Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number two, our number two
in the NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals from Milwaukee. The topic
at hand, how concerned should the Bucks be with their
surprising loss in the fourth quarter at a seven point
league going to the fourth quarter? Who gets the majority

(00:21):
of the blame? We played a blame game for Milwaukee. Also,
who has the edge the rest of the way between
the Celtics and Bucks. It's a best of three to
get to the final four of the NBA. They'll talk
about all of that. We will right here in our
number two. Call it an all in performance. Welcome, in

(00:46):
the beginning of another hour of the Bannemallers Shows. We
are in the air everywhere, side by side as we
watch out for dragons coast, the most border to order
and beyond all the bass and a rightfully powerful microphones

(01:06):
of fs are emmanating live from the seats, the cheap
seats of broadcasting the Fox Sports Radio studios at a
secret location somewhere in the north Woods. Our lead this
hour coming from the NBA Eastern Conference semi Finals, Game
four in the Rainy Champions from last season, Milwaukee looking

(01:31):
to take a three to one lead over Boston in Brewtown,
the home of the Harley Davidson motorcycle. Did you watch?
Maybe not? Well, you know who didn't watch. They actually
played Jason Tatum and Al Horford side by side Mano Amano,
the bread and butter of the Celtics on this night,

(01:54):
as Jason Tatum Al Horford each scored thirty points, Boston
storming back in the fourth quarter for a one sixteen
to one to eight win over the Bucks, of the
Celtics outscoring Milwaukee forty three to twenty eight in the
final twelve minutes for the victory. The Bucks got a
great stat line out of Yanni's Identi Coombo. Milwaukee would

(02:17):
be very happy with that stat line, but it was
not enough, not enough to get to win. So let
us discuss the question how concerned should the Bucks be
about this stumble at home? Chance to go up three
to one? Now it's two two best of three. So
the Maller scale of concern one to ten, with ten

(02:42):
being lightheadedness. This is a seven on the Mallar scale
of concern. I'm at a seven for the Bucks. I've
got Looney Tunes theatrical and Vincent van Gogh and we
will lock all of these random things together and make
the baba ganoos. We're gonna make the baba ganoos now.

(03:04):
Number one. Make no mistake here that I watched this game.
I was interested for several reasons. But the Bucks botched this.
This was a Bucks botched performance in this game. Now,
I will get a seven point lead going to the
fourth quarter. Is that a game over? No, of course,
not seven point lead, three buckets, three point shot, all

(03:27):
that stuff, but seven point lead fourth quarter. They were
in the driver's seat home cooking all that nonsense. The Celtics,
they were the ones with the tight tookis going to
the fourth quarter. They're the ones on the ropes. You
go down three to one, mathematically you're doomed. Now, there
have been teams that have come back from down three

(03:47):
to one, but facing that deficit, the Celtics would have
been having their last supper in the next game conceivably.
So they were the ones that had that had all
the immense pressure. As we said, and what we witnessed
if you watch the game, you know what I'm talking about.
For Milwaukee, here was an implosion. They went looney tunes

(04:13):
in the fourth quarter and they turned in one of
the great Looney Tunes characters. Foghorn, Leghorn, and they laid
an egg is what they did, several eggs in the
fourth quarter. It was a fourth quarter defensive debacle, melt down,
whatever adjective you want to use the Celtics. Celtics have

(04:35):
a good team, They're not that good. Not eighty four
percent from the four good, which is exactly what Boston
shot in the fourth quarter sixteen of nineteen. They attempted
nineteen few goals, they made sixteen of them. So we're
eighty four percent from three point range. Took five three pointers,
made four of them. My computer, like brain, tells me

(04:57):
that's eighty percent from downtown. This was an absolute masterpiece
by Boston. But it's not possible. Remember most games are lost,
not one. It's not possible. If the Bucks had played
an ounce of defense, they were matadors lay and the
Celtics did what they wanted here now secondly in the

(05:20):
fourth quarter of the day. But secondly, who gets the
majority of the blame? I love playing the blame game,
and for Milwaukee, the blame game I'm going with janis Identicomboat,
Drew Holliday, and Grayson Allen. Those are the three, the
three studios, now the Greek freak. He had an impressive
overall stat line. And so for those that don't watch

(05:42):
these games and just look at the numbers, you're like, okay,
you can't blame him, but the reality is something different here.
He in the fourth quarter tripped and fell in a
very theatrical way, dramatic way when it mattered most. And
I'm talking about defense and picular when you're the headliner
and you don't deliver, you then have to wear the

(06:04):
shame bell. That's how this works. And adent to Cumbo
three of seven from the floor in the fourth quarter,
it was just not good enough and he had to
suffer the indignity of being outplayed by Al Horford. Al
Horford outplayed the former MVP Jannis Adenti Coombo in the

(06:26):
fourth quarter. That is a stay it with me now fiasco,
a fiasco for the gentleman from Wisconsin. And then you
have Drew Holiday, who was on holiday. In the fourth quarter,
all five from the floor had one point. He was
out there and the Bucks were outscored by seventeen points overall.

(06:47):
Drew Holiday was terrible and the game throughout wasn't just
the fourth quarter, five of twenty two from the floor,
and he missed a bunch of what we called back
when I was playing basketball bunnies. When I was money ball,
Mallywood called those bunnies. Now I'm going to include Grayson
Allen this and the reason I'm including he's so he's

(07:08):
a role player. You can't really include a role player. Well,
I'll screw you. I can do what I want. And
Grayson Allen, he was the breakout star, he was the
big hero and several of those games in the series
against the Chicago Bulls, and he had been playing like
he was back at Duke in that playoff series against

(07:29):
the Celtics. The glass slipper has cracked. It's back to
reality Ville here. Grayson Allen shooting forty percent from the
floor in the series collective. He didn't play well in
the game that was played on Monday night, twenty eight
percent from three point range. And so the Celtics must
be paying attention to him. But he's just been lousy.

(07:51):
He's been lousy. Has a total Grayson Allen of twenty
three points in the first four games this last game
included here against the Celtics. Not good enough. Not obviously
not good enough. You set the bar rather high, and
you who have not performed up to expectation now or

(08:12):
maybe you have performed up to expectation, and that is
the problem. Final point. So here we are too too.
It's the NBA's wet dream. They love these two two series.
They've got a lot of them in the semifinals because
they want the game seven, they want the full seven games,
they want that game seven, advertising revenue reasons, the whole thing.

(08:35):
And I got several emails from conspiracy theorists which it
looked like Memphis was gonna be Golden State and every
series would have been two two, and it didn't work
out that way. The Warriors ended up making a couple
more shots in the fourth quarter, actually several more, and
beat the Grizzlies. But the point is that as far
as where we are right now in this Eastern Conference
semifinals series, who has the age the rest of the

(08:57):
way between the Celtics and the Box Now we're giving
a s light, lying a very slight lean to Boston.
It's not because of home court or anything like that.
That's limited. Both teams have been able to win on
the road here. So I'm not really weighing that as
a denominating factor here. But the Celtics they've been able
to win a couple of these games without their key guys,

(09:19):
Game two without Marcus Smart, Game four, this last game
here without Robert Williams. So they've been modeling themselves. Next
man up, do your job, blah blah blah blah blah.
People have been raising their performance for the Celtics, and
and Al Horford is a wonderful example of that. Al
Horford went Vincent van go here. He painted the starry

(09:42):
night in this particular game. It was a virtuoso performance
and a couple of years ago I had the chance
to some filling work locally in Boston radio, and at
that time he was known. He'd picked up the nickname
average Al because Al Horford, and it is really true
of his career. He's not particularly bad in any one area,

(10:05):
but he's also not particularly good in anyone are He's
kind of he's a little above average in everything, but
nothing really pops about Al Horford. In this game he
was able to expand his horizons and for one night
everything was great. But it's a double edged sword for

(10:26):
the Celtic and I'm giving the lean to Boston here.
But it's a double edge sort. If you need that
performance from al Horford again, good luck, all right, highly unlikely, improbable.
You could say that the Celtics will get that type
of performance by Al Horford again. I buy into the

(10:47):
myth that lightning does not strike the same place twice,
back to back and belly to belly, And so if
the Celtics are gonna need that going forward to win
again in one of these games upcoming, I'm not counting
on that happening. And but for one night, Al Horford
was wonderful, was absolutely wonderful, and was better down the

(11:13):
stretch then a former MVP Jannis Identa Coumbo. So the
Celtics can be happy and smile and all that, but
the better story is in the losing locker room. Mike Budenholzer.
Doesn't Budenholzer always look like he's been up all night
and he's studying for a test and he's cramming it
all in and he hasn't eaten well and his diet's

(11:35):
a little messed up. He always has that look. Budenholzer,
the coach of the box. Anyway, here's Mike Budenholzer, who
claims that he has an interesting take on what's to
come for the Bucks in the Celtics' two to two
were Gone Back. You know it's exciting. Wow, it's supposed
to be and it's gonna be a great series. And
you know we're looking forward to Game five going on

(11:56):
the road, and you know we've been there before and
we gotta be our best. That was just filler. That
was Mike Budenholzer saying, I am not going to put
any effort into this, and I am just gonna roll
off as many cliches, as many platitudes as I can
possibly squeeze in to a sound. But I think we

(12:17):
should play this again. How many seconds is this? Roberto?
What are we looking at here? In thirteen seconds? Thirteen second?
So it's not that long. I'm I wasn't counting. I'm
gonna say there were five to six versions of cliches
slash platitudes. But let's play the audio. Here's Mike Budenholzer
talking about what he has ahead of him for the Bucks.

(12:38):
Two to two, We're going back. You know, it's exciting,
that's the way it's supposed to be, and it's gonna
be a great series, and uh, you know we're looking
forward to Game five going on the road, and um,
you know we've been there before, and five we gotta
be our best. Six I was right, I was like six.
I counted six, right. How about Yannis at ten the coumbo,

(13:00):
let's get freak on the bed mouth so we're getting
freaking were the Greek freak? Here is Jannis who is
very obliging to the opponent. Here he would like to
butter up the biscuits of the Celtics, you know, playing
a lot of one on one. They were hidden shots.
They were opening the pup with whole for the wide

(13:22):
open threes. But at the end of the day, like
the main shots, you know down this day is the
main shote. They execute will of a discipline, so you
got to give them credit. But therefor it was there
also the effort way. So if you thought the Bucks
were not going to put effort out in the playoff game,
they at least they tried. They tried it, and I
love that he worked in the end of the day.

(13:45):
One of the favorite cliches of professional athletes, not at
the start of the day, but at the end of it.
What about the middlewood is it at the middle of
the day. Well, they're all important. We got to win
as many as we can. A lot of baseball be playing.
Anything can happen, and we're gonna come to the the yard
each and every day, battle each night and look up
at the NF see what we're saying. We know our
work has cut out for us. We got a lot

(14:06):
of work to do. Hopefully we can all come together
realize what we have here and try to get something done. Well,
that's the all time, people. There's a lot of the
bab there's a lot of what we do here in
sports radio is debating the goat. Who's the goat? I
need the goat. Most goats have fly I've seen when

(14:26):
I was a kid. I used to go to the
zoo and he goats they had, they'd flies all over them.
They smelled terrible goats. But everyone wants to be the goat.
The goat of the cliche is and forever until taking
off the throne, the Great Scott pod saiding a nondescript
average Major League baseball player who hung around for a

(14:47):
while a couple of years. I think he was an
All Star, maybe once or twice, but there's nothing special,
but he's the king, the goat of the cliche. All right,
it is the Bannet Mallard shout. If you would like
to be part here, you can join us. The lines
are open at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three six nine.

(15:10):
Also on Twitter at Ben Mallard. That's at Ben Mallory.
You can be part of the festivities. We've still got
to get to that geographically challenged story. Also, is there
a cover up cover up involving a very powerful figure
in the NFL? Do we have a scandal? Another scandal.

(15:34):
We'll try to get to the bottom of that. We
will do it all, and we will do it next.
Get Dom Funky Chicken and Ramo Chicken and your mind.
Oh yeah. 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. Hello,

(16:00):
my old friend, Well come man. The darkness means it's
time for marginal sports talk radio all night. Little Dandy
Coop to loop and roll the TI. We are to
get its nut. Your ever rich late night show here
different than the average and their callers go from there

(16:22):
and far to the sun of Mallard. Sometimes Ben becomes unwolled.
It takes the entire village to raise up the Mallard militia.
We need support from comrades like you to get the

(16:44):
most out of the Ben Mallard Show. Have your voice
be heard by the night loving masses. It takes hardly
any time to follow your host on Twitter. He's at
Ben Mallard and you can tweet at and follow our
executive producer. He is manning the phones. But he's more
than just the call screener. He's the liar I r
am a menace of Fox Sports Radio Network. It's the
coop dlof Justin Cooper, and he's at you, h bronco fan.

(17:07):
You don't want to fluffer nutter in your mouth. It's
just me and I live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
It's Ben Maller, all right. Matt, the typical annoying Boston
sports fan says, so welcome back. Yeah, these Celtics can't
and won't bank on Al Horford dropping thirty again. But
maybe if you hadn't been off gallivanting in the north

(17:32):
blankety blank, you would know that he has gone to
a new level in the playoffs, and he's averaging sixteen
points per game this postseason. He says he's the glue
guy of the team. Okay, he outplayed Jannis in the
fourth quarter of a playoff game. That's next level. And

(17:52):
sixteen points isn't all that good. So let's not get
excited about sixteen points per game. Okay, can we least
agree on that that that's not that great and we
don't need to get excited about that. That's the point anyway.
So we have geographically challenge. We'll get to that story
right now. We will take some calls at eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. But is it true that

(18:16):
an NFL player drafted in the top ten of this
year's draft the end of April was shocked to find
out the team he plays for now, the team that
drafted him in the top ten, does not actually play
in the city they claim to plan. Well, apparently that

(18:43):
is the case. A gentleman by the name of Evan Neil,
very generic name, Evan Neil. He was the seventh overall
pick in the NFL draft and he was selected in
the top ten. How exciting. Here the New York Giants said,
we want you, Alex. So you're gonna get paid a
lot of money and you're gonna get a starting opportunity.

(19:05):
It's so exciting. But here's the rest of the stories,
the late great radio legend of many years back, Paul
Harvey would say, the rest of the story. It turns
out this guy Neil did not know that the New
York Giants, even though they claimed to be in New
York or actually across the water there, and their home

(19:29):
stadium is in New Jersey, not New York, he was
oblivious to this. He said that the Giants he thought
he thought New York Giants, he thought they played in
New York. And he was confused by this geographical quagmire.

(19:51):
But you know he will not be confused by the
amount of money that he will get. And the New
York Giants, even though they've played in New Jersey. How
many years of the Giants and Jets played in New
Jersey at the Meadowlands, two different stadiums. It's going back
for how many What are we looking at now? Forty
plus years? Gotta be over forty years now, right, I

(20:13):
don't I don't have the when they opened up the
original stadium there. But anyway, it is like eight miles
from from Manhattan. So for those of you that are like, oh,
these guys, these college football they love the NFL. They
watch it. They obsessed with the NFL. If you've ever
watched the Giants or Jets game, they point out, Hey,

(20:33):
we're crossed away from Manhattan. We're you know, this far away.
Blah blah blah blah blah. We'll take a call here
eight seven seven ninety nine foxes away from my board
to be reset. You can also hit us up on
Twitter at Ben Maller if you would like to be
part of the festivities, and I don't forget over on
the Facebook page we do have we've opened up the

(20:56):
questions for this upcoming weekend's edition of The Fifth Hour Hillback,
So follow the show on Facebook and you can contribute
some content there on the Facebook page, which is Ben

I wasn't a rainy. Actually there was no rain out.
They played the game in the rain. Oh, by the way,

(21:37):
why did they do that? I mean they didn't need
to play the game in the rain. There's no need
to play The last time I checked, the White Sox
and Cubs are both in Chicago. They could have easily
made that game up down the line. It was like
the wind shows thirty degrees in raining the entire game.
It was like just a misty rain NonStop for the

(21:58):
whole game. Who is yeah? The team? I've never heard
of them? The White What? Yeah, it's it's some kind
of thing you wear on your foot. I don't know. Well,
congratulations do you beat up a happy team? Okay? Did

The Cups sucked. They're back to being the Cubs. A
couple of years they were in the playoffs and won
the World Series. Now they're back to be in the Cups.
These are the Cubs that I've had my entire life.
They stink and I'm not a Cub fan, but man,
are they bad brutal? At least there were some good

(23:10):
fights in the bleachers. I will I will concede that.
So late night drug tester Rights And says, is it
possible that the curse of the Bembino has hit the
pros of Wisconsin? The Bucks and Brewers have not won
since you left? Bonus points for losing to the Reds. Yeah,
if you lose to the Reds, that should be worth

(23:30):
two or three losses. If you lose to the Reds,
that that's like worth two or three doublow Mexican in
San Diego, Right, Sin says eight point seven on the
Malin monologue. These Celtics won because average Owl took it
personally when Jannis dunked on him and then turned into
angry all. Not only did Horford ball out, he even
returned the favor by dunking on He dunked on Yannis

(23:52):
and then he elbowed him, and that was that was
neat elbow right to the face of be honest at Nanta.
Coola's a little old school and I'm sure they're gonna
ban that now I do in baseball, they would ban that.

(25:15):
on Monday night football. That doesn't usually go well. Oh,
he has done better recently. I feel like the last

prime time, but he had that stretch where he was
abysmal in primetime games under the lights. At least the
weather will the second week of the season. The weather

(25:36):
were fine in Philadelphia. You're not gonna have bad weather there,
so I don't have to worry about that anyway. It
is the Ben Mallers Show. Do we have a cover
up in the NFL involving a traffic accident and Jerry Jones?
The story last week a Maller Show follow up. A

(25:59):
Maller Show follow up dateline Dallas, Jerry Jones involved in
a scary accident and new information coming out here the
police report, and of course some people value the police
report as the gospel. Other people value it as you know,
it's a debate fiction non fiction, how much of it

(26:19):
is fiction, how much of it is nonfiction. And Jerry Jones,
who's listed ages seventy nine, although his face is about twenty.
But Jerry was involved in an accident. This happened last Wednesday,
and he was driving driving around in a very expensive
sedan and driving at a high rate of speed and

(26:41):
a car in front of him. I was trying to
turn left and Jerry did not slow down at It's
just what it sounded like. Wow, just like that old
t bone Dava, Mexico. Jerry wishes he had been in

(27:02):
Mexico at the time of the accident. He did the
old John Shelby if you're it's an old baseball rivers
t bone they called it, and he t boned it
very hard. The silver car there side door smash smash, bam,
right there middle of the road. Oh my god, Jerry Jones.
It was recorded it was recorded, saying, well, the thing

(27:25):
was recorded, how could there possibly be any kind of disparity.
It's on video. Well, according to the Dallas Police Department,
the report that came out here, this is from NBC
five in Dallas, they say that the driver of the
silver car was what was he doing. He was working

(27:46):
and he was delivering some food for door dash and
that's when the accident occurred. So Jerry Jones slammed into
a guy delivering some hogies and the accident there. Now,
according to report, the guy told police that the investigators
that while driving southbound on Harry Hinds Boulevard, the delivery

(28:09):
driver realized that he needed to make a left turn
on too Wolf Street. Very familiar with that, so the
guy slowed down at the intersection. He came to an
almost to stop, and he then made what the police
say is an improper turn from the far right lane
and that put him in the path of Jerry Jones car,
according to the report. But here's where the conspiracy. Let

(28:32):
me put my tinfoil hat on here that in the
police report, it states all that they also point out
that the posted speed limit on that part of the
boulevard was thirty five miles an hour. However, no mention
of how fast Jerry Jones was driving that high end sedan.

(28:56):
And when he went some US cowboys boom boom Jerry
Jones went. So is it possible. I'm just saying that
Jerry Jones was going much faster than he allotted thirty
five miles an hour, and that's why they left it out,
went in doubt, leave it out looking out for Jerry.

(29:20):
Jerry very very kind sends a lot of money in
donates a lot of money. And so the conspiracy theorists
or having you feel it did look like he was
driving faster in the video clip. I was watching it.
I think we got I found audio. You have we
have audio. Let's call the auto tap here. We have audio. Yeah,

(29:41):
you just ruined the salmon. They're so perfectly good hoggies
in that car. You ruined the doggies. There's there's there's
meat flying everywhere. What are you doing? All are people have?
I wasn't here last week. We're people making age jokes
that Jerry's now too old to drive because he's seventy nine,

(30:04):
and they got to take the license away from Jerry. No,
I don't know all right, let's go to the phone
and we'll say hello to Andrea and our friend in Berkeley.
She is back with us here these sports sorcerers. Hello Andrea. Yeah,
welcome back. Then, thank you. It's good to be back. Yes,

(30:28):
and Mala Milicia missed you. How are your travels. I
had a fine time. I was at a big wedding
in North Carolina on Saturday, and I enjoyed East Coast time.
People complain because the games go late, but I was
at a wedding and I got back and there were
still sports going on, so I was happy about that.
I was like, this is cool because on the West

(30:49):
Coast you go to a wedding and you miss everything
because everything's going on on Saturday night. But on the
East Coast there's still stuff going on. So I went
back and we were watching all kinds of stuff. Was great. Yeah.
Time difference, right, yeah yeah yeah. No, perfect timing to
come back, I know, we discussed this, literally, been absolutely
perfect timing. Mercury retrogrades may tense to June third, Oh

(31:15):
that's today. Today is made tense. Oh no, but you
came back just in the nick of time, because you
really don't want to be traveling when Mercury's retrograde because
it might be more delays. Well, it's interesting you mentioned that, Andrey,
But I did have a little hiccup on my way back.
I can't get into that right now, but I will
get you know, at some point here. But I had

(31:37):
a little bump in the travel itinerary. Yeah, Well, Sunday,
we're in Mercury retro shade. You know, of course, right
before it goes retrograde, there's like a week period beforehand
and about two weeks after till it gets back to
full strength. So things start getting funky about a week
or so before, so it's not unusual you had a

(31:58):
bit of a hiccup because it's already starting to station retrograde.
But you're safe and sound, all right. Well, I'm back

Johnny Damon in twenty eight against the Red Sox as

this is one big ban gets real CooA Loo Dallas
mayor Eric Johnson tweeted out over the weekend that he
believes that his city is most deserving of an NFL

(36:08):
expansion team. He went on to put out a series
of tweets explaining why Dallas can handle two franchises. What
do you think, Ben, I think this is what's known
as wishful thinking. The NFL wants to expand to more
exotic locations. They've already conquered Dallas. They want Europe, they
want that European money. They'd also like to put a
team in Canada. They have some hush hush deal with

(36:31):
you know, the CFL, Allegedly. I heard years ago Jerry Jones.
He's got people say Jerry would sign off on this.
I say, now, he would hit this like he hit
that silver card delivering the Hogies next. John Harbaugh told
the media this weekend that he believes that there are
two schools that are built like NFL programs and therefore

They're in a class by themselves. Nick Saban gets every
five star recruit he wants, and so he's got a
thumb on the scale. Michigan is just brotherly love helping out.
Jim Harbaugh is you know, younger brother there. But there's

(37:14):
there's schools that are specialists, like Wisconsin and Iowa, schools
like that that are good at picking offensive lineent all right, next,

media that Zach Wilson has beefed up in a good way,
and he's obviously been hitting the weight room. But is
this something that for Jets fans to be excited about. No,

(37:36):
you're not in a weightlifting contest. And if Wilson plays well,
they'll credit this. If he plays like crap, they'll say
he's too strong, he worked out too much. How did
we do cool? Bloo? He passed. That's a winner at
the Buzzer first winning over a week
