Thirty five? Forty almost forty pounds? Remember I was down
there one seven?
Speaker 8 (14:38):
But how many months was that though?
Speaker 5 (14:39):
And it's about the same thing was right after the sugar.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, this is a little different because I wound up
going to Syracuse and the NAPA, you know, drinking all
that wine. That's that's sugar. So I'm a little heavier
than I was, but I'm not fat.
Speaker 2 (14:52):

do it the hard way in these streets. So I'm
you have run from the grind back down looking like
Rob Kenseko going in bathroom stoles, jabbing yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Boy, I don't even know who you are. Robb Gi.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I'm like Barry Bond. I was already good before, but
now I'm about the Hall of fame.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Robgie, you about three pounds of what you lose. I'm
gonna be somebody gonna come to you the opposite wedding, like,
are you okay?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Is your wife good? Is she good? If you're with
your weight loss? She I think she's fine with it.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Nod's might be mad. That's like monopoly Man sized kick.
What are you doing?
Speaker 13 (15:40):
Like?
Speaker 5 (15:40):
What are you gonna need to lose weight for? You're married?
You got two kids. I'm good, gonna keep up with
the kids.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I ain't lying about that. These kids are where you are.
I'm this reason I got to get a whole new knee,
rob G trying to run around with them. I need
a whole new right knee. If you're listening right now,
you want to give me a whole new knee. You're
a surgeon. Please hit up the odd couple. Let me know.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
I'm surprised that you only have an issue with one knee.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I figured you have problems with both these, the spectrum
with the knee patches.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Watch it, watch it, watch it, and you know I'm
a legend over there.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Don't play.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
They'll come for you. I don't even have to come
for your spectrum will come for you. We'll do a
whole report.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I only got hurt. I only got one trick knee.
You should have two.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
I'm just saying, you know, Spectrum, We'll do a whole
news segment on you, breaking news, some sources. Someone out
at iHeart coming up next.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
That would be me. All right, what did coach k say?
Please so?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Cameron Boozer lit up in C's day yesterday. Something scratches
on his arm. He looked like a beast. You fought
a grizzly bearrier.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, I was, hey man, that was insane.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
And he had a great game per the US.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
It was what he'd been doing at twenty six points,
eight to ten, shooting, you know, doing everything for the
Duke Blue Devils. After the game, coach k spoke with
Jeff Goodman front of the show about Boozer and where
he ranks not only amongst the freshmen this season, which
is an incredible class, but all time.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Listen to me, it's not close. This kid is so dependable,
so poised, and puts up amazing numbers and accuracy in
passing and rebounding, and he's such a physical tone for
our team that another team has to match. He's had
(17:23):
really as good a year as any freshman that has
played here.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, for me, he is an outstanding player.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
And he may have when you look at the results
and the numbers, But for me, I think he's taking
advantage of a an era where college basketball is not
played the same. There are no big men. They're not
a lot of fundamentally sound big men, whether that be
defensively or offensively, and so he's just punishing kids who
Now we talked about a little bit yesterday where you
(17:54):
got a lot of big men who shoot threes now
who aren't trained how to defend, how to body up,
how to play, how to push on the perimeter.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
They're out on the perimeter, or even if they're not,
because they have to guard him.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
They haven't been trained on how to stop and guard
big men, so he is incredible.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
He'll be a top probably three.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
To four pick maybe not even that high, maybe one two,
And I think you'll have a nice NBA career. But
one of the things I'm skeptical and I'm a little
weary about when we start talking about best ever changing,
you know, especially with big men nowadays.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
I think Joker would be a Hall of Famer any
any era, just like I think most Hall of famers
can play the air. But I would have loved to
have seen him have to go night in, night out,
going up against the fours and the fives, like, for instance,
you go against the Spurs, I gotta play David Robinson
and Tim Duncan, Rashi and Ben Wallace, you know teams
where they were Big ODIs Start and naquem O LaJuan,
you know, like where you have to go up against
(18:47):
big after big after big.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Now my my yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
My thing on the Joker is him winning so much
and dominating tells you how good he is.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Because no, I said maybe a Hall of Famer regardless.
I'm just say the competitive.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Because he can take advantage of what is in front
of him, you know what I mean? Like, I agree,
And that's the problem with the college basketball with coach
k Is, this is not the coach the college basketball
you coached early on and the way people play defense anybody,
just from the European standpoint, when they talk about the NBA,
(19:21):
they're like, it's easy to score in this.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
League, like all of them talk about it. Yeah, it's
not physical what you used to be.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
That was the thing.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
It used to be that they weren't ready for the
physicality athleticism, and now it's not.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
The same and the same thing at college basketball. I'm sorry,
Like most of the best players aren't playing. That's part
of it, and then they're just not enough really good
players to make people have to earn it. And if
you're a special athlete, it's a piece of cake. Who's
a kid from Kansas. We keep talking about Darren Peterson.
(19:56):
He plays twenty minutes a game and scores twenty four
point like child's playing. Seriously, Yeah, I play a whole
game twenty four points and twenty minutes.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
And I still think kamboozer again, I think he's incredible.
He is sound, footwork is amazing, and I liked it.
It's funny play right. I love what he's doing because
it's to me his father said, bump all out of stuff,
get your big button down there like I used to do,
and bulldoze and get rebounds and post up and have
footwork and have fundamentals and mechanics. And I love that.
(20:29):
That's why his game is like, wow, it's a throwback.
If you watch him play, he'll hit some shots, he'll
hit a three, he'll hit some mid range. But he
likes to get down there and bang and take full
advantage of his size down there.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And I love that.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
But I'm just saying, you know, this ain't the eras
of the Patrick Ewings and the Matumbo's and Alonzo mornings
and the Chris Webbers and the I mean, we can
go down to listen you know where you had to
guard all these bigs, and bigs had to guard you.
So he's doing what he's supposed to do, taking full
advantage of this era. And he's a heck of a player.
But I'm like, man, you know, night in night out,
(21:01):
he's not going up against the same type of size
and competition.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
And it does factor it. I don't care what you
say you gotta look at everything. Context matters in sports,
It really does.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (21:14):

Speaker 6 (22:00):
Radio host, NBA TV analyst says, well, Brian, what's up man?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
How you doing?
Speaker 13 (22:04):
I'm doing good? Guys?
Speaker 9 (22:05):
How are we doing?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Excellent? Dude, doing well? Doing well? How are you?
Speaker 13 (22:10):
I'm great? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
All right, let's get it.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Let's get into some conversations around the NBA right now.
I want to start with uh, and I'm slightly biased
here the Pistons slight.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Now it's just like like like.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
He's a Pistons homer, so go ahead.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
So but you're here it is.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
But I'll say this, even as a homer and even
as being someone who's biased, I will say, when looking
at the postseason with this team, I'm wondering about, Okay,
Kay Cunningham, does he have to be spectacular night in
night out?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Is there enough there?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Tobias Harris going to be enough for weapon thears during
finally growing enough? When you look at this team and
what they can be in the postseason, how high is
their ceiling?
Speaker 14 (22:55):
The seeing is very high.
Speaker 13 (22:56):
Listen. They certainly have a chance to go to the finals.
What they've done and how they've built this team is
essentially it's been a trade off. So they've brought in
some players who are excellent individual defenders at the expense
of shooting. Quite frankly, they don't have a lot of
perimeter shooting. And by the same token, they can roll
seven guys out there that are all above average NBA defenders,
(23:17):
So then they're gonna make it into a grind. They're
going to play a physical brand of basketball. Kate Cunningham
is going to have to be Superman. That's certainly going
to be a part of it. But by the way,
one of the great, really good individual defenders they have
is Kate Cunningham reguards a tough player on the other
team night in night out. The question for them is, like, listen,
naked hide a guy like Duncan Robinson, but he's got
(23:38):
a hit shot, and that's the thing. He becomes a
key guy here with the way they struggle to shoot
the basketball. So if they're not getting some consistent three
point shooting from Duncan Robinson or a Kris LeVert, that's
going to make it a little tougher for them in
the playoffs. Now, Listen, Robbinson's track record is one of
a guy that you know can shoot up to forty
percent from three, if not more, So he becomes a
(23:59):
very interesting guy for them. With all that said, they're
certainly going to be able to keep the ball out
of their own basket very well. And one of the
things that's impressed me the most this year about them
is how they've physically dominated the Knicks, and I don't
think you can sleep on that or take that lightly.
The Knicks are a big, physical team and Detroit pushes
them around like the rag Dolls and most teams. I
(24:20):
don't know there's a team in the league that can
do that to the Knicks in the way that the
Pistons do it. So listen, and in the wide open
Eastern Conference, they've been much better than everybody. Six games
clear of the field. At this stage of the game,
they got as good a chance as anyone to be
able to go to the finals.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Here's my problem, Brian, A couple of things you just
said about the Pistons. Number one, then a bottom ten
of three point shooting like that is a real buggaboo
going into the postseason because somebody you got to be
able to make some shots.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
That's what worries me about them. Last year they dominated
the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I think they were three to zero in the regular
season and wind up losing the postseason. We're not even
winning the game at home. They are much better. This
is the second year of going in. I'm not discounting them,
but there's some things that scare me about them. And
the other thing is you say they got a chance
to go to the finals. You're gonna go from two
playoff wins in the last seventeen years to the NBA Finals.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
It just seemed like a big jump for me.
Speaker 13 (25:21):
It is. But by the same Tolkien, if you look
up and down the conference, you can make the case.
If not them, then who everybody's about?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Well, I could say Cleveland, I could say the Knicks.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
I mean the Knicks didn't go. I could say that
use last year.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Last year, they last year they beat the Knicks during
the regular season, and then they couldn't win a game
at home in the postseason. The Knicks made shots in
that's in those games in Detroit to beat them.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
That's all I'm saying is that I saw this movie.
Speaker 13 (25:50):
Last year and they also got screwed with a bad fall.
You know, Josh bout Tim Harnaway in that game, and
that adult could have gone the other way. It was
a very close series. Here's my point, and I hear
what you're saying, But the fact is it's going to
be based a lot upon matchups and when you take
a look at the physicality and the Pistons, listen, the
Knicks push around the Cavaliers they do the Cavaliers. The
(26:13):
Cavaliers struggled very badly with the Knicks, and last year
in the conference there was Listen, Indiana ended up going
to the finals, but Boston was the powerhouse. The Knicks
were able to beat them, mixed matchup well with them.
There is no powerhouse in the conference this year, and
that's why I say they have as good a chance
at everybody Cleveland. I don't know that Cleveland's tough enough.
I still don't think Cleveland's bards on the perimeter as
(26:35):
well as they need to the Knicks. Listen, the Knicks,
another team, you know, they are two best offensive players,
really can't be on the court at the same time
Layton playoff games because they're both shids defensive leagues. It's
an enormous problem for them. Boston needs Jason Tatum back
and playing at a pretty high level. I'm not sure
that's going to happen if they want to even have
a chance. You know, take a look even Philly. Philly's
(26:57):
counting on a healthy Joel Indeed and Paul George coming
healthy from suspension. That everybody has got works in that conference.
And that's kind of my point. So the twit can
be an imperfect team, and they are an imperfect team,
and they can find their way into the NBA finals
if all the matchups fall right. The point that you
make is a very strong point. The strongest point you made.
(27:17):
There's only two playoff wins last year. Generally we rarely
see in the NBA a team ascend right to the
final just one playoff appearance of being done. You have
to normally take your lumps. I mean, the two thousand
and eight Celtics are absolutely an exception to that rule,
and it's twenty nineteen Raptors as well. But even the
Raptors before they got Kawhi Leonard got knocked around into playoff.
(27:38):
You normally, you normally have to go through that. But
I would tell you this is one of those years
in this conference, with this team that the Pistons have
a chance to defy that.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
All right, man, I didn't know y'all want to be
so fun. I thought I was the Pistons fan. You
guys want to talk about.
Speaker 15 (27:53):
The mean.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
The best record, so we should break it down.
Speaker 16 (28:00):
Sure, let me talking about it as I do want.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
To ask you though, And you know, I think JJ
Reddick should be fired I really do. I just I
know he was supposed to be Pat Rodney because he
had slick hare and he talked great on the podcast
or whatever it is. They don't play for him, and
I don't expect Lebron and Luca to be these all
world defenders.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
But my god, like it's the same thing over and over.
I don't know, what do you do? Just is it okay?
It's only Rob Polinka?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Because everybody last year when they went to the playoffs, Brian,
all I heard was, don't sleep all Lebron and Luca together.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Who in the West gonna stop those two? That's all
I heard?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
And then they got knocked out in the first round.
Where are you on the Lakers? And what you've seen?
Speaker 13 (28:51):
The Lakers could screw up a one car funeral, prossession
find ways to.
Speaker 14 (28:56):
Screw stuff up.
Speaker 13 (28:57):
First of all, let's start back in the offseason with
Lebron James on your team. Did you really need to
do this whole offseason song and dance declaring it Luka
Doncics's team. It would have gotten there. It would have
gotten there on its own organically. And you know what,
the guy that needed to declare it Lucas team was
not Rob p Linkn, not JJ Reddick. The guy that
needed to declare it. Lucas team was Lebron James and
(29:19):
he would have gotten there, but you just have to
kind of give him the chance to get there. So
they started it then. Listen, Reddick made as the biggest
rookie coaching mistake you'll ever see a playoff game last
year where he didn't sub for an entire you remember that,
and had exhausted players down the stretch. He's in a
situation now where it's almost no it's almost no win
(29:40):
for Jja. It's because he's got got star players that
don't mess at all. Lebron doesn't want to be there anymore.
They don't want Lebron there anymore. Luca has got a
total attitude with everything. And listen, you're seeing a little
bit why Dallas got turned off with Lucas. Lucas touffed
the coach. He's not easy, he doesn't play off the
ball all that well. He'll defend when he feels like defend.
So you have all those things. Here's the thing. If
(30:01):
you want JJ Reddick fire from the Lakers, you're probably
going to get your wish because Mark Walter just bought
this team. They are completely overturning how this team gets run.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Very quietly.
Speaker 13 (30:11):
Last week they hired Tony Bennett, former head coach at
University of Virginia, as a draft consultant. They pretty much
put JJ's replacement in the building. And that's not going
to work well. Andrew Friedman from the Dodgers is there, okay? Now?
Speaker 14 (30:23):
Magic?
Speaker 13 (30:24):
Keep in mind, Magic Johnson's a minority partner with Mark Walter.
He's partners with Walter on the Dodgers as well. You
think that he's involved with an ownership stake with the Lakers,
and he's not going to have something to say.
Speaker 16 (30:36):
And by the way, I'm going to tell you someone
that he doesn't.
Speaker 13 (30:38):
Really like working with all that much. That's Rob Belinka.
This whole thing is getting overturned for the Lakers. You're
going to see new management. You're going to see a
new coach. Mark Walter's going to come in and he's
going to put his stamp on this whole thing and
do it his way. They're starting to do it already.
I think they're one and done this year in the playoffs.
Yet somehow, some way, they keep hanging around and They're
sitting here very very good time the lost column for
(31:00):
the five seeds.
Speaker 15 (31:01):
So as bad as.
Speaker 13 (31:02):
It looks, they continue to win enough games to keep
their heads above water. The problem is this, they don't
have enough to defensive personnel. I just wax poetic, guys.
No matter how good the towards defensive personnel is, the
Lakers on the defensive end of all four for a
personnel standpoint, are the exact opposite. And you just you
can't turn around in that situation and turn lemons into lemonade.
Speaker 16 (31:22):
You just can't.
Speaker 13 (31:22):
So the Lakers are in trouble here, and I do
think you're going to see a entirely different group of
people running the show as we start next season.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
All right, man, we'll leave it there.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Ryan, appreciate you, man, Thank you much, Man, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (31:35):

NBA in the sixty five game minimum. I'm saying, forget

Speaker 14 (33:43):
The mark with that damn NBA. It's golden daver pass Man.
Speaker 18 (33:48):
I'm so frustrated with this, you know, with the low management,
with the high ticket prices and the players setting out
you book a you know, a hotel, tickets, everything it
runs off almost a dollar. And also of the players,
he said, down, it's a traves cy.
Speaker 14 (34:02):
What's going on?
Speaker 18 (34:03):
So I'm just so frustrated with that, and Adam Silver
is complacent with that.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
That's just my thing, and you know what, hard to

Who you your trashing? Rock Rockey?
Speaker 14 (35:08):
I am trashing today's game of basketball. And I'm going
to start from the high school level to the collegiate level,
to the pro level. Whatever happened to being able to
play half court defense, be able to run half court offense?
Now to go to the gyms and they got three
(35:28):
point lines. You go to your parks and Actually, it's
getting ready to get warm, and I like to go
to the park, get my sneak so on, and get
my ball and go shoot around. Just and I'm almost
sixty five years old and I see three point lines
out there. You got these kids all they do and
they're coming out. Oh, I want to shoot three pointers.
Speaker 17 (35:48):
And so on and so forth.
Speaker 14 (35:50):
And it's just the game that I so love. It's
just I don't enjoy watching it as much anymore.
Speaker 16 (36:00):
And there are exceptions to the rule.
Speaker 14 (36:01):
There are some who choose to play defense. There are
some that who do know how to run a half
court offense. Especially with the NCAA tournament going on coming up,
You're gonna find those teams that can play half court
offense and play half court defense. Those are the guys
that Those are the teams who are going to be
in the Final four. Okay, dog, like the game is anymore?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
All right?
Speaker 6 (36:23):

Speaker 5 (07:38):
I feel like it's doable.
Speaker 12 (07:39):

Speaker 8 (08:00):
No, no, no, he said forty five though, if we're.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Doing if you told me Rob, if Rob, if you
said you're doing your eating that you do the I
don't eat this, I don't eat that. And you told

We changed from from keys to fives five years ago.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Where have you been? It's a five. Now you pushed
a little bit and it gets you in. Listen, we
all believe you can do it. We've seen it. We
witnessed it. I even said you could get to forty. No,
you can do We saw it last year?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Was it? What did you do last year? Thirty?
Speaker 13 (14:33):
What I was?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Thirty five? Forty almost forty pounds? Remember I was down
there one seven?
Speaker 8 (14:38):
But how many months was that though?
Speaker 5 (14:39):
And it's about the same thing was right after the sugar.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, this is a little different because I wound up
going to Syracuse and the NAPA, you know, drinking all
that wine. That's that's sugar. So I'm a little heavier
than I was, but I'm not fat.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Hey man, we're not shaming you. Man, that's you is.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
I'm so hea than I was before I started doing
twenty jobs.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I was much better and better shape. You know we're fighting.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
We're not jabbing like rob G who doesn't want to
do it the hard way in these streets. So I'm
you have run from the grind back down looking like
Rob Kenseko going in bathroom stoles, jabbing yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Boy, I don't even know who you are. Robb Gi.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I'm like Barry Bond. I was already good before, but
now I'm about the Hall of fame.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Robgie, you about three pounds of what you lose. I'm
gonna be somebody gonna come to you the opposite wedding, like,
are you okay?
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Is your wife good? Is she good? If you're with
your weight loss? She I think she's fine with it.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Nod's might be mad. That's like monopoly Man sized kick.
What are you doing?
Speaker 13 (15:40):
Like?
Speaker 5 (15:40):
What are you gonna need to lose weight for? You're married?
You got two kids. I'm good, gonna keep up with
the kids.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I ain't lying about that. These kids are where you are.
I'm this reason I got to get a whole new knee,
rob G trying to run around with them. I need
a whole new right knee. If you're listening right now,
you want to give me a whole new knee. You're
a surgeon. Please hit up the odd couple. Let me know.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
I'm surprised that you only have an issue with one knee.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I figured you have problems with both these, the spectrum
with the knee patches.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Watch it, watch it, watch it, and you know I'm
a legend over there.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Don't play.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
They'll come for you. I don't even have to come
for your spectrum will come for you. We'll do a
whole report.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I only got hurt. I only got one trick knee.
You should have two.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
I'm just saying, you know, Spectrum, We'll do a whole
news segment on you, breaking news, some sources. Someone out
at iHeart coming up next.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
That would be me. All right, what did coach k say?
Please so?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Cameron Boozer lit up in C's day yesterday. Something scratches
on his arm. He looked like a beast. You fought
a grizzly bearrier.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, I was, hey man, that was insane.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
And he had a great game per the US.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
It was what he'd been doing at twenty six points,
eight to ten, shooting, you know, doing everything for the
Duke Blue Devils. After the game, coach k spoke with
Jeff Goodman front of the show about Boozer and where
he ranks not only amongst the freshmen this season, which
is an incredible class, but all time.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Listen to me, it's not close. This kid is so dependable,
so poised, and puts up amazing numbers and accuracy in
passing and rebounding, and he's such a physical tone for
our team that another team has to match. He's had
(17:23):
really as good a year as any freshman that has
played here.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, for me, he is an outstanding player.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
And he may have when you look at the results
and the numbers, But for me, I think he's taking
advantage of a an era where college basketball is not
played the same. There are no big men. They're not
a lot of fundamentally sound big men, whether that be
defensively or offensively, and so he's just punishing kids who
Now we talked about a little bit yesterday where you
(17:54):
got a lot of big men who shoot threes now
who aren't trained how to defend, how to body up,
how to play, how to push on the perimeter.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
They're out on the perimeter, or even if they're not,
because they have to guard him.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
They haven't been trained on how to stop and guard
big men, so he is incredible.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
He'll be a top probably three.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
To four pick maybe not even that high, maybe one two,
And I think you'll have a nice NBA career. But
one of the things I'm skeptical and I'm a little
weary about when we start talking about best ever changing,
you know, especially with big men nowadays.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
I think Joker would be a Hall of Famer any
any era, just like I think most Hall of famers
can play the air. But I would have loved to
have seen him have to go night in, night out,
going up against the fours and the fives, like, for instance,
you go against the Spurs, I gotta play David Robinson
and Tim Duncan, Rashi and Ben Wallace, you know teams
where they were Big ODIs Start and naquem O LaJuan,
you know, like where you have to go up against
(18:47):
big after big after big.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Now my my yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
My thing on the Joker is him winning so much
and dominating tells you how good he is.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Because no, I said maybe a Hall of Famer regardless.
I'm just say the competitive.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Because he can take advantage of what is in front
of him, you know what I mean? Like, I agree,
And that's the problem with the college basketball with coach
k Is, this is not the coach the college basketball
you coached early on and the way people play defense anybody,
just from the European standpoint, when they talk about the NBA,
(19:21):
they're like, it's easy to score in this.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
League, like all of them talk about it. Yeah, it's
not physical what you used to be.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
That was the thing.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
It used to be that they weren't ready for the
physicality athleticism, and now it's not.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
The same and the same thing at college basketball. I'm sorry,
Like most of the best players aren't playing. That's part
of it, and then they're just not enough really good
players to make people have to earn it. And if
you're a special athlete, it's a piece of cake. Who's
a kid from Kansas. We keep talking about Darren Peterson.
(19:56):
He plays twenty minutes a game and scores twenty four
point like child's playing. Seriously, Yeah, I play a whole
game twenty four points and twenty minutes.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
And I still think kamboozer again, I think he's incredible.
He is sound, footwork is amazing, and I liked it.
It's funny play right. I love what he's doing because
it's to me his father said, bump all out of stuff,
get your big button down there like I used to do,
and bulldoze and get rebounds and post up and have
footwork and have fundamentals and mechanics. And I love that.
(20:29):
That's why his game is like, wow, it's a throwback.
If you watch him play, he'll hit some shots, he'll
hit a three, he'll hit some mid range. But he
likes to get down there and bang and take full
advantage of his size down there.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And I love that.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
But I'm just saying, you know, this ain't the eras
of the Patrick Ewings and the Matumbo's and Alonzo mornings
and the Chris Webbers and the I mean, we can
go down to listen you know where you had to
guard all these bigs, and bigs had to guard you.
So he's doing what he's supposed to do, taking full
advantage of this era. And he's a heck of a player.
But I'm like, man, you know, night in night out,
(21:01):
he's not going up against the same type of size
and competition.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
And it does factor it. I don't care what you
say you gotta look at everything. Context matters in sports,
It really does.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
Radio host, NBA TV analyst says, well, Brian, what's up man?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
How you doing?
Speaker 13 (22:04):
I'm doing good? Guys?
Speaker 9 (22:05):
How are we doing?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Excellent? Dude, doing well? Doing well? How are you?
Speaker 13 (22:10):
I'm great? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
All right, let's get it.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Let's get into some conversations around the NBA right now.
I want to start with uh, and I'm slightly biased
here the Pistons slight.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Now it's just like like like.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
He's a Pistons homer, so go ahead.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
So but you're here it is.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
But I'll say this, even as a homer and even
as being someone who's biased, I will say, when looking
at the postseason with this team, I'm wondering about, Okay,
Kay Cunningham, does he have to be spectacular night in
night out?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Is there enough there?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Tobias Harris going to be enough for weapon thears during
finally growing enough? When you look at this team and
what they can be in the postseason, how high is
their ceiling?
Speaker 14 (22:55):
The seeing is very high.
Speaker 13 (22:56):
Listen. They certainly have a chance to go to the finals.
What they've done and how they've built this team is
essentially it's been a trade off. So they've brought in
some players who are excellent individual defenders at the expense
of shooting. Quite frankly, they don't have a lot of
perimeter shooting. And by the same token, they can roll
seven guys out there that are all above average NBA defenders,
(23:17):
So then they're gonna make it into a grind. They're
going to play a physical brand of basketball. Kate Cunningham
is going to have to be Superman. That's certainly going
to be a part of it. But by the way,
one of the great, really good individual defenders they have
is Kate Cunningham reguards a tough player on the other
team night in night out. The question for them is, like, listen,
naked hide a guy like Duncan Robinson, but he's got
(23:38):
a hit shot, and that's the thing. He becomes a
key guy here with the way they struggle to shoot
the basketball. So if they're not getting some consistent three
point shooting from Duncan Robinson or a Kris LeVert, that's
going to make it a little tougher for them in
the playoffs. Now, Listen, Robbinson's track record is one of
a guy that you know can shoot up to forty
percent from three, if not more, So he becomes a
(23:59):
very interesting guy for them. With all that said, they're
certainly going to be able to keep the ball out
of their own basket very well. And one of the
things that's impressed me the most this year about them
is how they've physically dominated the Knicks, and I don't
think you can sleep on that or take that lightly.
The Knicks are a big, physical team and Detroit pushes
them around like the rag Dolls and most teams. I
(24:20):
don't know there's a team in the league that can
do that to the Knicks in the way that the
Pistons do it. So listen, and in the wide open
Eastern Conference, they've been much better than everybody. Six games
clear of the field. At this stage of the game,
they got as good a chance as anyone to be
able to go to the finals.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Here's my problem, Brian, A couple of things you just
said about the Pistons. Number one, then a bottom ten
of three point shooting like that is a real buggaboo
going into the postseason because somebody you got to be
able to make some shots.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
That's what worries me about them. Last year they dominated
the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I think they were three to zero in the regular
season and wind up losing the postseason. We're not even
winning the game at home. They are much better. This
is the second year of going in. I'm not discounting them,
but there's some things that scare me about them. And
the other thing is you say they got a chance
to go to the finals. You're gonna go from two
playoff wins in the last seventeen years to the NBA Finals.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
It just seemed like a big jump for me.
Speaker 13 (25:21):
It is. But by the same Tolkien, if you look
up and down the conference, you can make the case.
If not them, then who everybody's about?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Well, I could say Cleveland, I could say the Knicks.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
I mean the Knicks didn't go. I could say that
use last year.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Last year, they last year they beat the Knicks during
the regular season, and then they couldn't win a game
at home in the postseason. The Knicks made shots in
that's in those games in Detroit to beat them.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
That's all I'm saying is that I saw this movie.
Speaker 13 (25:50):
Last year and they also got screwed with a bad fall.
You know, Josh bout Tim Harnaway in that game, and
that adult could have gone the other way. It was
a very close series. Here's my point, and I hear
what you're saying, But the fact is it's going to
be based a lot upon matchups and when you take
a look at the physicality and the Pistons, listen, the
Knicks push around the Cavaliers they do the Cavaliers. The
(26:13):
Cavaliers struggled very badly with the Knicks, and last year
in the conference there was Listen, Indiana ended up going
to the finals, but Boston was the powerhouse. The Knicks
were able to beat them, mixed matchup well with them.
There is no powerhouse in the conference this year, and
that's why I say they have as good a chance
at everybody Cleveland. I don't know that Cleveland's tough enough.
I still don't think Cleveland's bards on the perimeter as
(26:35):
well as they need to the Knicks. Listen, the Knicks,
another team, you know, they are two best offensive players,
really can't be on the court at the same time
Layton playoff games because they're both shids defensive leagues. It's
an enormous problem for them. Boston needs Jason Tatum back
and playing at a pretty high level. I'm not sure
that's going to happen if they want to even have
a chance. You know, take a look even Philly. Philly's
(26:57):
counting on a healthy Joel Indeed and Paul George coming
healthy from suspension. That everybody has got works in that conference.
And that's kind of my point. So the twit can
be an imperfect team, and they are an imperfect team,
and they can find their way into the NBA finals
if all the matchups fall right. The point that you
make is a very strong point. The strongest point you made.
(27:17):
There's only two playoff wins last year. Generally we rarely
see in the NBA a team ascend right to the
final just one playoff appearance of being done. You have
to normally take your lumps. I mean, the two thousand
and eight Celtics are absolutely an exception to that rule,
and it's twenty nineteen Raptors as well. But even the
Raptors before they got Kawhi Leonard got knocked around into playoff.
(27:38):
You normally, you normally have to go through that. But
I would tell you this is one of those years
in this conference, with this team that the Pistons have
a chance to defy that.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
All right, man, I didn't know y'all want to be
so fun. I thought I was the Pistons fan. You
guys want to talk about.
Speaker 15 (27:53):
The mean.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
The best record, so we should break it down.
Speaker 16 (28:00):
Sure, let me talking about it as I do want.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
To ask you though, And you know, I think JJ
Reddick should be fired I really do. I just I
know he was supposed to be Pat Rodney because he
had slick hare and he talked great on the podcast
or whatever it is. They don't play for him, and
I don't expect Lebron and Luca to be these all
world defenders.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
But my god, like it's the same thing over and over.
I don't know, what do you do? Just is it okay?
It's only Rob Polinka?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Because everybody last year when they went to the playoffs, Brian,
all I heard was, don't sleep all Lebron and Luca together.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Who in the West gonna stop those two? That's all
I heard?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
And then they got knocked out in the first round.
Where are you on the Lakers? And what you've seen?
Speaker 13 (28:51):
The Lakers could screw up a one car funeral, prossession
find ways to.
Speaker 14 (28:56):
Screw stuff up.
Speaker 13 (28:57):
First of all, let's start back in the offseason with
Lebron James on your team. Did you really need to
do this whole offseason song and dance declaring it Luka
Doncics's team. It would have gotten there. It would have
gotten there on its own organically. And you know what,
the guy that needed to declare it Lucas team was
not Rob p Linkn, not JJ Reddick. The guy that
needed to declare it. Lucas team was Lebron James and
(29:19):
he would have gotten there, but you just have to
kind of give him the chance to get there. So
they started it then. Listen, Reddick made as the biggest
rookie coaching mistake you'll ever see a playoff game last
year where he didn't sub for an entire you remember that,
and had exhausted players down the stretch. He's in a
situation now where it's almost no it's almost no win
(29:40):
for Jja. It's because he's got got star players that
don't mess at all. Lebron doesn't want to be there anymore.
They don't want Lebron there anymore. Luca has got a
total attitude with everything. And listen, you're seeing a little
bit why Dallas got turned off with Lucas. Lucas touffed
the coach. He's not easy, he doesn't play off the
ball all that well. He'll defend when he feels like defend.
So you have all those things. Here's the thing. If
(30:01):
you want JJ Reddick fire from the Lakers, you're probably
going to get your wish because Mark Walter just bought
this team. They are completely overturning how this team gets run.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Very quietly.
Speaker 13 (30:11):
Last week they hired Tony Bennett, former head coach at
University of Virginia, as a draft consultant. They pretty much
put JJ's replacement in the building. And that's not going
to work well. Andrew Friedman from the Dodgers is there, okay? Now?
Speaker 14 (30:23):
Magic?
Speaker 13 (30:24):
Keep in mind, Magic Johnson's a minority partner with Mark Walter.
He's partners with Walter on the Dodgers as well. You
think that he's involved with an ownership stake with the Lakers,
and he's not going to have something to say.
Speaker 16 (30:36):
And by the way, I'm going to tell you someone
that he doesn't.
Speaker 13 (30:38):
Really like working with all that much. That's Rob Belinka.
This whole thing is getting overturned for the Lakers. You're
going to see new management. You're going to see a
new coach. Mark Walter's going to come in and he's
going to put his stamp on this whole thing and
do it his way. They're starting to do it already.
I think they're one and done this year in the playoffs.
Yet somehow, some way, they keep hanging around and They're
sitting here very very good time the lost column for
(31:00):
the five seeds.
Speaker 15 (31:01):
So as bad as.
Speaker 13 (31:02):
It looks, they continue to win enough games to keep
their heads above water. The problem is this, they don't
have enough to defensive personnel. I just wax poetic, guys.
No matter how good the towards defensive personnel is, the
Lakers on the defensive end of all four for a
personnel standpoint, are the exact opposite. And you just you
can't turn around in that situation and turn lemons into lemonade.
Speaker 16 (31:22):
You just can't.
Speaker 13 (31:22):
So the Lakers are in trouble here, and I do
think you're going to see a entirely different group of
people running the show as we start next season.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
All right, man, we'll leave it there.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Ryan, appreciate you, man, Thank you much, Man, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (31:35):

runs off almost a dollar. And also of the players,
he said, down, it's a traves cy.
Speaker 14 (34:02):
What's going on?
Speaker 18 (34:03):

Speaker 14 (35:08):
I am trashing today's game of basketball. And I'm going
to start from the high school level to the collegiate level,
to the pro level. Whatever happened to being able to
play half court defense, be able to run half court offense?
Now to go to the gyms and they got three
(35:28):
point lines. You go to your parks and Actually, it's
getting ready to get warm, and I like to go
to the park, get my sneak so on, and get
my ball and go shoot around. Just and I'm almost
sixty five years old and I see three point lines
out there. You got these kids all they do and
they're coming out. Oh, I want to shoot three pointers.
Speaker 17 (35:48):
And so on and so forth.
Speaker 14 (35:50):
And it's just the game that I so love. It's
just I don't enjoy watching it as much anymore.
Speaker 16 (36:00):
And there are exceptions to the rule.
Speaker 14 (36:01):
There are some who choose to play defense. There are
some that who do know how to run a half
court offense. Especially with the NCAA tournament going on coming up,
You're gonna find those teams that can play half court
offense and play half court defense. Those are the guys
that Those are the teams who are going to be
in the Final four. Okay, dog, like the game is anymore?
