  Speaker 2: and it's all about the playoffs and the NBA.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Yet again, how much.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Trouble are the Luka don sick Lakers in after getting
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: thumped in Game one by Minnesota. Looked like they were
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: playing a different sport. Also, mind sharing your point of
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: view on the Kawhi Leonard Clippers vibe after they lost
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: a heartbreaker in overtime in Denver and Caid Cunningham's Pistons
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: lost because of the lack of experience or did they
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: that's the popular story going around. We'll examine that and
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: more right now here. It is our number two, all
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: dressed up for a dud. Welcome in the beginning of
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: another hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are in
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the airmwhere as we stay in touch and provide the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: pulse of the night, there is still a pulse there
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: vast and nourishingly powerful microphones of fs are ammating live
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: from the bell as we ring the bell all night
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: long from the Fox Sports Radio studios. And I know
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: JJ in Renton loves to ring bells unless he doesn't.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: But here we are.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Hanging out together again this hour and our lead to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: begin the hour, we continue our in depth team coverage
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: from Pro bouncy Ball, Round and round and round. Now
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: we talked about the games that were played on Sunday.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Not too much to dissect there. Lopsided everywhere pretty much,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I mean nothing. They came down to the bitter end
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: in that. But we're gonna turn our focus what happened
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: on Saturday over the week, and we'll pick apart the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: games on Saturday. Get back to the conversation here. We'll
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: start out on skid row. That's where the Lakers found themselves,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: appropriately enough, because they played like they were on skid
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: row as the Minnesota tim.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Wolves mollywopped.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: That was a mollywopping is what it was by Minnesota
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: against the Lakers. A beat down in La La Land.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: How great was that to watch? How sweet was that?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: God? I loved it? Man was at a great game? Beautiful?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Need to package that, need that every day.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Can we get three more of those for Minnesota? Three
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: more of those games? Anthony Edwards did not lead the way.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: He was not the person driving the train, the locomotive. No, no, no,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: he was in the middle. It wasn't like a box car.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: He wasn't leading the way he did flirt with a triple.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: W had twenty two points and Jaden McDaniels mckmagic for
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: minunol so to twenty five points eleven of thirteen. He
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: took thirteen shots in a playoff game on the road,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a hostile environment with all those Hollywood celebrities there ready
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: to boo him, and he only missed two shots eleven
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: of thirteen, nine rebounds for the Minnesota basketball team. The
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Lakers were completely emasculated. How masculated was it for the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: pathetic Lakers on their home floor in game one of
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a playoff series? Even Magic Johnson, by his standards, unloaded.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Magic took to social media. Of course, he doesn't actually
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: use social media. What he does is he calls someone
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: who does know how to use social media and then
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: they put the message out verbatim. So he'll like say, hey,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: here's here's the deal. It's kind of like in court,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: you know, have that person with the typewriter. They're typing
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: out everything right there is, Magic calls some what up
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and they type it all out. So Magic ripped in
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: to the Lakers there they were the only home team
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to lose on Saturday in the playoffs, and they end
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: up losing that game by twenty something points. But Magic
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: said it was one of the Lakers' worst performances this season.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a bull take. Nobody else has that take.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: He said they were flat, they had no energy, and
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: they played like it was a regular season game.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: W Actually, if they played like a regular season.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Game, they would have won, because that's usually what they
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: did in the regular season.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: But wait, there's more.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Magic also took shots at podcaster JJ Reddick, who's pretending
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to be a basketball coach. Where's all those basketball media
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: guys that were licking Reddick's toes now after that game,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: that's my commentary, not Magic's. Magic said, coach JJ Reddick
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: did a great job all season, but he didn't do
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: a good job in Game one.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's that's harsh.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Magic wrote, the Lakers stood around on offense, played too
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: much one on one basketball, and he meeting Reddick, did
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: not did not make any necessary adjustments.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: All right, let us discuss the.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Question how much trouble are the Luca Huka Luka Doncik
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Lakers in after Game one of the playoffs. So I've
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: got nineteen nineties rock monster truck and torts, not torta torts,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: we're going to make a giant cookie. There's a box
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: full of giant cookies. This is a lemon lemon. We're
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: gonna make a lemon.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Cake cookie because that looks really good. All right, So
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: numb ber, I get a number.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Malar scale of concern, which is the measurement that
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: matters more than all other measurements.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Now it goes one to ten the Malar scale of concern.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna sit here and be some kind
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: of shock jock and say it's like a thousand.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: But on the Malar scale of concern, one to ten,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: with ten being you're cooked.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: You're cooked.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Seven point five seven point five for the Lakers. On
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the Mallard scale of concern, put that in your pipe
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and smoke it. Seven point five seven point five for
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the Lakers, you've already lost home court. Check all right,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Minnesota set the mood. It was like a nice candlelight dinner,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and they enjoyed themselves in your own arena.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: There for all the hype all the build up everything.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: You went out there and you pitdled down your leg
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: is what you did. You were flaccid, and the whole
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: world saw the whole world saw it right. It was
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: a surgical takedown. You should have stopped the game when
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: it was six to nothing. After that, all downhill, all downhill. Uh,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And it did appear. Now maybe this is just my interpretation.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: What do I know?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: It looked like Minnesota was playing at a different speed.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like the varsity versus the junior varsity.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Minnesota was just quicker. They were all over the place,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and it appeared they had extra players on the court
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: at certain points, like it's like there's just moving around
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: and the yin and the yang was poetry in motion
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to watch that. And then you had Lebron James out
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: there lumbering around. He took eighteen shots to get nineteen points.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So I didn't play in the NBA, but that blows
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: eighteen shots to get nineteen points. And the combo of
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Lebron and Luca turned the ball over nine times combined.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: And that was really one of the stories here, the
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: points off turnovers giving Minnesota easy opportunities.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: But all those pointing out that.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Hukah Luca Luka Dan took his first playoff game here
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: his kryptonite. When we talked about this during the course
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: of the season, all the Lakers are not a very
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: good defensive teams. Oh, everything's fine. They won I think
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: twenty of twenty four at one point. But here we are,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: playoff game, game one, and all of those critiques that
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: you said.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're just you're a hater, you know what you're
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like nineteen nineties rock out their limp biscuit.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: They were limp. They were limp out there on the court.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And the most staggering of all, most staggering of all statistics,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Minnesota was twenty one of forty two on three point
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: shots in game one.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: So, well, let's look down. It's not gradman there, Chuck well,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: but fifty percent.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: But when you dig even deeper, the nerds listen to
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the nerds.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: So the nerds broke it down.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Of the forty two three point shots that Minnesota attempted,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: how many of them were classified as wide open shots.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: You gotta guess, how about twenty seven of the forty
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: two wide open.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Meaning the only thing that will likely stop that shot?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: From going in is the air conditioning in the gymnasium.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: There's no defender in sight. It's you versus the man
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: versus ritten twenty seven wide open three point shots white open.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: A professional basketball team allowed another team to have twenty
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: seven wide open shots. All right, well, so well that's
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: a lot, okay, right? How many were classified as open?
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: How about fifteen classified as wide open? So you do
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: the math on that, that gets you to forty two.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: That means that there were There was not a single
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: three point attempt that Minnesota took that came against a
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: tight defensive presence by the Lakers. This is what we
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: were talking about. They blow, They're done, they are so
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: screwed the Lakers. Oh my god, that is a stagnation situation.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And the Lakers had it was playing eight on five.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: They had the referees yet again as they always do, right,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the NBA always looks out for the.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Lakers, and that couldn't even help them. It was eight
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: on five.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Minnesota won a game a on five eight on five, unbelieve,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Outside of taking the fouls late garbage time game over,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Minnesota was whistled for twenty one personal fouls. The Lakers
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: had six a plus fifteen foul advantage and a team
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: got blown out in their own gym. How much the
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Lakers sucks so much more? I mean, I can't put
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: into words how bad this team.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Is right now. Horrible. All right, I'll pitch you.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I will address the Komodo dragon of the room in
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the Mile High City, the Denver Nuggets, who barely came back,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: had to go to over time. The Nuggets sucked so
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: much they couldn't even get a shot up at the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: end of regulation. They could have won it in regulation.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: They're so inept the Nuggets. They couldn't get a shot
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: up at the end of regulation, but in the end
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: they did pull it out in over Zion. I mean,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: it really wasn't a case where the Nuggets played all
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: that well, we'll get to that in a second. But
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets of some people pointing out, well, Russell Westbrook
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: in a big three point shot, and of course I
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: guess they overlooked the fact that he didn't even get
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: a shot up at the end of regulation and all that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: But would you mind.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Sharing your point of view on the Kawhi Leonard Clippers
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: vibe as they lose Game one on the road in Denver.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: So surprisingly, the Clippers are actually in much better shape
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: than the Lakers are for multiple reasons. I can break
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: this down for you. I don't know if you know
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: ball or not, but I know ball, and we can
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: break this down. But if you think that the one
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: thing here the Clippers did and the Nuggets didn't really
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: beat them. The Clippers beat themselves. And when you beat yourself,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: that's easy to clean up. It's not like there's like
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the Lakers cannot think they're in good shape because Minnesota
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: just clocked them.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: The Timberwolves looked like they were playing a different sport
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: than the Lake.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: The Clippers. The Nuggets aren't even that good.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: It was because of self inflicted They did the old
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: plexical Buris thing here. They stopped driving the monster truck.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: They were driving the monster truck the grave digger. They
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: dug their own grave.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: In this game. And it wasn't because of a great
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Denver defense.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: If you know ball, you know that the Clippers gave
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the game away and just don't give the game all
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: you win. You're better than the Nuggets. Everyone knows that
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: you're better than the Nuggets. They're gonna win the next game,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Denver outscored the People's team by plus twenty because of
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Clipper mistakes Clipper turnovers. Kawhi Leonard had an egregious mistake
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: late in this game, but seven turnovers by him. He
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: hasn't had that many in four years, which is probably
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: seven games because he doesn't played that much. But you
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: take away the fact that the Clippers were eighteen points
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: better head on, meaning not points off turnt, straight up
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: without the turnt. With the self inflicted mistakes by the Clippers,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the Clippers outscored the Douggets by eighteen points.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Holy crap, they suck.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Then I just blow plus eighteen belly to belly, shoulders shoulder,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: face to face and ask for Russell Westbrook. Let Russ Cook,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: as they say in the NFL. I know this is basketball,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: but that's the guy you want. You want Russell Westbrook.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: You leave him wide open. And if this guy makes
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: more shots at the end of games, fine. The guy
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: sucks and everyone knows it. He's not a clutch player,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook. If he beats it, that's all right.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: He is the.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Worst volume three point shooter in NBA history. Russell Westbrook
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: and it's really not close. We saw him fail to
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: even get a shot up at the end of regulation,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: and we'll see how this goes. But love the clips.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Bet your mortgage, Bet your mortgage. Clips coming back Game two,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: that'll be going to the clips. Now, final point to
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: New York we go where Jalen Brunson scored thirty four
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: points and he was hobbling. Oh the drama. These guys
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: are all Thespians. Oh my leg's gonna fall off, My
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: arm's gonna fall off. Jaylen Russon had thirty four points,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: campaign had eleven of his fourteen in the fourth quarter.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: The Knickerbockers storm back down big. They come back twenty
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: one nothing run. How do you do? Twenty one nothing run?
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: And they rally get an eleven point win at the Mecca.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: There the crowd forming a mosh pit in Manhattan after
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the game. The long suffering nick fans do not know
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: that it's only the first round of the playoffs. Rather embarrassing.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: There you go, so first round. The Pistons. Their NBA
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: record losing streak goes.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: On and on and on.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Now, at fifteen games in a row, the Pistons have
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: lost in the plus last time they won a playoff
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: game was seventeen years ago, Game four of the Eastern
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Conference five Finals in eight So it's been a minute
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: since the Pistons won. Now there are factions of the
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: basketball media that have to write these nice little stories
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: on these pay websites, and then the general theme is
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: that the reason the Pistons lost that game was because
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: of inexperience.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: That they're not an experienced playoff.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Team and that's why they lost the game. And that
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: is to that, I say, nonsense. Did Cade Cunningham and
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the Pistons lose because they lacked playoff experience? I say,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: phoeye is what I say. Phoeie poey, foey fooy fooey
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: poey is what I say. Absolutely not Detroit. What they
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: did here, it had nothing to do with experience and
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: any of that stuff. They pulled the torts, not a torta.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: They pulled the torts. They sucked from head to toe
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter of that game. But it wasn't
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: because the Knicks were this amazing lockdown team. It was
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: not because of a lack of experience. The Knicks don't
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: have that much experience either. What do we do not
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: success When I think of kat Karl Anthony Towns from
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: his days in Minnesota, I think of him flopping around
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: the court as a loser in many big situations where
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: he vanished, for example and Detroit. One of the players
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: that was the worst of the worst, the most egregious
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: for the Pistons was Tobias Harris, who had a big
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: first half you saw the game, and then did almost
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: nothing after that. And that guy's played in over sixty
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: playoff games. So what's his excuse when he wrote the
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: vomit comet at the end of that game. So we'll
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: see what happens in that. But the Knicks twenty one
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: nothing run. Just don't check out for six seven minutes
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: and you're you're in fighting ship there right.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like to
• 16:41

  Speaker 2: basketball team's performances in Game one. I would love to
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: hear an average LA sports fans perspective and their level
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: of concern. So what does Lorraine now think of the
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Clippers loss and will they bounce back?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: No, you're not really worried about that, Loraina.
• 19:39

• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Game, they're done right, They're cooked.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Cooked, nobody watches the Clippers games. Loraino, oh please, everyone's watching, man,

  Speaker 3: freaked out.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: Worried everyone's going to leave the Lakers.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Clipper Yeah, he's like, this is so bad. Luca might
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: not even sign with the Lakers and extension. He might
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: just demand a trade. I can't I can't win with
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: these losers.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm sure the Timberwolves is gonna shoot fifty three
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: percent from.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Three point believe them, wide open.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Why would they not make say that one shot.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: He was past the three point line right now.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: We we're talking sports here.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: The Wolves are Holland, mister irrigation says, was that James
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Harden's greatest playoff performance ever? And it got wasted? He
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: still lost, just like he did in Houston.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Wall.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: You worry about your rock Cats there, mister irrigation. You
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: stay stay in your lane. You're worried about James Harden
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: and the Clippers. You got you worry about the the Rockets.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: They're lost at home and didn't show up in the
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: first half.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Of that game.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Let's call the phones Lasela. Andre, who's in the Commonwealth?
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Hello Andre, welcome, yes man, it's good.
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: To be with you on this Sunday morning. Now listen here.
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: Uh we had a situation with the Houston Rocket spend
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: none too pleased with how they how they comported themselves,
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: if I can use that word. How they came out,
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: went on the run to start the game in the
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: first quarter. Then it's all downhill from there. How do
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: you score thirty five points and a half in an
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: NBA game? What is it high school basketball?
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: And then you're down twenty plus in the second half.
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: You store them all the way back and then you
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: let playoff. Jimmy, all right, steal your hootzbut steal your confidence.
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: The Houston Rocket. I'm looking at this team, young Lions.
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: All of these draft picks are going to come out
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: show the Warriors whose boss. The Warriors didn't even bother
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: to start a center. They're out there with five guards
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: and forwards like Houston Rockets don't have an all star
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: center and stan goons.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, the Wars don't really have a center anyway.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think they have anyone that's halfway decent. But
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: you score and he scored thirty four points. By the way,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Andre not even thirty five thirty four points in the
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: first half, and you do that by shooting two of
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: twelve from three point range.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: That's how you do that, of course, Ben Okay, But
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: you know, again, we can talk about Oklahoma City and
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: mister Draymond Green, who I'm gonna get to in a second,
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: but talking about nobody respects Oklahoma City, Jay Gilgis Alexander
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: who's going to be the MVP of the NBA very soon,
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: just completely sidestep that, you know what I mean? Where
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: about the culture. We're about doing what we're supposed to
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: be doing. Then they go ahead and put a fifty
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: piece on the Memphis Grizzlies. But back to the Houston Rockets,
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: all right, the Memphis Grizzlies before they decided to scuttle
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: themselves and fire a capable head coach, they were the
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: number two ranked team in the West for a majority
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: of the years that it was one, two, three, Houston, Memphis,
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: and ok see, who's the clear cut number one. I'm
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: just I'm very disappointed in Houston with m a Udoka
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: and how they just came, you know, and all the
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: people saying that the Warriors, you know, and they're going
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: to turn things around. You know, championship team. I don't
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: buy that for one bit, but after what I saw
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: in that Game one, they can completely steal this series.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: Put themselves in the second round matchup against who knows
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: the Clippers, the Denver Nuggets. Two teams that are Nuggets
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: again got rid of a good coach. Clippers. They're together,
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: but they're not very talent.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: You could be looking at.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Way, not very talented. What are you talking.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: We're talking about the LA Clippers.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Not very talented.
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: Ben, Here's where it comes down.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Two Hall of famers in their starting lineup. They're not
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: very talent. And what do you know ball two hall
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: of famers in the starting lineup, James Harden and Kawhi
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Leonard are both going to Hall of Fame and they were.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: They were on an absolute burner at the end of
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: Yes, and here's why the Clippers aren't talented. I have
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: to explain it to people. I want Kawhi Leonard to
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: be healthy for this entire postseason.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: No, you don't, that's a lie. You don't want them
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: to be healthy. No, I do, and I don't believe
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: you want.
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: I want to see this team be successful, but I
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: know you got other callers. Here's what it comes down
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: to with the Clippers, and yet we haven't seen Kawhi
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: be healthy in the playoffs since the bubble. That's why
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: I can't trust this team. Do I want them to
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: make a run and do I believe in their culture?
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: Do I love to into a dome?
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: But Kawhi, I'm hoping this is the postseason since you've
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: been with Toronto, that you're healthy, but since we haven't
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: seen it since the bubble, I can't trust you. Back
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: to the Rockets and Golden State Warriors.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Well, you're all you're bouncing around here, do you all
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: all the play This is a bounds bouncy ball with Andre.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: We're bouncing around Andre.
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: Th conclusion, because you got you got people were waiting
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: to go here. Okay, the Rockets, it could have been okay,
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: see and the and the Rockets that we were looking for,
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: the two teams with young lions, young stars ready to go.
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: You're completely laid it done in the first round. You
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: pull me one, Shame on you. You pull me twice,
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: shame on me. I've lost trust for the Rocket and
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: that's just disappointing. And that's the spirit of this call Kawhi,
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: stay healthy. We'd love to see that.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: All right, just for the right there were somebody there
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: was like a Nugget fan, but your typical Nugget fan.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: He ran away, couldn't take the heat, so he was
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: on hold. But that's you know, what do you expect?
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Andre nature Boy Rights Since says the Lakers
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: loss was more more devastating than hearing about Lauren Sanchez
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: in the space.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: But I saw that at the end of the week.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Man, it's like, let's send Barbie Dolls up to space
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: and we're going to their astronauts.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: And it's what.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: It was so bad, such a thing.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I was trends worthy.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: And I just want to say, yes, she's up to
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: space for eleven minutes, and each takes time in front

  Speaker 2: If you're in the room with me. Do you understand that, Bill,

• 28:59
  Speaker 4: That's a technical It's.

  Speaker 1: Not a technical foul. It's in the course of the game.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: You just happen to be the wrong place of the
• 29:05

  Speaker 1: You can't do it, all right? Thank you? Bill? Go away.
• 29:15

  Speaker 2: Of good basketball knowledge right there. That's good basketball knowledge.
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: Yes, La, technical foul when you like, like, if you
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: like hit like yell at someone.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: What could be if you could get a technical foul
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: for yelling at someone? You could do that you could.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: You can technical foul if you there's different layers to it.
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: There's yours or your shoes on the course.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: If I was the official, I'll give you a technical foul.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: You'd be done. You'd be cooked, absolutely.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Anyway, So this this wild story, I don't I don't
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: know if we have enough time for it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: We'll do it right now.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: So years ago, if you're depends how old you are,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: there was a wide receiver coming out of Oklahoma State
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: named Justin Blackman. And this is one of those guys
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: built like a Donnas and was just like this.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Gonna be a great NFL player. And everyone's like, oh man,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be crazy, crazy good, crazy good.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: So Justin Blackman ended up getting drafted by Jacksonville and
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: he did not last long.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: In the NFL. He did not had had a few issues,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: had a few issues.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: In fact, despite being picked at the fifth overall size,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: they're going back a number of years to twenty twenty twelve.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: He only played twenty games in the NFL. He broke
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: into the league and was pretty good, not great, but
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: pretty good, and the expectation was he was going to
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: become a dominant figure and then he got in trouble
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: with substance abuse and he was done. He only played
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: twenty games parts of two years, and there was always
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: this great mystery around Justin Blackman, like what happened to him?
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Why didn't he come back and play football? What's going on?
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: It makes no sense. And then randomly recently there was
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: a mug shot that made the rounds that was released
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: of a person named Justin Blackman who was in some
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: trouble there in the state of Oklahoma. A mugshot got out,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: and it appears, unless this is a tremendous deep fake,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Justin Blackman has let himself go a little bit, let
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: himself go a little bit. The mugshot bearing the name
• 31:41
