Okay, all right now I'm gonna st it.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Oh yeah, no, clearly, Yeah, we're close. The Spurs almost
won last night. They almost won last night.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
It was not close. I mean I was, I was,
but I was not expecting Philly to come out the
way that they did. I really wasn't. I was really
really wrong on that the Spurs and the timber Wolves
stuff and only went down to the wire.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Uh, in a lot of different ways in that those
last seconds. By the way, let's just hear that again.
This from yesterday's show. This monster to me making picks
on the first night of the Conference semifinals in the
NBA playoffs. Let's hear that again, Sam.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
I think Philly wins tonight, and I think San Antonio
wins tonight. I think Philly continues with the momentum and
they go in and they're gonna they're they're gonna win.
And I think I think the Spurs the first one.
Things are still, they're at home, they're excited.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
So give me the Spurs and Philly mons the Minnesota team.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
I'm going with the knixt tonight and the timber wol Timberwolves.
I'm going to go the opposite of you in more
ways than one for Minnesota. Last night, the Timberwolves w
O O V E.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
S is how I look at it.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
There was but there was a W I called it
last night.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
All right.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
There's a lot to get to from last night. And
even though you got the pick wrong, you love, you
love what you heard from the winning side in Anthony Edwards.

Speaker 6 (04:04):
That a game.

Speaker 7 (04:04):
It wasn't.

Speaker 8 (04:04):
I gave up two office and rebounds, turned the ball over.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Yeah, I'll be better.

Speaker 9 (04:10):
Something about this group backs against the wall.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
You guys are injured.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
There it is there, it is. He'll be better.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
He will be better. Will you be better? That's the
other's a.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Different question tonight, maybe tomorrow, but it could be worse.
But you actually loved what you heard from Anthony Edwards.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yeah, I did a double take when I was at
home and I don't know what I was doing, but
I think I was doing a little light cleaning or whatever,
picking some stuff up, and I did a double take.
I was like, Oh, that's that's a different answer than
I was expecting from Anthony Edwards. I've been critical of
Anthony Edwards over the years. I just feel like I
have said, I don't think he wants to win, and
that's not right. Of course he wants to win, but

(04:50):
there's a difference where when I lose my volleyball game
on a Tuesday night, I don't want to talk to
anybody for like twelve hours.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
Don't talk to me.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
And I'd be like, he moves on quickly after losses,
and it's something that I just that's right. I see
him laugh on the bench while they're losing. I see
him laugh maybe with an opponent after the game, and
it's just something different, like I wish I was maybe
more like Anthony Edwards, where I can let it go
a little bit faster and move on. But I hold
onto it, and I wish he held onto it a

(05:17):
little bit more. And last night with his response, I
was like, Oh, that's the Anthony Edwards that I feel like,
I don't.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
See a lot that I would like to see more of.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Where you won and you were still not satisfied with
your performance, knowing that you weren't even supposed to be playing,
and he felt he seems so dead serious, like there's
a smile that he always has when they're winning, and
even that smile wasn't there and they won.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
So it's just something. It made me do a double
take and I said, okay, okay, eh, I like this.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
I actually think it's in a way this may sound
heavier than it is, but because his personality is the
way he is. I mean he's talking trash to you know,
President Obama as the team's about to go to the Olympics,
say like, that's that's who Anthony Edwards is. And in
a way, if you're in Minnesota, you do have to
kind of take the good with the bad. And I
do agree with you that there was a time in

(06:10):
Anthony Edwards life and I think it's still some sort
where he wasn't serious about anything.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
It seemed that way.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, a few years ago I was I went in
on Anthony Edwards' diet and his fitness level when he
was getting gassed in their series against the Mavericks in
the Western Conference Finals and Luca was cooking him and
he wasn't available to be one hundred percent Anthony Edwards,
and you would see clips of him making jokes about

(06:38):
how he would eat Popeyes and how you would eat
the fiery hot Cheetos, and at some point that does
fall under professionalism, and Karl Anthony Towns, who was his
teammate back then, was even critical of it, but it
didn't register. So with age, maybe Anthony Edwards is becoming
in a way more professional, still having that childlike smile

(07:02):
an attitude that is different than anything else. But I
do think there's growth. I think you could see the
changes just physically in his body from a couple of
years ago. I think that there's a different Anthony Edwards.
The thing that stuck out most to me was that
he knew he wasn't one hundred percent, but he knew
that his presence on the floor playing was going to
affect everyone else, and that is something different that I'm

(07:24):
not sure everyone realizes, but he realized how much he
means to this team. So if he's on the floor,
Montsi had seventy five percent, maybe everybody else gets a
five percent boost because Anthony Edwards is on the floor.
And I think that that just to be able to
realize that shows the growth that you.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Seem to love absolutely and you saw that.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
It was evident in the game when they would double
team him and he would have to dish the ball
out to a teammate if they would hit the three,
then the Spurs had to adjust their defense and they
were like, Okay, we can't double team him right now
because his teammates are hot.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
If he's not on the court, I don't know. The
Spurs win by two.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
That's how important he was, even at only seventy five percent.
And another thing he said in his post game interview,
which I don't think we heard that part yet, but
it was later where he says, for me, it's like
mentally more than anything, Like I was not mentally in
the game in the final minutes. And I thought that
was another thing that all these young NBA players should

(08:24):
hear and say you're right, because sometimes it gets to
the point where physically.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Everybody's really good in the NBA. How are you different?

Speaker 4 (08:32):
It's because you're mentally in it on a different level
for the entire forty eight minutes.

Speaker 10 (08:36):
And I like that.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
He said that also, And if you.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
See what he did on the last possession, you'd probably like, yeah,
you really weren't.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
He wasn't, and he said that, yeah you were, Like
what were you thinking in that moment?

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Did you have a problem with the Spurs last possession?

Speaker 3 (08:51):
I don't think so. I don't think I had a problem.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
He's in Stewart. Did you have any problems with the
Spurs in their last possession last night against Minnesota?

Speaker 9 (09:01):
I think if I had money on the Spurs, I
would have had a problem with it. But because it
didn't work out, I think it's easy to scrutinize.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Correct. Yeah, yeah, that's fair. Iowa, Sam, Isaac Glow and
Cron Do you have any how did you think of
the last possession? I'll tell you what. This is what
I thought of the last possession. Mitch Johnson should have
called timeout and you can say what you want. They
get an open three and it's missed, shot doesn't fall,

(09:30):
Minnesota wins. You get it. To your player who's probably
the best offensive night of that night, and the balls
in his hands with Anthony Edwards not knowing necessarily where
to go, open look, open three, it's easy to hear
Mitch Johnson say like, we got a good look. And

(09:51):
I agree with all of I agree with all of that.
But what dawned on me is this, do you know
why Mitch Johnson didn't call a timeout, not because to
his point that Minnesota looks scrambled on defense, is because
they don't have that guy yet. And we're talking about Wemby,
who shoots oer of eight from three point range. And

(10:11):
we're gonna hear from Victor Webbin Yama in a second.
But do you think at any moment, if if Kevin
Durant was healthy, if tonight the thunder are down by
one and have the basketball, do you think Mark Dagnall
is going to be like, just run it, see what
you can do, or are you gonna get call the
time out and get the ball in? Shake Gill just
Alexander's hands, right, But.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
Shake Gil just Alexander is not on the spurs, correct,
And that's what we need to realize.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
Now that we cannot defense and it didn't then have

(11:00):
ratter and that's that scenario. They didn't have ratter of
Shane Leny. It didn't matter matters.

Speaker 8 (11:04):
These to the lock box didn't mata matters loose on
class als, so it didn't better matters.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
It was two good on Bananama and now that is
till Pinter that I make him all along and I
gone out inference. It's a lot a lot of Jay's
team talk about we're gonna get.

Speaker 11 (11:16):
Brought the ball.

Speaker 6 (11:16):
Also, you know I'm not allowing it for the I
how happened? So he revenn good go the three real
you opened the Green and a ben rate book from
one mont Attery rode.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Two shoes and shoe Shore.

Speaker 8 (11:27):
Assess I'm long your ear from one I the ark
the suppers at the point wow where they they.

Speaker 6 (11:33):
Feel not profided on nothing, they looked ass asshole. It'specific
a G two we want to put to admit the
damn tight shots.

Speaker 11 (11:41):
Can we re reality? He says that I thought I
just want to go back.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
To him loose.

Speaker 12 (11:45):
He says that are part of the reasons I liked it.
Olden Cap had tim tens of someone on their that
I'm not going to to make uss god leaves and
the spurs. Sash hadn't handy cane and of those offenses,
and said, I don't know all those back acts like
he am that moment get carry more so so.

Speaker 11 (12:04):
If I'm not John Johnson, and at the time I had,
I'd write with oh, that would about fifty one socks
like whatever it was, I'm easy.

Speaker 10 (12:11):
No nobody that has at.

Speaker 11 (12:12):
Hand hand right now. No nobody is dreeming what I
want want. Call it all that time out and call
all the treasures, because they call it all that time out,
even even like one think I was going to have
a minute, right.

Speaker 10 (12:21):
You wone's going to go to one.

Speaker 11 (12:23):
So in Minnesota, tims, we're taking a certain way. Wait,
I thought that this is a man gave cook and
none not a time I want to write work. But
because they said made couldn't clamp down to this. You
guys are dress just go go, I would have. I
would like to think that I.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
Really don't even lame him.

Speaker 11 (12:38):
It was a shot by by that guy who adn't
gone to have brought her hands and he he just missistic.
But the sufferers where I'm not even any other boats
softball and was going to live like like you know,
pspcing together the moment said good alies, Well, well the
tens will just look pretty really good.

Speaker 6 (12:55):
But I'm just gonna start the finished I was.

Speaker 11 (12:58):
Because we'd managed to stay in the game for as
far as long as it did. And then it really
don't down ty fire. But that's why he why would
again again?

Speaker 6 (13:06):
And then I think that's fast. Part of buss is
is the learn.

Speaker 11 (13:09):
Learning experience that God comes Frostmas moment. Now it's there's
one of those expends where you can't you can't can't
have mean, you can't wrap, reply, you can't cant. So
now all those all of those story sides know exactly
what can can happen in the colonel moments of aving
because because he's he's that has been there and and
they they us a little way for sure, I feel
I feel like it's a great learns of experience for

(13:29):
them and I another reason that this.

Speaker 8 (13:31):
Was a red call, so said night, the murder of
down On one and the lastises and then to get
around about as a study in Sol's out out and
it's that tells all she hadn't one three his hands
and he hit and she shoots the wall and mean
business is it? I think they start saying, I was
listening there, why wag you should get all the balls?

Speaker 6 (13:52):
Na? Why why didn't you get the ball? So we
got spast serves and hands and v and I guess
I said that says if you three one Aama, there's
there's a lot that comes with him and and and one.

Speaker 8 (14:04):
Announce that not not necessarily there are fair ray end Ross,
but you sho show that some saying that you show
shows every area I'm on. It's always also admitted that
bing doin an honesty is not along its is further
under along as as your host last night again fourteen
eight before that was always don't even an option for
them think you think about that? They rather others has

(14:26):
just go along with the let's just go. This is
a re This isn't brought on drive riving and Decas Jr.

Speaker 6 (14:33):
Sis.

Speaker 8 (14:33):
This is your jordanisician and the steamer John, this is
your dictake is your shot.

Speaker 6 (14:39):
Because because it didn't Bass, then I'm humping Victor with Enama.

Speaker 8 (14:44):
And that's just the point that that I think I'm
not that decissors now when I'm want to talk talking
about the two wars, their theory about the right away
almost less about six second d I last night, how
doubly diffu thing it is to one good se series.
So now nominosuspersers, it don't happen a doe right now.
It's got shot because it's all you know you're producing.

(15:05):
So but tell me put that you're you're on boxes
and specifically actor, not as a bunch of options, as
making me.

Speaker 6 (15:13):
Thanks to me as us.

Speaker 11 (15:17):
I think my golden by price wenty one.

Speaker 6 (15:18):
So I don't.

Speaker 11 (15:19):
I don't think that's gonna happy again because the just
just gave me. Okay, see byne my seconds chuck, shep
intense shot on rocks and they say, why is.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
She can't take it?

Speaker 11 (15:28):
What if she is having a bad, bad game?

Speaker 6 (15:31):
Don't if it's a little are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (15:33):
For you.

Speaker 13 (15:36):
Yell if I'm happy, but but you also if it's carrying.

Speaker 11 (15:48):
These things that I'm not want, no, no at all
and it can tame, that's not not so so you're
hearing it. I'm I'm not having a case. I just
hadn't think it is this game there there was no
good guy. But that's your heart out that incinerience at
the part of the conversation when it comes in the
same as new reserves right now and so so I
don't think it that gets beared and come here and
them to.

Speaker 6 (16:06):
What the undunder might do.

Speaker 11 (16:08):
I want you to ask me, what do we do
to go to this discons do it to the that situation?

Speaker 6 (16:11):
What what says it is doing?

Speaker 11 (16:15):
He'll maybe maybeybe died. I look, okay, cunning haspersers are like,
we're gonna gonna live and not die with somebody else.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
What do you do you do? So said a guy
talking a lot of fasts. But yeah, any, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 14 (16:29):
I don't think maybe fort shop right shot. He has
the money on the people of says series that was scared.

Speaker 6 (16:40):
That not rap about himself.

Speaker 14 (16:41):
So I think the things that listen that that.

Speaker 6 (16:43):
There more important details that I'm not a too child.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
There's the reason why it's not.

Speaker 6 (16:47):
It's concause you didn't know what you were doing to
that chow. That's that's the whole point.

Speaker 11 (16:51):
Can't be doing all with how many.

Speaker 6 (16:52):
Hands out everywhere?

Speaker 8 (16:55):
It's exactly so this is what wait, wait, wait waiting
ball but went on the also spear and here there ne.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
York fox his hands. Oh would rather has this scenario
the TEMs Indian dances and give you took Kate came
hunting hand and it took s s j A. And
then you took for heaving her hands and you took
my Ron James, you know always want the ball in here. Hey, no,
no matter what what you then senses doing one not
my life is this.

Speaker 8 (17:20):
They're unrenoudable as a situations. Sometimes there's I'm nothing you
mean can do?

Speaker 6 (17:24):
Its just point he makes shot and my last night
this is where a round of rocks. Who I was
to what what Zis said and Wise said was let's
happen having more good in media pass I'm not having
in him. He had words fool foscuss because he admitted
in an inning in three or three. So it's not
about in making the business and your ginning the real
ship shot. It's it's a decision. I'm not a call
times I'm out.

Speaker 8 (17:44):
I try to get all the to LinkedIn to his
best player because because the white South San Antonies doesn't
know who benbody Layer is going to be.

Speaker 6 (17:51):
And that's my table, that's my boot white table. Who
in Brussels mounts out to you know, you know Rob
six s Antonio and they be the thread top hunter
couldn't be the w road all over the world one
always it look pretty available. Laarn artist is quick quit
has beens myth office. There's still still arm, still still
going to be coach. That That's what I'm trying to say.

Speaker 11 (18:10):
First, can't say all I think this is it's all
in a good thing from it needs to until light.
It's it's only only it's hainted that in a sense
of I I he's seen the new on your mix.
Now now knows what to do when j Jaylen brunts
and no one knows about the Jay John Hunson and
he he mean me, don't.

Speaker 10 (18:25):
No one else what to do?

Speaker 11 (18:25):
It didn't say it, assuming he's gonna talk all and
then then he does the shot off for whate whatever
in this this situation is this is a great rate.
And so this starts step does Johnson lands like?

Speaker 15 (18:34):
All right?

Speaker 11 (18:35):
He keep all on in the the other thing, you
could be the one taking the funnel shot. It doesn't
does not happy to be a victor on horn yet
that is that is a big thing. If I find
a Jael Johnson, ply all you need no Dan's mos
all a lot longer reason we have the outside that
that will I'm not not about not a bad look.
We'll get it, get us next time, you know, you know,
I feel like another thousand teams baby looking handy. That's
most moment. And it's like this is it conclude in

(18:57):
all almost sport works and all also smart work. I
got I got a sextat hate and he said why
I was right when people wrong down I'm gonna feel
that's of.

Speaker 6 (19:04):
Stress shot and I don't think think, hey he's not
start bad as pleasant. It's not not what I'm arguing about.
And I says, I want to say that ultimate nature.
John john said, he is. That was as they make
sure shot so so so so let's let's hear the
stress out. Let's here's here thing it's the John Johnson.
Let's let's here's the worst stars of joke Jack in
the game.

Speaker 15 (19:22):
That's at the body's just get around and like they
never were gonna user's top time sisters who you look
and you can make sure you gay so because it's
gonna tell me that uh that until time you don't
do the John George.

Speaker 6 (19:38):
Schip said, okay, the church huge thought didn't do and
the shot show a break shut chops transit the time.

Speaker 11 (19:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, yeah yeah.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
And that's that's my point of the whole whole time
out con sense felt found out that without a better
assumption there are props were just in Texas. That's sex.

Speaker 8 (19:58):
It's expectation that it's it's it's actually because it's aside
the point, it's just called hard time to listen to
Samans trying to go the day if they can't beat
his basketball and Dan play with the top players, which

(20:20):
in the IDA they got sideline.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
You know, Minnesota wouldn't try to figure out a way
to get Anthony Edwards the basketball. That's that's my point.
It's more of a it's more of a not in
an indictment, but of where the Spurs really are right
now as a team and Victor wemen Yama and their players.
They aren't to that level where even their own coach
feels that giving the ball to Julian Champagnee for three

(20:43):
is a better option than figuring out a way to
get it to Victor wemen Yama, who, by the way,
if he doesn't happen, could kick it out too, or
if there's a double team, if they run a play
for him or get it to de Aaron Fox. They
went to a guy who did have a decent game
last night, But isn't their first or second option offensively
on that team. That's my whole point. You're what you're

(21:03):
saying is not wrong.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
But also, and I'm just trying to convince you to
change my mind.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
We'll be here forever. She's watch. I'm dan Byer. By
the way, I do want to hear from Victor Webben
Yama after the loss. Let's get the big centers thoughts.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
I think there was some good and some bad, and
I think the bad was, as I said, not going to.

Speaker 7 (21:28):
What we know.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
But I mean it's a lot of It's a lot
of me because.

Speaker 7 (21:33):
Obviously my game wasn't good, wasn't feeling good tonight, and
that's where the team is going to look for me,
you know. And you know, if I had be better,
if if the offensive leaders of our team had been better,
it would have been different.

Speaker 5 (21:51):
So basically, if everything was different, it would have been different.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
If everything was different, it would have been different. There's
a Yogi barrel for you. He was right, he wasn't
right off offensively. I think his game was criticized last
night and I'm not just taking a game one. This
is where the Spurs are. He was five of seventeen,
made up with it on the defensive end, twelve blocks.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
But a lot of people wanted to get impressed by those.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
True, your algorithm was filled with.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
My algorithm was hated on wemb poor guy.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
They accept the loss. They lost by two at home.
They can go to Minnesota, they can win another game.
By the way, if I'm Minnesota, I just sit Anthony
Edwards in game two. Just rest them up, make sure
he's ready for Game three and four wanted. Yeah, rest,
get him as much rest as he can.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Totally.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
You already got what you needed to do, even with
him saying me on the court is a presence. Just
punt game two, go one one, go back to Minnesota
and give Anthony Edwards a little bit more rest.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, especially because you could see him win scene in
that fourth quarter where he went for a layup or
a dunk and.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Came off of it and I was just like, oh no,
his knee, but then he powered through.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
By the way, there was zero chance of that happening.
Zero's also the number of games Montsi got correct picking
last night. I had two, two and zero here on
Cavino and Rich here on Fox Sports Radio. Listen, I
don't get many right, so when I do, we're taking there.

Speaker 16 (23:05):
No.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yeah, when you get whenever you get them right, we
all hear about it.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Finder on social media at Manzi Blagos. You can find
me on ex at Dan Byer on Fox.

Speaker 17 (23:12):

the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Talking dynamic duos on a Tuesday, Maybe that's fitting a
two for Tuesday here on Fox Sports Radio. As we
are hanging out with the cruise. She is Monty, I'm Dan,
Isaac Low and cron Jason Stewart Iowa Sam with us
on this Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
That's right on this Cinco de Mayo, Cinco de Drinco
is what I sent these guys in my email. For
over forty years, Trek has been helping customers find the
ride to ours for how and what and where they
drive ship fast and free back by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation Tyre
dot com the way Tybine should be.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
They're great dynamic duos in sports. Just off the top
of my head, stocked into malone, stocked into malone, Montana
to Rice, do you got any come off the top
of your head?

Speaker 3 (24:10):
At the top of my head? When I was little
it was Steve Nash and Durk Noovitski. Oh remember them? Yes,
together as they separated.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
How about great duos Bonnie and Clyde.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Bonnie and Clyde, All right, are they?

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Fred Astaire Ginger Rogers captain and to Neil captain and
to Neil Isaac Long Cron Jordan and Pippen, Jordan and Pippen.

Speaker 9 (24:35):
He went back to sports. We had gone away from sports,
and he brought us back to sports.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
You know what I was going to say, Iowa and
Sam Nice, Iowa and Sam. I was going to say
Hall and Oates, Hallan Oates, another duo and not getting
along so much these days. But oh, I don't think
I ever will. I think that that is that is
permanently fractured. Batman and Robin and Robin keep on. We
can get if you want to call in even nine

(25:00):
nine on Fox. It's eight seven seven nine to six
six three sixty nine. Hit Mancy up at Monty Milanios.
You can find me at Dan Byer on Fox also
live on our YouTube stream right now, where, of course
somebody tweeted in I agree with Moncy. Actually they wrote
I agree with Monty of course, and then also Manzi
cooked Dan in that last segment. Nope, not, Monty had

(25:24):
some great points she did. This is earlier in the show. Again,
the pro Monzi crowd is always there. That's why I
have to stick up for myself. Yeah, how about Benefer Benefer, Well,
that was actually something I was going to bring up
later on. But yes, of duos that maybe shouldn't have
gotten together again, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck they were together,

(25:45):
they were apart, and then they got back together. And
it's a perfect seguae because there is a duo that's
getting back together. Jason Stewart, is it later this week
that it's gonna happen on?

Speaker 9 (25:56):
Think that's on Friday. I think, in fact, Steven A
might lay it out. If you want to play some
sound here, let's hear it.

Speaker 17 (26:02):
It will be me as Skip Bayless reuniting for the
first time in nearly a decade.

Speaker 6 (26:07):
He got stuff that he wants to get off his chest,
so I'm going to let him do that.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
But in the same breath, what he really really wants
to get off his chest is me.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
He want to get at me. Now, maybe we're playing
into what ESPN and steven A wants us to do,
and that's to get people to watch that first take
on Friday. Maybe it plays in to what Skip Bayless wants,
but it also just brings up the combination of is
this the duo that you wanted to get back together?
I am a steven A guy. I like steven A.

(26:37):
Steven I used to work here at Fox Sports Radio
was nothing but kind and great. I don't have a
bad word to say about steven A. So I am
on stephen A's side. I don't know anything about Skip Bayless.
And if I'm talking about reunions of reunions of what
we would like to see, I actually think people would
rather see steven A and Max Kellerman get back together
again than maybe Skip Bayless. I don't know if people

(26:57):
want to see Skip Bayless back with Steven Hey. Maybe
they'd want to see Skip Bayles's get back with Jannon
Sharp and have their episode and have the realness hit.
But I don't know if this is going to hit
as well as they all hope that it may hit
on Friday.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
I don't know if it's gonna hit either. I'm not
interested in this. The two others you mentioned are more
appealing than these two. But I just feel like this
is going to be.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
Very scripted, very scripted, and there's gonna be a lot
of confrontation, and there's gonna be a lot of.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Things that are a lot of fighting words, and it's
gonna be yelling.

Speaker 6 (27:32):
And this and that.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
But I just assume this is gonna be so scripted, because.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Why would you agree to this if you weren't gonna
get anything out of it, if you weren't going to
you know what I'm saying. So they have to go
into this, I assume, with a plan of how they're
going to do this reunion show.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
But I think it's gonna be scripted.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Here's the thing that I am trying to figure out,
and I'll talk about what reunion I think was the
greatest because I experienced almost a year ago, nine months ago,
Liam and Noel Gallagher brothers Oasis, getting back together. They
reunited for a tour with Limited and this was we

(28:12):
thought the brothers were fighting, but their brothers, their family,
their blood, but everybody then was wondering why are Liam
and Noel now getting back together? And you're saying it's
because they make more money when they're back together when
they're oasis, or there was this enormous cash cole waiting
for them on a tour that they just couldn't shy

(28:35):
away from, and it was. It was a rousing success.
I loved everything. I'm still on a high from the
concert at the Rose Bowl that happened in September. Like
it was, it was magnificent. Their feelings on me are
separate from the reason why they did it. But they
also thought is maybe they will get together, maybe they'll
be a bigger tour in twenty twenty seven. All of
those things play out. It wasn't just because hey, we're brothers,

(28:59):
let's just get back together again. So that's the that's
the underlying like portion of this is what is the
real reason is it to get skipped back into the mainstream?
Is there something on the next level? That's the question.
Those are the questions that I have to answered.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
And the probably is an underline overall goal that they're
both trying to get to, whatever it may be. But
it's not this to me, is not a reunion that
would hit like that or like the reunion of the
Backstree Boys.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
You know what I'm saying, like just what you thought.
You can never see the Backstory Boys again.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Don't worry.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
They got back together. They did split up. It was
over and then Kevin left.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Remember, yeah, I remember Kevin.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
I wouldn't say it was just over. It seemed like
it wasn't that they broke up and they but it
was over that.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
You know, the chapter that was Backstory Boys seemed to
have come to an end, and then Kevin left, and
then they reunited without Kevin, and then Kevin eventually came back.
Those hit certain spots like that's nostalgia, that's us.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Wanting to see entertainment.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
It's this.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
I don't know what this is.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
I don't know who the audience is for this, because
I'm not the audio. This is not something that I
am going to record or tune in or anything like that.
On Friday, if you wouldn't have told me it was.
I saw that they were doing something, but I had
no idea it was this Friday. I don't know who
the audience this is for.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Jason, is that the problem that you have with it
of Yeah, by the way, this is wheelhouse stuff for me.

Speaker 9 (30:16):
I love talking about this stuff. So the producer and
the future programmer in me, this is how he reacts
to this story. It's not that there's no thirst for
skip or there's no thirst for both of these. I
think that the landscape has changed. And you guys tell
me if I'm wrong. My reading of the tea weaves
as far as programming goes, when you have hosts together. Nowadays,

(30:37):
people tune in for like stimulating talk stimulating, not debate,
but just two people have opinions that are interesting. A
sharing of interesting opinions is I think what the market
wants right now. I think it's over two people yelling
at each other. It's over two people who have disagreements

(30:59):
because it seems canned. It seems like you're you're forcing
one to take one side and the other to take
the polar opposite, and it doesn't seem genuine. There are
people in our industry right now that still think that
arguing is good programming when I think it's a turnoff
for viewers and listeners. You guys have an opinion on that.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
I'll say this, and I don't want to speak for
the guys because they're on vacation. But Cavino and Rich
are are in lockstep. They don't always agree, I mean,
you and I don't always agree, but like they've spent
together twenty plus years together.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
I've never cuddled and they've never cuddled.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
They've never seen each other's junk. But I also think
that that.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
It was it is.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yes, actually it is, Isaac. That's the joke of it.
I wouldn't be that. Yeah, yeah, thank goodness, it's in
the open. What kind of guy do you think I am?
Like the point being is they disagree on a lot
of stuff, but it's organic in a way. Rich may
have a point on something, Steve may have it maybe
a Mets Yankee something. It isn't the scripted out yellow

(32:00):
And I don't think it's a coincidence that it's on
a Friday after the Lakers could be down two to
zero in a playoff series, because that's Game two of
that Thunder series is on Thursday night, so you know
there'd be a lot of Lebron talk. You know, there'd
be that sort of conversation. I think all of that
is planned with it. To Jason's point, it's not necessarily
my cup of tea. We can disagree, but I'm not
into the I'm gonna give my take and then somebody's

(32:22):
going to just be in the exact opposite and have
war back and forth.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Exactly. I am down. I don't want to yell at you.
If I'm yelling at you, that means I'm not having
a good time.

Speaker 5 (32:30):
You know.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
I know I raise my voice at you at times,
Dan when I disagree, but that that attack, like, that's
not something I want to listen to. If I'm in
the car and I have just grolling through the stations
and I come across two people just kind of engaged
in what seems like a yelling match, It's going to
be difficult for me to want to stick around.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
But like you said, or like you said, Jason, like
more of like a discussion.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
Where maybe my goal is to change your mind, but
I'm not gonna change your mind if I come at
you being a complete ass, you know what I'm saying.
But the goal should be that I'm here, I'm gonna
try and change your mind, but I'm.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Not gonna do that.

Speaker 9 (33:08):
I'm not trying to win.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, I'm not trying to win.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
I'm not trying.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yeah, it's like I'm trying to change your mind and
see things from my perspective.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
That's my goal. It's never really to win, even though
I do like to win.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
I love winning, but we are never I don't think
you and I are ever trying to beat the other one,
because that's a different feeling.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Like if neither of us comes out of here feeling
like a loser, sure, and.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
I'd feel like there's times where other discussions someone's trying
to make you feel like.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
A Yeah, I have respect for your opinions, whether I
agree or disagree. And it's the same thing with Cavino
and Rich and I think that there's an obvious respect
between steven A and Skip Bayless. I'm just wondering. I'm
just wondering, what is the what is the play after this? Yeah,
because that's that's why this is can't be just this.
This isn't just a one off thing, So what is
the play after it? And to Jason's point, if it's

(33:55):
for something bigger or something more, I'm not sure there's
necessarily an appetite for it. You talk about pairings that
like didn't work right up Monci's Alley, you had Ross
and Rachel be such a great storyline in Friends. Early on,
I couldn't stand it when they were together, and then
all they kind of got together like at the end
and other certain parts and they had the kid together
or whatever it. Yes, that was annoying to me. I

(34:17):
liked it better when they were a part. So not
all reunions are great. They're not.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
Not all reunions are great. Not long ago, we just
saw my Clippers reunite with CP three, and boy that
didn't go well. So that reunion was rough.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Can't go home again, can't go home again? I can't.
I know, not every reunion is going to. Look at
when Lebron and Dwayne Wade tried to team up again
in Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Yeah, like that was a that sucked for Dwayne Wade
more than anybody, like for him totally changed all of it.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
All of the people that Lebron made wear a Calve's uniform.
No disrespect Cleveland, but like it's like just guys you'd
never thought you would ever see and then you are like, huh,
look at look at them. But that was that was
another reunion that ended up going awry.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Another reunion that went awry. John Gruden and the Raiders.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Yeah, yeah, that did not well.

Speaker 6 (35:12):
Well.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
It worked out for the Raiders and Mark Davis up
to a point, but then Gruden was put with those
emails leaked about, and I don't think that Mark Davis
wanted to fire him. Sure there wasn't great success. They didn't,
you know, bring the team back and put them at
a super Bowl caliber team like Gruden did. And then
of course Gruden leaves for the Buccaneers and beats them
in the Super Bowl the next year. But we're getting

(35:36):
some dynamic duo Scott for Mayor on the chat, Nancy
Kerrigan and Tanya Harding. I don't know if they were
ever a team. I'm not I'm not sure. He also
added Aikman to Irvin and Cheech.

Speaker 9 (35:48):
And Chong that's the one, but I'm and it was
very different, by the way, very different things there.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Tanya Harding and and and Nancy Kerrigan never on the
same team competing against each other, but quite the duo.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
But a duo.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Nonetheless, an Irvin were on the same team, never separated
because they never played for another team, so they were
always together. And I don't think there was ever a
point where Cheech and Chong weren't together, right, I don't
think that there was a breakup.

Speaker 9 (36:18):
Yeah, up and smoke was not them separating, you know,
there was smoke was sunt for something else?

Speaker 6 (36:24):
No, it wasn't.

Speaker 9 (36:28):
But you can't mention Kerrigan without Tanya Hardy. They're they're
forever inseparable. But that's a different category. How about how
about James Harden and Kevin Durant. They've had a couple
of reunions, right, it never quite works. It's like a
law of diminishing returns. Every time they get back together,
it doesn't work out.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
You're right, You're right about that. It didn't work out,
and he was Harden was more of the third wheel
in Oklahoma City if you wanted to look at with
Durant westbrook than Harden coming in. But when they, yeah,
tried to team up in Brooklyn and didn't necessarily work out,
and Harden wasn't in shape and Durant wasn't happy with that. So, yeah,

(37:08):
that didn't work out. It didn't work out like you
would have hoped. It wasn't a reunion, but the Bucks
trying to team gian us up with a superstar and
that did not Yeah, they would sound like they were
together at first, but you were trying to pair something
up together. And for the Bucks, it wasn't the first
time because when they had their core team twenty five
years ago of Sam Cassell, Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, Tim

(37:32):
Thomas and went to the Eastern Conference Finals. They ended
up making the trade a couple of years later, trading
Ray Allen to the Sonics for Gary Payton teaming him up.
And yeah, it didn't work out. It did not work
out in Milwaukee with that. So reuniting that trade because
now what happens is because it's the twenty fifth anniversary
of the Sixers going to the Conference finals in two

(37:54):
thousand and one and going to the NBA Finals and
Alan Iverson in that long ye oh my playing in
that final. Every he remembers that. Again, no team has
gotten more mileage out of losing an NBA Finals and
than two thousand and one Philadelphia seventy six Ers, no
doubt about it. Sheeez Monzi Bolognos, I'm Dan pyr We

That's right, Cavino and Rich have never cuddled and have
never seen each other's junk.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
What's up? Everybody happy? Sinco?

Speaker 5 (38:52):
A mayo?

Speaker 3 (38:52):
Sinco? That drinko? I am Monty Belangos. He is Dan
Byer filling in for the guys because they are on
a much deserved vacation.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
Crane on the live chat on YouTube cam Newton reuniting
with Carolina had a good one night stand.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
I like what Michael Lopez said.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy question mark good happened?

Speaker 1 (39:15):
We also got a tweet from lex on X that
didn't mean to rhyme, but I guess it did. If
they're the same letters, I don't even know if it's
maybe I'm just repeating what lex On X said that
twelve Blocks is shrinking. This from our main show tweet
that said Victor Webban Yama shrunk in a big spot.
Nobody was eight from three point range last night. Yeah,

(39:36):
and they didn't look, didn't look to go to him
in the in the clutch when they needed to. They
allowed Julian Champagney to take the game winning shot. And
I'm just I'm surprised by it.

Speaker 4 (39:47):
Yeah, and we're actually not overreacting. Neither of us said
that the series is over in any way.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
How about the Spurs reuniting with relevancy, right, yes, yes,
for two decades they were there and then all of
a sudden the they were off and now they get
women Yama and they're back to it. So welcome back,
angry Spurs fan. Jason Stewart, I was sam Isaac Lowing
Cromp part of the crew. Today we're gonna hear a
war of words between Raymond Green and Austin Rivers. But first, Jason,
we got a call on the lines.

Speaker 9 (40:13):
Gunner in Minnesota really wants to get on on this Dubo.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
All right, let's hear it, gunner O right, great, don't
make us regret this.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Oh, You're not gonna regret this.

Speaker 15 (40:26):
Caroline Patters, Williams and John Stewart, I love it.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yes, they were a great duo in the backfield thunder
and lightning. I would say that Stuart was more of
the thunder, William's more of the lightning, but still two
great backs in Carolina? Was that Big Mike's cousin calling
a Carolina Panthers fan? By the way, are we doing
Big Mike's take runs this place? Whatever that new sub?

Speaker 4 (40:53):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (40:54):
Sam Samon shook his head. No, you are putting the
Keabash a day in advance to not do Mike Big
Mike's usual segment on Wednesday. It's Big Mike who runs
this take. We haven't done any of the see in
our mainstays, so I don't know. I mean, he's here's
the reason why why would we Here's the reason why
I'm not doing midweek Major. A lot of times when

(41:15):
Monsey and I fill in, the guys are in for
Dan Patrick earlier in the day, so they've got their
elements that they do right now. If Big Mike is
here and isn't on with them in the morning. I
don't know why we couldn't do it tomorrow. So I
don't know if I don't know if Big Mike, who
does not run this place by the way, does it.

(41:36):
I mean he has a small area that he controls,
but does not run the whole place. We'll bring it
up for debate. I still think it's open. I think
Big Mike has a welcome seat at the table tomorrow
if he likes to do block Eastern time. If Big
Mike wants to run this take tomorrow, he can do it.
But I will not be doing midweek major.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Okay, thanks so much, Sam, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
Taking a week off.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Yeah, but you're here, but I'm not, so you're not
taking the week off.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
And by the way, I'm taking the week off from
MIDWEKND you're here. Anybody say the Broncos beat the Vikings
nine to six, Anybody say that from the other night
because it was a nine to six hockey game, And
so in baseball when it gets fourteen to seven, people
will try to say, oh, the Steelers they beat the
Bengals fourteen to seven. Oh, sorry, there's the Pirates. And Reds.
It's the worst joke. It's so dumb. You know what

(42:24):
else is dumb? This war of words between Austin Rivers
and I'm sorry she's wants to Bilonio. So I'm Dan
Bayer in for Cavino and Rich. Maybe Austin Rivers can
save us. He was on Dan Patrick on Friday, it
is my mom's birthday talking about talking about Steve Kerr
and this is what it all, this is, this is
how it all started.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
It's ridiculous. It's uto ridicuous. And you know what's shocking.
He has such a high IQ. That's what That's a
big part of his game is how smart of a
basketball player he is. So it's it bewilders me that
he even thinks like this, because it's like Draymonten, them
taking a chance on you and them playing you, and
Steve putting you at the forefront of that offense, making

(43:03):
you be the point forward and letting you allow you
to have that voice, to be the emotional leader of
that team.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
Steve let him be who he was, so to hear
he was hindered.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Especially Drayma has never been an offensive score juggernaut. Is
he's left to open eighty percent of the game, no
one guards him. I don't know what way he was
hindered and why they would ever draw plays for you
to score?

Speaker 6 (43:24):
You were never a scorer.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
So that was drem excuse me. Austin Rivers talking about
Draymond Green saying that Warriors coach Steve Kerr held him back.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
Right, He said that he held him back, said that
there were no plays made for him in the playbook
for I don't know how many years.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
He's like, do you know there's not a single play
for me?

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Right now?

Speaker 3 (43:43):
Okay, yeah, I do believe that.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Because they're first Steph, yeah, Clay.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
For Kevin Durant's yeah, Steph again.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Draymond, why don't you run hit Lebron on the nuts?
How about you run that play?

Speaker 7 (43:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (43:55):
And then get suspended for Game five and then the
rest is history.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
I Dreimond.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
I know this is a new information for us to
hear that Draymond is saying something so completely out of
his ass, but like to then double down on it
and then to attack Austin Rivers, who handled it perfectly
in his response, do we.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
Have that respect?

Speaker 1 (44:14):
We've got Draymond first? So Draymond responding to what Austin
Rivers said on Friday, this is what Draymond had to say, Austin.

Speaker 16 (44:21):
You and I are was just saying my points in
high school. I say high school because that's when you
were at your best. Should he really talk about my
NBA career? God received the biggest bell out in US
history prior to President Trump elling out airlines when his
dad gave him forty two million dollars.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Now we edited that obviously he was longer, but you
do intel with some of the breaks. He wasn't talking
that strange, But that's essentially what Draymond shopp back to
Austin Rivers and then Austin Rivers having what I think
could be the last word, but with Draymond, maybe not
earlier today.

Speaker 10 (44:52):
Draymond, you were the luckiest basketball player I think I've ever.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
Seen, especially in modern day history.

Speaker 5 (44:57):
Let's talk about that.

Speaker 10 (44:58):
You were drafted a franchise with the Hall of Fame
front office, Bob Myers Hall of Fame coach, Steve Kerr,
the greatest shooter.

Speaker 5 (45:07):
Of all time and perhaps the top five player of
all time.

Speaker 10 (45:10):
Steph Curry Hall of Famer, one of the greatest shooters,
Top five shooter.

Speaker 6 (45:14):
Of all time.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
Another Hall of Famer.

Speaker 10 (45:15):
Klay Thompson, the Swiss Army knife himself, the guy who
could do a little bit of everything on the floor
under a good dollar, another Hall of famer. I know,
keep up is a lot of talent, not to mention
one of the most lethal scores of all time and
arguably a top ten player of all time. Kevin Durant,
the same guy you chased off because of this your mouth.
You talk too much, and that's not even counting the
plethora of talent around those guys, the Andrew Wiggins, the

(45:36):
Jordan Pools, who you also chased off.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Cut it out.

Speaker 10 (45:39):
Draymond, you're the backpack jump shooter. You're the guy that
everyone leaves open.

Speaker 6 (45:42):
No one guards you.

Speaker 10 (45:43):
There are hours and hours and hours of film of
just you being.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Left wide open.

Speaker 10 (45:47):
In fact, anybody can just YouTube or Google or watch
any Draymond game ever, and he's opened all game. There
are clips of you getting a rebound and just driving
in a straight line and just getting a wide open
layup because everyone's fanning out to guard the actual talent
on the team. Talk about Steve Krr ended your.

Speaker 5 (46:00):
Career, Bro.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Steve Kerr made your career. How dare you coming at me?

Speaker 6 (46:04):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (46:05):
Which I could give must on two hundred million dollars
with balls and coach.

Speaker 10 (46:08):
You know, the NBA doesn't give coaches coaching jobs and
guys who may or may not sucker punch on the
players and staff ouch.

Speaker 4 (46:17):
And there's a SoundBite I think he may have said
this in with Dan Patrick where he's like Steve.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
Kerr, let you be you? What are you talking about?
He lets you be the crazy guy that you are
on the court. That's what he did for you.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
And I thought that was such a good point because
many teams, many coaches would not have dealt with Draymond
Green let alone, let him be who he is. They
would have you know what I mean, like made him
shrink instead Kurt let him be that. So it's just
kind of like, why are you talking smack on this coach?
And now when you get told what the mic drop

(46:53):
by Austin Rivers, do you want to come and and
talk smack to him and bring up high school? Wasn't
Austin Rivers like huge in college?

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Yes? Yes he was. He was the tenth overall pick.
He was one of the top recruits if not the
top recruit to in high school basketball, which is something
you mentioned as well of Draymond. Yeah, they averaged the
same amount of points. But Austin Rivers is like, I'm
playing a national schedule, right because he was playing in Florida,
that's where he was in high school. But he's like,
that's who I'm playing against, and you're playing a local

(47:21):
schedule and playing against those sorts of players. What you said,
you said to me that for as great as what
Austin Rivers was saying. That he was saying what a
lot of us have already thought about Draymond is that.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
Yeah, I don't think he said anything that anyone is
like surprised that Austin Rivers said it.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
Yes, Are we surprised that he said it out loud
as a player? Maybe?

Speaker 1 (47:42):
Yes? And that is the that is that is the
line of where I think. It's not that Austin Rivers
crossed it in a bad way, but he is now
saying what I think so many other NBA players never
would say publicly. I I assume that this conversation has
probably happened in so many circles. The other thing that

(48:03):
Draymond Green needs to be thankful for with the Golden
State Warriors. Is the thing that shocked me so much
about the Jordan Poole situation was that the Warriors were
more concerned about the leak of the video than of
the actual action by Draymond Green, which was punching a teammate.
So think about that organization having your back and you're

(48:23):
mad because they're not calling a play for you in
a game, or didn't call plays for you, Like, think
about that, Like if this was in any other sort
of workplace, that person is gone. And I don't like
to compare real world to sports a lot of times.
But the Warriors had his back. They did, they backed
him up, and to forget about all of that as well,

(48:46):
I think does not shine well on Draymond.

Speaker 4 (48:49):
No, and again this isn't new right, Like Draymond says
a lot of stuff, but this one, it's like, I
just felt like Kerr catching strays for no reason.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
Added to what Austin Rivers said that he's.

Speaker 4 (48:59):
Like, not only didn't let you be you, he let
you be this point forward that I don't think Draymond
thought he could do, but he became that, and then
he became a defensive star and all that, But it's like,
why attack Kerr in this situation where it seems like
Kerr is out the door?

Speaker 3 (49:17):
You would think that it would just be nice things
to say.

Speaker 4 (49:20):
About the coach that led you and your team to
multiple championships, the coach that let you punch someone and
stay on the team, the coach that let you be
this point forward and kind of facilitate a lot of
the offense for the stars that you play with.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
It's like, why attack him?

Speaker 6 (49:36):
Now?

Speaker 3 (49:37):
This doesn't make any sense to me.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
I will also make this prediction Jason. Actually I'll hold
the prediction at the end. You were intrigued, Jason Stewart
by this audio, just back and forth and really how
it even caught wildfire on social media, And yeah.

Speaker 9 (49:51):
That's what I was intrigued by, is that on my
time on Today, this kept coming up as being repurposed
by people that follow the NBA, people who follow sport
says like a mic drop, And I think everything Austin
said is going to hit Draymond really hard because it's
something that has been talked about by current and former
players and it comes off as very true. Draymond won't

(50:14):
let him have the last word. There's gonna be something else,
but I don't know what he could say. And then
also just the aspect of like what Austin didn't bring up,
isn't Draymond Green noticed the guy who got suspended for
Game five and the twenty sixteen NBA Finals, the greatest
finals of all time if you want to go through,
like they lost a three to one lead, Lebron made
the block and all that stuff that was despite of

(50:36):
Draymond Green. In other words, they would have had an
extra championship. And then you bring up the fight with
Pool after that season, Steve Kerr, after not saying it
all season, said that that had a massive impact on
that team because the Warriors were underwhelming in that season
as well. Two direct causes of Draymond Green actions that

(50:56):
cost Warriors literal championships and seasons.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
I'll give you a third. They basically chose Draymond Green
over Kevin Durant. Remember Kevin Durant came out and said
that nobody stoock up for him when he and Draymond
had that war of words, and so essentially by not
sticking up for Durant, they were sticking up for Draymond Green.
So Durant's like, no matter what you think of Kevin Durant,
he's like, deuces, I'm out of here. There's another point
of it, so you can add a third one to it.

(51:22):
You're right, Draymond Green will come back. I'm not trying
to sound cool in hamp I'm gonna be fifty soon.
But it reminds me of a pop culture thing that
we had lately, the Drake Kendrick Lamar right back and forth.
I don't know if Drake put on a song after
not like us, he may have. I don't know about it.
Like it ended with that point, and I feel that
even if Draymond comes back and says whatever he said,

(51:43):
that it ends with what Austin Rivers said today. And
that's where I think that this beef comes right. And
you're right that he's going to go and say something
and say something more, but it's just gonna be noise.

Speaker 4 (51:55):
That's a really good point because after the way he
ended it, what possibly could you say, Draymond except just
make noise?

Speaker 1 (52:04):
I think, and I'll say this. We had Austin Rivers
on he was a guest of our show when we
were in the other studio. This is years ago, and
I just love the way that that he was during
the interview. Austin Reeves is going to have a better
media career Austin Rivers. Yeah. Literally, the Austin Rivers will
have a better media career than Draymond Green has. Austin

(52:24):
Rivers is really good at this stuff, really good at
this stuff, and he's careful with his words. The Draymond
Green stuff, a lot of it's shock and awe, and
at some point that's going to wear off. But Austin
Rivers is really good at this His he his dad
was able to transition right from from playing and got
into broadcasting and then now obviously coaching. But Austin Rivers

(52:46):
is really good at this business.
