Speaker 5 (05:08):
Cool, it's so yeah like that, Rob, Did you ever

Speaker 1 (05:22):
My friends were like, dude, are you okay.

get personal. Did you ever notice when it switched?
Speaker 7 (05:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, you know. And that's that's the like people ask
you all.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
The time about like getting divorced or whatever, and I'm
just gonna say this one thing, and this is really
and and you'll know it.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
It's when you don't care anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Like there comes a point where you know, like there's
this friction and you just don't care.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
You've met your limit, yeah, and you just go like.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Okay, I don't care. What's she at. I don't care.
I don't care. And that's when you know, like it's.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
That's a good point because if you're still with you, like,
I want to make this right, this out, I was wrong?
What do I need to do? Do I need therapy?
Do we need couples? There?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
And you're just like right and you get to that
point all right. Justin is our producer and for Rob
g Rob Anniversary about divorce court talk.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
The worst part about it is somebody right now is
getting divorced because they heard it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Like, I don't care.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
What's the less time I thought about it.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It's a dude driving right now looking at his wife.
I don't even care what am I? Uncle Rob said,
it's that time I feel bad now. Alex big brother
Dove is gonna say, fight for the love. People, fight
for the love.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Alex is our engineer, Steve de Segre, Steve anchor desk and.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Of course never heard of him. Elijah never heard of him.
It's our social media Google.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yes, Elijah, all right, Hey, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
We got a lot to get to. You want to
hear from you as well. Don't forget about our number
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We do because
last night it was supposed to be a crowning for
the OKC Thunder the Patriots with their gimpie star Halliburton,
and even though it was in uh Indiana, most people
(07:19):
thought this is just the inevitable. And instead the Pagers
didn't just win, they demolished them. And I don't know
what I think they the Thunder had the wrong mindset.
They just weren't ready for this game for whatever reason
or you know, and that's why you got all the
NBA menus talking about this league is so rigged and
(07:41):
fixed because it just looks like, how did they go
from getting beat down the game before to the Thunder?
You know, the Pagers all of a sudden having a
twenty two point lead at halftime, you know, where the
game and they maintained it and Halliburton didn't go crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
What do you have?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Fourteen points? I was gonna say thirteen. And he played fine,
he played only twenty three minutes. Of course they didn't
have to play him a lot of minutes. They're up
by twenty two points for most of the game. But
now here we are, and Kelvin, I mean I said
this before, and you know, I picked the Pagerson six
and my whole thing was it just looked like a
team of destiny because of the way that this whole
(08:20):
ride has been and coming back when they should be
counted out and whatnot, and now here they are with
their guy, their magical guy in Halibert, who didn't have
to play a million minutes to just survive to win
that game, so he's not burnt out. And then they
have off till Sunday. You know, even though it's on
the road, I feel more confident than ever that they're
(08:42):
going to win the championship. And ok C is the
tight one. They're the young ones, They're the ones that
are gonna have to answer the bell. And if you
fall behind early at home and the crowd you could
feel it, you know what, like there's a lot Indiana
to me, playing with house money on the road, no expectations.
(09:04):
They're eight seven point underdogs, right, that's not a close.
It's not two points three point. This is they should
lose and okayse he should win. So I'm feeling good
and I think that the Pacers are going to do
what we I can't imagine that they were gonna do
until the playoffs actually started.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I think they're gonna win the championship.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Scrap everything I ever thought about basketball, Scrap everything that
makes sense, scrap all the logic, scrap all the well,
if you look at this and fundamentally, if you know
this and the numbers say, because this has been the
wildest playoff, right I can remember in quite some time. Right,
you got a Pistons team that makes it. They win
like thirty games more than they did the year before.
That comes out the blue, even if you thought they'd
(09:47):
be better. They get in the posts. You know, well,
where did that come from? You got a nick team
that was underachieving all year. You kind of wanted more
for them. They couldn't beat the good teams.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
What do they do? They beat the Pistons in they
go beat.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
The Celtics and you're like, wait, the Celtics, they're supposed
to be in the championship, trying to be you know,
two time champ or you know, back to back. They
get knocked out, and then Cleveland has been looking like
a world beater on the East while OKAC was a
world beater on the West, and Cleveland gets knocked out.
Tyree's Halliburton has made more game winners than some people's
entire fifteen to twenty year careers.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
In one post, locking up Steph Curry.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
This I'm just saying, and this is not so none
of this has made since. And that is why this postseason,
this finals hasn't even made since. Now here's where the
thunder went wrong. The thunder got in there and you've
been you've done this before. It's a beautiful summer day.
(10:39):
You can smell the food, the barbecues there. They started
to smell the champagne. They started already tasted it. They
could already see the balloons getting ready to drop. And
they got in there and just thought, man, we got
to show up and do what we do and we're
automatically gonna win. And they forgot the Pacers have been
a desperate team that has fought all year, that has
come back multiple times, and that was not gonna just
(10:59):
lay down. And they got in there and already tastes
in the champagne and thinking all we got to do
is show up and we'll be fine. And that was
not the case, and the worst case scenario happened. They
gave the Pacers starters a lot of rest, in particular
Tyrese Halliburton.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That's the part like it wasn't a nail bier where it.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Banged up.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
He's tired he got to relax, get his shot going,
feeling comfortable, feeling good. TJ McDonald McConnell had another game
where he played very well twelve.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Nine and six. Keep his dad off steals.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Give it that gear was on NBA TV. Get dad,
stay off the TV. We are Tyrese Halliburton, Dad, he's
got that. He's a dad of the postseason. But he's
feeling good, playing well. Nimhar plays great seventeen, So you
got the guys who will be playing bigger minutes in
place of Tyre's Halliburton playing very well, in confident and
he got to play well enough and only played twenty
(11:57):
two minutes and he gets an extra day off again,
three days resting up.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
That was the worst case scenario.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Now the worst worst would have been had that was
at home, and now the Pacers would be going back home.
Now at least the Thunders still have it at home.
But if you're SGA, this is what you are. The
MVP for your team is gonna perform better. The role
player is gonna play better at home, just like the
same thing happened with the Pacers, and SGA needs to
show why he's the MVP. He did not play well,
(12:23):
is his worst game of this this finals run. He
looked mortal and he needs to show them what's up.
But all logic is out the window this postseason. For me,
this makes no sense. The Pacers being there, the thunder,
you know, getting them, have them competing to a game seven,
None of this makes sense except for they have been
the two best teams, as I keep saying, since January first,
(12:46):
and maybe that's what we got all the way to
the Game seven.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
But I think that the point you're making is the
best one is that they didn't just give them new life.
They allowed them to coast through Game six, so that
now the they're rested, rested and ready to go energetic.
And there is pressure. I don't could anybody says, man shot,
it's so heavy. There's pressure on the home team. And
(13:11):
the last time we had a Game seven was when
Lebron and the Cavaliers won Game seven. Remember this is
so eerie because and once not three to one. But
if you remember the uh, the Warriors had now lost
two games in a row all year. They lose three
(13:32):
in a row in order to lose the championship, including
Game seven at home.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
So Game seven at home is not automatic.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Now the reason I'm sticking with the Thunder first of all,
picked them. Second of all, they haven't lost twice. They're
six and oh. We got through a loss. Could this
be the one? You never know? This is the Pacers
were five and oh after loss, including a couple of
games in the finals, and then they finally lost one.
But can they I believe they're gonna get it right.
I believe there guys a bitch players will hit big
(14:00):
shots at home. I believe SGA is gonna put it
in the thirty thirty five to forty piece. And lastly,
you mentioned the Warriors game sevens at home.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
The home team is twenty and.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Four, and I have to just roll with that because
nothing else has made sense.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Suck.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
One thing has to make sense.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Right, So what doesn't make sense is that the Pacers
will be the NBA champs?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
All right?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Where are you? Did the Okse Thunder give new life
to the Pacers? And who you're picking in game seven?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Kelvin sticking with his original pick of the ok See Thunder.
I'm picking with sticking with my original pick which was
the patents and six. I'll take seven if that's what
it takes. Where you we want to hear from you,
who wins and why? It's The Odd Couple on a
what is today flash black Friday? Fast Back Friday. I
(14:59):
know I've been thinking about this vacation for a long time.
Right here on The Odd Couple Fox Sports Radio stick
and stay.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Soon, Uncle Rob will be plenty of cities away, that's right.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple
with Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm
Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
There's just a few things in life you absolutely remember
when it dropped and when it was a thing like
this was just thriller. Come on, man, well but this
was MTV in the video and all that red jacket
and just man. Fox Sports Radio, you boys, Rob Parker,
Kevin Washington on a funky Flashback Friday, DJ Aly Alex
on the Ones and twos.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
For over forty years, sire.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Wreck has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive shit fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options. You
say what, I'll tell you Mobile tire installation go check
that out at tire reck dot com. It is the
way tire buying should be. I don't know what the
heck is going on the NBA Finals. I just rolling
(16:08):
with the thunder. You're rolling with the pacers. This has
been a crazy playoffs eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Makes sense of what you saw, what you've been saying.
By the way, you were right, Rob, I got a
lot of people when I went to the other job,
Spectrum News one makes you check it out the morning
show rig Soon as I walked in the door, I
told you rigged. My NBA is rigged. I was like, wait,
what dude, I didn't even put on a suit yet.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Like words, yeah, uh.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Jabbari in Michigan, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
What's up? Jabari?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Well Sorr everybody? How's it going with dude?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Great? How you?
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
You know?
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Yo?
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Three one three? What up?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
What boss up?
Speaker 8 (16:45):
You already know you are no, but yeah, these finals
have been crazy so far. I and I expect the
way how it's gonna be from the players to the others. Man,
it's so hard but I'm just gonna get straight to
the wint. Game seven. I think I think the Pacers are.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Gonna win it. Wow.
Speaker 8 (17:05):
And the only reason why I think the pacer are
gonna win it because listen, I understand there are stepstans
to the rules where the Celdiers in nineteen sixty nine
won the championship and they were a fourth seed standing
with the Rockets they were a sixty. But those teams
right there, they won a championship before. With the Pacers,
they haven't won a championship. However, they know how to
(17:27):
close the deal. And also they are the only team
that I can remember, for like for a while in
Game seven that doesn't have the pressure to win. Okayc
has all the pressure in twenty sixteen, pass the Warriors
had the pressure. You know, you go back to the
Lakers and the Celdiers beforehand. But the Pacers they have
no pressure, and I believe they're gonna win a close
game against the Thunder.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Question is one of the few times I can't tell
you're wrong. Thanks to Borrow, this has just been a
crazy playoff series.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Who we got.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Robert and Queens, You're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio what's up?
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Robert Quinny, as great greatest talkie, as the always guy,
appreciate it was a pleasure. Yes, yes, okayc plans. Don't worry.
Things will be back to long with tomorrow night on
Sunday night shape. But it's gonna have our thirty five Indian.
It's gonna fall behind early like they always do in Okay. See,
they're not gonna come back this time.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Easy cover on the eight and a half. Whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I do think the Thunder gonna win.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I don't think it'll be too big, but I will
say this, that first quarter, the pressures on those thundershooters,
because all you guys lost, you lost Game six, You
were up, you're feeling good, you were tasting the bubbly,
and that those shots.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
A little heavy, your legs a little wait for a minute.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
And now I think you saw the same thing with
the Pacers last night. They were oh for eight at first,
a little heavy, like we can't lose, we can't lose
until they finally settled down. So I think it's gonna
take the Thunder a little bit to get settled. But
I do expect I do expect them to win but man,
it's been a tough series.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
No doubt.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Brandon Riverside, California. You're in the eye couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
What's up beat?
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Good?
Speaker 9 (18:59):
I'm good fellas going on. But hey, so I'm I'm
I'm straight excited because I had the patients in seventh
and that's the pool that I'm in at work on
the line. So me and me and the guy he
got Okay, see a seven I think faces in seven.
So I'm i'm, I'm I'm ecstatic right there. So and
(19:21):
also this this has been the series of benches, So
whoever bench scores the most usually wins, that wins that game.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
I'm not worried about patients.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
Going back to ok s because the patients hasn't been
following the rules all players. Every time somebody come up
with a game player and I went a dist them too,
I'd be one of the ones like, oh, they would
never be. They're not going to be. They're not gonna be,
no team, and they find a way. You're right, Rob, it's.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
A destiny's destiny.
Speaker 9 (19:51):
It feel that your destiny.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, no doubt more. Quarter game seven, was it still destiny?
Speaker 7 (19:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
No, if they lose it was just a really good team.
That was a surprise.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, you have to actually win it. Okay, what a
destiny to be right? All right, appreciate the calls. Uh
we have on the way. We got Nicky k from
Spectrum La of course. Uh, what works with me? We'll
talk some more hoops with her. She covered the thunder
for some years. But right now we've got to get
you sett on. What's trending with Steve the Segastick.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Hello, we had a game of Wrigley Field, Chicago today
and by the way, former Cub Sammy Sosa was honored
at Wrigley his first visit there in over twenty years.
Seattle pulled away for a nine to four win over
the Cubs cal Rolly with two more homers. He has
twenty nine this year, which is a new record for
a catcher before the All Star break. In the game
at Pittsburgh right now, Jacob de Gram is on hands three.
(20:43):
Nothing is his lead against the Pirates. In the bottom
of the fourth, Jacob de Gram on the mound and
got benefit of a couple of cheap runs first and
may make it stand. He enters with a six and
two record two point one nine ERA. As for the
golf well. Scotti Scheffler's in the mix for the league
going to the weekend. In fact, he shares the second
round lead at the Travelers at nine under par with
(21:05):
Justin Thomas and Tommy Fleetwood. Caitlin Clark, Indiana leads all
players in voting for the WNBA All Star Game, more
than a half million votes so far. By the way,
the Angels manager Ron Washington is out indefinitely due to
health reasons tonight, and the Dodger and Padre managers will
be skipping their games tonight after they get to know
you hit batters last night to finish the four game
(21:27):
series in LA between San Diego and the Dodgers. So
and they can't appeal. They have to serve their suspensions tonight.
So that's Mike Schild for the San Diego game and
Dave Roberts for the Dodger game. But the Podre closer
Robert Suarez gets a three game suspension, and we'll appeal
back to you.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Thank you, Steve, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
See our couple Rob Parker Kelvin Washington on a funky
flashback Friday. We're gonna have conversation a little bit later
about that. As those all those suspensions came out and
just the series as a whole. We kind of hit
on it a couple of times, and yeah, is another
year we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Also, we're going to talk about the Sammy Sosa that well.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Yeah, well looking forward to that too. He looks like
he's back to back to normal.
Speaker 1 (22:12):

Spectrum l A.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
You can't afford a full low last name, just Kase.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Hey, hey, don't do my don't do my little sister
like that I saw.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
You want to know the story behind this roum?
Speaker 8 (22:32):
Yes, so I have a very German.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
Last name and growing up, growing up, every every teacher
could never say it. That makes it starts with the K,
so they would look at me in the classroom. You know,
I'm eight years old, Nikki Ka.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
That makes that makes so much sense of all, Nikki,
I'm gonna need to know you last name so I
can at least give it an attempt.
Speaker 10 (22:55):
Listen, I don't want people googling me.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Don't do it, don't do it.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
I don't want people know my deep dark right, my
gpa which way MAGNETU bla.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
You say it's crazy because I remember in second grade
there was a Greek girl And only reason I tell
you why she was Greek is because of her name,
and uh, I could imagine being to you. I've never
forgot her name because it's so you know, nik Unique
Sally Papas.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that is Greek as can be.
That is so.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
My uncle was in weather and he tried to get
me to have He was like reeling off the alternate names.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
He was a weather man.
Speaker 10 (23:36):
He's like, this is what you could be, this is
who you could be in And I was like, I
would workshop them amongst my friends, and a lot of
times I got hey, you know Nicky, Nicky Haley, Nicky Ryan.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That's a that's a.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
Porny star name. So are we're gonna differs? So we
went with We went with something that felt authentic to
what I've been called my entire life.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Nicky k Yes, thank you whatever you having, Nikki Kae.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I was just saying, I was wondering it just seemed
like that last we believe some things often was off,
there left to be desired.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
That's me being a report of this.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
That's me being a last bit of investigative reporting. All right, NICKI,
Rob and I are just talking about it. This series,
this whole playoff for me, but especially this series, nothing
makes sense.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Here.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
We are to game seven, the Thunder, every game favored
by sixty seven eighty nine, and they don't get it done.
In game six, you get a thunder, big time thunder victory.
Worst thing for me was they did it easily, and
they got their Halliburton got the rest. Other guys got
the rest, and they got TJ. McConnell and nim Hart
feeling good and playing another good, too great game. And
(24:41):
so now here we are game seven. What did your
takeaway from six? What was what happened?
Speaker 10 (24:46):
The most frightening thing in the terms of I have
to say, coming into this being in Oklahoma City, having
covered this team, I want to see that city, you know,
celebrated finals likely I truly do, knowing what the Thunder
means so Calaholma City. But what I saw in game
(25:08):
six was a tight, tight, tight team that forgot how
to play true to its identity. They didn't right, They
didn't have a turnover, They didn't in the first half day.
Their assists, they had three assists through the first half.
It was it was very inauthentic to thunder basketball and
(25:28):
the basketball that got them to be this, this behemous
of a team to this point. So I'm honestly the
flag has been raised in terms of a little bit
of concern, especially when you look at how special this Pacers.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
There you go, team of destiny.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
This is what I was saying, Like they have buck
the odds in every series and they shouldn't be winning.
And they got new life and they got rest in
game six, Nikki. And if you're if you think are
you just going to show up to OKC and they're
gonna roll over, You're gonna be in trouble.
Speaker 10 (26:05):
I'm an eternal optimist. I was at the Western Conference
Finals Game one, and I know I know what Shae
Shaye means to the city. I know what this like
when you look at the components of this thunder ruster
and like how they play, especially with their defensive identity
and and the clinic they put on in game five,
(26:25):
right and what and how lou Door just shut Halliburton down.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
Like that was special, but.
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Just the way they they they choked.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
I don't don't.
Speaker 10 (26:40):
I don't want to say it. I mean, I know
that's a that's a taboo word when we're talking sports,
but this was not a great showing on any level
of what of the sal and the way they play.
So now that makes me a little bit concerned. I
know they have a tremendous home court advantage in this season,
(27:01):
but we saw what they did pushing the Nugget Nuggets
this seven games. But like, it is something.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
It is a game with.
Speaker 10 (27:09):
The magic of the Pacers and with everything that's on
the line and the onus that's on this Thunder franchise
to bring home you know, the first ever Larry O'Brien.
Like I I say, this is like, this is a
really close one. And I had the Thunder winning this
series in five.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, I had him in five to two and they
obviously had the chance to make a six, but that
was not the case.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Nicki k is our guest.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
You can see her on Spectrum News one and also
Spectrum Sportsnet as well. Uh Nikki going going into this game,
chet was it four points? I mean, he looked bad,
he looked out of place. In an Airdal replay right
now as they speak. He did a lot of one
on one and so did the other guys. What do
you make of their ability to revise and get back
(27:59):
to the game play and had work for them. Do
you think they're sitting there thinking the same thing as you, guys,
Just get back to who we are and will be good.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
Well, I think this all actually comes to Carlisle, coach
Carlisle and what he's able to draw for Indiana. Like
but on paper, Indiana is a lesser team than what
the Thunder are and what they've been able to accomplish.
Yet they've been able to overachieve time and time again,
(28:26):
what since January of this year. And I attributed that
to Carlisle. And now that they've been able to eliminate
Chet or find a way to, you know, make him
non threatening, it's either got to be what the players
can produce on the court for Oklahoma City or it's
going to come up to the magic of Indiana time
(28:49):
and time again. And and like, I don't it's this
series has been so back and forth on so many
levels and we've gotten everything out of it. Calvin like it,
I just yeah, Chet needs to rise to meet the moment.
But if Carlisle has put his players in a position
that they've figured out this.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Guy who and give it, give it all.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
The chet, Like right, he's been overcoming injuries, so this
is his real first postseason right push and and his moment.
I mean, as for a lot of the players at
this stage, like there's a reason these two teams haven't
been on this final stage before. But it's it's I'm
(29:30):
very intrigued to see if it is a solution that
Carlisle has figured out or if it was a poor
performance on chests part.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
If the thunder lose, this will be enormous because there
was such you guys talked about it. Rob Gau, producer
had him in four and most people, yeah, I was crazy,
but everybody had him in five. They just thought it
was a mismatch that what's better, They've been good all
(29:59):
year and that's not Indiana played well since January, but
still coming in they were underdogs in every series. So
even if they played well, people still thought they didn't
match up or they.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Couldn't beat the team that they played. And this would
be huge because.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
I think people would look back and then wonder about
the Thunder and really how good they were or did
they choke or were they not experienced? The big talk
Nikki was that they weren't experienced enough, that young teams
don't win like this because they don't have the experience
of being there, and that was a concern for people.
Speaker 10 (30:36):
Well, I think the narrative is twofold, right. I think
on one level, we got to give credit to this
Indiana team that I think by and large, a huge,
a huge contingent of media did not see coming. I
think that's one part of it. This Indiana team is special.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
They have that sauce.
Speaker 10 (30:58):
Nobody saw them pushing this to seven. If they pull
it off, this will be a team that's talked about
for years to come. But I think in a bigger picture,
it's not just necessarily about this young thunder team. I
think it's about the ghosts that haunt Oklahoma City because
it was the team of James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Kevin
(31:19):
Durant pushing the Miami Heat in the finals and then
be like, hey, this window is going to be forever.
This is a young thunder team there, and then before
you know it, James Harden's gone, It's Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant,
and they never get and then they get beat by
the Warriors in the twenty sixteen Western Conference Finals. And
it's Sam Presty who's the archetype and the mastermind, and
(31:43):
he's been a masterful job and he has people saying, oh, Okay,
this could be the worst iteration of this thunder squad.
They're going to win, not one, not two, not whatever,
like how many how many rings are coming to Oka?
See I think that's the bigger, like right like picture
of this team and the ghost that Sam Presty is chasing,
(32:08):
which to no fault of his own, it just shows
how hard it is to win an NBA championship.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
No, that's a great point. Thirty seconds or less. Kevin Durant, love, beloved,
hated in that town. What's what's the what's the vibe
for him?
Speaker 10 (32:24):
Oh ce celebrate Sam Presty. He's laid it all out there.
He's not going anywhere. And uh, I know, I know
the Lakers have got deep pockets. Now people are like,
oh yeah, let's let's bring Presty in. But he's on
a mission and he's gonna he's gonna bring it to Okay.
See that's my take. But hopefully it's this year thunder
(32:47):
and seven.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Right, Well, that's what they're hoping for. That's what I picked.
I picked them to win, But my guys, I don't
know at this point. Nikki, thank you, always appreciate you.
Speaker 10 (32:54):
Love you guys.
Speaker 1 (32:55):

a week. Like I've had a couple of days off. Yeah,
I've gone somewhere for two days. That's not a vacation.
That's like a couple of days. I'm talking about where
I'm going to be gone for two weekends and you know,

That's what I'm saying, and I'm not I'm not knocking it.
Like the other guys who were catchers. There was no
d H like Johnny Bench or whatever. They had to
catch him be behind the plate the whole time. And
I'm not knocking them. So okay, not a not a lot.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
But he does DH all right. I said, I'm not
trying to so it wasn't the fool pool pool. It
was like just pool.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Yeah, this was this was this was this was a
pooh pooh platter. It wasn't a fool me. It was
just a little pick which we got less than two
minutes real quick. You like that boxing knockout bonus that
they're trying to do for this Crawford and yeah, I
saw that.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
I don't know, I mean that feels gimmicky to me. Well,
I mean, hello boxing, no, but but but you don't
need to do that, like that should just be a
part of it. That's something that a fighter is looking for,
trying to get not trying to get a knockout will
get you knocked out when you leave itself open, because
you know, it takes something especial to get a knockout,
and if you leave yourself susceptible, you could get knocked.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Out, especially this caliber boxer. I mean, you're talking about
the two maybe the two best of this generation the
last fifteen years with Bud and Canelo, and uh you
know so I think these are two that we don't
have to worry about because the whole point was the
guy who's running the Saudi you know, the Saudi Prince Guy.
He said, uh, what do you call it? The Tom
and Jerry? You don't anymore Tom and Jerry fights.
Speaker 1 (39:27):

I get what he's saying about the people running around.
We saw Floyd Mayweather and but.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
You ain't got to worry about that. With Canelo and Hunters,
they chase you down.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
You know what I'm saying, Like a lot of them
fights like like it just it's let me tell you
something on appetized.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
He's got some money.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
They over there just buying up everybody, golfers, fighters, boxers.

Did you ever think that? No, because I was crazy,
like crazy.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
I was.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
My friends were like, dude, are you okay.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Like crazy about her? Yeah, like that if I can
get personal. Did you ever notice when it switched?
Speaker 7 (05:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, you know. And that's that's the like people ask
you all.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
The time about like getting divorced or whatever, and I'm
just gonna say this one thing, and this is really
and and you'll know it.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
It's when you don't care anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Like there comes a point where you know, like there's
this friction and you just don't care.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
You've met your limit, yeah, and you just go like.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Okay, I don't care. What's she at. I don't care.
I don't care. And that's when you know, like it's.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
That's a good point because if you're still with you, like,
I want to make this right, this out, I was wrong?
What do I need to do? Do I need therapy?
Do we need couples? There?
Speaker 4 (06:11):
And you're just like right and you get to that
point all right. Justin is our producer and for Rob
g Rob Anniversary about divorce court talk.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
The worst part about it is somebody right now is
getting divorced because they heard it.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Like, I don't care.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
What's the less time I thought about it.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
It's a dude driving right now looking at his wife.
I don't even care what am I? Uncle Rob said,
it's that time I feel bad now. Alex big brother
Dove is gonna say, fight for the love. People, fight
for the love.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Alex is our engineer, Steve de Segre, Steve anchor desk and.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Of course never heard of him. Elijah never heard of him.
It's our social media Google.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yes, Elijah, all right, Hey, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
We got a lot to get to. You want to
hear from you as well. Don't forget about our number
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We do because
last night it was supposed to be a crowning for
the OKC Thunder the Patriots with their gimpie star Halliburton,
and even though it was in uh Indiana, most people
(07:19):
thought this is just the inevitable. And instead the Pagers
didn't just win, they demolished them. And I don't know
what I think they the Thunder had the wrong mindset.
They just weren't ready for this game for whatever reason
or you know, and that's why you got all the
NBA menus talking about this league is so rigged and
(07:41):
fixed because it just looks like, how did they go
from getting beat down the game before to the Thunder?
You know, the Pagers all of a sudden having a
twenty two point lead at halftime, you know, where the
game and they maintained it and Halliburton didn't go crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
What do you have?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Fourteen points? I was gonna say thirteen. And he played fine,
he played only twenty three minutes. Of course they didn't
have to play him a lot of minutes. They're up
by twenty two points for most of the game. But
now here we are, and Kelvin, I mean I said
this before, and you know, I picked the Pagerson six
and my whole thing was it just looked like a
team of destiny because of the way that this whole
(08:20):
ride has been and coming back when they should be
counted out and whatnot, and now here they are with
their guy, their magical guy in Halibert, who didn't have
to play a million minutes to just survive to win
that game, so he's not burnt out. And then they
have off till Sunday. You know, even though it's on
the road, I feel more confident than ever that they're
(08:42):
going to win the championship. And ok C is the
tight one. They're the young ones, They're the ones that
are gonna have to answer the bell. And if you
fall behind early at home and the crowd you could
feel it, you know what, like there's a lot Indiana
to me, playing with house money on the road, no expectations.
(09:04):
They're eight seven point underdogs, right, that's not a close.
It's not two points three point. This is they should
lose and okayse he should win. So I'm feeling good
and I think that the Pacers are going to do
what we I can't imagine that they were gonna do
until the playoffs actually started.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I think they're gonna win the championship.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Scrap everything I ever thought about basketball, Scrap everything that
makes sense, scrap all the logic, scrap all the well,
if you look at this and fundamentally, if you know
this and the numbers say, because this has been the
wildest playoff, right I can remember in quite some time. Right,
you got a Pistons team that makes it. They win
like thirty games more than they did the year before.
That comes out the blue, even if you thought they'd
(09:47):
be better. They get in the posts. You know, well,
where did that come from? You got a nick team
that was underachieving all year. You kind of wanted more
for them. They couldn't beat the good teams.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
What do they do? They beat the Pistons in they
go beat.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
The Celtics and you're like, wait, the Celtics, they're supposed
to be in the championship, trying to be you know,
two time champ or you know, back to back. They
get knocked out, and then Cleveland has been looking like
a world beater on the East while OKAC was a
world beater on the West, and Cleveland gets knocked out.
Tyree's Halliburton has made more game winners than some people's
entire fifteen to twenty year careers.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
In one post, locking up Steph Curry.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
This I'm just saying, and this is not so none
of this has made since. And that is why this postseason,
this finals hasn't even made since. Now here's where the
thunder went wrong. The thunder got in there and you've
been you've done this before. It's a beautiful summer day.
(10:39):
You can smell the food, the barbecues there. They started
to smell the champagne. They started already tasted it. They
could already see the balloons getting ready to drop. And
they got in there and just thought, man, we got
to show up and do what we do and we're
automatically gonna win. And they forgot the Pacers have been
a desperate team that has fought all year, that has
come back multiple times, and that was not gonna just
(10:59):
lay down. And they got in there and already tastes
in the champagne and thinking all we got to do
is show up and we'll be fine. And that was
not the case, and the worst case scenario happened. They
gave the Pacers starters a lot of rest, in particular
Tyrese Halliburton.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That's the part like it wasn't a nail bier where it.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Banged up.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
He's tired he got to relax, get his shot going,
feeling comfortable, feeling good. TJ McDonald McConnell had another game
where he played very well twelve.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Nine and six. Keep his dad off steals.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Give it that gear was on NBA TV. Get dad,
stay off the TV. We are Tyrese Halliburton, Dad, he's
got that. He's a dad of the postseason. But he's
feeling good, playing well. Nimhar plays great seventeen, So you
got the guys who will be playing bigger minutes in
place of Tyre's Halliburton playing very well, in confident and
he got to play well enough and only played twenty
(11:57):
two minutes and he gets an extra day off again,
three days resting up.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
That was the worst case scenario.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Now the worst worst would have been had that was
at home, and now the Pacers would be going back home.
Now at least the Thunders still have it at home.
But if you're SGA, this is what you are. The
MVP for your team is gonna perform better. The role
player is gonna play better at home, just like the
same thing happened with the Pacers, and SGA needs to
show why he's the MVP. He did not play well,
(12:23):
is his worst game of this this finals run. He
looked mortal and he needs to show them what's up.
But all logic is out the window this postseason. For me,
this makes no sense. The Pacers being there, the thunder,
you know, getting them, have them competing to a game seven,
None of this makes sense except for they have been
the two best teams, as I keep saying, since January first,
(12:46):
and maybe that's what we got all the way to
the Game seven.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
But I think that the point you're making is the
best one is that they didn't just give them new life.
They allowed them to coast through Game six, so that
now the they're rested, rested and ready to go energetic.
And there is pressure. I don't could anybody says, man shot,
it's so heavy. There's pressure on the home team. And
(13:11):
the last time we had a Game seven was when
Lebron and the Cavaliers won Game seven. Remember this is
so eerie because and once not three to one. But
if you remember the uh, the Warriors had now lost
two games in a row all year. They lose three
(13:32):
in a row in order to lose the championship, including
Game seven at home.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
So Game seven at home is not automatic.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Now the reason I'm sticking with the Thunder first of all,
picked them. Second of all, they haven't lost twice. They're
six and oh. We got through a loss. Could this
be the one? You never know? This is the Pacers
were five and oh after loss, including a couple of
games in the finals, and then they finally lost one.
But can they I believe they're gonna get it right.
I believe there guys a bitch players will hit big
(14:00):
shots at home. I believe SGA is gonna put it
in the thirty thirty five to forty piece. And lastly,
you mentioned the Warriors game sevens at home.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
The home team is twenty and.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Four, and I have to just roll with that because
nothing else has made sense.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Suck.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
One thing has to make sense.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Right, So what doesn't make sense is that the Pacers
will be the NBA champs?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
All right?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Where are you? Did the Okse Thunder give new life
to the Pacers? And who you're picking in game seven?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Kelvin sticking with his original pick of the ok See Thunder.
I'm picking with sticking with my original pick which was
the patents and six. I'll take seven if that's what
it takes. Where you we want to hear from you,
who wins and why? It's The Odd Couple on a
what is today flash black Friday? Fast Back Friday. I
(14:59):
know I've been thinking about this vacation for a long time.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
There's just a few things in life you absolutely remember
when it dropped and when it was a thing like
this was just thriller. Come on, man, well but this
was MTV in the video and all that red jacket
and just man. Fox Sports Radio, you boys, Rob Parker,
Kevin Washington on a funky Flashback Friday, DJ Aly Alex
on the Ones and twos.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
For over forty years, sire.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Wreck has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive shit fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options. You
say what, I'll tell you Mobile tire installation go check
that out at tire reck dot com. It is the
way tire buying should be. I don't know what the
heck is going on the NBA Finals. I just rolling
(16:08):
with the thunder. You're rolling with the pacers. This has
been a crazy playoffs eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Makes sense of what you saw, what you've been saying.
By the way, you were right, Rob, I got a
lot of people when I went to the other job,
Spectrum News one makes you check it out the morning
show rig Soon as I walked in the door, I
told you rigged. My NBA is rigged. I was like, wait,
what dude, I didn't even put on a suit yet.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Like words, yeah, uh.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Jabbari in Michigan, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
What's up? Jabari?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Well Sorr everybody? How's it going with dude?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Great? How you?
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
You know?
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Yo?
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Three one three? What up?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
What boss up?
Speaker 8 (16:45):
You already know you are no, but yeah, these finals
have been crazy so far. I and I expect the
way how it's gonna be from the players to the others. Man,
it's so hard but I'm just gonna get straight to
the wint. Game seven. I think I think the Pacers are.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Gonna win it. Wow.
Speaker 8 (17:05):
And the only reason why I think the pacer are
gonna win it because listen, I understand there are stepstans
to the rules where the Celdiers in nineteen sixty nine
won the championship and they were a fourth seed standing
with the Rockets they were a sixty. But those teams
right there, they won a championship before. With the Pacers,
they haven't won a championship. However, they know how to
(17:27):
close the deal. And also they are the only team
that I can remember, for like for a while in
Game seven that doesn't have the pressure to win. Okayc
has all the pressure in twenty sixteen, pass the Warriors
had the pressure. You know, you go back to the
Lakers and the Celdiers beforehand. But the Pacers they have
no pressure, and I believe they're gonna win a close
game against the Thunder.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Question is one of the few times I can't tell
you're wrong. Thanks to Borrow, this has just been a
crazy playoff series.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Who we got.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Robert and Queens, You're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio what's up?
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Robert Quinny, as great greatest talkie, as the always guy,
appreciate it was a pleasure. Yes, yes, okayc plans. Don't worry.
Things will be back to long with tomorrow night on
Sunday night shape. But it's gonna have our thirty five Indian.
It's gonna fall behind early like they always do in Okay. See,
they're not gonna come back this time.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Easy cover on the eight and a half. Whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I do think the Thunder gonna win.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I don't think it'll be too big, but I will
say this, that first quarter, the pressures on those thundershooters,
because all you guys lost, you lost Game six, You
were up, you're feeling good, you were tasting the bubbly,
and that those shots.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
A little heavy, your legs a little wait for a minute.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
And now I think you saw the same thing with
the Pacers last night. They were oh for eight at first,
a little heavy, like we can't lose, we can't lose
until they finally settled down. So I think it's gonna
take the Thunder a little bit to get settled. But
I do expect I do expect them to win but man,
it's been a tough series.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
No doubt.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Brandon Riverside, California. You're in the eye couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
What's up beat?
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Good?
Speaker 9 (18:59):
I'm good fellas going on. But hey, so I'm I'm
I'm straight excited because I had the patients in seventh
and that's the pool that I'm in at work on
the line. So me and me and the guy he
got Okay, see a seven I think faces in seven.
So I'm i'm, I'm I'm ecstatic right there. So and
(19:21):
also this this has been the series of benches, So
whoever bench scores the most usually wins, that wins that game.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
I'm not worried about patients.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
Going back to ok s because the patients hasn't been
following the rules all players. Every time somebody come up
with a game player and I went a dist them too,
I'd be one of the ones like, oh, they would
never be. They're not going to be. They're not gonna be,
no team, and they find a way. You're right, Rob, it's.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
A destiny's destiny.
Speaker 9 (19:51):
It feel that your destiny.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, no doubt more. Quarter game seven, was it still destiny?
Speaker 7 (19:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
No, if they lose it was just a really good team.
That was a surprise.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, you have to actually win it. Okay, what a
destiny to be right? All right, appreciate the calls. Uh
we have on the way. We got Nicky k from
Spectrum La of course. Uh, what works with me? We'll
talk some more hoops with her. She covered the thunder
for some years. But right now we've got to get
you sett on. What's trending with Steve the Segastick.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Hello, we had a game of Wrigley Field, Chicago today
and by the way, former Cub Sammy Sosa was honored
at Wrigley his first visit there in over twenty years.
Seattle pulled away for a nine to four win over
the Cubs cal Rolly with two more homers. He has
twenty nine this year, which is a new record for
a catcher before the All Star break. In the game
at Pittsburgh right now, Jacob de Gram is on hands three.
(20:43):
Nothing is his lead against the Pirates. In the bottom
of the fourth, Jacob de Gram on the mound and
got benefit of a couple of cheap runs first and
may make it stand. He enters with a six and
two record two point one nine ERA. As for the
golf well. Scotti Scheffler's in the mix for the league
going to the weekend. In fact, he shares the second
round lead at the Travelers at nine under par with
(21:05):
Justin Thomas and Tommy Fleetwood. Caitlin Clark, Indiana leads all
players in voting for the WNBA All Star Game, more
than a half million votes so far. By the way,
the Angels manager Ron Washington is out indefinitely due to
health reasons tonight, and the Dodger and Padre managers will
be skipping their games tonight after they get to know
you hit batters last night to finish the four game
(21:27):
series in LA between San Diego and the Dodgers. So
and they can't appeal. They have to serve their suspensions tonight.
So that's Mike Schild for the San Diego game and
Dave Roberts for the Dodger game. But the Podre closer
Robert Suarez gets a three game suspension, and we'll appeal
back to you.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Thank you, Steve, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
See our couple Rob Parker Kelvin Washington on a funky
flashback Friday. We're gonna have conversation a little bit later
about that. As those all those suspensions came out and
just the series as a whole. We kind of hit
on it a couple of times, and yeah, is another
year we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Also, we're going to talk about the Sammy Sosa that well.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Yeah, well looking forward to that too. He looks like
he's back to back to normal.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
That's that's. That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
He's back to uh his melanatedself, That's all I'm gonna say.
Right there, I'm good, all right, Nikki Kay Spectrum News one,
Spectrum l A.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
You can't afford a full low last name, just Kase.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Hey, hey, don't do my don't do my little sister
like that I saw.
Speaker 10 (22:29):
You want to know the story behind this roum?
Speaker 8 (22:32):
Yes, so I have a very German.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
Last name and growing up, growing up, every every teacher
could never say it. That makes it starts with the K,
so they would look at me in the classroom. You know,
I'm eight years old, Nikki Ka.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
That makes that makes so much sense of all, Nikki,
I'm gonna need to know you last name so I
can at least give it an attempt.
Speaker 10 (22:55):
Listen, I don't want people googling me.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Don't do it, don't do it.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
I don't want people know my deep dark right, my
gpa which way MAGNETU bla.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
You say it's crazy because I remember in second grade
there was a Greek girl And only reason I tell
you why she was Greek is because of her name,
and uh, I could imagine being to you. I've never
forgot her name because it's so you know, nik Unique
Sally Papas.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that is Greek as can be.
That is so.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
My uncle was in weather and he tried to get
me to have He was like reeling off the alternate names.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
He was a weather man.
Speaker 10 (23:36):
He's like, this is what you could be, this is
who you could be in And I was like, I
would workshop them amongst my friends, and a lot of
times I got hey, you know Nicky, Nicky Haley, Nicky Ryan.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That's a that's a.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
Porny star name. So are we're gonna differs? So we
went with We went with something that felt authentic to
what I've been called my entire life.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Nicky k Yes, thank you whatever you having, Nikki Kae.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I was just saying, I was wondering it just seemed
like that last we believe some things often was off,
there left to be desired.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
That's me being a report of this.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
That's me being a last bit of investigative reporting. All right, NICKI,
Rob and I are just talking about it. This series,
this whole playoff for me, but especially this series, nothing
makes sense.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Here.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
We are to game seven, the Thunder, every game favored
by sixty seven eighty nine, and they don't get it done.
In game six, you get a thunder, big time thunder victory.
Worst thing for me was they did it easily, and
they got their Halliburton got the rest. Other guys got
the rest, and they got TJ. McConnell and nim Hart
feeling good and playing another good, too great game. And
(24:41):
so now here we are game seven. What did your
takeaway from six? What was what happened?
Speaker 10 (24:46):
The most frightening thing in the terms of I have
to say, coming into this being in Oklahoma City, having
covered this team, I want to see that city, you know,
celebrated finals likely I truly do, knowing what the Thunder
means so Calaholma City. But what I saw in game
(25:08):
six was a tight, tight, tight team that forgot how
to play true to its identity. They didn't right, They
didn't have a turnover, They didn't in the first half day.
Their assists, they had three assists through the first half.
It was it was very inauthentic to thunder basketball and
(25:28):
the basketball that got them to be this, this behemous
of a team to this point. So I'm honestly the
flag has been raised in terms of a little bit
of concern, especially when you look at how special this Pacers.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
There you go, team of destiny.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
This is what I was saying, Like they have buck
the odds in every series and they shouldn't be winning.
And they got new life and they got rest in
game six, Nikki. And if you're if you think are
you just going to show up to OKC and they're
gonna roll over, You're gonna be in trouble.
Speaker 10 (26:05):
I'm an eternal optimist. I was at the Western Conference
Finals Game one, and I know I know what Shae
Shaye means to the city. I know what this like
when you look at the components of this thunder ruster
and like how they play, especially with their defensive identity
and and the clinic they put on in game five,
(26:25):
right and what and how lou Door just shut Halliburton down.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
Like that was special, but.
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Just the way they they they choked.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
I don't don't.
Speaker 10 (26:40):
I don't want to say it. I mean, I know
that's a that's a taboo word when we're talking sports,
but this was not a great showing on any level
of what of the sal and the way they play.
So now that makes me a little bit concerned. I
know they have a tremendous home court advantage in this season,
(27:01):
but we saw what they did pushing the Nugget Nuggets
this seven games. But like, it is something.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
It is a game with.
Speaker 10 (27:09):
The magic of the Pacers and with everything that's on
the line and the onus that's on this Thunder franchise
to bring home you know, the first ever Larry O'Brien.
Like I I say, this is like, this is a
really close one. And I had the Thunder winning this
series in five.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, I had him in five to two and they
obviously had the chance to make a six, but that
was not the case.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Nicki k is our guest.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
You can see her on Spectrum News one and also
Spectrum Sportsnet as well. Uh Nikki going going into this game,
chet was it four points? I mean, he looked bad,
he looked out of place. In an Airdal replay right
now as they speak. He did a lot of one
on one and so did the other guys. What do
you make of their ability to revise and get back
(27:59):
to the game play and had work for them. Do
you think they're sitting there thinking the same thing as you, guys,
Just get back to who we are and will be good.
Speaker 10 (28:06):
Well, I think this all actually comes to Carlisle, coach
Carlisle and what he's able to draw for Indiana. Like
but on paper, Indiana is a lesser team than what
the Thunder are and what they've been able to accomplish.
Yet they've been able to overachieve time and time again,
(28:26):
what since January of this year. And I attributed that
to Carlisle. And now that they've been able to eliminate
Chet or find a way to, you know, make him
non threatening, it's either got to be what the players
can produce on the court for Oklahoma City or it's
going to come up to the magic of Indiana time
(28:49):
and time again. And and like, I don't it's this
series has been so back and forth on so many
levels and we've gotten everything out of it. Calvin like it,
I just yeah, Chet needs to rise to meet the moment.
But if Carlisle has put his players in a position
that they've figured out this.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Guy who and give it, give it all.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
The chet, Like right, he's been overcoming injuries, so this
is his real first postseason right push and and his moment.
I mean, as for a lot of the players at
this stage, like there's a reason these two teams haven't
been on this final stage before. But it's it's I'm
(29:30):
very intrigued to see if it is a solution that
Carlisle has figured out or if it was a poor
performance on chests part.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
If the thunder lose, this will be enormous because there
was such you guys talked about it. Rob Gau, producer
had him in four and most people, yeah, I was crazy,
but everybody had him in five. They just thought it
was a mismatch that what's better, They've been good all
(29:59):
year and that's not Indiana played well since January, but
still coming in they were underdogs in every series. So
even if they played well, people still thought they didn't
match up or they.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Couldn't beat the team that they played. And this would
be huge because.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
I think people would look back and then wonder about
the Thunder and really how good they were or did
they choke or were they not experienced? The big talk
Nikki was that they weren't experienced enough, that young teams
don't win like this because they don't have the experience
of being there, and that was a concern for people.
Speaker 10 (30:36):
Well, I think the narrative is twofold, right. I think
on one level, we got to give credit to this
Indiana team that I think by and large, a huge,
a huge contingent of media did not see coming. I
think that's one part of it. This Indiana team is special.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
They have that sauce.
Speaker 10 (30:58):
Nobody saw them pushing this to seven. If they pull
it off, this will be a team that's talked about
for years to come. But I think in a bigger picture,
it's not just necessarily about this young thunder team. I
think it's about the ghosts that haunt Oklahoma City because
it was the team of James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Kevin
(31:19):
Durant pushing the Miami Heat in the finals and then
be like, hey, this window is going to be forever.
This is a young thunder team there, and then before
you know it, James Harden's gone, It's Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant,
and they never get and then they get beat by
the Warriors in the twenty sixteen Western Conference Finals. And
it's Sam Presty who's the archetype and the mastermind, and
(31:43):
he's been a masterful job and he has people saying, oh, Okay,
this could be the worst iteration of this thunder squad.
They're going to win, not one, not two, not whatever,
like how many how many rings are coming to Oka?
See I think that's the bigger, like right like picture
of this team and the ghost that Sam Presty is chasing,
(32:08):
which to no fault of his own, it just shows
how hard it is to win an NBA championship.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
No, that's a great point. Thirty seconds or less. Kevin Durant, love, beloved,
hated in that town. What's what's the what's the vibe
for him?
Speaker 10 (32:24):
Oh ce celebrate Sam Presty. He's laid it all out there.
He's not going anywhere. And uh, I know, I know
the Lakers have got deep pockets. Now people are like,
oh yeah, let's let's bring Presty in. But he's on
a mission and he's gonna he's gonna bring it to Okay.
See that's my take. But hopefully it's this year thunder
(32:47):
and seven.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Right, Well, that's what they're hoping for. That's what I picked.
I picked them to win, But my guys, I don't
know at this point. Nikki, thank you, always appreciate you.
Speaker 10 (32:54):
Love you guys.
Speaker 1 (32:55):

He d H.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
That's what I'm saying, and I'm not I'm not knocking it.
Like the other guys who were catchers. There was no
d H like Johnny Bench or whatever. They had to
catch him be behind the plate the whole time. And
I'm not knocking them. So okay, not a not a lot.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
But he does DH all right. I said, I'm not
trying to so it wasn't the fool pool pool. It
was like just pool.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Yeah, this was this was this was this was a
pooh pooh platter. It wasn't a fool me. It was
just a little pick which we got less than two
minutes real quick. You like that boxing knockout bonus that
they're trying to do for this Crawford and yeah, I
saw that.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
I don't know, I mean that feels gimmicky to me. Well,
I mean, hello boxing, no, but but but you don't
need to do that, like that should just be a
part of it. That's something that a fighter is looking for,
trying to get not trying to get a knockout will
get you knocked out when you leave itself open, because
you know, it takes something especial to get a knockout,
and if you leave yourself susceptible, you could get knocked.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Out, especially this caliber boxer. I mean, you're talking about
the two maybe the two best of this generation the
last fifteen years with Bud and Canelo, and uh you
know so I think these are two that we don't
have to worry about because the whole point was the
guy who's running the Saudi you know, the Saudi Prince Guy.
He said, uh, what do you call it? The Tom
and Jerry? You don't anymore Tom and Jerry fights.
Speaker 1 (39:27):

Speaker 4 (39:27):
I get what he's saying about the people running around.
We saw Floyd Mayweather and but.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
You ain't got to worry about that. With Canelo and Hunters,
they chase you down.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
You know what I'm saying, Like a lot of them
fights like like it just it's let me tell you
something on appetized.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
He's got some money.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
They over there just buying up everybody, golfers, fighters, boxers.
