Here we go. Welcome to our number one of the
original Recipe podcast. We recorded this overnight, so you are
empowered to listen on demand. Don't tell the people that
listen to the live show limited commercial eruption on the pod. Yep,
you have an advantage, but you don't get to hear
the live show. But here's what happened. You also get
(00:22):
to hear the bad words, which we don't edit out.
So here in our number one, it's all about pro
bouncy ball. The Dallas Mavericks put a can of whoop
ass on the people's team. How do James Hard and
Paul George and the Clippers lose at home playoff game?
Lose a hope play off game by thirty points? How
does that happen? We'll discuss that. Also, where does this
(00:45):
performance leave the Clippers as they are trailing in the
best of seven series three games to two. And do
the Mavericks have this series now in the bag? We'll
take a look at the Dallas side as well. We'll
get to all that and much more right now here.
It is the Devil's in the details, our number one
(01:06):
hitting in Iceberg.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, come in the.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Beginning of another night of the Benmalor Show. We are
in the air everywhere, cheat to cheat as we are
loud and clear coast the coast, border, the motor and
beyond on the vast and talkatively powerful microphones of fs

(01:57):
The Way tire Buying show me in our lead from
La lalland Pro Basketball a night of non competitive NBA games,
But for the Clips, they were at a four kiloor
Dallas and the Clippers. I think you know we're gonna
start with that game. Of course we will throw the
(02:21):
low hanging fruit out to the masses. So the Mavericks
and Clippers Game five Western Conference Opening Round. The winner
of Game five.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Historically has won the series eighty two percent of the time,
according to Kevin Harlan, So clearly there would be motivation
to win Game five that you should you should bring
the gusto, you should bring the energy.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You should bring the effort. I brought the effort. I
don't know about you. I did. I sat. I almost
got on my left ass cheek. I think I got
a blister from sitting watching all of this. But anyway,
maybe you so. Luka Doncic. Reading the lead up to
this game, you would have thought that they were going
to have to chop off the leg of Luca below
(03:04):
the knee. Oh my aching knee, Luca. Nothing the NBA
does better than throwing out the dramatic thespian performance there,
the overcoming the injury. The I always like to bring
up the Willis Reid game, which is the most ridiculous
thing in the world. He played the first quarter, that's it.
But the New York media had a field day with that,
(03:24):
and to this day, if you're of a certain age,
the Willis Reid game or the Michael Jordan flu game,
which we've learned since that documentary was not even the flu.
It was food poisoning. The Kobe Bryant, I mean, they
do that and Luca, I'll be fine this oh my
aching knee. He went out and scored twenty of his
thirty five in the second half. At tennis, sist a
(03:46):
bunch of rebounds and Dallas, Dallas puts the Clippers of
the Guillotine won twenty three to ninety three. A sad
day for the People's team as the Dallas Pro bounds
ball team takes a three games to two lead in
the first round series. A Maxi Kleiba with five to
(04:07):
three pointers, Kyrie irving a very quiet fourteen points as
the Mavericks win. But the better story ding, Ning, Ning, ning, Ning,
losing locker room. That's where we will go. So let
us discuss the question, which is a rather obvious question.
How do James Harden and Paul George allow the Clippers
(04:30):
to lose a home playoff game by thirty points? How
do you do that? So I've got Yo Yo d
talks and pendulum, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make bread and
butter is what we're going to make. Because you think
the bread and butter would just be playing with some
(04:50):
extra effort in a playoff game. But what do I know?
So a to answer the question, how do James Harden,
Paul George and the Clippers lose a home playoff game
by thirty points? Performance made me want to puke in
my mouth. I think I did actually puke in my
mouth at the start of the fourth quarter. But it
was an all encompassing type of suck. As we learned
from a baseball player recently, it was gutless basketball. There's
(05:14):
no other way to say it. It was absolutely gutless.
Lack of daisical. I'd a buddy of mine sometimes he'll
text me for gambling wisdom, and he sent me a
text during the afternoon and I was kind of out
of it, and I was kind of, you know, trying
to get my day going, and he's like, hey, I
saw on TV that Luca's not gonna probably play. He
(05:36):
might not play. If he plays, he's not going to
be that good. And he's got a bad knee and
all that knees barking, and this is a time to
go big, but big on the Clippers. And my response
was your fool, was my response. Because the key actors
for the Clippers, and this has been a problem for years,
and it was the same thing in the Lob City Day.
(06:00):
They've changed the actors, but the play is the same,
the script is the same. The key players for the
Clippers suffer from a neurosis. They have bipolar disorder. They
go from success to suck and on a dime. Now
a lot of people go from good to bad, but
it's just different. It's like a yo yo up and
(06:20):
down and all around. And even with that said as
my unprofessional diagnosis, even with that said, what the Clippers
did in that game on Wednesday night was a masterclass
in fecal matter. Paul George, he's in the big chair right.
I keep seeing these stories from the NBA insider crowd.
(06:43):
They're like, Wow, Paul George, he's gonna opt out. People
want to sign Paul George to a big contract to
be their lead dog. And I'm like, Okay, he was
in the big chair and right there, big chair on
the vomit comet is where he was a headliner who
played hooky. He had fifteen points. That's a lead that's
a lead guy fifteen. It's not like Dallas is a
(07:03):
good defensive team. They're not. How about James Harden. James
Harden suffering from a chronic case of IDGAF. I don't
give an f. He had two field goals, made two
four turnovers, seven points a minus twenty five while he
was out in the court and departures in the partree.
(07:25):
And then you've got Russell west Brick, who was an
absolute Mama luke in this game. Now he's a backup,
but he's a Hall of famer. He had a triple
double every game, mister triple double, had as many assists
as my fat ass and your fat ass at zero sis.
(07:45):
And those three players, all of them hall of famers.
They will all be hanging out with Muffett McGraw, all
of them, George, Harden and Westbrook combined to shoot twenty
two point two percent. They couldn't even get to thirty
three point three percent, which would have been half the
Sign of the Devil. But it blows me away. And
it's not even they're gonna miss shots. I get it,
(08:05):
But watching this, the attitude, the mentality, the style of
play absolutely does just drive me insane. That's probably why
I lost my hair. Generally speaking, the more aggressive team
wins in any athletic endeavor. We have all heard that
is this not some kind of great epiphany that the
(08:28):
more aggressive team wins in a boxing match, the more
aggressive fighter often wins, right, as usually in a basketball
game and a football game, and the other thing. It's like,
it's not that you're asking too much maximum effort and
just hustling, hustling on every play. It does not require
you to be an Olympic athlete. You do not have
(08:49):
to be an elite athlete. You don't have to have
any athletic ability just to put effort in. And these guys, all,
these guys all have great athletic ability. It's just craziness
to me that this goes on, and it's like, why
we shouldn't be like this. It's it's insane, absolutely insane.
(09:11):
And uh is that Paul George we have talking about?
Speaker 4 (09:14):
This?
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Are all?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Here's a Paul George on the Clippers lack of effort
in a playoff game.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
I just think we just got to do a better
job of getting in rhythm, playing a.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Little with a little faster.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
I thought that was their counter tonight was to play
faster offensively, which got them in rhythm and got them
in a better flow. But that's got to be our
mentality going into Game six is just playing a little faster.
I think a lot of those you know, three point
shots for late in the shot clock, where there wasn't
(09:46):
much rhythm or flow to those three. So we just
got to do a better job of getting in rhythm,
uh with with you know, playing a little up tempo
and uh and especially in a half court.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, the rhythm was a flat line. That was the
rhythm flat line. Since Paul George is now podcast, p
can I now play? I think I can play in
the NBA. I do podcasts, this show's podcast. I do
podcast on the weekend. Why don't I moonlight and play
in the NBA? How about that? All right? Now, turning
the Patriot, where does this performance leave the Clippers? Well,
(10:22):
the obvious one, Captain obvious is they're down three to two.
It is not an elimination. It's not a best of
five situation. Surprisingly, though, as walking into the studio and
I had I had this revelation from the Book of Revelation.
The Clippers are shockingly in really good shape. Here sneaky
(10:42):
good shape. And let me explain why. All they have
to do is win two games in a row. They've
got four Hall of Famers on the team. You think
they can win two games in a row, and this loss,
you'd think it would put the pressure on the Clips,
But no, the Clippers law will work as a detox
(11:02):
it's like a defense. Get those harmful performances out of
your body. Eliminate all the talksins and James Harden and
Paul George and what Russell Westbrook. They played better on
the road, the immense pressure from the great Clipper fans.
They struggle with that. The other option, though, would be
Kawhi Leonard get off his fat ass and stop malingering
(11:24):
and stop with the If I see one more shot
him sitting on the bench with a goofy look on
his face with the baseball cap, I'm throw something at
my TV, but go in your money. Stop with the absenteeism. Okay,
enough enough, but what are you doing? All right? Last
word here? So we talked about the Clippers being in
sneaky good shape, but on the other side for the Mavericks,
(11:46):
who had an oil painting in this game. Do the
Mavericks have the series in the back? Do the Mavericks
have this series in the back? Well? Absolutely not. It
just explained the Clippers in a sneaky good spot. Now,
why is that Kyrie or and Luka Doncick together have
not done anything right as a dynamic duo. They haven't
done anything yet, and I haven't really even been impressed
(12:08):
with the Mavericks, and they're playing this series. They're up
three games to two. But it's more about what the
Clippers haven't done than anything that the Dallas Mavericks have
done on the other side. And when you check the
pendulum of pressure, the Mallord pendulum of pressure, it is
actually on Dallas. It's leaning towards down. The Clippers have
already been eliminated. You've already eliminated them. I checked my inbox.
(12:30):
You've told me the Clippers cannot win that it's all over.
They're done. So Dallas right, they have to get this
and you can't. You cannot suffer from tight Touki syndrome.
If you get to a game seven, all bets are
off right. The Mavericks still have work to do. They
better not screw this up. Clippers can come out, Lucy Goosey.
(12:51):
They've already died. They'll be reborn if they win in
game six. But in a game seven, anything can happen
in a game set, and the Clippers'll get their stuff
together in game six. And more importantly, there's no such
thing as Uncle Mo. Uncle Mo does not exist. The
(13:11):
only Uncle Moe is a guy from Brooklyn that calls
the show that's the only Uncle Mo. Momentum is an
illusionary phenomena in sports. It is something that dumb sportscasters
and idiotic sports writers came up with to fill space
and to fill time period stop. It is the Ben
Mahlor Shows. We jump through the hoop, something the Clippers
(13:35):
did not do a lot of going through the hoop.
They hit the rim, they hit the backboard. Sometimes they
didn't even do that. We will take your call. Speak easy.
Roles are back in effect. But if you would like
to be part, you can join us. There are lines open.
It's always a popular show. The animals that listen to
the show love when the Clippers lose. They get so
(13:56):
much shot in freud out of it. But not an elimination,
so you'll have to stand your ground. Not an elimination
situation that yet anyway. Also on ex at Ben Mahlor
at Ben Malor. If you'd like to be part telling
it like it is, telling it like it is, we'll
get to that and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Rolling on all night, hanging out with you. As we
slide into a Thursday. Who yeah, kind of see the
finish line of the week. But there's no finish line
really because I got my podcast on the weekend, so
it just keep going. It's a NonStop blob. We started
(16:03):
out with the Clippers and the mav Rex in the
NBA conversation and we will take your calls coming up
here momentarily on that. But the Natives are restless. They
have a lot to say. They have a lot to say,
and they're spicy. How they love they They want the
Clippers to be in the playoffs every day. They wanted
(16:23):
to lose every single playoff game. I'm on the air,
that's what they want. They were devastated a couple of
years ago the Clippers made the Final Four. It was devastating.
They were like, I don't know how to handle this.
Clippers have had success. I don't I don't understand it.
I don't know that they will have a Game seven.
I think there will be a Game seven. I said
(16:43):
at the beginning, I thought this thing was going to
go seven. But the only positive from this would be
that would be the last game they have to play
as the home team on skid Row there at that
dump of an arena. That they should just take a
wrecking ball to that place. What a disaster that place is.
Imagine Billy skid Roll, God, you better bring a weapon
(17:06):
with you when you go down there. It's a warzone.
A late night drug tester rights and says, no worries.
The Clippers will win and move on in the playoffs.
They need to fill the e crypt since they are
the last team left in the playoffs in that town.
Ferd Dog says, I am not ready to throw in
the towel just yet. Ben. These Clippers have the heart
(17:28):
of a champion, and I have no doubt that they
will bring the series for a winner take all Game seven.
Go Clips go. That's right, go clips go. Ifami and Chicago,
rights and says, a plus and a box of Hostess
zebra cakes. On the monologue, I respect humility to make
(17:49):
it entertaining for us non pro bouncy ball watchers. The
Cubbies stole a win at they one nothing against the
hated Metropolitans on a bad call at the plate, and
he says, hashtag cubby Chubby. So he says. Shandon moy
says good newby night. He says, cheers to all the newbies.
(18:09):
They gives some take about the Mariners. I don't know
that we want that. Yeah, super Market Steve says, you
made the same mistake last year in the nonchalant attitude.
It is time to push the panic button. His time
for some tough love. No, that's a bad take, Supermarket Steve,
shut your Yeah, you don't know what you're talking about.
(18:29):
The Clippers got this, okay, everyone's already. Everyone's gonna bet
on the Mavericks. You know how much money the sportsbooks
are gonna make when the Clippers end up on the
right side of that game in game six? And it
really comes down to what television needs? Does television need
a game seven? All this is scripted, It's like professional wrestling,
So does TV need a game seven? Uncle Mo writes,
(18:50):
and he says, he says, or actually, Jason the Diamond.
It says, Uncle Moe believes and you Ben why you
not believe in him? He says, another perfect probem. Well,
he's talking about Mo from the Simpsons. He says, another
perfect bouncy ball opening, and you are not wrong. The
pressure is on Dallas to close it out on Friday.
(19:13):
Friday Friday, Matt the Warrior Raider fan says he fully
expects the Clippers stars to rise to the occasion in
the next game. He says, James Harden is going to
bounce back and prove everyone wrong, all the critics, and
Russ is far from washed up. He will have a
(19:35):
big game as well. And Kawhi can't wait to get
back on the court. Thank you for that.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
Didn't say that he I'm doing the show any guy
I know, But he didn't say that.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Stay in your lane, as LeVar Ball would say. That's
how I interpreted the comments that he made, and I
believe that's what he meant. That was the aura he
was trying to provide. These comments on so social media
are like, fine, art, go there and you determine what
the artist is trying.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
To You are censoring the voice of which.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I'm not answering. Anyone. I am helping that listener who
is a little a little clueless. I'm helping double ol
Mexican in San Diego, says eight point three. On the
Mallard monologue, he says the Clippers lost by thirty Yes
as a podcast pee playoff. Harden, West, Brick and Kawhi
(20:30):
were there, but they'll bounce back. I think that's what
he meant there. Ryan Wright, Sin says opening monologue gets
a nine. He says, you're on the verge of a
melt I'm not. I'm not on the vergeon of a meltdown.
I'm calm, I'm cool, I'm level headed. That's a bad
job by you, Ryan, bad job by you.
Speaker 9 (20:47):
I bet you won't even be here when the Clippers lose.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I'll be here.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
I'm glad you won't show up.
Speaker 1 (20:53):

Oh man, I can see it. It's all. It's all
lining up here, Eddie. Everything's lining up just like I
I anticipate, you know. I it was a third quarter,
late third quarter, early fourth quarter. Everything kind of came

(29:26):
Texas Jack, who's gonna be running around with his He's
like he's gonna be like a peacock with his feathers
up in the air. But it's not over yet. Hello
Texas Jack, how you doing?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
Man? How are you?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
If I was any better, I'd be a Harden, But
not James Harden because he can't do anything right.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Oh well, I didn't know what was your birthday the
other day? Happy Mark Day?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Well thank you very kind of you to say that.
I do appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
All we could do is delivery the worst loss and
playoff history for the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Well that was not on my actual birthday. My birthday
was a couple of days ago. And then okay, delayed gift,
so I was on layer. We used to call it
lay away back in the day, remember that.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Yeah, yeah, I got all my school goals that way.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yea, it's the way to do it. Yeah yeah, but
now nobody wants They don't even do that anymore. Do they?
I don't think they do. Why would they know what's
on your mind? Well, I know what's on your mind.
You want to pump your chest out, you want to
flex a little bit, you want a wet on the catwalk?
Is that what you want to do?
Speaker 5 (30:32):
No, I'm not much for bragging.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
But but see when you say but anything anything any
when you say but anything you said before the word
but is a lie. So go ahead.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Well, I didn't like how you rip your team to
shreds and you don't give the other team any credit.
I like how you do that.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Well, I would give them credit if I felt credit
was worthy. But there's nothing that Dallas did in this
game that was amazing. It was more about what the
Clippers didn't do well.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
We got two stars on each team, both with hurt knees.
One plays and one dresses in street clothes, and you
want to rip the guy who.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Plays, Well, Kawhi looks great out of this guy's he's
a good looking man in street clothes, and I think
the reason he doesn't like to play. No, seriously, I
think the reason he doesn't like to play is because
he looks better without the basketball uniform. Doesn't make you
look very good. He likes wearing the baseball caps. You
can't wear a baseball cap when you're playing in the
(31:34):
in the NBA, they don't allow that. Yeah, I think
that's part of it. I think if they allowed baseball hats,
Kawhi would be Really.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
It's an awful expensive spectator, That's all I got to say.
And you're your owner, that dancing Steve Bomer.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Whatever, that's the richest. That's the richest owner in all
that's the richest owner in all the sports, right there. Richest.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Okay, well, he can go roll around in his money
because he ain't going around two.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
We'll see about that. Let's see about that. I bet
bet everything you have Texas jacket.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Your take that they are in the perfect position.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Yeah, right now, that's right.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
What's wrong with that take? What's wrong with that take?
What's wrong with that take? Is nothing wrong? It is
not verdiculable. Dallas. Dallas is gonna must win. They will
not win Game seven. They are they must win the
Mavericks in Game six. They already they gaged the game
at home already, so they can lose another game at
home and then all of a sudden, It's like, wait
a minute, is Luca gonna lose another playoff series of
(32:38):
the Clippers. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (32:42):
We have the better team.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
You don't have the better team. It was too too
after four you have a one game. The Clippers are
gonna win Game six and then it'll be free. Freeing
it loud does not make it right. Might have to
speak up your nonsense, Jack Texas jack ass Jack. You
got a golden ticket? No, no golden ticket, no golden
(33:08):
ticket for you, hit void, void, thank you. I I
have to go. I have to get somewhere with a
clue on the air. Not you, You're fired. So Charles
(33:29):
Barkley went on a rant. God love Charles bark This
guy's great. He went on a rant, which we've been
saying this, but nobody listens to us. We just did
the Overnight show. But Barkley went on this long winded
rant about the basketball media. And there's a couple of
points and now I'll give you. I'm not gonna play
it for it's kind of long and all that, but
it's classic Barkley. You can find it on the on
(33:50):
the interweb. It's it's not that hard to find, but
Barkley went on this rant and he was explaining how
like the basketball media, they so want to be friends
with the players, they so want to hang out with
the players, that it clouds the commentary on the NBA,
the people that cover basketball. So Barkley's spot on he
(34:14):
hit the bulls eye. The only thing I would do
to touch up Barkley's work is it was the same
way when he was playing for the Sixers and the Suns.
It's a little worse now because there's there's people trying
to get cloud. Before it didn't really need to get
clout because you just got a byline in a newspaper.
You didn't have to worry about cloud. But now it's
(34:34):
all get getting cloud. You can hang out. There are
guys that cover the Lakers on the Laker beat that
I am convinced think they are on the Laker roster.
I'm convinced of it, like they just they believe they're
part of the team. It's fascinating. But he called out
all the punks, idiots and jackasses who want to be
media and I want to be friends with all the players.
(34:54):
So I thought that was great. All right, all sales
are final, We'll get to that. Here's the who am I? Game?
James Harden passed me by for the most playoff games
in NBA history shooting less than twenty percent from the floor. Again,
James Harden passed me by for the most playoff games
(35:15):
in NBA history shooting less than twenty percent from the field.
Who am I? That's the question? The answer. We'll get
to it. We'll do it next.

original Recipe podcast. We recorded this overnight, so you are
empowered to listen on demand. Don't tell the people that
listen to the live show limited commercial eruption on the pod. Yep,
you have an advantage, but you don't get to hear
the live show. But here's what happened. You also get
(00:22):
to hear the bad words, which we don't edit out.
So here in our number one, it's all about pro
bouncy ball. The Dallas Mavericks put a can of whoop
ass on the people's team. How do James Hard and
Paul George and the Clippers lose at home playoff game?
Lose a hope play off game by thirty points? How
does that happen? We'll discuss that. Also, where does this
(00:45):
performance leave the Clippers as they are trailing in the
best of seven series three games to two. And do
the Mavericks have this series now in the bag? We'll
take a look at the Dallas side as well. We'll
get to all that and much more right now here.
It is the Devil's in the details, our number one
(01:06):
hitting in Iceberg.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Well, come in the.
Speaker 1 (01:11):

(01:57):
The Way tire Buying show me in our lead from
La lalland Pro Basketball a night of non competitive NBA games,
But for the Clips, they were at a four kiloor
Dallas and the Clippers. I think you know we're gonna
start with that game. Of course we will throw the
(02:21):
low hanging fruit out to the masses. So the Mavericks
and Clippers Game five Western Conference Opening Round. The winner
of Game five.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Historically has won the series eighty two percent of the time,
according to Kevin Harlan, So clearly there would be motivation
to win Game five that you should you should bring
the gusto, you should bring the energy.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You should bring the effort. I brought the effort. I
don't know about you. I did. I sat. I almost
got on my left ass cheek. I think I got
a blister from sitting watching all of this. But anyway,
maybe you so. Luka Doncic. Reading the lead up to
this game, you would have thought that they were going
to have to chop off the leg of Luca below
(03:04):
the knee. Oh my aching knee, Luca. Nothing the NBA
does better than throwing out the dramatic thespian performance there,
the overcoming the injury. The I always like to bring
up the Willis Reid game, which is the most ridiculous
thing in the world. He played the first quarter, that's it.
But the New York media had a field day with that,
(03:24):
and to this day, if you're of a certain age,
the Willis Reid game or the Michael Jordan flu game,
which we've learned since that documentary was not even the flu.
It was food poisoning. The Kobe Bryant, I mean, they
do that and Luca, I'll be fine this oh my
aching knee. He went out and scored twenty of his
thirty five in the second half. At tennis, sist a
(03:46):
bunch of rebounds and Dallas, Dallas puts the Clippers of
the Guillotine won twenty three to ninety three. A sad
day for the People's team as the Dallas Pro bounds
ball team takes a three games to two lead in
the first round series. A Maxi Kleiba with five to
(04:07):
three pointers, Kyrie irving a very quiet fourteen points as
the Mavericks win. But the better story ding, Ning, Ning, ning, Ning,
losing locker room. That's where we will go. So let
us discuss the question, which is a rather obvious question.
How do James Harden and Paul George allow the Clippers
(04:30):
to lose a home playoff game by thirty points? How
do you do that? So I've got Yo Yo d
talks and pendulum, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make bread and
butter is what we're going to make. Because you think
the bread and butter would just be playing with some
(04:50):
extra effort in a playoff game. But what do I know?
So a to answer the question, how do James Harden,
Paul George and the Clippers lose a home playoff game
by thirty points? Performance made me want to puke in
my mouth. I think I did actually puke in my
mouth at the start of the fourth quarter. But it
was an all encompassing type of suck. As we learned
from a baseball player recently, it was gutless basketball. There's
(05:14):
no other way to say it. It was absolutely gutless.
Lack of daisical. I'd a buddy of mine sometimes he'll
text me for gambling wisdom, and he sent me a
text during the afternoon and I was kind of out
of it, and I was kind of, you know, trying
to get my day going, and he's like, hey, I
saw on TV that Luca's not gonna probably play. He
(05:36):
might not play. If he plays, he's not going to
be that good. And he's got a bad knee and
all that knees barking, and this is a time to
go big, but big on the Clippers. And my response
was your fool, was my response. Because the key actors
for the Clippers, and this has been a problem for years,
and it was the same thing in the Lob City Day.
(06:00):
They've changed the actors, but the play is the same,
the script is the same. The key players for the
Clippers suffer from a neurosis. They have bipolar disorder. They
go from success to suck and on a dime. Now
a lot of people go from good to bad, but
it's just different. It's like a yo yo up and
(06:20):
down and all around. And even with that said as
my unprofessional diagnosis, even with that said, what the Clippers
did in that game on Wednesday night was a masterclass
in fecal matter. Paul George, he's in the big chair right.
I keep seeing these stories from the NBA insider crowd.
(06:43):
They're like, Wow, Paul George, he's gonna opt out. People
want to sign Paul George to a big contract to
be their lead dog. And I'm like, Okay, he was
in the big chair and right there, big chair on
the vomit comet is where he was a headliner who
played hooky. He had fifteen points. That's a lead that's
a lead guy fifteen. It's not like Dallas is a
(07:03):
good defensive team. They're not. How about James Harden. James
Harden suffering from a chronic case of IDGAF. I don't
give an f. He had two field goals, made two
four turnovers, seven points a minus twenty five while he
was out in the court and departures in the partree.
(07:25):
And then you've got Russell west Brick, who was an
absolute Mama luke in this game. Now he's a backup,
but he's a Hall of famer. He had a triple
double every game, mister triple double, had as many assists
as my fat ass and your fat ass at zero sis.
(07:45):
And those three players, all of them hall of famers.
They will all be hanging out with Muffett McGraw, all
of them, George, Harden and Westbrook combined to shoot twenty
two point two percent. They couldn't even get to thirty
three point three percent, which would have been half the
Sign of the Devil. But it blows me away. And
it's not even they're gonna miss shots. I get it,
(08:05):
But watching this, the attitude, the mentality, the style of
play absolutely does just drive me insane. That's probably why
I lost my hair. Generally speaking, the more aggressive team
wins in any athletic endeavor. We have all heard that
is this not some kind of great epiphany that the
(08:28):
more aggressive team wins in a boxing match, the more
aggressive fighter often wins, right, as usually in a basketball
game and a football game, and the other thing. It's like,
it's not that you're asking too much maximum effort and
just hustling, hustling on every play. It does not require
you to be an Olympic athlete. You do not have
(08:49):
to be an elite athlete. You don't have to have
any athletic ability just to put effort in. And these guys, all,
these guys all have great athletic ability. It's just craziness
to me that this goes on, and it's like, why
we shouldn't be like this. It's it's insane, absolutely insane.
(09:11):
And uh is that Paul George we have talking about?
Speaker 4 (09:14):
This?
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Are all?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Here's a Paul George on the Clippers lack of effort
in a playoff game.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
I just think we just got to do a better
job of getting in rhythm, playing a.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Little with a little faster.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
I thought that was their counter tonight was to play
faster offensively, which got them in rhythm and got them
in a better flow. But that's got to be our
mentality going into Game six is just playing a little faster.
I think a lot of those you know, three point
shots for late in the shot clock, where there wasn't
(09:46):
much rhythm or flow to those three. So we just
got to do a better job of getting in rhythm,
uh with with you know, playing a little up tempo
and uh and especially in a half court.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, the rhythm was a flat line. That was the
rhythm flat line. Since Paul George is now podcast, p
can I now play? I think I can play in
the NBA. I do podcasts, this show's podcast. I do
podcast on the weekend. Why don't I moonlight and play
in the NBA? How about that? All right? Now, turning
the Patriot, where does this performance leave the Clippers? Well,
(10:22):
the obvious one, Captain obvious is they're down three to two.
It is not an elimination. It's not a best of
five situation. Surprisingly, though, as walking into the studio and
I had I had this revelation from the Book of Revelation.
The Clippers are shockingly in really good shape. Here sneaky
(10:42):
good shape. And let me explain why. All they have
to do is win two games in a row. They've
got four Hall of Famers on the team. You think
they can win two games in a row, and this loss,
you'd think it would put the pressure on the Clips,
But no, the Clippers law will work as a detox
(11:02):
it's like a defense. Get those harmful performances out of
your body. Eliminate all the talksins and James Harden and
Paul George and what Russell Westbrook. They played better on
the road, the immense pressure from the great Clipper fans.
They struggle with that. The other option, though, would be
Kawhi Leonard get off his fat ass and stop malingering
(11:24):
and stop with the If I see one more shot
him sitting on the bench with a goofy look on
his face with the baseball cap, I'm throw something at
my TV, but go in your money. Stop with the absenteeism. Okay,
enough enough, but what are you doing? All right? Last
word here? So we talked about the Clippers being in
sneaky good shape, but on the other side for the Mavericks,
(11:46):
who had an oil painting in this game. Do the
Mavericks have the series in the back? Do the Mavericks
have this series in the back? Well? Absolutely not. It
just explained the Clippers in a sneaky good spot. Now,
why is that Kyrie or and Luka Doncick together have
not done anything right as a dynamic duo. They haven't
done anything yet, and I haven't really even been impressed
(12:08):
with the Mavericks, and they're playing this series. They're up
three games to two. But it's more about what the
Clippers haven't done than anything that the Dallas Mavericks have
done on the other side. And when you check the
pendulum of pressure, the Mallord pendulum of pressure, it is
actually on Dallas. It's leaning towards down. The Clippers have
already been eliminated. You've already eliminated them. I checked my inbox.
(12:30):
You've told me the Clippers cannot win that it's all over.
They're done. So Dallas right, they have to get this
and you can't. You cannot suffer from tight Touki syndrome.
If you get to a game seven, all bets are
off right. The Mavericks still have work to do. They
better not screw this up. Clippers can come out, Lucy Goosey.
(12:51):
They've already died. They'll be reborn if they win in
game six. But in a game seven, anything can happen
in a game set, and the Clippers'll get their stuff
together in game six. And more importantly, there's no such
thing as Uncle Mo. Uncle Mo does not exist. The
(13:11):
only Uncle Moe is a guy from Brooklyn that calls
the show that's the only Uncle Mo. Momentum is an
illusionary phenomena in sports. It is something that dumb sportscasters
and idiotic sports writers came up with to fill space
and to fill time period stop. It is the Ben
Mahlor Shows. We jump through the hoop, something the Clippers
(13:35):
did not do a lot of going through the hoop.
They hit the rim, they hit the backboard. Sometimes they
didn't even do that. We will take your call. Speak easy.
Roles are back in effect. But if you would like
to be part, you can join us. There are lines open.
It's always a popular show. The animals that listen to
the show love when the Clippers lose. They get so
(13:56):
much shot in freud out of it. But not an elimination,
so you'll have to stand your ground. Not an elimination
situation that yet anyway. Also on ex at Ben Mahlor
at Ben Malor. If you'd like to be part telling
it like it is, telling it like it is, we'll
get to that and we will do it next.

here momentarily on that. But the Natives are restless. They
have a lot to say. They have a lot to say,
and they're spicy. How they love they They want the
Clippers to be in the playoffs every day. They wanted
(16:23):
to lose every single playoff game. I'm on the air,
that's what they want. They were devastated a couple of
years ago the Clippers made the Final Four. It was devastating.
They were like, I don't know how to handle this.
Clippers have had success. I don't I don't understand it.
I don't know that they will have a Game seven.
I think there will be a Game seven. I said
(16:43):
at the beginning, I thought this thing was going to
go seven. But the only positive from this would be
that would be the last game they have to play
as the home team on skid Row there at that
dump of an arena. That they should just take a
wrecking ball to that place. What a disaster that place is.
Imagine Billy skid Roll, God, you better bring a weapon
(17:06):
with you when you go down there. It's a warzone.
A late night drug tester rights and says, no worries.
The Clippers will win and move on in the playoffs.
They need to fill the e crypt since they are
the last team left in the playoffs in that town.
Ferd Dog says, I am not ready to throw in
the towel just yet. Ben. These Clippers have the heart
(17:28):
of a champion, and I have no doubt that they
will bring the series for a winner take all Game seven.
Go Clips go. That's right, go clips go. Ifami and Chicago,
rights and says, a plus and a box of Hostess
zebra cakes. On the monologue, I respect humility to make
(17:49):
it entertaining for us non pro bouncy ball watchers. The
Cubbies stole a win at they one nothing against the
hated Metropolitans on a bad call at the plate, and
he says, hashtag cubby Chubby. So he says. Shandon moy
says good newby night. He says, cheers to all the newbies.
(18:09):
They gives some take about the Mariners. I don't know
that we want that. Yeah, super Market Steve says, you
made the same mistake last year in the nonchalant attitude.
It is time to push the panic button. His time
for some tough love. No, that's a bad take, Supermarket Steve,
shut your Yeah, you don't know what you're talking about.
(18:29):
The Clippers got this, okay, everyone's already. Everyone's gonna bet
on the Mavericks. You know how much money the sportsbooks
are gonna make when the Clippers end up on the
right side of that game in game six? And it
really comes down to what television needs? Does television need
a game seven? All this is scripted, It's like professional wrestling,
So does TV need a game seven? Uncle Mo writes,
(18:50):
and he says, he says, or actually, Jason the Diamond.
It says, Uncle Moe believes and you Ben why you
not believe in him? He says, another perfect probem. Well,
he's talking about Mo from the Simpsons. He says, another
perfect bouncy ball opening, and you are not wrong. The
pressure is on Dallas to close it out on Friday.
(19:13):
Friday Friday, Matt the Warrior Raider fan says he fully
expects the Clippers stars to rise to the occasion in
the next game. He says, James Harden is going to
bounce back and prove everyone wrong, all the critics, and
Russ is far from washed up. He will have a
(19:35):
big game as well. And Kawhi can't wait to get
back on the court. Thank you for that.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
Didn't say that he I'm doing the show any guy
I know, But he didn't say that.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Stay in your lane, as LeVar Ball would say. That's
how I interpreted the comments that he made, and I
believe that's what he meant. That was the aura he
was trying to provide. These comments on so social media
are like, fine, art, go there and you determine what
the artist is trying.
Speaker 9 (20:06):
To You are censoring the voice of which.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I'm not answering. Anyone. I am helping that listener who
is a little a little clueless. I'm helping double ol
Mexican in San Diego, says eight point three. On the
Mallard monologue, he says the Clippers lost by thirty Yes
as a podcast pee playoff. Harden, West, Brick and Kawhi
(20:30):
were there, but they'll bounce back. I think that's what
he meant there. Ryan Wright, Sin says opening monologue gets
a nine. He says, you're on the verge of a
melt I'm not. I'm not on the vergeon of a meltdown.
I'm calm, I'm cool, I'm level headed. That's a bad
job by you, Ryan, bad job by you.
Speaker 9 (20:47):
I bet you won't even be here when the Clippers lose.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I'll be here.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
I'm glad you won't show up.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
But I will be in Charleston, South Carolina, week from
Friday for a Mallard meet and greet. And I don't
know if anyone's going to show up. Maybe it'll just
be me there, Eddie. I don't know, maybe no one

send out some comments. I'll I'll be do it a
little bit later. Today for the podcast folks on where
you can meet me a week from Friday in Charleston,
(21:14):
South Carolina. Will the Clippers second Round game be on TV?
That will I'll be able to watch that, but that

Chip and Luca. I can see his took us tightening

my knee flaring up. I might not play in game seven.
I might not be able to play in game seven.
Speaker 9 (22:23):

lining up here, Eddie. Everything's lining up just like I
I anticipate, you know. I it was a third quarter,
late third quarter, early fourth quarter. Everything kind of came

Speaker 1 (29:40):

not James Harden because he can't do anything right.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Oh well, I didn't know what was your birthday the
other day? Happy Mark Day?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Well thank you very kind of you to say that.
I do appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
All we could do is delivery the worst loss and
playoff history for the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Well that was not on my actual birthday. My birthday
was a couple of days ago. And then okay, delayed gift,
so I was on layer. We used to call it
lay away back in the day, remember that.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Yeah, yeah, I got all my school goals that way.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yea, it's the way to do it. Yeah yeah, but
now nobody wants They don't even do that anymore. Do they?
I don't think they do. Why would they know what's
on your mind? Well, I know what's on your mind.
You want to pump your chest out, you want to
flex a little bit, you want a wet on the catwalk?
Is that what you want to do?
Speaker 5 (30:32):
No, I'm not much for bragging.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
But but see when you say but anything anything any
when you say but anything you said before the word
but is a lie. So go ahead.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Well, I didn't like how you rip your team to
shreds and you don't give the other team any credit.
I like how you do that.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Well, I would give them credit if I felt credit
was worthy. But there's nothing that Dallas did in this
game that was amazing. It was more about what the
Clippers didn't do well.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
We got two stars on each team, both with hurt knees.
One plays and one dresses in street clothes, and you
want to rip the guy who.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Plays, Well, Kawhi looks great out of this guy's he's
a good looking man in street clothes, and I think
the reason he doesn't like to play. No, seriously, I
think the reason he doesn't like to play is because
he looks better without the basketball uniform. Doesn't make you
look very good. He likes wearing the baseball caps. You
can't wear a baseball cap when you're playing in the
(31:34):
in the NBA, they don't allow that. Yeah, I think
that's part of it. I think if they allowed baseball hats,
Kawhi would be Really.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
It's an awful expensive spectator, That's all I got to say.
And you're your owner, that dancing Steve Bomer.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Whatever, that's the richest. That's the richest owner in all
that's the richest owner in all the sports, right there. Richest.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Okay, well, he can go roll around in his money
because he ain't going around two.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
We'll see about that. Let's see about that. I bet
bet everything you have Texas jacket.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Your take that they are in the perfect position.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Yeah, right now, that's right.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
What's wrong with that take? What's wrong with that take?
What's wrong with that take? Is nothing wrong? It is
not verdiculable. Dallas. Dallas is gonna must win. They will
not win Game seven. They are they must win the
Mavericks in Game six. They already they gaged the game
at home already, so they can lose another game at
home and then all of a sudden, It's like, wait
a minute, is Luca gonna lose another playoff series of
(32:38):
the Clippers. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (32:42):
We have the better team.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
You don't have the better team. It was too too
after four you have a one game. The Clippers are
gonna win Game six and then it'll be free. Freeing
it loud does not make it right. Might have to
speak up your nonsense, Jack Texas jack ass Jack. You
got a golden ticket? No, no golden ticket, no golden
(33:08):
ticket for you, hit void, void, thank you. I I
have to go. I have to get somewhere with a
clue on the air. Not you, You're fired. So Charles
(33:29):
Barkley went on a rant. God love Charles bark This
guy's great. He went on a rant, which we've been
saying this, but nobody listens to us. We just did
the Overnight show. But Barkley went on this long winded
rant about the basketball media. And there's a couple of
points and now I'll give you. I'm not gonna play
it for it's kind of long and all that, but
it's classic Barkley. You can find it on the on
(33:50):
the interweb. It's it's not that hard to find, but
Barkley went on this rant and he was explaining how
like the basketball media, they so want to be friends
with the players, they so want to hang out with
the players, that it clouds the commentary on the NBA,
the people that cover basketball. So Barkley's spot on he
(34:14):
hit the bulls eye. The only thing I would do
to touch up Barkley's work is it was the same
way when he was playing for the Sixers and the Suns.
It's a little worse now because there's there's people trying
to get cloud. Before it didn't really need to get
clout because you just got a byline in a newspaper.
You didn't have to worry about cloud. But now it's
(34:34):
all get getting cloud. You can hang out. There are
guys that cover the Lakers on the Laker beat that
I am convinced think they are on the Laker roster.
I'm convinced of it, like they just they believe they're
part of the team. It's fascinating. But he called out
all the punks, idiots and jackasses who want to be
media and I want to be friends with all the players.
(34:54):
So I thought that was great. All right, all sales
are final, We'll get to that. Here's the who am I? Game?
James Harden passed me by for the most playoff games
in NBA history shooting less than twenty percent from the floor. Again,
James Harden passed me by for the most playoff games
