This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Suffering from a brownout or was it a Haliburton out?
Well come in the beginning of another edition of the
Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
We are in the air everywhares we flock together, and no,
you'll never listen to sports talk the same way again.

Coast coast, border to mortar and beyond. On the beast
and massively powerful microphones of fsre.
Speaker 4 (01:03):

jock talk, and we're hanging out with you.

and JD in Boston and all my Boston guys had
(01:33):
watching that basketball game. Tyre rack dot com the way
tire buying show me our lead this hour coming from
the Commonwealth. Play the hits, my man, play the hits
are We'll play it so Game two Eastern Finals on
a lazy Thursday night, Tyrese Halliburton's Pacers trying to even
(01:54):
up the spreadsheet against Jason Tatum Celtics. That above the
fold there above the headline, and where where were you
on this wire?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You into it? Will you enget? You might not have
been a game.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Maybe you weren't watching, Maybe you weren't perhaps not, Do
not worry. This is our public service. It's our good
miss for the night. We watched the game so you
would not have to. A player named Jalen Brown, I'm
totally hit the game winning shot in Game one. Jalen
Brown matching a career spectacle performance playoff high forty points,
(02:30):
ten of them. During the iconic twenty nothing run, the
Celtics scored twenty points in a row, which I've heard
is pretty good. I've heard that's pretty pretty good when
you scored twenty points in a row in the first half,
they took the lead for good and Boston smothering Indiana
(02:50):
in that stretch and they win by sixteen one twenty
six to one ten the finals. So that means, if
my math is correct, the Boston basketball team is up
two to h in the Eastern Finals and Jalen Brown
helped turn a five point first quarter deficit into a
fifteen point second quarter lead on that twenty ninzing run.
(03:12):
Jason Tatum did not play well. Derek White he had
twenty three points, Drew Holliday fifteen points, ten assists.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
You can see all the numbers there if you want
look it up.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
But the story here, the headline is on the Indiana side,
where Tyrese Haliburton had only ten points. He did have
eight assists, and then he left the game in the
third quarter with a little less than four minutes to go,
in the third quarter of my aching leg, he said,
or at least I said for him.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
So the better story is in the losing locker room.
That's where we were going to start.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So let us discuss the question is Tyrese Haliburton's injury
the why the Pacers are in the situation There is
Tyrese Haliburton's injury why the Pacers lost this game? So
I've got May first class and Voodoo Bugaloo, and we
will combine all of these things together and we will
(04:09):
create a storm a bruin. There is a storm a
bruin of speculation. So to answer the question, is the
Halliburton injury why the Pacers lost the game? There are
many pundits who are claiming that that was the point
of demarcation. That is what's known as a lazy river
take floating on the lazy river. It is not based
(04:30):
in any reality. So I'm shaking my head no on this.
I almost unplugged my headphones. Here's why, right, Halliburton left
the game for the Pacers with three point forty four
to go in the third quarter. If you're watching, you
know that at that time Indiana was down by eleven
and Boston threw out the third quarter, and then obviously
(04:53):
later on when Halliburton left the game, but they were
able to keep Indiana at arms length. And what happened
here in game two is things normalized and stabilized. And
maybe it's me, or maybe it's maybe Lein, but that
blemish concealer started to fade for Indiana defensively, in particular
(05:15):
in that second quarter, and you started to see those
warts and those moles that showed up, even the offense
malfunctioning in that stretch. When the Pacers self destructed in
that second quarter, when they didn't score for over six minutes.
They went over six minutes without scoring. I don't think
that's good. I don't want to be critical, but I
don't think that's good. And allowed a twenty to nothing
(05:37):
run to the Celtics, and Indiana missed not one, not two,
not three, not four, how about eight, eight consecutive shots
and committed not one, not two with three turnovers to
start the second quarter. So there's nothing that's changed more
in my lifetime than second quarter adjustments. Right, That's why
(06:00):
the game all the idiots that say.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Oh it's half time about Jossman as well, it was
the first quarter into the second quarter adjustments. Now the Celtics,
it would appear other than Jason Tatum had laser like focus.
The message was received after a Game one clunker that
they still won. But outside of Tatum, the rest of
the Celtics at the time Halliburton left the game. The
(06:25):
rest of the Celtics other than Jason Tatum were shooting
fifty five percent double Nichols from the floor and Indiana,
it would appear based on what we have seen, they
blew their one shot. They missed their chance to visit
Upset City in game one. Now they are perfect at
home in the playoffs. They have yet to lose in
(06:46):
the Hoosier State. So there is that.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And will await breathless reporting on the status of Tyrese Haliburton.
Will he play or will he not play? The NBA
very draconian. Who's going to write the first think piece online?
It's not fair the players have to play every other
day in the conference finals. This is Adam Silver's fault.
They should have put more days off.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
You know that's coming.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
You know some jock sniffing reporter is going to say
that or write that or all of the above. All
right now, page two, What is your opinion of Jason
Tatum's performance in the first two games of the Eastern five?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
What is my opinion? My opinion it couldn't hit water
if he fell out of freaking boat.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Myth busting right, myth buddy, Now, Jason Tatum, it's only
two games, but right now I do the show now.
I'm not worried about doing the show two weeks from
now or whatever. Right now, Jason Tatum has a cacophony
of stinkas. There's all kinds of sounds that suck, right.
Jason Tatum eight points four of eleven shooting before Halliburton
(07:52):
got hurt. And then there was some stat padding. Indiana
called off the dogs, they called off the search, they
called off whatever you'll say it, and there was an
extended period of garbage time. And so Tatum ended up
with twenty three points, but he had eight points at
the time the game turned, time the game flipped. The
rest of his teammates were fine, but in this snapshot,
(08:15):
this little snapshot here, Jason Tatum has a first class
seat on the vomit comet on the He vanished in
the fourth quarter. Game one, went about ten minutes, I believe,
without without being anything offensively for the Celtics, and got
bailed out by his teammate Jalen Brown.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
And hmm, it.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Happened again in Dave to It's day Javo de Javo.
Jalen Brown for this Eastern Conference Final has gone from
supporting actor to leading man and Jason Tatum has transformed.
If you're talking about a menu at a high end restaurant,
(08:55):
he has gone from Kobe wagou beef to Salisbury steak
with side of lumpy mashed potatoes. The way he is
played and the Celtics the fan base that has the
green nose, the green nosers, those people. Oh, look at
the numbers, low, look at the final stats. Okay, look
at the context of when those stats came. This is
your supposed to You're Kobe Bryant, this is your this
(09:17):
is your Lebron James, this is your guy and bailed
out by Jalen Brown in game one and in game two.
All right, last word here, So let's go to the
wide angle lens, Wide angle lens. What do you make
of the overall Celtic playoff path in the Eastern Conference
with this latest edition involving Indiana. So this, yet again
(09:40):
is the yellow brick road. Down the yellow brick road
we go. This is a no sweat, no sweat situation.
And I'm not sure whether Joe Missoula did this or
someone else for the Celtics. I'd have to go back
and check. But somebody purchased a voodoo doll because the
Voodoo Bugaloo had cast a spell on you if you
(10:02):
play the Celtics. This has been biblically easy for Boston,
not that they couldn't have won if the other things
had not happened.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
We're time.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
When I say biblical, I'm talking like Moses parting the
Red Sea, or at least Eastern Conference. What about Persigius Persing? Okay,
presingis is the third player on the team. Let's go
down the big board. The Celtics have played the Miami
Heat without Jimmy Buckets, Jimmy Butler. They played the Calves
without Jared Allen, but also Donovan Mitchell missed a chunk
(10:37):
of that series. And now the smart money says Haliburton
isn't going to rub some dirt on it. Is not
going to rub some dirt on it. It is not
going to take pharmacy great ibuy profen and get back
on the court. That he's going to miss a game
or two or maybe the rest of the playoffs. That'd
be surprised if he's back after one day. And so
we'll see about that. But he's either way, he's not
(10:59):
going to be at full throttle when he takes the court.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
So the lesson here.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
The Celtics are two wins away from getting the NBA Finals,
and Lord have mercy on the Mavericks of the Wolves.
Whoever wins the West, because Luca and Kyrie or Aunt
Edwards and whoever your player x on Minnesota, they have
to face not only Boston but the Voodoo Bugeloo in
the NBA Finals.

Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben

huddle up and give you a brain dump Coast Duck coast, Border,

Buying a showb and we are not exhausted. Now if
(13:21):
we were NBA players, we would probably have to take
a break and put our feet up. And it's kind
of hang out for a little bit, chill out. You know,
this job is not that easy. But the show must
go on. The show must go on, and wall I
would love to spend another hour waxing poetic about the
(13:43):
Eastern Conference Finals. I will not do that. I am
not going to bore you with that conversation.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
No, I am not.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Instead, we'll head west, well, well just to cross the Mississippi.
Actually where the Mississippi is. The Mississippi River goes through
the Twin Cities. On one side you got Saint Paul.
On the other side you got Minneapolis.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
That's where the.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Timberwolves play their games. And so little Western Conference conversation
where Luca don Chick and the Mavericks are eating juicy
Lucy's right now. They did take the wind out of
the sales of ant Man and the timber Puffs in
game one. Game two scheduled for to night in the
(14:25):
Twin Cities, a lot of noise about Anthony Edwards, and
we talked about this last hour. Rick Carlyle, coach of Indiana,
said that the Pacers were tired now.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
The night before that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Ant Man, twenty two years old, gassed and the opener
and said it.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
He said it, he said it now.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Surprisingly, when you consider many analysts have been trying to
compare Anthony Edwards to Michael Jordan, it might have happened.
I was a lot younger when Jordan was playing. I
don't remember Jordan Ever getting gassed.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Maybe he did.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Maybe that game at the Boston Garden a little tired
there when he put up that huge stat line.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Maybe that was a tired game. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I bring this up because someone named Chris Hines.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Do you know who that is?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
You don't. Did you see what he said?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
You didn't see what he said? Okay?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Uh so Chris Hines is the minister. He's with Minnesota.
He used a different athlete as a cop. He's a
Timberwols assistant coach.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Chris Heines says he sees elements of.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Mike Tyson Mike Tyson in the way that Anthony Edwards
plays the game because quote, it's hard to beat him.
It's hard to beat him when he senses fear from
an opponent. That's the the money quote money many. He said,
(16:03):
Oh yeah, they fed up, it's over. Heinz quote continues,
it doesn't matter who's in front of him, He's going
to figure out how to lock you the f up
and score on you every single time to annihilate your
whole team.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Close quote all right, So let's discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
A Timberwolve assistant coach comparing Anthony Edwards to Mike Tyson,
do you agree with that take?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
All? Right?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
So I've got fire hose, only fans and DeLorean and
we will combine all of these random things together and
we will spin the wheel. Is what we're going to
do is spin the wheel.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Number.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I love that every comparison between Aunt Edwards and other
athletes is from the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I love that. Ah, that is just great. That is
absolutely wonderful. But I'm gonna have to disagree on this one.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I'm gonna have to disagree on this take for multiple reasons.
The main reason is that Anthony Edwards has not to
this point had the secret sauce that Mike Tyson had.
If you're old enough to have seen Tyson back when
he fought, Mike, Tyson had something that every athlete wishes
they had and only a few get. He had the
(17:31):
fear factor. People were afraid to go into the ring
with Mike Tyson. No one's afraid to get on a
basketball court with Anthony Ayers. People feared Michael Jordan when
he was at the peak of his superpowers, that there
are no opponents that go against Minnesota's like, oh, we
got no chance. And when I remember Tyson in my memory.
(17:52):
Bank opponents occasionally would lose the fight before they even
got into the ring. They would crap their pants. It's
very hard to box when you've got brown streak down
your shorts. And he was a classic swarmer, Mike Tyson. Right,
Tyson came out and he overwhelmed his opponent, and he
(18:13):
would apply constant pressure and he didn't get tired, hitting
get tired. He won twenty six of his first twenty
eight fights by ko or t ko, and I think
it was like sixteen of them or something like that
came in the first nime.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Mike Tyson was a fire hose. That's what he was.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
He was a fire hose. And Anthony Edwards is not
he going against him. It's not a fires if it
is a fire hose, it's an ant man. It's like
a water flow regulator he's got. He's got one of
those water flow regulators that he has on the fire hose,
which I can't stay.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I hate that now again. I'm not.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Trashing and bearing Anthony Edwards the player. I just get
annoyed when I see him comped with Michael Jordan, with
Air Jordan and Iron Mike.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
It's a little much. That's a little much for me.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Eh, I'm like, eh, not too much, especially when Anthony
Edwards the last two games has taken forty shots and
has missed twenty eight of them in a Game seven
closeout game or Minnesota won anyway, and then a game
one at home in a conference final in the final
four thirty percent thirty percent and admitted he needed an
(19:32):
oxygen tank in the last game. All right, page two,
We now move to our obligatory Mallard monologue about the
boop too. Inside the NBA, facing its last supper, now
there is.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
One more year under the Turner contract.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
There is a desperate, i'm told, last minute negotiation between
the NBA and Turner to try to keep a slice
of the by as Amazon is getting involved in this
and so Turner's trying to come up with some extra
money to keep their share. But it's NBCESPN and for
now Amazon. Turner's trying to.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Hang on and it doesn't look good.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So Charles Barkley, commenting yet again, yet again, said that
he may just by himself reboot inside the NBA, that
if TNT gets rid of the show, they own the
rights to it. But if they lose the rights to
the NBA, Charles Barkley will slide on in. He floated
(20:35):
the idea, he said, with Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith,
the people on the show with him. So the question
is it realistic? Is it realistic for Charles Barkley to
reboot Inside the NBA by himself?
Speaker 4 (20:51):
And on this one, I am nodding my head. Yes.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
We are in the perfect era for this kind of thing,
one hundred percent. Now it would be easier to partner
up with a big media company to go to NBC,
or to go to ESPN and do the show there.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
But Barkley, the way we live now, Barkley.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Can become an OnlyFans model, he can become a blogger,
he can put it on the YouTube do it yourself.
We're in the era of do it your self content.
And Barkley's got the money. And while Time Warner or
Times more Worth, the Turner people they own the rights
to Inside the NBA, Charles Barkley, he you know, he's
(21:34):
not contractly obligated. These guys can get out of the
contract and so he can bring the show back under
a different name, and he owns his own production company,
and he'd have to partner with some very powerful people.
But people love Barkley. Barkley would have no problem finding partners.
Sir Charles, it's a no brainer. Do it yourself and
(21:54):
you can be unfiltered. No one will be monitoring. There'll
be no hall monitor to say you can why we
have to bleep that? None of that free reign unfiltered commentary.
My final point A quick quick look at the NBA
gossip mill, the latest daily chatter which I keep an
(22:17):
eye on the blotter. The gossip blotter says the Philadelphia
seventy six Ers long gone from the playoffs, but the
Sixers are considering a run at Clay Thompson, former Splash brother.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Now he's a brick artist and the deal is he.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Would have to sign for a short term contract in Philadelphia.
So the question would it make sense and would it
be a good fit for Klay Thompson with the Sixers.
So looking into my crystal ball. As a distant relative
of Nostra Damas and friend of Nostradinas who lives in Seattle,
I met him. We had a clairvoyant party when I
(22:59):
met him. So looking into the crystal ball only if
you have a DeLorean, if you own a DeLorean, because
you would have to punch the year twenty fifteen into
the dashboard on that DeLawrence.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
So you type in twenty.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Fifteen, and you got to make sure the vehicle's gassed
up and you can get to eighty eight miles per hour.
So you get to eighty eight miles per hour, it's
got to have enough power there and then you're good.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Boom back to the future.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Because that's Pete Klay Thompson, the Klay Thompson, the Sea Captain.
The last couple of years, his ship has been sinking
and what do we always say, do not let a
falling star fall on you. And Klay Thompson is the
very personification. He's the epitome of a falling star. He
is cooked until proven otherwise. If you don't believe me,
(23:48):
look at how he played for the Golden State Warriors
there the last couple of games, especially the last game
Mike Got No legs, brick Layer. If guys like Aunt
Edwards are are feeling it and they're totally frazzled and
zonked at age twenty two, Klay Thompson's got a lot
more miles on the odometer than that, do you understand?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Right, he's not supposed to get it right.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Heps to get it right all the time.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
What are you talking about? Ruin the game? You ruin
the game? All right? Go ahead, COOPERLA where.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
We have here?
Speaker 9 (24:28):
Well, Christian McCaffrey didn't show up to the start of
OTAs in San Francisco, and while Kyle Shanahan tiptoed around
the reason for CMC's absence, a source with knowledge of
the situation has said that his absence isn't due to
his contract.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Ben, are you buying that?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Uh No, because that's his job. Like what did you do?
You have to go golfing? Like what was he doing?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Like?
Speaker 4 (24:49):
What else is there to do? This is your job?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You're like a teacher. You're done. After the forty nine
ers played the Super Bowl mid February and they had
all you have a couple of months here to you know,
hang out, do nothing?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Like what else you got going on?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I mean, you're being paid a ton of money, so
I think there is something to the contract.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
He wants to have redone. Next.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
Bryce Young is apparently impressing his teammates this offseason, as
they recently heaped praise on the second year quarterback. Ben,
do you think Young will improve under a new Panthers
coaching staff.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well, he can't get any worse, or else he'll be
out of the NFL. But Dave Canalys is supposed to
be a quarterback whisperer because he had one good year
with Baker Mayfield. So yeah, he better get better. I
expect him to be better. He was so bad he
looked like he didn't even belong in the NFL.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
Next, it's being reported that Chris tops Porzingis could make
his return by Game four of the Eastern Conference Finals. Now, Ben,
let's assume the Celtics advance to the finals. How important
does Porzingis in a matchup against either Western Conference opponent.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Well, he's more important there. He's not going to play
in the Eastern Conference house. But yeah, they need him
in the finals, but he's not imperative that he plays.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
How do we do it? Cool?

It's Big Ben's lame joke of the week. Let's do this,
it's Big Ben's lame jokes.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
We are there, weed Man in Miami Lincoln Road.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Still weed Man. Yeah, all right? I did what before
we get started?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I didn't want to acknowledge our friend George and Uvalde, Texas.
He's a regular joke writer, so some very funny jokes in.
He's not sending any jokes this week because today is
the second anniversary of that elementary school shooting a couple
of years ago at rob Elementary School. So he's a
teacher in Uvaldi, so spent a couple of seconds thinking
about those poor kids and whatnot today. So George, I
(26:47):
know you'll be back, you said next week with some
horrible Lizzo.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Jokes, So thank you. I know you're you're listening. All right,
let's get to it. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
We'll lead off with one from George. Why is Lizzo's
favorite time of the year? Actually, this is not from Joe,
is just some somebody else. Why is Lizzo's favorite time
of the year the Easter season?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Why?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Well, because it kicks off with fat Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
You like that? You like that one?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Uh?

Your artery is getting cards.
Speaker 8 (36:34):
I love the popcorn.
Speaker 4 (36:35):

Speaker 1 (36:37):
If you fill a spray bottle full of the liquid butter,
you can take it in with you and spray it

it up for you.
Speaker 4 (37:48):

Speaker 9 (37:48):
This is this is documentary. Yes, it is a documentary.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
Like the military?
Speaker 8 (38:02):
It is?
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Okay, Yeah, I used to watch them when I was
a kid.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
The El Tora Marine Base in Orange County lived near
there and no longer exists, But it was awesome.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
That was like the.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Highlight because we got to see the show first because
they would they would practice all week before the air show,
all right, for the two weeks before we got free Blue.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Angel shows every afternoon.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
We knew exactly when they were flying, and as little kids,
we would go out and.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
We were like, we thought it was like the coolest
thing in the world.
Speaker 8 (38:26):
There were some amazing YouTube videos of some of their stuff. Like,
you know, a camera gobro in the cockpit and stuff
like that.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
It's crazy.
Speaker 8 (38:32):
Yes, this is probably right up your alley.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Then it's yeah, yeah, where is it? What?
Speaker 8 (38:36):
It's on Amazon Prime?
Speaker 9 (38:37):
Okay, I got it, says Saw with the Blue Angels
and a brand new documentary featuring never before seen footage
that chronicles a year with the Navy's Elite Flight Demonstration Squadron.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
I will check that out, and I will not allow
I will watch it at the gym so my wife,
because my wife does probably no interest in that.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
So I'll watch on treadmill.
Speaker 9 (38:55):
And then last thing that I want to mention is
a documentary that will premiere on Wednesday, Wednesday of next
week on HBO and it is called uh movie Pass
Movie Crash.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Oh that sounds good too. I remember you. You were
part of that, right, Yes, I was. I tried to
sign up, but when I signed up they started putting
limits on it.
Speaker 8 (39:19):
Oh it was already past the heyday.
Speaker 9 (39:21):
Yeah yeah, So, of course this tells the story of
the the meteoric rise and the stranger than fiction implosion
of the theatrical movie subscription app movie Pass.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
There is a pattern where's what platform is that on HBO. Okay,
there's a pattern here, Coop. Didn't you how many shrimp
did you eat when you went to Red Lobster?
Speaker 8 (39:39):
It's like eighty one eighty one?
Speaker 1 (39:41):
They went out of business. You had the movie pass,
they went out of business. I think Coop that you are.
There's a common denominator and it's justin Cooper.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
That's what I think.
Speaker 9 (39:50):
So should I Should I go take advantage of Buffalo
wild Way going cross.

would eat one more and and look and look at
me like okay, and you're gonna keep going, dude.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
This guy is a boss.
Speaker 1 (40:41):

watching that basketball game. Tyre rack dot com the way
tire buying show me our lead this hour coming from
the Commonwealth. Play the hits, my man, play the hits
are We'll play it so Game two Eastern Finals on
a lazy Thursday night, Tyrese Halliburton's Pacers trying to even
(01:54):
up the spreadsheet against Jason Tatum Celtics. That above the
fold there above the headline, and where where were you
on this wire?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You into it? Will you enget? You might not have
been a game.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Maybe you weren't watching, Maybe you weren't perhaps not, Do
not worry. This is our public service. It's our good
miss for the night. We watched the game so you
would not have to. A player named Jalen Brown, I'm
totally hit the game winning shot in Game one. Jalen
Brown matching a career spectacle performance playoff high forty points,
(02:30):
ten of them. During the iconic twenty nothing run, the
Celtics scored twenty points in a row, which I've heard
is pretty good. I've heard that's pretty pretty good when
you scored twenty points in a row in the first half,
they took the lead for good and Boston smothering Indiana
(02:50):
in that stretch and they win by sixteen one twenty
six to one ten the finals. So that means, if
my math is correct, the Boston basketball team is up
two to h in the Eastern Finals and Jalen Brown
helped turn a five point first quarter deficit into a
fifteen point second quarter lead on that twenty ninzing run.
(03:12):
Jason Tatum did not play well. Derek White he had
twenty three points, Drew Holliday fifteen points, ten assists.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
You can see all the numbers there if you want
look it up.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
But the story here, the headline is on the Indiana side,
where Tyrese Haliburton had only ten points. He did have
eight assists, and then he left the game in the
third quarter with a little less than four minutes to go,
in the third quarter of my aching leg, he said,
or at least I said for him.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
So the better story is in the losing locker room.
That's where we were going to start.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So let us discuss the question is Tyrese Haliburton's injury
the why the Pacers are in the situation There is
Tyrese Haliburton's injury why the Pacers lost this game? So
I've got May first class and Voodoo Bugaloo, and we
will combine all of these things together and we will
(04:09):
create a storm a bruin. There is a storm a
bruin of speculation. So to answer the question, is the
Halliburton injury why the Pacers lost the game? There are
many pundits who are claiming that that was the point
of demarcation. That is what's known as a lazy river
take floating on the lazy river. It is not based
(04:30):
in any reality. So I'm shaking my head no on this.
I almost unplugged my headphones. Here's why, right, Halliburton left
the game for the Pacers with three point forty four
to go in the third quarter. If you're watching, you
know that at that time Indiana was down by eleven
and Boston threw out the third quarter, and then obviously
(04:53):
later on when Halliburton left the game, but they were
able to keep Indiana at arms length. And what happened
here in game two is things normalized and stabilized. And
maybe it's me, or maybe it's maybe Lein, but that
blemish concealer started to fade for Indiana defensively, in particular
(05:15):
in that second quarter, and you started to see those
warts and those moles that showed up, even the offense
malfunctioning in that stretch. When the Pacers self destructed in
that second quarter, when they didn't score for over six minutes.
They went over six minutes without scoring. I don't think
that's good. I don't want to be critical, but I
don't think that's good. And allowed a twenty to nothing
(05:37):
run to the Celtics, and Indiana missed not one, not two,
not three, not four, how about eight, eight consecutive shots
and committed not one, not two with three turnovers to
start the second quarter. So there's nothing that's changed more
in my lifetime than second quarter adjustments. Right, That's why
(06:00):
the game all the idiots that say.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Oh it's half time about Jossman as well, it was
the first quarter into the second quarter adjustments. Now the Celtics,
it would appear other than Jason Tatum had laser like focus.
The message was received after a Game one clunker that
they still won. But outside of Tatum, the rest of
the Celtics at the time Halliburton left the game. The
(06:25):
rest of the Celtics other than Jason Tatum were shooting
fifty five percent double Nichols from the floor and Indiana,
it would appear based on what we have seen, they
blew their one shot. They missed their chance to visit
Upset City in game one. Now they are perfect at
home in the playoffs. They have yet to lose in
(06:46):
the Hoosier State. So there is that.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And will await breathless reporting on the status of Tyrese Haliburton.
Will he play or will he not play? The NBA
very draconian. Who's going to write the first think piece online?
It's not fair the players have to play every other
day in the conference finals. This is Adam Silver's fault.
They should have put more days off.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
You know that's coming.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
You know some jock sniffing reporter is going to say
that or write that or all of the above. All
right now, page two, What is your opinion of Jason
Tatum's performance in the first two games of the Eastern five?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
What is my opinion? My opinion it couldn't hit water
if he fell out of freaking boat.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Myth busting right, myth buddy, Now, Jason Tatum, it's only
two games, but right now I do the show now.
I'm not worried about doing the show two weeks from
now or whatever. Right now, Jason Tatum has a cacophony
of stinkas. There's all kinds of sounds that suck, right.
Jason Tatum eight points four of eleven shooting before Halliburton
(07:52):
got hurt. And then there was some stat padding. Indiana
called off the dogs, they called off the search, they
called off whatever you'll say it, and there was an
extended period of garbage time. And so Tatum ended up
with twenty three points, but he had eight points at
the time the game turned, time the game flipped. The
rest of his teammates were fine, but in this snapshot,
(08:15):
this little snapshot here, Jason Tatum has a first class
seat on the vomit comet on the He vanished in
the fourth quarter. Game one, went about ten minutes, I believe,
without without being anything offensively for the Celtics, and got
bailed out by his teammate Jalen Brown.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
And hmm, it.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Happened again in Dave to It's day Javo de Javo.
Jalen Brown for this Eastern Conference Final has gone from
supporting actor to leading man and Jason Tatum has transformed.
If you're talking about a menu at a high end restaurant,
(08:55):
he has gone from Kobe wagou beef to Salisbury steak
with side of lumpy mashed potatoes. The way he is
played and the Celtics the fan base that has the
green nose, the green nosers, those people. Oh, look at
the numbers, low, look at the final stats. Okay, look
at the context of when those stats came. This is
your supposed to You're Kobe Bryant, this is your this
(09:17):
is your Lebron James, this is your guy and bailed
out by Jalen Brown in game one and in game two.
All right, last word here, So let's go to the
wide angle lens, Wide angle lens. What do you make
of the overall Celtic playoff path in the Eastern Conference
with this latest edition involving Indiana. So this, yet again
(09:40):
is the yellow brick road. Down the yellow brick road
we go. This is a no sweat, no sweat situation.
And I'm not sure whether Joe Missoula did this or
someone else for the Celtics. I'd have to go back
and check. But somebody purchased a voodoo doll because the
Voodoo Bugaloo had cast a spell on you if you
(10:02):
play the Celtics. This has been biblically easy for Boston,
not that they couldn't have won if the other things
had not happened.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
We're time.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
When I say biblical, I'm talking like Moses parting the
Red Sea, or at least Eastern Conference. What about Persigius Persing? Okay,
presingis is the third player on the team. Let's go
down the big board. The Celtics have played the Miami
Heat without Jimmy Buckets, Jimmy Butler. They played the Calves
without Jared Allen, but also Donovan Mitchell missed a chunk
(10:37):
of that series. And now the smart money says Haliburton
isn't going to rub some dirt on it. Is not
going to rub some dirt on it. It is not
going to take pharmacy great ibuy profen and get back
on the court. That he's going to miss a game
or two or maybe the rest of the playoffs. That'd
be surprised if he's back after one day. And so
we'll see about that. But he's either way, he's not
(10:59):
going to be at full throttle when he takes the court.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
So the lesson here.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
The Celtics are two wins away from getting the NBA Finals,
and Lord have mercy on the Mavericks of the Wolves.
Whoever wins the West, because Luca and Kyrie or Aunt
Edwards and whoever your player x on Minnesota, they have
to face not only Boston but the Voodoo Bugeloo in
the NBA Finals.

Buying a showb and we are not exhausted. Now if
(13:21):
we were NBA players, we would probably have to take
a break and put our feet up. And it's kind
of hang out for a little bit, chill out. You know,
this job is not that easy. But the show must
go on. The show must go on, and wall I
would love to spend another hour waxing poetic about the
(13:43):
Eastern Conference Finals. I will not do that. I am
not going to bore you with that conversation.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
No, I am not.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Instead, we'll head west, well, well just to cross the Mississippi.
Actually where the Mississippi is. The Mississippi River goes through
the Twin Cities. On one side you got Saint Paul.
On the other side you got Minneapolis.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
That's where the.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Timberwolves play their games. And so little Western Conference conversation
where Luca don Chick and the Mavericks are eating juicy
Lucy's right now. They did take the wind out of
the sales of ant Man and the timber Puffs in
game one. Game two scheduled for to night in the
(14:25):
Twin Cities, a lot of noise about Anthony Edwards, and
we talked about this last hour. Rick Carlyle, coach of Indiana,
said that the Pacers were tired now.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
The night before that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Ant Man, twenty two years old, gassed and the opener
and said it.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
He said it, he said it now.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Surprisingly, when you consider many analysts have been trying to
compare Anthony Edwards to Michael Jordan, it might have happened.
I was a lot younger when Jordan was playing. I
don't remember Jordan Ever getting gassed.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Maybe he did.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Maybe that game at the Boston Garden a little tired
there when he put up that huge stat line.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Maybe that was a tired game. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I bring this up because someone named Chris Hines.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Do you know who that is?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
You don't. Did you see what he said?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
You didn't see what he said? Okay?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Uh so Chris Hines is the minister. He's with Minnesota.
He used a different athlete as a cop. He's a
Timberwols assistant coach.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Chris Heines says he sees elements of.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Mike Tyson Mike Tyson in the way that Anthony Edwards
plays the game because quote, it's hard to beat him.
It's hard to beat him when he senses fear from
an opponent. That's the the money quote money many. He said,
(16:03):
Oh yeah, they fed up, it's over. Heinz quote continues,
it doesn't matter who's in front of him, He's going
to figure out how to lock you the f up
and score on you every single time to annihilate your
whole team.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Close quote all right, So let's discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
A Timberwolve assistant coach comparing Anthony Edwards to Mike Tyson,
do you agree with that take?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
All? Right?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
So I've got fire hose, only fans and DeLorean and
we will combine all of these random things together and
we will spin the wheel. Is what we're going to
do is spin the wheel.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Number.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I love that every comparison between Aunt Edwards and other
athletes is from the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I love that. Ah, that is just great. That is
absolutely wonderful. But I'm gonna have to disagree on this one.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I'm gonna have to disagree on this take for multiple reasons.
The main reason is that Anthony Edwards has not to
this point had the secret sauce that Mike Tyson had.
If you're old enough to have seen Tyson back when
he fought, Mike, Tyson had something that every athlete wishes
they had and only a few get. He had the
(17:31):
fear factor. People were afraid to go into the ring
with Mike Tyson. No one's afraid to get on a
basketball court with Anthony Ayers. People feared Michael Jordan when
he was at the peak of his superpowers, that there
are no opponents that go against Minnesota's like, oh, we
got no chance. And when I remember Tyson in my memory.
(17:52):
Bank opponents occasionally would lose the fight before they even
got into the ring. They would crap their pants. It's
very hard to box when you've got brown streak down
your shorts. And he was a classic swarmer, Mike Tyson. Right,
Tyson came out and he overwhelmed his opponent, and he
(18:13):
would apply constant pressure and he didn't get tired, hitting
get tired. He won twenty six of his first twenty
eight fights by ko or t ko, and I think
it was like sixteen of them or something like that
came in the first nime.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Mike Tyson was a fire hose. That's what he was.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
He was a fire hose. And Anthony Edwards is not
he going against him. It's not a fires if it
is a fire hose, it's an ant man. It's like
a water flow regulator he's got. He's got one of
those water flow regulators that he has on the fire hose,
which I can't stay.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I hate that now again. I'm not.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Trashing and bearing Anthony Edwards the player. I just get
annoyed when I see him comped with Michael Jordan, with
Air Jordan and Iron Mike.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
It's a little much. That's a little much for me.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Eh, I'm like, eh, not too much, especially when Anthony
Edwards the last two games has taken forty shots and
has missed twenty eight of them in a Game seven
closeout game or Minnesota won anyway, and then a game
one at home in a conference final in the final
four thirty percent thirty percent and admitted he needed an
(19:32):
oxygen tank in the last game. All right, page two,
We now move to our obligatory Mallard monologue about the
boop too. Inside the NBA, facing its last supper, now
there is.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
One more year under the Turner contract.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
There is a desperate, i'm told, last minute negotiation between
the NBA and Turner to try to keep a slice
of the by as Amazon is getting involved in this
and so Turner's trying to come up with some extra
money to keep their share. But it's NBCESPN and for
now Amazon. Turner's trying to.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Hang on and it doesn't look good.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So Charles Barkley, commenting yet again, yet again, said that
he may just by himself reboot inside the NBA, that
if TNT gets rid of the show, they own the
rights to it. But if they lose the rights to
the NBA, Charles Barkley will slide on in. He floated
(20:35):
the idea, he said, with Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith,
the people on the show with him. So the question
is it realistic? Is it realistic for Charles Barkley to
reboot Inside the NBA by himself?
Speaker 4 (20:51):
And on this one, I am nodding my head. Yes.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
We are in the perfect era for this kind of thing,
one hundred percent. Now it would be easier to partner
up with a big media company to go to NBC,
or to go to ESPN and do the show there.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
But Barkley, the way we live now, Barkley.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Can become an OnlyFans model, he can become a blogger,
he can put it on the YouTube do it yourself.
We're in the era of do it your self content.
And Barkley's got the money. And while Time Warner or
Times more Worth, the Turner people they own the rights
to Inside the NBA, Charles Barkley, he you know, he's
(21:34):
not contractly obligated. These guys can get out of the
contract and so he can bring the show back under
a different name, and he owns his own production company,
and he'd have to partner with some very powerful people.
But people love Barkley. Barkley would have no problem finding partners.
Sir Charles, it's a no brainer. Do it yourself and
(21:54):
you can be unfiltered. No one will be monitoring. There'll
be no hall monitor to say you can why we
have to bleep that? None of that free reign unfiltered commentary.
My final point A quick quick look at the NBA
gossip mill, the latest daily chatter which I keep an
(22:17):
eye on the blotter. The gossip blotter says the Philadelphia
seventy six Ers long gone from the playoffs, but the
Sixers are considering a run at Clay Thompson, former Splash brother.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Now he's a brick artist and the deal is he.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Would have to sign for a short term contract in Philadelphia.
So the question would it make sense and would it
be a good fit for Klay Thompson with the Sixers.
So looking into my crystal ball. As a distant relative
of Nostra Damas and friend of Nostradinas who lives in Seattle,
I met him. We had a clairvoyant party when I
(22:59):
met him. So looking into the crystal ball only if
you have a DeLorean, if you own a DeLorean, because
you would have to punch the year twenty fifteen into
the dashboard on that DeLawrence.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
So you type in twenty.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Fifteen, and you got to make sure the vehicle's gassed
up and you can get to eighty eight miles per hour.
So you get to eighty eight miles per hour, it's
got to have enough power there and then you're good.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Boom back to the future.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Because that's Pete Klay Thompson, the Klay Thompson, the Sea Captain.
The last couple of years, his ship has been sinking
and what do we always say, do not let a
falling star fall on you. And Klay Thompson is the
very personification. He's the epitome of a falling star. He
is cooked until proven otherwise. If you don't believe me,
(23:48):
look at how he played for the Golden State Warriors
there the last couple of games, especially the last game
Mike Got No legs, brick Layer. If guys like Aunt
Edwards are are feeling it and they're totally frazzled and
zonked at age twenty two, Klay Thompson's got a lot
more miles on the odometer than that, do you understand?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Right, he's not supposed to get it right.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Heps to get it right all the time.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
What are you talking about? Ruin the game? You ruin
the game? All right? Go ahead, COOPERLA where.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
We have here?
Speaker 9 (24:28):
Well, Christian McCaffrey didn't show up to the start of
OTAs in San Francisco, and while Kyle Shanahan tiptoed around
the reason for CMC's absence, a source with knowledge of
the situation has said that his absence isn't due to
his contract.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Ben, are you buying that?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Uh No, because that's his job. Like what did you do?
You have to go golfing? Like what was he doing?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Like?
Speaker 4 (24:49):
What else is there to do? This is your job?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You're like a teacher. You're done. After the forty nine
ers played the Super Bowl mid February and they had
all you have a couple of months here to you know,
hang out, do nothing?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Like what else you got going on?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I mean, you're being paid a ton of money, so
I think there is something to the contract.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
He wants to have redone. Next.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
Bryce Young is apparently impressing his teammates this offseason, as
they recently heaped praise on the second year quarterback. Ben,
do you think Young will improve under a new Panthers
coaching staff.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well, he can't get any worse, or else he'll be
out of the NFL. But Dave Canalys is supposed to
be a quarterback whisperer because he had one good year
with Baker Mayfield. So yeah, he better get better. I
expect him to be better. He was so bad he
looked like he didn't even belong in the NFL.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
Next, it's being reported that Chris tops Porzingis could make
his return by Game four of the Eastern Conference Finals. Now, Ben,
let's assume the Celtics advance to the finals. How important
does Porzingis in a matchup against either Western Conference opponent.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Well, he's more important there. He's not going to play
in the Eastern Conference house. But yeah, they need him
in the finals, but he's not imperative that he plays.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
How do we do it? Cool?
