got habitat of humanity, military grade camouflage and rumba, and
- 5:19Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together, and we
- 5:26Speaker 1: are going to make some spaghetti and meatballs, is what
- 5:28Speaker 1: we're going to make. So a Oklahoma City lost this
- 5:32Speaker 1: game the moment I saw the moment they showed her
- 5:34Speaker 1: on TV, the moment the team got off the bus
- 5:36Speaker 1: to walk into the arena. Turn out, the lot of
- 5:40Speaker 1: parties over see you later. Now there's an old saying there,
- 5:44Speaker 1: some days you're the pigeon, and then some days you're
- 5:47Speaker 1: the statue. Well, Shay jigis Alexander spent game four covered
- 5:52Speaker 1: and you know what, Yeah, he was right out there
- 5:56Speaker 1: as the birds were going on bombing runs. Shay, he
- 6:00Speaker 1: was not just the statue, he was the public art
- 6:03Speaker 1: installation the Pigeons used for target practice. Cob Boom Sga
- 6:10Speaker 1: went from a mister MVP guy to background extra in
- 6:15Speaker 1: this game, and despite playing in Oklahoma, A lot of
- 6:18Speaker 1: hate part of it because he's a former Clipper. That's
- 6:21Speaker 1: why guys are jealous of the clips and he's got
- 6:23Speaker 1: that Clipper pedigree. Sga. The truth is Oklahoma City, though
- 6:28Speaker 1: did not run an offense in this game, they ran
- 6:31Speaker 1: a habitat for humanity, bricklaying workshop. They were all So
- 6:36Speaker 1: this is freemasonry. Come on down, Habitat for humanity. We're
- 6:39Speaker 1: gonna learn how to lay bricks. And they did, and
- 6:43Speaker 1: you go just by watching the game. But if you
- 6:45Speaker 1: didn't watch the game, and you don't need me to
- 6:47Speaker 1: tell you, they got thirty three percent from the field,
- 6:49Speaker 1: I don't think that's good. Eighteen percent from three point land.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Oklahoma City shot like the rim that they were trying
- 6:57Speaker 1: to hit the rim there. It filed some kind of
- 7:00Speaker 1: training order or something like that. Jared McCain, who was
- 7:03Speaker 1: the pickup from the sixers, he missed nine of ten shots.
- 7:09Speaker 1: I don't think that's good. Alex Caruso and the ball Bomber,
- 7:15Speaker 1: he got fourteen minutes of cardio in this game. Fourteen
- 7:19Speaker 1: minutes of cardio, and I think he burned more calories
- 7:23Speaker 1: than points scored, which is not hard zero points scored,
- 7:28Speaker 1: So it's fair to say that he actually did burn
- 7:30Speaker 1: more calories than points scored in this game. And after
- 7:33Speaker 1: the first four minutes or so, the game was somewhat competitive.
- 7:37Speaker 1: The first four minutes. After that, Oklahoma City never led,
- 7:43Speaker 1: They never threatened, They didn't matter. They were irrelevant in
- 7:47Speaker 1: this game as it was a clock cleaning. This was
- 7:51Speaker 1: almost a wired to wired dental cleaning without Anesesia, so
- 7:57Speaker 1: down by his many's twenty five for Oklahoma City. The
- 8:00Speaker 1: only run Oklahoma City made was to go take a
- 8:05Speaker 1: dump after the game to the locker room. That was it.
- 8:08Speaker 1: This wasn't the thunder. This was the blunder, is what
- 8:11Speaker 1: it was in this game. Now. Meanwhile, so postgame, San
- 8:15Speaker 1: Antonio forward Devin Vassal, someone we don't often mention, why
- 8:19Speaker 1: would we? Devin Vassal for some reason did an interview
- 8:24Speaker 1: on television postgame and he gave a money quote as
- 8:29Speaker 1: the Thunder were discombobulated, and Vassal of the Spurs said, quote,
- 8:34Speaker 1: I think they're super physical, he said of the Thunder,
- 8:37Speaker 1: they get away with a lot. We try to use
- 8:41Speaker 1: that against them too. We're gonna try to be ultra
- 8:44Speaker 1: physical close quote all right, So that has been sliced
- 8:48Speaker 1: up and diced up and put under the microscope. So
- 8:52Speaker 1: we'll take a turn at this right now. The question
- 8:55Speaker 1: did San Antonio's Devin Vassal take a shot subtle shot
- 9:01Speaker 1: at the thunder and the way they play by saying
- 9:04Speaker 1: they get away with a lot, all right, So this
- 9:08Speaker 1: one is rather paint by numbers it's rather paint by number.
- 9:12Speaker 1: So absolutely vassals slipped in some classic professional side eye.
- 9:17Speaker 1: It's the little side eye right there. And you gotta
- 9:21Speaker 1: look at this as basketball diplomacy. NBA players these days
- 9:26Speaker 1: don't normally just come out and scream the refs build
- 9:29Speaker 1: them out, man. They don't to say that. So instead
- 9:33Speaker 1: what they do is they use military grade camouflage. They
- 9:36Speaker 1: say things like they get away with a lot. The
- 9:40Speaker 1: subtext is glaringly obvious. The subtext is we need the
- 9:45Speaker 1: game called differently next time. And this is after a win.
- 9:49Speaker 1: It's the old playoff psychology. In effect, you complain, complain, complain, complay,
- 9:57Speaker 1: you complain even after victory, hoping referees overcorrect in the
- 10:03Speaker 1: next game. Normally that only works after a loss. Oklahoma
- 10:06Speaker 1: City perfectly understands how to live in those gray areas
- 10:12Speaker 1: of the rule book, and the NBA certainly doesn't need
- 10:15Speaker 1: more officiating drama. Although any publicity is good publicity. The
- 10:20Speaker 1: players sure love planting the seed. It's no accountabilit it's
- 10:25Speaker 1: always the referee's fault and all that, and slice it up,
- 10:29Speaker 1: you cannibalize the broadcast. There's a million different plays and
- 10:33Speaker 1: every game there's a handful that are just egregious, horrifically
- 10:37Speaker 1: bad calls, and so ultimately this does appear based on
- 10:42Speaker 1: the whims of the league office. Here forget SGA and Wemby.
- 10:46Speaker 1: This series won't be decided by the superstars on the floor.
- 10:50Speaker 1: The way it's looking after four games, tell me if
- 10:53Speaker 1: I'm wrong on this. It looks like it's going to
- 10:54Speaker 1: be decided by the adults with the whistles. Whistle, whistle, whistle.
- 10:58Speaker 1: It does right the whole series? Or is this rapidly
- 11:01Speaker 1: turning into a courtroom drama O rama starring Scott Foster
- 11:06Speaker 1: and Tony Brothers as Judge Judy and Judge Wapner, a
- 11:10Speaker 1: couple of old judges back in the day. So that's
- 11:12Speaker 1: where we are now. Last word to the crowd. We
- 11:16Speaker 1: go to the crowd. There was a random woman, random
- 11:20Speaker 1: woman sitting courtside in Santo. In fact, there was more
- 11:23Speaker 1: than one, but the one that was brought to our
- 11:26Speaker 1: attention by several of you appeared to be holding what
- 11:29Speaker 1: was a replica Oscar trophy and she was trying to
- 11:34Speaker 1: present it to Thunderguard. Shaye Jyogis Alexander, the multi time
- 11:39Speaker 1: MVP trying to give him the little Oscar replica Oscar
- 11:44Speaker 1: whenever he hit the deck, which was pretty much every
- 11:47Speaker 1: other time he touched the ball. So the question for
- 11:50Speaker 1: the class, how did you break down the Spurs fans
- 11:55Speaker 1: in this case whether there was a bunch of trolling,
- 11:57Speaker 1: but focus on this woman. So how do you break
- 11:59Speaker 1: down the Spurs fans trolling SGA with props? So it
- 12:04Speaker 1: was very carrot top like night prop comedy. San Antonio
- 12:09Speaker 1: didn't just bring props to the arena of the fans.
- 12:12Speaker 1: They brought production value, very important. You gotta have that
- 12:15Speaker 1: production value. And SGA gets clowned all the time. In
- 12:18Speaker 1: this case, he gets clowned by some random woman holding
- 12:21Speaker 1: a piece of plastic, a little trophy, a little trinket.
- 12:26Speaker 1: I see regularly auditions SGA for days of our lives.
- 12:31Speaker 1: They had a stat after the first couple of games
- 12:33Speaker 1: of the NBA Conference Finals that SGA about thirty percent
- 12:38Speaker 1: a little lesson than about thirty percent of the time.
- 12:40Speaker 1: SGA would fall down, oftentimes not even getting in any
- 12:46Speaker 1: kind of contact. But you look at the state of
- 12:48Speaker 1: the sport right now and the opposing crowds at this point,
- 12:53Speaker 1: like they raz SGA. It's not a loud boo. I
- 12:58Speaker 1: don't boom too much. They just kind of hold up
- 13:00Speaker 1: scorecards like it's Olympic diving. Well, that was a nine
- 13:05Speaker 1: point three of the judges' scorecards. That's great, Okay, wonderful, wonderful. Now,
- 13:11Speaker 1: the NBA over the years has normalized flopping so thoroughly
- 13:15Speaker 1: that the crowd now provides its own award show for
- 13:20Speaker 1: the flop. And the Thunder constantly complained about physicality. However,
- 13:26Speaker 1: their franchise player, former Clipper Sga, he hits the deck
- 13:32Speaker 1: more than a roomba with vertigo. Okay, he's all he's
- 13:36Speaker 1: like cleaning everything up. He's like the roombaut They're going
- 13:39Speaker 1: around and around around, suffering from a diagnosed allergy. Really,
- 13:45Speaker 1: he's allergic to staying upright. That's the issue here, Sga,
- 13:49Speaker 1: I got to stay up right. What are you talking about?
- 13:51Speaker 1: And ultimately this is not just petty trolling. It's really
- 13:55Speaker 1: a referendum on the way the game is played. But
- 13:59Speaker 1: ultimately the NBA doesn't care. This has been the thing
- 14:02Speaker 1: on and off for many, many, many, many many years.
- 14:06Speaker 1: We've been behind these microphones and we've had similar conversations
- 14:10Speaker 1: by different players in different eras and it is ironic
- 14:13Speaker 1: San Antonio with Manu Genobili and some of those old
- 14:15Speaker 1: school guys back in the day who were floppy mcflop
- 14:19Speaker 1: and now even some of the Spurs guys flop. But
- 14:21Speaker 1: it's no one can get to the level of SGA's.
- 14:26Speaker 1: He's had a different realm and it's like he's an
- 14:30Speaker 1: advanced calculus at this point. Everyone else is just doing
- 14:34Speaker 1: the basic arithmetic and and that's where we are. And
- 14:37Speaker 1: so SGA does he flop obviously, right, Here's the thing
- 14:42Speaker 1: about the flop is it's part of the nuance of basketball.
- 14:47Speaker 1: The referees allow it. They put rules in a couple
- 14:50Speaker 1: of years back to try to stop the flop. Stop
- 14:53Speaker 1: the flop, stop the flop, stop the flop. They try
- 14:55Speaker 1: to do it, and still here we are, all these
- 14:58Speaker 1: years later, and there's there's rules for the haves and
- 15:01Speaker 1: rules for the haves not, and if you reach a
- 15:04Speaker 1: certain level, they give you a lot more runway, a
- 15:08Speaker 1: lot more runway. It has been standard operating procedure for
- 15:12Speaker 1: generations now who have watched the NBA. The flopping and
- 15:18Speaker 1: the thing about it, as we said, there's the haves
- 15:20Speaker 1: and the have not, so you have. One man's flop
- 15:23Speaker 1: is another man's Hall of Fame career. Sga is already
- 15:30Speaker 1: the standard to get to Springfield is not that great.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Muffett mccraw's in there, as our friend Alf likes to
- 15:35Speaker 1: point out to me, and he lives not far from there.
- 15:38Speaker 1: But Sga already got his Springfield acceptance speech written. He's
- 15:42Speaker 1: got it written in italics. He's ready to go. I mean,
- 15:46Speaker 1: it's you know, he's steamrolling through this. And now this
- 15:50Speaker 1: was not a great performance by any means. He didn't
- 15:52Speaker 1: even play in the fourth quarter. It was not pretty.
- 15:56Speaker 1: But still, you know, any meaning, miney Moe pick a
- 16:00Speaker 1: flop and it's like they're all flop, every one of
- 16:03Speaker 1: the floppy mcflop flop flop A right is the Bean
- 16:07Speaker 1: Malor show. We wait with baited breath to see who's
- 16:10Speaker 1: going to call in. I have no idea. It's a
- 16:12Speaker 1: holiday weekend, which means there's a lot of partying going on.
- 16:16Speaker 1: You don't most people don't have to get up and
- 16:18Speaker 1: go to work on Monday mornings, so you can stay
- 16:22Speaker 1: up all night and hang out with us and have
- 16:24Speaker 1: a party. And what fun. I can't think of a
- 16:28Speaker 1: more fun party. Than this unless I can, but we'll
- 16:31Speaker 1: be here all night long. And if you'd like to
- 16:34Speaker 1: be part of this, it can be interactive. Now, it
- 16:37Speaker 1: does not have to be interacted. We have plenty of
- 16:40Speaker 1: content here. We we've many things to discuss throughout the overnight,
- 16:44Speaker 1: so don't necessarily need to have your feedback. We'd love
- 16:48Speaker 1: to have new voices get on though, So if you
- 16:50Speaker 1: want to be part of the program, we have the bug.
- 16:53Speaker 1: What's the bug? The bug to call the show eight
- 16:55Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine on Fox that's eight seven seven
- 17:00Speaker 1: nine three sixty nine, also on X at Ben Mallard.
- 17:04Speaker 1: How every slice, So whether you call in, whether you
- 17:07Speaker 1: do the thing on the X machine, that'll give you
- 17:10Speaker 1: some feedback here, give us some feedback, and we'll let
- 17:13Speaker 1: the good times roll, the good times roll. So straight ahead,
- 17:18Speaker 1: a little pop talk and also the thing that caused
- 17:25Speaker 1: the problem for the thunder, what was the explanation for
- 17:29Speaker 1: what that was? Where this was a non competitive performance,
- 17:33Speaker 1: what was the thing that went sideways for OKAC. We'll
- 17:38Speaker 1: get to that as well. Take your calls the whole
- 17:39Speaker 1: thing as we are just beginning the new week, the
- 17:42Speaker 1: red Eye flight. We'll get to all of it. And
- 17:45Speaker 1: we will do it next.

- 20:42Speaker 1: now to begin the night, and Dan writes in he says,
- 20:47Speaker 1: the Spurs statement win the okay see is on notice
- 20:53Speaker 1: it's a rap. Yeah, I'm sure they're very concerned. Tell
- 20:57Speaker 1: me you don't know ball. Without telling me you don't
- 20:58Speaker 1: know ball, it's threes, a thunder, a home court plausibly,
- 21:04Speaker 1: although san Antonio can win in Oklahoma City and vice versa.
- 21:09Speaker 1: There you go, absolutely all right, Chip of the qu'es right,
- 21:13Speaker 1: since says eight plus on the mall of monologue. You know,
- 21:15Speaker 1: if I were to fall into the floor or fall
- 21:18Speaker 1: onto the floor at my job, my employer would be
- 21:23Speaker 1: making me fill out an accident report. I wonder how
- 21:26Speaker 1: bulging old floppy mcflop accident file is if this his
- 21:33Speaker 1: workplace has to fill out a report after each episode. Yeah,
- 21:38Speaker 1: so that'd be a very unfortunate Chip if you had
- 21:41Speaker 1: to fill out a report. Oh something felt every time
- 21:45Speaker 1: every time you went to the ground there. Yeah, all right.
- 21:50Speaker 1: Random Ryan in Carolina, Wright City says today was the
- 21:54Speaker 1: first NASCAR race since nineteen seventy nine not to feature
- 21:58Speaker 1: someone named Earnhardt or Bush. Rest in peace, rowdy buggety,
- 22:03Speaker 1: buggety buggety boogety Yes. Yeah, I was reading about that
- 22:07Speaker 1: over the weekend and what happened to mister Bush there?
- 22:10Speaker 1: And they said he had They think he had pneumonia
- 22:13Speaker 1: and then it turned into sepsis. That's sepsist, man. My
- 22:17Speaker 1: dad died of sepsis. He was sick and ended up
- 22:21Speaker 1: getting the sepsis. There a lot of people. That takes
- 22:23Speaker 1: a lot of us out there. Is it that silent
- 22:26Speaker 1: killer common after a surgery to get sepsis?
- 22:29Speaker 4: Or is it after like just a.
- 22:32Speaker 1: I don't know. As you know, I'm not a doctor.
- 22:34Speaker 1: I can play one of the radar. But I believe
- 22:36Speaker 1: as you get old, as you get older, I believe
- 22:40Speaker 1: that you're more likely to get the sepsis. Although he
- 22:42Speaker 1: was not. The poisoning of the blood, yeah yeah, And
- 22:45Speaker 1: it's but silent and you don't really kind of know
- 22:49Speaker 1: a lot of people don't even know they have it,
- 22:51Speaker 1: and then once you once you get it, you're pretty cooked.
- 22:55Speaker 1: And there's stuff. If they get it early enough, there's
- 22:57Speaker 1: stuff they can do. But obviously it didn't get it
- 23:00Speaker 1: early enough for him. Mark the full name guy is
- 23:03Speaker 1: ranting and raving about some gibbers. Here he says, screw
- 23:07Speaker 1: you F the Dodgers, F baseball, F gambling and gamblers,
- 23:11Speaker 1: F pro sports, and all the cheaters bribery, extortion and blackmail,
- 23:16Speaker 1: F all the photy hype and all you lazy blankety
- 23:20Speaker 1: blank blanks who spent all your time watching TV and

- 23:27Speaker 1: very level headed Mark, Yeah, very level headed exactly. Let's see,
- 23:35Speaker 1: can't read that. On the air, Mark ranting and raving
- 23:39Speaker 1: more Here, ferk Dog said, No, Stradinas did a great job.
- 23:44Speaker 1: It was really big of you to finally admit the
- 23:46Speaker 1: Seahawks two point conversion should not have counted. I couldn't
- 23:50Speaker 1: be proud of you. Yeah, that was a big step
- 23:51Speaker 1: if you missed it. On the Fifth Hour podcast on Sunday,
- 23:53Speaker 1: No Stradina's a confession. Did not expect that confession, did
- 23:57Speaker 1: not expect that, But we got it. Brock writes in
- 24:01Speaker 1: and says, here's my confession, if not concession, about the
- 24:08Speaker 1: Thunder versus the Alien. I don't know what that means.
- 24:12Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sure what that means. Eileen in
- 24:16Speaker 1: San Francisco says, f no streudinis. I guess you didn't
- 24:19Speaker 1: like the podcast. What was wrong with that? Sean says Mallard,
- 24:23Speaker 1: Your thunder are cooked. They are losing the next two
- 24:27Speaker 1: and my Spurs are headed back to the NBA Finals. Well,
- 24:31Speaker 1: first of all, I ever said they were my Thunder. Okay,
- 24:34Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't have a dog in the fight here.
- 24:37Speaker 1: As Michael Vick would say, but the old quarterback back
- 24:39Speaker 1: in the day. So that's number one. I'm just watching.
- 24:43Speaker 1: I'm just looking for a good story. That's all I'm
- 24:45Speaker 1: looking for. I just want a good story every game.
- 24:48Speaker 1: Give me something's pretty good. That's all I need. I
- 24:50Speaker 1: don't need any more than that. Let's go to the phones, though,
- 24:53Speaker 1: right now, and let's say hello to the main, the myth,
- 24:56Speaker 1: the legend. We say hello to Andre, Andre, Andre the
- 25:00Speaker 1: common One. Hello, Andre, Welcome.
- 25:05Speaker 5: Good evening, Ben, good to be with you on this
- 25:08Speaker 5: Memorial Day weekend. Here in the Commonwealth, a three day weekend, allowing,
- 25:15Speaker 5: you know, for us to take some time remember honor
- 25:19Speaker 5: those paid the highest sacrifice, and so, you know, just
- 25:23Speaker 5: put that out there to begin with, Ben, this situation
- 25:28Speaker 5: in San Antonio fully healthy. Uh, this was a boat race,
- 25:33Speaker 5: non competitive game, and I nat Williams missing for the
- 25:37Speaker 5: Oklahoma City Thunder. I get all of that, but pound
- 25:41Speaker 5: for pound, it's becoming quite clear Antonio Spurs just fled
- 25:45Speaker 5: out better than Oklahoma City Thunder. This whole narrative SGA
- 25:49Speaker 5: back to back MVPs. You know, they're the odds are
- 25:52Speaker 5: on favorite, you know, unstoppablefore.
- 25:55Speaker 4: So on, and uh, I'm just not seeing it.
- 25:58Speaker 5: I'm saying I'm seeing San Antonio.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait, wait wait. I believe this would be
- 26:02Speaker 1: what's known as a overreaction, Andre, because if you had
- 26:07Speaker 1: called me up after game three, you would have a
- 26:10Speaker 1: much different conversation because at that point, the Thunder up
- 26:14Speaker 1: two games to one. So aren't you overreacting here? I
- 26:18Speaker 1: believe that would be the term, that this is an
- 26:20Speaker 1: over correction because of what you just.
- 26:22Speaker 5: Saw taken point take, Yeah, I got you. You know,
- 26:26Speaker 5: maybe it's just because of the three day weekend and
- 26:27Speaker 5: I'm just basking and all the rain that we got
- 26:30Speaker 5: today in the Commonwealth, you know, the sunshine's gonna hold
- 26:33Speaker 5: off to the last day to three day weekend. You
- 26:34Speaker 5: know we got we got dreariness and clouds, and all
- 26:37Speaker 5: of a sudden, the clouds want to part like it's
- 26:39Speaker 5: the Simpson We get good weather at the tail end.
- 26:42Speaker 5: That could be the reason. But here's the thing. How
- 26:45Speaker 5: many of these games have been blowout. This has been
- 26:47Speaker 5: a relatively close series. First game with instant class and
- 26:50Speaker 5: going into multiple overtimes, right, okt comes back in Game
- 26:54Speaker 5: two where they really should have blew them out with
- 26:56Speaker 5: Dylan Harper being hurt, but they went close Game three
- 26:59Speaker 5: of back and forth game. My point is this, they
- 27:02Speaker 5: blew it open when they backed healthy. I just don't
- 27:05Speaker 5: feel they beat them in the regular season. They're beating
- 27:08Speaker 5: them in the postseason in Oklahoma City. They're gonna have
- 27:11Speaker 5: to get adjusted to being either even or the underdog
- 27:15Speaker 5: in a series. I feel that they're riding a little
- 27:17Speaker 5: bit too high in the saddle and they've lost a
- 27:19Speaker 5: little bit of the gumption to climb them out. I'm
- 27:22Speaker 5: just I picked San Antonio to begin with, and bet
- 27:25Speaker 5: you noted your Tri State area roots. I'll conclude on this.
- 27:28Speaker 5: I know we've got a number of other callers. One's
- 27:30Speaker 5: the last time the Spurs and the Knicks met in
- 27:32Speaker 5: the NBA finals.
- 27:33Speaker 4: You bet, you guessed it.
- 27:34Speaker 5: Nineteen eighty ninety nine lockout season, the number eight seed
- 27:39Speaker 5: New York Knicks under the leadership of Jet Van Gundy. Okay,
- 27:42Speaker 5: breaking through and that's when Tim Duncan came to the forefront,
- 27:45Speaker 5: deprived Carmelone and John Stocking in a championship by the way, okay,
- 27:49Speaker 5: and the rest is history. We're going back to ninety nine.
- 27:51Speaker 5: Turn your clocks back, y two k right. The world
- 27:55Speaker 5: not gonna end then or now? Okay, Spurs Knicks NBA Finals.
- 27:59Speaker 5: Great to be with you, bet and fulfill my malon
- 28:01Speaker 5: milissa obligations when I have the ability to do stuffing.
- 28:04Speaker 5: And I had a great time. I had a kind
- 28:05Speaker 5: of what the malady.
- 28:07Speaker 1: It was wonderful. It was wonderful to meet you, Andre.
- 28:09Speaker 1: Thank you right. Although again I'm gonna claim it's the
- 28:13Speaker 1: holiday hangover by Andre there because that he mentioned that
- 28:17Speaker 1: the game's very competitive between San Antonio and Oklahoma City.
- 28:21Speaker 1: I would argue the last two games were not competitive.
- 28:24Speaker 1: The game obviously that we just had on Sunday night
- 28:26Speaker 1: was not competitive. And the game Friday, Yeah, I mean
- 28:31Speaker 1: the Spurs did not lead in the same thunder led
- 28:34Speaker 1: by as many as eighteen and they controlled the game
- 28:38Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. They kept in game three, they kept San
- 28:41Speaker 1: Antonio at arm's length, and they end up winning that
- 28:44Speaker 1: game where it was really comfortable. Wasn't as big a
- 28:47Speaker 1: blowout as it was in the game on Sunday, but
- 28:49Speaker 1: it was still not a competitive situation in the fourth quarter.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Let's say hello to blind Scott on the north end
- 28:58Speaker 1: of Boston, right next to Bova's Bakery.
- 29:01Speaker 4: Hello, blind dude, That Andre call sucks. That Andre call
- 29:05Speaker 4: always sucks. No pleasant trees, too much bullcrap man, no substance,
- 29:10Speaker 4: terrible phone call every time. Bro Dude. They're ripping out
- 29:14Speaker 4: two bridges on Cape cod speaking of Andre, so we're
- 29:17Speaker 4: gonna have tons of listeners from there, you know what
- 29:19Speaker 4: I'm saying. They'll be working to build those bridges. It's
- 29:21Speaker 4: a huge project. People will you know, all types of
- 29:24Speaker 4: stuff will happen. The bridges are one hundred years old.
- 29:26Speaker 4: They got to will wreck over and talk to them
- 29:28Speaker 4: while their building stuff. Yeah, we would love to do
- 29:32Speaker 4: it and then tell them to listen to the Ben
- 29:34Speaker 4: Maler Show every night.
- 29:35Speaker 1: I believe's got some issues on the Cape though, right
- 29:37Speaker 1: scot You've had a few issues out there views.
- 29:39Speaker 4: Yes, you can't go down there. It's pretty conservative down
- 29:42Speaker 4: there at all. Yeah, you can't walk around down there
- 29:46Speaker 4: at night. It's not like meant for that. That's why
- 29:48Speaker 4: you live in the North End because you can walk
- 29:50Speaker 4: around the North of Bend. There's like some speed bumps.
- 29:52Speaker 4: Remember you saw me headed towards you. I was anticipating
- 29:55Speaker 4: speed bumps in the road because they put speed bumps
- 29:58Speaker 4: so kis can't speed around here. It's dude, it's pretty
- 30:00Speaker 4: app well.
- 30:01Speaker 1: You were doing the You were doing the Willie wonkle walk,
- 30:03Speaker 1: is what you were doing.
- 30:04Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, No, there was speedbump though. I was waiting
- 30:07Speaker 4: to anticipate a speed bump that was coming up. Dude.
- 30:10Speaker 4: Remember I did that display. So I had like twelve
- 30:12Speaker 4: drinks and then it was kind of wobbly, but I
- 30:15Speaker 4: hadn't drinking like eighteen months. But I did really well,
- 30:17Speaker 4: so I was able to stay standing up. I outdrank
- 30:20Speaker 4: everybody at the event. I put everybody to bed.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Everybody because everyone kept buying you drinks. So that's why
- 30:24Speaker 1: everyone wanted to buy a drink, and so you get
- 30:26Speaker 1: a hammerd at the end of the night.
- 30:28Speaker 4: Well no, yeah, no, I was showing off. It was
- 30:30Speaker 4: like the halk Or who was another one Rick Flair.
- 30:32Speaker 4: That was the blindcotference moment. That was a big moment.
- 30:34Speaker 4: If anybody was there, they would have said that that
- 30:36Speaker 4: was a big display of drinking. And then I stood up.
- 30:39Speaker 4: I was better than everyone else. I would co hnent
- 30:41Speaker 4: the whole time. Everybody left, they went home. I got
- 30:44Speaker 4: all my stuff together and I walked home drunk through
- 30:46Speaker 4: Shane Gillis fans, which you know, I'm a fan of
- 30:49Speaker 4: Shane Gillis, just his fans and not meant to see
- 30:51Speaker 4: buying Scott wearing a cow Don. It was pretty fun though.
- 30:56Speaker 4: I mean, I was feeling no pain when I got
- 30:58Speaker 4: off that train. I mean, I'm I won't drink like
- 31:01Speaker 4: that again, but I could drink like that every night.
- 31:03Speaker 4: That That was like in that movie like Roadhouse. You
- 31:06Speaker 4: know what is it? The Will File movie Old School
- 31:08Speaker 4: where he's running naked down the street.
- 31:10Speaker 1: You know, oh yeah, you freaking We're going streaking, baby,
- 31:14Speaker 1: We're going streaking.
- 31:15Speaker 4: Hey, the thing, yeah, the thing is with that. So
- 31:17Speaker 4: I had that many drinks, so I had all the
- 31:19Speaker 4: alcohol in me, so I felt great. But you need
- 31:21Speaker 4: to get the alcohol out of you at you you
- 31:23Speaker 4: know what I mean. So I wish there was a
- 31:25Speaker 4: way to drink alcohol where you could inject it into
- 31:28Speaker 4: your veins because I had to like exit the alcohol
- 31:31Speaker 4: when I got home, and then that ruined. So it
- 31:32Speaker 4: was like just two hundred dollars worth of free alcohol
- 31:35Speaker 4: that I just emp to eat in the toilet. That
- 31:37Speaker 4: was not like my plan and it was a waste
- 31:39Speaker 4: of money that day.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, I told.
- 31:43Speaker 4: My mom like, you scared me wicked bad when you came.
- 31:46Speaker 4: That's why I haven't called, Like my mom. I was like,
- 31:48Speaker 4: could barely talk.
- 31:49Speaker 1: I how did I scare you? You were the one
- 31:52Speaker 1: that I didn't have a cane.
- 31:53Speaker 4: No, no, Like when you were giving me a speech,
- 31:55Speaker 4: I was like, Mom, like Ben was telling me like
- 31:57Speaker 4: not to do this and that and the other things.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'll give you. It was more of a
- 32:01Speaker 1: pep talk. It was like it was tough love. Scott.
- 32:03Speaker 1: You know, we we we're good now, right. We were
- 32:06Speaker 1: buddies now, you know, we worked it out.
- 32:08Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're good. Yeah. My mom said
- 32:10Speaker 4: she's glad you did that to man stuff. I was
- 32:13Speaker 4: having a high time processes, so that's why I've been
- 32:14Speaker 4: called in a while. But I love radio, so I
- 32:16Speaker 4: haven't done radio calls in like eleven days. So I
- 32:19Speaker 4: need to do these radio communications to throw a lot
- 32:22Speaker 4: better than everybody else on your show, because these calls suck.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Dude, you okay, all right, all right, you're repeating yourself.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Thank you, I go away. There's blind Scott amazing. We
- 32:31Speaker 1: made mostly through that call. So Pop talk dearon Fox.
- 32:35Speaker 1: That's a basketball player for San Antonio. He revealed that
- 32:38Speaker 1: Greg Popovich gave the Spurs a message after they lost
- 32:44Speaker 1: in a non competitive second half to the thunder back
- 32:48Speaker 1: in Game three. He said on the NBC postgame show
- 32:52Speaker 1: Daron Fox, he said, we lost Game three. Pop's been
- 32:55Speaker 1: around throughout the course of the season, but that was
- 32:59Speaker 1: the first time he walked into the locker room and
- 33:03Speaker 1: was like, nah, that's bs, that's not how we played basketball.
- 33:08Speaker 1: And obviously we had some choice or he had some
- 33:11Speaker 1: choice words for us. That was the first time all
- 33:14Speaker 1: season that he came into the locker room right after
- 33:17Speaker 1: a game and told us how he felt. That was
- 33:20Speaker 1: the quote from deeron Fox. I find this hard to believe.
- 33:22Speaker 1: In here's why. Greg Popovitch is a very frail man
- 33:25Speaker 1: at this point, and I find it hard to believe
- 33:29Speaker 1: that he just strolled into the locker room and just
- 33:32Speaker 1: read them the Riot Act. He's not been in very
- 33:35Speaker 1: good health. I hope that's the case. I hope he
- 33:37Speaker 1: did do it. I just the images I've seen of Popovich,
- 33:41Speaker 1: He's a really frail dude at this point, like he
- 33:43Speaker 1: can't get around very much at all. He's had a
- 33:45Speaker 1: lot of health problems that happens to us if we're
- 33:47Speaker 1: lucky enough to live long enough. He's had a lot
- 33:49Speaker 1: of issues, and it does not appear that he's able
- 33:52Speaker 1: to move around into a case where he can do
- 33:54Speaker 1: it now. Somebody wheeled them in and then he started
- 33:57Speaker 1: screaming at the wall or something like that. I could
- 33:59Speaker 1: believe that. I just don't imagine he's wandering in there
- 34:02Speaker 1: on his own and just railing on the team. I
- 34:06Speaker 1: find that an impossibility based on what I've seen a
- 34:10Speaker 1: Popovich around the show him and whatnot. He's not in
- 34:13Speaker 1: the greatest of condition. At this point. Now, SGA, that's
- 34:17Speaker 1: a basketball player, the MVP, former Clipper, and he was
- 34:20Speaker 1: asked about what happened in Game four, which went lopsided
- 34:25Speaker 1: in favor of San Antonio, and he says, these Spurs
- 34:28Speaker 1: quote punched us in our face early. Of course that's
- 34:33Speaker 1: not allowed. You're not allowed to punch someone. He can't
- 34:36Speaker 1: do that. There. Sga had a minus eighteen. We mentioned
- 34:40Speaker 1: some of his numbers. He did not shoot well and
- 34:43Speaker 1: did not do anything well in the game, and the
- 34:47Speaker 1: Spurs take advantage. Now, a lot of the chatter is, well,
- 34:51Speaker 1: the Thunder were shorthanded because they were without Jalen Williams
- 34:56Speaker 1: and aj Mitchell and those guys, and that's fine. However,
- 35:02Speaker 1: that's kind of how this works. San Antonio did not
- 35:04Speaker 1: have dearon Fox in game one and they were able
- 35:08Speaker 1: to win. So really like Alex Caruso was terrible and
- 35:14Speaker 1: McCain was bad, and those guys were supposed to step
- 35:16Speaker 1: up and they didn't step up. And so the fact
- 35:21Speaker 1: that the Thunder, I mean, you look at the you know,
- 35:23Speaker 1: inside the box score here in game four, they made
- 35:28Speaker 1: eighteen of forty one shots from the paint, which means
- 35:31Speaker 1: if my math is correct. Here they missed more shots
- 35:34Speaker 1: from the painted area than they made, which is supposed
- 35:38Speaker 1: to be the easiest baskets, right because it's right near
- 35:41Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, right near the basket. Yeah,
- 35:43Speaker 1: didn't didn't work out that well anyway. It is the
- 35:45Speaker 1: Ben Mahlor Show, as we are rolling on time now
- 35:48Speaker 1: for the who am I? Game? And this is where
- 35:51Speaker 1: we pretend to be somebody else as we call it
- 35:53Speaker 1: the who am I? Game? And we'll go to baseball
