Speaker 1 (00:07):
We had Richard on yell from the Rotama Park on earlier.
He likes sovereignty at five to one. That moves from
post eighteen to post seventeen after Rodriguez was scratched today
in Saturday's Kentucky Derby. The Kentucky Oaks is tomorrow and
Ratama Park has all your information that you'll need if
you want to go out and watch from there, And
(00:28):
of course that's the only place in town that you
can actually legally bet on the Kentucky Derby or any
other horse race for that matter. We have basketball coming
up this evening. We have two games. The Pistons are
at home against the Knicks. The Nuggets take on the Clippers.
I think the Pistons are going to force a Game seven.
I thought the Knicks missed a golden opportunity to win
(00:49):
in game in Game five and wrap that series up.
This was a pretty even series from the get go.
I don't like the fact that the Knicks play a
limited bench. I think you need to go nine to
ten deep in the playoffs, even if it's for a
short amount of time, because you certainly have to have.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You have to have rest for your star players at
some time. During the game.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
The Pistons are a much better team than they were
the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
They have JB.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Bickerstaff has got them playing good basketball. I think they
win to night at home and force a Game seven
back in Madison Square Garden. I just don't like the Knicks,
and even if the Knicks win this series, I don't
think they go much further than this.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I agree wholeheartedly with everything you say. I like Jalen Brunson,
I really do. I like Jalen Brunson. But outside of
Jalen Brunson, I don't like Karl Anthony Towns. He's too
scared to be the big man that he is. He
doesn't want to play defense, he doesn't want to go
grab rebounds. He's just I'm just going to stand outside
(01:53):
the three point line and just jack up a bunch
of threes because that's what I do. I don't know
why I staying this player. I can't stand Josh Hart.
I don't know why. I don't know if it's I
feel like he's just severely overrated as a player because
he's just the I guess, the glue guy to a
(02:16):
certain extent. But it's like I don't I can't put
my I can't put my thumb on it. I don't
know why I don't like that guy. It's not because
he's a Villanova Wildcat, has nothing to do with that.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I just I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Well, I'll tell you one player I do like on
the Knicks that I think doesn't get enough credit, and
when he's been hurt, they haven't been very good, and
that's Mitchell Robinson.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah. Yeah, I can't shoot free throws.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
But you know, well, there's a lot of players in
the league that have chosen not to practice that or
for whatever reason they can't do it. That's one thing
that's kind of mind bottling their professional athletes. And I
know it's got to do with hands and the way
that they grip the basketball. And there's a number of
reasons why you're a poor free throw shooter. But it's funny.
You know, nobody would do this because it would look
(03:01):
bad and it would be they wouldn't want the social media.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
But Rick Berry, baby, no, not Rick Berry.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
But let's say that you shoot seventy five percent from
the free throw line in a in the in the
course of a game, a fifteen foot shot you make
seventy five percent of the time off the dribble. So
why wouldn't you just like dribble around As long as
you stay in the little semicircle there, it doesn't matter
what you do. If you cross lines and it's it's
(03:28):
a lane violation. But why not just take you know,
two or three dribbles, move around like you're shooting a shot,
and pull it up and shoot it like you regularly would.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I don't know if you can do that.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
You don't have to be you don't have to stand
still to shoot the free throw. You can move however
you want, and you can move You don't have to
be in the center. You can move left or right. Yeah,
you can move anywhere you want on that line. You
can take two steps back and shoot it. You can
take two steps raight and dribble into it. As long
as you don't cross the line. You can do whatever
you want. But my guess is is that they'd rather
(03:57):
miss they get criticized on social media or by their peers. Man,
you shoot free throws stupidly. Yeah, yeah, guess what I
make eighty percent of them?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Shut up?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, I forget I want to say, I think Derek
Fisher would shoot to the side.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I can't he was about he was about a step
to the left.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I think, yeah, I believe so.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
And there was another player I can't remember off the
top of my head that that did. What you said
is he took like one step back or something like
that and would shoot from further back. I just I
don't know what the rule is if you can actually
like kind of do a normal jump shot motion.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Up, I don't know that there would be a rule
against it.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I don't I don't know on that. I would have
to look look that one up.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
See. I think I would.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
If if your go to shot is like an elbow
jumper off the dribble in the course of a game,
why wouldn't you just, you know, start on the right
side of the of the of the free throw area
and take two dribbles to your to your left and
back and take a fade away and it's only worth
one point, but no one's going But it would look
weird and people would would make fun of you when
(05:04):
you decided to shoot him that way. But people made
fun of Rick Berry for shooting him underhanded. And until
Steph Curry came along, he was the best free throw
shooter in the history of the game, and Rick Barry
did that from early in his career, so I think
that I think Shaq would a bit of a better free
throw shooter. But you get if you stand flat footed
and you hyper extend your legs, there's a good chance
(05:25):
you're gonna miss. And if you don't get your lower
body into shooting a shot, unless it's right underneath the basket,
you're probably.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Gonna miss that as well.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So I think there's some ways that they could get
better at it, they just decide not to.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
The other game is out.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Wes tonight, where the Nuggets and Clippers resumed their series.
I have a feeling the Clippers are going to win
this game in force Game seven back in Denver, but
I think the Nuggets have a really good shot, a
really good shot at winning this. Hopefully they do and
we can get this series over with and move on
and send the Clippers off on their vacation. I'm not
(06:01):
a big fan of, as you know, of James Harden.
I think Kawhi Leonard's the difference maker in this. If
Kawhi has a monster game tonight, there's no way Denver
can stop him, and the Clippers win that game, but
joke should have a good game, where Russell Westbrook had
a fabulous game the last nine time out. So what
we thought was the best series in the West has
(06:23):
turned out to be that way, and especially if the
Clippers win tonight.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah, it's you know, if you would have looked at
the line and said, oh, yeah, Nicole Jokic had a
triple double, but he only had thirteen points, you would
have been like, well, you know, the Nuggets probably got
blown out by thirty or forty. But Jamal Murray reverted
back to the all Star level, even though he's not
been an All Star, an all Star level caliber of
(06:49):
player where he dropped forty plus. And then like you
mentioned Russell Westbrook, Yeah, you're gonna have that.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
But here's the deal with Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook was
solid on defense. He made a couple of nice shots
he got and ones at the basket.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
He was aggressive, hustle plays. Hustle plays.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Don't think that you're now Steph Curry and start jacking
up threes if you're wide open and it's in transition
and it's in the flow of the game and the
first one goes in, All right, I'll give you some
leeway there, but don't think that just because you were
good at what you did the other night in Game five,
that that's going to translate to Game six. If you're
(07:33):
aggressive and you go to the basket and you draw
the contact and the fouls, you do all those kind
of things, that's fine. You can be a major contributor
to this team and help them win. But don't think
that you're the star of the show. Because the star
of this show. You're the fourth fiddle on this team.
Number one is Joe Kitch, Number two is Murray, and
number three is probably Gordon, and you're the next guy up.
(07:55):
And you can make the aggressive plays, and you can
be the defensive stopper, and you can get breakout and
steels and that kind of stuff. But I don't need
you trying to be the hero of this game if
you're going to win Game six on the road.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And I think that's why Michael Malone was advocating the
whole notion of that's why he wanted to play Russ
is he knew when to put Russ in in certain
times and when to take him out because he was
seeing that. Okay, I'm getting the old Russell Westbrook of
he's trying to take over when he really shouldn't because
he's still an NBA professional basketball player, and when they
(08:28):
get hot, they can get.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Hot and get streaky.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
But you're seeing I don't even know who the interim
head coach is now, but you're seeing because remember we
got the reports of well, the GM wanted to play
the younger guy. I don't even remember the kid's name,
and they were advocating stop playing Russ, play the draft picks,
and Michael Malone was saying, no, I'm going to play
my veteran guy. I don't trust the young guy. They
(08:52):
did it for a while, and now look what's happened.
They go back to the veteran of old reliable, old dependable.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
The general manager needs to know if the young gun
can player, not to determine his spot on the roster,
and the coach is always like, I don't care about that.
I just want to win, and I'm not going to
sacrifice a game or a quarter, or a series or
a couple of plays up and down the floor because
you want me to play the player that isn't as
good as the player that I know is as good
(09:18):
as he is yeah, and so.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
That's that's the biggest, the biggest key there.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
But no, I think I think we should be in
for a good game in this one. I kind of
I kind of feel like the Pistons are gonna are
going to be close with the Knicks for a while
and have a little bit of separation in the fourth quarter.
My thought is on the on the on the Denver game.
If Denver's gonna win it, it's going to be in
the last four or five minutes of the game. All right,
(09:45):
Coming up, we're going to talk about the Deon Sanders
and what the Kelsey's had to say on their podcast.
But before we do that, Karl Charles Barkley has some
thoughts on the Bill Belichick situation following CBS Sunday morning
interview that didn't go very well and didn't make Bill
look very well or his girlfriend Jordan Hudson.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
So we'll tell you what Barkley.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Had to say, and we'll give you some thoughts about
what Colin Coward had to say today if you didn't
hear it, and again some other thoughts that I have
on the Bill Belichick thing as he coaches North Carolina.
We'll talk about that coming up next. It's six to
twelve on the ticket
