  Speaker 2: half and they go away with a one sixteen to
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: ninety three win.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Nuggets now winners of six straight games. I was accused
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: earlier of a tone problem. I didn't mean to. I'm
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: not upset at all. I think that game last night
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: was awesome. It's what you're supposed to do. You put
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: up forty in the third quarter, they scored forty.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: In the second half. That's what you want to see.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: I'm just thinking about that game compared to what I
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: watched on Friday, which again was a win. Nice, But
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: why did it look like that against Utah on Friday
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: and then looked like that yesterday against the Warriors? Which
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: has been sort of what Theets season has been. Nights
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: where they look really good and nights where you're just
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: kind of confused. But I don't know, vic. I know
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: is National TV last night?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Can we start there?
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Start with National TV? Yeah, huh okay. They spent seventy
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: six billion dollars for these new television rights. That's what
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: they got, not spent. Received seventy six billion dollars, so
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: they can do whatever the hell they want to do
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't change anything. But I don't know about you, guys.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: There was an NBC broadcast at National broadcast last night,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: no pregame, no halftime, halftime was taped. It was the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: crew from NBC that taped something from Oklahoma City. No
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: postgame quick interview with Jamal. They're not listen. I'm not
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: saying that it's the end all of Some people just
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: want the games, and I get it, But what are
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: we doing? Yeah, the inside the NBA crew, those guys
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: when they were doing their best work, right when they
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: were working for TNT. They were there all night. Yeah,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: they talked about all the games. Am I wrong here?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Most they were there all night.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I don't want to sound like a whiner in a mona.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: This morning?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: What Hi?
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: By the way, good morning?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Good?
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I texted anybody want to work? I'm not sure what
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: time I texted Vic. It had to be ten, ten
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: thirty or eleven, something like that. I said. I I
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: am incredibly dissatisfied. I want to see some analysis. Maybe
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: maybe I'm old school. Maybe I don't want my network
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: to spend all the money just acquiring the rights to
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: the game, and then when you do the game.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It's half assed.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: You barely do the game and then you're out and
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: then you're going to your Then my TV does the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: does the circle thing, and then coming on next is
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: like uh, Twilight series or whatever. It's just it's like
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I be you got it. This is still what perplexes
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: guys like me and maybe vic to it. Maybe the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: listening audience feels the same way.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe they don't. Maybe maybe they don't feel the need
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah today's maybe today's you know viewer. Maybe
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I mean I'm an old school viewer. I like the
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: full encompassing package. Like when I watch football games, I
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: like to watch the postgame show on CBS or ESPN
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: or you know.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: They took the greatest studio show ever, made the greatest
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: product of all the studio show, the greatest gon to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: be a product ever ever, and completely neutralized it. It's gone, yea,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: even when it exists today, even when they have it,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it's gone.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: It's insane. Well, I just cannot believe it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: It's a cannibalization by the league that to me, I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: still I don't have words. I don't understand why you
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: would eat your own Well, can I just to go
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: back to the to the the Nuggets portion.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: By the way, the Nuggets sell won the game that
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: they want.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: But here's what I'm getting at dal Jones Dazdak.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: The way that the Nuggets operate is just very confusing
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: to me, and I asked you guys before the end
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: of the schedule, because we knew the schedule was gonna
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: ease up. They were gonna play against teams that aren't
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: very good. Utah is terrible, Golden State without Steph Curry
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: is no good. Golden State with Steph Curry isn't very good.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: But you have a game like last night, which is
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: what you want to see now, maybe not early, you
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: know you're down at half, but to close out the
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: way they did.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Two and a half quarters of Dilly dowing, Yeah, two
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and a half quarters of let's just show up, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: then they laid the hammer down.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: But to know they're capable of closing a game out
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: that way perfect, And then they play in Utah was worse,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, well, what's going on there? And I
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: just I can't get a good read on what I
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: should expect when this postseason starts.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe I shouldn't have any expectation. Maybe that's the answer.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Like I just I go into the postseason blinde and
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: just say whatever I get.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I get. It's been a weird six game win streak. Uh,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: they're eight and two out of their last ten, So
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that's good, right, And that's why they're fourth seed and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: knocking on the door for three seed if they can
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: keep this up. But there's no denying what you're feeling,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: because these six games have been awkward, feeling themselves out,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: just doing enough, doing just enough to win. Yeah, you
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: know what the Nuggets have been the last six games.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: They've been that student that does just enough, that see student,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah that does just enough. Like, okay, we'll get it done.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: We will get it done. And it's hard to be
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: complaining about a six game win streak. It is, but
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: let's just take each win for its own. Raptors they
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: win one twenty one, one fifteen. That was a food
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: fight the entire time. Okay, Portland they win one twenty eight,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: one twelve. That wasn't easy. Now, it was never over.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: They go to Phoenix and win one twenty five one
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: twenty three when the Suns had a chance to win.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I thought it was a pretty good game though overall.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: To win that at the buzzer, Yeah, Mavericks come to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: town pulling teeth. To win that game, you need a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: fifty point game from Jamal in a twenty twenty twenty
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: game from Yo pulling teeth to win that game Utah,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: they win by six. They were down the entire time.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You needed a just a fascinating finish to win a game.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And then last night, of all these wins, that was
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: probably their best because they they won resoundingly at the end.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: But I feel you. I understand where you're coming from.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: It's not that I'm mad. I just I can't get
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a read on it. Me neither.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I can't.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I can't get to read.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I gotta read.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to read.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I got I gotta read.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Help me read.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Vic, you had a line I can't read.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I can't read, help me read.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, it was that the dull with the It was
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: the dog in the commercial.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Now, okay, what's your reading money the vick?
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: You said this line a long time ago, but it
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: applies today. They're playing with their food or is this?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Who are they?
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: No?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: No, they're they're okay, they're better than all these teams,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and they're better than the the way they're playing all
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: these teams.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: In my opinion, maybe people say, well, no, not at
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: this point. I mean, you are who you are. Well maybe,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: but I'm gonna contrast it with the Avalanche or in
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: just a little bit, I think they're playing with their food.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: It looks like they're just kind of screwing around me
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: at times.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Vision they get the way they're they're they're giving up turnovers.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they didn't turn the ball two games ago,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: they didn't turn the ball over hardly at all. Half
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: way they refuse, Yeah they but but against the Jazz,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: they didn't turn the ball over hardly at all. But
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: they refuse to play defense in that game. I refuse
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: to play defense against guy's name Brett Kane.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Here's the bottom line. And you guys tell me if
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I'm off here, because there's no sniffing at a six
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: game win streak in March. It's a great thing. You
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: needed it, you got it. But right now they don't
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: give you. Maybe I'm off. Do they give you the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: impression of a championship team?
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: No?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And that's maybe that's my main thing?
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Is it us?
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I was talking about this earlier, Vick? Is that being
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: a hater having a behavior? Oklahoma City? If I ask
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: anybody who's watched a minute of basketball, they want to
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: eat your children. Is Oklahoma City a championship contender? Everybody
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: will tell you yes without hesitation.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Here the reason they look they want to eat your children.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: They want to beat you and beat you badly.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: And here's here's the reason why they beat good teams.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: But and when they play bad teams, the game is
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: over by the third they eat them up.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, San Antonio is the exact same.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: That's why, dude, we said for the first half of
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: the season, Vic most all of us, Yeah, I don't
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: think San Antonio is a nice team. They won't be
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: a contender, won the postseason rolls around now they're too
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: young and experienced.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Change my mind.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: I've changed my I've watched them beat the holy hell
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: out of people for the entire season. You're now in
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: the category like you, you're able to win a championship
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: because they behave like a championship team.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: The Nuggets just too often. And again, I don't want
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to sound like I'm whining.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: It's not whining. It's confusion that you're hearing. Okay, not whining,
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: just sitting way over here.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it sure sounds like whining from over heat.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: It's not, though, it's it's frustration from confusion because I
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: don't know what to do with them.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: It's okay, First of all, don't let anybody ever tell
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you different. Don't. Don't let people say a win is
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a win, because not every win is created equal. It's okay,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it's okay to formulate a level of concern after or
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: a win because you're you're you're a sophisticated enough fan
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: right to see through some of this.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and if about about Friday, I'm gonna give you
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: an example.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you an example. Do you remember thirteen
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: months ago, fourteen months ago, the Devor Nuggets had I
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: believe it was an eight game win streak before the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: All Star break? Yeah, do you remember what was said
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: about that win streak? What Nicola Jokic said?
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Uh? Didn't he say something like it was hiding.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of our problems?
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I feel the same way about this one kinda. I do. Defensively, Listen,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: this team, if you bring this defense that they're playing
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: right now into the playoffs, you're going to lose.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna just lose, You're because it's either.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: They can't go to no. Listen, listen. If you bring
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: this defense, this energy on defense, you're going to lose.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't doubt whatsoever I'm going to lose.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I'm going to reiterate what I said earlier, and you
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: may lose in the first round if you bring that defense.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: I don't want to cast dispersions on players because these
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: are NBA players, But when you've got guys from the
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Utah Jazz, these are NBA players, they should be in
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: the league. But when you refuse to play defense on
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Kenny Chandler and John Conchar.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Until the very end, Yeah, until the until the very
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: John Conchar, Yeah.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I mean it was.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: It's it's like, dudes, these guys want you to play defense.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: They're begging you to stop them.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Most you tohs. Two best players that night sat on
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the bench for the fourth quarter.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Vick, I'm well aware.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're aware of this. The Philipowski
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and Sensiba didn't play.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Sets the ball, by the way, I had a he
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: uh was pretty efficient. Then they sat him.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And Philipowski, who's eating all night? And maybe this is
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: why I was accused of being wife.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, you're imagine having twenty five points and then you
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: sit the fourth you don't play at all. It's just ridiculous.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Here's what we usually do because it's just natural. If
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: the astir Nuggets have two games over the weekend. The
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: most recent game is the when they get to the
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: most attention, And for me, I'm focusing more on the
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: game Friday and not the game last night, which is
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: part of the problem, I suppose, because last night was
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: mostly fine. They bleeped around for a half and then
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: we're like, all right.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Well, why bleep around? I don't know, I don't know,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: And why be down at the half? Why?
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Maybe this is just because I threw this out there.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know if this is the case or not.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: For teams that have been perennial playoff teams, you can
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: tell their level of care for the regular season isn't
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: as high as other teams, right You aren't going full
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: board every night. You're like, all right, we'll make the
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: playoffs and then we'll do this and that. Maybe that's
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: where they're at. Maybe at the same time, their record
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: with their starters is pretty good, you know, despite the
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: way that maybe I'm talking about it right now, in
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: the way that it's looked, it's been pretty good.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, we'll get back to this and
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I say it, I guess. Nicolea Jokicic spoke of some
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of this during his postgame presser. Of course, there was
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: no postgame show, so we would have no knowledge of this.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: We're going to play some of it because not all
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: wind streaks are created equal, and not all losing streaks
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: are created equal. I'm going to ask you a question
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: real quick. The Nuggets had a run where they lost
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: to OKC at the buzzer, they lost to the Lakers
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: at the buzzer, they beat the Spurs, and they blew
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: out the Rockets. That's a four game run. Did they
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: play better basketball those four games in which they lost
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: two or the last six?
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Do you want that answer? Do you want that answered now?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Don't want the answer right now?
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: The answer is they played better in the two and
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: two strikes because you know right, you see.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: It, You see it right, you see it. Of Course,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: sometimes you lose and you play better basketball. They lost,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: but those two OKC losses, they played better basketball.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: In those games. And you're you're affected by that more
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: in hockey than you are even in hoops.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Sure, we'll get back to this in just a second.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Three oh three, five oh four, nine to two five
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: bag after this, how would.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: You imagine wake up, Brett, stop it. You can't doing
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: this to me.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Elly, next break, next break, Jesus, just a lack of professionalism,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: So here's what happened. So Nellie gets in our ears
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: over here and he says, hey, uh, you have a.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Read coming up after this commercial or something. Nelly's always
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: in our ears too, always always in there.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: But for somebody who said Texas says Brett's stoppingssing, mosure up.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't do anything. He didn't do a damn thing.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Here's what happened.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Moser waiting for his read. I don't think was expecting
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: a commercial that was like ten seconds. So he said,
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: cool hair, by the way, it looks shaven.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: And stupid to you. To me, yeah, he made fun
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: of you. He poked fun at your haircut.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: And then realized about two seconds of dead airs passed
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: and panic hits the on button, which leads me to laugh,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: and then he can't speak.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And then it was time time for him to be
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: a professional, and he couldn't become a professional, just couldn't
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Everything was totally fine until you literally leaped out of
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: your chair.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Because you panic hit the on button.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: It was completely smooth, not a person listening.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad we have a witness this time? Was
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: that my fault? Vick? No, you did nothing wrong, and
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: you lack such professionalism that you refuse to do your
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: reads with your camera on. Look at me. I do
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: my read my camera on all this time. Nobody ever
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: bothers me. I'm unbothered by anyone. You are so worried
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: you turn your camera off, your coward.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: How would you imagine wakemup, Brett? Stop it?
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Listen, listen, play the whole thing one more.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Time, because this is twenty twenty six. This is a
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: professional broadcaster doing a commercial read.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: How would you imagine wakemup, Brett? Stop it? You can't
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: you doing this to me? Ellie? Next break? Next break?
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Not to mention the laugh of a forty years smoker, Right, jeez,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: what was that supposed to be for?
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Would take a guess on as yes, Bell, okay, I'll
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: do it. I probably would prefer you doing it anyway.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: She's very professional, unlike you guys.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: What I what again?
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Maintain your composure and then I'll maintain my composure.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: We're just do We're just sitting here.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: You insulted me, and take it like a man, and
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: don't don't lose your composure, all right, got it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: You can't do this to me, all right, listen.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Let's sound like you're getting awful. Uh, it's like you're
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: tickling mosure just way too much.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Do it again.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: You can't do this to me.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: That sounds like you're.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: In tears and hitting over this plague. Build Riker Winnipeg
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh play, keep going the kind of stop. Let's rock
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: and roll.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Just going back to this real quick and we'll move
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: on now. We're all being accused of being whiners about
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: the Nuggets because they won six straight.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And nobody's whining.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: The results are great, see, but I understand where people
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: are coming from, Like your team wins, you want to
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: talk about the way I dealt with Look, man, I've
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: been a.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Professional like this.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: I did this every Monday after a Broncos game, So
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I know what this feeling is like, and I just
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: need people to understand.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: It.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: To me, is about a behavior that you need to
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: have when the postseason comes up. And it would be
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: different if the Nuggets were sort of a little engine
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: that could a team that was on the rise. But
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: there they're in a category right now of anything short
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: of a title is not good enough, and that's a
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: different sort of thing, and it's why, Moje. We get
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: to the Avs in a bit. But when the Avs
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: lost to Winnipeg over the weekend, you know what I did,
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: That's like, yeah, that stinks. Oh well, because the Avs
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: behave like a team that's going to win a Cup.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: That's why. And it's different to me for the Nuggets
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: because I haven't seen a level of consistent play where
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: I say, over a seven game series, would this level
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: beat Oklahoma City? Would this level beat the Spurs, would
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: this level beat the Timberwolves? And my answer to that
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: is at best? And I don't know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Chris writes in I feel the own is really negative
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: in regard to the Nuggets this morning. They did some
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: good things, but all I hear is doom and gloom.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Don't listen to me, don't listen to us, Listen to them, Yeah, listen.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I'm at every press conference.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: I listened to them.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: They know their defense has to be.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: A lot better, and it wasn't the second half last night.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: It was great last night, forty points in the second half.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I don't think that any of
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: us have been This is Debbie down to the Debbie
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Downer nobody's being a Debbie downer, but we're addressing.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, I'm Debbie downing their defense.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: They their defense overall? Now good enough, No, but I'm
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: not Debbie downer ring the fact that they wanted. They're
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: putting themselves in a position to have home floor against
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: whomever in that first round. But what are the expectations?
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Where should this team be compared to where it is?
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: How should this team be looking in these w's compared
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: to how are they looking in these ws?
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I would not be. All we have in this business
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: is our word. That's all we have.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you asked me for the keys to the game
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: before the Utah game. Do you remember what I said? Defense?
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I said, show me that you can play defense. Show
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: me in these remaining games you can play defense because
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: you're gonna need to play it in the postseason. What
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: did they show you in that Utah game that.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Utah with whoever the hell they're putting on the floor
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: could score.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: So so, so let me get this straight.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: You want me to turn around into the same microphone
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: after I said that's what I wanted to see, that's
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: what they wanted to see. Yeah, and then and then
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: lie to you and say, oh, yeah, I'm joking. They
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: were fine. I'm not doing that. I'm not gonna do that, right,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: So you you called wi down or you call it
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: whatever you want. If they aspire to win an NBA
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: title again, which I think they can, they have to
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: lock down defense. Yeah, they have to.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: They have to know that inside the room. They have
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: to know that when you look at the NBA Brett,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: When I look at the standings in the Western Conference,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: and right now the Nuggets sit in the number four spot.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: There are a game behind the Lakers. Ooh, could I
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: possibly think they could get to the three? Could they?
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: When you look at the defense they play? Though, But
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: let's not count the play in teams. Though, we can
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: if you want to. All right, fine, let's count the
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: play in teams. So the top ten teams in the West,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: including the team beat last night, nobody plays worst defense
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: than the Nuggets.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Nobody. Hey, no, of the top ten teams in the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: playoffs right now.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: In fact, let me go down and look but about
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: bub uh. Yeah. The only teams that play worst defense Memphis,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: New Orleans, Dallas, Utah, Sacramento. They're all out the top
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: ten teams in the West.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all play.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Nuggets play the worst defensive all of them.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Not everybody disagrees with us. Casey says, hey, when you're
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: too positive, everyone calls you a homer. But you put
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: in a little critical thinking and suddenly you're whining sixteen hundred,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: You guys are right. The hell are these people talking about?
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: They do not look good enough right now. They're squeaking
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: by bad teams. They've got to be better. It's okay
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: to guys. The reason why I'm telling you it's okay
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: to think this way is what do you think they're thinking?
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: What do you think they're Their coaching staff is saying,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just curious, what do you think they're thinking?
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: Okay, I just met. I want to save this for
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: a little bit later. It's a question about Adalman and
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: his behavior and what he says post game after games
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: like Utah.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I want to get back to that in a bit,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: but can.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: We start with this because I was conflicted when this
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: happened this weekend.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Got it cut and run through the ball better than
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the guy, get ahead, booser that bole stolen bout Dullins
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: caravan two seconds, tosses it up. We're poor.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: John so a few things real quick. That was obviously
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: the national call of the Yukon in Duke finish, Iron
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Eagle amazing at his job?
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Noah amazed that. No, yes, no, no, last night Yeah,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: sorry Iron No, both of them really good at their job.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Amazing call.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, the Eagles, the Eagles, they rock.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: Secondly, if you saw the announcer cam that they had
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: on that, I thought Bill Raftery died. I thought they
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: almost sent him to the beyond because he looked shocked.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I cannot believe a school and a program of Duke's
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: stature with the lead, they had lost that game.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: So it's their nineteen point league that dissipated at the
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: end of a game. It was also, can I say
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: something real quick? That was the right play to make.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: He just didn't make it. There were two Duke players
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: with all of Yukon's guys on the opposite side of
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: the floor. Throw up a five hundred ball in the
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: game's over. But you throw like a bullet between four arms,
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: and that's what's gonna happen.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Don't need to throw anything. All you have to do
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: if you're Duke, let's just hold the ball.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: The ball.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're coming to foul you they need to get
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the ball back.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is VIC, if he just but there's.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: No reason twenty feet but there's no reason to throw
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: the ball at all bound the ball, hold the ball.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: I think what he's getting at VIC is this. Literally,
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: if he had done anything but what he did, they
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: wouldn't get. That's what That's what That's what I'm getting. Literally,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: he could have put it on the forward, set on
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: it like a chicken on on an egg.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know what to tell you.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: You get the ball inbounded, you could have taken the ball,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: opened up your drawers and put the ball in your pants.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah you you you literally you could have punted the ball. Yep.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Think about all the things had to lead to that.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: By the way, it's not just okay so he threw
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: the ball away. The fact that the dude had to
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: hit a three from the logo and it was nothing
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: but net to close it out too real like, And
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: here's my problem. I was very, very conflicted. And here's why.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: God do I love seeing Duke blow a game like that?
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I think America does. Unless you're a Duke fan, you
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: have no problem seeing that happen to Duke. But who wins?
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I know I almost hate Hurley. I
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: want to Duke vic did you see did you see listen?
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Listen you guys. Might I know there's a lot of
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Duke haters and all that. I wanted Duke and I
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: was upset that Duke glosso.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Did you see Hurley's jacket partially off his body?
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Did you see that? I understand that he's I did
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: not want but I don't want that. You gotta have joy.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Why I do want to want that? I gotta have joy.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I did not want I did not want Yukon to
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: win that game. I wanted Duke to win that game.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: My wife heard an interview with Dan Hurley. It was
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: one of those pregame shows. No, she said, the TV
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: was just odd. She said, what's that guy's name?
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Herd? You were listening to Colin Cowherd at the house.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: It was just on the TV and I saw the
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Yukon coach.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: He seem's like a real jerky.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Well you had a good read on people, babe, because
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: he is a real jerk.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I hate him, and I hate him more than I
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: hate Duke.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: I found that out the second that they hit that shot.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: You know, your wife's an opinionated woman. Don't get me wrong.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: She's very nice unless you rub her the wrong way. Yeah,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: but she's also a pretty good judge in that regard.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: I would give her the wrong way.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Why don't you Dare? Don't you Dare?
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't even think about it, trust me. But she's
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: a pretty good judge of that. And so if she
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: says it, I believe it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I wanted Duke to win that game, and they blew
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: the game. I was so angry at how they blew
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the game. I thought they deserve to lose the game.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: All you have to do if you're John Shire is
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: tell you, guys, when you're going to Duke holding the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: ball right clock. They're coming to get you. They're coming
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: to foul you. They need the ball.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: Wait a minute, I just remembered what she said. This
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: is what made her mad about the early interview. They
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: said something about did you have you second guest? I
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: think coward has n't have you second guess your decision
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: to not what NBA job was he offered? Was it
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: the Celtics the Lakers?
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Was the Lakers game?
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Did you second guess that decision.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: He goes, I second guess all my decisions, saying guess
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: that I sad guess my marriage. And then he stopped
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: and she goes. He said he was about to second
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: guess his marriage. If you ever said that, I was like, nah,
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: I get it. Probably not something you want to say
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: a microphone.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, should be golle.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: You know. And the way it's laying out now, because
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: they play Illinois, they could ease. I mean, I'm not
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: gonna say Illinois going to lay down. That's a pretty
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: good team, but they have the easier road to the
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: championship game. Yukonda.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I think Illinois is gonna give you con all they want.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I hope they do.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Illinois are pretty because you know, why do you know
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: why Illinois in every game? Vic?
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Because they've got a Balkan team. It's a bunch of
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: older dudes from the Bulkans.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: You know what they do. They play hard, They play defense.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they play defense.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: So the score is always somewhere around, you know, sixty
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: two to sixty. I mean that that kind of game.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: T it's they played defy. They can't outscore you. They
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: can't put ninety five on you.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Some would argue that the real national championship is the
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: other semi final Arizona in Michigan, which is gonna be
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be a war. Yep, that's gonna be a show.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I can't wait for that one. Wow.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: I mean the fact that Arizona could just put up
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: like a billion points whenever they want to.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Michigan can too. I know that's gonna be a hell
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: of a game.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Illinois is becoming that. It's like when I hated Virginia.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Every year in the tournament. Is their game for fifty
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: to forty year.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I want of the remaining teams, I want Illinois' team
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Krekman on this one team leg Walden Krekman. I want Illinois.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I want Lou Hanson. I want the Ilini. I wouldn't
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: mind Zona. Nah, I want Illinois.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: They would have buy Zoda. The fact that you.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Called him Zona, that's that reference in three weeks makes
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: me want to vomit freaking soda.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah you know what, I wouldn't mind Zona. I may
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: take a flight to Frisco. Shut up, Yeah, shut up,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Just do another read there.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Most of the let's say, let's hate watch of the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: remaining teams who do you not want to come on,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: then then who I want no part of Michigan. To
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: help Michigan out of there, I want no part. I've
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: always hated Michigan my obviously, you guys know what's fair.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I want no part of Michigan. Get out.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Michigan can.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Go after that in Arizona.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: Give me Illinois Arizona and then we're good.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Give me that.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: And that's how you view these games. You view these
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: games on the condition of hatred. Who do you hate
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: the most? Correct?
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's what the end of the the
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: NCAA tournament is all the time, it's who do I hate?
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: And that's my Now my rooting interest is whoever is
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: playing that team.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: You know what, no stop. What I want you to
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: do is I want you to use the shortened version
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: of every city, every team from there on.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: But referencing the team, just use to shorten their name.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: The fact that I'm being criticized by somebody. You will
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: meet someone and in five seconds you will shorten their
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: name to your own nickname.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: That's because I forget their name.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: We have a text.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: I remember initials. I can do initials pretty good. Yeah,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: but it's the actual full name nothing initials that that
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: works well for me.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Mass Bandit chimes in, You guys are missing the fact
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: that du is going back to the Frozen four.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: We're not missing that fact.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: And you're supposed to be hockey guys. I'm not missing
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: that fact at all. I'm very well.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Aware of it.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Dude. We're thirty six minutes into the program.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna even mention the avalanche.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Hey, mass Bandit, we're very well aware. So next time
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: you want to just add a rundown to our show,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: call and apply for a producer's job and maybe you'll
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: get a chance to have us talk about whatever you
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: want us to talk about at your time. But you
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: know what, it's our show. We will talk about it
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: on our time.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: My mass banded, I have your telephone number. I'll tell
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: you what I'll do after the program today show. If
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: you don't get enough, I will call you and will talk.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Do you apply in your hockey till the cows come home?
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: I will say this now, the mass Bandit has pulled
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: me in. Okay, you're doing this to me.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: D You is so good at what they do and
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: that coach is so good that getting there every year.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Now as they do, David Carl It's it's like, yeah, huh,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: who they are, this is what they did.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: This is where they live.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: They put up four in the first.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: This is where they live.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I think that's never happened. They took the defending champs
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and completely disamowthed them. Dude in that first period.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: So you have understand, but I think that's never happened
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: before in a tournament game where they had four periods
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: or four goals in a period.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: They just popped them hard early. But the thing is
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: they got I mean, they played good hockey all year long,
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: but the conference tournament boom and then they get Cornell
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Blamo five. Oh, then they get the defending national champs
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: for a trip to the Frozen four and Brett they
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: punk them in the first period, and I think that most.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Why are they so good?
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Is it there? I mean I think they haven't.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they they get these Canadians come down
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: and take those scouts.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Well, a lot of teams do. I mean, ASU has
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Canadians that come down.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: To take I understand that, but why are they so
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: much better than every other program?
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: David? Well, they have good players for number one, I know,
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: but how do they get them. David carl is a
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: great good.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Can I ask you, is it because is it because
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: they're able to provide more funds due to the fact
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: they don't have a football team.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: A do you. I don't think there's any doubt about it.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of private money. But if that's the case,
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: then why is the basketball team not better? Why is
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: the Why is the du basketball team that plays a
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: beautiful Magnus arena? Why are they they?
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: They?
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: They never? I mean they have all the money in
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: the world to spend.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Physoretically, for example Gonzaga because look across teams, the national
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: champion the gymnastics that they should have a pool of
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: money because you don't have a football team taking all
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: that money.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Tomorrow is our penultimate regular season AVS ticket Tuesday.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: That means another chance to win AVS tickets. To be
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: listening for the keywords on the twenties all day from
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: your home for the Avs Altitude Sports Radio ninety two five.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: I do want to get to the Avs and their
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: loss over the weekend to the Jets in just a moment,
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: along with an opening series sweep for the Rocks. We'll
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: do all that in a couple of minutes to grind
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: all right motion, So the Avs the upcoming schedule. I
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: want to get to the Jets game in a second,
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: but just to kind of lay this out for people,
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: the Avs have a six point lead right now over
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Dallas for first place with two games in hand.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: On the correct, you obviously don't want to lose Dallas.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Dallas lost yesterday in Philly beyond regulation.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: So Calgary is who you have tonight. Calgary is given
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: up on the year. Vancouver is the game after that
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: on Wednesday. They've given up on the air. And that
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: all leads up to that Dallas game in Dallas on Saturday, correct,
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: But to the Winnipeg game over the weekend just felt
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: like not a typical Avs game. Only was it twenty
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: three shots on goal at the end of it?
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Do you know how frustrating it is to play in
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: those games? How frustrating it is to call those games?
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: What kind of games?
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: And Jet action? Yeah, well, let me explain, because in
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: the NHL people think, we why can't THEVS just do
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: something about it? Well they can't. And again I gave
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: the Jets a lot of credit all night long. They
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: play hard, they played hard for their coach. They played hard.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: The problem with the Jets is they just they lost
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: some offensive scoring. Heli Buck went a little bit, you know.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: I mean he had forty two wins last year.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, be sure, he's got what.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Nineteen something like that. Yeah, So you see the difference here.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: But they can I mean, it's a team that was
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: the best team in the league last year points wise
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: through the regular season, one hundred and sixteen points. They
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: can do that to you because they do play hard
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: and they've got some very good players. It's incredibly frustrating.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: They're allowed to take away the middle of the ice
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: from you. You cannot stick candle and maneuver. They jump
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: on you hard, they backcheck like mothers. They support each
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: other very very well.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: So what if somebody does that in the playoffs to you?
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: You gotta fight through it, Vic, And this is why
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: I say, look for a single game, can that work? Yeah,
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: but you get me. In a seven game series, the
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Avs are going to win out. That's number one. Okay.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: It's just a frustrating way to watch hockey. VIC. Here's
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: an example. In the last thirty minutes and thirty seconds
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: of that game, the Jets had five shots on goal.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Five. Yeah, they weren't.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: All they wanted to do all game long was CounterPunch.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: They never actually tried to really push the issue, you
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? And Vic, get this, In that
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: span the Jets had five shots, the F's had nine nine,
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: so fourteen total shots in thirty the last thirty minutes,
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: in thirty seconds of that game. It's the style they play.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Imagine this, We're playing a football game and you know
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: what it is, Vic, It's nineteen twenty one. There is
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: no passing, it's just running. Yeah, the entire game is
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Russian punt, Russian punt. No passing, No, no, there's none
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: of That's that's what that kind of hockey is like.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: It's incredibly disciplined upon the Jets part, don't get me wrong,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: but it's incredibly frustrating and ugly to watch.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: I know your answer is going to be, I don't
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: know what this is anymore? But what do you think
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: of the goalie interference?
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is anymore? Yeah, I truly
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: do not know. I was asked that yesterday. I said,
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: I've seen mean less called goalie interference less umph, and
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: I've seen way more contact called not goalie interference, right,
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I just truly don't know. Do you think Jerry Bednar
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: would challenge if he thought that it wasn't?
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: Well, their argument is what Landy was the driving force
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: that put him in the position he was in sort
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: of thing like that's the argument, I guess.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, Blackwood's entitled to his blue painting to make
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: a save in his right flipper. You know, it's about
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: when the puckets there and dotted, you know all this.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: How does tapes get to decrease all this kind of thing?
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: What is at the end of the day, you hate
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: to lose, But at this point, given the lead they
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: had against Dallas, it's still okay. Yes, it's still okay.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Still got a game in hand.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: If you're talking about a seven game series, all right.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: I like my guys all day and all night. That's
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: not to say that they don't have to fight through things,
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: and if teams want to get ugly on them, they
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: they don't have to break through that dump and chase
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: and then win those battles. The key here is that
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Winnipeg got a war nothing lead. What is Volardi scores
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: three point fifty one in You're like uh, here we go.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Then the game gets tied, but the Jets don't panic
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: because they're playing their same game. They would love to
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: pull out at least a point. They want to set
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: it to overtime.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: You know, this smacks of the Avs trying to get
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Mackenzie Blackwood right for the postseason.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: So I'm having Nelly come through the post game because
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: if I have this correct, I thought I heard ben
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: Nar say something along the lines of, we are tinkering
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: with lineups right now is to try some different Oh,
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: they definitely are. And look when you have a lead
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: like this. Fine, Now, if Dallas was two points back
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: with no games in hand as opposed to six with
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: two games in hand, you're probably not doing this. But
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: it sounded to me like we're gonna sacrifice maybe the
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: best chance to win tonight to try and get some
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: guys going.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Does that make sense?
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Sure? And the things were mixed up, definitely. Yeah. As
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: you get healthier, things are going to start to slot
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: into place. But you're truck I mean liking was playing
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: with Cadri to begin that game. You have different things,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: different parts, different things being moved, So I mean, who
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: goes to that third line? You got Gabe still up.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: So Gabe was up there with Nathan McKinnon, Martin Nateus
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: wasn't there. Natus was playing with Brock Nelson.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which he had.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: You know, he's been playing with McKinnon all season long.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: So yeah, you're tweaking some things to see if some
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: different things can work, if need be, and so on.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: I see nothing wrong with that.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: By the way, Texter says, can we play audio of
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Moser's goal call props.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: It and Bracy Tour the Afors Big Battle comes up
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: with it to the pointed Man's christ shot.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: Gotta shot from the spit and chicklets boys and that one.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's is that the second time
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: I've ever done that?
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: The butter mine button tell me this that too, you've
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: done that?
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: Like I thought like three or four.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: I haven't done it this year. Oh maybe all last
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: sear I don't know. I don't remember. I thought it
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: was just two.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: Well it's deserved because Park Kelly's having a hell of
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: a year now.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: I was kind of thinking they're gonna win two. But
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, he's got seventeen goals. His previous career
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: high is eight. He's playing his butt off, but I
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: don't listen. I don't think I'm gonna do that anymore,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: my because some of the hate and the accusations come
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: through care it.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Who cares what Dallas thinks.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: It's for It's for our peeps, and it's for you.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: So why, by the way, if.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Dallas Stars fans are insufferable? Yeah, we know that they
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: hate me. I hate them. Let's get it on.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Can I tell you something else that I know it's
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: a stupid feed? Something else that I.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: Noticed over the weekend. And it was one of those
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: like it was two sentences. The first one shocked me,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: the second one blew me away. He was from the
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: official Golden Knights account. It said, the Vagus Golden Knights
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: have relieved Bruce Cassidy of his duties as head coach.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: And I said, hmm, that's pretty surprising.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: I thought it was a darn shifter.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: And and then the next sentence was John Tortorella has
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: been named. He had the same how many John Tortorellas
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: are there?
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: What?
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: How is he the coach of every team every time
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: of vacancy comes up? Is so he's like he's Doc Rivers,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: He's everywhere every time there's a coach getting fired and
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: our new coach is so Torrella.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: Doc Rivers gets fired, nobody thinks he does a really
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: good job. He goes to a TV studio, speaks for
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: a couple of months, something fires our coach and like,
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: you know, we could use Doc Rivers and then he
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: stinks there and then he gets fired again. Then he
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: goes on TV and then they it's just this cycle
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: of torts jobs.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Has John Tortorella had.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: Torts, has said a lot of different jobs. Let me
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: try me try to go through it. He started out
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: the Rangers. He's coached the Lightning to a Stanley Cup championship.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: He's coached Van of course, the Blue Jackets, had the
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Philly Gig recently, and now Vegas.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: He's seen the entire country.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he has. There's I'll tell you, I don't think
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: he's the easiest guy to play.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: I can understand why he wears thin very quickly.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: Do you know who loved playing for him recently? EJ.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, but I'm I guarantee you after a while
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: that wears thin.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: I'm sure it does. But I thought I was being punked.
