  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports

  Speaker 1: Radio ninety two to five and on the Altitude Sports
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Radio app.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Dude, that was as much one word answers as I've
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: heard Nicola Jokic in his history addressing the media. He
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: was mad. Who's he mad at? In order? In order?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: In order? Probably himself himself is number one. Himself, that's
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: number one. I could tell his team that's number two.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: McDaniel's number three. That is correct, and I completely agree
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: with that order. Wait, sometimes when you're mad at yourself
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: and your team, somebody has to pay the price for that,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and that somebody was in that situation. Jane mcdown's with people.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: As a doctor of psychology, I can tell you exactly
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: what's going through his head because I've been there. You're
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: so angry and frustrated with how you're playing and the
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: result of the game, You're gonna do something about it,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and that something is to sprint the length of the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: floor and take it out on some dude who took
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a shot who was ill advised. But at the end
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: of the day, okay, whatever, But that was him being mad,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: but you didn't punch him out of it. It's funny.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: That is funny about the McDaniels thing. I've seen guys
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: do that this year. I've seen guys get cheap buckets
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: at the end of the game that don't matter, and
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: you don't always get a reaction like that.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: But this one does. And you know why it does,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: and we don't have to go through the history again
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and why it does. It's because Tim, because it's Tim,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and he's done it before and he continues to do it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Do you do hear what Barkley said about Adaman on
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Inside the NBA.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I think Coach Adaman has done an awful job really
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: hepping the Joker because the reason the kid from Minnesota's
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: doing great, they're attacking Joker in the pick and roll.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: So if you go back and look at all those
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: plays we showed, they're attacking Joker. But I don't like
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: what Coach Adaman is doing with Joker. Jokers is not
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: a post up guy to go one on one. He's
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: got to do a much better job putting Rudy in
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: the pick and roll because remember when those other teams
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: play against Rudy, they attack him in a double team
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: in the pick and roll. So I think coach Adaman
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: got to stop just trying to get a ball to
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Joker because that's not his game. But put him in
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: the pick and roll and attack Rudy and that'll have
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: to Joker free up because he's not free at all
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: right now, because even when he's making a shot, it's
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: really difficult.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's here's my take on what Chuck said. If
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I'm David Adelman, my message to the locker room to
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: fix this offense. First and foremost, Number one, Jamal stop
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: dribbling so much. Yeah. Number two, Cam shoot, Christian shoot.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: The offense automatically bogs down and goes to Joker because
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: guys aren't shooting. Am I the only one who sees this? No,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: you're absolutely correct. I just you know what.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go back to something that we've mentioned earlier
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: in this series, but it is frustrating to me. You
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: spent the offseason making a pretty major change. Michael Porter
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Junior was considered a core piece of this team, made
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of money. You make the trade. We all
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: understand why. I don't think they were wrong for doing it,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: but you do that to open up space to acquire
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: more depth. Right, That's the point is that we open
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: this up and now we can go deeper into our rotation,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: especially when the games matter the most and you've fallen
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: into the same habits. It's almost like the reason for
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: the trade is now Nolan void because you're going back
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: to a seven to eight man rotation. And I'm telling you,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I saw this in game three. I'm I want to
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: play guys who are playing hard Zeke Najy, especially with
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: ag being hurt right now, I think deserve to get
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: some sort of time. Yeah, and I know you love
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Spencer Jones because he's defensive intensity and all that stuff.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Spencer Jones has played like ninety minutes in this series
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: and has eleven points and you can't score right now.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: So you want to see a deeper rotation.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Play Valentnas see if you can get some benefit for
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: him being on the post, like do something and you
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: can say, well, Valentiunas was bad the last time he
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: was there. So have a bunch of guys in this series.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: They've been bad.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you an important question. Because they are
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: on the brink of elimination, there is no room for air.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Is the time to do that now? Well, Vic, yes, okay,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: you want to continue to play bad question you've got
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: You've got nothing to lose tonight, nothing. You have everything
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to lose if you lose, understood.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: But my okay, hang on a second, I get what
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: you're getting at. Maybe we first try to see how
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: it goes, and the past history is not a very
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: good indicator because Ant went out and Evincenzo went out
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: and then Oggets got worse in Game four.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: How oh, I don't know.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: Credit Minnesota for sucking it up without two of their
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: best players, including their entire backcourt, and they sucked it
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: up and they still won the game. So maybe you
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: see how it goes tonight from the get go without
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: those guys in the lineup from Minnesota and then all
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: bets are off. Well, Vick, I'm willing to try anything
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: at this point. Zeke put him back in whatever it takes.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: It's it's amazing to know that a role player, a
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: bench player for the Minnesota Timberwolves is one of the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: main reasons they're up three games to one. He scored
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: twenty five iodusumnu twenty five in game three, forty three
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: in Game four. Yeah, if I were to look at
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: box score and say, God, who scored twenty five and
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: forty three. I'd say, oh, yeah, that was ant and
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: did that Nope, you look at that box closing a backup.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: I mean he didn't really rebound the ball. He didn't
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: certainly didn't pass the ball talking about to Sumnu.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: But he didn't miss either.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: But boy did he make every damn he didn't miss. Yeah,
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: he made every damn thing he threw to the reing.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: He outscored the Nuggets bench by himself. Yeah, he made
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: everything he threw to them. He was getting more and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: more confident. Every time he went to the hole. They
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: couldn't stop him. He shot threes, he was five for
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: five from three. They couldn't stop him. When a guy
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: is that hot, that red hot, that's another case putting
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: him on the ground. See, what is this fair to say?
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Is it fair to say that if the Nuggets don't
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: win tonight, I'm just talking about tonight, then they.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: They just gave up.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no reason for surely they're a big favorite.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: That doesn't seem if the Nuggets lose at home tonight
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: in front of their home fans, playing the team that's
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: missing its entire backcourt. A team that is a ten
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and a half point underdog exactly must win seasonal land
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: if you don't. If the Denver Nuggets were to lose tonight, yeah,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: they gave up.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: I mean there's no way to soon we can get
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: off again, is there? Because when you look at Game four,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: I mean Jaden had twelve points, Rudy had four, Randall
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: had fifteen. And by the way, Randall, he's a tough player.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: All goes far to say is this? You know they
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: they they could very well force seven games and lose.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: The Nuggets need to win this year. I've never seen
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: a series where a team that's down three games to
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: one it's still a fifty to fifty seis it? Absolutely,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: it's right there, it's right there.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Given a gift, You've been given a gift of injury
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: to the opposition, and you always.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Hate to see that, right, I mean, two guys may
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: come on the defense, Vincenzo injury was hate that being said.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: In Games three and four, the Nuggets have not even
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: remotely looked like the team that really believes in themselves.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Well, if they don't believe in themselves, changes are coming.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: And if you don't win this series, changes are coming
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: and I don't know what those changes are. I'm not
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: giving you some false speculation here. I just know this,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Nuggets fans, you won't sit well if changes don't come.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Well, you aren't gonna run it back.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah you can't. Well, first of all, economically, you can't
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: run it back, right, So it's good the roster's going
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: to be different. Win or lose, the roster will look different.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I've told you guys that because of where they're headed,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: and it just smacks of again. This is a Nuggets
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: team that suddenly when you put them on a court
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: with a young athletic, they look old.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Texter says, Zeke is not the answer. And look, man,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: if I were to tell you a month ago that
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I'd be pining for Zeke Nage to get playoff minutes.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I know that sounds crazy, but here's all I've seen.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: I've seen a team that has gotten punched in the
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: face without responding. And I watched whatever limited minutes he
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: played in Game three, but he played his ass off
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: and I just want to play.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: You're gonna give me that effort.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I know, but I think sometimes as fans we look
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: for that silver bullet player who's going to come out
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and rescue you. And I think the rescuing needs to
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: be done by the guys who play all the time.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, if they can't listen. Man.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: But but Vic, I'm into a You're gonna earn your
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: minutes now. And I don't care who you are. If
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: you're playing like garbage, I don't care. If you've been
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: a starter eighty one games this year, then you're gonna
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: go to the bench and I'm gonna play guys who
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: are gonna play.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Hard like I don't know what to tell you. You
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: know what I heard going into game four? Tell me
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: if you guys heard this I heard. Okay, we have
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to do a better job of screening for Jamal because
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: he's being pestered the length of the floor. Did you
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: see that? Did they screen anybody? Did anybody put McDaniels
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: on his ass?
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: No?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Nope with a screen no, no, so. And what happened
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: was Jamal just kept dribbling and dribbling and sometimes dribbling
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: into two men and turning it over in the second half,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and it's not working. Yeah.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: At the same time, Vic, how much more can a
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: g do? I mean, I don't know. I don't know
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: that he can give any more than he's given you
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: right now.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: So do I have know is he gonna play tonight?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Do we know that for sure? I don't know. But
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I listen, dude, have you ever had a strained calf? Yeah?
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: You ever had that? But but what I'm saying is
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have you ever had it? Thought you you
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: literally the muscle doesn't work.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to think at this point in my life. Vic,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to figure it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: It doesn't work. What haven't I straight at one point
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: or nothing? Youah? But I mean it's the calf, especially
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: in basketball. It's the first muscle you feel when you jump.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: It doesn't work. He was jumping off the opposite leg
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: when he blocked Anthony Edwards shot. You saw him jump
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: off one leg.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Let's get a quick call in from Greg. Here's from
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: waiting patiently.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: I gregon, good morning, guys. How you doing?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Brother?
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: Oh right?
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Hey?
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: You know something I was. I was armed the last game.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: I was laughing. My wife got mad at me. She said,
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: why are you laughing? I said, what do you want
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: me to do? Cry? Yeah, but it was just a
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: joke to her because you know our wives are. But
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: the point is play valve. Let him beat, go beer up,
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: let him foul out. Come on, guys, I mean these
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: guys like you're saying, I mean play the guys that
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: that's going to get out there and play hard. Like no,
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: it's it's Zeke to star. No is the other guy stars.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: No play the guys that play. I mean Aloman, I
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: don't know what he's doing. I'm not a coach. I'm
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: not in the locker room. I'm not back there with him.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: But it does come to the team. If you hear
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: the other teams how they say they talk to each other. Now,
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: I don't know if Joker and the guy talk to
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: each other in the locker room or not right about
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: pumping each other up. But guess what, something's not working.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: They look like they did during the mid season. We
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: understand everybody was hurt. I'm not gonna get up on
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: the Nuggets, okay, because I've been a Nuggets fans for
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: a long time because it hurts hell, yeah, it hurts.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Okay, guys, but play vow. Let him get out there
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: and beat this rudy up. Don't come and ask you
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: a question about the picker the picks that they do
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: on Joker when Val when Rudy comes in, he puts
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: a pick on Why don't Joker move back so his
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: guys could get through? He stays there in one spot.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: I'm not dogging him, okay, but moved back. So the
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: guy who's chasing the guy who was killing us with
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: the balls, the shots he was making on us, move
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: back so the guy could get through and chase him.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: Don't they stand there so he can't go through because
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: Joe is not quick enough to go back to the basket. Yeah,
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: roll back to the basket, and they love it to him.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Come on, how many am I the only one to
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: see this?
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: No?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Greg, Yeah, we all see it. Yeah.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: By the way, I would argue to Greg, they're not
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: even playing as well as they did at points mid
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: season the.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Team won thirteen games in a row. Yeah, and somebody
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: said to me, well, it's obvious the Nuggets were tired
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: because they wore down on that streak to get to
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: what are you talking about the last two games going
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: into the season, they sat everybody, They had ten days off. Yeah,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: and then they waited a week. Somebody was worn out.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Now they were they were fine. It's not being worn
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: out down the stretch. They're fine. I don't want to
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: hear that again. You know, that was the excuse in
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: twenty four that they were worn out. If you give
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: me the worn out excuse, let's say he was worn out.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Live at Moses's face. Just went through a season, that's
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: worn out. That is the that is the face of
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: worn out. I met. I was just gonna say.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: The Avs had no break heading into the postseason, like
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: there isn't got done.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: They played like two days later, you know, the the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Nuggets in the fourth quarter, and I tweeted this the
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: other night. They looked tired. And what I see and
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: what I believe are two different things. They shouldn't look tired,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: why are hey? And again, if you are, how about
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: your play val? How about you play Strawther? How about
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: you play guys? Then? So did they look tired at times?
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: Ye?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Did they look You shouldn't look tired because both teams
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: are playing their guys big minutes here.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: I also forgot to ask Greg how many g's he
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: had in his name. Good question, because we've had an
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: issue on this program with two g or excuse me,
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: two g's and three g's Greggs. I just wanted to
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: see what I you know, side of the alphae.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: But that's where I'll give Jane McDaniels a lot of credit.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: That dude guards Jamal full court and then engages offensively.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Is he has he didn't stop running.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: No, Vicky got to be he's got that blank blank
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: in him, and you know what, You've got to appreciate
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: that to some extent.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: To be fair, his conditioning is elite. But looking at
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: his face, his face looks like he's always tired.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: He's like eyelids always like half he's got Yes, he.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Does all right, three oh three five O four two
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: five back after that, Nuggets.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: He just got there and there and put those elbows up,
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: push some fouls on him, gets physical as they as
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: Minnesota as. So come on, Nuggets, let's see what Denver's
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: got that wake up and play hard.
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: Sticks and stones will break your bones, but doing a
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: last second layup, we will hurt you.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: Game five, Wing Baby Nuggets win tonight because they got
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: the best player in the world and playing a team
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: of ding donges.
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: I think the Nuggets are gonna win this next game
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: because Vic told us whoever wins Game one is going
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: to win this series.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: That's a good one.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: That's a good one as uh straight in Pennsylvania thing

  Speaker 5: He's a bad dude. Yeah, I'll tell you what, man, listen.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: So that sorry, mo, just real quick.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Those are all because today the way you can win
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: tickets to Game five tonight is by using that voice
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: of the people on the Altitude Sports Radio app. So
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: get on the app. It's that little microphone at the bottom.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Give us fifteen to twenty seconds of why you think
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: the Nuggets will win. And I think my favorite so
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: far that we heard out of those was well, Vic,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: you said, whoever wins game one.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Wins the series.
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: I think the Nuggets are gonna win this next game
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: because Vic told us whoever wins game one is going
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: to win.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: This that's really good, and that's really good.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: One thing I know is game one, they sort of
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: let Rudy Gobert get his He's scored eighteen points in
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Game one and he has a really and he hasn't
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: scored since. But they've won since, correct, So he's focused
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: on defense since let him score. What's he gonna do?
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: So he scores a few and that those don't hurt you.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: They have no anthem, They've got no redheaded Italian guys.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I want to bring up in another observation and get
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: your thoughts on this. Do you notice what's happened this week?
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: For the first time ever in the history of the world.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: For the first time ever, people in Denver and some
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: of his biggest supporters nation in worldwide, Nikola Jokic is
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: being doubted for the first time in his career.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought you could say Brandon Evans didn't lose
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: a golf ball.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: That happened to our sales guy. Brandon Evans played an
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: entire round, did not lose a ball for the first
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: time in his life. So congratulations to him. But you
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: notice that that this is like striking, and it's weird
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: to me. It's because one thing that's always been obvious
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: about the Nuggets, even in series that they've lost, no
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: one ever like challenged Nicola. No one ever said anything.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: He always did his It wasn't much of a reason
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: to challenge, I know. But I guess what, Guess what, Vic?
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: You're looking at one.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I am incredibly disappointed in how he's played, incredibly like that. Look, man,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: when you're superstar and your second best player, who was
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: an All Star are both shooting than forty in a
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: series that has gone four games.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Now, the hell am I supposed to think? Vic?
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: It's not just it's not a big fact. Wait, it's
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: not just the way he's It's not just that he's missing.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you right now. I'm telling you right now,
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: doesn't look right. He doesn't look right. The way he's
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: shooting looks wrong. It looks it looks misjudged, it looks panicky,
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: it looks off. Can I tell you why he doesn't
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: look like nobody looks like themselves right now?
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Man? What if I nobody? Just real quick? Joker?
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: When he relies so much on his three pointer, there's
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: something weird going on when he is taking the amount
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: of threes that he's taken in this series, it's weird.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: He took three in the last game.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: But there is not to me, there is not an
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: aggression that he has.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: To go.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: You know, when he's posted up and he hits you
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: in that spin cycle, bam bam, bam bam, spin pump,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: fake spin around the other way, like.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen a lot of that first quarter he did,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: he did, and then and then in the second half
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: not so much. Why, I don't know. I will say this.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: You know, we always talk about how Minnesota is Taylor
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: made to take on the Nuggets. They're two best defenders,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert on Joker, Jade McDaniels on Jamal are taking
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: on the Nuggets, two best players, and they've done a
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: hell of a job, a hell of a job on that.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Would you agree. Yeah, But when Rudy left the game
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: the other night in the third quarter, that's where I
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: sort of threw my hands up. Rudy leaves the game,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: and if he's out of there and they're going at
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Joker with Julius Randall, give him the ball every single
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: time time. But what are we doing?
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: So here's what's really striking, and we can say, you
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: know what, Rudy is a good defender. Okay, we know
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: that Rudy has not stopped Joker ever. Oh, here's the
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: the six games, last six that he's had that has
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: not been in the postseason against Rudy Gobert, Jokic's scored
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: thirty four, sixty one, twenty five, twenty seven, fifty six,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: thirty five. He has done that on fifty six percent
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: from the floor, sixty two ninety fifty three, seventy one.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Point fifty eight. It's insane.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Those last thirty games he has shot forty twenty six
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: point nine and thirty six point four percent.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: That it's just not Dutey. That's so those are the numbers.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Victim back up that when I watch him play and
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: he does watch him shoot, he doesn't look anything. So
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: can we be disappointed in the world's best player. I
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: think the answer is, yeah, but.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: You is my comment accurate? For the first time in
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: his career, we're here. Yeah, it's weird. It's foreign, it's
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: foreign soil, like I'm not.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Used to being here because he's been so great and
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: because he's done so much.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, for a guy that's been superhuman to look human,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: and I think that's that's jarring even for him, because
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: he's used to such perfection right, and such a perfectionist,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: and to not be where he's used to being. I
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: think that that knocks on your confidence a little bit.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Well, I think this is a big reason for it.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Last three games, Joker above everything else. He led the
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: league in what this year in rebounds and assists He
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: had eight, three and nine in the last three games.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: You can't get assists if your teammates refused to shoot
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: the ball.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: And then it becomes a lot of attentions on you.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: I got to get the shots up.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Then how many shot attempts to Cam Johnson Evan last
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: game six shoot the ball had six, Christian Brown had four,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: and you may not be shooting it well. The only
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: way this offense goes back to playing like it did
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: before to being a team offense. The ball is popping,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: guys have to be willing to take the shots.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: So hey, on hand he had six, Christian Brown had four,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Spencer Jones had two.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Your third highest.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Shot attempt guy, shot taker, shot taker, a G who
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: has one leg, Yeah, took eleven shots.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I don't know what that is, but I
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: noticed it from the jump in game four the and
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's hey man, we just got
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: to work to get the best shot. Sometimes the best
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: shot is the one you pass up on early in
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the shot clock.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: You can feel with this Nuggets team, especially now. And
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: I mentioned Brett that once it was tied at seventy six. Hey,
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: he had a seventy six, seventy four lead late in
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: the third, I think gets tied up, and even a
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: little bit before that, but especially after that, the Nuggets
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: missed I don't know how many times in a road
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: on the court, six maybe seven times in a row
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: they missed coming down the floor and you don't get
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: a stop, and it gets It's startling to me is
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: that it seemingly gets away from them so quickly and
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: there's no coming back from it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: You know the one element about when MPG was here,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: we got critical because he wouldn't get the ball enough,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: but when he got it, he'd shoot it. Yeah, Oh,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: he would shoot it. I need to see them not
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: pass up shots tonight. And I know that you want
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: better shots, higher percentage shots, but this is a team
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: that built itself on the best three point shooting team
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: in the NBA. And if there's one statistic that defines
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: why the Nuggets are suffering in that department, their three
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: point percentage is far worse than it was to lead
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: the league.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Do you remember when the Boston Celtics got blown out.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: I think it was Game two of their series against
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Philly and they went what was it, eleven of fifty
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: from three? Remember that, Yeah, they shot fifty of them.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: They didn't stop doing it, No, they kept doing it.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Now, let's get back to the Nuggets. In the second most,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: the Avs sweep four to zero, and that is hard
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: to do in the playoffs. I don't care who you are,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: but you mentioned something that I think is so true
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: and it's maybe a little bit of a difference that
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I've seen from this team from years previous. LA was
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: daring them to break away from the flow of the game,
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: get impatient and try and get aggressive and attack offensively
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: for four straight games.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: They tried in the ass almost four.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: I mean that it finally opened up in that third,
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: but that's.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Because the Kings opened it up, not because the Avs did.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: And not once did the Avs break not one time.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: And this quote from DJ Smith after the game, I
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: think kind of proves what happened.
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: I think at the end of the day, we probably
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: lost this series to a really good arche team. And
• 25:00
  Speaker 10: give them credit. It's not offense. They have offense, they
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: have lots, it's how well they check and how well
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: they defend. And I think when you talk about the Avalanche,
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: a lot of it goes by how much they score
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: and how good of players they have. Give them credit
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: and their coaching stuff. How well they checked. To a man,
• 25:18
  Speaker 10: they didn't give us a breakaway in the series other
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: than a shorthanded one. They never give us a two
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: on one other than a partial two on one. That's
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: incredible to do for four games.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: When he said that, all I thought to myself was,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: and I'm trying to translate this, if the Nuggets lose tonight,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: the coach is not going to go up, or at
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: least I'm pretty god he doesn't, because this would make
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: no sense and basically say we lost because that team
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: was better than us, And that's what he said. I
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: think his translation is we actually stuck to our game plan.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: We played as well as we could.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: They are so much better than us, it didn't matter.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: That's the truth though. That's exactly how it happened.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, the top end talent for LA is
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: nowhere near the top end talent for the Avs, and
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: them losing Kevin Fiela in the Olympic Games hurts them,
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: no doubt, But the.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Avs never broke They stayed disciplined.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: In fact, when you talked to coach Bednar on Wednesday,
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: you specifically will all be here. But I want you
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: to ask him that what are you most proud of
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: about that first round series? He may go wedge, he
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: may go team defense, but it's all interconnected.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: They what if he says, well that one time Josh
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Manson got bent over the Dasher.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: I would be proud of that wouldn't be proud.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with that anymore. I
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: don't know what to do with a man you introduced it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: The point is they stayed with the game plan hard
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: and it.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Was a professional hockey see.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Onto professional hockey series.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: But that's what you see.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: A team that's really really good, but driven, disciplined, self motivated,
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: all of that, professional, all of that. You It came
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: through every damn period, every damn game.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: It came through. Oh, as you're looking at my eyes,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at him, looking straight at me. I'm not
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: don't don't avert your eyes look at me. No, no,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not about that, not about that. Look at myes.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Who do you want? You want Dallas or many? You
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: want many? You want many? Why do you want many?
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: I'd want many because I don't think there was good
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: up the middle.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: They beat you a couple of times this season.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, seven games, Dallas Hammer, Sure, So you want many? Well,
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: I just think that when I'm looking at matchups, I
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: love the Avs depth up the middle better than I
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: love anybody else's, but especially against Minnesota. When is the
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: game five? But that being said, h no, it's not
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: until tomorrow.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I think. Hang on, but.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Help me out, Brett, Brett, please help me out, Dallas minute,
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: it's tomorrow, it's tomorrow. I was right, what about the
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: settle everybody's calm down, I was correct.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: What about the notion get that monkey off your back
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: play that team. That's I have no problem with that either.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: Listen, here's what's gonna happen to whomever the Avs face.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: That other team's coaching staff is going to get all
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: the film from the series, and they're gonna know that
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: they have a good, very good hockey club Dallas or
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: Mini very good hockey club. But they're gonna watch that
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: game film of that King series gonna go, oh boy,
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: all right, well, let's see how we want to do this. Boys,
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: we got good players, we got a very good hockey club.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: But what I'm watching on film right now.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Is impressive because they're impressive because they're they'll play any
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: style you want. But the Kings forced them into that
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: because you can in the National Hockey League. And they
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: have still beat him at their own game. The fact
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: that they stayed so damn disciplined is really exciting to me,
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: really exciting.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: A waste of eight days.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: Who's the best player in the series for the S,
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: The best player in this series with Scout Wedgwood.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Follow that, I mean that's important obvious, followed by I
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: was gonna say second one.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Mccarr and I mean, everybody did something.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Tapes.
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: Jack Drury had a freaking great series, Nika had a
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: great Listen, it's not because what I'm saying. It's not
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: because they're scoring a lot of the but just the
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: work put in. Val Natchushkin, I thought had a good series.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: He didn't do squat offensively at an assist. But dude
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: is for checking his back, checking his puck, battle winning battles,
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: you know. I mean, it's more than just scoring the puck.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: And believe me when I I'll tell you. Jerry Benno,
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: I love that line. Two days ago he said, if
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: we're for fortunate enough to advance on this may be
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: the best defensive team we will ever see this postseason.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: And he's probably right about that.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: However, conversely, these other teams will have a lot more firepower,
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: so you always have to adjust.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Think about this though, thinking about how good the Avs
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: have been up front, forward's defenseman, and we're coming away
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: from the series saying the best player on the ice
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: was the goalie, which I don't think they've ever had.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: With this current iteration of the team. The wedge was
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: badass dude.

  Speaker 2: Game five, backs against the wall. Vic I played high
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: school basketball in the old days before the three point line,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: and I had an old school coach by the name
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: of Paul Drodovic shout out to the Holy Family. His
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: rule was, you got to pass the ball seven times
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: before you attempt to shot. Held watching Hoosiers seven times,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: hoy seven passes before you attempt to shot. That was
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: his rule. Oh my, if the Denver Nuggets don't take
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: open shots tonight, I'm just gonna lose my mind. I
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: don't care if there's twenty four on the shot clock.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: If you're open tonight, especially a three that's open, you
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: have to shoot the shot. It's the only way you
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: can get these guys to loosen up a little bit
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: on Joe curR and Jamal The only way somebody else
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: has to score. Somebody else has to be willing to
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: shoot the score. That is my only key. That's it.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: We could talk about how you handle Jalen McDaniels, because
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: I don't Jaden McDaniels. I don't think they're gonna do
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: anything there.

• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Jaden McDaniels, which I thought I was gonna do.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: Moch. I know, but I'm good sometimes in my own head,
• 32:54

  Speaker 2: What was her name, rachel Sherbet, Rachelle Rochelle. Brett asked
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: me during the break, he said, do you think the
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Nuggets will win to And I said, yeah, I do.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I I believe that win. They should win. If they
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: don't win this game, then they've got no heart. Well
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: this will shock me, you know, this is I was
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: shocked Game four when they lost their back court and
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets didn't win. I mean, what's what's beyond shocked?
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: What what's the next word. Now that's less than flummox
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: is no flummoxed? Is you're a little you know, annoyed
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: by it? Yeah? That would go flat fl flabbergasted would
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: be the appropriate response if they lost tonight.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: How about this dumbfounded thunderstruck? Would you be thunder.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: That's the Opinioal give me a little, Nellie, give me
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: a little please listen. I was dumbfounded. I was dumbfounded
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: in Game three that they didn't react at all to
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: what Jay McDaniel said. I was disappointed in Game four
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: and tonight. If they were to lose tonight and the
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: season ends, I would be thunderstruck.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because here's the thing. I said this earlier, and
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: I mean this. I'm gonna say it with my full chest.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: If they lose tonight, they straight up quit. There's no reason.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Backs against the wall. Ant gone, Devincenzo, Yawn, you lose
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: this game at home with the season on the line.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: You just wanted to lose, you know what else?
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: The Nuggets, even though they're down three games to one
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: and the last two teams, the last two teams to
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: come back from a three to one deficit in the
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: NBA Playoffs were the Nuggets to the Denver Nuggets. Yeah,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: in two thousand and twenty, back to back. They're gonna
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: be a favorite. You know, They're gonna be favored in
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: every game left right, they should be. They're gonna be.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: They're favored by ten and a half tonight. They're gonna
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: be favored if they win tonight, and they better. Just
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I'm just.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Asking one time, behave like yourselves. Behave like you are,
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: behave like what's in there? Find it now.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: I we would all like, we would all love for
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: them to come out and just bury them tonight and
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: send a message that we are just flat all right,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: we woke up, we're better. I don't think that's the
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: way this team is gonna go. This team doesn't they
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: just don't do that. I think it's gonna be a
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: little bumpy at times, but they'll find a way to win.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: I hope you're right. A couple things real quick.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Number one.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: Uh, by the way, but that a series. You could
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: pick any player in the Avalanche and see I thought
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: they had the best series.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: You might it might not be wrong.
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: I mean Martin Natius was throwing his body around, didn't
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: do a lot of scoring.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: You know, Nate obviously got his first goal of the
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: series last year.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: Yesterday was great, who like, I mean, every everybody, Landy
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: was awesome. Everybody did something killer Yeah, and Burns Malinsky,
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Sam Malinsky played his I mean his body positioning right
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: now is so damn good.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you something about Burnsy For a team
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: that likes to get cute every once in a while,
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: to pass up an open shot, try and kick it
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: to somebody. If that puck is on Burns stick, it
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: has fired one thousand miles an hour at the next
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: off immediately, I love it.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: You know what else you're hanging on to? What you're
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: hanging on to this hope for the Nuggets that they
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: finally pick it up, find a way get by this series,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: get guys somewhat healthy, Peyton Watson perhaps returns, Maybe ag
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: gets a couple more games off, chills out, and then
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: you okay, we we just sort of had a hiccup series.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Now we're ready and they can actually scare somebody in
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: the later rounds. That's what you hope for. What's sad
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: about Minnesota's fate. Minnesota is sitting there, They're dead. This
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: is their super Bowl they're done it. They're done. Even
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: if this series they're that. That's one thing that I
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: think they've come to terms. They're done. They're they're not
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: winning in the next round no matter what.
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know we haven't talked a whole lot today
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: about the Broncos Draft, and honestly, I'm okay with that.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: I know that a couple of these guys are gonna
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: be good players. Some won't pan out at all.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: I'm a big Jonah Coleman guy, that's all.
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: But I've been I've been watching VIC I've got this
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: feeling inside Jeremiah Love is gonna be awesome for the Cardinals. Dude,
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: how much am I gonna love Jeremiah Love in the
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: Cardinals uniform?
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: It's a fifty two million guaranteed. It's a tough destination
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: for stars. It's never been, never been a great place
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: to Beay've been to a Super Bowl? Yeah that who
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: to prove to be the outlier? You know, we could
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: talk all we want about. It's the Avs, the draft.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: You guys. Here we are in the final minutes of
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: the show, and it's Yeah, falls upon me as usual
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: to tell people what was the greatest athletic feet of
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: the weekend because my cohorts won't bring it up. They
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: don't care. But since I'm a doctor of sport, I
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: right now don't put the emphaside.
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: Don't say cohorts, it's cohorts. Can't say cohorts. It's like
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: the pecock. I don't I can't do it.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: They don't care. They don't understand what makes great sport.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: And the fact that we saw at the London Marathon
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: a human being run a sub two hour marathon is
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: un freaking real. He ran at a pace of four
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: h six per mile four thirty three? Was that what
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: it was? Yeah? Okay, I was wrong, Thank you. Do
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: you understand how fast that is?
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: It's sprinting for twenty six miles? I don't get it.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Do you understand how fast a human being is running.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: He pissed me off though, That guy, whatever his name was,
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: he crosses the finish line, he's not He's like breathing
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: through his nose.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's not a drop of sweat on this guy.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: What is well, he's fourteen pounds genetics. In fact, I
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: would say this, do you think if we ran a relay,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: all of us here, all four, all four of us
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: in one of those shows. No, no, no, no, not
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: the entire marathon. There's no way.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: A mile, just one mile to get the four thirty three,
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: there's no chance.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: So the final mile or one of the miles later that,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: we said, okay, let's all set up, and you know,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: you run as far as you can. So most you
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: would do like twenty yards. Oh so like we're the
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: pace car next to him, he's our pace. So if
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: we had to just keep up with him on a
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: four to thirty three mile, just as a relay, the
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: three of us combined, Yeah, closure, you do the first
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: twenty yards before you die? Pretty much? Uh, Brett, how
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: many can you handle?
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: I'll give you a good h I'll give you a
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: quarter mile hard, Yeah, I'll give you.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: A quarter Well, can you give me same as Brett? Quarter?
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Two quarters? Twenty yards? That's a half mile for you.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: So I got a half mile that I've got to
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: run to keep up with this dude. I don't think
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: we could be No, I don't think so either.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: In fact, they still have nice synonyms of shocked up here, Vick.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest with you, I'd be knocked for
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: six what. It's a British term about being shocked. Would
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: you like to hear.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: What it means?
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, if you are knocked for six, it means you're
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: completely overwhelmed, stun shocked or severely affected by bad news.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: And it originates from.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Cricket where a bowler is devastated by having a ball
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: hit for the maximum six runs. I would be knocked
• 41:43
