Speaker 1 (00:00):
Knock, knock, who's there? Well, that would be none other
than the gibber jabber of our number three, Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Lebron hit a game winner the other night for the
Lakers in Indiana, the Hoosier State now onto Illinois in Chicago,
and Lebron being called out, in particular getting roasted for
his play in a shocking final seconds loss.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Is that inbounds or out of bound? Says?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Lebron ends up losing a game the Lakers do to
the Chicago Bulls. Also, Adam Silver's complaints about the lack
of celebratory media coverage of the NBA Stars is blank.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
We'll we'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Also, seventy six Ers executive Darryl Morey says that the
amount of three point shooting is essentially breaking the game.
How does that one hit you? Yeah, one of the
forefathers of modern three point obsession is now saying it's
a bad thing. We'll get to that, and a whole
(01:09):
lot more right now, it's a wake up call. It's
our number three.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Now, that is a whole lot of bull No.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Really, it was wel come in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Amigos, as we are the sauce box coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and epically powerful
microphones of FSR emmundating live from the Cunival the Converse
Carnival as we are broadcasting line from the Tyraq dot
(01:53):
com studios.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Tyract dot com will help you get there.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
And unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. I think it was
Sports Plus that said he loved that number. Ten thousand
ti Raq dot com the way tire buying should be.
I think I think Sports Plus said that that's how
(02:18):
much the Dodgers will be charging for food. It'll be
ten thousand dollars per Dodger dog before long.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, all right, anyway, our lead this hour.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I can't believe I'm doing this. I wasn't planning on
doing this, but here we are. Pro bouncy ball now.
When I went to bed, I had it all mapped
out in my head. Mister Benny Blabermouth, I was like, Ah,
here's what we're gonna do. I know, the sweet sixteen's
going on. Something's gonna happen there. I'll be enthusiastic about
(02:48):
the Sweet sixteen. I said, Okay, opening day, I'm in.
I did not on my bingo card have NBA regular
season basketball.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
On my agenda. But here we are.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Here we are, and in order for me to talk
about a regular season NBA game, something ungodly has to happen,
something unimaginable has to happen.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And that happened. That thing happened.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
So I'm not sure if you were watching, you probably weren't.
I didn't even see this live. I did not watch
this live. I watched it about seventy five times after
the fact that if you saw the Chicago Bulls were
hosting the Los Angeles podcasters, the Purple and Gold podcasters,
(03:43):
And if you didn't see the end of this game,
this is one of the all time. I can't believe
what happened. How did that happen? That should not happen.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Well, what happened?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So Josh Giddy, you got to giddy with it. Josh
Giddy made a half court heave at the buzzer.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
He let it go. Red light goes.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Off, swish, swish, swish in the wildest finish of the
NBA season in years, and not just this year. And
the Chicago Bulls got a two point win. But that
doesn't even.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Tell the story. The story is how the Bulls got
to that point.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So the Bulls trailed by five points, right, they were
down by five points. It was one point fifteen to
one ten. There's twelve point six seconds left on the
scoreboard there in Chicago. So all the Lakers have to
do is just not foul, get the ball in bounds.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You're you're gonna win the game. And what happened next
is biblical.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
In nature, all right, So it's he started out rather benign,
a guy named Patrick Williams. What a what a tough name.
You get to the NBA. Your name's Patrick Williams. Take
a number from the Deli count. It's probably been seventy
five players with that a name like that anyway, So
Patrick Williams sits a three point shot.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So now it's one fifteen to one thirteen.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Okay, fine, So then Kobe White, after a Laker turnover,
Kobe White ends up hitting a three point shot and
wam bam, just like that.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
The Chicago Bulls are up by a.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Point They've gone from down five in the span of
six seconds, and now all of a sudden they are
They're up by one.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
So time out on the court.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And the podcaster draws up a play with his assistant
coach Lebron and Austin Reeves, not Luca, not Lebron, Austin
Reeves the Great White. He drives for a layup, and
the Lakers are up one seventeen to one six team
(06:07):
with three seconds to go in the game. The Bulls
are out of timeout, out of timeouts, so it's just
throwing in and as long as the Lakers try to
play a little defense impede the shot, you win the game.
And then Josh Getty knocks down the three point shot.
So let us discuss this. This is a growth opportunity.
(06:28):
Lebron James. Here's the question. Lebron James in particular, is
getting roasted for his play in the final seconds in
this inbounds?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Is this inbounds or out of ount?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
So Lebron James getting destroyed, getting absolutely destroyed for his
play in the final twelve seconds of this game. Is
it inbounds or out of bounds? So my views on this,
I've got resorts World barking, and labling. We'll combine all
(07:01):
of these things together and we are going to get
knee deep in the muck, is what we're going to do. So,
first of all, after a replay assist, after a replay assist,
we have determined the court of the Malard Militia courtesy
of replay assist in the Mallard Command.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Center, inbounds. It is inbounds.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Lebron James should get off the Pat McAfee show and
stop trying to mess with our former morning guy stephen A.
Smith and focus on basketball. My god, this wasn't a
specific suck. We thought it was an all encompassing type
of suck for Lebron.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It was wild.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
King James was caught loafing. He was loafing our our
our our yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Uh, visiting resort Shortsworld.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Lebron had a cocktail, was floating on the lazy river.
Now I'm going to try to describe to you why
if I was the Chicago Bulls, I would give Lebron
a game ball, because that is not possible. All those
circus shots by the Bulls don't matter if Lebron.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Doesn't help them out. He was like the sixth man.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
On the court as Lebron had not one not to
but I counted three game changing boners.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
For the Lakers. Now what are they all? Right? So
the number one, the first one, he was.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Tardy on defense, and he didn't even really try to
even pretend like he was guarding Patrick Williams, who went
over to the corner on the baseline across from the
bench and just stood there and set up. And then
the bulls passing the ball and Lebron came over. He
was late because he didn't even I guess he lost
(09:02):
track of Patrick Williams or was just lazy. And so, yeah, you, Lebron,
And so Williams hits this wide open shot funt.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
You're still up by two points.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You've got the ball, and what happened next is a felony.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's a capital charge.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Lebron inbounds the ball face of the NBA Lebron James buddy.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Of Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Pat McAfee gave him the hawk toy yesterday, the day
before this game, and I guess Lebron didn't have his
legs under him because Lebron went out there and he
inbounded the ball through a listless pass that was easily
intercepted by Josh Kitty, who then tossed the ball over
to Kobe White. He hit the three point shot. All
(09:45):
of a sudden, the Bulls have the lead. But wait,
there's more. So after the Lakers I mentioned the Lakers,
Austin Reeves hit a shot to give the podcasters the lead,
and with three seconds left, Josh Gitty. You know who
the closest defender to Josh Getty was at mid court
d N name name Ning Ning Lebron James game winner
(10:10):
Hail Mary by Josh Getty. This reminded me of a
play that many people have forgotten about because it's a
long time ago. The Stanford Band play The Stanford Band
play Cal Stanford and one of the great radio calls
of all time, the most amazing, sensational, traumatic, heartrending, exciting,
(10:34):
thrilling finish in recent NBA regular season play. And how
pathetic were the Lakers. They don't even try to play defense.
They are so screwed, they are so screwed.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
They're done. The Lakers are done.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Chicago shot and I'm not making this up, by the way,
in the fourth.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Quarter, what do you think Chicago shot from the floor?
How about seventy eight eight point nine percent from the floor.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, that is the Lakers saying, we don't give a
fly on f about playing defense. We want to go
out and join Chicago after the game. We're going to
save our energy for that seventy eight point nine percent
from the floor. They took fourteen to three point shots
in the fourth court of the Bulls and made eleven
of them. They shot seventy eight point six percent from downtown.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
The Lakers had an eighteen point lead in the fourth
quarter and gave it all back and were outscored by
Chicago forty four to twenty six in the final twelve minutes.
Absolutely insanity. Again, I would fire JJ Reddick right now.
I've been trying to tell you you're.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Not listening all right now.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Secondly, Adam Silver has entered the chat about our former
Fox Sports radio morning host who've got note ratings when
he worked here.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Steven A. Smith.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
There was a back and forth with Lebron James, and
a reporter asked Adam Silver his thoughts, because God knows,
we want to hear what Adam Silver has to say.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
That's called rock bottom.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
And Silver said, sometimes it seems that in other sports
that I'm a fan of, the commissioner said. And then
when I watch the coverage, particularly around the games, the
NBA commissioner said, it seems to be more celebratory.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
He said, seems to be more celebratory.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Close quote all right, So Adam Silver's complaints about the
lack of celebratory in quote, celebratory media coverage of the
NBA is blank. Again, Adam Silver's complaints about the lack
of celebratory media coverage of the NBA stars is blank.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So my word is misguided.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I know Adam Silver is from somewhere out in the cosmos,
but he is barking up the wrong tree here.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Read the room, mister commissioner.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
The NBA media coverage, whether you like the NBA or not,
is the gold standard. It is considered by those in
professional sports, the crown jewel of competitive professional sports, the
industrial complex of American sport.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
NBA media coverage is at the very top.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Everyone else is jealous of the NBA media coverage because
the NBA product is terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
And yet every TV.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Show and a lot of these radio shows like the
one you're listening to now talk about the NBA, and
they very rarely talk about games, they talk about the personalities,
and that is important, right, that rules the roost. They
don't do that about baseball players. In fact, rob Manfraud
the Commission of Major League Baseball has been so annoyed
(13:58):
he claimed by the lack of daily gossipy baseball coverage
that that was one of the factors they claimed for
opting out of the ESPN deal making other arrangements which
they haven't even made yet. You talk about wanting someone
(14:20):
to blow smoke, that would be that. Now, while the
volume is certainly higher in the NBA, nobody, nobody is
getting celebratory coverage. I have no idea what Adam Silver
is talking about. And the reason no one's getting celebratory
coverage is because it's a cruise. It's a snooze cruise.
(14:44):
It doesn't draw an audience. It's narrow casting, not broadcasting.
People are addicted to negative stories, human drama, conflict.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
That is what the consumer wants.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
And you say you don't and you say, oh, I
don't like that, blah blah. But yet the reason you
get to serve that is because you do like people
are addicted to those type of stories. There's something that
is primal about human nature. It goes back to the
days we lived in oceans, right, and the conflict, the chaos,
(15:25):
the bad vibrations, like moth to a flame. For example,
I'll give you two headlines. Headline number one, Everything is fine.
Headline number two, Sky is falling. Here's a video clip.
Which one are you clicking?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah? I know which one you're clicking? All right?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Final thought Quickly seventy six or GM. Darryl Moury speaking
at a Have the Nerds Ruin Basketball Conference at the
Sloan get Together in Boston. This is where all the
nerds get together and it's like nerd porn, and they
talk about ways to ruin sports. At the Sloan Conference,
(16:08):
they say, how can we screw up sports? So Darryl Mory,
he was considered a founding father of the Sloan geeked them.
He spoke at the conference, Have the Nerds Ruined Basketball?
And he dropped a hum dinger, a humdinger of a quote.
Darryl Mory ranted about the changing landscape in the NBA.
(16:32):
He said, quote the three pointer was added many years ago,
and it's worth fifty percent more than other shots the
six ers, GM asserted. He then pumped his chest out
and said that's simply too much. It essentially breaks the game.
He said, if the best players in the NBA are
(16:52):
taking wide open eight to fifteen foot shots, is worse
than heavily can tested off the dribble three balls.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
That is bad for the game. Darryl Moury announced, quote.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Continues, and I think it's the responsibility of the league
office to take a look at this because teams are
just going to optimize post quote. Okay, so quickly seventy
six Ers executive Daryl Morey, longtime NBA executive, saying the
amount of free point shooting is essentially breaking the game.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
How does that hit you? So it hits me like
a lab league?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Is this not doctor Frankenstein, Doctor Henry Frankenstein, brilliant but
obsessed science dude who creates a monster in his laboratory,
assembles the body, bringing it to life with different parts
and using electricity, and then things spiral out of control
because the creature turns out to be unpredictable, destructive, escaping
(18:02):
the lab and wrecking havoc on the n B A.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Come on, it's the basketball horror story.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Never forget you talk about HUTZBA Darryl Moury teaming up
with Mike D'Antoni and the Rockets. Everyone talks about Steph
Curry and Golden State with the Splash Brothers Klay Thompson,
but the Rockets with James Harden as the Star, but
Daryl Morey as the GM Mike D'Antoni, they were pioneers
(18:34):
of the three point shot early on. And now Mike
d'antoni's like, well, or Daryl Morey is like, well, we
got to do something about the league should do something
about this. Really, well, isn't that convenient? It is the
Ben Mahler Show, which is also convenient, And if you'd

Speaker 1 (21:52):
And here's the malor riddle of the day. A Japanese
newspaper company will publish newspaper advertisements that transform into blank.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
That is the question. What's the answer?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Robbie the Mariner fan said, Justin in Cincinnati's manifesto. Yeah,
I'm guessing Justin's already written a manifesto, he just hasn't
sent it out yet. Late Night drug Tester says joint
rolling papers is the answer. Ferg Dog says a tentacle monster.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Who else? Alf the Alien?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Ol Pinter says Dodgers stadium media credentials. Yes, for the
second consecutive year. Yours truly has not been allowed to
regularly cover the Dodgers because I don't work for a
Japanese radio station. It's pretty wild, but yeah, I don't
I don't know. I don't know what I did over there,
but man alive, pretty crazy?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
What else? I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
The show's actually broadcast on their own the station they
own in LA.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Milkman Mike in Colorado says it turns into a Japanese doll,
a certain type of Japanese doll, Ham warmers from King Rory.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Who else you have?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I forty Ian says an authentic Otani betting slip is
the answer.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Fudgie says sushi.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Who else do we have something to do with? Godzilla?
Godzilla's gizzard from jess End Junction JT the Wingman says,
A shopping cart on the loose bang cherry blossoms from
Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Godzilla guessed by Dante, Squatty potties
(23:39):
from Chris and Kent, Washington centerfolds from Steve the misplaced
San Diegan.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Who else you have?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Nature Boy answering the call to the whild says the
answer is it transforms into a defeated lebron That that
is the answer. Terry in England says, is it choke
hawk Tua by a podcaster?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Well, okay?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Pokemon cards from clam or Agami figure of hollering James
from Rob in Minnesota. Scrooge in the Bay Area says
delicious chow man is the answer.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Trucker Joe from the Highways and Byways.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Of North America says turns water into wine, water into wine.
And Mike the leprechaun who's usually number two uh says,
transforms into golden tickets. All right, now for the big
reveal to the malar riddle of the day. A Japanese
(24:43):
newspaper company publishing newspaper ads that transform into the answer.
Baseball equipment is the answer. Baseball equipment and normally we'd
hear the fanfare, and that's what we normally.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
We don't hear it normally now apparently not today. There
is okay, a little late, all right, why not? What
the hell? It must be a satellite hookup delay. That
must be the problem. Must be a satellite hook up.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
So it turns out that the newspaper a couple ads
and people watching baseball, of course very popular in Japan.
Twenty five million people watch the Dodgers and Cubs in
Japan and about seven watched.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Here in the States. And so you read the newspaper
and there's two things here, two things that it does.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
You can then roll up the newspaper ad when you're finished,
and it'll turn into a bat And then there's another
ad and it describes that you can roll this into
a ball. And so with those two advertisements you have
the worst ever bat ball combination in the history of baseball.
(25:56):
Just just absolutely terrible, just absolutely terrible.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Let's sallo to any medie miney mo uh. Let's go
to lakeem in Orlando.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
What's going on? LAKEIM? Welcome?
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Yes, Ben Mala, we are in the air everywhere.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
You know what, Steve? You don't like Steven A.
Speaker 4 (26:29):

Speaker 2 (26:35):
And yeah, Wobe.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Bryant is my god? What len should be the goad
to longevity? And Michael john and quit twice and.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
He didn't he didn't really fok twice.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I mean he got suspended for gambling and he had
to play baseball in Birmingham.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Oh, Ben, that's.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
He's going to ask use on that.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
That's really I think.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
I think that's you know, Ben Mala, I saw Kawhi
Leonard in McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
He would oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Now, now I hope stephen A comes over there and
punches you.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
How about that? I hope he comes.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Did you see did you see his form? Let's right? Like,
try let.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Me tell you about stephen A.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I He used to work here right back in the
day and I I ran into stephen A.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Smith.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Was it last year at Rob Parker's birthday party in Vegas?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I think it was he showed up late? Stephen A.
You want to take a guess, And he showed he had.
He had, he had an entourage. He had not.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
One, but two armed bodyguards with him. Now if a guy,
if a guy is a good boxer, do they need
two armed bodyguards with him? I mean, come on, what
is he the president of the United States? My god?
Speaker 4 (27:58):
What I think, Stephen Smith? Think of the cheetahs?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
All right, now you're coming around on me.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
But you didn't need to take a cheap shot Atkawhi Leonard.
That was uncalled for that.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
No, no, no, no, that's one of your favorite records.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
You love your clipoffs.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
But what clip was done?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
And they made the final four a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
They have more championships getting to the final four than
the Lakers recently.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
So more championships getting to the final four.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Celebrate who probably woke? It took two and a half hours.
Yet what I great?
Speaker 4 (28:40):
But he's not a really great coach? Left Tony Parker managed.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Norbally what well?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
But then then no coach is good because no one
ever wins without good players. All right, I gotta go
with the keeam, But thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
There you go. The team pouring it on there.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
And by the way, I haven't said anything because there's
nothing to say. There's no defending. I've been on point
yeah for once.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
You're You're right.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Lebron completely blew that game.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
It was awesome, wasn't it great? The inbounds pass? You
know what?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
It reminded me of I'm gonna date myself. But there
was a player on the Clippers years ago named but
Nooight Benjamin and he used to do that same thing,
that lazy inbounds pass and oh, like.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Lebron, what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Like, I'm not gonna even fault him for the first
three point shot, but after that, oh my god. Let's
go to Mike in southern California hanging out west of
the four h five there in the South Bay and
Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
What's going on, Mike? Welcome, tib Meller man.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
You Clipper fans just get off on the Laman's things. Hey,
give it to the bulls, that giddy you have Lebron
a couple of letdowns there, and Getty made an incredible
shot to win it. A you win something you lose
on Lebron made the incredible play last night to win
a tipping, and tonight day they went.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
To bulls Way.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
But here's the bottom line. Lakers are ramdling into portrait form.
Lebron's back, Luca's starting to get a little more comfortable,
Austin Reeves is playing the lead. Finally got Vanderbilt back,
and now the guys are really round in the form. Meanwhile,
your Clippers playing good ball. Give them some credit, hard
and actually showing up in the regular season. We know
that's gonna change in the playoffs when he chokes Kawhi Leonard.
(30:12):
Surprisingly he's playing games. But here's the bottom line. You
guys are gonna be out in the first round. You're
gonna get dismantled. You're probably gonna play Denver, it looks
like in the first round, and that's gonna be a
terrible match for y'all. Meanwhile, the Lakers are on the
perfect spot, stay in the fourth seat. What they get
they played Memphis.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
The good thing about this is you you don't don't
You don't actually believe anything. You don't believe anything you're saying.
The Lakers are falling apart. Everyone's laughing at the Lakers
right now. You are delusional, You are detached from reality.
Because you're see no evil, hear no evil speaking no evil? You,
I mean this must be are you?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Are you?
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Like?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Is this a fake phone call? Is this a phony
phone call?
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Like?
Speaker 2 (30:50):
This must be a fake phone just got swept, gonna
play the Chicago Bulls?
Speaker 6 (30:56):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
You got the Chicago Bulls. Hey, And you're calling a
radio show to say the Lakers are doing great.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
It's a different, different ball game when you got to
deal with the Lakers in a playoff series and we
know Lebron really ramps it up.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Lucas, Yeah, Luca, of course he's lost multiple times, multiple
times and the Clippers in the playoffs, Luka, doncake, I mean,
he's a great playoff.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Perform No waiting now, okay, season, they don't fear, Okay,
see anybody outside, Why.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Would anyone fear?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Why would anybody the Lakers get afraid when they can't
beat the Chicago Bulls for God's sakes.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
Meanwhile, your Clippers are going to be one and done
once again. And you, meanwhile, you.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Could not be more wrong. You couldn't, You could not
be more wrong.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
He's spot on, and he's about to win the m
v P. She is gonna win the m v P.
And you guys have nothing to show up for that
Smith Kawhi nothing but stealing money from you guys for
for five years now. He's done absolutely.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Nothing for you.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
Meanwhile, the Lakers are rolling. They got the best franchise future.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Again you keep saying the Lakers are rolling. I like
this guy. I like this guy. You're you got a
golden ticket, Mike, you don't get it.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Only compliment give the Clippers is they have a nice
arena into a spectacular that's.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Lakers play on skid row, which we all know, but
that is that is the wild. How about you take
a breath.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I'm done with you. You won't stop hanging up with
that guy. I'm done with that guy.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Here's the thing though, Like this is what I'm talking about.
The historians, these these people, it's a it's a sub breed.
They're like lizard people. Uh So, the Lakers have now lost.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Let me do the math on this. They've lost four
or five.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
They lost to the Orlando Magic, the Chicago Bulls twice,
barely beat the Indiana Pacers, not a not a great team. Also,
within the last about ten days, they lost to the
Denver Nuggets, the Brooklyn Nets.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
They've had multiple.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Three game or better losing streaks over the last two weeks.
The team's falling apart. They're not playing any defense. And
that guy is mister sunshine over there, mister everything's great.
Nothing to see here, my guy, all right, thank you
for that? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
So there you go.

That's suffer Todd Server, Todd the comedian, Why did you

He got a job at his local Florida tractor supply store?
Speaker 2 (38:55):

Speaker 5 (38:57):
He will be the manager of the weed and feed department.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
From Penny bright Side.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
All right, not me, but Benny Brightside Jr. What is
the good, the bad, and the ugly about weed Man?
Speaker 6 (39:10):
What?
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Well? The bad? There is no no good. The good,
there is no bad. He's just ugly. That's Noah in Austin.
Did you hear that? Let's here, did you hear Noah
in Austin has made the first weed Man action figure.
Speaker 4 (39:29):
No, wow, that's great.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Yeah, it comes with three phrases, I love you, make
me laugh and saying me money.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Those are the three phrases there. It is Noah in Austin.
Thank you weed Man.
Knock, knock, who's there? Well, that would be none other
than the gibber jabber of our number three, Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Lebron hit a game winner the other night for the
Lakers in Indiana, the Hoosier State now onto Illinois in Chicago,
and Lebron being called out, in particular getting roasted for
his play in a shocking final seconds loss.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Is that inbounds or out of bound? Says?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Lebron ends up losing a game the Lakers do to
the Chicago Bulls. Also, Adam Silver's complaints about the lack
of celebratory media coverage of the NBA Stars is blank.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
We'll we'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Also, seventy six Ers executive Darryl Morey says that the
amount of three point shooting is essentially breaking the game.
How does that one hit you? Yeah, one of the
forefathers of modern three point obsession is now saying it's
a bad thing. We'll get to that, and a whole
(01:09):
lot more right now, it's a wake up call. It's
our number three.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Now, that is a whole lot of bull No.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Really, it was wel come in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Amigos, as we are the sauce box coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and epically powerful
microphones of FSR emmundating live from the Cunival the Converse
Carnival as we are broadcasting line from the Tyraq dot
(01:53):
com studios.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Tyract dot com will help you get there.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
And unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. I think it was
Sports Plus that said he loved that number. Ten thousand
ti Raq dot com the way tire buying should be.
I think I think Sports Plus said that that's how
(02:18):
much the Dodgers will be charging for food. It'll be
ten thousand dollars per Dodger dog before long.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, all right, anyway, our lead this hour.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I can't believe I'm doing this. I wasn't planning on
doing this, but here we are. Pro bouncy ball now.
When I went to bed, I had it all mapped
out in my head. Mister Benny Blabermouth, I was like, Ah,
here's what we're gonna do. I know, the sweet sixteen's
going on. Something's gonna happen there. I'll be enthusiastic about
(02:48):
the Sweet sixteen. I said, Okay, opening day, I'm in.
I did not on my bingo card have NBA regular
season basketball.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
On my agenda. But here we are.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Here we are, and in order for me to talk
about a regular season NBA game, something ungodly has to happen,
something unimaginable has to happen.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And that happened. That thing happened.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
So I'm not sure if you were watching, you probably weren't.
I didn't even see this live. I did not watch
this live. I watched it about seventy five times after
the fact that if you saw the Chicago Bulls were
hosting the Los Angeles podcasters, the Purple and Gold podcasters,
(03:43):
And if you didn't see the end of this game,
this is one of the all time. I can't believe
what happened. How did that happen? That should not happen.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Well, what happened?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So Josh Giddy, you got to giddy with it. Josh
Giddy made a half court heave at the buzzer.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
He let it go. Red light goes.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Off, swish, swish, swish in the wildest finish of the
NBA season in years, and not just this year. And
the Chicago Bulls got a two point win. But that
doesn't even.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Tell the story. The story is how the Bulls got
to that point.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So the Bulls trailed by five points, right, they were
down by five points. It was one point fifteen to
one ten. There's twelve point six seconds left on the
scoreboard there in Chicago. So all the Lakers have to
do is just not foul, get the ball in bounds.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
You're you're gonna win the game. And what happened next
is biblical.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
In nature, all right, So it's he started out rather benign,
a guy named Patrick Williams. What a what a tough name.
You get to the NBA. Your name's Patrick Williams. Take
a number from the Deli count. It's probably been seventy
five players with that a name like that anyway, So
Patrick Williams sits a three point shot.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So now it's one fifteen to one thirteen.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Okay, fine, So then Kobe White, after a Laker turnover,
Kobe White ends up hitting a three point shot and
wam bam, just like that.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
The Chicago Bulls are up by a.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Point They've gone from down five in the span of
six seconds, and now all of a sudden they are
They're up by one.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
So time out on the court.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And the podcaster draws up a play with his assistant
coach Lebron and Austin Reeves, not Luca, not Lebron, Austin
Reeves the Great White. He drives for a layup, and
the Lakers are up one seventeen to one six team
(06:07):
with three seconds to go in the game. The Bulls
are out of timeout, out of timeouts, so it's just
throwing in and as long as the Lakers try to
play a little defense impede the shot, you win the game.
And then Josh Getty knocks down the three point shot.
So let us discuss this. This is a growth opportunity.
(06:28):
Lebron James. Here's the question. Lebron James in particular, is
getting roasted for his play in the final seconds in
this inbounds?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Is this inbounds or out of ount?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
So Lebron James getting destroyed, getting absolutely destroyed for his
play in the final twelve seconds of this game. Is
it inbounds or out of bounds? So my views on this,
I've got resorts World barking, and labling. We'll combine all
(07:01):
of these things together and we are going to get
knee deep in the muck, is what we're going to do. So,
first of all, after a replay assist, after a replay assist,
we have determined the court of the Malard Militia courtesy
of replay assist in the Mallard Command.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Center, inbounds. It is inbounds.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Lebron James should get off the Pat McAfee show and
stop trying to mess with our former morning guy stephen A.
Smith and focus on basketball. My god, this wasn't a
specific suck. We thought it was an all encompassing type
of suck for Lebron.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It was wild.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
King James was caught loafing. He was loafing our our
our our yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Uh, visiting resort Shortsworld.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Lebron had a cocktail, was floating on the lazy river.
Now I'm going to try to describe to you why
if I was the Chicago Bulls, I would give Lebron
a game ball, because that is not possible. All those
circus shots by the Bulls don't matter if Lebron.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Doesn't help them out. He was like the sixth man.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
On the court as Lebron had not one not to
but I counted three game changing boners.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
For the Lakers. Now what are they all? Right? So
the number one, the first one, he was.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Tardy on defense, and he didn't even really try to
even pretend like he was guarding Patrick Williams, who went
over to the corner on the baseline across from the
bench and just stood there and set up. And then
the bulls passing the ball and Lebron came over. He
was late because he didn't even I guess he lost
(09:02):
track of Patrick Williams or was just lazy. And so, yeah, you, Lebron,
And so Williams hits this wide open shot funt.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
You're still up by two points.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You've got the ball, and what happened next is a felony.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's a capital charge.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Lebron inbounds the ball face of the NBA Lebron James buddy.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Of Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Pat McAfee gave him the hawk toy yesterday, the day
before this game, and I guess Lebron didn't have his
legs under him because Lebron went out there and he
inbounded the ball through a listless pass that was easily
intercepted by Josh Kitty, who then tossed the ball over
to Kobe White. He hit the three point shot. All
(09:45):
of a sudden, the Bulls have the lead. But wait,
there's more. So after the Lakers I mentioned the Lakers,
Austin Reeves hit a shot to give the podcasters the lead,
and with three seconds left, Josh Gitty. You know who
the closest defender to Josh Getty was at mid court
d N name name Ning Ning Lebron James game winner
(10:10):
Hail Mary by Josh Getty. This reminded me of a
play that many people have forgotten about because it's a
long time ago. The Stanford Band play The Stanford Band
play Cal Stanford and one of the great radio calls
of all time, the most amazing, sensational, traumatic, heartrending, exciting,
(10:34):
thrilling finish in recent NBA regular season play. And how
pathetic were the Lakers. They don't even try to play defense.
They are so screwed, they are so screwed.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
They're done. The Lakers are done.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Chicago shot and I'm not making this up, by the way,
in the fourth.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Quarter, what do you think Chicago shot from the floor?
How about seventy eight eight point nine percent from the floor.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, that is the Lakers saying, we don't give a
fly on f about playing defense. We want to go
out and join Chicago after the game. We're going to
save our energy for that seventy eight point nine percent
from the floor. They took fourteen to three point shots
in the fourth court of the Bulls and made eleven
of them. They shot seventy eight point six percent from downtown.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
The Lakers had an eighteen point lead in the fourth
quarter and gave it all back and were outscored by
Chicago forty four to twenty six in the final twelve minutes.
Absolutely insanity. Again, I would fire JJ Reddick right now.
I've been trying to tell you you're.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Not listening all right now.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Secondly, Adam Silver has entered the chat about our former
Fox Sports radio morning host who've got note ratings when
he worked here.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Steven A. Smith.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
There was a back and forth with Lebron James, and
a reporter asked Adam Silver his thoughts, because God knows,
we want to hear what Adam Silver has to say.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
That's called rock bottom.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
And Silver said, sometimes it seems that in other sports
that I'm a fan of, the commissioner said. And then
when I watch the coverage, particularly around the games, the
NBA commissioner said, it seems to be more celebratory.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
He said, seems to be more celebratory.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Close quote all right, So Adam Silver's complaints about the
lack of celebratory in quote, celebratory media coverage of the
NBA is blank. Again, Adam Silver's complaints about the lack
of celebratory media coverage of the NBA stars is blank.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So my word is misguided.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I know Adam Silver is from somewhere out in the cosmos,
but he is barking up the wrong tree here.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Read the room, mister commissioner.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
The NBA media coverage, whether you like the NBA or not,
is the gold standard. It is considered by those in
professional sports, the crown jewel of competitive professional sports, the
industrial complex of American sport.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
NBA media coverage is at the very top.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Everyone else is jealous of the NBA media coverage because
the NBA product is terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
And yet every TV.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Show and a lot of these radio shows like the
one you're listening to now talk about the NBA, and
they very rarely talk about games, they talk about the personalities,
and that is important, right, that rules the roost. They
don't do that about baseball players. In fact, rob Manfraud
the Commission of Major League Baseball has been so annoyed
(13:58):
he claimed by the lack of daily gossipy baseball coverage
that that was one of the factors they claimed for
opting out of the ESPN deal making other arrangements which
they haven't even made yet. You talk about wanting someone
(14:20):
to blow smoke, that would be that. Now, while the
volume is certainly higher in the NBA, nobody, nobody is
getting celebratory coverage. I have no idea what Adam Silver
is talking about. And the reason no one's getting celebratory
coverage is because it's a cruise. It's a snooze cruise.
(14:44):
It doesn't draw an audience. It's narrow casting, not broadcasting.
People are addicted to negative stories, human drama, conflict.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
That is what the consumer wants.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
And you say you don't and you say, oh, I
don't like that, blah blah. But yet the reason you
get to serve that is because you do like people
are addicted to those type of stories. There's something that
is primal about human nature. It goes back to the
days we lived in oceans, right, and the conflict, the chaos,
(15:25):
the bad vibrations, like moth to a flame. For example,
I'll give you two headlines. Headline number one, Everything is fine.
Headline number two, Sky is falling. Here's a video clip.
Which one are you clicking?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah? I know which one you're clicking? All right?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Final thought Quickly seventy six or GM. Darryl Moury speaking
at a Have the Nerds Ruin Basketball Conference at the
Sloan get Together in Boston. This is where all the
nerds get together and it's like nerd porn, and they
talk about ways to ruin sports. At the Sloan Conference,
(16:08):
they say, how can we screw up sports? So Darryl Mory,
he was considered a founding father of the Sloan geeked them.
He spoke at the conference, Have the Nerds Ruined Basketball?
And he dropped a hum dinger, a humdinger of a quote.
Darryl Mory ranted about the changing landscape in the NBA.
(16:32):
He said, quote the three pointer was added many years ago,
and it's worth fifty percent more than other shots the
six ers, GM asserted. He then pumped his chest out
and said that's simply too much. It essentially breaks the game.
He said, if the best players in the NBA are
(16:52):
taking wide open eight to fifteen foot shots, is worse
than heavily can tested off the dribble three balls.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
That is bad for the game. Darryl Moury announced, quote.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Continues, and I think it's the responsibility of the league
office to take a look at this because teams are
just going to optimize post quote. Okay, so quickly seventy
six Ers executive Daryl Morey, longtime NBA executive, saying the
amount of free point shooting is essentially breaking the game.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
How does that hit you? So it hits me like
a lab league?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Is this not doctor Frankenstein, Doctor Henry Frankenstein, brilliant but
obsessed science dude who creates a monster in his laboratory,
assembles the body, bringing it to life with different parts
and using electricity, and then things spiral out of control
because the creature turns out to be unpredictable, destructive, escaping
(18:02):
the lab and wrecking havoc on the n B A.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Come on, it's the basketball horror story.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Never forget you talk about HUTZBA Darryl Moury teaming up
with Mike D'Antoni and the Rockets. Everyone talks about Steph
Curry and Golden State with the Splash Brothers Klay Thompson,
but the Rockets with James Harden as the Star, but
Daryl Morey as the GM Mike D'Antoni, they were pioneers
(18:34):
of the three point shot early on. And now Mike
d'antoni's like, well, or Daryl Morey is like, well, we
got to do something about the league should do something
about this. Really, well, isn't that convenient? It is the
Ben Mahler Show, which is also convenient, And if you'd

Speaker 1 (21:52):
And here's the malor riddle of the day. A Japanese
newspaper company will publish newspaper advertisements that transform into blank.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
That is the question. What's the answer?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Robbie the Mariner fan said, Justin in Cincinnati's manifesto. Yeah,
I'm guessing Justin's already written a manifesto, he just hasn't
sent it out yet. Late Night drug Tester says joint
rolling papers is the answer. Ferg Dog says a tentacle monster.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Who else? Alf the Alien?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Ol Pinter says Dodgers stadium media credentials. Yes, for the
second consecutive year. Yours truly has not been allowed to
regularly cover the Dodgers because I don't work for a
Japanese radio station. It's pretty wild, but yeah, I don't
I don't know. I don't know what I did over there,
but man alive, pretty crazy?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
What else? I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
The show's actually broadcast on their own the station they
own in LA.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Milkman Mike in Colorado says it turns into a Japanese doll,
a certain type of Japanese doll, Ham warmers from King Rory.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Who else you have?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I forty Ian says an authentic Otani betting slip is
the answer.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Fudgie says sushi.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Who else do we have something to do with? Godzilla?
Godzilla's gizzard from jess End Junction JT the Wingman says,
A shopping cart on the loose bang cherry blossoms from
Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Godzilla guessed by Dante, Squatty potties
(23:39):
from Chris and Kent, Washington centerfolds from Steve the misplaced
San Diegan.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Who else you have?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Nature Boy answering the call to the whild says the
answer is it transforms into a defeated lebron That that
is the answer. Terry in England says, is it choke
hawk Tua by a podcaster?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Well, okay?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Pokemon cards from clam or Agami figure of hollering James
from Rob in Minnesota. Scrooge in the Bay Area says
delicious chow man is the answer.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Trucker Joe from the Highways and Byways.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Of North America says turns water into wine, water into wine.
And Mike the leprechaun who's usually number two uh says,
transforms into golden tickets. All right, now for the big
reveal to the malar riddle of the day. A Japanese
(24:43):
newspaper company publishing newspaper ads that transform into the answer.
Baseball equipment is the answer. Baseball equipment and normally we'd
hear the fanfare, and that's what we normally.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
We don't hear it normally now apparently not today. There
is okay, a little late, all right, why not? What
the hell? It must be a satellite hookup delay. That
must be the problem. Must be a satellite hook up.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
So it turns out that the newspaper a couple ads
and people watching baseball, of course very popular in Japan.
Twenty five million people watch the Dodgers and Cubs in
Japan and about seven watched.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Here in the States. And so you read the newspaper
and there's two things here, two things that it does.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
You can then roll up the newspaper ad when you're finished,
and it'll turn into a bat And then there's another
ad and it describes that you can roll this into
a ball. And so with those two advertisements you have
the worst ever bat ball combination in the history of baseball.
(25:56):
Just just absolutely terrible, just absolutely terrible.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Let's sallo to any medie miney mo uh. Let's go
to lakeem in Orlando.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
What's going on? LAKEIM? Welcome?
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Yes, Ben Mala, we are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
That's right, man, we are everywhere, even places we don't
want to be.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
That's where we are laking. We're everywhere.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
It's being on the phone with you. But do you
know Steve and As Smith. He's such a fraud.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
You know what, Steve? You don't like Steven A.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
No, No, I'm being objective. Nothing he said is objective.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
And yeah, Wobe.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Bryant is my god? What len should be the goad
to longevity? And Michael john and quit twice and.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
He didn't he didn't really fok twice.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I mean he got suspended for gambling and he had
to play baseball in Birmingham.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Oh, Ben, that's.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
He's going to ask use on that.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
That's really I think.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
I think that's you know, Ben Mala, I saw Kawhi
Leonard in McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
He would oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Now, now I hope stephen A comes over there and
punches you.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
How about that? I hope he comes.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Did you see did you see his form? Let's right? Like,
try let.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Me tell you about stephen A.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I He used to work here right back in the
day and I I ran into stephen A.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Smith.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Was it last year at Rob Parker's birthday party in Vegas?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I think it was he showed up late? Stephen A.
You want to take a guess, And he showed he had.
He had, he had an entourage. He had not.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
One, but two armed bodyguards with him. Now if a guy,
if a guy is a good boxer, do they need
two armed bodyguards with him? I mean, come on, what
is he the president of the United States? My god?
Speaker 4 (27:58):
What I think, Stephen Smith? Think of the cheetahs?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
All right, now you're coming around on me.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
But you didn't need to take a cheap shot Atkawhi Leonard.
That was uncalled for that.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
No, no, no, no, that's one of your favorite records.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
You love your clipoffs.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
But what clip was done?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
And they made the final four a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
They have more championships getting to the final four than
the Lakers recently.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
So more championships getting to the final four.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Celebrate who probably woke? It took two and a half hours.
Yet what I great?
Speaker 4 (28:40):
But he's not a really great coach? Left Tony Parker managed.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Norbally what well?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
But then then no coach is good because no one
ever wins without good players. All right, I gotta go
with the keeam, But thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
There you go. The team pouring it on there.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
And by the way, I haven't said anything because there's
nothing to say. There's no defending. I've been on point
yeah for once.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
You're You're right.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Lebron completely blew that game.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
It was awesome, wasn't it great? The inbounds pass? You
know what?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
It reminded me of I'm gonna date myself. But there
was a player on the Clippers years ago named but
Nooight Benjamin and he used to do that same thing,
that lazy inbounds pass and oh, like.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Lebron, what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Like, I'm not gonna even fault him for the first
three point shot, but after that, oh my god. Let's
go to Mike in southern California hanging out west of
the four h five there in the South Bay and
Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
What's going on, Mike? Welcome, tib Meller man.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
You Clipper fans just get off on the Laman's things. Hey,
give it to the bulls, that giddy you have Lebron
a couple of letdowns there, and Getty made an incredible
shot to win it. A you win something you lose
on Lebron made the incredible play last night to win
a tipping, and tonight day they went.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
To bulls Way.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
But here's the bottom line. Lakers are ramdling into portrait form.
Lebron's back, Luca's starting to get a little more comfortable,
Austin Reeves is playing the lead. Finally got Vanderbilt back,
and now the guys are really round in the form. Meanwhile,
your Clippers playing good ball. Give them some credit, hard
and actually showing up in the regular season. We know
that's gonna change in the playoffs when he chokes Kawhi Leonard.
(30:12):
Surprisingly he's playing games. But here's the bottom line. You
guys are gonna be out in the first round. You're
gonna get dismantled. You're probably gonna play Denver, it looks
like in the first round, and that's gonna be a
terrible match for y'all. Meanwhile, the Lakers are on the
perfect spot, stay in the fourth seat. What they get
they played Memphis.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
The good thing about this is you you don't don't
You don't actually believe anything. You don't believe anything you're saying.
The Lakers are falling apart. Everyone's laughing at the Lakers
right now. You are delusional, You are detached from reality.
Because you're see no evil, hear no evil speaking no evil? You,
I mean this must be are you?
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Are you?
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Like?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Is this a fake phone call? Is this a phony
phone call?
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Like?
Speaker 2 (30:50):
This must be a fake phone just got swept, gonna
play the Chicago Bulls?
Speaker 6 (30:56):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
You got the Chicago Bulls. Hey, And you're calling a
radio show to say the Lakers are doing great.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
It's a different, different ball game when you got to
deal with the Lakers in a playoff series and we
know Lebron really ramps it up.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Lucas, Yeah, Luca, of course he's lost multiple times, multiple
times and the Clippers in the playoffs, Luka, doncake, I mean,
he's a great playoff.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Perform No waiting now, okay, season, they don't fear, Okay,
see anybody outside, Why.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Would anyone fear?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Why would anybody the Lakers get afraid when they can't
beat the Chicago Bulls for God's sakes.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
Meanwhile, your Clippers are going to be one and done
once again. And you, meanwhile, you.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Could not be more wrong. You couldn't, You could not
be more wrong.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
He's spot on, and he's about to win the m
v P. She is gonna win the m v P.
And you guys have nothing to show up for that
Smith Kawhi nothing but stealing money from you guys for
for five years now. He's done absolutely.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Nothing for you.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
Meanwhile, the Lakers are rolling. They got the best franchise future.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Again you keep saying the Lakers are rolling. I like
this guy. I like this guy. You're you got a
golden ticket, Mike, you don't get it.
Speaker 6 (31:59):
Only compliment give the Clippers is they have a nice
arena into a spectacular that's.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Lakers play on skid row, which we all know, but
that is that is the wild. How about you take
a breath.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I'm done with you. You won't stop hanging up with
that guy. I'm done with that guy.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Here's the thing though, Like this is what I'm talking about.
The historians, these these people, it's a it's a sub breed.
They're like lizard people. Uh So, the Lakers have now lost.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Let me do the math on this. They've lost four
or five.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
They lost to the Orlando Magic, the Chicago Bulls twice,
barely beat the Indiana Pacers, not a not a great team. Also,
within the last about ten days, they lost to the
Denver Nuggets, the Brooklyn Nets.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
They've had multiple.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Three game or better losing streaks over the last two weeks.
The team's falling apart. They're not playing any defense. And
that guy is mister sunshine over there, mister everything's great.
Nothing to see here, my guy, all right, thank you
for that? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Why?
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Well, apparently, uh well she is not.

than genders.
