• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to talk about the Nuggets. I do you want to
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: get to Jade McDaniels from after the game mos to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the Aves who won last night with here's where.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Here's where.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure you guys understand things, Brett. I'm gonna
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: try to help you understand. Continue on.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, I thought you were stopping me.
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: They win last night. They take a three zero series lead,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a chance to close things out Sunday for the sweep
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: against the LA Kings. It was a game in which
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you guys highlighted him on the broadcast, both Will Smith
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and uh, what's the other guy's name again, Chad? What's
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: his name?
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Will Smith?
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: And the drummer know Will Ferrell and Chad Smith?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, Will Ferrell. Yeah, but you get the win
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: in LA last night, and it feels like the same
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: game that you've played three times in a row, where
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the LA plays a really good game and it looks
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: it felt like the kind of game that they've wanted
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to play and the game that they played all year.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: If you're frustrated that it's like the after having difficulty
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: with them, well guess what they got twenty points from
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: just overtime losses throughout the course of the year.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: This is what they do and this is where this
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: is where if you're an Avalanche fan, you should feel
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: good because their coach DJ Smith said, those were the
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: two best periods we've played, talking about periods one and two,
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: the two best periods we've played this entire series. And
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: what was the score after two periods of play? It avalanche,
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: That is correct. Landy got fortunate with that. Paul grigisheting
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: off the boards, no doubt about it. The King's got fortunate.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: Wedgwood makes the same and it goes right into the
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: pants of Trevor Moore and in. But this is where
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: I want to help you guys understand life a little
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: bit better. And if you understand this, then you'll do
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: better in life. Nellie, listen up, please, Vic, I don't
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: know you're you're ticking anyway.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: We'll record this.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: When kil mccarr, Johnny Lyles broke it down so well,
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: but he backs up to the boards and makes it
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: as wide as possible in the zone because what that's
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: going to do it's going to force the Kings player
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: to come at him right, So he backs up to
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: give himself even more space and the pass comes across
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: from Tavees right D to D grabs the pass of
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: the boards, then starts moving up the blue line, forcing
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: that that defender out of where he wants to be,
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: and the coup part is two tapes. Then starts driving
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: toward the that is, he he sees Kale walking that
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: blue line. He starts driving for a back door. So
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: now the Kings have to respect a lot of stuff.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: And then of course you have guys stacked up in front.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: But watching Cale mccar walk that blue line and stickhandle
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: the way he does. We got this guy ben In.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: He lives actually in North Carolina, but he's the one
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: in real time with the company does all those computer
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: graphics on the ice y, you know, the circles and
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: all that stuff, and the squiggly lines and all that,
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: and you know the all the broken lines. He does
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: all that in real time, and he puts that squiggly
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: line on the puck right, and you see mccar is
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: serpenting and he's searching, and he's probing and he's looking
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: and then finally finds his spot and lets it go.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: I don't know how these guys do this, but I'm
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: telling you it's so high end for him to be
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: able to even see that portion of the net. It's
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: but it's ridiculous. But that's why he's cale mccar. That's
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: why he is the best on planning a earth.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: It's sick and it was a weird game because it
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: was a game in which Nathan McKinnon did not have
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a shot. Him and Martin h Is both didn't have
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: shots midway through the third period. Uh, some of the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: bigger news to come out of last night. You know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you get the win, you're up three to nothing, but
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Josh Manson did leave with an upper body injury and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: did not return going forward.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Man, Yeah, Vic, you're right.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: He's a tough ONMBRA and he's one of your biggest
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: hitters period, end of story.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: It was so awkward too.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Is Edmondson got him at the bench and bent him
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: over the dasher and you could see what body parts
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: did that look like?
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Brett?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Uh, Jesus, I got distracted by the way you set
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: that up. You ever, like, think about what you say
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: how you say.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: It, like getting the king.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: The dasher.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: By the kings.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: You got hit? How about that?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, answer your own question. I'm too distracted.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure what's the question.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I didn't think, Yeah, yeah, yeah, what body got hurt?
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: There?
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: To you motion, it looked like it looked like the ribs.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: To me, I mean, when you get strung, when you
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: get scrunched like that sideways that I mean, that looks
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: just awful, dude. And he the fact that he left
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: for the end of the rest of the first the
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: end of the first all intermission, and then did not
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: start the second on the bench, but then came back in,
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: took a couple of shifts and then left again. Something
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: is up for sure, and I hope it's just rest
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: that will cure it. Listen, I mean, I don't think
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: you'll play in game four. I mean, why would you
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: if you've got a three zero certain lead, put Nick
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: in there and try to try to close it out right,
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: But if you can win game number four on Sunday afternoon,
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: and the Kings know that they went in four straight,
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: so we'll.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: See how they react.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: But if you if you can win Sunday after noon,
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: you're gonna have a week off, dudes, a whole week.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Is there a chance?
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Is there a chance?
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: I don't and I don't know what the injury would be,
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: but I listen, this is the kind of time where Vick,
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: you get a horse needle like the one that that
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: stuffed Tyrod's lung and you just horse needle guys up
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: man whatever you go in there and puncture.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you go full pulp fiction about it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Right, Well yeah, better like you said, better to do
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: that than bend him over on the dashes.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Dasher mos so a lot of balls on the table.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: See once again that what you guys just said fried
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: my brain for a second. I forgot what I was
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: gonna ask you now.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got nothing.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Lance has a good point, Vic listen to me. That's
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: why he's kill mccarr and you're you.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, not a hockey player.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: I know. I just wanted to say it.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know anybody over on the desh okay, I
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: see you're gonna make me forget again. Stop Game four, Becau,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Because the Kings are down three to nothing, they already
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: play a really physical brand of hockey. Is there a
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: chance most that just becomes a a fest of jabbing
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and punching?
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: And I don't I would doubt it, Brett, because the
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: Kings know they they know what's up right. They can't,
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: by the way, they can't even if they have anyone
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: that you know, even thinks that they have a chance
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: in this series, that they can't go to the box
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: and they can't do silly things.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: And by the way, the Kings aren't.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Full of a bunch of ricks like other teams are,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean, they don't have guys who
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: just for the fun of it are going to you know, check,
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: They're not gonna they're not gonna.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Board you just to break your face up and laugh
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: about it. They don't. They don't have those kind of guys.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Who did that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: The year that that the as on the Cup, wasn't
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: there a team that knew that they were done for
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: and then just started Well.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: The edmintal oilers did it? I mean I've lost in
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: some dudes up. Yeah.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: So if you're the Kings, okay, going back to the
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: opposition and their mentality, you're down three nothing to the
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: best team in hockey? What what what do you say?
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: What do you do? I mean, you know the series
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: is over right, I mean you know deep down, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: so if you're not gonna admit it, so what do
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: you do?
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: I mean, you can you're pros you continue to play?
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, how how do you play?
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Because whatever you've done, I mean it's resulted in a
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: three hole?
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Do you just open it up? Now motions do if
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: we lose seven to one, then we lose seven to one,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: but we got to try and score.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe maybe that's the case.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but I will say this, this could
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: be the very last game of all time for andre Coepatar.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: You know, Ryker and I were talking about it last night,
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: and I'm watching Kobe play.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: He's not the Kopy of two thousand and eight. That's
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: not that's not who he is. But man, the guy
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: can still play the game. And I'm like, why is
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: he retiring? I mean, he's still defensively, he's a two
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: time Soki winner, He's still awesome that way. You know,
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: he's still got that Kope in there. But nonetheless, this
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: be the last game of his entire careers. Of the Kings,
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: they're gonna have something to play for. He's thirty eight
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: years old, he's been in the league for twenty damn years,
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: and they're gonna want to try to send him out,
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: you know, I don't know, with a really good effort,
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: I'm sure they will. And DJ Smith, I don't think
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: he's gonna have that job next year. Boys, I mean,
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: he's an interim guy after Jim Hiller.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Got fired.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: I don't think they're going to I don't think they're
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: gonna hire him to be the permanent head coach. Yeah,
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: but you know he's got pride too, and you know,
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: I think he does a good job.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: He used to coach the.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Ottawa Senators, and I don't know. I think they're gonna
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: give their old best effort. But the fact of the
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: matter is is that they played the two best periods
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: of their entire lives. Maybe you know the incarnation of
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: this team in periods one to two. Last night, we're
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: still down two to one.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Did you see I just saw this clip last night
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: as I was scrolling through Twitter, but it was the
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: TNT crew after the first period as are up one
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: to nothing, and they threw a question over to Gretzky either, like,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: you know, the Kings are still playing a pretty good game.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: What more can they do? And score?
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Like you can score?
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: And what can we can? We give some love to
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Scott Wedgwood, bro.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Fantastic.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: He's been great and by the way, have you seen
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: the way his offense wasn't there this year nor does
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: it need to be. But there's a reason that Von
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Taves is a top five guy. And plus minus every
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: single year. His defensive play is sue perb He's got
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: one of the best sticks in the game. His positioning
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: is always great. I mean, this is a guy who
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: thinks the game an incredibly high level. Davon Taves has
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: been a badass. I don't want to give him the love.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: When we come back, all right, you go on and on.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: When we come back, I want to hear from Jaden McDaniels,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: all right, because we haven't done that yet. We haven't
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: done that yet, unless unless Joe, unless Moser wants to
• 13:03

• 13:12

  Speaker 3: One of the worst, if not well, I don't even
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: know where to rank this in terms of bad playoff
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: performances for the Nuggets. I've seen worse. I mean, the
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: worst performance was Game seven, twenty twenty four at home.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: That was the worst.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Last night may have been one of the top three
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: disappointing performances in Nuggets playoff history. Brett's back. Would you say, Nelly,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: what's the keyword? Just?
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, I got I got it. It's all right. Sorry,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I was taking care of something. The Nuggets are in

• 15:08
  Speaker 3: All right, but as healers, you guys weren't here. Let
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: me let me continue, please, I'll I'll take it from here.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: One of the most disappointing efforts I would call it
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: by a Nuggets team I've ever seen publicly called out
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: by an opposing player and then that opposing player just
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: goes off while you as a team can't do anything
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: about it, not only not doing anything about it, refusing
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: to really do it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Can't, can't isn't the right world?
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: You didn't refusing to do anything about it. So let's
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: start there. We all know what Jaden McDaniel said after
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: game two. We all know what the Nuggets said back.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Not much. Here's what Jaden McDaniel said after the game
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: Oh no, they were like just playing Denver really motivations.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: That's enough for just playing against them. We don't really
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: care what they say. Just the number in the name
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: across the chest make us.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, So he says, the Nuggets motivate them. I'm gonna
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: ask everybody listening right now, what motivates the Nuggets?
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Vic, that's you know, I was thinking
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: that same thing. God, am I glad you brought that up,
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: So he says, and he backed up his his mouth,
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: he words and calling everybody out. After game number two,
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: he says, just seeing the Nuggets motivates us because they've
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: been such.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Rivals for yeah, for some years now. So what Moti, well?
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: What what? Yeah? What? What's what is it the Denver Nuggets?
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Is it cattle prod? What is it?
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Brett?
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Brett?
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: What motivates the Denver Nuggets right now? They want a championship.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: They did something Minnesota hasn't done. By the way, Minnesota,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: before you start smelling your own farts, you haven't done crap.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: All right, you may own Denver right now, but you
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: haven't won a championship. Denver has. They've got the rings
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: you do not.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: You know what I just thought about, Vic, when you
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: what motivates the Nuggets. I know there's a couple of
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: people on this on this team, and I think look
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: more than a couple probably that they will take issue
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: with what media members say about them. I've seen Jamal
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: get sniffing Vic. I know a story with you and
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: somebody on the team. They got been out of shape.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: And you know what if I call them out and
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: they find that as a source of motivation, you're welcome.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: But but how is that the case in somebody that
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: they're playing against? Does it to them and that's how
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: they respond?
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I don't understand what is that. I guarantee you this.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: They may be more upset with what I've had to
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: say today than what Jaden McDaniel says.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy to me, Like that's insane. This Like
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I can't emphasize this enough. This man challenged not your ability,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: he challenged your character unless you believe him. Well, there's
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: no way they believe that. There's no way, But you
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: get your character challenge defense is calling you out for
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: being soft. It's an effort thing. It's who you are
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: as a person, not a player. Right, And you go
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: out and you put up an eleven point quarter, and
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: the first minute of the game, we'll end the show
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: where we started the show. The first minute of the game,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: the guy who called you out goes in for an
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: alley oop and he and onons it because it's a
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: weak foul. There is no weak foul in that scenario.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Not the mindset going into that game. And there's where
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: it lies. The mindset. Do you want to blame the
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: coach for not having the proper mindset? Knock yourself out.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: That's where we respectfully disagree with each other. We agree
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: to disagree if you think the coach establishes the mindset.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Not in the NBA, folks, I've been around the NBA
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: long time. It's a players league. It's a player's mindset.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: A coach can say whatever the hell he wants to
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: say before the game, but a player decides how he's
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: going to react. If the mindset going into that game
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: is well, we'll just buckle down and play hard.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: That ain't gonna work.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Hey, that guy who called you out is driving to
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: the basket. He's right there, and you let him do
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: whatever he wants to do. That's on you, the player.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: When I heard this from Jamal in the post game.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's tough.
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: You know, nobody on the team's making shots, including myself.
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: So I just think, you know, the first quarter, we
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: gotta have a better start to the game and you know,
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: set ourselves down on the road and nugget, you know,
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: because they played with a lot of adrenaline. The crowd
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: was into in the first quarter, and I felt that
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: we were just playing a little too fast. And you know,
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: after that quarter the score was pretty even, maybe quarter
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: to quarter, but you know, that first really hurt us.
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: We couldn't recover from that. So it's gonna be better
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: to start the game and uh with a more calmer mindset,
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: especially on the road.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: That sounds like an answer that that comes in January
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: after a game that you played not very well and
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I don't like how a lot of them went to well,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: we didn't make shots tonight. It wasn't about the shots.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: And the whole the last part of that, the calmer mindset.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: You were too calm.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: This this whole zen approach that the Nuggets take. Maybe
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I'm the anti I don't get it.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: It's one of the things that drove me. I don't
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: understand it about Phil Jackson. It's called the Zen Master
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: or whatever. I'm like watching Jordan play, he didn't didn't
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: look for zen. He looked pretty intense at Kobe didn't
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: play with zen when Phil Jackson was coaching him. He
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: played pissed off like he.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Played, He played angrily. His his game looked angry. His
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: game had a specific purpose and intent Kobe's game and
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: really nobody's got any I mean, when you don't come
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: out with purpose or intent in a game like that,
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: it's again, Vic, It's more just disheartening than anything else.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: I'm not mad. I'm just disheartened.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Listen, and if any of the players, and I know
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: they're going to be mad with how we're reacting, right,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: they're gonna say, oh, the overblown it, We're be But
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: let me say this, if the players are unwilling to
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: defend their own honor, why do you want me defending
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: your honor?
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: If you can't do.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: It yourself, and you were what what am I supposed
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: to do? What are we supposed to say?
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And I know that it's funny. There's this promo
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: that that's been running over and over again for the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: last couple of weeks, and it's when McKinnon was in
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: studio with Tyson Barry and Lindall was talking about how
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: the Aves are like the one team that really still
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: pulls at his emotional strings, like he freaks out during games.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: It was describing it, and Tyson Barry said, means should
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: see somebody for that, And I'm like, I know these
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: guys get confused about why fans take their games so seriously,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: but it is. It has felt a couple of different
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: times this year that the fan reaction to a Nuggets
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: performance and the Nuggets reaction to a Nuggets performance are
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: so vastly and wildly different. But you know what fans
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: have accused. I've seen it on the text line, saying
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: why do I feel like I care more about this
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: than they do?
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Well, who's been after after the McDaniels comments. I'll ask
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: you a simple question, is rhetorical? Actually, who has been
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: more vocal about McDaniels than what he said. Is it
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: the media, the fans, or the players themselves.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: It's been the media and the fans.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what did the players said, what what did they
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: say when given.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: The opportunity to they downplayed? They downplayed all of it?
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: They don't and what did they do? Not just say?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: What were their actions?
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: The zero reaction?
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: How did that work out? How'd that work out?
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Not? Not good at all? But Vic, let me let
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: me tell you.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's on us, and and this is where I'm
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: getting at. I truly believe that the Denver Nuggets could
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: win not only this series, but win a title. I mean,
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: I think they were good enough, or I think there
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: are good basketball team. But you know what, that's on me?
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: Maybe I you everybody is overestimating how good they really
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: can be. Maybe deep down inside they know that they
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: can't and they're just behaving. That's the way it is,
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: just the way it is. I mean, there's there's a
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: there's a part of me that that, yeah, now now
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: that I saw that last night, but you're talking about
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: getting information, there's a part of me that believes that
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: they don't believe they can do.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Can I take that a step further and I want
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: everybody just to sit back and listen, because listen closely,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: because I'm going to be accused of making excuses and
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: that's not what I'm doing. There is no excuse for
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: that performance last night. None. I want to make that
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: resoundingly clear. No excuse for not cracking back at somebody
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: who called out your manhood. I want to make that clear.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: But I want you to consider something because Niccola Jokic
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: said it. He said he had the feeling that Aaron
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Gordon wasn't going to play in that game two days ago.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: I wonder how much of them are resigned to the
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: fact that they know Aaron Gordon is never going to
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: be Aaron Gordon, and they know that they're not going
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: to climb the mountain without him, and they know that
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: any effort is just temporary because they can't get to
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: where they hope to get with But that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Being said, even last year in Game seven against OKC,
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: with mpj's on and falling off and Aaron Gordon limping
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: around because that's all he could do, they still tried to.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: They still showed.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I understand, but deep down most I think most I'm
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: going to tell you something the Aaron Gordon situation, and guys,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: what did I tell you? I hate to go here
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: back in August? What did I say was the biggest
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: concern for the Denver Nuggets this season. What did I say?
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Hell?
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: But who specifically? I said it back in August, I said,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: this season hinges on one player. And I'm not trying
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: to put it all on him because you can't do
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: anything about But if your body betrays you, it betrays you.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: It's not his. It's not a character law, it's not
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: a training flaw. It's it's no one's fault, all right.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: I'm not blaming anyone. It's just the way it is.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: He's he's got CAF and hamstring issues, back issues. He
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: didn't play last night. What makes you think that suddenly,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: snap of the finger, he's going to be right for
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: the rest of this playoff runt?
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: You know, the writing's right there, Phil. We can't lie
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: about it anymore. We can't mask it, we can't pretend.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: There's no pretending he's not right. Julius Randall outplayed him
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: in game two, Correct, he wasn't right?
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Brett, Brett.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: I I don't want to go here yet because you're
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: only down two games to one. But is it possible
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: that we got in a fight with an entire country
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: for nothing?
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: He's not even trusting you know val like last night
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: and a lot of people texted me, my buddy, why
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: don't they play Valve? Why don't they play val Well?
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: I mean that speaks volumes. They didn't even put them
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: on the court, speaks volumes.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what we got in a fight with
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: an entire country. We had their navy sailing to our shores.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: But Baikos, you can play him, dude, you can play him.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Dude, it would do you think that would have made
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: a difference last night?
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, out of all the guys in
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: this roster that might have some attitude to him, maybe
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Jonas has the most. And that's what were you missing
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: last night? You know, it's basically what him or Bruce.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Who else would it be? If we're talking about soft mentality,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: not fighting back. I've seen Jonas get physical with people before.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I've seen it. And Adaman said, I wanted to go
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: with the smaller lineup because we weren't making shots, so
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I wanted to put shooters out there. Well guess what
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: you shot thirty four percent.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Now we're reaching. Now we're reaching. We're reaching about who
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: to play. I mean, the guy who played instead of
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Jonas how did he playe? Wait, hold on, hold on?
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Play?
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: Well?
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: He played well?
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Game yes? So so Zeke played well?
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Yes? Did Zeke play better than Yonas did in game two?
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, So what's the problem here? It's not a Yonas Valentnis.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Pot hell on? This is what happens with I know
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: this is like so low on the power rankings of
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: things going on with the Nuggets. But just for the
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Valentinis argument, Christian Brown was awful last night. Yeah, and
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Cam Johnson was awful last night and they're still in
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: the starting lineup playing twenty five thirty minutes a night.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yonas can go out there for a few minutes and
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: see if he can give you something. Maybe he can
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: give you something physical down low, because you had none.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Event But now you're just looking for blood. You're looking
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: just for someone to get.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: If that's no what I'm saying, get buckets on layups
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: instead of taking a thousand jumpers and missing.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Well, why didn't you do that in game two?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Because he played three minutes?
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Why didn't you do in game one?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Wait, he didn't play in game two? Did he he
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: didn't play? No, he didn't play in game two. Played
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: in game one for three minutes.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: He played Game two. He played terribly in Game two.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: On a second let me see.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Files right away, didn't he He he played three.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Minutes in the game to you at three minutes, that
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: was the game that he played three minutes.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: All I'm saying is everybody thinks there's a magic formula,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: that there's that one No, that doesn't fix that one player.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I strongly disagree with all of you guys. There's not
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: that magic formula. It's a cohesion thing.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: It's a belief.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I believe that once the Nuggets found out Aaron Gordon
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: was out, and they know deep down that Aaron Gordon
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: is not going to be Aaron Gordon. I think part
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: of it is they know.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: They know, they.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Know, just quit then just don't play. What are we
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: doing then, like go out and put effort out there
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: like that? That's even more frustrating if that's the case.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Let's know, they played with effort. I mean, that's you're
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: taking it too far. They they played with effort. They
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: didn't play the right kind of they played with effort.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't see a lot of it.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Last Oh, I disagree with you. Now now you're you're
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: getting a little crazy.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Here they weren't.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: I mean played with effort.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Zike played with effort. He was the one that was
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: flying all over the floor. He was doing that. You're
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: allowing straight line drives, You're allowing guys to dunk on
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: you late in games.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: What is that? It's just it's a shame because the
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: way this this team is built, it's a shame that
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: all of those hopes and aspirations really come down to
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: one player. I mean, it doesn't have to be a
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: g It could be Jamal, it could be Nicola. I mean,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: where where do I draw the line there? I mean,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: like if a player is unable to play again. Peyton
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Watson hasn't played in the playoffs at all, and he
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: didn't look close. By the way, for those who think,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: oh Peyton Watson's gonna put on the cape and rescue them,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: he hasn't even participated. Guys, He's just shooting around and
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: he's not playing.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: What's going on with him?
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: He's not playing. Do you do you think Aaron Gordon
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: from CAF tightness and labeled out in a key game
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: is suddenly gonna pop up sud Saturday and be one
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: hundred percent? Are you crazy?
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: No?
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: But here's what you can do. Okay, AG's out. How
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: much money is Christian Brown making a year? Well, the
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: contracts in next year, I mean I know, but it's signed,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: so it's thirty a year.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: No, it's like, uh, I think it's twenty or twenty
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: five mili.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: No, it's more than twenty, dude, I'll look it up.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: It's twenty or twenty five, one of the two. That's
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: what it is.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I need more than two, bro, Yeah.
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: More obviously five year, you're right, big five year, one
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: twenty five, so that's twenty five per Yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: So the issue is in a game like that, and
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: that's why everybody who wants to blame the coach and motivation.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: This is the same coach who carried a roster in
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: the month of January with they were minus two centers.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: They're a minus joker, they were minus cam and they
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: went ten and six. They went to Philadelphia with their
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: top seven players out and beat Philly. They beat San
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Antonio and the season ender with a bunch of G leaguers. Yeah,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: they played hard yees, the players. It's a players league.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: The way you play, how hard you play, how intense
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: you play, it's intrinsic.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Reminder to you guys. You want to get the building
• 31:23

• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I feel a little guilty this morning because the Avs
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: just took a three to zero series lead and they're
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: taking care of business the way that they're supposed to.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: And it's been a lot about the Nuggets. But I'll
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: just oh how about that.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Come on, I'm not guilty about that. The series for
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: the Avs is over. We know they're gonna win. There, listen,
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: it's over. You know me, I'm an equal opportunity talker.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: What is there to say?
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, vic vic to finish that. What I
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: was gonna say was I feel guilty because they won
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: their game last night and they're they're doing what they're
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: supposed to be doing, and the Nuggets did not last night.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing, Mos, We're gonna have weeks of
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: AVS talk here. We're gonna have weeks of that still
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: to come.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: And if the Nuggets hope so Bro, I hope so No.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: No, but I'm just saying we will, and if the
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Nuggets continue to do what they did last night, we're
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: gonna have a couple more days of Nuggets talked.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: You know, somebody brought up a good point on the
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: text line, moj We're here saying, hey, you know, maybe
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: the Nuggets just you know, the injuries, a g out,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: Peyton Watson out, and they just last I checked, the
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Lakers are without two of their leading scores. They're without
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: the leading score.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Of the NBA.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they just smacked the Rocket some two games.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah. The Rockets suck. The Rockets suck.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: I understand the Rockets, you know. And everybody's talking, well,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: maybe maybe Denver would have been better off facing Houston. No, No,
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I'm glad it worked out this way. I'm glad it
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: worked out this way. I'm glad you're playing Minnesota, and
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you're at this point, because why bother going
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: through this whole process, right, why bother going down the road?
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: You want to reveal who you are?
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: Now that's okay, Vic, Now that that you just said
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: the word, you took it right out of my mouth.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: So far, through three games, a lot has been revealed,
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: and not just injury wise. I think last night, the
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: start of that game, after what transpired after game two,
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: a lot was revealed.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: They still have time to reveal some good stuff. They do.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: The Denver Nuggets still have time to reveal some good
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: stuff in game number four and bring this back home.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: Tiede hold you know you're just holding served. I agree,
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: but would.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: You be banded? But at this point, at this point,
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: I would Vic, Yes, at this point I.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Said this earlier and you guys pushed back on me
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: when when it looked like nungess, we're gonna face Okay,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: see in the second round, I said, you know what,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: just bring it. Either gonna do it or you're not right.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would get away from.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Either you're gonna play like a champion or you're gonna
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: lose and let's figure it out.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: You know, a lot of it is also on you know,
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: stay fresh, keep guys healthy. Well, you know what, if
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: you can't stay healthy, it's gonna happen. Now, it's gonna happen.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Label What does it matter?
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: What does it matter? Raymond Green said it best and
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: maybe why he's the South sicker. If you're gonna lose
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs, just get it out of the way early. Yeah,
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: he get.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Out of the wakes.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: But all the time he's like, I would rather have
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: an extended off season if I'm not winning a championship
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: then getting to the Western Conference.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: Well, he's certainly having plenty of extended off seasons now eighty.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Well most she couldn't wait. He was in that last
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: playing game he had to get ejected in the last
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: time him thrown out early, early, start even earlier?
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Correct?
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Can I read a text? And I don't know how
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: many times I'm gonna answer this question today. I just
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: don't know how many times I've tried it. And it's
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: my fault. I haven't defined it properly. I haven't given
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: it maybe enough of a proper explanation. When it comes
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: to coaching. Do I believe that David Adelman deserves blame
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: for the way they performed last night? You're darn right
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: he does. He deserves the share of the blame. They
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: all do. Do I believe David Adelman is the reason
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: that the Nuggets did not defend their honor. No, he's
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: not the reason.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's on the players.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Do you understand the difference between the two. Here's a text. Hey, Vic,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: if this is a player's league and a player's game,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: what exactly do we need coaches for? Then coaches have
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: to get the most out of the roster. Coach is
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: responsible for team outcomes at the end of the day.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I don't disagree with that one bit. I don't disagree
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: with that one iota. Here's where I do draw the line.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: If there's a player on the opposite team that called
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: you soft publicly, and he's driving to the lane and
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: you have a chance to remind that player you're not soft,
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: and you respond with the soft foul? Is that on
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: the coach of the player?
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I need to tell you that, MOS. When in Game
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: one against the Kings.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: Hey well yeah, well listen, when when Austin Matthews gets
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: blown up, gets his leg blown up and this do nothing?
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: Is that on the coach or was on the players?
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: When when cal mccarr somebody took or was it mccarr
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: or was it naked? When somebody took a run at him?
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Who responded?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Bennard didn't have to tell Koulak, go jump on that guy.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Kulak went and jumped on the guy exactly. He's like,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: this is not acceptable. I'm gonna show you why.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Exactly if you've ever played team sports and you see
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: a teammate get sabotaged or something, and you have another
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: teammate who that I don't see it on this team.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen it all year in Oklahoma City when
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: lou Dort was beaten on on Joker, did anybody do anything?
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: No? Nothing?
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Do you guys remember did the Nuggets do anything?
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: No? They did nothing.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: Vic you're my friend, You're my bubby, Bubby, Bubby the
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: rest of this day until tip off tomorrow.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Well, you're gonna be okay, Bud. What are you gonna
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: what are you? What are you gonna do? You're gonna
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: do this?
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: I slept great last night. You know people think people
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: think you sleep bad after a last night. I didn't
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: because I learned what I needed to learn.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, but how much you're gonna dwell on this?
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Don't don't make this occupy your brain most.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: You're completely misreading.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: This is not good.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: I'm spewing truth this morning. If anything, it's therapeutic for
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: me because I'm telling you how I feel. But trust
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: me when I say this, this is not as like
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: I've had different Nuggets games where I I've had like
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: the Lakers loss. Right, remember that game and I couldn't
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: sleep Yep, that one troubled me because I didn't know
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: what I was seeing yet I know what I'm seeing now,
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: I know what it is. I'm good.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: It ain't and this ain't it.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Tell you what. There's a world that exists that very
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: well could happen tomorrow with the Nuggets win by twenty.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: And it's gonna confuse me even more, you know what
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, Like they could easily could happen. It could.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: I've told you, and I want to ask the listeners
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: this too. See if you think like I do, the
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Nuggets can win tomorrow night, they could win this series.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: I would still be mad about how they played and
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: responded last night.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: This will be the most memorable game.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know why that is. I don't
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: know why I'm wired that way. I don't know if
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: you are, but I'll ask you if the Nuggets win
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: and go on to win this series, which at this point,
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta be honest, it's gonna take a lot.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: I still am concerned with the manner in which they
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: approached last night's game.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Mark my words, mark my words. The winner of Game
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: four wins this series. Let's get to the winner of
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: the man who's going or woman who's going to Game
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: five at ball Arena?
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: And that is all right.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Here's the text I got from Nelly. I swear to god,
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: the guy who won the ticket is Landon Harmon, the
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: goat Milker.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: No way, this is the guy that sent us photos.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: So you put it in the randomizer, and the goat
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Milker guy is the guy who's going to the game.
• 39:29
  Speaker 10: Yes, just random draw completely random from our text message system,
• 39:33
  Speaker 10: and it went to.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Mister Milker Landon. Just so you know, I sent those
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: photos to hr of you fondling goats because I was
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: not too keen to seeing that stuff.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't just send that to our text line. Bro,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: That's that's not can't do it. Uh, congratulations the land
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: and you're going to game five? How about a palate
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: cleanser from the Nuggets talk our favorite part of the week, drunk.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Takes Orger Lombardi and Kane drunk Takes for the record,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: I think this sort of dehumanizes us and it really
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: cracks out our credibility to the show.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Drunk Takes.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Drunk Takes are clips from throughout the week. We slow
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: him down to half speed. It makes it sound like
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: we're hammered.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: And Nellie reason, if you gotta grow, I got growing? Okay, okay, good.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: Nellie, Steve, you're really late to put your head up.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: Okay though, yeah, okay, you just think about it.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: You're a little a little too late on that one.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: You were a little Nelly, a growing guy over here.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: What's next?
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: So, so to these people that.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: I hate when people say that.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: When they sit what I kind of forgot what I
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: was going to say.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: That was my preemptive strike because after Game two there
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: were people saying, oh, you guys are too negative. Well
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: now what.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: It's a great impression. I come across people who speak
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: like that all the time. Yeah, all the time. What's next?
• 41:24
  Speaker 9: Way, just because these games have been tight and close
• 41:29
  Speaker 9: and grindy, grind grinders and grind grind out gauge a grander.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: Just because they've been Sorry, sorry.

• 42:55
  Speaker 4: Okay, you do me one.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: More time, one more time?
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Most I mean this.
