  Speaker 2: right this second, slaving away over the hot microphones of

  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, the bright lights of the YouTube cameras
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: in here, and all that crap o. This hour is
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: from pro Bouncy Ball. Don't bury the lead, by man heart.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: We're not gonna bury the lead. So we had an
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: island game in the NBA, and island game not at night. See,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the NBA realizes Oklahoma City and Denver not worthy of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: prime time. So they played that bad boy in the afternoon.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: That game you normally Game seven standalone game, Island game
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: played at night. No, they said this game so crappy,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: We're not gonna play that game at night. And they
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: didn't play the game at night. They played it in
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the afternoon. Nicola Jokic and the Nuggets traveling circus headed
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: over to the Sooners State there for the last dance,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: one last opportunity against Shay Jogas Alexander the former Clipper,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: and he plays for the Thunder.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Now so game.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Seven, Oh, greatest words at sports unless it was this
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Game seven. Oklahoma City the youngest team in the history
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: of the NBA to win at least sixty games. Whoopee
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: amdu and against the championship pet I agree? Of Denver,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: how many times have we heard that when the Nuggets
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: do anything, go championship pedigree.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Shove that right up your old keister.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: All right, So, Thunder, we're an eight point favorite, come
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: into this an eight point favorite.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: How did that turn out? Well?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: If you didn't watch the game, consider yourself lucky. It
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: was a sleepy afternoon, a Sunday, fun day, without much
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: fun in terms of competition. You want a close game,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you want a game a Game seven. If you could
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: pick out the scenario with five minutes to go, it's
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: anyone's game. Who's going to make plays down the stretch?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: So that we got none of that, We got none
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of that. That did not happen in this game. But
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: don't worry. We did watch so you would not have.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: To and you didn't miss a damn thing.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: As a shade Jogis, Alexander scored thirty five points and
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Jalen Williams, who was an absolute turd in a previous game,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: had twenty four and the Thunder vaporized the Nuggets like
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: a fat guy at McDonald's and Nuggets one twenty five
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: to ninety three in Game seven. As Oklahoma City advances,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: they head now to the Western Conference Final and the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: top seeded Thunder will host the sixth seeded Minnesota Timberwolves
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: starting on what is that Tuesday night?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night? There you go.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: So Oklahoma City the first trip to the conference finals
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: since twenty sixteen, and so that is the setup here,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: but the better story is in the losing locker room,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and so that is where we will begin as we
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: discuss the question how does one explain? How does one
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: explain Nakola Jokic and the Nuggets getting crushed like a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: bug on the rug they got stomped on.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: In Game seven.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It's one thing to lose, but to not have any
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: kind of fight, a gutless effort by the Denver Nuggets
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: in this game. So I've got poetic Tom Hanks and
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Jelly and we will combine all of these things together
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and make a nice trip.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: To can Kuon is what we're going to make so
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a This was what I call a bad good game.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: A bad I use that phrase.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: If you've been with the show a long time, you
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: know sometimes I'll use the phrase bad good. Now what
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I mean by that it was bad to watch. It
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: was bad to watch. It wasn't competitive, but it was
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: good because it was such a rat kill. You didn't
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: need to watch it. And I was like, I'm not
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: gonna sit here and say I watch After midway through
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the third quarter, I'm out. The most valuable thing we
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: have is our time. I'm not wasting my time on
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: that drek. Okay, I'm out. If the Nuggets aren't gonna try,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: why am I gonna try to watch?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: My God?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Now, Denver, they started the game with an old Hollywood trick.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: We see its back when people used to watch movies.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I know, movies are kind of laying now and people
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: really go to movies, and the movies they make are
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: terrible for the most part. But when you used to
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: back in the old days, people used to actually go
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: to the movies.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I got a big deal, you know, it was a
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: huge deal.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: And so that quick start, it's called the fake out,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that quick start where you think man, this is great,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: great opening scene.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: We got something here. This is good. It's gonna be
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a good movie.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: And then you settle in and it stinks. Movie blows right,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: and the Nuggets got out of the gates. They were
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: up by eleven points. You figure that have a chance
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: in the fourth chord. They had to play with the lead.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: So they were up by eleven midway through the first quarter.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: From that point forward, I went back. I did the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: mal of math on this. From that point forward, up eleven,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: they were outscored, they being the Nuggets by fifty four points.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: They fell behind by forty three points. So they went
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: up eleven, down forty three and turn out the last
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: the parties over. Now, in that stretch, Oklahoma City faced
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: no defense. Why couldn't the Nuggets play defense like that
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: against the Clippers in Game seven? The in fact that
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets looked like the Clippers that gave up James
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Harden out there playing for the nugget at five, James
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Harden's out there for the Denver Nuggets. So Oklahoma City
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: in that stretch where they went from down eleven to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: up forty three, he had Sga and Jalen Williams combined
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: for fifty five points. In that stretch, they shot sixty
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: percent in a game seven over sixty percent, while in
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: that stretch the Denver stars Nikoley Jokic and Jamal Murray
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: combined for twenty six points and shot forty three percent.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Now, I never played in the NBA. I just do
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: an overnight show. But I don't think that's good. Do
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you think that's good?
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: The Nuggets were an anemic seventeen percent from three point range,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: led by Jamal Murray's one of eight from prepoint range
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: in that stretch. Yeah, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Now that being said, I am actually happy the Nuggets lost.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Well, are you happy the Douggets?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Low?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You should be happy the Douggets.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: No, it's not because of that guy, Jeff and Denver
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: that calls the show. It's not because of that guy.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: But the way I look at the Nuggets losing here,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go very deep here. I feel like this
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: is poetic that Denver lost, It's poetic justice. And somewhere
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: somewhere at a mansion far far away, Michael Malone cracked
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: open a cold one and celebrated the demise of the
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Nuggets because they did him dirty, dirty, dirty dogs. They
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: did Michael Malone dirty, dumping him days before the playoffs.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: You dance with the one you brought. They whacked Malone
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: thinking that Weasley ownership there in Denver. They thought, well,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I'll get rid of the GM, We'll get rid of
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the we'll get rid of the cod. We're gonna be fine.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: And how that turned out.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: They hired that I want to be polite NEPO interim
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: coach David Adelman.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, that guy, and they know I'm going to zoom
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: into the final four and all that. Well.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: The Doppelganger, as a listener pointed out, of the impractical
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Joker star James Murray had nothing, had absolutely nothing right there.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And so the Nuggets are out, which is good.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: It's poetic justin you don't want to see a team
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: that makes that kind of business decision, that kind of
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: pathetic move, like the Denver Nuggets have success and they
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: didn't have it all right now, turning the page, So
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: this got me all worked up. One of the pet
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: peeves I have is how amazingly lazy the modern athlete is, right,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: how baby, how coddled the modern athlete is. And it's
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: a great example of that in what happened after Game seven.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: So Aaron Gordon, who started despite a hamstring injury when
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you would have thought they had to amputate it. It was
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: like during the Civil War they had to amputate the leg.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And he went out there and played amazing. He hopped
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: on one legs, he was on a hopper, so he
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: played fine. Okay, good for him, all right, But rather
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: than just celebrating the fact that he played, not that
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: he played that great, rather than just that after the
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: game had concluded, Aaron Gordon said he had a wish
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: about what he'd like to see the NBA do with
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: the schedule in the playoffs.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And now now keep.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Remind the players have complained for a long time. Wow,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: we got back to back games in the regular season.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: So the NBA made sure in the playoffs. No back
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: to back. You never played back to back. Never ever
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: back to back. They used to play back to back,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: they never played back to back. That's not good enough
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: for this schmuck. Listen to Aaron Gordon take as.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I would really really appreciate it if there were a
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: couple of days in between games in the playoffs instead
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: of every other day regardless if you go seven games.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: And I understand if you do your work early and
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: you get first seed, then you can have some time off.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: But I think the days in between games not just.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: An off day and a travel day, but a travel
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: day and a recovery days just too two days. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: think the product of the game would be a lot better.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: I think there'd be a just a better product on
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: the floors. Just to give all these professional athletes just,
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: you know, one more day of rest, and you will
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: see a higher level of basketball, probably less blowouts.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, that was not AI, by the way. People think, well,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: but no one would actually like, No Marshmallow would actually
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: say that, Like what ware they want their name?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: He said it. That's not AI. That's real. So Aaron Gordon,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you just heard it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: He thinks the NBA needs more days off between playoff
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: games to prevent postseason blowouts.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: What is your verdict on this one?
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, so my verdict on this is poppy cocky. That
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: is my verdict on that. Poppycock, poppycock, poppycock, poppycock, poppycock.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: That's my verdict. It is twisted reasoning. Now, it's twisted reasoning.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. Like, tell me you don't know what you're
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: talking about. Without telling me you don't know what you're
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: talking about. The schedule is fair because it's equal for
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: all the team, Like there is supposed to be a
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: degree of difficulty in the NBA playoffs.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Hello, Like, what are we doing here?
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Like everyone's playing in the same umbrella, the same conditions.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: And I keep hearing from people that, but we have
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the top trainers, we use h computer science and technology
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: and all this stuff. We're so advanced to the advancements
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: to help the human body quickly recover. Oh my god,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: it's never enough. And it reminds me of the Tom
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Hanks character in the League of the Road when you
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: talk about it. Of course it's hard, right, It's yes,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to be hard.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: It was easy, everyone would do it. These guys, Eric
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Gordon ten, you're wuss. What are you doing?
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: You need?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Oh read it next year. How about a week?
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: How about we playing like the NFL? Wait once a
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: week every Sunday. You play a game every Sunday, play
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: a stupid game.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: That wouldn't be enough. It is so stupid. I just
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I can't wrap my head about how dumb this is.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Wed yeah, okay, let's just why don't we have how
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: about the NBA Finals. It'll be sometime maybe in August,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: they'll end the NBA finals. That would that be good?
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: My god.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: The whole point is to distinguish what the gold is
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: from the gravel, and to do that you have to
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: have the war of attrition, not the war of let's
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: get as much rest as we can possibly have. It's like, jeez, yeah,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I'm sure blowoffs will never happen. Yeah, how about you
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: don't quit like the Nuggets did in this game, then
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: you won't get blown out?
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: And you don't give me oh they quit? You don't
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: lose a game by that many points if you're trying,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: you don't. And the players again, they complain about the
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: back to backs. Fine, that there's a you have to
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: do that because of scheduling issues with the Arenas and
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: so they've gotten rid of a lot of that, the
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: back to backs. They used to play many more back
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: to backs. And they belly ache, I'm playing every other
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: day in the play playoffs. And it's like the lesson is,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: no matter what you guys are gonna bitch about something,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: you're gonna complain about something to shut up.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: It's annoying, it's unbecoming.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you realize that people are watching you
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: stupid games, are working two or three jobs, most of
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: them they they're not seeing any other family the love,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: and you're complaining because you want an extra day off
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: between a stupid playoff game when you're already getting the
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: day off between the play That's Aaron Gordon all right anyway,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Uh now the last part of this. Nicole Jokish also
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: gave us some good content post game. As the Nuggets
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: have been extinguished from the playoffs, they have been decommissioned
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: from the postseason. So he was asked whether the Nuggets
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: can win a championship as they are currently constructed another
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: title with this group of players.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Then, well, here's what he had to say.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Take it was, do you feel like this team could
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: still win a championship as it's put together?
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Now? I mean, they didn't, so we can't. If if
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: if we could win and so I don't believe in
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: those if stuff. So we had an opportunity, we didn't.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: We didn't. We didn't win it, so I think we can't.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. Ifs I did not believe in
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: the word if all right, So the question where does
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Denver go from here? Where does Denver go from here?
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Do they simply remodel around Nicola Jokic or is this
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: a total demo?
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Blow it up?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: So the answer, Mighty coder Ring tells me what the
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: joker just said there is now We're cooked? Is what
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: he meant to say, We're screwed. I mean, this is
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: this is bad, bad, but bad, bad, bad, all right.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: So if I'm the Nugget, it's like the chance of
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: them getting a player in the next five to ten
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: years as good as Yolkic still is are slim and none,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: as the line goes, and none is on a plane
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: right now going to Bermuda, So good luck on that.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: What you do here, if you're the Nuggets, you go
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: down to home depot and it's a DIY project.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Do it yourself, all right? This is do it yourself project.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: You've got really two or three seasons of Jokic where
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: you can make this thing work, right, you can make
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: this thing work. And so you treat Nicole Jokicic like
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: the Jelly Roll song and you just hold on to
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: him until the wheels fall off of Jokic. He doesn't
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: seem like the kind of guy like he's's a plane
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: demand that goes to some other team. He doesn't seem
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: like that kind of Maybe he is, and he's been
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: in the NBA a long time, and by osmosis, maybe
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: he's learned to be a schmuck like all the other
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: guys in demand to go to some big market teams somewhere.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: But if I'm the Nuggets and I got no skin
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: in the game here, if I'm the Denver Nuggets, I'm like, hey,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I'm riding this all right.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going till the wheels fall off. He's thirty years old.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: So you got, like I said, two or three seasons,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: and this is going to be a decline. He's the
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: athletic primes at thirty two. That's the peak, and then
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: it's slowly, you hope it slowly goes down, and you
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: fill the gaps in around him and you try to
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: make one one more sustained run with Jokich.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And then that's it. If he's done money, he's done.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: You move on. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
• 18:12

  Speaker 1: Then I then I get the email.

• 24:35

• 24:38
  Speaker 2: nine thirty and you're like, well, coople left ten minutes ago.

  Speaker 2: Ted's not late. It is not late at all. Now,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: if there's no one there nine thirty, then maybe I
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: might agree with you.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: But there's any people there, have a good crowd, so party.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: As soon as the Knicks game's over, I'm gone.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: No, no, stop stop, probably even earlier, no, because if
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: it's on TNT, you gotta watch Barkley and then the
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: post game. That's who you gotta watch it, all right,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: although you might not have that in Canada. I don't
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: know anyway. Terry in I remember I was a friends
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: with one of the Raptors broadcasters, and the guys used
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: to complain, this is years ago, because they didn't have ESPN,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: back when people used to watch ESPN. He used to
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: complain they didn't have it in Canada. So they complained
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: about TSN TSN's a big network in Canada. Terry in
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: England writes and says, damn you, malar, I cannot call
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: during hour two to rip you a new one. It's
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: after eight am here and school meetings are starting. Well,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: don't worry, Terry. I'll address all of your concerns. In
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: that Mallard monologue, Mike writes in he's Terry's, of course
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: a big forty nine er lap dog, and he does
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: not realize be careful what you wish for what the
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers have done, which is a really good
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: news for everyone else. We'll talk more about it next hour,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: as we're doing an NBA hour here. But the forty
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: nine ers have done the thing they can't do at
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: the time they can't do it. They have signed mediocrity
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: to big money. Mike writes in says Bill Miller uses
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: x lax for regularity. This the need for Miller fart walks,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: says Mike. Chris writes in says Gordon is right. I
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: mean the Clippers rest their starters every year between May
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: and October. Chris again with clipper itis. I understand it's
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: much cooler to talk about the Clips.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Pat writes in says, the lovely airy Berry in Cannes
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: City is back in the building with us tonight. So
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: that's good news. We have airy Berry and Pat both
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: forced to listen to the show. Well, Pat is not forced,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: but she's forced to nature boy right since says Game
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: seven thunder Nuggets sucked bigly. Then to add insult injury,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: we got door Burke. Well, I didn't get Doris Burke.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I hit the mute button on that bad boy. When
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I hear her, I'm out on the audio. It's a classic.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: I don't need audio. Let's see Josh wrights him out.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Josh is a Bears fan. He's in Nebraska, he says
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Ben the Nuggets would have done better if they had
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: actually hired the real James Murray from Impractical Jokers as
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: their coach.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's available.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Chipping the Q's right, since says a plus on the
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: mouth of the monologue, Aaron Gordon needs to put down
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: the crack pipe. If an athlete is in the proper
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: physical condition, then they won't need an extra day off
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: between games. So Soft Jr. Says that Aaron Gordon drop
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: has to be the most acidine thing I've heard all
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: year a plus on the maut Of monologue the Burner
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: count the number one burner says, Jesus, these new age
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: athletes are so damn soft. Oh mg, more days off?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? This is the reason the NBA
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: is so watered down. Now, enjoy your vacation, miss just
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: soft day, Yes, and enjoy that. What else do you have?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Page?
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Then? See this guy says you sound angry tonight. Maybe
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: you needed an extra day off between shows. That's the
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: nature boy. No, I'm good, I'm fine, I'm not angry.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Why am I name? I'm just reacting to the news
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: of the day.
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: That's it offensive.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I'm offendi. Yeah, yeah, you triggered me, nature boy.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: King Roy says the Western Conference Finals starting this Tuesday
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: and the Thunder on short rest and having home court advantage,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: do you believe they care all the.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: All the moment at the moment?
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: In Game one, I heard the Angels won their weekend
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: series and a sweet but I did not hear against too,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: so congrats Cooper.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm not watching much of that baseball
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: stuff right now.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Super Marcus Steve writes in says the music references you
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: make and monologues are eclectic. One week it's no doubt,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: the next it's Tom Petty, another week it's NWA.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Now you're king.
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: You really never know what I'm doing.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Now you're quoting a jelly roll song. There you go.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Well, super Marks used to used to complain because I
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: only quoted eminem and he used to complain about that.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: And he said, well, you only do one one group
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: and that's it. So I've changed it up, and now
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: you're complaining about that. So the question is why do
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: you always complain? You complaining before yours quote eight miles
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: saw whatever, complain about that. Now I'm changing my music
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: and you're complaining. You're you're upset about that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: Do you listen to jelly roll, Ben, I've eaten many.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I know that I've eaten many jelly rolls over the years.
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I thought this was like musical references that you
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: listened to.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm eclectic.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: As he pointed out, Jimmy Jimmy Star writes in says
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: no need to unpack balls to the wall baby, that's
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: he said, Yeah, you don't unpack, you know, there's no
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: need to unpack anyway. It is the Ben Maller shows,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: we were working our way, just beginning the red eye flight.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones. Now, a man who has
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: lived and died with the Nuggets, but he just died
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: because his team died. Let's say hello, now meany miney moe.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Jeff in Denver. What's going on? Jeff?
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: And I just wanted to call in. I'm not a
• 30:11
  Speaker 10: play I don't I don't disappear like your other listeners
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: when their team loses.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, did you just call it? You have nothing
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: to say.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: You just called in because you wanted to make sure
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: that we have on the record that you called in there.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: How did that taste? By the way, did you enjoy that?
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Did you? Did you watch the whole game? Did you?
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Did you turn it off about the third quarter like
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: when I did, because the game was over at that point.
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: No, I stuck with them. I just think that they
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: ran out of gas. They need to address the bench
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: in the offseason. They just need to get more help
• 30:42
  Speaker 10: for jokers.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Or maybe the guys that play in the rotation can
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: be in better shape. How about that, Well, they ran
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: out of gas, but I mean run out of gas.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: So you're saying they're not good enough?
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: No, I'm not saying that.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: You're saying that if.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: They ran out of gas, they're not good enough. They're
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: not they're not designed for the postseason.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: What you're saying, man, this.
• 31:03
  Speaker 10: This is this particular series. Murray was under an illness.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Oh my, let me get my violin. Let me get
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: my violin out. Hold on, let me get the.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: World's smallest violin here. Holy crap, Holy crap, you are
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: such a you are such apologies for the Nuggetes. That's pathetic.
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: Come on, man, it's a fact they're starting.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Which means you're not good enough. That that's what that means.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: All those little excuses, go ahead, keep going. How about
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Aaron Gordon he played at bat and injury played.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, yeah.
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: He played on a bad hamstring. Porter's playing with an
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: injury that he should be out five to six weeks.
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: And then, uh, they're just they spread out of the gas.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: They just okay.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: So again that's your way of saying, there, they suck,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: they're not good enough. The Denver Nuggets are not good enough.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: And might I add the Clippers played a role in this,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: and the thunder fans can thank the Clippers by taking
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Denver to seven, and that proves the Nugget War that
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Clippers warm out. So the Clippers really helped the Thunder
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: advance because the Nuggets are not designed for the playoffs.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: And if the Clippers had rolled over and lost earlier
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: in that series, and the Nuggets.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Admitted, they would have won. But they're not designed for
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the playoffs.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: You're admitting, and I give you credit for admitting that,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: even though you don't realize you're admitting.
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: You Jeff, I'm just saying that it's as weak as
• 32:15
  Speaker 10: we ended up at the end of the as much
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: as we ran that gas, we still forced Oklahoma City
• 32:21
  Speaker 10: to a game seven, So I did not see them
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: advancing at all. I think Minnesota is going to take
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: that because if Oklahoma City took seven games to beat
• 32:29
  Speaker 10: us with Murray fighting an illness, Gordon with the hamstring,
• 32:33
  Speaker 10: Porter with the shoulder, and you still take seven games
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: to beat us, they're not going to advance.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Well the Nuggets.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: The Clippers took the Nuggets to seven with playoff harden,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: so that then the Nuggets, I mean, that's embarrassing for
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets with playoff harden.
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but at least there was no injuries, no, no.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Every guys didn't up there. They just don't complain.
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: About the thing. I wish there wasn't an injury. I
• 32:59
  Speaker 10: wish there was.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: That's why they put it. There's always injuries. Every year,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: there's injuries. That's why they play. It's human beings. Human
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: beings get hurt.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: There has never ever, ever been a season where no
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: one gets hurt.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: That is part of the deal. It's always been the deal.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: It'll never stop being the deal unless they put androids
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: in there, and then the androids will get hurt.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: It's always the way it is. People get hurt. That's
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: how it works. You kiss it. Well, we hadn't gotten hurt.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: That's obvious. No one plays without getting hurt.
• 33:29
  Speaker 10: Okay, he's been fortunate so far. They haven't gotten hurt.
• 33:32
  Speaker 10: So we'll see what happens in the next er.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, all right, thank you,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: go away. All right.
• 33:37

• 34:25
  Speaker 2: They were down by forty something. Pat, that's a bull take.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Is that an original take? Did you buy that take?
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Did you steal that take? That's your take?
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I still man take from Josh from Josh?
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well there you go, some random.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: You know, who do you think was the better coach?
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Bill Musselman of Flip Saunders?
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, Bill Musselm and Flip Well, that's a question I
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: did not expect. I'll go flip Saunders for a thousand.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I will go Flip Sanders too. You know what I
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: think prim Saunders took them to fire the Bill.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he also he had better players. He has
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: better players to it.
• 35:03
  Speaker 10: He had.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Something, Spencer.

  Speaker 1: The Panthers. Is that correct, James? That is correct? Oh

  Speaker 1: it's wrong. Apparently it's wrong that the pans.
• 35:28
  Speaker 9: Okay, well, what about what about the Cowboys?
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Cowboys? Yeah?

• 35:35
  Speaker 2: I would like, you.

  Speaker 2: the that's wrong. It is Nikola Jokic of your Denver Nuggets,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: eight hundred and thirty nine games of his career without
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: having a teammate who is an All Star, All NBA
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: or All Defensive player in that season.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: So he is on a party of one, party of one.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: The joker. He's a joking. He's gonna have a good
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: time this offseason and
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Drinking a lot, enjoying himself and not too or he'll
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: be back in his homeland soon
