Speaker 2 (00:42):
We're not even taught, Like if you knew what we
were talking.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Our show prep today was not necessarily sports. We're sitting
here bsing for the last thirty minutes talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Movies and movie lines.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, and Tom Cruise apparently coming to Texas and Ethan
Hunt and Jack Bow and it's like you want to
talk about well, literally twenty seconds before the show, literally
really twenty seconds before the show began. You said The
working Man's going to be out and I said, yes,
I know, it's on video. And you said it didn't
(01:15):
get good reviews, and I said, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's got Jason Stathan Staith.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
They're all good, They're all all He is going to
go martial arts on somebody until they're all dead, and
then he's going to save the day like he always does.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Pretty much.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, so that's been our prep today. Yeah, well we
do have some sports stuff. We did do that before
we did that. Yeah, so we'll get to all of
it coming up here in just a little bit. Timberwolves
won last night. They tried to kind of play make
it a little bit harder than it was for a
little bit. But the Warriors are so shorthanded right now.
Is if Steph Curry's not coming back, I can't see
the Warriors winning another game, even in San Francisco. I
(01:52):
think the I don't think the Timberwolves are playing great basketball.
And I think Oklahoma City or Denver, whoever wins that series,
which I still think is going to be the thunder
are going to go to the conference to go to
the NBA Finals. But the Warriors are playing with as
much grit as they can. We're going to talk about
the Draymond Green situation. He got another technical foul last night,
(02:12):
so he's starting to starting to add up all the
numbers and minutes that he has in the.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
In terms of.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Getting close to ejection or suspension for a game. And
I will talk about this. We'll hear what Draymond had
to say after the game. Bryan Windhorst had some opinions
on this. I know how Draymond plays, I know what
to expect from Draymond. He is the antagonizer for the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
He is the.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Bodyguard for Steph and in the past Klay Thompson and
now other players on the team and now Butler. I'm
okay with that, But what comes with that is the
technical fouls. He says, there's an agenda. The agenda is
anybody that makes us look bad as officials, we're going
to give a technical foul to. And that's not only
Draymond Green, it's everybody in the league. The Warriors don't
(03:01):
win or lose games because of Draymond Green, but with
the short bench that they have and the fact that
he's playing over thirty five minutes, there's no way that
he can get suspended for a game. I don't think
their season is more than three games longer unless Steph
plays in one of the next three games. If Steph
is not available to game six, this series isn't getting
(03:22):
to a game six. And that concludes unless the Timberwolves
just decided we're not going to play hard in San
Francisco and we'll just go back and forth with this.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I think the.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Timberwolves have some weaknesses with their capability and mentality of
playing focus for forty eight minutes in playoff games. But
we'll see how that all works out. But I have
no issue with the way that Draymond Green is and plays.
But you're going to have to own that, and I
think the Warriors and Steve Curve owned that. I'm not
sure that Draymond Green has owned that well. I do
(03:54):
have an issue because, yes, there are ways that you
can be a physical player and you know, a quote
unquote enforcer.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
There are ways to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
But the way that Draymond Green plays is flat out dirty.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
He really is.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
He's he's the epitome of a dirty player. Because again,
you can do certain things to hey, maybe you give
a little sharp a chicken wing elbow to the back
of somebody, you know, just to kind of hey, let
him know, Hey, I'm right behind you. But when Draymond
Green is repeatedly kicking guys in another region, choking out guys,
(04:32):
flat out punching guys.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
You're gonna get technically dumping on guy's chest. I see.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I don't think there's a lot of difference between Draymond
Green and say Bill Amber when he played, or Charles
Oakley and Rick Mahorn when they played.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Did Bill Landbier ever kick guys in the nuts? I
think so?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, show me that video. They probably didn't have video.
That's how long ago he played. Okay, I don't know
that he did or didn't. I just know that he
was dirty player. He closedlined you. I remember when Kurt
Ramba in the against Boston went down the lane and
Kevin McHale close lined him.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Uh that my throat? Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I think I think we've had we've had, you know,
they call him goons and hockey. I think that we
have had that in the in the NBA in some
respects at times. But do you but the players are like,
just own it. If you're gonna play that way you're
going to get technical fouls. There's nobody else in the
NBA right now that plays like Draymond Green does, and
that's why he constantly leads the league and technical fouls.
(05:30):
I don't think Rashid Wallace was necessarily dirty, but he
always argued with the referee on every call.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
He ran his mouth a lot, yes, yea.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And I think that's there's you know, you always have
that friend or maybe it's your little brother. If you
have a little brother, uh, because I had one, you know,
you'll you'll nudge him in the side, and he always
has to hit back.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
And and there's he always has to have last hits.
That's Draymond Green. You call a foul on him, he's
going to say something. You time to be quiet, He's.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Going to re bond.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And it's it's a personality thing with Draymond Green that
he has to have the last word until Steve Kerr
or Steph Curry goes, dude, you're about to get ejected.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Go sit on the bench. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Well that's what happened last night after the the dead
ball foul that I mean, if that's not Draymond Green,
to be honest, it's probably a flagrant, but I believe
that that should have been a flagrant foul, not a
technical foul. I think the reason it wasn't called a
flagrant was because apparently because it was a dead ball,
so it can only be called a technical.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
But if it was actually you know, not in the
game anyway.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, but yeah, you saw, I mean Steph Curry sitting
there grabbing him and telling him, Steve Kurr they had
to take him out. Yet you can't get you can't
get tossed here. We're out of players. We're gonna have
to play somebody nobody's ever heard of or played. Jonathan
gminga more minutes so we have five guys on the floor.
I believe the Warriors did something for the first time
ever in NBA history in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
They played fourteen players in the first half. Team they
played every boy they need.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
They needed to give somebody a ask. I just you
want to talk about self sabotage. It's just like, at
what point is Steve Kerr sitting there and Steph Curry
sitting there saying, dude, we may not win this series
because Steph isn't out. Because Steph is out, but why
are you making it even harder on us. Why are
you trying to self sabotage, because that's what it seems
(07:23):
like Draymond is doing. You can be the enforcer in
a certain way to where you are not self sabotaging
your team, and that, to me, that's what it seems
like he's doing. All Right, we got the nixt of
the Celtics tomorrow. We've got the Cabs and Pacers and
the Thunder and Nuggets tonight. Peter Holt was in the
paper this week, Peter Holt Junior that is talking about
(07:44):
Project Marvel in the Spurs one point five billion dollar arena.
I'm gonna talk on in depth about this. In the
five o'clock hour. I was rereading a post about it.
I don't remember who's who it was that had it online,
but there were sports to it though replies to the post,
and it said, like I don't want to drive an
(08:05):
hour and a half to watch the Austin Spurs. I'm
going to make this statement and I'll back it up
a little bit more. In a little bit, if the
University of Texas ever allows a professional basketball team in
its city, every UT sport is dead, except for football.
It's the end of their sports world because the basketball
(08:26):
team will consume everything in that city except for the
football program. And the evidence of that is what went
on in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City used to be pretty
much the northern half of Oklahoma City was more of
more either o U RSU fans. The southern part of
Oklahoma City into more Norman was O you people. OU
(08:48):
basketball tickets would sell it five or six thousand season
tickets a year, Oklahoma State would sell out five or
six thousand season tickets a year, and a eleven twelve
thousand seed building. They'd have walk ups for all the rest.
The Thunder came in and they took all the sports money.
And the only thing that's really survived in the sports
world is OU football and a little bit of OSU football.
(09:08):
And it's because the Thunder take every single sports dollar
in that community that they can get their hands on.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And it's the way any pro team does.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
And unless you're a major major city like a Chicago
or a Dallas or Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta,
there's just not enough money to go around to support
all of those teams. And the University of Texas the
first question I would ask, is where you going to play?
You're not playing at the Moody Center. The Moody Center
belongs to the University of Texas. That is they're building
(09:38):
and they're taking every dollar of revenue that comes from it,
and they're not about to share it with a professional team.
So I'll get into more in this than a little bit.
If the Spurs ever leave San Antonio, it's going to
be out of the state, not out of the city.
I don't think they're ever leaving, but we have a
mayoral race that's going to be decided. I guess when
the runoff is in June maybe, and that's going to
(09:59):
be a big deal because you need a sports friendly mayor.
But whoever the mayor is, they can't be the one
that says no to the Spurs and risks the potential
of losing them. So there's ways to get this done
that does not impact the community. And that is the
education process that I will be talking about over the
next several months. And it's also the education process that
(10:21):
every single sports fan needs to tell to every one
of their friends. It is going to be a venue
tax that usually means hotels and car rentals and unless
you wreck your car and need to buy a rent
a car for a couple of weeks, or you're doing
a staycation in San Antonio. You're not paying for it.
Somebody else is. So we're going to get into that
a little bit more in depth in a little bit.
(10:43):
This morning, it was reported that Bill Belichick's girlfriend has
been banned from all activities and facilities that NC and
then about two hours later they came out and said, no,
she's not banned. She can do whatever she wants. So
we'll get into the Bill Belichick girlfriend thing again. Charlie
Woods did not make the call for the US Open,
not shocked. We'll talk about that coming up. The NCAA
(11:05):
has floated out a new proposal for the sixteen game
playoff that will probably take place not this season, but
next and it requires that the major conferences get automatic
bids and not just one or two, several.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
So we'll explain the pros and cons to all of that.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
We've got some former utsa basketball news to get to
and a bunch of other things to discuss over the
next two hours and forty five minutes. Some thoughts on
all these basketball games.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Coming up.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Next, it's the Indy everage show on the ticket
