the day game four Rockets Warriors came down to the
(00:52):
final seconds last night sounded like this and the Warriors
radio network maam lead up.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
A far sideline takes the heave at b are. It's
so good, It's so good for Warriors.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Hang on final score Colan State one oh nine, Houston
one oh six.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
How the Warriors have taken a command of three games.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
To one lead.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Listen it was a fantasticating the possession before Shane guid
had had a turnaround shot and he missed it. I
thought the key to that one. Well, actually, here's Steve Kerr,
Draymond Green's head coach, talking about Greens defense on that
last play.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
When a team win the game on the line, decides
to post up Draymond, and you're watching it, like, how
on the scale of one to one hundred, how good
do you feel about your chances in that situation?
Speaker 6 (01:40):
One being great or one hundred being great.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
One hundred being great, one.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Hundred and that's I feel like one hundred.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
I mean, he's the best defender I've ever seen my life,
and he rises to the occasion. You know, on top
of being a great defender, he's an incredible competitor. And
so anytime, and we've seen I've seen it for eleven years,
game on the line, Draymond making a stop, it's like
(02:05):
Kevin Steph Curry take the shot.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, I thought, you know, Houston went to their best
interior post scorer, and that's the strength of their offense.
But it's also the strength of Golden State's defense and
the reason that Golden State has been able to play
small ball. Is that play alone that on the micro
is golden state. On the macro okay, And we as
(02:34):
we try and evolve as a basketball program. I've recruited
a player, signed a player who different than Draymond, but
my goal is for him to have that effect. I
signed a player Shelton Williams Dryden. He played last year
at West Georgia. I think he's a small ball five
and he's six foot six with long arms, like a
(02:56):
seven foot wingspan. And my goal is to get it
to where he can guard every position, but especially late
where you think you have a mismatch because one guy's six',
eight six,' nine, six' ten and You Don't realize draymond
green at six foot five.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
With long arms he beats him.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
To a spot he makes him catch it maybe three
feet further out than he, wants to be so that
turnaround that's like automatic over.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
His left.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Shoulder he misses and the other expression in basketball you
should know is you are who. You can guard if you're,
a point guard you gotta be able to. Get porn
caards if you're, a big guy you gotta be able to.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Guard.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Big guys well draymond can guard, one through five and
he's great at guarding fives despite the fact that he's
the size of like an. Undersized, power forward really and
if you want to know why he's, a great player
that play right there.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Is, the reason yes he's.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
A good passer no he's not a, particularly good shooter
but none of that matters because late, in the game
he can get, you a stop he can, get your
rebound he can. Get your possession draymond was asked about
the foul that was ruled a flagrant which kept him.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
IN the game i just.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Go Sit down if i'm just going to go out there,
and be cautious it's no place. To be. Cautious playoff
basketball gotta give it. Everything YOU got so i wasn't.
Worried one bit.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
You've shrugged off their fans and some of the comments
they've made about. You this series if you felt your
restraint from yourself and kind of walk.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
In that line i'm always. Walked that LINE that's. Who
i am habitual, Line Step.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Right stut gottlieb Show Here On. Fox sports. RADIO he, is, i,
mean like look first half of the first half of
that game was it Was literally Like.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Draymond being draymond.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It was all of the Check all the draymond boxes
outside of being ejected, from the game, he basically accomplished
called for a flagrant and a technical and all of
those different. Things or whatever. For WHATEVER reason and, I,
don't know buyer maybe you can. SPEAK to this i
(05:10):
know they're working. On your board watch them Work work.
On buyer's board is why is it that both teams
have kind of Annoying enforcers In Houston and Golden state.
And draymond's annoying is it because he's won championships that
(05:31):
were Less.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
ANNOYED by draymond i.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
THINK it's that i also think it's just what he
does defensively and what. HE has done i think he's
got equity, in the league even though this has kind
of been him. THROUGHOUT his career i think it was
the Same, Thing with rodman like there's things that we
would just point out, and, be like, well it's absurd
But It. Is dennis rodman but there was no doubting
that and No Denying that dennis rodman was the best,
(05:55):
rebounder you know we've ever seen. In the game SO
there was i Don't Think that dylan brooks a guy
who seems to get, under everyone's skin and he's not
the only player. TO do it i don't think his
accomplishments are Even close to draymond or One. Of Like
robmin where i'm not saying We're accepting, what draymond does
because we obviously have been critical of what he's done,
(06:17):
in the past but there at least seems to be
a little method to The Madness, WHERE dylan brooks i
don't know what. That method is.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
It's, a great question what is The Method to. DYLAN
brooks's madness i do think he tries to get under.
OTHER people's skin i think. That's THE method but i
mean lots of people. Can do that you have TO
be and i do think he's. A good defender i
Don't think he's draymond. As a defender it Was Interesting,
that steve kerr Who Played With Dennis. Rodman dennis roman here's.
(06:50):
Where robmins different robmin was the best defender in the
league when He, was in detroit and then as his
career evolved and he lost some of that edible. Lateral
Speed quickness because, robbin right now when he Was, with
the pistons he'd be the best defense player, in this
league you could have guard. One through five he was
crazy athletic for a. MAN his, size i mean he
made himself into just the best rebounder just when, He,
(07:12):
couldn't shoot like just, made himself valuable and.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
He was, AMAZING.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Draymond has i guess, instead of rebounding passing has been
his added skill and, then versatility defensively he.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Has been amazing, but.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
That, ONE you know I don't think houston was as good,
as a record but also running into a. Veteran type
team and then the Other Part to dylan brooks is
He Ran. Into golden state has two guys like That Now, with,
jimmy butler right there's two really, really Tough dudes and
jimmy Can, score Unlike draymond and jimmy's just as tough
(07:52):
as anybody and just as, hated as anybody.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Just as.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
HATED as anybody i think the Difference is that. DRAYMOND
is respected i Don't Feel like dylan brooks, is as
respected and that can be you want to, Talking about
fans fans don't matter talk about in The League, where
dylan brooks it feels very obvious that that's who he's
trying to make himself into is one, of those guys
(08:17):
and it FEELS like those nba people don't believe that
to be who, he really is or they're just. ANNOYED
by him i can't tell, What it is jay sdu
can you tell? What it is are the? Annoyed by
him because it's just it's a, very similar act yet.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It lands differently, it, FEELS like yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I don't know i Don't know what draymond's deal. Was
last night if you saw that foul that was ultimately
ruled a flagrant and they kept him. In The game
reggie miller on the broadcast was given them the benefit,
of THE doubt and i think that's The Thing that
draymond green should have no benefit. Of the doubt buyer
(08:57):
said that, he's built equity sure with the, chaninampionships and
whatnot but he doesn't deserve benefit. Of the Doubt So
when draymond green's leg comes Down hard, on easan's head that's,
on the hardwood you can't not take into, Consideration his past,
AND to me i think they got away. With one there,
(09:18):
thankfully for them he was the difference. IN the game
i guess towards the end but it's like they there
is no benefit. OF the doubt i don't know if
you guys Were Listening to reggie miller just completely back his.
Accidental incidental nature he uses like these words, At, this
point really we're this far into his career and we
still think these.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Things.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Are accidental huh nobody does the accidental. On purpose better
there's never been anybody who does the that it should be.
Something that's accidental but it feels like, because it's him.
It's on purpose it Just As, here's amy udoka head Coach,
of the rockets talking about how hard It is with draymond.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
On the floor do you feel like you have any
route to Efficient offense when draymond is in the game
and what?
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Would, THAT be.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Yeah i mean we got got some looks and used
his aggression against him and got the got him in.
Foul trouble, there you know he's kind of roaming all,
over the place and so make, the right read you'll
you'll get open looks, off of him and, SO you
Know i think i'll be was going. Going well regardless
the plan was To go ATTACK green and i think,
he did that had some success there and missed. Some
(10:26):
easy shots early but settled in there and so he
just continued to. Be aggressive there and it doesn't matter who's.
On the outprint we feel like we have an. Advantage,
EVERY night.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
YEAH i SEE i think i. Think it's, interesting game
one You Go after Tyler Hero because tyler hero, can't
guard anybody right that that's the stated game Plan By
the cleveland cavaliers is To Just. Attack Tyler hero, in
(10:54):
Game two the Rockets Went, at draymond green not because he,
can't guard anybody but because the benefit of The doubt
that jays do you say, he shouldn't get he doesn't get,
from the officials and he gets into foul trouble and
then that starts. The possible implosion so it starts kind of.
The process there it Is interesting that i'm the worst
defender on one team and the best defender. On another
(11:15):
team are both two guys. You go at and there's
two very Different Reasons Why.

the Lakers For. The la times he'll join us. In
mere moments before we, get, to that though let's Find
out what dan is remorse for something we call buyers
say we. Did there remorse.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
SOME have remorse i am deeply sorry for my irresponsible.
AND selfish behavior, i.
Speaker 8 (12:21):
Engage them but there's nothing quite. Like buyer's remorse.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Doug may have some remorse on a step OR two
that i may have missed or maybe gone too far
on reseeding. THE lawn again i know springtime wasn't, the
greatest time but it needed. To be done but THAT'S
not where i. Have buyer's remorse it does Stem With,
the MILWAUKEE bucks and i think all of us, as
sports fans had a deal that you just wanted it.
(12:51):
To WORK out and I remember when i REMEMBER exactly
where I was when i found Out that the Bucks
Were acquiring damian lillard at the stoplight just outside of
our Studios Here in Southern California. And los angeles The
intersection Of sepulvida and ventura about To turn on ventura
to go into, our parking ramp Right By The, sherman
(13:13):
OAKS galleria and i saw the alert on my phone
that a deal, had been done and in the back, Of,
MY mind, doug i said please don't have This Be
the Gary payton. To milwaukee deal and, in a way
it feels like that, it's not exact but. It's Darn
close drew holiday goes AND wins a nba Title, With
The celtics ray allen goes on to continue to have
(13:35):
a great Career with the sonics and then winning a Title.
With the heat there was a, lot With it but
i'll tell you the worst. Part about it you never
want anybody to have. A BAD time and i feel
like it took So Much for damian Lillard to leave
portland and now when he's going to Look back on
milwaukee in his Time, with the bucks what good? Memories
are there And that's what. I'm remorseful for not only
(13:59):
it didn't, not work out like it Wasn't even a
we just didn't, get it done couldn't get. Over the
hump there was nothing. Great about it just like when
you have friends, come and visit you want them to have,
a good time and if it rains or things don't
work out, or there's traffic you're always kind of have.
That extra pressure that's KIND of how i feel About
this dam lillard Situation.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
With, The bucks well i'm glad you admitted it that
you're remorseful for feeling good, about your, team believing it believing.
IN your team i will point out that AT the
time i didn't think it. MADE him better i wasn't
a buyer. Into The trade but i'm glad you'd admit
that you were wrong and that you weren't smart.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
At that moment it WAS it, was.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I, know any anyone.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Anyone who's reasonable it has like the first time, you here're,
like ooh that and then the, question is like but
how will it?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
All, work together sure here's my here's my here's.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
My.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Honest, question here yes do We look at damien a? Little?
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Diff NOW yes and i, think it's? Unfair?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
IS it.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
YEAH i just i Do because and, i'm A fan
and i'm, may BE biased but I Really liked damian
lillard before He. Went to milwaukee when he ended up going,
to the box it. Was EVEN better but i just
don't think it was the ideal, Situation, FOR.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Him OKAY i just i think that what happens is
there's different. Levels of basketball he had ONLY played and
i think one. Conference finals ever and you know when you,
get to that every time They, had played steph it
didn't matter who had the better team or Whatever play
(15:42):
what steph.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Was just better that was Just Better. Than damian lillard
you could see you in the same. Court they were.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
He was better, and you know the more, important the
game the higher level of basketball.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
THAT you played i mean Even.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
IN the olympics i Actually hold the, olympics, against, him
like well that's, Not the same like he wasn't a
star Player on.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
That olympic.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Team he WASN'T and so I kind Of I think
damian lillard is somewhere in between the superstar that he
was purported to be.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And the star player that he kind of.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Looks LIKE now and, I say star i mean the
best player on a team that can make the playoffs
but can't.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Do anything right that's. A star play he's a, superstar in.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Persona in swag obviously he can wrap seems like, a
beloved guy but he's just not that. Elite LEVEL player
and i think this though it's only been a short,
period of time and obviously this year unfortunately ends an
injury after coming off. The, BLOOD clots yeah i do
think it's easy to make that summation in watching during His.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Time IN walk can i give you?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
A QUICK parallel and i don't know if you guys,
have any others but you talk a lot about when
guys transfer after four years and just go somewhere else
for like a grad transfer, for one year And how
maybe sully's that four year experience and you really can't
go back as as you. WOULD have Liked i hope
i'm not putting words, in your mouth but that was
kind of maybe the sense, of, it of hey you hope,
(17:05):
you nailed it want a home to go. BACK to, it,
i think no.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
It's what, happen you like give me a great player,
at a school or have a great player. For that
school then all, of a sudden You, Transferred to kansas
so You, transferred to duke he transferred to, You, Know, Wherever,
carolina news chile and, you're just okay and you, Guys lose,
early you're like was it? Really worth it because that
first school he kind of. BURNT the equity i still
think He's beloved IN portland Because i think portland is like,
(17:31):
they didn't know like he wasn't. Gonna WIN here but
i actually think It. Helped make portland. Portland got worse
now they're getting better.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Because of It And that damian Lill trade helped portland
more than anything to get.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Out of there.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
They were stuck if, You, will.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Stuck yeah long runner, is PROBABLY better but i also
think it has that. Feel, as well, sure but yeah they.
Still love him there there's. My buyer's Remorse.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
It's got lieb Show Here On, fox sports Radio and
the lakers season is one loss away. From Being over
dan Woiki covers the LAKERS the entire Nba For. The
la times he joins Us Here On. Fox, sports radio
dan If if the lakers lose in Five To, the
minnesota timberwolves how then should we look at The at.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
THE leucidontic trade.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
I would say incomplete will be The way the lakers
will want you to, look, at it right is that
this was something it was kind of a funny way
this this. Trade has BEEN how would i describe it
like how they've sort of sold it behind the scenes
to people around the organization in the immediacy. Of the
trade it was very much so that this is about
(18:46):
the long term future, of the organization that even if
we take a step back in, the short term the
reason it's okay, because we, are you know we're setting
ourselves up for. Whatever Comes back right like that was
that was the way that it. Was pitched immediately and
then you saw the, teams play together and you started
(19:07):
to see the seedlings Of chemistry Between luca And Lebron
and austin reeves in the way that they could play some,
small ball stuff, and you know they won a bunch
of games and work themselves up to the third seed
and one In, one in Denver One, in oklahoma city
and it was kind, of, like, whoa, Whoa whoa whoa
like maybe this is about. Right NOW too and i
think a couple of things have happened, In the. Series doug,
(19:30):
one you know we've seen the areas in which this,
team is incomplete not enough depth and, two way players.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Not.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Enough size uh, BUT we've also i think seen A
team in minnesota that is also very good And in
a west where a bunch of these series have, been
Coin flips the lakers been on the wrong side of.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
It So, far damn wick.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
You joined us he COVERS the entire nba as WELL As.
The la, Lakers what again i'm not. Saying they're done
it is it is likely they don't, win this series
but by No means do When you have luca And,
you have lebron you give. Yourself a chance What does
this lakers team look?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
LIKE next year.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
I think that the or will be the same would
be my assumption right that this will be a team
that will still enter Next, Year With lukadacis Lebron James.
AND austin reeves I think the lakers believe in those three.
As a CENTERPIECE and then i, think around there you
start to try to find players that best fit what you're.
(20:36):
Trying to do certainly they will, look at Centers, you
know lukadacic when you, have a playmaker, really you Know,
specifically with luca but this Is. True for lebron it's
true to a degree, with the custeners like, having like
one having the kind of big that can help create
advantages below the. Free throw line with lobs and stuff
(20:58):
like that is it's, locks, a lot right. IT gives
you I have one laker, player tell me it's like
if you go from like, having like three from going
from having like one option or maybe, even two options,
having like four when you're, in that position when you can.
Create THOSE advantages so i, think they'll look they'll look.
To do THAT and, then, i think, OBVIOUSLY you Know
i think game four told us to a DEGREE How
(21:21):
comfortable jj redick Is with the lakers bench by electing
to play basically four Starters Or in phinney smith's for
twenty four. To three minutes it's trusted, those guys certainly
and those guys wanted to. Be OUT there but i,
think and also, like you know there there are other
players in the team that need to be able to
(21:41):
be called upon. In those moments and WHETHER that's on
jj for, not trusting them or whether That's on rock
plake for not giving him players that he can go to,
in THOSE moments that's i would imagine that will be.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Addressed this summer, one, would think Well what hope clippers.
Tied it too obviously you lose on no box out and.
Air ball dunk they've overcome adversity, in the past they're probably.
The better team do you think they'll actually pull off
winning two of?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
The, next three.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Gosh that's such, A. GOOD question doug i think they
have been the better team. In this series the biggest
thing for me watching that from afar Has Been seeing
nikola jokic and seeing how angry and frustrated and animated he's. Been,
at times right and this Has been a there's been
more of this over, the. Last months right It Preceeded
the Michael Malone and. Covin booth firings they look like
(22:34):
a team in some ways that is like, ready to,
break YOU know AND i am i don't want, to
say stunned but like They. Haven't broken denver you know
that they've sort of withstood a couple of pretty big
Haymakers from the clippers here early. In this series this reads.
Seven game, SERIES to me I think the clippers are.
(22:54):
The Better team nicola jokic is the best player, in the.
World you KNOW so IT'S i WISH i wish i
could see THE futunity where i could like really plan
a flag. On this one but like a lot, of
these series, AND particularly this i think is the most
emblematic like these teams are ARE so even i Believe
(23:15):
in the, clippers slightly, More slightly more, BUT you know
i wouldn't want To go play Game seven in Denver,
against THE koliokitch which i don't know how good you could.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Feel, ABOUT that, yeah i mean would you want to,
play you know who would you want to play against
in some, Of these games but that's DEFINITELY one THAT
i would i would probably want to.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Want. To avoid milwaukee Do they trade giannis? In the
offseason what?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Do They, do because, lillard you know whether he returns or,
not next year likely is he's not nearly, what he
was especially in this first. Couple months Back what does milwaukee?
Speaker 7 (23:51):
DO moving forward i mean they've never really shown any
there's never been any Real signs of milwaukee looking are
seriously exploring turning. On us before yanis never had, them, To,
either right like it's always been get me this or,
get me That and the. BUCKS have responded i know
there's a really really strong relationship with Center manages on
(24:13):
horst just.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
On.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
An Extension uh but gianna's. About to win. He's, INCREDIBLY competitive,
yeah i mean it's it's one of the only things
anybody around the league is talking. About right, now you
know for for a week, and a Half It. Was
kevin durant now, It's you know Ganis has a zombo
and whether or not he'll want out and you know How,
(24:37):
much the, bucks you, know The hall the bucks will
be able to get for him should he decide to
want to. PLAY somewhere, else i, think you know there
is a level of. Connection that exists and, We saw
THIS tom and i thought Firsthand with, the luca trade
you know that you, have these players particularly when you
have players that that aren't from the area or from
(24:57):
the country. They moved to they moved to, a new
country they moved to, a new market and they are
embraced and they embrace that community in a way that's
INCREDIBLY special that i DON'T want to i don't want
to sit here and Say all that joannis cares about is,
winning a title and he'll go Do, It in miami
he'll go Do, it in portland he'll go do It
in sacrament it doesn't. MATTER to him i think he
(25:18):
has real Real, affinity for milwaukee, for that city for that.
Organization and everything it's best for him. And his family,
THAT being said i would absolutely anticipate him looking, reading
the landscape knowing what's Going On, with damian lillard looking,
at their roster looking at what they're able to, do
to improve and you know, he, may like yes. THEY
(25:38):
should explore i would imagine both. Sides should explore is
just really the? Best place now where it gets interesting is,
like you know if if you go, to a Place
say like brooklyn that has that has assets and, and
you know cap space that kind of, build around you
is that what he? Wants to do he want To
Go to san Antonio play With victor woman? Yama like
(26:01):
that can you know?
Speaker 2 (26:02):
That?
Speaker 7 (26:02):
Can manifest certainly like there there are options out there that,
Are you know houston has a ton of assets, in
that way there are there are landing spots, THAT are,
Attractive i think and it'll be really, interesting to see
you know how aggressive this is really the first time
he plays that card in his career because he.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
HAVEN'T plaidy, yet, I AGREE uh i, i do agree
and it is going. To be Interesting Is The doug
gottlieb Show Here On. FOX sports radio i think Same, questions,
for jokic Right is that Jokic? Synonymous with denver they
won a, title as well but now a coaching change
there and by the roster just very. Much top heavy
(26:42):
do we do we have any idea what what his
desires would Be? LIKE in, denver i mean.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
If there's a player that's harder to understand about what
he does, and doesn't, want you know real LEAGUE other than,
NICOLEA jokicic, like i mean like that is very, much
you're reading Like So. MUCH tea LEIS i Think i
think i'd be more surprised if, he wanted out and,
if you're honest. WANT it out i think that there's
(27:09):
still a lot of belief in into that core there
that when you win a championship with people and like
most of the people and this Is. Different, Th milwaukee
obviously janics Won. THE championship milwaukee a big part. OF that,
core i mean all of it basically. Is gone now
isn't playing in different. Places No, More Chris middleton drew
holliday Obviously. Is in, boston you know The people that
(27:30):
jannis won With are, also i'm sorry Yok one with
they're All. Still IN denver and i do think there's
probably more, optimism there, that you know if we can
figure this out if we, can You Know if christian
brown can, still Get Better if peyton watson can, get you,
know more consistent that there is some sort of we
have opportunities in front of us. IN mess way i
(27:51):
think that That'll be the that's probably why that would
feel more. Surprising than me, BUT you know i don't
Know much about niccoli yoke each other, than the say
like the dudes of basketball genius and in the summer he
loves to go watch his horses race and. Drink some
beers like it's really hard to, know what, else you
know like is at the top of. HIS priority list i.
THINK they're competitive i think, They'll STAY competitive BUT i
mean i also kind of Think that if niccolokic played
(28:14):
for anybody that they'd be a. Pretty competitive.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Team i'd agree.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Draymond almost went it's he Almost went full draymond last
night in, the, first half right.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
And then you Have You have dylan.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Brooks at, the other end Who who it's it's like
he got the handbook at a very young age how
to be a kind OF an obnoxious, nba tough guy
and maybe he skipped a couple steps in terms of parts,
to his game but he's he's definitely.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Earned that reputation.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
How how hard will It Be for golden state to
keep winning after This series with draymond being in like,
double secret probation with the possibility of him, being you
know uh having to sit.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
FOR a, game i mean so it's funny bring that
Up rights as i'm covering a lakersine that's down, three
to one and people have pointed to. LEBRON come, back
I Mean like jamond green missing a game, in those
finals very pivotal Certainly to. The cleveland comeback this is
The Gamble, with, raymond green right is that like you
(29:21):
are trusting somebody to walk, a tight, rope you know
and like he uh it's an example action because he falls.
All the time he does the crazy. Thing A lot
but i don't know that there's a player in THE
world that i would trust more to get that stop
in That Moment. Than jamin green like that's just that's,
(29:45):
what he, Does YOU know and i think, like with
him it's just you have to view things, through, the
aggregate uh and you have, to know, that you know
for every three absolutely lunacy moments, that he provides you'll
get four elements four moments of genius and that's just.
You have team you just have to hope that those.
(30:05):
Margins ARE enough and I Think, with jimmy, butler You Know,
WITHOUT jimmy butler i don't think they. Were like, that
you know the positives weren't going out. Away. The Negative Sure,
WITH jimmy butler i think they have enough room to,
handle You know a draymondalf where he gets, a dumb
taxicle or he gets, a bad flagrant or don forbody
(30:25):
even has a miss a, second round game which would,
be you know it. Would be insane they could certainly
take that on with with a little more confidence than,
they could, have You, know In January he's dan.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Wiki Right For. The la times he CARES, all things
NBA Including. The, la lakers dan thanks so much. For,

Fox sports, RADIO who know i was Tied Into. The,
Sooner sports yeah chris doing the play by play For,
The softball well bob Stoops the former Oklahoma head coach
quota to saying he'd be in favor OF Playing an
(33:08):
ou texas softball Game At the Cotton. Bowl In, dallas
cotton bowl what do you guys? Think About? That catton,
Bowl love It Love.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
IT cotton bowl.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
I think it. Would be great it would be awesome
to see something LIKE that The ou. And texas fans
there Would Be no State fair of texas going on.
On the outside but maybe there's a different festival going
on that they could play a three game set or
at least just have a double header that you could play. On,
one day.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah the softball thing being Big, is Very oklahoma very
Oklahoma In The College softball World Series. IN oklahoma city
I Was in oklahoma. CITY this, weekend i mean they
draw GREAT crowds AT. Ou and osu they're, both super
competitive but it is very unique, to, the area.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Right.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Super shipper unique it's like college softball IS to The
Sec and oklahoma state as a rowing is to crewe
Is To.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
The ivy league very, unique and, Distinct, YOU.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Will yeah i LOVE how the sec loves their collegiate. Baseball, As,
well yeah oh should be more of a Thing In. The,
big ten obviously, My alma mater wisconsin doesn't even have
a team. That plays, baseball but yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
That's so interesting they don't.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
Have, a.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Team YEAH crazy.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
But i would Love to See oklahoma and texas play
a Doubleheader At, the Cotton bowl and i'd love to see.
HOW many fans i think they'd get at least. FORTY
to fifty i don't think you're going to fill, the
whole thing because it'd be you'd have some awful seats
in one. Different END zone but i think it would be.
A great thing we're seeing this. With women's sports the.
(34:51):
Last few Years we, had nebraska volleyball? What ninety Thousand
we had iowa women's basketball against AND they had i
think of a forty five Fifty Thousand. At kinnick stadium? So, Why,
not well also like When When the, savannah bananas played
you had a really short porch. And left field it's
not as drastic if you do it in softball because
(35:12):
it's not like three twenty down the line like you could.
Fit a field maybe it would be a. Little shorter wall i'm.
NOT sure exactly i think.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
You can totally, do a softball totally.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Do, A softball yeah i do.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Think It's interesting savannah, bananas, are like hey basically They
Copied The, harlem globe trotters only do it about baseball.
Instead of basketball it's. Kind of genius do.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
You think it's an indictment at All On The major
league baseball product or do you think it's an? Extension
of it do YOU know what i?
Speaker 5 (35:46):
Mean?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
By, that yeah yeah it's indictment because baseball is boring
and it's it tries to make.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Something. Boring fun correct put a, guy in, stilts you
know have him.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
Pitch. On, STILTS.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah yeah i Don't think the globetrotters are an. INDICTMENT
on basketball i. Don't THINK that and I know the
globetrotters why they started and where they ended up is.
Two DIFFERENT places BUT i do i.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Think they take something boring.
Speaker 8 (36:12):
And.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Making FUN yes do i think baseball is as boring
as people's.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
PERCEPTION of it. I DO not.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
But i also think that it's it's It's just Like,
madonna copied, share you know And You know janet jackson,
copied her brother and you have all these female stars
that copy each other for huge. SUMMER shows stars i
think that's all we've Seen With. The savannah bananas they're
(36:42):
just kind of Copying That. Same HARLEM grovetrotters not i
don't only do.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
It for, baseball all right let's get to the headlines.
Of The Day Doug the Sacramento Kings gave doug christy the.
Full time job he's now, their head coach signing a. Multi,
year deal.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Yeah that's, a, WEIRD one right. I think he i think,
he Stabilized It but mike brown was doing. A good
job they were worse After They let, mike brown go
although they. Also trade away it made. A big trade,
So uh yeah sacramento, does weird stuff But Good For Doug.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
CHRISKY Dog Christie Nba commissioner adam Silver Confirmed to the
athletic that the league is looking at having an international
format To Next Year's, all star game which WILL air
on nbc and be played. In, the afternoon yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Let's JUST copy the nhl model and see. IF it
works i don't think it'll be the big THING that, the.
Nhl did though even though there's no fights is they
still played. REALLY good hockey i don't CARE if it's us.
VERSUS the world i don't care if it's. LEFTIES versus
righties i don't care if it's black guys, Versus white Guys.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
EUROPE versus asia i don't care.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
What it is they have to play at least a
little bit of defense and move the ball a little
bit in order to get people to watch and care
and pretend like it's.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
A real game. Hockey did that basketball has not.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Done that yet forty nine ers In Ten and george
kittle a good the terms on a four year extension
where seventy six point four million dollars, forty million guaranteed
highest paid TIGHT end in nfl history with an annual
salary of nineteen point. One MILLION dollars and.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
I think you can see what what they're. Trying To
do brock perdy can to sign probably this week. Or
next week it looks like the fifty. Million dollar variety
kittle's the guy they're going. To build around the guys,
that are gone they must think are, over the hill
and they're gonna try to put young Around Him with
kittle's kittle being, the you know the the go to
guy for the quarterback.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
