  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour A pretty decent night, pretty
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: decent night. Not a bad night. You know, normally come
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: in here complain we cavet you'all that's terrible. It sucked garbage.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I can't say that. Can't say that. Normally we often
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: have a psa on the show that we watched the games,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: so you would not have to. But this was a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: pretty good night, pretty good night. We'll start out in
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the dust bowl.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I was not planning on starting out in the dust ball.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I was like, Ah, that's that's not gonna be that
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: good a game. And here we are. Here we are
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: discussing as Oklahoma the stage game number one, Game one
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Western Conference semi Finals. Nicola Jokic leading the Nuggets into
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: ok c for a matchup with Shae Julius Alexander and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the Thunder, And that was the nightcap after the Boston
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Celtics gagged at home against the Knickerbockers in overtime to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a twenty point lead in the final minutes of that
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: game to lose in overtime. So I said, okay, that'll
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: be the lead. And then no, no, no, no. The
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Nuggets and Thunder got together and upset City as Nikola
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Jokic had forty two points, twenty two rebounds, a partridge
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: in a pear tree and Aaron Garden from downtown n
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: dagger the three point shot and the closing seconds and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets with a mind blowing one is that two
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: dramatic mind blowing They win by two. They come back
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: over the top seeded Thunder there in the late game
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: on Monday night. So Oklahoma City was out of timeouts
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: after Gordon hit the three point shot, they missed a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: desperation heave as time expired, turn out the last. The
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: party's over, just like that. And so Gordon at twenty
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: two points, fourteen rebounds, that's a decent I'd rather lose
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: on a three point shot than a dunk. Like the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Clippers lost to the Nuggets on right at the buzzer,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: but Gordon the game winner again. Jamal Murray, who was spotty,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: was spotty in this game at twenty one points. And
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: so the four seed the Nuggets get home court. Game
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: two will be on Wednesday, back in the sooner state.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I know you're excited about that, but the better store
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is in the losing lock. So that is where we
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: will begin this rant and rave in the knight. So
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: let us discuss the question, despite dropping thirty three points
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: thirty three, how much of the blame does shake gilgis
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Alexander deserve for OKC in this one? So I've got
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Planet Fitness, CDC approved, and West Virginia and we will
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together, and we are going
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to make some blooney, because the thunder were full of
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: blooney the way they played in the final minutes of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: this particular game. So the anatomy of a rally, I've
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: often pointed out that most games are lost, not one.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So to answer the question, despite having thirty three points SGA,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: how much of the blame does he deserve? Quite a bit,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: quite a bit of the blame blooney quite a bit
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of the blame for Oklahoma City. You're the headliner, you're
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the face of the franchise. Blah blah blah blah blah,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: da de facto MVP. Right, he's gonna win the MVP Award.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Be very surprising if he doesn't win the MVP Award.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Here for the regular season, and all of that stuff
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: is deserved, All of it is deserved. That a fine
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: year was great, Oklahoma City won a bunch of games
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and all that. But in this moment, I learned this
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: from Stanley. You've got to go Spider Man. With great
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: power comes great responsibility. And if you're all that good stuff,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you're the MVP or the face of the franchise. YadA YadA,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: YadA YadA. That means in the final minutes, you get
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: it done, you get the job done. Did he do that? No,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: he did not get the job done. You put you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: don't put the team on your back, and you're gonna
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: get called out on it. And he didn't shake yogas
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Alexander in this particular situation, did not step up and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: crunch time instead of going out to Planet Fitness and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: lifting weights and putting the team on your back. All
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that stuff. He's like, you know what, I'm gonna go
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: hit the hay and take a snooze. I'm gonna catch
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: some z's is what I'm going to do. Now, what
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: is my evidence? Down the stretch? If you look at
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the final part of the game, SGA took six shots.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Now the game was blown in the final six thirty
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: nine or so of the game as Denver was able
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to outscore the opposition to close the game and they
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: was going to buy fifteen down the stretch. It was
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a domination situation to close out the game. So the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: question becomes, Okay, you're Shagios. Alexander the Thunder as a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: team shot twenty eight percent. But he was He's the MVP, right,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: he's the guy he had nine points but got outscored
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: by his rifle. I know they play a different position,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: but the Joker nikoley Jokich had sixteen and so you're
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you're minus seven in the head to head MVP MVP
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: guy and so you lose by two. You can do
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the math on that. You don't need me to do
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the male of math. Denver also shot sixty two percent
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to close out the game, and it was a collective
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: suck though, to be totally fair, Shaye deserves the Lions
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: share of the blame because he's supposed to be the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: greatest player in basketball this year. I needn't play like it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: But you look around and the other suck bag players
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: for Oklahoma City. You've got Chet Holmgren, who was like
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a Walmart greeter, leaving the door open for Denver as
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: he missed not one, but two big free throws. Nobody
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: guarding you, there's no one guarding you. Has to play.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Anyone that can make It's the only play I can
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: think of in team sports that anyone can can do
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: at a professional level. Make a foul shot in a game.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: There's no one that's going to block you. No one
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: is going to take the ball from you. You stand
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: at the line, everyone's standing around watching you. You just
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: hold the ball, dribble, dribble shoot in this case, dribble
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: dribble clank, clank, clank, clank me. So that that allowed
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: as the Walmart greater Chet Holgen, that allowed the Nuggets
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to get the ball out. And then the game winning
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: shot at the end by Aaron Gordon, so that that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: allowed it at the bitter end there and the thunder
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: who were either number one or number two in just
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: about every defensive category in pro bouncy ball this year.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: How do they play in the second half. Let's see
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: here a Denver shot fifty percent in the second half
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and scored seventy one points in the final twenty four minutes.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Outstanding defense, boys, way to go, way to shut him down.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Good job by you. Yikes. All right, now, what does
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: this win go to the other side? Page two? What
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: does this win now do for the Nikola Jokic Nuggets
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: as they get the game one wins the best of seven.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: It's only one game and all that stuff, But you
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: obviously set the tone doesn't guarantee anything. There is no
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: such thing as momentum. It's not like now Denver is
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: gonna win the next three games in oh they have
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: all the momentum. That is bull crap. You know it's
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: bull crap, So you don't have to worry about that. However,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: it gives you the upper hand, and especially in a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: series like this, well, you've got one team that has
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: players that have had success in the playoffs, and you've
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: got another team with a bunch of your bronis in
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. When it comes to the playoffs, and so
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: it's a CDC approved booster shot for Denver, right. A
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: booster shot helps keep the immunity level up. And more importantly,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: what it does is it is not so much the confidence.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think Denver needs any confidence per se. They're
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a proud, hearty bunch and all that stuff. But what
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: this does is mess with the mojo of OKAC And
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that's the key here, right. Many have pointed out that's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a fragile team. That is a team that has been
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: lampooned by many Oklahoma City as a paper tiger. They're
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a paper tiger, right, They're just a bit of a
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: fraud regular season team, not built for the big moment
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and all that. And in Game one of this series,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they absolutely proved that. They absolutely proved that is the case.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And so you can expect that Oklahoma City, what are
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: they gonna do. Now They're gonna have to go back
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and the coach is gonna start tinkering a little bit,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: say what did we do wrong? Who aft up? And
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: now they have that extra pressure but a capital P
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and oh man, Now it has been said by many
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that pressure is a privilege, right, and that is true.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: It is also a double edged sword. It is a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: double edged sword. And it's one of the fun things
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: about the plaus We don't really care much about the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: regular season in the NBA, but in the playoffs in
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: all sports, it's whose rises to the occasion. Right, it
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you've done in the past, is what
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you do in that moment and rising the pressure of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the moment. And it's one of those things, right, you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: talk about the pressure, capital p and all that, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: pressure has as we've talked about in recent days. Pipe
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: pipes burst from pressure. Right, pipes burst kaboom from pressure. Also,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: diamonds are made from pressure. So will you be a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: diamond or will you be a pipe? And at this
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: moment we do the show right now tonight, at this moment,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the thunder are the pipe, and Denver is the diamond
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: at this particular moment in time. And as far as
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the the bigger story just side by side for the Nuggets,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: is it the Nicole Jokicic forty two point twenty two
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: rebound performance or is it the clutch Aaron Gordon game
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: winning basket. So I have an unpopular opinion. As good
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: as Jokic was, he set the Nuggets up, but without
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the final dagger, it doesn't work out. Without the shot,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the game winning shot, obviously, the the math doesn't work out,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and the Nuggets would have lost. And so yochis played
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: as well as you could possibly playing, Denver still lost
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Boohoo.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: If that's a brick house, We're in a parallel dimension.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: We're doing a much different mallor monologue about how lucky
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City is that they won this game, and how Denver.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: We know what would have been said if that shot
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: had been missed. We know how that would have gone. Well,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: it's because of fatigue. They were exhausted. Give the Nuggets
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: a break. I would like to address that pet peep.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I realized that I'm wired a little differently than a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: lot of the other gas bags and blowhards. But this
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: is a pet peep. So I'm watching all these games.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting on my ass, should be doing something more productive,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: but it's part of the job. So fine, I'm watching
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: these games. And we are three games in now to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the second round of the NBA plus And if you've
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: paid any attention, there is a common theme that has
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: taking place early on in every one of these games.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: You got Cleveland, Boston, and Oklahoma City who all lost,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: all of them losing at home. Right. And the other hand,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you've got Indiana, New York, and Denver with little rest,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: with little time off, and they are all in the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: winners circle, all of them. Right. So does this postseason
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: prove does it prove that that extra rest is a killer,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: because in these broadcasts they were all laying it on extra,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: extra surupy, extra surupy. But does this postseason, three games
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: into the second round prove that the extra rest in
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the NBA kills the mojo, kills it when you need
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: it most. So I think this is a lame conversation.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I will engage in it mainly to goof on the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: common theme among NBA broadcasters very small sample size, Right,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: that's important to mention, very small sample size. And this
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: changes by the year. We've had this conversation. In the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: baseball playoffs, we've had this conversation that would you rather
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: have the top seed and have that first round by
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: or would you rather be in the wildcard round? And
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: typically it's one of those self fulfilling prophecies where if
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a team does well when they have played in the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: wild card round, and not had time off. You say, well,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: that's what you want. You want to know time off,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: and then if a team on the other side does
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: well with the rest, you say, okay, Like the Dodgers
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: last year and the Yankees both had time off and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: they both got to the World Series. Dodgers end up
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: winning the World Series in baseball. But this NBA conversation
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the broadcasters, I wanted to throw something at my TV. Now.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: The only broadcast I always mute is the Doris Burke broadcast,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: So whatever game she's doing, I mute. But other than that,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I normally have the audio up. Sometimes I turn it
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: down a little bit. But the theme was, oh man,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: these Pacers and the Knicks and the Nuggets, the teams
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that were playing on short rest. It was like they
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: were in West Virginia and they were working in coal
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: mines back in the seventies in West virgin Right cue
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the John Denver song take Me Home Country Roads. Right
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: as I heard that, I was like, oh my god,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: these guys, it is oppressive. It is like there is
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: some kind of slave labor camp. They're playing in the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: NBA and they only had less than forty eight hours.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Nightmere oh, holy fatigue, batman. It's like
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you can see the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Shenandoah River,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: just like the John Denver saw, Like, what is going
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: on here? Somebody get these guys some oxygen in an IV.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: These NBA players, God forbid you play it forty eight
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: minute game. It takes two and a half hours because
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: every five minutes the damn referees are going over to
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: check out the damn replay to look at something. Who cares.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: That's the NBA, right, that's going on no clear path foul. Okay,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: that does not rise to the level of a flagrant.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks for taking seven minutes of my life
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: to decide that. God Anyway, here's the way it works
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: in the NBA. There is an excuse. Every night, every
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: single game, there's an excuse. And since the home teams
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: this season of all lost, and Golden State will test
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the final leg of this theory. The Warriors, off short
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: rest will take on Minnesota, which had a little extra time.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: So if the Warriors win, all man, be prepared. Be prepared.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: But since the home teams so far have all lost,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I can gar wrong take guarantee that, since this is
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: after the fact, every excuse Maker is gonna pivot. They
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: instead of the storyline which was supposed to be all
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I can't believe it. It's unreal, all of this time
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: with these teams rested, and since the teams that were
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: rested lost, they're gonna pivot and say it's not right.

• 16:30
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the Eastern Conference
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: NBA game. We go to Boston and this was projected
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to be a blowout. I got an email from one
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: of our listeners that listens on the sports hub in Boston,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: who said, Ben, all the local guys are convinced this
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: is gonna be at most a gentleman's sweep. Four games
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: should be all the Celtics need to take care of
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the Knicks, and they're already projecting who they're gonna play
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals. Now, I don't know if that's
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: true or not. I'm sleeping during that. I don't know
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: what those guys are happing. But one game, one game
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: into the Eastern Conference semi finals, and things have gone
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: upside down. Top s Turvy Jalen Brunson leading the upstart
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Knickerbockers playing with house money into the Commonwealth for a
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: hoe down with Jason Tatum and the heavily favored Celtics.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Were you watching? Were you watching this game? No, of
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: course you were. No. Well, Jalen Brunson and og Anenobi,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: may the Force be with you. They scored twenty nine
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: points in this game, and the Knicks leaving the Celtics
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: dazed and confused as they win it in overtime. New
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: York oneh eight, Boston one oh five. So Game one
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: goes to the team from the big Apple Carl Anthony Towns,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: who was okay. He had fourteen points thirteen rebounds. It
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't a dominating performance by any means. But the Knicks
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: had lost all four games games against Boston during the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: regular season, which again, that is what has happened, not
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: is what's going to happen, as they lost all four
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: games during the regular season, and that's why they play
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the games. But New York was down by twenty points
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: in the second half of this game. The Boston Celtics,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the reigning champions of the NBA, coughed up a fur ball,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: a big one. Now Game two, we'll be back on
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the Parque floor. That'll be on Wednesday night. Jason Tatum
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: and Jalen Brown both had twenty three points for the Celtics,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: who taken on the chin in game number one. The
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: better story is in that locker room, that is the
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: losing locker room. So that is where we will direct
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: our attention to the question for the esteem panel here,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: who's the fall guy. Who's the fall guy for the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum Celtics. So I've got air force in and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: out and robust DNA and we will combine all of
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: these things together, and we're going to make Boston cream pie,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: which is what the Celtics got. A face full. Boston
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: cream pie is what they got, all right, So number why,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I said, Number why, there's a lot of shame and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: blame to go around. We'd like to shame and blame.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: It's fun to do here. So Boston was up seventy
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: five to fifty five with less than six minutes to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: go in the third quarter. The game's not over at
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: this that point. Obviously it's not over. You still got
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: a quarter and a half to go with the final
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: seventeen to eighteen minutes of the game or so. If
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you just merely take care of your business and don't
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: have any major screw ups, you're going to win the game.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: And as the late great Dennis Green, who worked at
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio for about a month before he got
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: a TV job, said, if you want to crown them,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: then crown their asses. But they are who we thought
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: they were. And the Celtics let him off the hook,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and that's what happened. Now. The issue for Boston in
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: this game down the final eighteen minutes or so of
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the game. It is a King of Pop classic. The
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Man in the mirror. That is what did in the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Celtics in this game. The man in the mirror, Jason Tatum,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: and much of the same conversation we had in a
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: previous hour we thought about Shay Jilgis Alexander and his
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: shortcomings at the end of the game. Well, the same
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: concept applies here. It's not brain surgery. Were just merely
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: talking about sport. Would you look at it? Jason Tatum
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: is supposed to be the franchise player. Close game right now.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: It wasn't even a close game. It should not have
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: been a close game, but it did turn out to
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: be a close game. And the reason is because the
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: way that you close the game. Jason Tatum, who to
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: my knowledge has no military experience, but he looked like
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: he was in the Air Force and he was a
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: piloting the vomit comet to close out the game. How
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: bad was it? I'll tell you so, Jason Tatum. The
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: eyeball test, you knew it wasn't good. But then to
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: close the game, Jason Tatum. Over the final twenty minutes,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: including overtime, Jason Tatum shot three of twelve from the floor.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: He took twelve shots. He only made three of them,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: and we're sitting in here where he's supposed to be
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the franchise player, and we're in here talking about a
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: crap performance by Jason Tatum. The three headed monster of
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the Boston basketball team turned out to be a three
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: headed Garden slug. In this particular game, you had Jason Tatum,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, and Derek White, who has been marvelous. But
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: in the end of the game, up twenty to losing
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: in overtime, Tatum, Brown and White combined to shoot twenty
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: percent twenty point eight percent from the floor in that stretch,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and that's how you blow a twenty point lead. And
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the Celtics as a team, the number that stood out
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: here the forty five missed three point shots, which is
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: an appalling amount of missed three point shots. But the Celtics,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: just in the time they went up twenty to close
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the game, they attempted twenty eight to three point shots
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: in that stretch. They only made six of them from downtown.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: So that is the ingredient that will lead you to defeat.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: So Jason Tatum's gotta wear that now. Page two, and
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: this is a deeper philosophical look at things here. So
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: where is the Celtics panic level? Where's the Celtics panic
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: level after dropping Game one? Is this a mild concern
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: for the Boston basketball team or a full blown crisis?
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Full blown crisis. So, after a thorough Mallard deliberation and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: contemplation about the New York Knickerbockers, we have this as
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: a mild concern. As a mild concern, it is a
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: wake up call that you should not have needed. You
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: should not have needed a wake up call in game
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: one of a series. And the question must be asked,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: did the Celtics underestimate the Knicks? Did they start buying
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: into all the social media chatter that this would be
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: no series, this would be no contest? What is that
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: you're up twenty and you take a little siesta at
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: that that particular point. Now, Joe Missoula, a couple of
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: years ago we nicknamed him, Let him play Joe, Let
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: him play Joe. And in this particular game, Joe mazoul
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: did he make any adjustments? Maybe he did, I just
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: didn't notice it. Did you notice anything that he did?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Things were not going right for the Celtics. Did he
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: ever say, hey, maybe we shouldn't shoot three point shots
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: every effing time down the cart Did he ever say that?
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Let him play, Joe, I didn't notice any adjustment. I'm
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: not a big coaching matter guy. The Denver Nuggets don't
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: have a coach and they just want a game on
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the road in the second round of the end NBA Playoffs.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: But the reason I am only at a mild concern,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and trust me, you know, doing talk radio, it'd be
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: much more fun, full blown five alarm fire for the Celtics,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: and we will be def Con one if Boston loses
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday. But Game one now, we're not going to
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: go there, not yet, cause Madison Square Gardens not tough.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: A bunch of teams go in there and win. They
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: just it's not like the Knicks have any real home
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: court advantage at Madison Square Gardens, so you lose the
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: next game. And again that's a different conversation. But every
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: extra game, every extra game the Celtics play, the chances
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: of injury go up, the chances of heartbreak hotel go
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: up even more. And then the other question that must
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: be asked is do these Celtics get a pass? Do
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: they get a mulligan? Because the Unicorn hardly play and
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: if you saw the game, you know what I'm talking
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: about here, So that would be as the great judge
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: on a reality TV show, Randy Jackson back in the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: day said that would be a no for me. Dog, No, no, no, no, no.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: No.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Chris tops porzingis played only thirteen minutes. He did not
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: get into the game after halftime because he had an illness.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: He had the creeping crud or whatever he had. We
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: don't know. He was out. So here's the issue. Boston,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: even though they didn't have the top record in the East,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: they are perceived to be the top team. Is that
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: a fair statement. I believe it is. Cleveland had the
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: top record, but most most pundits believe that these Celtics
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: are the better team. So you go into this, You're
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: supposed to be the big bad Beast of the East
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and you're the Boston Celtics. And you think of this
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: like In and Out Burger. Now I know there's no
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: In and Out Burger in Boston, but just work with
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: me on this. So they have the secret menu at
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: In and Out Burger and very popular animal style fries,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: very popular. People love that. Some people like that fly Dutchman,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: but those are all extra items. You don't need those
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: things to be good to have a good meal. You
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: don't need those things to have a good meal. You don't.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: And so it's good enough. And the Celtics are good
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: enough without Porzingis. And if Porzingis is the key player,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: come on, now, the Celtics took so many three point
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: shots they always do. The difference is they were able
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: to win a game. Remember the Orlando game in the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: opening round. They won a game the Celtics, and they
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: didn't play very well, they did not do well from
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: three point range, but they won that game. They're playing
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: in the Orlando Magic Knicks are a better team obviously
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: than Orlando. But still all right now, final point, So
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: question is this knicker Bocker team for real? Should we
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: revisit the analysis leading into the series? Are they for real?
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Or was this just a case where they they fell
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: behind by twenty New York and then they caught Boston
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: just kind of lollygagging around having an off end of
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the game. They just thought the game was over. They
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: assumed the Knicks would give up. That's what NBA teams do,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: like the Clippers and other teams, when they fall behind,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: they just quit. There are a bunch of gutless quitters. So
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: that's the question. So the errow on this one is
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: pointing more towards just lollygagging up twenty lolligagging around again
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: until we see this happen a second consecutive game and
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: the heavy underdog, the Knicks are playing with house money,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: absolute house money. Now that being said, if the game
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: is close, if the Celtics do not have a comfortable
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: advantage in these games and it's coming down the stretch,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: who would you rather have in a three or four
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: point game in the final ninety seconds. I'd rather have
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the Knicks. But mainly because of one guy, right, mainly
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: because of one guy. And that's the interesting thing here
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: that one guy who you know who I'm talking about
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: here has robust DNA. He was not the reason that
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the Knicks won this game. And overtime done about Jalen Brunson.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: And Jalen Brunson who clearly has the optimal genetic makeup
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: for big moments in basketball games, but he didn't score
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: in overtime. He was over four from the flour in overtime,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: missed a tear drop that should have won the game
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: in regulation, and it still didn't matter, So he got
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: a dud out of the way. Jalen Brunson down twenty
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the New York Nation, and that the reason they got
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: back in the game was in part because of Brunson
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: down twenty. They cranked on the old Phil Collins tune
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: there thunder and lightning, because you had not only Jalen
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Brunson during the regulation part, but Og and Abe getting
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: it done in a large way. Anonobi. He had the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: clutch gen on this night, big time, big time. Seven
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: of eleven down from down twenty, he made seven of
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: eleven shots and four of seven, four of six, four
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: of six from three point range, and including a big
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: overtime as well. I mean, it was just his night
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: to dominate the Celtics who struggle to make the three
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: point shot throughout the game. And so the Celtics all
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: of a sudden don't turn to garbage, right, This is
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: not a garbage situation. They just don't regularly perform close games.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Most of the games are lopsided for the Celtics. So
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: and the problem with Jason Tatum, as great as Jason
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Tatum has been, he didn't have that dog get him.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I need dogs, not cats. I need dogs doesn't have it,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: haven't seen it. You trust Jalen Brown more than you
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: would trust Jason Tatum, and that's the real kick to
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the nuts for the Celtics. So they're down three at
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the end of the game. You saw what happened to
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: you're watching or you're listening to it. They're down three.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: The Celtics have the ball, a chance to take a
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: three point shot to tie the game. Jalen Brown, who
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: normally is the guy you want with the ball in
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: your hand at the end of the game, he couldn't
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: even get a shot off because Michel Bridges came over
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and ripped the ball out of his hands. He stole
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: the ball. There was robbery on the court, so the
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: sellers didn't even get a game time shot up in overtime.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: You're talking about a masculation situation. What's going on with that?

• 30:41
  Speaker 4: this year and impossible forty million dollars guaranteed next season
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: if he's on the roster, which would make him the
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: height earner an NFL history. Ben and Stafford worth that
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: title and will even be on the roster now.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: When I was told, when I once negotiated a contract,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: you are worth what you can get. So I'm worth peanuts.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: He's worth what he can get, So yeah, I mean sure,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: why not. I'm I'm not a huge Stafford fans. He's
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: a middle of a road quarterback. He's right in the middle,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: slightly above that. And as as long as he's healthy,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: he'll get the money. I don't see any reason he
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: won't get the money. They don't even replace him.
• 31:11

  Speaker 1: The Land of make Believe is Disneyland and NFL math.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: They always embellish the amount of people that attend these events.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I never believe the amount of attendant. There's a lot
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: of people that go to these things, but there's not
• 31:40
