Speaker 1 (00:57):
On the mast and considerably powerful microphones of fsre AMA

the Bellman. I felt bad for Joy send me a
message over the weekend, says I believe in your clippers. Ben.
(01:17):
I'm betting a lot of money. I'm got a casino
in Iowa. I'm betting a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Wow, how'd that work out? Not so good? Not so good?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, Hey, this portion of the Ben Male Show made

ract dot Com. The way tire buying should be so
by request, by request, the customer is always right. We'll
go back to pro bouncy ball. I was not planning
on doing another pro bouncy ball monologue.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Last hour.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
We talked about the Cleveland Cadavers going bye bye as
Levlew was Game one to Indiana. Earlier we did a
full male Monologust Golden State rose up and really dominated,
didn't trail in the second half on the road against
a gutlass Houston team. There's a theme in Game seven's
here and so by request we go back to Saturday night,
(02:21):
all the way back to Saturday Game seven, Western Conference,
the Clippers trying not to choke on a chicken nugget,
and that was the setup. Oh much anticipated Game seven
back and forth and if you did not watch the game,
good news. You did not waste your time. You did
not waste Someday you'll be on your debtbed. And you said, boy,
(02:41):
I wish I hadn't sat around watched the Clippers and
the Nuggets in a game seven.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Holy crap. Aaron Gordon had twenty two points.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Christian Brown which should be pronounced Braun but it's pronounced
Brown had twenty one. The scrubs for the Nuggets had
big games and Denver led by as many as thirty
five points. How embarrassing, They vaporized the Clippers in a
game seven win or go home situation. The Clippers were
(03:09):
road kill and then some and then some. So that
means that Denver, who was the number fur the number
four seed. They have advanced now to take on the
number one, number one seed, a well rested Oklahoma City
thunder team and former Clipper shake Yogis Alexander I remember
(03:31):
they swept the Grizzlies even though John Morant had all
of his fake guns and hand grenades and Molotov cocktails,
all the fake weaponry, but that was not enough to
help Memphis out in that series. He got hurt anyway,
and it turns out, I guess that was a real injury.
He didn't have a fake injury, although he had a
like imaginary ankle brace on. Anyway, So listen, you don't
(03:54):
want to hear me talk about the Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You're not here for that. You don't want to hear that.
We know the better star.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Always in the losing locker room and o MG, So
let's discuss the question is this, where did things go
wrong for the Kawhi Leonard Clippers. Kawhi stayed healthy in
the postseason, he didn't get hurt, he didn't miss a game.
Where did things go wrong for the Kawhi Leonard Clippers.
(04:20):
So I've got whitewater, rafting, Coca Cola, butler, and sword,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make Dole Whip, which actually would
have put up more of a fight Dole Whip than
the Clippers. If if the NBA had just sent out
a couple of doll whips out on the court, that
would have presented more of a challenge for the Denver
(04:43):
Nuggets than the pathetic performance that took place on Saturday night.
My god, all right, So my first thought here to
answer the question where did things go wrong for the Clippers?
The moment the plane touched down in Colorado, it was da, okay,
it's over.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
What a manure? I mean, that doesn't do it just
I'd like the curse. I can't curse. I'm not allowed
to curse.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Now. You might remember when the Clippers and Nuggets played
during the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I did curse. I just let it rip.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I just got some really good bad words in there,
and it was wonderful.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
This was.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Unimaginable humiliation. And the thing about is these guys, I
don't think they care. That is the most damning thing.
You don't care. I'm convinced otherwise they wouldn't have played
like that. They just don't give a crap. How do
you show up? And and I'm not wired that way.
I do the overnight show here, and yet I treat
(05:43):
every show like it's actually it's actually important. And these
guys are in the NBA making a gazillion dollars and
they go out there and they urinate down their legs
in Game seven and they don't even seem to care.
At some point, why don't you off one of the
Nuggets send a message nothing they were a doormat. The
(06:05):
Nuggets walked all over them. It was ridiculous, and it
was a humilion for the Phaser. Again, I don't think
the players are humiliated. I don't think they care. They're
all rich, they're all well paid. They don't give a crap.
No pride. There is not a single player that has pride,
not one of them. And the Clippers actually came out
they had an early six point lead in the game,
and then I don't know if there was a sign
(06:26):
like like the bat sign or something that was.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Up in the arena. I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Maybe Rocky the mascot put something in their in their drink.
But the Clippers and I went back and I did
the math Ons. They literally they went whitewater rafting on
the Lazy River. Okay, they were on a raft and
they did it was supposed to be whitewater rafting, and
it was the Lazy River. The Clippers, I still can't believe.
I saw they were outscored by forty one points.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
They went from.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Up six in the first quarter to down thirty five
points in a Game seven, in a winner you advanced
Game seven. Now I covered some terrible Clipper teams. When
I first got into radio, a lot of you know
my story. I started out of station in San Diego.
(07:14):
I worked my early gigs in radio were going to
locker rooms and interviewing players.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And since I was the new guy, I got asigned
a lot of.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Clipper games, a lot of Clipper games, and they played
at the La Sports Arena, which is called the Mausoleum
because I think there were more people that were dead
there than that were alive. They don't even that arena
doesn't even exist anymore. There's a soccer stadium there now.
But I spent a lot of my years in my
twenties at that arena, and I covered some morbid Clipper teams,
(07:42):
horrifically bad teams, teams that had no talent and they
were just an absolute I can't say, you can imagine
the words I'd like to say. But during that time,
one of the coaches the Clippers had was this guy
named Bill Fitch. Bill Fitch was a Hall of Fame
coach and at the end of his career he had
coached like this Celtics and the Rockets when they had
Elijah Won and Samson, and so he'd coached some really
(08:05):
good teams, but by the time he got to the Clippers,
he was just hanging on getting a check. You know.
He coached like that New Jersey Nets and the Clippers.
At the end of his career. He was very nice
to me. But he one of the things he said
to me at the time, he says, and obviously we're
not very good, but he said, as long as you
put the effort out, you should never get blown out.
And the only reason you're gonna get blown out is
(08:27):
if you're not putting the effort in. He gave me
this whole rap about how there's not that big a
difference between the very top team and the NBA and
the very worst team. And this is a long time ago.
He is explaining the whole thing, and it made a
lot of sense. And I think it's the same concept applies.
That team gave up. The LA Clippers gave up. They
were outscored one oh three to sixty two in that stretch.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Ring the bell. Shame, shame, shame on all of you. Shame, shame, shame, shame.
That is a dereliction of duties.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It is shamee that is malfeasis, that is bungling basketball.
Is what that is, at no point did you ever think, well,
this is not going well, maybe we should change things
up here, try to send a message, right, something like
for some reason I thought, well, they might lose, but
they're not gonna get out work. They're not gonna get embarrassed. Right,
They're gonna go out there. You want that mindset, right,
(09:22):
you want that perseverance, that dog of war, mentality, play
with desperation, scratching, called all those cliches and sports. They
went out there like a toy poodle with fleas is
how they played in that game. And again, at no
point did they were like, say, wait a minute. The
moment I knew that they were toast, that sucked. So
(09:44):
and so James Harden, all right, Harden's out there now,
he was not at the foul line. He was on
He was trying to get a rebound. Russell Westbrook was
at the foul line, and Westbrook bricks a foul shot,
which he often does, right, and Harden, and I forget
who the other clipper was. I just jotted down Harden's name.
(10:04):
They stood there as what Russell Westbrook misses the shot,
zooms past.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Them and gets a layup. In a game seven I
don't need a box.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Ou la la la la la la la la la
la la la la.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And it's one of those things.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
This is a lesson that is learned in youth sports
that you're not necessarily going to be the most talented.
And it's really true in anything in life, right, whether
you're doing a radio show, or you're a truck driver,
you're work in a factory, whatever, maybe you're not the
most talented person. But if you put the effort in,
if you hustle on every opportunity that does not require
(10:46):
athletic ability. And I actually put the Usually I only
mute Doris Burke because I can't stand her, but I
actually muted the broadcast on Saturday because they were like
making excuses saying the Clippers were tired.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I mean seriously, I will said the effort. What are
you doing? Like Sarah's what are you doing? That's Game seven?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I mean god, all right, now, let's focus in on
the person that is the biggest villain in all this.
What does this latest stinker do for the legacy of
James Harden? What does it due? So as you know,
I tried to give James Harden the benefit of the
doubt I attempted to be Benny Bright's side on these airwaves,
(11:28):
and I did the math, and the math was correct
that about ten percent of the time James Harden goes
out there and just pukes all over the court in
a playoff game, about ten percent. So I gave him
the bene of the doubt. And watching him yet again,
I'm reminded about how Kobe Bryant had the mamba mentality, right,
mamba mentality, And then you see James Harden and it's
(11:50):
like he's got that hippo energy. You know, hippo's sleep
sixteen to twenty hours a day. They just kind of
lay around. They go from land to water, but they're
pretty much just relaxing. They're just kind of a lot
of l So James Harden has that hippo energy. He's
just kind of laying around, you know whatever. And if
he was a flower now, he would not be the
pussy willow. He would be the shrinking violet. Okay, the
(12:12):
shrinking violet. He wilts under pressure. Now, there's a term
that doesn't get used a lot in basketball, but I
think would apply to James Harden as well. It's more
of a soccer term. I guess you could say Harden
is the Coca Cola butler if you will here, because
he's a big game boler. That's I was told by
a listener over the weekend as a soccer term. He
might have been pulling my chain. I did look it up.
I did see that it is a legitimate term. The
(12:34):
butler is a player who consistently underperforms in big moments,
which is James Harden. But in terms of the big picture,
it's just another chapter in his book. It's just another
chapter passive play in big moments. He infected his teammates
and you know, complete idiot's guide to blowing playoff games
(12:55):
with James Harden.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
The Clippers lost to Denver in Game seven.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That now means that he has brought this poison to
four different teams, with the Roquettes twice, Game seven Losers,
twenty seven, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, the Brooklyn Nets twenty
twenty one, the Philadelphia seventy six ers and twenty twenty three,
and the Clippers. Harden his last thirteen elimination games is
(13:24):
two and eleven, two and eleven man and that Game
seven performance was a special addition. Smoldering pile of turds
for the world to watch there. And since twenty twenty,
Harden has averaged in these big spots less than fourteen
points per game and shooting less than thirty percent, less
(13:49):
than thirty percent, three point shooting less than seventeen percent,
and he's played over forty minutes, almost forty two minutes
a game in that stretch and to shoot low thirty
percent in each of those games since twenty twenty. These
are elimination situation games. Game sevens. It's it's wild, the consistency.
(14:11):
There's a design flaw. There's obviously a design flaw there.
And the way I would describe James hard I think
I got the perfect analogy. If you're old enough to remember,
remember the Samsung Galaxy Note seven phone. You remember that phone?
You don't remember that phone. So the phone there was
a flaw in the battery and it would lead to
(14:32):
overheating and explosions, like the phones were blowing up and
people were being maimed by the phones blowing up. So
that is hardened in big games. He is the Samsung
Galaxy Note seven with the faulty battery that will just
burn up. It's crazy, all right, now, final thought. So
(14:53):
the Clippers dared Russell Westbrook to beat them, and not
that he necessarily individually beat them, but he didn't make
more shots than he's ever made in his career. And
as he was walking off the court, Westbrook, as he
is known to do, was talking and he was yelling,
and he said that the Clippers picked the wrong person,
(15:15):
didn't they? As he walked around like a rooster with
his chest up in the air everywhere. So question for
the steam panel here, do you agree or disagree with
Russell Westbrook that the Clippers picked the wrong person. They
traded him to Utah for.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Chris Dunn, who is done.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Holy crap, all right, So this is a sword situation,
A double edged sword situation is what it is. Because
on one hand, trading Russell Westbrook was the absolute wise move.
For those that have forgotten, he was really bad. He
was James Harden level bad in playoff games for the Clippers.
And just because you happened to go to Denver and
(16:01):
you made a couple of shots does not change the
fact that you were a tumor for the Clippers. Okay,
that doesn't change that. So I mentioned this is the
double edged sword because on one hand, the Clippers. They
had to get rid of Westbrook. It grew stale. It
was time to move on. That was smart. The problem
is getting Chris Donne. Chris Dunn should be a not
(16:23):
a basketball player. He should be a freemason is what
he should be, because there's a lot of brickwork. He's atrocious,
he's got no offensive game. And it also shows us,
though on a deeper level, that Russell Westbrook wishes he
was still a Clipper. Serious, although why would you be
able to set You should be happy you're no longer
a Clipper right Instead, he's oh man, they got rid
(16:45):
of the wrong guy. They should have kept me. Tells
you he doesn't want to be in Denver. He's not
happy with the Nuggets, and it's payback against the Clippers
because he wishes he was a Clipper. Now after this
latest playoff laws, have he lost all faith in the clip?
Is it all over now?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
The Clippers doomed? They're never going to win? Oh my god, let's.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Not make this some kind of Greek tragedy. Okay, I
didn't expect them to win this year. They didn't, Okay,
so fine. I didn't expect them to just give up
in Game seven. That part is disheartening, but I'm still
drinking the kool aid. And here's why. All right, towards
Steve Balmer. All right, Steve Balmer, this guy is maniacal.
(17:26):
He's maniacal. He will beg, borrow, and steal to get
a winner. And now, fortunately you don't have to steal
when you're the richest guy in the world, or one
of them. He's worth one hundred and twenty five billion dollars.
A lot of these rich guys that got the mega yachts,
they've got the private jets, and he probably has all
those things. But for Steve Balmer, his passion is this
basketball team that is his pride. Enjoy the Clippers, and
(17:48):
he's going to keep changing the formula until they get
the right formula. And I'd immediately get rid of James Harden.
I would rather play four on five than have James
Harden on my team because you know what's going to happen,
and he doesn't even really seem to care. So okay,
go play somewhere else and you'll get your twenty points
of games during the regular season, and then when the
(18:10):
team needs you the most, you'll poop your diaper and
that'll be that. But as long as Steve Bamber's in charge,
the Clippers are always going to be in it to
win it. And so they got the greatest arena they've
got that. I mean, guy Bomber flew in a private
plane filled with Clipper fans so they could go out
and watch their team urinate down their leg in Game seven.
(18:30):
He's the people that sit in the wall will fly in.
Why not. But they'll just keep tweaking it and changing
things around, and eventually they'll they'll get it right.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
To the third degree. This is one great and.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Making a rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate appearance here
in the producer's chair, we say hello our friend Breed.
Hi Ben, Hello, Okay.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Our report came out late last week that Lebron James
suffered an m CEL sprain in his left knee and
the Lakers Game five loss against the turb Wolves. Ben,
do you think this is actually a new injury or
something fabricated as another excuse for an embarrassing first round
actual So.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Here's the deal, Brie. We've been around this long enough.
It's paint by numbers, right, Lebron his team underachieves, he
does not live up to expectations.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That's the first part.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
The second part is the people around Lebron cook up
some kind of bull crap excuse, whether it's the coach's
fault or a teammate's fault, or Lebron's got an injury,
it's absolute crap. Ola.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I don't want to hear about it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
You're never going to get anywhere near Michael Jordan's level,
so just stop next.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
On a recent podcast NFL Legend, Warren Moon says Shardor
Sanders needs to act like a quarterback and be more respectful. Quote,
you can't act like a quarterback when you're playing quarterback.
Quarterback is a humble position. You got to be respectful.
That's what he has to understand. Unquote Ben, do you
think he has a point?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
No, Because you can be a schmuck and an egomaniac,
you got to be good. The problem, Warren Moon, what
he's really saying there is should Sanders is not good?
Like if you if you're going to be a marginal talent,
you have to be respectful and all that stuff, and
should Sanders is not is not that there are quarterbacks
who are complete schmucks, but they're really really good, So
(20:17):
it doesn't really matter. You don't have to be humble.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
You don't have to be humble if you're good.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
He's not good. That's the problem.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Right next, but the news of a head coach Greg
Popovich retiring from coaching, this first hired assistant coach Mitch
Johnson as their new head coach. Do you think this
is the right movement instead of someone with a little
bit more experience.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I don't even know who. I don't even know who
that is.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I don't know who Mitch Johnson is. I have no
idea experience. I've never even heard of Mitch Johnson. All right,
so what am I supposed to say about miss john Less?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
One thing? I don't look at the Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
They got dork NEPO coach and they beat the Clippers
in the first nine.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
These teams. It's like a self driving car. It's like
a Tesla that drives itself. These NBA teams, right, and
they is everything. They take care of it. It doesn't matter. Wemby,
if he's good and off, he'll make this guy a
Hall of fame coach.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
There it is. How did we do a.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Loreno?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Good job? Are you sure. I don't sense the sincerity
in that. I don't let you.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Oh man, all right, so the wise guys, but let's
se who's gonna win this Battle Royale. Here we go
the Battle Royale, the battle rights the podcast around like
you know.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Everything, computers are for losers, normal people.

What do you?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Let's find out? Are you smarter than an FSR Tech Queens?
So that's again.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Now normally we have a listener play Lorena, but we
have Bree who's in here producing the show, and there's
a bit of a rivalry between you two. I think
in the.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Building, Why I do Thn't Coop ever want to play?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
That's hard to get Coop could pay attention, you know,
sometimes it's just hard to get a pitches. So anyway,
I am worried though there this could be massive cheating
because I I don't you both have your phones, so
I know you forget your hands in the air.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
But the woman over there has been known.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
To are you serious?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Want to play me?
Speaker 3 (22:10):

I'll be good. Coop had to take the phone. I'll
be good.

by request, by request, the customer is always right. We'll
go back to pro bouncy ball. I was not planning
on doing another pro bouncy ball monologue.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Last hour.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
We talked about the Cleveland Cadavers going bye bye as
Levlew was Game one to Indiana. Earlier we did a
full male Monologust Golden State rose up and really dominated,
didn't trail in the second half on the road against
a gutlass Houston team. There's a theme in Game seven's
here and so by request we go back to Saturday night,
(02:21):
all the way back to Saturday Game seven, Western Conference,
the Clippers trying not to choke on a chicken nugget,
and that was the setup. Oh much anticipated Game seven
back and forth and if you did not watch the game,
good news. You did not waste your time. You did
not waste Someday you'll be on your debtbed. And you said, boy,
(02:41):
I wish I hadn't sat around watched the Clippers and
the Nuggets in a game seven.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Holy crap. Aaron Gordon had twenty two points.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Christian Brown which should be pronounced Braun but it's pronounced
Brown had twenty one. The scrubs for the Nuggets had
big games and Denver led by as many as thirty
five points. How embarrassing, They vaporized the Clippers in a
game seven win or go home situation. The Clippers were
(03:09):
road kill and then some and then some. So that
means that Denver, who was the number fur the number
four seed. They have advanced now to take on the
number one, number one seed, a well rested Oklahoma City
thunder team and former Clipper shake Yogis Alexander I remember
(03:31):
they swept the Grizzlies even though John Morant had all
of his fake guns and hand grenades and Molotov cocktails,
all the fake weaponry, but that was not enough to
help Memphis out in that series. He got hurt anyway,
and it turns out, I guess that was a real injury.
He didn't have a fake injury, although he had a
like imaginary ankle brace on. Anyway, So listen, you don't
(03:54):
want to hear me talk about the Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You're not here for that. You don't want to hear that.
We know the better star.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Always in the losing locker room and o MG, So
let's discuss the question is this, where did things go
wrong for the Kawhi Leonard Clippers. Kawhi stayed healthy in
the postseason, he didn't get hurt, he didn't miss a game.
Where did things go wrong for the Kawhi Leonard Clippers.
(04:20):
So I've got whitewater, rafting, Coca Cola, butler, and sword,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make Dole Whip, which actually would
have put up more of a fight Dole Whip than
the Clippers. If if the NBA had just sent out
a couple of doll whips out on the court, that
would have presented more of a challenge for the Denver
(04:43):
Nuggets than the pathetic performance that took place on Saturday night.
My god, all right, So my first thought here to
answer the question where did things go wrong for the Clippers?
The moment the plane touched down in Colorado, it was da, okay,
it's over.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
What a manure? I mean, that doesn't do it just
I'd like the curse. I can't curse. I'm not allowed
to curse.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Now. You might remember when the Clippers and Nuggets played
during the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I did curse. I just let it rip.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I just got some really good bad words in there,
and it was wonderful.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
This was.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Unimaginable humiliation. And the thing about is these guys, I
don't think they care. That is the most damning thing.
You don't care. I'm convinced otherwise they wouldn't have played
like that. They just don't give a crap. How do
you show up? And and I'm not wired that way.
I do the overnight show here, and yet I treat
(05:43):
every show like it's actually it's actually important. And these
guys are in the NBA making a gazillion dollars and
they go out there and they urinate down their legs
in Game seven and they don't even seem to care.
At some point, why don't you off one of the
Nuggets send a message nothing they were a doormat. The
(06:05):
Nuggets walked all over them. It was ridiculous, and it
was a humilion for the Phaser. Again, I don't think
the players are humiliated. I don't think they care. They're
all rich, they're all well paid. They don't give a crap.
No pride. There is not a single player that has pride,
not one of them. And the Clippers actually came out
they had an early six point lead in the game,
and then I don't know if there was a sign
(06:26):
like like the bat sign or something that was.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Up in the arena. I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Maybe Rocky the mascot put something in their in their drink.
But the Clippers and I went back and I did
the math Ons. They literally they went whitewater rafting on
the Lazy River. Okay, they were on a raft and
they did it was supposed to be whitewater rafting, and
it was the Lazy River. The Clippers, I still can't believe.
I saw they were outscored by forty one points.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
They went from.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Up six in the first quarter to down thirty five
points in a Game seven, in a winner you advanced
Game seven. Now I covered some terrible Clipper teams. When
I first got into radio, a lot of you know
my story. I started out of station in San Diego.
(07:14):
I worked my early gigs in radio were going to
locker rooms and interviewing players.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
And since I was the new guy, I got asigned
a lot of.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Clipper games, a lot of Clipper games, and they played
at the La Sports Arena, which is called the Mausoleum
because I think there were more people that were dead
there than that were alive. They don't even that arena
doesn't even exist anymore. There's a soccer stadium there now.
But I spent a lot of my years in my
twenties at that arena, and I covered some morbid Clipper teams,
(07:42):
horrifically bad teams, teams that had no talent and they
were just an absolute I can't say, you can imagine
the words I'd like to say. But during that time,
one of the coaches the Clippers had was this guy
named Bill Fitch. Bill Fitch was a Hall of Fame
coach and at the end of his career he had
coached like this Celtics and the Rockets when they had
Elijah Won and Samson, and so he'd coached some really
(08:05):
good teams, but by the time he got to the Clippers,
he was just hanging on getting a check. You know.
He coached like that New Jersey Nets and the Clippers.
At the end of his career. He was very nice
to me. But he one of the things he said
to me at the time, he says, and obviously we're
not very good, but he said, as long as you
put the effort out, you should never get blown out.
And the only reason you're gonna get blown out is
(08:27):
if you're not putting the effort in. He gave me
this whole rap about how there's not that big a
difference between the very top team and the NBA and
the very worst team. And this is a long time ago.
He is explaining the whole thing, and it made a
lot of sense. And I think it's the same concept applies.
That team gave up. The LA Clippers gave up. They
were outscored one oh three to sixty two in that stretch.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Ring the bell. Shame, shame, shame on all of you. Shame, shame, shame, shame.
That is a dereliction of duties.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It is shamee that is malfeasis, that is bungling basketball.
Is what that is, at no point did you ever think, well,
this is not going well, maybe we should change things
up here, try to send a message, right, something like
for some reason I thought, well, they might lose, but
they're not gonna get out work. They're not gonna get embarrassed. Right,
They're gonna go out there. You want that mindset, right,
(09:22):
you want that perseverance, that dog of war, mentality, play
with desperation, scratching, called all those cliches and sports. They
went out there like a toy poodle with fleas is
how they played in that game. And again, at no
point did they were like, say, wait a minute. The
moment I knew that they were toast, that sucked. So
(09:44):
and so James Harden, all right, Harden's out there now,
he was not at the foul line. He was on
He was trying to get a rebound. Russell Westbrook was
at the foul line, and Westbrook bricks a foul shot,
which he often does, right, and Harden, and I forget
who the other clipper was. I just jotted down Harden's name.
(10:04):
They stood there as what Russell Westbrook misses the shot,
zooms past.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Them and gets a layup. In a game seven I
don't need a box.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Ou la la la la la la la la la
la la la la.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And it's one of those things.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
This is a lesson that is learned in youth sports
that you're not necessarily going to be the most talented.
And it's really true in anything in life, right, whether
you're doing a radio show, or you're a truck driver,
you're work in a factory, whatever, maybe you're not the
most talented person. But if you put the effort in,
if you hustle on every opportunity that does not require
(10:46):
athletic ability. And I actually put the Usually I only
mute Doris Burke because I can't stand her, but I
actually muted the broadcast on Saturday because they were like
making excuses saying the Clippers were tired.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I mean seriously, I will said the effort. What are
you doing? Like Sarah's what are you doing? That's Game seven?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I mean god, all right, now, let's focus in on
the person that is the biggest villain in all this.
What does this latest stinker do for the legacy of
James Harden? What does it due? So as you know,
I tried to give James Harden the benefit of the
doubt I attempted to be Benny Bright's side on these airwaves,
(11:28):
and I did the math, and the math was correct
that about ten percent of the time James Harden goes
out there and just pukes all over the court in
a playoff game, about ten percent. So I gave him
the bene of the doubt. And watching him yet again,
I'm reminded about how Kobe Bryant had the mamba mentality, right,
mamba mentality, And then you see James Harden and it's
(11:50):
like he's got that hippo energy. You know, hippo's sleep
sixteen to twenty hours a day. They just kind of
lay around. They go from land to water, but they're
pretty much just relaxing. They're just kind of a lot
of l So James Harden has that hippo energy. He's
just kind of laying around, you know whatever. And if
he was a flower now, he would not be the
pussy willow. He would be the shrinking violet. Okay, the
(12:12):
shrinking violet. He wilts under pressure. Now, there's a term
that doesn't get used a lot in basketball, but I
think would apply to James Harden as well. It's more
of a soccer term. I guess you could say Harden
is the Coca Cola butler if you will here, because
he's a big game boler. That's I was told by
a listener over the weekend as a soccer term. He
might have been pulling my chain. I did look it up.
I did see that it is a legitimate term. The
(12:34):
butler is a player who consistently underperforms in big moments,
which is James Harden. But in terms of the big picture,
it's just another chapter in his book. It's just another
chapter passive play in big moments. He infected his teammates
and you know, complete idiot's guide to blowing playoff games
(12:55):
with James Harden.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
The Clippers lost to Denver in Game seven.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
That now means that he has brought this poison to
four different teams, with the Roquettes twice, Game seven Losers,
twenty seven, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, the Brooklyn Nets twenty
twenty one, the Philadelphia seventy six ers and twenty twenty three,
and the Clippers. Harden his last thirteen elimination games is
(13:24):
two and eleven, two and eleven man and that Game
seven performance was a special addition. Smoldering pile of turds
for the world to watch there. And since twenty twenty,
Harden has averaged in these big spots less than fourteen
points per game and shooting less than thirty percent, less
(13:49):
than thirty percent, three point shooting less than seventeen percent,
and he's played over forty minutes, almost forty two minutes
a game in that stretch and to shoot low thirty
percent in each of those games since twenty twenty. These
are elimination situation games. Game sevens. It's it's wild, the consistency.
(14:11):
There's a design flaw. There's obviously a design flaw there.
And the way I would describe James hard I think
I got the perfect analogy. If you're old enough to remember,
remember the Samsung Galaxy Note seven phone. You remember that phone?
You don't remember that phone. So the phone there was
a flaw in the battery and it would lead to
(14:32):
overheating and explosions, like the phones were blowing up and
people were being maimed by the phones blowing up. So
that is hardened in big games. He is the Samsung
Galaxy Note seven with the faulty battery that will just
burn up. It's crazy, all right, now, final thought. So
(14:53):
the Clippers dared Russell Westbrook to beat them, and not
that he necessarily individually beat them, but he didn't make
more shots than he's ever made in his career. And
as he was walking off the court, Westbrook, as he
is known to do, was talking and he was yelling,
and he said that the Clippers picked the wrong person,
(15:15):
didn't they? As he walked around like a rooster with
his chest up in the air everywhere. So question for
the steam panel here, do you agree or disagree with
Russell Westbrook that the Clippers picked the wrong person. They
traded him to Utah for.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Chris Dunn, who is done.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Holy crap, all right, So this is a sword situation,
A double edged sword situation is what it is. Because
on one hand, trading Russell Westbrook was the absolute wise move.
For those that have forgotten, he was really bad. He
was James Harden level bad in playoff games for the Clippers.
And just because you happened to go to Denver and
(16:01):
you made a couple of shots does not change the
fact that you were a tumor for the Clippers. Okay,
that doesn't change that. So I mentioned this is the
double edged sword because on one hand, the Clippers. They
had to get rid of Westbrook. It grew stale. It
was time to move on. That was smart. The problem
is getting Chris Donne. Chris Dunn should be a not
(16:23):
a basketball player. He should be a freemason is what
he should be, because there's a lot of brickwork. He's atrocious,
he's got no offensive game. And it also shows us,
though on a deeper level, that Russell Westbrook wishes he
was still a Clipper. Serious, although why would you be
able to set You should be happy you're no longer
a Clipper right Instead, he's oh man, they got rid
(16:45):
of the wrong guy. They should have kept me. Tells
you he doesn't want to be in Denver. He's not
happy with the Nuggets, and it's payback against the Clippers
because he wishes he was a Clipper. Now after this
latest playoff laws, have he lost all faith in the clip?
Is it all over now?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
The Clippers doomed? They're never going to win? Oh my god, let's.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Not make this some kind of Greek tragedy. Okay, I
didn't expect them to win this year. They didn't, Okay,
so fine. I didn't expect them to just give up
in Game seven. That part is disheartening, but I'm still
drinking the kool aid. And here's why. All right, towards
Steve Balmer. All right, Steve Balmer, this guy is maniacal.
(17:26):
He's maniacal. He will beg, borrow, and steal to get
a winner. And now, fortunately you don't have to steal
when you're the richest guy in the world, or one
of them. He's worth one hundred and twenty five billion dollars.
A lot of these rich guys that got the mega yachts,
they've got the private jets, and he probably has all
those things. But for Steve Balmer, his passion is this
basketball team that is his pride. Enjoy the Clippers, and
(17:48):
he's going to keep changing the formula until they get
the right formula. And I'd immediately get rid of James Harden.
I would rather play four on five than have James
Harden on my team because you know what's going to happen,
and he doesn't even really seem to care. So okay,
go play somewhere else and you'll get your twenty points
of games during the regular season, and then when the
(18:10):
team needs you the most, you'll poop your diaper and
that'll be that. But as long as Steve Bamber's in charge,
the Clippers are always going to be in it to
win it. And so they got the greatest arena they've
got that. I mean, guy Bomber flew in a private
plane filled with Clipper fans so they could go out
and watch their team urinate down their leg in Game seven.
(18:30):
He's the people that sit in the wall will fly in.
Why not. But they'll just keep tweaking it and changing
things around, and eventually they'll they'll get it right.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
To the third degree. This is one great and.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Making a rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate appearance here
in the producer's chair, we say hello our friend Breed.
Hi Ben, Hello, Okay.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Our report came out late last week that Lebron James
suffered an m CEL sprain in his left knee and
the Lakers Game five loss against the turb Wolves. Ben,
do you think this is actually a new injury or
something fabricated as another excuse for an embarrassing first round
actual So.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Here's the deal, Brie. We've been around this long enough.
It's paint by numbers, right, Lebron his team underachieves, he
does not live up to expectations.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That's the first part.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
The second part is the people around Lebron cook up
some kind of bull crap excuse, whether it's the coach's
fault or a teammate's fault, or Lebron's got an injury,
it's absolute crap. Ola.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I don't want to hear about it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
You're never going to get anywhere near Michael Jordan's level,
so just stop next.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
On a recent podcast NFL Legend, Warren Moon says Shardor
Sanders needs to act like a quarterback and be more respectful. Quote,
you can't act like a quarterback when you're playing quarterback.
Quarterback is a humble position. You got to be respectful.
That's what he has to understand. Unquote Ben, do you
think he has a point?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
No, Because you can be a schmuck and an egomaniac,
you got to be good. The problem, Warren Moon, what
he's really saying there is should Sanders is not good?
Like if you if you're going to be a marginal talent,
you have to be respectful and all that stuff, and
should Sanders is not is not that there are quarterbacks
who are complete schmucks, but they're really really good, So
(20:17):
it doesn't really matter. You don't have to be humble.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
You don't have to be humble if you're good.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
He's not good. That's the problem.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Right next, but the news of a head coach Greg
Popovich retiring from coaching, this first hired assistant coach Mitch
Johnson as their new head coach. Do you think this
is the right movement instead of someone with a little
bit more experience.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I don't even know who. I don't even know who
that is.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I don't know who Mitch Johnson is. I have no
idea experience. I've never even heard of Mitch Johnson. All right,
so what am I supposed to say about miss john Less?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
One thing? I don't look at the Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
They got dork NEPO coach and they beat the Clippers
in the first nine.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
