This is the best of the Ben Mahler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Avoiding the factory of sadness. Welcome in the beginning of
another night of the Benmallard Show.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
We are in the air everywhere, mixing and mingling as
we elevate your sporting experience, unless we don't.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Coast to coast, border to border.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And beyond on the mast and massively powerful microphones of
FSRE am monating live from the need we are drafting
to fill a need from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
I know mister irrigation is always trying to fill a need.
This portion of the Ben Maller Show made possible by

Tire Rack. For over forty years, ty Iraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive. Ship fast and freeback by free road
hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
Ferk Dog really likes that one a lot. Tire raq
dot com the way tire buying show be. So I
(01:40):
had this internal debate, and I was like, well, you know,
we can wax poetic and do a sermon about how
great the Clippers are and how they're gonna win the championship,
and it's.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
All over all. These other NBA teams are pretenders and frauds,
but not the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
But I chose to talk about the NFL draft and
the reason we're going to start with the NFL draft.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
It's pretty simple. We have spent.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Hours and hours and hours in the lead up to this,
so we might as well discuss it now. We're gonna
go to the frozen tundra, not so frozen in April
temperatures mild in Green Bay, temperatures in the fifties, the
NFL conducting their annual April shindig, And after months of
(02:23):
chatter and build up and speculation, the curtain went up
on the twenty twenty five NFL drafting and if you
saw it or not, it was the same as.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
It's always been, not as much juice. Where's the juice?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Not as much juice? So cam Ward went number one
to the Tennessee Titans. The big talking point happened for me.
It happened early on. Now someone say, well, what about
Shirdar Sanders not being drafted at all?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
How great is that?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
There were mock drafts that said this guy was gonna
be the number three pick.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
In the draft.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Some even had him higher than that number two, number two,
And he doesn't even get picked in the first round.
Shoul dur Sanders and they retired his number. Can they
take their number of retirement back over there at Colorado?
How embarrassing to not even be picked in the first round.
But that was not the story that got my attention.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
It was a.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Trade trade the Jacksonville football team. The Jaguars traded up
not one, not two, but three spots on the big boards.
We had no trades up until the start of the draft,
almost like the NFL said, don't make any trades until
draft day. And we had a few trades, teams trading
back in later on, teams trading out. Team I like
(03:45):
the Rams said screw this draft, we're out. We'll take
an extra pick next year.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
We're done.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
But cam Ward goes number one, but Jacksonville trading up
three and they selected the Heisman Trophy winner, also from Colorado.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Unlike shed ear Sanders, this guy was picked Travis Hunter.
So he went.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Number two in the draft, so he will go to Jacksonville.
Jacksonville gave up not one, not two, not three, but
four picks, including a second and fourth round selection in
this year's draft. I know you're concerned about that and
their twenty twenty six first round pick to land a
(04:27):
player that is the most intriguing that we have had
in modern NFL draft history. And the idea is that
they're setting the tone. This is a tone setting situation.
The Jaguars envisioning the players Travis Hunter as a primarily
primarily a receiver, a receiver and then he'll also play
(04:51):
occasionally defensive back.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
But they already.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Got their number one receiver supposedly in Brian Thomas Junior.
They got him last year. So they have Trevor Lawrence,
who's not very good. He's still still there. He's sucking
money out of the ownership because he's supposed to be good,
but he's not. And so that's where we are. So
let us discuss now. The better story is in the
losing locker room. The Browns lost a lot of games
(05:18):
to get the number two pick. They sucked all season
to get the number two pick, and then they traded
back a few.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Picks to get extra picks.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
So the question is will the Browns regret trading the
number two pick and the chance to draft Travis Hunter
or for that matter, Abdul Carter and just saying we're good.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
We don't want that.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So my thoughts on this, I have hooked on phonics,
triangle and golden arches, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make some delicious,
delicious apple pie is what we're gonna make, all right?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
So A on this one, the arrow is pointing down, down, down, down, down, down,
down down down, that which is yes, there will be regret.
Who goofed? I've got to know. It is a marketing fail.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It is a sawing enemis the Cleveland Browns, I recommend
they grab hooked on PHONEX because they read the room,
Read the room.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
If you're the Browns, the Browns are bad. They're also boring.
You can't be both.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And they are the most unlikable franchise going around, right,
is anyone more unlikable in the Cleveland Browns?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Seriously, you know they.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Put all their chips in that, you know, Deshaun Watson
creepy quarterback basket a few years ago, and it was like, Oh,
they're just numb to the Browns. They don't care about
the Browns. Those that did have passion for the Browns
just like, ah, we suck again.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
And not to.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Say that Travis Hunter is a Hall of Fame player,
who knows whether or not he's a Hall of Fame player,
but he does immediately add right away, right away, the
razzle dash and there's no razzle dazzle with the Browns.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Okay, that's brown Town. They sucked.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And if there was a reason to actually watch a
Browns game, it would have been Travis Hunter.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
The curiosity factor in overtime, overtime.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
If I was the Browns, I would have drafted Travis
Hunter and played him every fing snap. I would have
even played him on special teams. I would have played
him every single snap in the game. Everything defense offen
iron Man, make him the iron man, and the curiosity
factor is a big part of it. The versatility unprecedented
(07:47):
in this age of don't do any more than just
the bare minimum in every facet of life. And here's
a two way guy capable of playing both cornerback and
being a wide receiver, a modern marvel if he can
pull it off.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Very unique, very unique, and would.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Have had a ripple of excitement to a morbid Browns team.
So instead they traded back. They drafted a random defensive tackle,
Mason Graham from Michigan. Whoopee, damn do could turn out
to be a fine NFL player, but does lack the wow,
the wow factor, And no one's going out to buy
(08:32):
tickets or to turn on a game to watch Mason
Graham play.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
That's just not it. You're going to turn the tide
on that now. Page two.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So the Jags general manager said that the player Travis
Hunter can alter the sport.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
He can alter the sport. That is a bold quote,
that is a money quote. He can alter the sport.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
So is Jacksonville a good fit for Travis Hunter? So,
after several minutes of deliberation in the Mallard jury room,
despite the tremendous amount of smooching, smoochy, smoochy smoochy from
the GM, there don't love the fit.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
It's not ideal. It's not ideal.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And here's why you trade it up to get a
guy who you're planning if the earlier forces are accurate.
You're not planning on playing him both ways all the time.
Just select defensive packages, so you're gonna make him mostly
a wide receiver. And you already had last year. You
picked up your number one wide receiver, so you drafted.
(09:43):
You traded up to get a number two wide receiver
and a occasional defensive back. And the other factor here
which you cannot overlook is the triangle. I'm not talking
about the triangle offense here. I'm what I'm talking about
is you play for the Jaguars, Hello, and if you
(10:03):
go to Jacksonville, you are in the football Bermuda triangle.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You go there and all of a sudden, there is
a rogue wave.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Wipeout your career, some kind of magnetic anomaly they're talking
about right now over on coast to coast that will
take you down. If that doesn't take you down, there'll
be an alien abduction. And if you make it out
of that alien abduction, they'll drop you off in the
Lost City of Atlantis and you won't be able to
(10:37):
get out and jasually it's a starter job. Now they
hired a bunch of old RAM people, so I guess
I'm supposed to say all these are great people, but
they look like total dufases. James Gladstone looks like he
should be serving ice cream somewhere, and Liam Khane the
coach is but I think we've gone over do and
(11:00):
all that they do not exactly oose the confidence so
they know what they're doing. So not a ringing endorsement,
but good luck. I'm pulling for Travis Hunter. I hope
Travis Hunter does well and we inspire future players down
the line to attempt.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
To play both ways.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
So the last part of this, as we put the
bow on the package here from the big trade early
in the draft, as we have our all night in
depth team coverage of the twenty twenty five NFL drafting,
we'll mix.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
In some some other things.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So what statement, what statement did the Browns make by
dealing Travis Hunter?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
What was the statement they made?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
What statement did the Browns make by dealing Travis Hunter?
So they were playing, and this is something they know
a lot about special teams. They were punting. They were
punning on excitement. They were punning on aura. They didn't
want that. They didn't need that. They didn't know what
to do with that. So they didn't want the aura.
They didn't want the wow factor. Cleveland is going back
(12:03):
to the franchise charter. The Browns have decided, Hey, listen
at our core. We are the factory of sadness, and
we need to provide sadness, and so let's get back
to our roots. It's like the syndicated comic strip Tank McNamara,
Tanky mctank. Right, adding a couple more scratcher tickets. You're
(12:24):
selling hope, and the low information fan loves it. They
they had a chubby. They were so excited. Oh we
have extra draft picks. Oh isn't that great? It's so exciting.
It's false hope. Of course, the easiest thing to do
in the industrial complex of sport is to trade for
(12:45):
future draft picks.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
You can always sell the future.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Everyone assumes those draft picks are all going to turn
out to be wonderful players, even though the team never
drafts the right player, and the dumb fan, the dumb
fan all always buys it.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Right, Cleveland, I'm telling you right now, I know what
they're doing here.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
They have their eyes on the Golden Archers, not McDonald's
Arch Manning, the Texas quarterback Arch Manning, and he is
projected to be the top quarterback in the twenty twenty
sixth draft. That's assuming he actually leaves college and just
doesn't keep staying in Texas. There in Austin, but Arch
(13:25):
Manning is supposed to be his draft twenty twenty six
So you have two first round picks.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
You've got your own in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Jackson's gonna suck, so they'll end up with a top
ten pick again in Jacksonville, and then you've got your
own pick. And the Browns are tanking, so they're trying
to get the number one pick by themselves.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
But warning, warning, warning, warning, be careful.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
The Manning family, the Manning family, the Illuminati of football.
They are ruthless, the illuminati family of football, the Mannings.
And if you don't believe me, ask the old San
Diego Chargers. Yeahs that that Eli Manning a smooth operator.
He became the punk. But it was because of his
old man, his dad there back in the day. So
(14:10):
Arch Manning is the next in line in It's like
the Kennedy family in politics, you have the Manning family
in football.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
So we'll see how this all plays out.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Line them up and clip him down. Wel come, in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, socializing as our doors
never close.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
There's no locks on our doors coast to coast, border, the.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Border, and beyond on the vast and intergalactically powerful microphones
of FSA.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah, those radio waves just keep going and.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Going and going and going and going, emanating live from

buying show b As we begin anew this hour, hanging
(15:50):
out side by side, side by side.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Here, we're very exciting.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
So our lead this hour is change up. We'll get
back to the NFL Draft. I know I got a
full board, not that that dictates what we talk about.
We have a full board of people that I assume
want to talk about the NFL Draft. But our lead
this hour from the Pro bouncy ball playoffs. While the
NFL Draft was going on.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
And on and on and on.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
And on and on and on in sleepy Green Bay,
the basketball world was focused on playoffs.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Yeah. Now I was watching both.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I had the ability to multitask, Yeah, I multitesk, and
my right hand was getting a workout thanks to the
magic box there. I was going back and forth between
the NBA playoff games and the NFL Draft.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
And the great thing about the NFL draft, you know,
there's nothing actually happening. There's just a lot of smooching
and slobbering all over the players being picked. And if
you're depending what.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You watched or if you listened to the covers here
on Fox Sports Radio, there's a lot of chatter about
players that should be picked and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
So we want so you would not have do we
start out in.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
The hood in Inglewood, Kawhi Leonard, Kawhi Leonard and James
Harden teaming up poetry in motion. Kawhi did not crossover.
I had this thing with DraftKings. I was trying to
get him over twenty five. He did not get to
where I wanted him to get. But Kawhi Leonard had
twenty one points, eleven rebounds, and the Clippers.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I went back and I checked. It is official. I
can use this word.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
They vaporized Nikola jokicch Jeff and Denver's Nuggets by thirty
four points. If you win a playoff game by over
thirty points, that is a vaporized win.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Is what that is.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Clippers won one seventeen to eighty three, one seventeen to
eighty three.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
They have a two games to one lead.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
They're now two wins away from advancing to the second
round of the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Here, James Harden was great in the first half. Norman Powell,
Storman Norman.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Who was his stiff in Denver, played well. They h
had twenty points. Pile played well in the second half,
hert and played well in the first half. But the
better store is in the losing locker room. So that
is where we will begin, and we will discuss the
question who gets the blame, who gets the blame for
the Nicola Jokic Nuggets. So I've got Johnny Cash, concrete
(18:25):
and leafy greens, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make some rocky
mountain oysters, which are a more enjoyable experience than watching
the way the Nuggets played in that game last night.
So numb burn? Can I get a numb burn? This
(18:49):
was a team effort. The entire team sucked at a
time you cannot suck a team appropriate enough of jokers
the Clippers steam engine, the steamboat, clipper Ship cruising.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
They did trail early.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
In the game, and then once they went gangbusters and
they put the pedal to the metal, they ended up
leading by as many as thirty four points on their
way to the domination situation. Sloppy defense. Sloppy defense by Denver,
the Clippers' home court advantage that the people of Denver
loved to talk about, the altitude and how tough that is.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Into It Dome, the Into It Dome.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
The Clippers have never lost the playoff game at the
end to it Dome and as far as pointing the
finger of shame and blame and all that stuff. It's
a Johnny Cash tune, a classic, and I'm a big
Johnny Cash fan from Obviously he's not around anymore but
been gone for years, but I love his music. So
it's a Johnny Cash tune. Hey Porter, Hey Porter, would
(19:51):
you tell me the time because I don't think you
got there for the start of the game, Hey Porter.
And how much longer will it be till we cross
the MA and Dixon line, because you're going on vacation,
Hey Porter? That would be Michael Porter Junior. This guy
Jeff in Denver called up this Nuggets apologies.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Who's hurt? He's hurt.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Now, we have a rule if you're unable to play,
it's tough to criticize in a playoff environment if you
don't play. But if you play, and you play like
you are in the cockpit of the vomit comet, fair game,
fair game? Does anyone disagree? No one's raising their No
(20:32):
one disagrees. So Michael Porter Junior was not only a
basketball player.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
He was horrible.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
He shot two of nine from the floor, and it
seemed like it was worse than that and was just
dead weight when he was on the court, it was,
and he played thirty plus minutes. It was like the
Clippers were playing five on four. He was an albatross,
and as expected, Russell Westbrook returned to his alter ego
west Brick, who couldn't see that one coming. It was
(21:00):
beautiful watching the Clippers deep fry the Nuggets as the
Clipper fans, the greatest fans in basketball, mocked Nikola Jokic.
The Clipper super fans, the greatest fans section in all
the NBA. The wall there, the section that was closest
to the Denver bench. They wore hats that were horse hats, mocking,
(21:22):
mocking Nikola Jokic, who didn't seem to mind too much.
All right now, Page two to Memphis, where the Grizzlies
were styling and profile profiling.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Rick Flair was happy. This is a classic right styling
and profiling against OKC. This was the game to win.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Having a gentleman's sweep team that lost by fifty one
points built up. The Grizzlies had a twenty nine point lead,
twenty nine point lead, and then the thing happened. That
can't happen, and it happened, and it was snap crackle
pie Jah Morant was KOed Jah Morant got the knockout.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Blow a left hip injury.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
He took a hard foul underneath the basket. It happened
late in the first half. And then the unthinkable, the unimaginable,
the impossible took place, and it was Cheded Holger, who
looks like Skeletor, who scored. He kept hitting three points shots.
He had twenty three of his twenty four points in
the second half. The thunder making some noise there as
(22:31):
they end up body slamming the Grizzlies and they now
are up three games to none. So who is the
biggest villain? Who is the biggest villain for the Grizzlies
blowing a twenty nine point lead not the biggest blown
lead in history of basketball. The Golden State Warriors of
Stephan Curry actually hold that record. The people's team, the
(22:52):
Clippers came back and beat them, not five six years ago.
So many will say that it's all a Jahn Moran's injury.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
And that's why, you know, that's the villain.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
He got hurt, just Buzzard's luck, right, Buzzer's luck for Memphis. However,
I believe in accountability. I believe in accountability, and all
those Memphis guys. Last I checked our NBA players. Maybe
I'm wrong on that.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Maybe some of them are not NBA players.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
They're just they want to raffle and they were out
there in NBA uniforms.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
But they're all.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Supposedly NBA players. How about you play like it? How
about you act like it? How about he's not be
a gutless puke. The one that disappointed me the most
because I love the guy's name, Desmond Bain.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I'm a fan. I liked the name.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I didn't really like the game in the second half.
Desmond Main took ten shots in the second and half
with John Moran out, he only made two.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
He only made two. He was the de facto top player.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Scottie Pippen's kid was actually playing well for a while,
and he started missing shots. Memphis shot twenty five percent
in the second half from the floor and somehow fifteen
percent from three point range.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
So what will this performance?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Blowing a twenty nine point lead at home in a
playoff game, What does this mean?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Big picture? Big picture for Ja Moran. What does it mean?
So think of this like concrete. Think of this like concrete.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
It is cementing that Ja Morant is going to ask
for a trade out of Memphis.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
He's going to pack up his air gun.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
His bozuka, his fake bozuka, his fake hand grenades, and
all his other fake weaponry, his fake numbschucks, all of
those air weapons that he has there, the finger gun,
all that stuff, and say I'm done, I'm out. I
can't play with these stiffs, the flotsam and jetsum that
are on this team.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I gotta get out of here. So book it, dan Oh. Now. Meanwhile,
final point we go to Motown? Is where we go
the end of the road? Or is it the end
of the road.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
The Pistons got to win in New York, so they
were trying to go up to one in this series. However,
somebody gave smelling salts to Kitty Cat Carl Anthony Towns,
the man that vanished in the second half, was a
total loser in that last game, came back with vengeance.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Early on in the game.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
He scored eleven of his thirty one points in the
first quarter. Nicks came out set the mood. Gotta set
the move. Lit candlelight dinner there, set the mood. And
then Jalen Brunson had twelve of his thirty points in
the fourth to help the Knickerbockers squeeze past the Pistons
by a couple of points. And so New York now
up two games to one. They get home court advantage back.
(25:47):
So that means if they just went back in Midtown Manhattan,
they'll advance to the next round of the playoffs. Game
four is not until Sunday in Detroit, so they got
a couple of days off there. The New York win, though,
was not without controversy. You saw the end of the game.
Detroit coach JB. Bicker Staff was up in arms. He
(26:08):
was infuriated, he was outraged with the officiating a couple
of calls. Now the one that we really want to
focus in on, because I thought this was the worst
of the worst. Bigger Staff was bitter and broken because
of a sideline inbound pass the Knicks made to Jalen
Brunson on It was on the Piston's end of the floor.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
I'm going to try to describe this. If you're blind,
you know, just close.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Your imagine, open your imagination and try to play along here.
So bicker Staff upset sideline play on the Detroit side
of the court, inbound ball to Jalen Brunson. Five point
one seconds remaining. Knicks had a three point lead. Brunson
receives the out of bounds pass on the Piston side
(26:55):
of half court. He then takes his his first dribble
in the back court. Now, I'm from the old country
and that's called over and back. That's illegal. That's illegal
unless the team the NBA wants to win, does it,
and then it's not illegal.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Tenda.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, So a Bickerstaff was complaining. He said, if you
catch the ball, have possession and put it down to
me that possession.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Is in the front court, which, by the way, it is.
Do you think that the Pistons coach JB.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Bickerstaff has a compelling case against the NBA officials for
what happened?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
So I'm nodding my head. I'm nodding my head. Yes. Now,
now how do we know this? The reason I believe
it is a compelling.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Case is the explanation from the crew chief who commented
to a pool reporter who stated, this is from the
NBA crew chief. They said, Hey, go out there. The
media is upset, the fans are upset, they're making way online.
So go out there and calm everything down. So this
Drabbroni comes out and says Rule four, Section G six,
(28:07):
the front court back court status is not obtained until
a player with the ball. A player with the ball
has established a positive position in either half.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
In this instance, he said the crew chief during the
throw in the last.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Two minutes of the fourth period, in the last two
minutes of any overtime period. All right, so let me
use my malar rosetta stone. What does that mean? That
is leafy greens. That is leafy greens.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
That is a big bowl of word salad, word salad.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Mumbo to the jumbo, mumbo to the jumbo.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Not that it matters. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
So while I I am nodding my head yes to
the question of whether or not the Pistons have a
compelling case, I believe they do, I am also shaking
my head no. If you ask me, does it matter?
And it doesn't matter because here's what the NBA is
gonna say. They're gonna say, are bad, are bad?
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Sorry? Not sorry?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Psych no do overs all sales are final. All sales
are final. Ska ru you that's what.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
They're gonna say. Likely not in that language. They'll use
some different language, but it's gonna be scaru. You.

Speaker 2 (29:39):

Speaker 6 (29:42):
This is one big Ben gets grailled, goobloop.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
It was announced on Wednesday that Jalen Brunson beat out
Nikola Jokic and Steph Curry for the NBA Clutch Player
of the Year Award.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Ben, First of all, did you know this was an award?
Speaker 4 (29:57):
I have no. I've never heard of this.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Yeah, I mean me either. Apparently it's been around for
a few years. How big of an honor do you
think this award is?
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Why?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Considering I've never heard of it, it's I guess.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Ignorance is bliss. It's who cares? Yeah, Brunson, I do
consider him clutch, but I it's not. It's nothing. I
didn't even know it existed, so it means nothing to me.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Next, do a better job NBA. When asked about playing
in the Intuit Dome.
Speaker 7 (30:26):
Nuggets interim coach David Adaman accused the Clippers of pumping
in fake crowd noise. I've been wear you out on
fake crowd noise, gamesmanship or a cheap move.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Well, first of all, the Clippers don't need to pump
in fake crowd noise because they've got the greatest fans
in basketball.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
So that's bull trapping. And David Adaman's the NEPO coach.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
He had to worry about where his old man's gonna
get him his next job because he sucks in Denver.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
And by the way, Rashid Wallace pointed out, Faull don't lie.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
The Nuggets lost that game after he ripped the Clipper fans,
so therefore he's an a hole next.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Adam Scheffer reported this week that an opposing GM joke
that he avoids calls from Eagles GM Howie Roseman around
the draft, implying that other GMS are scared of Roseman.
Ben is Roseman the best execu in the league right now?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Howie Roseman is the medallion man. He's the best at marketing.
Nobody pumps their chest out better than Howie Roseman. Okay,
he loves himself more than anyone. I'm annoyed by him.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
How do we do? Coop?
Speaker 5 (31:23):

Speaker 1 (31:27):
