  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Don't bear in the lead, mom man, So I think
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the most compelling story, the most compelling story is what's
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: going on in baseball. We'll get to the NBA later.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: We're gonna start with baseball, though, cause our lead this
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: hour from the Changing of the Guard. Now we'll mention
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: mat A wonderful time in Cincinnati ended up at We
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: did go to the Reds game, uh one with you know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: some of the big supporters of the show. There. We
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: hung out together. I was on my own, so we
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: went to the Reds Tigers game. Had I was with
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Robbie the Mariner fan. My muscle can't close the deal. Neil,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: his son was with me. We had Queen Roxanne, Tommy
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: from Atlanta. We all sat out in the in the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: outfield there in right field, and it was it was great,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and it was like the second or third inning, I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: think it was. I forget exactly when, but Queen Roxanne
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: was futzing around with her phone and she mentioned that
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Alex Cora had been whacked as the Red Sox manager.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: So oh man and uh and so then a bunch
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of stuff came out uh at the nighttime after that,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and then obviously here on Sunday. So it's a pretty
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: big deal. The Red Sox was supposed to be one
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: of the better teams in the American League and they suck.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I will be played better this weekend. Okay, good, congratulations,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a cookie. So Alex Cora, not only him,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: but one, two, three, four, five of his little helpers
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: have been excommunicated from the Red Sox family in the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: mist of this misery. And we're not even out of
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: April yet, and the Red Sox not looking particularly good
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: at this point. Now many people have questioned, what are
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you doing here? Not a lot of answers, Not a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: lot of answers. As one of my buddies in Baltimore
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: pointed out, the Red Sox were so embarrassed by this.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: They had a meeting with the media news conference on
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Sunday and they did not even use the Red Sox backdrop.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: They used the oil backdrop because they were like, well,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: if people aren't paying attention to those sports bars and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: they're flipping through the channels, they'll see the orioles and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: they won't think it's anything about the Red Sox and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: all that. Anyway, the news is Alice Core out. So
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that's the jumping all point. Let us discuss the question
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Alice Core decommissioned as the Red Sox manager over the weekend.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Why did it happen and why did it happen now?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this. I've got Carl's junior, Jimmy
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Buffett and happy but not poppy. Yeah. Well, and we'll
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to crack the code, is what we're going to do.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So A, this is not about the record, which, oh,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: by the way, is pretty bad. The Red Sox team
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: charter is the vomit comet this year. Not good, not
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: good at all, and it's an absolute abomination. That being said,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the reason why this happened and why it happened now
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: is because of John Henry. John Henry was unable to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: handle the smoke, the owner of the team. And every
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: time John Henry has looked at social media, and these
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: guys will have burner accounts on us. So he's looking
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: around looking at the feedback, and he's talking to his
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: buddies at the Hampton's and all these other places that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: they hang out, rich people hang out, and he's absolutely
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: getting char broiled like a Carl's Junior Famous Star or
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a Hearty's if you're east of the Mississippi, and he's
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: just getting charbroyl. John Henry's getting cooked. And he finally realized, well,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I can't take the heat anymore. I mean, I don't
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: like eating a burger, but I do want to be charboiled.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And it's turned into a public relations inferno. And Alice Korra,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: who was the only bucket of water that he realistically
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: had to play at this point, and so he tossed
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: it on the Boston roster. But this roster is pu
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: what sticks. It's a joke, and they're out there hitting
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: like a group of lightweight feather dusters. And that's one thing.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Even when the rest has been bad over the years,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: they've always had good offensive teams right now, they're terrible
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: warning track, power check and they handed a roster which
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: granted was not great. Right if you were go to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the butcher shop, this would be more like Top Round.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: It is not Porterhouse. The Red Sox ownership would like
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to see results that are Porterhouse. It's more Top Round
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: than Porterhouse. And then they it was acting shocked that
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the health department shut the whole thing down because of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a cockroach infestation. And and then you have the biggest
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: uh oh, the biggest uh oh that would be the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: future of the franchise, Roman Anthony, who much like the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Roman Empire, things are not going great right now. The
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: crown Jewel, the guy that will be here with the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Red Sox long after I'm done doing this show. He'll
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: just be here forever. And no so far, well, let's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: see how's that going? All sizzle nosteak the poster child
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: right now for the developmental system of the Red Sox,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: which has got a lot of hype and right this
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: moment not a lot of delivery. Also, the front office
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: is traded for someone named Caleb Durbitt from the Brewers,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: And how's that working out? This guy? If you've seen
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: him play, and I haven't watched much of The Red Sox,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: but if you've seen him play, he looks like he
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: should be calling B seventeen at the local DMV, not
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: replacing Rafie Devers or that cheating astro Alex Bregman. Either way,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not not particularly great. And so John
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Henry like he didn't just fire Alice Cora the manager.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: He needed a human sacrifice. And so he's like, hey,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies. I imagine this conversation happened
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in my head. It did, John Henry. The Red Sox
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: owners like, I love that Joe Versus the Volcano, that
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: old movie back in the day, like forty year old movie.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And so Cora, I'm gonna put him on the on
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the lava and we'll see what happens, you know, because
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a little messing around, f'sing around and all that. The
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: ownership could not stand the product, and it's it's ghastly.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It's been mostly ghastly so far this year. And it's
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: not just a disaster with a Capitol D at least
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: early season baseball. This is like if it was a
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: big production, Hollywood production. We straight to streaming catastrophe. He
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: spent a lot of money and you just boom right
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: right to streaming bad all right now, turning the page,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: but not far so. There's a couple of photos that
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: have been posted by Alice Korra, the one that really
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: rocked the boat. Because everyone gets worked up by photos
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: for our blind listeners, let me describe. So the Red
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Sox coaches that were all sent packing a long walk
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: off a short pier, they were spotted smiling on the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: flight home as they were getting ready to board the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: chartered flight. The Red Sox were in Baltimore, and you
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: had all the coaches minding. Now Jason Veritek, who also
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I guess got reassigned. We'll find out about that later on.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: On Monday, he was giving the thumbs down a mooji
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: but it was his hand. He gave the thumbs down
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: emoji there on the photo, so thumbs down there and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it was posted by Alex Cora on Instagram and then
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: on but wait, there's more on Sunday, and we're heading
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: into a Monday. But on Sunday, it was a nice
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: dinner at an Italian beistra on the North End and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: they were all smiling and these guys are so fricking happy, happy, happy,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: happy days. Question, should Red Sox fans be mad that
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the fired coaches looked happier on that plane ride from
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Baltimore back to Boston than they did all season and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: while enjoying a nice Italian meal. So as the court
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of the Mallard Militia, the judge of the Malasia in
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the courtroom, so the I've got my imaginary gavel and
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit the gavel, all right, I'm hitting the gavel, uh,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And the ruling is guilty as charged. That photo, the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: first one, was not in actually both not just tone deaf.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: It was like a full blown symphony, a grant like
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the Boston Pops of cluelessness. You've got Alice Cora posting
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a smiling, carefree departure, like the whole group. They weren't
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: going back to Boston. They were headed to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: not not back to unemployment. And and that's not act
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to Dan, all right, this was strategic. True. I believe
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: there was a message in that, like there's like, hey,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna f with us, you know, you you
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: idiots upstairs. You had a little dopey ownership group out there,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and so it's also a slap across the face to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the to the hardos that are really invested in the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Red Sox. And then Jason Veritek with the thumbs down
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: body language one oh one. The clubhouse was not aligned,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the urgency was not there, and the other photo, I
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: believe they're all thumbs up. I think the second photo
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that was because they were aware of the blowback from
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the first photo. So instead of going defcon one, the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: coaches went beach mode. And now that's it, and so
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you exposed the rot, the cultural rot with the Red
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Sox here, which is also a case of not having
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: good enough players, but the country club operation masquerading as
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: what was a supposed to be a contender here and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: John Henry needed a fall guy, needed a fall guy. However,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the numbers are not good and they generally do not
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: lie bottom tier offense right now for the Red Sox.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: A lot of empty calorie stats, there's not a lot
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of pulse there. You didn't have to post the photos
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you did, and that tells you that you were trying
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to send a message. I'm talking about Alice Corey here
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: all right now, the last word, keeping the beat, going
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to put the bow on my pride and enjoy here
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a monologue about a manager that getting gets whacked. So
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the question here, after getting poll axed by the Red Sox,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: what is next for Alice core So that's simple, that's simple.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: And this is one of the reasons we don't get
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: too worked up about ripping people in sports who get fired.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: It's not like a regular human being. It's fake, it's phony,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it's fraudulent. These guys get paid in full, they get
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: paid in full. Who gives a rats ass? If these
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: rip them rip their asses? If they get fired, who cares?
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And and Cora is a great example old plated sabbatical.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: He'll be lounging on a pillowy seven point twenty five
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: million dollar salary that not only we paid the rest
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty six, but also in twenty twenty seven,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: which means you can go around to every Italian restaurant
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: on the North End and smile and laugh and go
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: eat cream puffs and shove them down your throat. And
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: who cares? All right? Now, the next stop for Cora
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: is gonna be the boob tube, because he's got friends debonair.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Guy's got friends at ESPN and MLB Network and they
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that's how they hire this jockocracy. They hire these guys,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up on NBC.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: They've got that fugazy revolving door thing where they don't
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: have any color commentator and they put these like local
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: guys on and it's not very good most of the time.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: It sucks. So Cora's out there, and he did TV
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: before he went into to coaching and all that stuff,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and Cora as a manager. The perception is he's gone
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: from the butcher knife to the butter knife, like there's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: not as much edge there. And the Six says they
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: had when he inherited a pretty thick roster not there.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And there's been a lot of last place finishes. It's
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: either been really good or nowhere in the middle. You
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: just suck and TV. You go to a TV it
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: pays not these money pays well and it rehabs your
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: reputation and all that you get paid to talk you
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: never lose. And there's some that are saying he's going
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: to manage again. There's a lot of chatter here as
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: we head into the overnight the Mets got smacked around
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: by the Rockies, and there's a lot of chatter that
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the Mets are going to get rid of their manager
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: at some point, possibly today. We'll see if that happens
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: or not. But Cora, that could be a spot for
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: you know, he's tight with some of the guys on
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the Mets, so that could be a possibility that he
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: ends up there. I think it's doubtful. Why would you
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: want to walk into that mess that's at this point,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: that's not a fixer upper. And so Cora can sit
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: back and zip some Pappy Van Winkle bourbon, get some
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of that high end bourbon, and then just wait for
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the next win. Now owner that's all horny to win's
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: got a roster that's almost there, and not necessarily a
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: meddling owner, but somebody with deep pockets and down the line. Now,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: if you were to say, hey, can you can you
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: pull out the Mallard crystal ball? Yes I can, Yes,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I can. I can pull out the Mallard crystal ball.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: And looking ahead here, you know, keep an eye on
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the Phillies. You got his old old red Sox GM
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Dave Dombrowski. The Phillies are terrible have you seen how
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: bad they are? So Dave Dombrowski in Philadelphia, if he
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: keeps his job, he could lose his job too. Or
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the chaos factory of the Mets as a possibility,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and hey, why not return to the cheating Astros because
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I've not forgotten. I've not forgotten that little weasel Alex
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Kras who's forever got the cooties. He's got the cooties
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: he does, and go back to that old den of iniquity.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Why not go to Houston. They've already brought back Carlos Correa,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: that cheat, and they've got al Bouve, that cheat. So
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: why not bring bring him back, bring korback, bring Beltron back,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: bring him all back, all the cheats, bring them all back.

• 15:29
  Speaker 1: So I lead this hour from a pro bouncy ball
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: So admitted a little bit of a zombie, a little
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: bit of a zombie. And it did not help that
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time watching pro bouncy ball
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: throughout the day. And I did that as a public service.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: It's my active kindness, so you would not have to
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and that's what I did. There were a bunch of
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: games flipping around watching them. Now one of the games
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: We're gonna start with this one because it was like
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the late game and the last game on the card,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: So we're going to start with that, and that would
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: be in Houston where Lebron James and the Lakers entered
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Sunday with a chance to sweep the Rockets and say
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: bye bye to Kevin Durant and his oh my ankle
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And did that happen? No? Not out if you see
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: you watch this game, maybe you were not watching it.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Perhaps not. I'm On Thompson twenty three points and Tarry
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Easton had twenty not the headliners you normally expect, but
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: they were the top guys for the Rockets there, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Houston staved off elimination. They staved it off, and they
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: win by nineteen a route or route after one of
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the great choking dog performances in the history of the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: NBA when they blew a six point lead. I believe
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: it was with less than twenty five seconds to go
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: in the game, something like that. So the Rockets win
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Game four over the Lakers the Western Conference playoff series.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Game five will be win in skid Row in LA.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: The Rockets get their first win in this series. They
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: had fallen behind zero to three. No one has ever
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: come back to win a series in that position. The
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: better story, though, is in the losing locker room, a
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: lot of chatter about Lebron James and how well Lebron
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: has been playing. Well, the table's been turned, and if
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you didn't see this game, the Lakers had a chance
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to eliminate the Rockets. As we said, Lebron James had,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: if not his worst, certainly bottom five worst playoff game
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: of his career. Just ten points for Lebron ten on
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: two of nine shooting. He stayed in the game in
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: garbage time to get to that ten point number. But
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: two of nine shooting and eight turnovers eight of them.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: That's more than some bakeries have on display in thirty
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: three minutes. So it's all good. Jumping out point, let
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question the Lakers Lebron James, who was
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: out there stumbling and bumbling? Is this something or nothing?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: So I've got unplugged supper and snuffaluphagous, and we will
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and try not to
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: go down sesame Street. Although we might. I think we
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: are because we're we mentioned stuffalogus, so common sense would
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: mean we're going down to Sesame Street. So number one
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: for those of you in the back, number one number. Yes,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the arrow on this one is pointing towards something, not nothing,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and it's something that is not good for a lot,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: but I would love this. But can you imagine if
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: this is Lebron's last year and he and they end
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: up the Lakers losing the next three games and get
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: eliminated the first team ever? Would that not be the
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: perfect way first team ever to blow a three nothing lead?
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Would that not be the greatest ending the Lebron James career.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Can we all send good vibrations that the Rockets come back?
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Not that I want the Rockets because don't really care
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: about the Rockets, But that what an ending, What a
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: freaking ending? That would be Lebron's career. The final that's
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: it and you get you swept the Final four after
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: being up three to zero. Now there is a world
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I believe in the multiverse, there is a world where
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: that happens. I don't believe it's the world we're in
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: right now. I'd like it to be. I don't believe
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: it will be the World War in right now and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Lebron this was the Lebron at age forty one face
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: plant game. And we've spent years being lectured by the
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: basketball elite media. Lebron dreams just a fine time, and
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: then he goes out there in an elimination spot and
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: just urinates all over himself and all over the floor,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: defecates on the floor. Lebron didn't just have a bad night.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: It's like he unplugged. He unplugged himself in the middle
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: of the game. Couldn't even reboot, couldn't get to the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: default mode, couldn't get to the default mold. And two
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: people tell you, tell me that I always here this.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: The greats don't have no show games when this season
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: is on the line. You've all told me that a
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: million times, the truly greats never vanish in big games. Well,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: father time, just if you hear the noise there knocked,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: and in fact that was more than knocked. That was
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: actually a battering ram to break the door down. And Lebron,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: if this was a car not an electric car. The
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: if you look at the gas tank, the gauge there
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: it hit e and all the historians and all the
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Lebron fluffers in the media, you got to close your
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: eyes on this. Why you gotta pretend that didn't happen,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: you got That's how that works, right. Bron was terrible,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: was abjectively, by any definite terrible. And the Lakers are
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: They're delusional. They're not legit contenders. They're not They need
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: like seven other players to get hurt, which, oh, by
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the way, is on the way of happening right their
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: entire playoff fate hinges the Lakers on a guy who
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: looked like he needed a nap in this game, like
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: it was I don't know, it was too late. I'm
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: not sure. Certainly a heating pad would have helped some
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: icy hot. He needs that more than a championship ring,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: at least based on what we saw. And you look
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: around and there's there's Luca sipping water on the bench.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: That's good, and he'll billy Kobe's not playing now again,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine the Rockets coming back like this
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: would be an all time, all time, all time. No,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: we can all pray that this happens. It's unlikely to happen, however,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: with every extra game, every unnecessary game, It's fair to say,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: based on what happened going into it over the weekend,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the Rockets blowing the six point lead late, which would
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: have made it a two to one series, which realistic
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: too right now, based on that, you'd say, okay, the
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: the Rockets, this should have just easily lost that game
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. They did not. And so with every extra game,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: another spin, speed and spin, spin, spinsman the Lebron fatigue,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: roulette wheel, and at some point it's gonna go fully
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and possibly kerffluy, And then what do you do? Then?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: What do you do? I don't love What are we
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: gonna do? It's a bit of a problem. It's a
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: bit of a quagmire, if you will. So we'll see
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: about that now. Moving on, but continuing the theme of
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: pro bouncy ball, we go to Toronto and I was
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: told a couple of years ago by the coach of
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the Raptors, Scottie Barnes, All Star, Scottie Barnes, all Star,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: face of the league, Scottie Barnes, Well that hasn't happened.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: But he certainly played. I don't want to say he
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: played well. No, I don't think anyone played well in
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: this game. If you want misshots, this was your game.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Holy crap. Both these teams sucked, but Scotty Barnes hit
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the go ahead foul shot in the final minute. He
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: had twenty three points. Everyone took a gazillion shots to
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: get their numbers. Brandon Ingram twenty three points as well,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and the Raptors sneak through the back door and they
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: get back past the Cavs ninety three to eighty nine.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Holy Strip Club John in Cleveland, And so that means
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that series is now tied up Eastern Conference first round
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: playoff series at two games apiece. Both teams have held
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: serve at home. That series will shift to Cleveland on
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Wednesday for Game five. Now, the better story is in
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the losing locker room. And if you're just a box
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: score sniffer, if you just sniff the box score, you
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: have no idea the depths of despair from the Beard
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: in this game. So that's how we're gonna frame this
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: is the question. How are things looking for the new
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: look James Harden edition of the Cavaliers right now? So
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Cleveland made the big move. They made the big move
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: going on, got hardened from the Clippers. This was the guy.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: It's wild considering he's failed with every other team he's
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: been with. So Cleveland is right on schedule. I looked
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: at the app and they're right on schedule for the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: James Harden playoff cinematic universe, the same script. You just
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: changed the laundry, just changed the jersey, and you're good
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: to go on another clunker from James Harden and the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Cavs who are learning the Cavaliers are learning the hardaway
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: that this is a rerun. This is not something new.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: This is a rerun back to back and belly to
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: belly playoff games with more turnovers than field goals for
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: James Harden. That is not a slump. That is performance
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: art at this point by the Beard. And this trade
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: is becoming the new mistake by the Lake for the Cavaliers.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Harden was supposed to elevate Donovan spot of Mitchell. They
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: made a whole big to do about how Donovan Mitchell
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: this is the guy he wanted, which makes you question
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the basketball IQ of Donovan Mitchell. If he wanted James
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Harden on the Cavaliers, has he not watched the playoffs
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: the last fifteen years? Like what are you thinking, dude? Anyway,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Mitchell wanted him. Be careful what you asked for, And
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: despite supposedly being there to elevate Donovan Mitchell. Harden is
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: dragging him into the playoff abyss, and you've got supper
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: being served here. It's not sloppy Joe's. It's sloppy James.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Sloppy James. Who's adding another layer? This is such a
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: long resume, It is such a humongous resume for James. Sorry,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: he's adding another layer to the resume which I believes
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: up to twenty eight playoff games where he's had more
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: turnovers than baskets and the actual number, I think is
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: in the forties where he's either been even turnovers to
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: field goals made. But it's bad. It's bad. And at
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: some point, at some point, when someone shows you who
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: they are, believe them. It just shows you the how
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the industrial complex of professional sports operates like Harden is
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: a known commodity. You know what you're going to get
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: with James Harden. And yet how many teams keep acquiring
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: James Harden thinking oh, no, it boggles the mind. They
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: think that it's going to be different in this situation. No,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna be different in this situation. It's not.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: And teams keep thinking that they're the exception that they're
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: smarter than everyone else, and they're gonna figure this out.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: They're gonna crack the code and it's not gonna be
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: rock bottom. Everything will be fine, and uh, yeah it's
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: not the case. Yeah, not at all. It's just another
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: episode of the long running situation. And Spider Mitchell, now
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: he wasn't great and he got dragged into, pulled into
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the gravitational suck of James Harden, who we should just
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: name the vomit comet. The Harden commet doesn't sound as
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: good together though. Spider Mitchell and James Harden took thirty
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: eight field goals and they only made twelve of them. Now,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I did not play in the NBA. I don't think
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: that's good. Oh you're being a hater, dude. Yeah, oh,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: you're being a hater. That's not winning basketball. That is
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: a warning label. And the Cavaliers living dangerous now again.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: They should win this series. They still have the games
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: at home and should be able to win at home.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: No shot with James Harden against the Celtics down the line,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: come on, now, who are they kidding? Now? Moves being
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: of Celtics. We'll move on to that game. A final
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: part of this maled monolog. We go to Philly where
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the Sixers got absolutely gobsmacked. Man, it was nut cutting
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: time and they did not go well. Did not go well.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: So the seventy six ers head coach Nick Nurse, not
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: happy really with the effort of a team they've lost
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: by thirty two points at home. Do you know how
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: hard you have to try to suck to lose by
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: thirty two points at home? And the Celtics they absolutely
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: roasted him. And I go back to the actually guy
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: coached the Celtics, Bill Fitch, who I dealt with when
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: he was with the Clippers, and Bill would always say
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: that even if you're out maned and outgunned, if you
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: play fundamental basketball and you play hard and with aggression,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the games are designed in that sport to be close,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: that you'll have a chance to win going to the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: final few minutes of the fourth quarter. And that was
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: his argument years ago. And I know it's a different
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: league now and all that stuff, but it's not wrong
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: on that. We've seen underman teams that had been able
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: to close the gap. So Nick Nurse, his quote was
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the tactical stuff isn't going to mean anything. It's a
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: quote the tackle stuff isn't going to mean anything if
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: we're not going to play with better energy. Nurse said, toughness, guarding,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: rebounding sich. You don't even know if your schemes and
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: what you're trying to do is working, right, he said,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: So that has to take up a big portion of
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: what we're doing, trying to get the players to play hard.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: And I talked about a big mental pickup mentality. He said,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: all right, so you forget this schematic stuff question, where
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: are you at on the head coach in Philly? Nick
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Nurse calling out the effort, the effort of his Sixers players.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: So just keeping it real here, Okay, I knew pretty early.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: It was like early I might have been earlier than this.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I think it was the early second quarter. I jotted
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: down on the notes app on my phone. I said,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: these guys don't seem like they're really that interested. I'm
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: talking about the Sixers and being there. But in terms
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: of the context of Nick Nurse, when the head coach
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: starts chirping about the lack of fight, he's not just
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: diagnosing the problem here, he's admitting he's lost the room.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Because you're either coach or you're allowing it to happen,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: and so much for fighting for your playoff lives. Instead,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: you're watching as your team looks just completely mentally cooked.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Why would they be mentally cooked. They're trying to get
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: on the gotta get their passports so they can go
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: to Cancun and do that. At some point the whole
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: undermanned thing stops being a valid excuse and starts becoming
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: a indictment of everyone that it's just embarrassing. And yeah,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: the Sixers are shorthanded. There's certainly in terms of the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: side by side on the rosters, things are not looking
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: particularly good here. But being outman. Being outman does not
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: excuse being uncompetitive. Again, you can make up for it.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: You can scratch and claw and you can fight, and
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: you should never lose a game by thirty points unless
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: you are a bunch of quitting dogs.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: Arf.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's it. And again, bustin, they have better players. Okay,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: we know that everyone knows that they have better players.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I got it. You know, show some guts, show some
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Inteslina fortifude, and so like nurses, he's out there and
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: he's calling out his players, and that's he was also
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: calling himself out as he's like narrating a slow motion
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: collapse in real time. Now let's not ignore though the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: snuffle uffcus in the room. Well, it does not look
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: good for Nick Nurse. This is a massive f on
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: the scorecard of Joel Embiid, who did come back to
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the roster. He is the face of the franchise. He
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: loved the bull crap the Sixers have served over the years.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: He loved it so much. His nickname is trust the Process. Well,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: how's that working out? How's that working out? Yeah, this
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: is a leadership vacuum from Joel Embiid. You are that
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: franchisees top player, and when the ship be sinking, the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: leader is supposed to grab a bucket and be the
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: first one looking for a life and all that. And
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: this is flat out unacceptable. This is under his watch.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: So it's both Nick Nurse and Joel Embiid. It's a
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: star run business and so they both have to own
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: it one hundred percent. And Philadelphia isn't just losing in
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: some of these games. They are just quitting. The worst thing.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: You can say, you're a quitter, and their quitter shows
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: some freakin' fight. I mean, what it blows my mind, right,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: or just give it up and just say we're done
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: and we'll whirl on vacation. We'll go around somewhere on vacation,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: We'll get out of here and that's that.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Here we are, Here we go, Here we go, Here

  Speaker 1: we go. All how about here degree?
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Here we go?
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: This is one big Ben gets grilled Kooper loop.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: And it was the perfect segue into the third degree
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: because I was going to ask you, Diego Pavias, you know,
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: signed to try and make the Baltimore Ravens R.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes, Do you think he'll make the cut? No?
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I believe he is the size of a munchkin. I
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: hate that. I mean, it's just not big enough. That's
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: why he wasn't drafted. So highly unlikely, highly unlikely he
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: even gets an invited to training camp, Like this unsigned
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: guy can work at The size is the main problem,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: and you can't. How do you overcome that? Is there
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: any pills you can take? I guess there are. We
• 33:29
