Speaker 1 (00:04):
All right back here on the Andy Everett Show, a
Friday edition where we have three hours worth of content
and only two hours to get to it. We are
off at six o'clock today for a random acc Friday
night game, so let's get right to it.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
We've got some.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Spurs to talk tonight because they are back in action.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
That is loud. They are back in action as we
turn our attention.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's a late start, so make sure I've got the
ice coffee going already. Probably gonna need some five hour
or celsius before we hit eight thirty eight forty five
tip off. But it is a rematch against the Warriors,
who they dropped the game to Wednesday night.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
A lot.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I mean, I continue to joke about it being an
NBA Cup match, but I do. I do think, you know,
having played Golden State now back to back games in
the same week, there's going to be emotion, animosity trying
to get them back for the loss they gave the
first home loss the Spurs have suffered this year from
(01:09):
Wednesday night. So I do expect to see a good
response from the Spurs tonight. Of course, the main talking
point coming out of that game Wednesday, the Warriors shooting
so many more free throws against the Spurs. I think
a lot of that was due. If you want to
(01:30):
complain about the biased officiating, sure, but I think a
lot of it has more to do with the fact
that the Warriors were rolling out small ball lineups the majority.
You know, as you saw them score forty three points
in the third quarter of that game Wednesday night, it
was as they were playing more of the small ball
al Horford not on the court, which in turn led
(01:52):
to you know, isolations with Cornett Wmby and Spurs bigs
getting stuck out on the perimeter guarding Warriors guards outside
the three point line, which in turn leads to TICKI
tak fouls, allows them to get the foul count up
get to the free throw line more often. So I
would expect some significant adjustments, especially considering that was less
(02:17):
than seventy two hours ago that they saw what the
Warriors were successful doing against them. I do think there
was a lot of discourse coming out of that game
as well. Anytime you go up against Draymond, you know
you're going you're getting into a battle that in one
way you're just hoping you avoid injury. With Draymond's history
(02:41):
of physical play, questionable physical play at times. Well, we're
being generous because there's no.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
That's correct. Yeah again, Oh it was an accident, like no,
your toe.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Is up, not you heal?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, and that's why I didn't do anything issue did
we all saw it.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
That's the problem with Draymond because he does so much.
He does so much well, so much good on the
defensive side of the ball, particularly Uh that when you
do see a play that is obviously across the line
in terms of physicality, and it's not just the it's
not just the bumping for a rebound. It's not just
(03:22):
like you said, it's the blatant stomping on groins and
actions people. Yeah, actions of that nature.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
But I didn't mind the Jordan Poole punch. I felt
if Jordan Poole, I felt like that was coming.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, that's That's one of those moments where I think
the coaching staff probably even to this day, would say,
sometimes you just need to be punched in the mouth
in order to learn, you know, like there's we we'd
probably be better off as a society if more people
just had their ass kicked growing up.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I'm going to give it to the Warriors just because
again I did I thought there was an obvious one
sided with amount of calls being called on, but also
looked at the game just like objectively, the Warriors were
driving the basketball at the Spurs, yep, forcing them to foul.
They forced lucrn At to foul, They forced Wenby to foul.
Steph Castle. A lot of his fouls honestly were more
(04:13):
ticky tacky. I think he I think he did. He
fell out or he was almost he almost fouled out right,
I think it was closed yea, yeah, but he was
in foul trouble a lot of the time too. But
like they were going at the paint and that.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Was a lot of where they were getting the you.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Know, the isolation and the mismatches on the perimeter where
they're beating Spurs bigs off the dribble and then getting
into the paint forcing content or contact.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I mean I should.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I will say though the discourse around Draymond from that
game Wednesday night, he absolutely did have an impact on Wemby.
As when Draymond was the primary defender on Wemby, Winby
only shot four for twelve. And I think as we
start to think about the Spurs not just on this
NBA Cup run, but also on a potent playoff run
(05:01):
for the first time in years where they actually where
you actually do feel like as long as Wimby stays healthy,
they have a decent chance to go up against anybody
in a seven game playoff series. The Warriors are a
team that you're potentially going to see depending on how
the chips fall come playoff time. And I think these
(05:22):
early season matchups where you're continuing, you know, we've seen
Wimby have the quick double teams thrown at him, and
we've seen how he's adjusted, how the coaching staff has adjusted,
how the guys around him have adjusted. I think this
is another opportunity where you can see growth or potentially
(05:43):
start to think about where that next stage of growth
comes from as Wimby goes up against a good individual
defender and Draymond. These are the games that are a
bit of measuring sticks, to use a cliche, as we
think of about what this team is going to round
into come playoff time. It is also interesting the news
(06:07):
that Steph Curry broke his partnership with under Armour this
week as well. I saw he was out at a
liquor store up on the north side, promoting whatever liquor
brand he has up there. He managed to find some
time in the off day yesterday to do that, but
there wasn't I didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
If I missed it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I didn't see a comment or anything from him about
ending the way.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, which is weird. Curry was, you know, Curry was.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
The first one, it feels like, if I remember correctly,
to jump into the under Armor brand. Ironically enough, it
was because Nico Harrison flubbed the Nike presentation. When Nico
Harrison was the Nike executive made the pitch to steph
Curry wouldn't give him a wouldn't give him a signature shoe.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Nico might not know basketball.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Well, it's all.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's very very possible Nico might be a mole or
an asset, a controlled asset by the Nike board.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I mean, it's it's also very possible he's in the
wrong sport. Look at Paul Dipodesta. He was in football
for a while, but he's like, hey, maybe I should
be Maybe I actually do belong in baseball.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, and outside of one summer with the Oakland Athletics,
what else has Paul done?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Like, and I know, but I mean obviously sometimes like
you might think you're off in one sport and then
you realize you're actually we're better off.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Where you were the entire time.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
That Cleveland Brown's run doesn't look too great on his
resume as he's leaving the Browns to go to the Rockies, correct,
which you could.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Argue right now are in the same boat.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
You could also argue he's kind of found the perfect job,
the perfect gig where he can just go to really
bad teams where the expectations are low. Still moneys, Yeah,
still money for a couple of years and move on
to the next one, exactly. I think you'll probably see
more of that with the rock out in Colorado, with
the Rockies real quickly. The one thing I know, Andy
(08:02):
and I were talking about this yesterday talking about the
NBA Cup. Yes, it's a bit. I understand that. I
like bits, That's why I like it, you do it.
I do think there is a lot of truth though
that no NBA Cup match NBA Cup games are not
(08:23):
anywhere close to the intensity of playoff games. I'll give
you that, I completely agree, but you have to also
give me the fact that these NBA Cup games have
shown ever since the creation of this bit of this
idea of the n season tournament, they have shown to
(08:43):
have a level of intensity higher than a normal regular
season game in November. Like right now we're talking about
the Spurs twelfth game of the season tonight. If it
was a normal season before the NBA Cup, I don't
think you would see the level of intensity we're going
(09:03):
to see tonight when these two teams match up again.
Because let's say what you will about professional athletes. If
you're offering them a million dollars to play the sport
they love and to try to win games, they're going
to try to win the million dollars.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
That's only not going to matter to like a small
like one or two percent of NBA players, because right
now a lot of them might like you be brought up,
are either riding the bench or the very least they're
in a role position to where they're trying to get
into the million dollar up.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, the only the only teams are the only players
that doesn't influence are the guys that are running the
union that have carved out the super max contracts for them.
While the middle class of the NBA continues to actually
lose earning value.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah, they want they want the lower level players, the
ones that earn less to like to like, hey, like
stay with us, like take take it on the chim
with us, even though you.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Know you don't make as much as we do and
you never will.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And we're we're going to limit at the mid level
exception capabilities and put in aprons.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And fighting is within their own organization, which is is ironic.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
But I say all of this flashback to last Friday
that Spurs Rockets game. Okay, you still had Wimby and
shingoon elbowing each other for rebounds with under a minute
to play. It was it was almost ended up being
a double digit game. It was right there, eight to
nine at that point. The tiebreaker for NBA Cup games
(10:30):
is point differential, so you're not if a team is
like tonight, if the Spurs are up by ten with
a minute left, they're going to continue to try to score, which,
if you ask me, sportsmanship is the most overrated thing
when it comes. The only thing second to it is momentum.
Momentum doesn't exist, and sportsmanship should be thrown out. When
(10:53):
two teams of professional athletes line up on the same
court and play a game for forty eight minutes. You
should go andun till the forty eight until the whistle
blows or the horn sounds at the end of forty
eight minutes. And we get that in NBA Cup games
because that's the tie breakers.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Sportsmanship is okay when the players playing ain't getting paid.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
So if it's like Little League or.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yes, practice fortsanship because that's childhood development exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
These are professional athletes. Yes, like that.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
And if you're in a workspace and you're competing for bonuses,
whatever job it is you do, you talk smack to
your coworker, same concept.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Completely agree.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So hopefully we get the Spurs trying to run up
the score denied as they look for the win in
the second in the rematch here within the same week
against the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Let's stick on some Spurs
Speaker 1 (11:40):
But with a more long term perspective, because I want
to talk about have your expectations changed.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
