Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our numb birth three. Our number
three is here and the Milwaukee Bucks are on life support.
How do you evaluate the Bucks' situation without Dame Lillard?
It seems like he's going to be out for a
long time with a major injury. Also, if dumped by

(00:22):
the Bucks, do you see Doc Rivers getting another coaching
gig in the NBA? And what is your Riakshawan to
Jaw Morant saying he had the thunder figured out and
that he if he hadn't gotten hurt, the series would
be tied up instead of a sweep in favor of Oklahoma.
We'll parse the words of Jah Morant. We'll get to

(00:43):
that and more right now here.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
It is our number three on this Monday, Indiana pacing
themselves as they eat all that delicious venison the roadkill.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Wel come in.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
The beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air everywhares we sculpt, our takes,
we do in our fuel by bad decisions, coast to coast,
border to border and beyond. On the vast and immensely
powerful microphones of fs are ammating live from the mouth

(01:29):
as we let our mouth do the talking from the
Fox Sports radio studios. I know Malibu Rubin supports that
he likes that our mouth does the talking. You were
hanging out together this portion of the Big overnight radio
show made possible by ti rak for over forty years.
That's a long time, Ferduck tells me, that's a long time.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Forty years.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Tire i Rak has been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast
and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tire rack dot com.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
The way tire buying show.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Would be so our lead this hour is from the
four to one four and that was the site of
Game number four between the Bucks and the Pacers. That
was the nightcap on a full day of playoff activity,
Milwaukee looking to even things up with Indiana trying to
be two to two in this series.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
And that was it.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Now.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
I don't if you saw the game or not.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Maybe you tuned out, you saw enough basketball during the day,
or you just turned off the TV all day.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I've known, well, we watch it's our good mitsch of
the day.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
We watched so you would not have to and how
did that turn out? Well, let's hear yet. Miles Turner
had twenty three points. Tyrese Haliburton, the most overrated player
in the NBA, as voted by his peers, the most
overrated player seventeen points, fifteen assists, and a partridge in

(03:00):
a paar tree and the Pacers in All you Can
Eat Buffe of Venison.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
They cream the Bucks one twenty nine.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
To one to OZHO three in the final and they
now are up three games to one, one win away
from advancing. The Indiana basketball team can eliminate the Milwaukee
basketball team in the first round for the second consecutive year,
and the game five will be on tomorrow Tomorrow night,
Tuesday night, Tuesday night in Indianapolis. Now, the better story

(03:30):
is in the losing locker room, and there's not much
to talk about from a strategic standpoint when the game
was as lopsided as this, So it's the subplot that
gets our attention. The Bucks, Yeah, they've lost eight straight
road playoff games, and the last five to Indiana, and
we'll get to that on Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
However, the subplot is the way to go.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Milwaukee lost guard Dame Lillard, Damian Lillard, to a lower
left leg injury. Lillard knocked out Dame time was helped
off the court a non contact injury he suffered their
midway through midway through the first quarter. The preliminary reports

(04:12):
coming out of Wisconsin are turnout the last the parties over. Yeah,
Pop goes the Achilles, unfortunately for Damian Lillard. So let
us discuss the question, how do you evaluate the buck
situation seemingly without Dame Lillard going forward and what this

(04:34):
all means in the big picture. So I've got National
Weather Service, traveling salesmen, and Kellogg's and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
have some delicious soul food. Now, we have a listener
who makes wonderful soul food in Milwaukee. He didn't call anymore,

(04:54):
but he said he still listens every once in a while.
I So, first of all, obviously this thing stinks. It's terrible.
People were asking did anyone pick Damian Lillard in the
NBA Basketball injury Bengo thing.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I have not checked. I don't know that he was picked.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
He was not even guaranteed to play in this particular postseason,
made the blood clot issue and he came back and
all that stuff. But hey, listen, we talked a lot
about dam Lillardover's career. Obviously, he's one of the better
players in the NBA. We enjoyed watching him when he
played with the Blazers, and never as good. He's only

(05:33):
been in Milwaukee, the Cream City there a short amount
of time, but never got to the level he was
at on the Oregon Trail, not even close. But in
terms of the big picture, like this is absolutely one
of those pivot points. You're at a fork in the
road if you're the Bucks, and if the initial reports

(05:54):
are true. In these non cocked non contact injuries are
almost always always shredded to kill it. Like I'm not
a doctor, I can play one on the radio, just
based on non contact injury lower leg injury.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Pop gozy Achalles.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
That's how it is. So it's a it's a GC situation,
game changer situation is what it is. And the National
Weather Service would issue a red flag warning for the
Bruce City. The wings of change are howling at this
particular point, your strong gusts of wind blowing through Wisconsin

(06:32):
and the sound you heard also was the window officially closing.
Now I would argue that the window for the Bucks
was closed the moment Doc Rivers walked in, that that
was it. That Nana, nana, nanna, hey, goodbye. When you
hired Doc Rivers, you're not really trying to win, you

(06:54):
just you're just not so the Bucks franchise, as the
late Kobe Bryant would say, flying through some dark clouds
right now. And Doc Rivers has a excuse. I know
he's not totally upset about this because he now has
an alibi when the Bucks lose. And well, if only
if some buts were candy and nuts, then we would
have won. If only only Dame Lillard stayed healthy, we

(07:17):
lost because of that. And he'll be decommissioned as the
coach or the Bucks. He'll be gone. Giannis Identakoombo is
going to be pressured to enter the portal, the transfer portal,
and you go somewhere else and start anew outside of
a Bucks uniform. And so expect the summer of the
Greek Freak that's coming to a radio show and a

(07:39):
podcast near you, The summer of the Greek Freak with rumors, daily,
daily rumors. Then he'll be headed here, there and everywhere.
Of course, all big markets, all big markets. You'll hear
Giannis loves the beautiful weather in Miami, but he has
a friend that lives in Brooklyn, and he's always liked
shopping on Rodeo Drive, and hear all that, all that stuff,

(08:02):
you're not going to hear Giannis really wants to play
in San Antonio because he loves tex mex You won't
be hearing that. Or his favorite state capital is Sacramento,
and he wants to play for the Kings. You will
not be hearing that, So we can promise you all
right now. Secondly, so Milwaukee, well they haven't even been
eliminated yet.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
That will happen on Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Already, there are odds out on where Doc Rivers will
be coaching next, and it's not Milwaukee. The offshore gambling
market has the Kings and Grizzlies as the betting favorite
at plus six point fifty, with the Denver Nuggets, Oh god.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
May they hired? May they hire Doc Rivers?

Speaker 1 (08:42):
The Denver Nuggets and the Suns also listed on the odds.
So question if dumped, and certainly looks like that's going
to happen, they'll say it's a mutual decision because Doc
doesn't want to coach there if they can't win, not
that they were gonna win anyway, so it'll be like
I want to go some else anyway. So question, if
dumped by the Milwaukee basketball team, do you see Doc

(09:07):
Rivers getting another opportunity in the NBA? And I'm nodding
my head yes. As a distant relative of Nostradamus and
friend of Nostradinas, I'm nodding my head yes. Why Doc
Rivers is the greatest traveling salesman in basketball now. The
product he sells is snake oil. People like buying snake oil.

(09:31):
They love the snake ole. Doc Rivers is a silver
tongued devil. Okay, he's a silver tongue devil. He's a
smooth talker, he's debonair. He is a charmer. And the
thing that Doc has been able to master is the
hardest part is getting the job. He's proven he can
get the job from Orlando to Boston, to the Clippers,

(09:52):
to the Sixers, the Bucks, all these jobs he's had
over the years. He gets into a room with an
owner and it's this Bengali effect. He puts them under
a spell, and he's he has to mesmerize these rich
people and they hire him right away. Since the Celtics
won what is the hardest championship of all time, the

(10:14):
Boston Celtics with Paul Pierce when they won the eight championship.
Since then, since twenty oh eight, in playoff games, Doc
Rivers is three games under five hundred his teams of
four to eighty nine winning percentage, and in playoff series
nine and thirteen, it's about to be nine and fourteen

(10:35):
after the Bucks will lose here. But that only tells
you part of the story. Now, for the rest of
the story is the late great radio man Paul Harvey
said back in his day, the rest of the story.
Doc Rivers is the worst big game coach in NBA history.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
That is not my opinion, that is a fact. What
is my evidence?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Doc Rivers teams have never won a game seven on
the road. Ever, Doc Rivers teams hold the NBA record
for the most game seven losses all time. But wait,
there's more. Doc Rivers teams are sixteen and thirty three
in games where they have three wins and a seven
game series sixteen and thirty three, an NBA record thirty

(11:18):
two losses in close out games in Doc Rivers' career,
thirty two thirty two losses in close out games. He's
lost seven series when leading three games to two and
twelve series when holding a series lead. Both of those
NBA records for futility. Doc Rivers, by the way, I'm
not done, only coach to blow three three to one

(11:42):
series leads. No one's come close to that. Doc is
at the very top. And the constant theme of Doc
Rivers coach teams, star players underachieving in big games, and
the common denominator is Doc Rivers the biggest stars he's coached.
He ruined the Lob City Clippers, one of the most
fun teams you could possibly have, and Doc rivers influence

(12:03):
the players underperformed, the Milwaukee Bucks, underperforming the Boston Celtics.
They won a championship, they still underperformed. The Philadelphia seventy
six ers with Joel Embat underperformed in big games. And
so here you go, all right now final, Fuck oh Oklahoma,
we go to Oklahoma City. Not Oklahoma City has advanced.

(12:23):
If you look at your big board, they have moved on.
Here at Thehoma City Thunder sweeping the Memphis Grizzlies in
the first round of the Western Conference playoff matchup. However,
a Jah Morant, he went into wild fantasy land. Ja

(12:44):
Morant believes it might have gone down differently had he
not left Game three with an injury. He missed Game
four also with a left hip bruise, and so he
missed a.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Part of game three in game four. So I don't
even saw this or not.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
But what is your reaction to Jahn Morant saying that
he had the thunder figured out? That was a quote
figured out, and had he not gotten hurt, the series
would be tied up to two? All right, So my reaction?

Speaker 3 (13:18):
What do you think?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
My reaction?

Speaker 3 (13:20):
I mean, you asked me a question like that. What
do you think I'm gonna say?

Speaker 1 (13:22):
John Moran is doing an impersonation of the Kellogg's Fruit
Loops mascot. He is parroting Jimmy Butler. Does that not
sound like Jimmy Butler? How about this one? John Morant
is saying that because he wants to be traded. That's
what got Jimmy Butler in hot water with pat Riley.
Remember last year the Miami Heat in the playoffs first

(13:45):
round series against Boston and it was a five gamer,
five gamer for the Celtics, and after that series was over,
Jimmy Bucket said, if I was playing, Boston would.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Be at home New York. Damn sure would be home
as well. He used to curse word as well.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
He said those comments led to the eventual divorce of
Jimmy Butler from Miami. So could it be that John
Morant said that as a way to upset someone, some
hardliner in memphisis front office to relocate to another destination.

(14:26):
Inquiring minds, we'd like to know, or is John Morant
just that of twos? That's another option. It is the
Ben Mahlord Show. You want to come in on any
of this, you can join us right now at eight

against you in the court of sports radio. Time out
for the Mallorridal Love Today and here's the Mallor riddle
of the day. Someone had their blank stolen at a

(15:13):
Podre game recently and people were passing it around and
chugging beer from it. Again, someone had their blank stolen
at a San Diego Padre game recently and people were
passing it around and chugging beer from it.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
That is the Mallar riddle of the day.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
The answer, We'll get to it, and we will do
it next.

Speaker 4 (15:39):

at Ben Mahler. That's at Ben Maller, alsoa FSR tech queen.
She was upset no boxes in the mail today, very

(16:09):
upset by that. I was upset. How did you know, Bill,
don't talk to me and Cooper Loop Ah Bronco fan.
That's a Bronco fan. Later this hour the Insta Advice Line,
but not back to Ben. All right and Bill, we

(16:29):
have the payoff on the Mallard Riddle of the day.
We'll get to that coming up here mole monetarily momentarily
before we pay off the Mallar Riddle of the day.
Joe Wright Sin says, I actually thought of you and
told my sis you would rip Doc Rivers after the game.
I think he will get fired. I would say you

(16:50):
said she thought I would think he would get fired.
I would say fifty to fifty. Well, Joe, whether they
say Doc Rivers is getting fired or not, he's not
going to go back. Dame Lillard a killes injury. He's
gonna be out all of next season, which is going
to lead the trickle down effect. You know how this
works that Janis will then end up being traded somewhere else,
so he'll be gone, and Doc Rivers like, I don't

(17:11):
want to coach a team with a bunch of stiffs,
and I'm out, And so he's not gonna be back,
whether they fire him or he says, I want to
spend more time with my family and leave. Chris writes
in he says he's a Detroit guy in Vegas. I
gotta say, Ben, I'm bitter, a bitter Pistons fan after
the referee debacle, but the winner of this series and

(17:35):
the Pacer Bucks series are going to be bride'smaids and
not brides, given the dominance of Cleveland and beingtown. However, Chris,
remember well that you assume that's true, and you know
how this, Well, you're in Vegas. I assume you gamble.
You're in Vegas. Why would you live in Vegas if
you don't gamble and you're from Detroit. But you get
in there if you're the Pistons, not that they're going

(17:58):
to come back and beat the Knicks, but if you
get into that second round and down the line you
play Cleveland and Boston and Jason Tatum steps on someone's
foot and twists and ankle or Donovan Mitchell for Cleveland,
all of a sudden you find yourself advancing. So you
got to be in there to have the change. I mean,
we've seen that. We've seen teams that advanced because of injury. Anyway,

(18:21):
here's the mallor riddle of the day. Someone had their
blank stolen at a padre game and people were passing
it around and chugging beer from it. It's the mallor
riddle of the day. Let's see, does anyone know the answer?

Their condom collection. Wow, condom collection. Okay, uh no, that
is incorrect. Someone had their shoe stolen.

Speaker 5 (21:17):
And people were drinking out of their shoes.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
So lucky and let the record show Larreeda that the
first person in this video clip that was sent to
me by a listener in San Diego was a woman
that drank out of the shoe.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
How about that.

Speaker 1 (21:33):

out of it. And then, of course after that, then
some drabroni, some dude, some dufists had to do it too,
so they passing around the upper upper deck there in
San Diego. I'm sure Coop has had nastier things in
his mouth.

Come on, okay, you don't know what a codpiece is?

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Do you? You have no idea what a copiece? Is
all right. Let's see, blind Scott knows what a codpiece
of Blind Scott. When you inform Loreena what a codpiece is,
will you let her know.

Speaker 7 (22:19):
I grew up on Cape cod. Uh. We're talking about
the codfish though that catch you the day.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
You don't even know what a you don't know what
a codpiece is.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
If you go to the ballet and the performers and
the men in the ballet, they wear a cod piece
to give the appearance that they have more more stuff,
shall we say.

Speaker 7 (22:40):
Yeah, stuff down there, Yeah, stuff like tissues down there
for bulge. So it's like a bulge. Bulges are beautiful actually,
and men men are very beautiful too. Sometimes in these
packages that have been coming, there's small packages and large packages.
I'm sending you a package at all, I'm thinking the
post office might be holding them like they're probably coming

(23:02):
later on. Today. Dude, Manuel was talking about to the
Last Tower between Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan's the reason
why he says, I mean, I mean, I could agree
with him, but he's remembering his childhood. This guy, he
can't be like. Magic Johnson was a lot better than
Lebron James. Magic Johnson couldn't you know, he didn't stay
healthy enough to play and it was terrible what happened.
But he couldn't even play in the NBA anymore. The guy,

(23:24):
how could he? How could he be better? In this
Teltics are just running through the league now, there's nothing
even going to be left to the NBA. Nobody cares
about Oklahoma City. There was a guy that called Jeffrey
that giraffe from Denver, Like, dude, Denver's gonna be knocked
out pretty soon too. Like the guy that called last hour,
he took he took his car apart. He couldn't call
for two months. His neighbors must be like, oh my god,

(23:48):
what is puppy doing. He's taking his whole car parts
in my front yard and what do do you go
like him? What did he go to car? Like jeff
do the guy starts working like I would kill that
guy if he was my neighbor. Like one other thing too,
like some of the people on the show, they've been
back to me, like supermarkets, Steve, and I'd like to
say like thank you to the guy. I had a

(24:08):
joke about what I was going to do.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
It is well, yeah, by Scott, why have you taken
over the show reddit page.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
What are you doing there?

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Well?

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Why are you doing that?

Speaker 1 (24:15):
People getting upset, They're complaining to me. They're very upset
with you. They say that I need to make make
some changes on that.

Speaker 7 (24:22):
I lost my pass for it, so I can't get
into reddit right now. All right to poach for like
a week and a half. But I'm getting a little
so not getting enough. Call to the radio, maybe not
on this stings, but I don't have any others. Nobody
will take my calls.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
I don't know why will no one else take your calls?
Let's see what we can figure out. Why will no
one else take blind Scott's phone calls? Let's see here,
why would that be?

Speaker 7 (24:44):
Nobody wants to because I need them to take more calls.
Like I didn't feel safe, like like after the last
couple of calls you took last hour, E Dog and Poppy,
like I might have to call the goods mending. And
it's important to me that I'm able to interact with
people socially. I had a really rough weekend. Somebody slammed
the door right into my face. They yelled, watch out
to open the door for me. I go into seven eleven.

(25:06):
I stand in the back for like twenty minutes. No
one helps me.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Both.

Speaker 7 (25:09):
It's like half the family of Bovi's Bakery, one of
the bakeres in the North End. They helped me, half
of them. But I go in there in this political
proces that's going on, they're not didn't understand.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
But I find I thought the guys at seven eleven
were your friends. I thought those are your your buddies.

Speaker 7 (25:22):
They want me to bring you in there?

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, well how come you know I've met you several times.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
You never brought me into the place.

Speaker 7 (25:29):
Why do you bring him in here? I go? He
shows up at like midnight.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
We had a mallardy seven eleven's open all night. Dude,
let me come on.

Speaker 7 (25:37):
No, no, only because Ben, Here's what happens after eleven.
It goes pandemonium around here between eleven and two. You
don't want to own a seven eleven and have it
open because people go in there and just whip it apart.
I'm reaching the there's a real thing, like people are
in suit. You're gonna put this nose smashed glass around
here too, because you could break people did bus right through.

(25:58):
They grab what faith?

Speaker 8 (26:00):
You know?

Speaker 3 (26:00):
These people are I feel like we're done. I feel
like we're done. I'm done with you.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Can I go?

Speaker 3 (26:04):
Can I go?

Speaker 1 (26:05):
No? Hey, okay, all right, there you go. Got Fred's
name in there. We'll check that Bengo box on the
Bengo card. There, Man, we have a fun fact. You
want to I got a fun fact.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
Hit the fun I got a fun fun fact.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
This is the show that puts the fun in fun
facts and the fun fact here. Congratulations to JJ Reddick.
He became the first coach in the play by play
era to play all five players for an entire half
during the playoffs. It had never happened. This goes back
the play by player started in the mid nineties, so

(26:40):
we're talking about a generation of basketball. No one had
