Here we start out the green lights on. Now the
green lights on, green light go. So we begin in
(01:38):
the Rocky Mountains, the opening round of the playoffs, continuing
Game two Nuggets and Lakers in the Mile High City.
And I was getting comments in my email about, oh,
you're not gonna leave with the Laker game.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, You're.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Not You're gonna avoid it, and yeah, okay, I'm leading
with the Laker game.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I don't know if you saw the game or not.
Maybe he didn't watch Jamal Murray have a night.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well, how about have about a ten minute stretch Jamal Murray,
who struggled, he sucked at a time you cannot suck
for the first three quarters of the game, and then
he hopped on the magic carpet ride down the stretch.
Had fourteen points. But nobody's gonna talk about those fourteen points.
They're only going to talk about one play. Let's go
(02:26):
to the audio tape. He's at the mid court circle,
four seconds, three seconds left.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Why are they not valing jumper?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Murray got Therd Daffer bounds to come back.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
They come back from.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Twenty points down. They went gout number two one oh
one toninety nine is the final and the Lakers get
take that out. On the way out, I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Gonna go on a limit, say this to the Nuggets
radio broadcast. Yeah anyway, So listen at Denver. As you
heard in the call, they're storming back down twenty and
they take a two to zero series lead the best
of seven series. Lebron James squad already up against the Ropes,
against the team that they seemingly do not know how
to beat. So we turn to an old friend, a
(03:19):
reliable friend this time of the year, the blame game.
We get to play the blame game. I love playing
the blame game. Now, the better story is in the
losing locker room. So that's where we're gonna focus. Congratulations
to Denver, but a lot of people kissing their ass.
We're gonna focus on the losers, and the losers are
the Lakers. They're the losers. In case you're wondering who
the losers are, the Lakers are the losers in this game.
(03:41):
So let us discuss the question who gets the biggest
piece of the Lakers blame bacon wrapped hot talk. We're
gonna slice up the bacon rap hot talk because those
are big in LA. And then the biggest chunk of
the blame version of the bacon wrap tot talk. So
I've got biblical, well jumbo size and cartoonish, and we
(04:04):
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make rocky mountain noises. I've eaten and the
Lakers can eat on their flight back from Colorado.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
So a listen.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
If you're going to talk about handing out a chunk
of the blame sausage, it starts with Anthony Davis, which
is bizarre. If you didn't see the second half of
the game, you'd like, what are you talking about? Anthony
Davis had a great game. Why would you say that
you don't know basketball? That's why you're doing overnights, that's
what you tell me. Okay, fine, but this game was
(04:36):
a d in a nutshell. That's why he's got no
legitimate championships, no real accomplishments in his career. He's a fraud.
This game is an example of that. It's always a
roller coaster ride. It's a biblical situation with Anthony Davis. Right,
it's the unibrow if you look at the way he
played in this game. So it's a nutshell. It is
a nutshell of the way he's played most of his career,
(04:58):
because he's a like a perfect player for Lebron James
to play with, because Lebron likes to call himself King James. Well,
Anthony Davis is like the King James Bible. Here, he's
a Biblical player. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
Because he had a virtuoso game going for the Lakers
(05:20):
first three courters of the game, thirty two points, ten rebounds,
he was in some foul trouble. But then in the
fourth quarter, the unthinkable, the unimaginable happened for Anthony Davis.
He played ten minutes, took one more shot than my
fat ass and your fat ass took in this game.
One shot. He pitched a shot out. We scored as
(05:41):
many points as Anthony Davis. How great is that? How
wonderful is that?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Master? Absolutely great? Ah so good? Ten minutes, did not score,
did not score.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Meanwhile, it was like a layup line for the Denver Nuggets.
And Anthony Davis will talk about this or later, but
he's complaining that he feels like he's unjustly been robbed
of being Defensive Player of the Year while he was
playing like a matador.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Hoa hole hole ole, you get a layup, you get
a layup. You you gonna you get an open shot.
That was so good.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Oh, it was so good. And then the cherry on
top of the Sunday for me. I don't know about you.
You can call up and tell me you're send your
messages on the internet, on the on the socials. But
not only is Anthony Davis the guy guarding Murray on
the game winning shot. He then falls in to the
Nuggets bench as the crowd is running on the Nugget
(06:42):
players are going great and Anthony Davis is sitting there
like kind of tumbled over as the Nuggets are in
a celebratory mood.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That was awesome. Was so good.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Uh, Now there are others other than the aforementioned Anthony Davis.
How about D'Angelo Russell who had eight points in the
first half, six of seven on the money balls. And
there was a little audiof you're watching the TNT broadcast,
they played some audio of Michael Malone talking to one
of his players and he's like, it's not your fault.
(07:13):
The game plan was to leave D'Angelo Russell open because
he sucks. See you leave him open, let him shoot.
The Nuggets let him open, left him open, and let
him shoot. So he made six of seven in the
first half. Then at halftime. Nothing's changed more in my
lifetime than halftime adjustments. The Nuggets then decided to guard
D'Angelo Russell. How'd that go?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Well?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Not good for D'Angelo in the second half, he was
a big bag of suck, two of six from the
four to one of four on three points. Somebody do
a wellness check on Reggie Miller, who I thought was
massagering D'Angelo Russell.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
You'll see that, you haters.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
He's really good in the first half, and then he
had to play the second half and he sucked. Water
seeks its own level, all right, Now it gets even better.
Lakers coach Darvin Ham, this boso Okay, you know he.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Reminds me of Tom.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
He reminds me of We were talking about letting them
play Joe Joe Mizzoula in Boston and Darmenham. I don't
think he used one challenge to question the officiating at all. Now,
after the game, Darbenham implied that the referees were to
blame for the game two loss. Well, rather than me,
(08:23):
just read the quote. Let's go to the audio tape.
Here's the Lakers coach Darbenham.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Some tough calls, some tough non calls, but you know
you can't use it any of that as an excuse. Ye,
then be ready to make plays whether the whistle gets
blown or not. It's getting real tricky. Go through the season,
games being officiated one way, and then you get in
the playoffs and then it's like, I guess it's up
left to the interpretation of the three individual guys that's
(08:51):
doing the job out there. But all that said, you
just have to know that, Yeah, it's teams. Remember this
feeling as we take it back home to La We
got to give them that same fill in the game three.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
So if you've ever had a job, you've probably gotten
the compliment Sandwich. You know where they they say, oh,
you're doing really well, and then they kill you and
see you suck, and then they finish it up with
a compliment. I've had that many times. If you've heard
the show, you know why. But that was like the
reverse compliment Sandwich. That was like, listen, you can't blame
the referees. Let me blame the referees for thirty seconds
(09:23):
and then I'll say, well, we just got to.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Move on to Game three.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Oh my god, that's a sentien, you know, summing it
up in a brief little package here, Darvinham essentially saying
the games being officiated differently in the postseason and.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
The regid season. That's never happened before.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And Lebron James also complained about the replay Center and
that overturned foul call that would have been against D'Angelo Russell.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
He was upset about that. So where are you at?
Where are you at?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
On Darvinham and Lebron James pointing the finger at the
referees for the Lakers loss.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
So this is.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Not regular size, it's jumbo sized tutzbuok is what it
is that the NBA pulled out one of their heavy
hitters here, Scott Foster, He was the referee, Scott efing
Foster and Denver still won the game. And Darvinham and
Lebron what they're doing here is they're suddenly going into
(10:23):
the confessional. They're both admitting that the Lakers suck and
they're not good enough to compete with the Nuggets, which
we all knew anyway, right But the only way that
this can be a series is with meddling. And I
wouldn't put it past the NBA to medal with this.
But outside of injury, the only way that the Lakers
get back in this series when they go back to
(10:44):
skid Row there in La is if if the officials
come in here and they medal, and that's it. That's
all I mean. And I gotta tell you something. I've
been watching basketball a lot. I'm getting older my entire life.
The Lakers have always gotten the screw job from there.
They never get calls. They never have you experienced that too?
(11:04):
The officials have this clear hatred of Lakers. It's not
like they lead the league in foul attempts pretty much
every year. No, no, not at all. I completely get
what Darvin Hamm is saying. I do I do?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I get it. And Lebron, I mean, has it Lebron
ever gotten a call?
Speaker 6 (11:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Never, doesn't happen, Poor Lebron. Let's have a bake sale.
Where is some money for Lebron?
Speaker 7 (11:29):
All right?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Anyway, the last part of this, so the Nuggets are
up to Oh, how are things looking right now? For
Nikola Jokich, Jamal Murray and the reigning champions of pro
bouncy ball there the Nuggets. So I would say this matchup,
which I'm enjoying the hell out, I want the Lakers
to have a thirty point lead in Game three. I
(11:51):
want them to have a forty point lead in Game
four and blow blow those leads. I think that would
be just wonderful. But it's cartoonish. And here's why I
use the word cartoonish. I'm gonna date myself, but it
reminds me when I was a kid. There was a
Peanuts cartoon and one of the famous season I think
of this in the cartoon bubble in my head, Lebron
James and the Lakers are Charlie Brown. Okay, so they're
(12:13):
Charlie Brown, and then you got the Nuggets and Jokic
and Murray. They're Lucy holding the football and Lebron and
Charlie Brown over there. They think they're gonna kick the
ball and get suckered every time, thinking that Lucy's gonna
hold the ball in place and allow you to kick
the ball and pull it away at the last minute.
(12:35):
The Nuggets are treating the Lakers like silly putty, and
it's marvelous to watch. It is like basketball porn to
watch this. The Nuggets have now won ten straight and
the Lakers. To win this series, by Malard mathis correct,
they will have to win four of the next five.
Four of the next five they will have to win.
(12:55):
So that's gonna take a lot of officiating interference for
that to happen. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
Not all precincts are reporting in, but yes, almost time
for that last supper for Lebron and the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
We are in the air everywhere beside one another as
we get down to Bedrock Coast, the coast, border, the border,
and beyond all the vast, vociferously powerful microphones of fsre
(14:32):
emmating live from climate as we undergo sports climate change
on a nightly basis. We're broadcasting live from the Tyraq

Speaker 3 (14:58):
The Warrior Raider fan think that that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Tire Rack dot Com the Wait Tire Buying Show me
in our lead this hour. Coming from the other half
of the bracket. Now we are going to ignore the
Cleveland Orlando game. There not much to talk about there
but two good games on Turner Sports. The NBA Playoff
doubleheader we mentioned last after just new to the show. Here,
(15:23):
the Lakers gaged a twenty point lead. You know how
harder it is to blow a twenty point lead if
you're good, it's pretty hard. They blew a twenty point
lead against the Denver basketball team, and they did it
in splendid fashion, Jamal Murray hitting a game winning shot
as time expired right in front of the Nuggets bench,
as Anthony Davis fell in to the men, which likely
(15:48):
means he'll be hurt and missed the next game. All right,
So our lead, though, is from Gotham. The undercard featured
the New York Knickerbockers, who gave out a bunch of
tickets celebrities. They make the commoners, the Wall Street crowd
also have to buy tickets, but the celebrities in New
York at free tickets.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
They just can't say.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Anything bad about James Dolan or the Knicks, and they're
allowed to hang out and schmooze. And those are very
expensive tickets. So they were all there. Hey, if you
watch the game, Ben Stiller was hanging out there, Chris Rock.
So in terms of the actual game, a his historical
type situation here, New York was dead for rights. The
(16:28):
last rights were being handed to the Knicks there in
this game, they were gonna become the first home team
to lose in the playoffs. And then New York guard
Dante Stevencenzo the old the Villanova guard, he made a
go ahead three point shot with thirteen seconds to go
in the game, and there was a helter skelter situation.
(16:49):
The Knicks went full Houdini and ended up winning the
game one oh four to one oh one. But the
setup on this the Knicks are up now two to
zero in the series. The X trailed by five points
down five final thirty seconds of the game. Clock running
final thirty second of the game, and it's one of
the all time wackiest playoff comebacks, which would not have
(17:12):
been possible without the generosity of the Philadelphia basketball team.
The rally started with Jalen Brunson, who had been terrible,
just horrific in this game. Jalen Brunson hit a three
pointer that hung around, bounced up on the rim, went
down corner, three point of the ball bounced at that
(17:33):
point it fell in. So at that point it's a
two point game, one on one to ninety nine. There's
twenty seven seconds remaining, so Josh Hart who played every
minute of this game for New York, which is shocking.
It used to not be shocking, but now it's like
you're an iron man. Back before it was just expected.
But anyway, Josh Hart then stole the ball, a ball
from Tyrese Maxi, very generous of Tyrese Maxi to mishandled
(17:59):
the ball.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The Knicks get the.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Ball back and they go out to Devincenzo and and
then he ends up missing. He missed the shot. Oh no, well,
obviously you know what happened.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
The former Clipper Isaiah Hartenstein grabbed the rebound and tossed
it back out to og on Anobi, who then got
the ball back to Devincenzo and bang, he made the
shot there and that put the Knicks up by one.
They would go on and win by three. And that
led to a spicy comment from Joe el nbad after
(18:39):
after the game. Here's a little taste of Joe el
in beiid here on his commentary.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Everybody on the floor was trying to call Tom Mount
myself into the Nico the coach on the saloon, but
that didn't give it to us. But you know, forget
about the Tom there's a bunch of foss.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah. I said, yeah, see that's the money quote, and
that's all we need. We'll get to Nick Nurse in
a minute, but we'll start with Joel Embiids. So you
just heard it, Joel Embiid saying the Knicks loss or
the Sixers loss to the Knicks was efing unacceptable. So
where are you at on that particular quote. So I've
got Fairbanks, worms and jays, and we will combine all
(19:23):
of these things together and we are going to make
a zamboni, which they needed Madison Square Garden, but not
for the Knickerbockers.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
It's the other team that's in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
So my first observation here, My first thought on this
is it is efing unacceptable. But it doesn't go far enough. Okay,
that's number one.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I had to keep the rain on guard there anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
So yeah, the first thought is it doesn't go far
enough to say, hey, it's effing unacceptable. There's a playoffs, right,
not a regular season game, not a regulating but we're talk
about playoffs. Can't do it, can't have it happen. That
was a room service special. That was Santa Claus on
Christmas morning is what it was. That was Hanakah, harry On,
(20:12):
you know, the night of Hanukah. What are you doing
with any kind of discipline? The Sixers closed out the game.
They had a brain fart. There was brain flatulence that
went on by multiple players on the Sixers, and they
sucked at a time he cannot suck. It was low
basketball IQ. They don't want to talk about that. They
just kind of glossed it over. But in the final
(20:33):
seconds the seventy six Ers could not find you could
say they couldn't find the closer. And when they found
the closer, they had the great Pete Fairbanks of the
Tampa Bay Rays there that he was the closer. And
as we learned in a recent episode of the show,
it was an all encompassing type of suck. An all
(20:55):
encompassing type of suck. When you have a five point
lead in thirty seconds of basketball, to close the lead
and you lose the game, that is all.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Encompassing suck is what that is.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Now Philly plans to file a grievance that we do.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
We have Nick Nurse.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Here is Nick Nurse, the coach of the Philadelphia basketball team,
talking about that the final couple of seconds. They tried
to call time out, didn't was not granted. So take
a listen to his complaints.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
Obviously they score, we take a look at getting it
in quick.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
We don't get it in quick.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
I call time out, reffre.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
He looked right at me, ignored me.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
I needed a time out there to advance.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It would have been good.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
I couldn't get it.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
He went on the Sixers to say, through the media
in Philly, they're going to file a grievance with the
NBA over the officiating these first two games, not just
Game two, but the first two games at Madison Square Garden.
So let's wrap this one up. So the Sixers coach,
you just heard it, a little taste of it. Nick
Nurse unhappy, angry they lost the game, and I said,
(22:06):
the officials ignored the timeout call at the end. There
will be a grievance that will be filed here according
to the Philly media. There do the Sixers have a
prayer of winning the grievance over the shoddy officiating. So
the way I will answer this, do they have a
(22:26):
chance of winning?
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
In fact, I would be surprised if the NBA doesn't say, hey,
bad job by us. Now, we screwed that one up.
Should have given you a timeout. But they're not going
to replay the game, so who cares. That's not like
gonna say, all right, everyone back to Madison Square Garden,
will play at four o'clock this afternoon, just to have
the Sixers come back on the train up to New
(22:51):
York and will play the game. They're not gonna do that,
so they'll say, oh, it's a bad job bus. But
as I understand it, maybe I'm wrong on this. It's
up to the discretion of the referee to grant the
time out. They don't have to give you the time out.
And I would assume the referee is are gonna argue, well,
I didn't see it.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
You know what. You weren't clear that you wanted.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
To call the time out, and there's a gray area
here and all that. Anyway, we pivot now to the
award season. And I was not planning on talking about this,
but these quotes are so delicious I have to go
down this road. So they announced over the weekend the
finalists for various awards. The Laker center Anthony Davis was
(23:31):
not one of the finalists for the Defensive Player of
the Year award, and who gives a rats ass? He does,
he gives a rats ass. He gave the mother of
all quotes to a Laker sycophant scribe, saying, quote, I'll
never get it, he said of the Defensive Player.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Of the Year award.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
He then went on to say, they're not giving it
to me the league. Here we go, buckle up. The
league doesn't like me, he stated. The league doesn't like me.
I'm the best defensive player in the league. Close quote.
And I thought it would be appropriate to talk about
this on a night where Anthony Davis absolutely vanished in
(24:13):
a big spot for the Lakers. I thought this would
be perfect, so Anthony Davis said, and again for those
of you that are a little inebriated, Anthony Davis said
that the NBA doesn't like him. That's a great quote,
and that he's never going to win the Defensive Player
of the Year award. Do you have any empathy for
(24:34):
the unibra? So I'll go first. I have none. I
have zero, zero empathy. The word for this is emasculating.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Seriously, Anthony Davis, it's appropriate. He gave these quotes before
he went out and pitched a goose egg, a shutout,
a perfect quarter down the stretch, not even scoring a point,
taking one shot, although I don't even remember taking the
one in the fourth quarter. But this is the kind
of attitude. This is why this guy's a dope. And
then this guy's a Nimrod and a Schmendrick and all
(25:08):
those things. Anthony Davis, he didn't play a lot of
games this Year'll give him that, but his legend has
already inform. We talk a lot about this over the
course of the year. We'll mention this several times. When
the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend
the man that shot Liberty Bounce. The legend of Anthony
Davis is he doesn't play, he's not reliable, and he's
(25:30):
like he's humming bars from this old century.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It's from the thirteenth century. There's a childhood.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Song, a kid's song from Tonga, and it goes something
like that, nobody likes me, everybody hates me. I think
I'll go eat worms. That's essentially what Anthony Davis just
did here. And then he went out after bragging about
how great he is. And I don't remember making any
(25:58):
plays in the fourth quarter to you. Maybe he didn't know.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Maybe I was in a coma or something. I blocked
it out. But booooo, they don't like me.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Oh my god. That shows you the personification of soft,
the living embodiment of soft. And plus we know he
plays with Lebron. If Lebron can't win the Defensive Player
of the Year, Anthony Davis can't win the defensive player
they all right?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Real quick? Final point. The news on.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
The coaching circuit in the NBA involving a podcaster. This
is how pathetic the NBA is. They're not going to
interview podcasters for coaching jobs. Did you see this? Yeah?
Would you support JJ Reddick the podcaster getting the Charlotte
coaching job. He's gonna interview for the job. So I
(26:49):
will go yes on this, I will nod my head. Yes,
I support JJ Reddick getting a coaching job. As long
as he ends his podcast and gets off my television.
I fully support that. A way to go right, and
in fact we will we will fully support him. On
tobacco road, well, we will take him there. We'll buy
him some cigarettes. The Hornets the way I look at
(27:10):
they're irrelevant, right, They're a spam team. They're a philler team.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
They suck.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
They've sucked for years, and they they've tried to hire
real coaches like they know what they're doing, and that
hasn't worked. So why not hire a podcast or why
not go for it? And I have an unpopular opinion
on JJ Reddick because I saw him miss so many
wide open three point shots in the fourth quarter during
the Lob City years. I'm not a fan, but here's
my position on JJ Reddick. I can look that, I
(27:35):
can put that to a side and look past that.
So JJ Redick is not really cut out for sports media.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
He's not. And let me tell you why.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
There was a comment he gave a couple months ago
that just outed him as a total loser and a
guy that can't handle the modern media circuit the way
it works here. Because here's why, it's like the J's
or or the Ojys, the old song from the ojs
back in the seventies, give the people what they want.
(28:06):
JJ Reddick does not believe in giving the people what
they want. JJ's annoyance, right, his annoyance with the fan
who doesn't want to get inside the strategy of basketball,
and he complained about it. He started some fugazi podcast
which likes three people are listening to with Lebron about the.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Strategy of the game.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Who the hell wants to get The answer is nobody, right,
People tune in. It's been proven for generations now. People
tune in for the drama. They don't tune in for
the x's and o's.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
A lot of people are watching.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
They couldn't tell you the difference between a basketball and volleyball,
but they tune in for the drama. And JJ Reddick
doesn't like that. So let him go coach a bunch
of losers in Charlotte and they can win twenty five
or thirty games a year and he can brag about
all his x's and o's, and then, of course, because
of the jockocracy, he'll come back and get a job.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
As a commentator. Again. That's how that works.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Be sure to catch live so the Ben Maller Show
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
This is one gets great.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
Yes, Cooper Loop, Well, Ben, we're gonna we're gonna do
two questions today.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Okay, you already answered one of them, all right? Good?
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
The Chargers are betting favorites to land Jim Harbaugh's old
running back from Michigan, Blake Korham. Some mock drafts have
Korum being the first running back off the board in
the second round. Others have Korum as low as the
fifth best back in the draft and going in the
third round. Ben, how do you think Korum transitions into
the pros?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I think it'll be all right. The better question though, here, Coop,
is is Jim Harbaugh being legit with the football media.
Is he really trying to get all of his Michigan
guys together with the Chargers or is this all a ruse?
Speaker 7 (29:53):
Like?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
What is the truth there?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Because there's there's reports that they want JJ McCarthy. They
already have a quarterback and they I want the want
the offensive lineman from Michigan. Is that all just a
bull crap or is that really what Jim Harbaugh wants?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
That's the better question. I think Cora will be all right,
but he doesn't running backs it's a temporary job. Even
if you're good, you're a temp in the NFL.
Speaker 9 (30:13):
Next, the Cleveland Guardians are the best record in the
AL and have the best point differential in all of baseball.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I think he's called run differential, Coop. But I don't
want to touch up your work there, but yeah, you
know whatever.
Speaker 10 (30:24):
Do you think the Guardians are contenders or pretenders?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Well, they are contenders because of location, location, location. I
know the Royals are playing better than expected, but they
think the White Sox are horrifically bad. I don't think
the Tigers are that good, so that's a bad division.
So by default they are in a playoff position. Now,
do they have a lot of name brand players? No,
(30:48):
most average fans could not name more than a couple
players on the Guardians.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
They're in this, Coop by then we know. Now you
said us, I corrected your work, Coop. You said correct,
you screwed up. I agree with that.

Here we start out the green lights on. Now the
green lights on, green light go. So we begin in
(01:38):
the Rocky Mountains, the opening round of the playoffs, continuing
Game two Nuggets and Lakers in the Mile High City.
And I was getting comments in my email about, oh,
you're not gonna leave with the Laker game.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, You're.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Not You're gonna avoid it, and yeah, okay, I'm leading
with the Laker game.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I don't know if you saw the game or not.
Maybe he didn't watch Jamal Murray have a night.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well, how about have about a ten minute stretch Jamal Murray,
who struggled, he sucked at a time you cannot suck
for the first three quarters of the game, and then
he hopped on the magic carpet ride down the stretch.
Had fourteen points. But nobody's gonna talk about those fourteen points.
They're only going to talk about one play. Let's go
(02:26):
to the audio tape. He's at the mid court circle,
four seconds, three seconds left.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Why are they not valing jumper?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Murray got Therd Daffer bounds to come back.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
They come back from.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Twenty points down. They went gout number two one oh
one toninety nine is the final and the Lakers get
take that out. On the way out, I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Gonna go on a limit, say this to the Nuggets
radio broadcast. Yeah anyway, So listen at Denver. As you
heard in the call, they're storming back down twenty and
they take a two to zero series lead the best
of seven series. Lebron James squad already up against the Ropes,
against the team that they seemingly do not know how
to beat. So we turn to an old friend, a
(03:19):
reliable friend this time of the year, the blame game.
We get to play the blame game. I love playing
the blame game. Now, the better story is in the
losing locker room. So that's where we're gonna focus. Congratulations
to Denver, but a lot of people kissing their ass.
We're gonna focus on the losers, and the losers are
the Lakers. They're the losers. In case you're wondering who
the losers are, the Lakers are the losers in this game.
(03:41):
So let us discuss the question who gets the biggest
piece of the Lakers blame bacon wrapped hot talk. We're
gonna slice up the bacon rap hot talk because those
are big in LA. And then the biggest chunk of
the blame version of the bacon wrap tot talk. So
I've got biblical, well jumbo size and cartoonish, and we
(04:04):
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make rocky mountain noises. I've eaten and the
Lakers can eat on their flight back from Colorado.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
So a listen.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
If you're going to talk about handing out a chunk
of the blame sausage, it starts with Anthony Davis, which
is bizarre. If you didn't see the second half of
the game, you'd like, what are you talking about? Anthony
Davis had a great game. Why would you say that
you don't know basketball? That's why you're doing overnights, that's
what you tell me. Okay, fine, but this game was
(04:36):
a d in a nutshell. That's why he's got no
legitimate championships, no real accomplishments in his career. He's a fraud.
This game is an example of that. It's always a
roller coaster ride. It's a biblical situation with Anthony Davis. Right,
it's the unibrow if you look at the way he
played in this game. So it's a nutshell. It is
a nutshell of the way he's played most of his career,
(04:58):
because he's a like a perfect player for Lebron James
to play with, because Lebron likes to call himself King James. Well,
Anthony Davis is like the King James Bible. Here, he's
a Biblical player. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
Because he had a virtuoso game going for the Lakers
(05:20):
first three courters of the game, thirty two points, ten rebounds,
he was in some foul trouble. But then in the
fourth quarter, the unthinkable, the unimaginable happened for Anthony Davis.
He played ten minutes, took one more shot than my
fat ass and your fat ass took in this game.
One shot. He pitched a shot out. We scored as
(05:41):
many points as Anthony Davis. How great is that? How
wonderful is that?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Master? Absolutely great? Ah so good? Ten minutes, did not score,
did not score.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Meanwhile, it was like a layup line for the Denver Nuggets.
And Anthony Davis will talk about this or later, but
he's complaining that he feels like he's unjustly been robbed
of being Defensive Player of the Year while he was
playing like a matador.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Hoa hole hole ole, you get a layup, you get
a layup. You you gonna you get an open shot.
That was so good.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Oh, it was so good. And then the cherry on
top of the Sunday for me. I don't know about you.
You can call up and tell me you're send your
messages on the internet, on the on the socials. But
not only is Anthony Davis the guy guarding Murray on
the game winning shot. He then falls in to the
Nuggets bench as the crowd is running on the Nugget
(06:42):
players are going great and Anthony Davis is sitting there
like kind of tumbled over as the Nuggets are in
a celebratory mood.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That was awesome. Was so good.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Uh, Now there are others other than the aforementioned Anthony Davis.
How about D'Angelo Russell who had eight points in the
first half, six of seven on the money balls. And
there was a little audiof you're watching the TNT broadcast,
they played some audio of Michael Malone talking to one
of his players and he's like, it's not your fault.
(07:13):
The game plan was to leave D'Angelo Russell open because
he sucks. See you leave him open, let him shoot.
The Nuggets let him open, left him open, and let
him shoot. So he made six of seven in the
first half. Then at halftime. Nothing's changed more in my
lifetime than halftime adjustments. The Nuggets then decided to guard
D'Angelo Russell. How'd that go?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Well?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Not good for D'Angelo in the second half, he was
a big bag of suck, two of six from the
four to one of four on three points. Somebody do
a wellness check on Reggie Miller, who I thought was
massagering D'Angelo Russell.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
You'll see that, you haters.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
He's really good in the first half, and then he
had to play the second half and he sucked. Water
seeks its own level, all right, Now it gets even better.
Lakers coach Darvin Ham, this boso Okay, you know he.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Reminds me of Tom.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
He reminds me of We were talking about letting them
play Joe Joe Mizzoula in Boston and Darmenham. I don't
think he used one challenge to question the officiating at all. Now,
after the game, Darbenham implied that the referees were to
blame for the game two loss. Well, rather than me,
(08:23):
just read the quote. Let's go to the audio tape.
Here's the Lakers coach Darbenham.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Some tough calls, some tough non calls, but you know
you can't use it any of that as an excuse. Ye,
then be ready to make plays whether the whistle gets
blown or not. It's getting real tricky. Go through the season,
games being officiated one way, and then you get in
the playoffs and then it's like, I guess it's up
left to the interpretation of the three individual guys that's
(08:51):
doing the job out there. But all that said, you
just have to know that, Yeah, it's teams. Remember this
feeling as we take it back home to La We
got to give them that same fill in the game three.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
So if you've ever had a job, you've probably gotten
the compliment Sandwich. You know where they they say, oh,
you're doing really well, and then they kill you and
see you suck, and then they finish it up with
a compliment. I've had that many times. If you've heard
the show, you know why. But that was like the
reverse compliment Sandwich. That was like, listen, you can't blame
the referees. Let me blame the referees for thirty seconds
(09:23):
and then I'll say, well, we just got to.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Move on to Game three.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Oh my god, that's a sentien, you know, summing it
up in a brief little package here, Darvinham essentially saying
the games being officiated differently in the postseason and.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
The regid season. That's never happened before.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And Lebron James also complained about the replay Center and
that overturned foul call that would have been against D'Angelo Russell.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
He was upset about that. So where are you at?
Where are you at?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
On Darvinham and Lebron James pointing the finger at the
referees for the Lakers loss.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
So this is.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Not regular size, it's jumbo sized tutzbuok is what it
is that the NBA pulled out one of their heavy
hitters here, Scott Foster, He was the referee, Scott efing
Foster and Denver still won the game. And Darvinham and
Lebron what they're doing here is they're suddenly going into
(10:23):
the confessional. They're both admitting that the Lakers suck and
they're not good enough to compete with the Nuggets, which
we all knew anyway, right But the only way that
this can be a series is with meddling. And I
wouldn't put it past the NBA to medal with this.
But outside of injury, the only way that the Lakers
get back in this series when they go back to
(10:44):
skid Row there in La is if if the officials
come in here and they medal, and that's it. That's
all I mean. And I gotta tell you something. I've
been watching basketball a lot. I'm getting older my entire life.
The Lakers have always gotten the screw job from there.
They never get calls. They never have you experienced that too?
(11:04):
The officials have this clear hatred of Lakers. It's not
like they lead the league in foul attempts pretty much
every year. No, no, not at all. I completely get
what Darvin Hamm is saying. I do I do?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I get it. And Lebron, I mean, has it Lebron
ever gotten a call?
Speaker 6 (11:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Never, doesn't happen, Poor Lebron. Let's have a bake sale.
Where is some money for Lebron?
Speaker 7 (11:29):
All right?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Anyway, the last part of this, so the Nuggets are
up to Oh, how are things looking right now? For
Nikola Jokich, Jamal Murray and the reigning champions of pro
bouncy ball there the Nuggets. So I would say this matchup,
which I'm enjoying the hell out, I want the Lakers
to have a thirty point lead in Game three. I
(11:51):
want them to have a forty point lead in Game
four and blow blow those leads. I think that would
be just wonderful. But it's cartoonish. And here's why I
use the word cartoonish. I'm gonna date myself, but it
reminds me when I was a kid. There was a
Peanuts cartoon and one of the famous season I think
of this in the cartoon bubble in my head, Lebron
James and the Lakers are Charlie Brown. Okay, so they're
(12:13):
Charlie Brown, and then you got the Nuggets and Jokic
and Murray. They're Lucy holding the football and Lebron and
Charlie Brown over there. They think they're gonna kick the
ball and get suckered every time, thinking that Lucy's gonna
hold the ball in place and allow you to kick
the ball and pull it away at the last minute.
(12:35):
The Nuggets are treating the Lakers like silly putty, and
it's marvelous to watch. It is like basketball porn to
watch this. The Nuggets have now won ten straight and
the Lakers. To win this series, by Malard mathis correct,
they will have to win four of the next five.
Four of the next five they will have to win.
(12:55):
So that's gonna take a lot of officiating interference for
that to happen. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
Not all precincts are reporting in, but yes, almost time
for that last supper for Lebron and the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
We are in the air everywhere beside one another as
we get down to Bedrock Coast, the coast, border, the border,

Speaker 3 (14:58):
The Warrior Raider fan think that that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Tire Rack dot Com the Wait Tire Buying Show me
in our lead this hour. Coming from the other half
of the bracket. Now we are going to ignore the
Cleveland Orlando game. There not much to talk about there
but two good games on Turner Sports. The NBA Playoff
doubleheader we mentioned last after just new to the show. Here,
(15:23):
the Lakers gaged a twenty point lead. You know how
harder it is to blow a twenty point lead if
you're good, it's pretty hard. They blew a twenty point
lead against the Denver basketball team, and they did it
in splendid fashion, Jamal Murray hitting a game winning shot
as time expired right in front of the Nuggets bench,
as Anthony Davis fell in to the men, which likely
(15:48):
means he'll be hurt and missed the next game. All right,
So our lead, though, is from Gotham. The undercard featured
the New York Knickerbockers, who gave out a bunch of
tickets celebrities. They make the commoners, the Wall Street crowd
also have to buy tickets, but the celebrities in New
York at free tickets.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
They just can't say.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Anything bad about James Dolan or the Knicks, and they're
allowed to hang out and schmooze. And those are very
expensive tickets. So they were all there. Hey, if you
watch the game, Ben Stiller was hanging out there, Chris Rock.
So in terms of the actual game, a his historical
type situation here, New York was dead for rights. The
(16:28):
last rights were being handed to the Knicks there in
this game, they were gonna become the first home team
to lose in the playoffs. And then New York guard
Dante Stevencenzo the old the Villanova guard, he made a
go ahead three point shot with thirteen seconds to go
in the game, and there was a helter skelter situation.
(16:49):
The Knicks went full Houdini and ended up winning the
game one oh four to one oh one. But the
setup on this the Knicks are up now two to
zero in the series. The X trailed by five points
down five final thirty seconds of the game. Clock running
final thirty second of the game, and it's one of
the all time wackiest playoff comebacks, which would not have
(17:12):
been possible without the generosity of the Philadelphia basketball team.
The rally started with Jalen Brunson, who had been terrible,
just horrific in this game. Jalen Brunson hit a three
pointer that hung around, bounced up on the rim, went
down corner, three point of the ball bounced at that
(17:33):
point it fell in. So at that point it's a
two point game, one on one to ninety nine. There's
twenty seven seconds remaining, so Josh Hart who played every
minute of this game for New York, which is shocking.
It used to not be shocking, but now it's like
you're an iron man. Back before it was just expected.
But anyway, Josh Hart then stole the ball, a ball
from Tyrese Maxi, very generous of Tyrese Maxi to mishandled
(17:59):
the ball.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The Knicks get the.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Ball back and they go out to Devincenzo and and
then he ends up missing. He missed the shot. Oh no, well,
obviously you know what happened.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
The former Clipper Isaiah Hartenstein grabbed the rebound and tossed
it back out to og on Anobi, who then got
the ball back to Devincenzo and bang, he made the
shot there and that put the Knicks up by one.
They would go on and win by three. And that
led to a spicy comment from Joe el nbad after
(18:39):
after the game. Here's a little taste of Joe el
in beiid here on his commentary.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Everybody on the floor was trying to call Tom Mount
myself into the Nico the coach on the saloon, but
that didn't give it to us. But you know, forget
about the Tom there's a bunch of foss.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah. I said, yeah, see that's the money quote, and
that's all we need. We'll get to Nick Nurse in
a minute, but we'll start with Joel Embiids. So you
just heard it, Joel Embiid saying the Knicks loss or
the Sixers loss to the Knicks was efing unacceptable. So
where are you at on that particular quote. So I've
got Fairbanks, worms and jays, and we will combine all
(19:23):
of these things together and we are going to make
a zamboni, which they needed Madison Square Garden, but not
for the Knickerbockers.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
It's the other team that's in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
So my first observation here, My first thought on this
is it is efing unacceptable. But it doesn't go far enough. Okay,
that's number one.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I had to keep the rain on guard there anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
So yeah, the first thought is it doesn't go far
enough to say, hey, it's effing unacceptable. There's a playoffs, right,
not a regular season game, not a regulating but we're talk
about playoffs. Can't do it, can't have it happen. That
was a room service special. That was Santa Claus on
Christmas morning is what it was. That was Hanakah, harry On,
(20:12):
you know, the night of Hanukah. What are you doing
with any kind of discipline? The Sixers closed out the game.
They had a brain fart. There was brain flatulence that
went on by multiple players on the Sixers, and they
sucked at a time he cannot suck. It was low
basketball IQ. They don't want to talk about that. They
just kind of glossed it over. But in the final
(20:33):
seconds the seventy six Ers could not find you could
say they couldn't find the closer. And when they found
the closer, they had the great Pete Fairbanks of the
Tampa Bay Rays there that he was the closer. And
as we learned in a recent episode of the show,
it was an all encompassing type of suck. An all
(20:55):
encompassing type of suck. When you have a five point
lead in thirty seconds of basketball, to close the lead
and you lose the game, that is all.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Encompassing suck is what that is.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Now Philly plans to file a grievance that we do.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
We have Nick Nurse.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Here is Nick Nurse, the coach of the Philadelphia basketball team,
talking about that the final couple of seconds. They tried
to call time out, didn't was not granted. So take
a listen to his complaints.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
Obviously they score, we take a look at getting it
in quick.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
We don't get it in quick.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
I call time out, reffre.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
He looked right at me, ignored me.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
I needed a time out there to advance.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It would have been good.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
I couldn't get it.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
He went on the Sixers to say, through the media
in Philly, they're going to file a grievance with the
NBA over the officiating these first two games, not just
Game two, but the first two games at Madison Square Garden.
So let's wrap this one up. So the Sixers coach,
you just heard it, a little taste of it. Nick
Nurse unhappy, angry they lost the game, and I said,
(22:06):
the officials ignored the timeout call at the end. There
will be a grievance that will be filed here according
to the Philly media. There do the Sixers have a
prayer of winning the grievance over the shoddy officiating. So
the way I will answer this, do they have a
(22:26):
chance of winning?
Speaker 7 (22:27):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
In fact, I would be surprised if the NBA doesn't say, hey,
bad job by us. Now, we screwed that one up.
Should have given you a timeout. But they're not going
to replay the game, so who cares. That's not like
gonna say, all right, everyone back to Madison Square Garden,
will play at four o'clock this afternoon, just to have
the Sixers come back on the train up to New
(22:51):
York and will play the game. They're not gonna do that,
so they'll say, oh, it's a bad job bus. But
as I understand it, maybe I'm wrong on this. It's
up to the discretion of the referee to grant the
time out. They don't have to give you the time out.
And I would assume the referee is are gonna argue, well,
I didn't see it.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
You know what. You weren't clear that you wanted.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
To call the time out, and there's a gray area
here and all that. Anyway, we pivot now to the
award season. And I was not planning on talking about this,
but these quotes are so delicious I have to go
down this road. So they announced over the weekend the
finalists for various awards. The Laker center Anthony Davis was
(23:31):
not one of the finalists for the Defensive Player of
the Year award, and who gives a rats ass? He does,
he gives a rats ass. He gave the mother of
all quotes to a Laker sycophant scribe, saying, quote, I'll
never get it, he said of the Defensive Player.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Of the Year award.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
He then went on to say, they're not giving it
to me the league. Here we go, buckle up. The
league doesn't like me, he stated. The league doesn't like me.
I'm the best defensive player in the league. Close quote.
And I thought it would be appropriate to talk about
this on a night where Anthony Davis absolutely vanished in
(24:13):
a big spot for the Lakers. I thought this would
be perfect, so Anthony Davis said, and again for those
of you that are a little inebriated, Anthony Davis said
that the NBA doesn't like him. That's a great quote,
and that he's never going to win the Defensive Player
of the Year award. Do you have any empathy for
(24:34):
the unibra? So I'll go first. I have none. I
have zero, zero empathy. The word for this is emasculating.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Seriously, Anthony Davis, it's appropriate. He gave these quotes before
he went out and pitched a goose egg, a shutout,
a perfect quarter down the stretch, not even scoring a point,
taking one shot, although I don't even remember taking the
one in the fourth quarter. But this is the kind
of attitude. This is why this guy's a dope. And
then this guy's a Nimrod and a Schmendrick and all
(25:08):
those things. Anthony Davis, he didn't play a lot of
games this Year'll give him that, but his legend has
already inform. We talk a lot about this over the
course of the year. We'll mention this several times. When
the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend
the man that shot Liberty Bounce. The legend of Anthony
Davis is he doesn't play, he's not reliable, and he's
(25:30):
like he's humming bars from this old century.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
It's from the thirteenth century. There's a childhood.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Song, a kid's song from Tonga, and it goes something
like that, nobody likes me, everybody hates me. I think
I'll go eat worms. That's essentially what Anthony Davis just
did here. And then he went out after bragging about
how great he is. And I don't remember making any
(25:58):
plays in the fourth quarter to you. Maybe he didn't know.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Maybe I was in a coma or something. I blocked
it out. But booooo, they don't like me.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Oh my god. That shows you the personification of soft,
the living embodiment of soft. And plus we know he
plays with Lebron. If Lebron can't win the Defensive Player
of the Year, Anthony Davis can't win the defensive player
they all right?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Real quick? Final point. The news on.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
The coaching circuit in the NBA involving a podcaster. This
is how pathetic the NBA is. They're not going to
interview podcasters for coaching jobs. Did you see this? Yeah?
Would you support JJ Reddick the podcaster getting the Charlotte
coaching job. He's gonna interview for the job. So I
(26:49):
will go yes on this, I will nod my head. Yes,
I support JJ Reddick getting a coaching job. As long
as he ends his podcast and gets off my television.
I fully support that. A way to go right, and
in fact we will we will fully support him. On
tobacco road, well, we will take him there. We'll buy
him some cigarettes. The Hornets the way I look at
(27:10):
they're irrelevant, right, They're a spam team. They're a philler team.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
They suck.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
They've sucked for years, and they they've tried to hire
real coaches like they know what they're doing, and that
hasn't worked. So why not hire a podcast or why
not go for it? And I have an unpopular opinion
on JJ Reddick because I saw him miss so many
wide open three point shots in the fourth quarter during
the Lob City years. I'm not a fan, but here's
my position on JJ Reddick. I can look that, I
(27:35):
can put that to a side and look past that.
So JJ Redick is not really cut out for sports media.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
He's not. And let me tell you why.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
There was a comment he gave a couple months ago
that just outed him as a total loser and a
guy that can't handle the modern media circuit the way
it works here. Because here's why, it's like the J's
or or the Ojys, the old song from the ojs
back in the seventies, give the people what they want.
(28:06):
JJ Reddick does not believe in giving the people what
they want. JJ's annoyance, right, his annoyance with the fan
who doesn't want to get inside the strategy of basketball,
and he complained about it. He started some fugazi podcast
which likes three people are listening to with Lebron about the.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Strategy of the game.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Who the hell wants to get The answer is nobody, right,
People tune in. It's been proven for generations now. People
tune in for the drama. They don't tune in for
the x's and o's.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
A lot of people are watching.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
They couldn't tell you the difference between a basketball and volleyball,
but they tune in for the drama. And JJ Reddick
doesn't like that. So let him go coach a bunch
of losers in Charlotte and they can win twenty five
or thirty games a year and he can brag about
all his x's and o's, and then, of course, because
of the jockocracy, he'll come back and get a job.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
As a commentator. Again. That's how that works.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
This is one gets great.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
Yes, Cooper Loop, Well, Ben, we're gonna we're gonna do
two questions today.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Okay, you already answered one of them, all right? Good?
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
The Chargers are betting favorites to land Jim Harbaugh's old
running back from Michigan, Blake Korham. Some mock drafts have
Korum being the first running back off the board in
the second round. Others have Korum as low as the
fifth best back in the draft and going in the
third round. Ben, how do you think Korum transitions into
the pros?
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I think it'll be all right. The better question though, here, Coop,
is is Jim Harbaugh being legit with the football media.
Is he really trying to get all of his Michigan
guys together with the Chargers or is this all a ruse?
Speaker 7 (29:53):
Like?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
What is the truth there?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Because there's there's reports that they want JJ McCarthy. They
already have a quarterback and they I want the want
the offensive lineman from Michigan. Is that all just a
bull crap or is that really what Jim Harbaugh wants?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
That's the better question. I think Cora will be all right,
but he doesn't running backs it's a temporary job. Even
if you're good, you're a temp in the NFL.
Speaker 9 (30:13):
Next, the Cleveland Guardians are the best record in the
AL and have the best point differential in all of baseball.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I think he's called run differential, Coop. But I don't
want to touch up your work there, but yeah, you
know whatever.
Speaker 10 (30:24):
Do you think the Guardians are contenders or pretenders?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Well, they are contenders because of location, location, location. I
know the Royals are playing better than expected, but they
think the White Sox are horrifically bad. I don't think
the Tigers are that good, so that's a bad division.
So by default they are in a playoff position. Now,
do they have a lot of name brand players? No,
(30:48):
most average fans could not name more than a couple
players on the Guardians.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
They're in this, Coop by then we know. Now you
said us, I corrected your work, Coop. You said correct,
you screwed up. I agree with that.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
I don't think you are. I think you're pretending to
be excited. I think you're I think you're embellishing. You're excited.

I'm not getting the vibe. I don't know. I mean,
I can put you on a hold if you want,
I mean, if you want to win.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
No, okay, no, okay, all right now, she yelled at me,
So that means she wants to play.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
No, I would like to win without other people being
like taking up the time and doing all the madness.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
All right, I understand legitimate win.
Speaker 10 (32:15):
I guess you don't want like a Ben Mallard.
