Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome to the our number one original
Recipe podcast. Now a special note, you'll hear more about
this here in the hour one podcast. I'll be doing
double duty today moonlighting. Well I don't moonlight. I work
at night, so I'll be working when the sun's up.
(00:21):
I'll be filling in locally in Los Angeles on AM
five seventy and you can hear that on the iHeartRadio
app from noon to three o'clock Pacific, but you can
listen anywhere. You can listen in Charleston and Boston, anywhere,
it doesn't matter where you are, Minnesota, Dallas, just from
noon to threes. Figure out the time difference in your
(00:41):
time zone. But I'll be on today locally in Los Angeles,
and i'll be again back tonight, So a lot of
extra radio time. But here in hour number one, it's
all about the Pacers and the Celtics Eastern Compference Finals
Game one. Did the Celtics win the game in overtime
or did the Pacers lose the game in regulation? We'll
talk about that also. When asked what was different in
(01:04):
overtime for the Celtics, Jalen Brown said JT meaning Jason
Tatum finally woke up, made some baskets. Can you decode
that quote? And Indiana's Miles Turner said, everybody and their
mother is rooting for the Celtics. Is that how you
see it? We'll talk about all of these things and
much more. Right now here it is our number one
(01:29):
in need of a pacemaker, a literal pacemaker in clutch time.
Welcome in the beginning of another edition of the Ben
Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere constituents, as
we are in in empty house where there were some
(01:51):
people here earlier cleaning the carpets. But that's about it. Coast,
the coast, border, the border and beyond on the vast
and mighty powerful microphones of fsr M moundating live from
the board, the sounding board as we are broadcasting live
from the ti raq dot Com studios. Tyract dot com
(02:13):
will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
JD and Boston Massol Mickey tell me they got ten
thousand breaks the Celtics. Tire ract dot Com away tire
buying should be. It's kind of obvious what our lead is.
(02:39):
I don't think I need to tell you from the Commonwealth.
The curtain went up. The flag is up on the
Eastern Conference Finals, and a very unusual thing happened. This
was actually a game that we can spend time talking about.
It was not boring, it was not uneventful. There were
things that actually happened on the iconicparque as Boston a
(03:01):
cord to the odds makers, a huge mismatch. In fact,
this is a game the sharps took a bath on
and the public did very well. Boston a ten point favorite.
In fact, the wise guys who hadn't seen this big
of favorite in the Conference finals since the Jordan Bulls
back in the nineties, and it certainly didn't start out
that way. If you saw the game, you know what
(03:21):
I'm talking about. Maybe I missed it, you weren't into it.
But Jalen Brown the headliner, twenty six points, and he
made the game time sirked a shot like moneyball Mallor
in the final seconds there. In fact, there were six
point one seconds on the clock in regulation and the
(03:42):
Celtics rally back in overtime. They get to win one
thirty three to one to twenty eight, and they steal game,
won a game that the Pacers had right up until
they rode the vomit comet in the late stages of
the fourth quarter. There, Jason Tatum had third six points.
I didn't even played all. Oh you had thirty six points,
(04:02):
no ten in overtime and the Celtics get the win,
drew Holiday a season high twenty eight points for Boston.
There they take a one to ozh series lead in
the Conference Finals. Game two will be on Thursday back
in Boston. But the better story, you know where it
is the losing locker room and oh how great the
(04:24):
nectar of the gods. What happened in this game? So
the question did the Celtics win the game because Jalen
Brown and Jason Tatum stepped up? Or did the Pacers
lose the game? I think you know the answer. I've
got NonStop flight, presidential and Switzerland, and we will combine
(04:46):
all of these things together and we are going to
make the Boston cream Pie, which is what the Celtics
threw at the face of the Indiana basketball team. My God.
To answer the question, if you didn't see it, I'll
walk you through it. But this is clearly pointing the
direction of the team from the Hoosier State. WHOA. That
(05:09):
was a cosmic struggle. At the end of the game,
you get one job. Get one job at the end
of the game. You couldn't do it any end. Is
up three with ten seconds to go in the game,
got a three point lead. Just inbound the ball. The
Celtics are going to give you a foul. You make
one of the foul shots for all intensive purposes. The
(05:32):
game's over. You had in possession of the ball, possession
is nine tenths of victory, and you screwed it up.
It's it's just wonderful. And then you screwed it up again.
So the game was in the bag. And then the
Pacers decide, you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna
snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. And they did.
(05:54):
They took defeat from the jaws of victory. Very impressive. Now,
Tyrese Halliburton, in the late stages that are over there,
he dribbled the ball off his foot in a big
mom what a klutz, as my grandfather would say. But
the real dunce cap of Dune Caps goes to someone
named Andrew Nebhard who is booking a flight on it's
(06:18):
a one way flight. It's a NonStop, one way flight,
NonStop flight, one way Panic City, because that's where he was.
He was at Panic City. Nebhard on the inbounds played
with ten seconds to go in the game, did the
thing you can't do at the time, you can't do
it a terrible pass and then it bounced off. Pascal
siakam our favorite player in the Indiana basketball team. But
(06:41):
overall final five point thirty regulation and he had more
turnovers than field goals made and the moment was too big.
They choked. They that's an absolute choke. It's not the
Celtics were the better team. This game was there for Indiana.
It was right there, and they gave it back. If
(07:01):
you want to crown them, you can crown the rass
the Celtics, but they didn't play well. All right now, postgame,
Jalen Brown was lesch than pleased in his postgame media
situation there with the Celtics overall performance. He was asked
what the difference was in overtime, fact that we have
the audio on this, here's do we have Jalen Brown? Yes,
(07:23):
all right, we have Jalen We do not coople loop
did not get the sound. I sent it to him
an hour and a half ago. All right, well, I'll
just tell you what he said. So, when asked what
was different in overtime for the Celtics, Jalen Brown said,
quote JT finally woke up, meaning Jason Tatum made some baskets,
made some baskets. Can you decode this one? Can you
(07:45):
decode this one? So it's rather obvious. I wish you
could hear it, but apparently can't. But anyway, listen, Jalen
Brown did not nibble around the edges. He said it postgame,
he said it. And the way I decoded this and
I have a decode ring is he got a mulligan.
Jason Tatum was given a presidential pardon. This was a
(08:08):
hollow win by the Celtics. Tatum missed a wide open
pull up three ball if you saw with thirty six
seconds to go. That has forgotten because Boston won the game.
But he missed a wide open three point shot with
thirty six seconds to go and in the fourth quarter,
so one point game going to the fourth quarter. But
Jason Tatum took seven shots from the floor and missed
(08:30):
five of them. I didn't plan in the NBA, but
I don't think that's good. He was bailed out. He
was bailed out by a bad pass by Indiana and
Jalen Brown taking and making a three point shot while
Pascal Siakam. Not only did they not foul, Siakam put
his hands behind his back. Well, I put my hand
(08:51):
like I'm being handcuffed. I'm putting my hands behind my
back because I do know what to get called for
a foul when you should have just tackled Jalen Brown.
But hey, that's not after the fact. I was screaming
at my television as what are you doing. It's a
bad job by you. But Jason Tatum thirty six points,
and it's another onse weird things that happens a lot
(09:12):
in sports where someone has a sexy stat line and
the uneducated fan, the fan that doesn't know what they're watching,
or they're just fanboys, they're oh, he played so well,
Jason Tittam at thirty six points. It didn't play well.
He took twenty six shots. He got ten from the
charity stripe, but twenty six points on twenty six field
goal attempts, which is not very efficient. Forget saved by
(09:36):
the bell. How about it also saved by the referees.
Tony Brothers should get a game ball and his crew
from Joe Missoula. Tony Brothers should absolutely get a game ball.
Twenty four of thirty from the Charity Stripe. The Boston
basketball team Indiana was nine of ten. So clearly Boston
took many more shots around the basket. That's why they
(09:58):
got fouled, unless they didn't. The Celtics attempted forty five
three point shots forty five Indiana took a lot to
thirty five. This was some old fashioned meddling by the official.
Now this Indiana also turned the ball over. Multiple things
can be true. At the same time. Indiana didn't play well.
They had the game, they blew it even with all that,
(10:19):
but both teams were sloppy. Both teams were sloppy, and
Boston happened to have a night watchman with a whistle
to help them. So you had that, all right, last
word here. So in the lead up to this game,
Indiana's Miles Turner, who I believe he looked like Reggie
(10:41):
Miller in the first half. Maybe I was imagining that,
but Miles Turner of the Pacers said that everybody's quote,
everybody and their mother is rooting for the Celtics. Is
that how you see it? So I contemplated this because
I have no life, and I determined that this is
is Bolshoi as they say in Russia, the Bolshoi Ballet.
(11:05):
So I'm gonna shake my head no on this. The
Celtics are not media darters. No, they have more of
a national fan base because there are people who are
from Boston. All over the country. There's people that like
the Celtics is they've won more championships than anybody in
the NBA. All their championships as Boston Lakers count the
(11:26):
ones from Minnesota, which is fraudulent. We all know that.
So the Celtics have the most championships. But the Celtics
are not the darling of the NBA right now. If
you're talking about Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, and
part of Connecticut, because there's that weird point of demarcation
where like part of Connecticut likes New York sports and
then there's part that like the Boston sports. But it's
(11:48):
more I think it's more New York than than Boston.
When I've been there anyway. The rest of the country.
The rest of the country when you look at the
Celtics and you're like, it's like Switzerland, You're neutral, can
be when it comes to that, you don't really hate them.
They're not really hateable like some old Celtic teams. And
you also like the chocolate. You like you like getting chocolate,
you like that, just like Switzerland. But outside of ex Bostonians,
(12:12):
it's not universal support. Jason Tatum, for all the accolades
that he's gotten over his career as the face of
the Celtics, does not have that widespread slobber slab or
slobber where everyone genuflects to him and the Celtics team.
They have not yet captured the heart, mind and soul
(12:34):
of the average Drabbroni. Now, if they win, and they
do it with Gusto and Rasmtaz, we're going to have
that happen because that's part of the package. That's the
all inclusive package. When you win a championship. The band Wagner,
as our old friend Blair and Man used to say
that fan will go gaga, and we saw it with
(12:56):
Golden State when they had their run, and we'll see
what transpires here with the Selish, but they win, and
then of course that will be the case. But right now,
to answer Miles Turner question. Miles Turner's question, I don't
see it that way. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

In fact, he was part of one of the original
Malard meet and grease at a chicken finger joint in
Syracuse years and years ago. He says, By the way,
today is my birthday and I'm stuck at work. I
was I was supposed to be on vacation, but the
request got quote lost close quote Ah yeah, Chip says,
(16:09):
can you say something to trim me up? Well, I
know you said the word please chip at the end
of that. But we don't do shoutouts. As you know,
this is an overnight show. We get paid like it.
It's not a morning Zoos show, so we cannot give
you a shout out. But it would be interesting if
you just got a little tired, a little sick, maybe
had to leave early from the shift, and somebody else
(16:30):
has to put the cans of tomato soup on the
on the shelves there on Aisle seven. You just got
a little ill there. But yeah, I have work with
people that always take their birthday off. When I was
a kid, I never want to go to school on
my birthday because I hated school. But I kind of
like my job, so I don't really mind, like working
my birthday falls on a night I'm working. Ryan in
(16:52):
Sunday Ago all rights in He says, the big dumb
dumb did a worthy for the pay there. Just throw
the rock in bounds and you win the game. Yeah,
there were there were some major brain flatulence, major brain
flatulence by the Indiana basketball. Yeah that's not only that
(17:16):
you throw the ball and you win the game. Then
you turn the ball over, so Boston's got the ball
and you're like well, foul them, foul them before they
shoot a three point shot, and then and then they
can't tie the game and they have to you get
fouled again, you get another opportunity to get foul and
you play it out that way. But instead Pascal Siakam
(17:38):
has his hands behind his back while Jalen Brown is
shooting the three point shot. Way to contest the shot,
hands behind the back. Femi, who's all gung ho? He's
so he's howling at the moon like a wolf because
he's a tenowolf guy, says Ben, Is this how the
Eastern Conference is playing? Safe to say the NBA champion
(18:00):
is going to be Minnesota or Dallas. Calm down for me, stay,
stay calm, come come come. Yes. Then Shane Shane from
Des Moines says, would you mind asking Mark the full
name guy a question? Well, he's not on I can't
(18:24):
ask him a question. He's not he's not online. So
if he calls up, I could ask him a question.
But it's not like he's on the schedule. He's got
the night off from calling the show. He's he's assigned
to picking his nose tonight. Milkman Mike in Colorado, right,
sinces a spot on, although he wrote spit on, so
(18:44):
maybe he met spin on. Opening Malle monologue Eastern Conference Finals.
Still not convinced after their meltdown last year that the
Boston Celtics have this series locked up. Also, I know
we do not do the shout outs, but if we did,
I would ask you to congratulate my oldest son, Cayden,
(19:06):
who graduated high school. So listen, I know, Milkman, Mike,
you're very proud of your son there, Cayden. And it's
a great life of vents, right everyone, you get through
high school, then you go out and you either go
to college, you get a real job and all that
and wonderful. Great, But we don't do shoutouts, so screw you.
We're not We're not doing it. Okay, I can't do it.
(19:27):
Cannot do it, Brian says, your Pacers with a complete
joke job at the end of the fourth not putting
the Celtics away and handing them the game and over there. Well, Brian, no, no,
I'm on the side of the Celtics in this series.
I'm on the Celtics, not the Pacers. Bad job. I
recommend going to Costco. The hearing Aid Center and getting
your your hearing aid updated. There wrong again, that's a
(19:50):
bad job by you. You feed me at Chicago's, says Hey
Malard eight plus in a box of Crystal Burgers on
the Malard monologue. Did you see that mister NFL is
finally going to add precise computer measurements instead of the
chain game. Yes, I saw that. We will discuss that.
That's on my list. We'll get to that letter. I
don't really do list, but it's on my big board.
Later in the show. I just see Mark, the full
(20:12):
name guy is listening, so maybe he'll call in, he says.
The Gazon blogger, he says, has making comments about Middle
East relations. It's a sports radio show, Mark, that's not
really what we handle here.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
In these parts.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Stay in your lane. As LeVar Ball said, the Internet, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
the Internet. You can just put anything out there. Late
Night drug Test just says, great start to the show.
I was assuming now that Eddie mentioned the Royals in
his Games of note that they would be the subject
of the first Male of Model.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
People in Kansas City very upset with Eddie and I
have a source at our affiliate in Kansas City and
they have like a text line at six your suck
at six ' ten sports, and they were outraged of
the West Coast media bias by Eddie Garcia, who failed
the mentioned the Royal score as a game. Well, I'm
(21:04):
talking about yesterday.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
That's in.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Edie got a call. Eddie got a call. Eddie got

Oh yeah, the w wnby so stupid. Do you see?
Do you see the ratings for Caitlin Clark have gone
down there? Did you see that? The shot? It's amazing.
I don't know why it's so popular. No one loves it.
Matt Moving, Oh, here's a blast from the pass. We've
heard this guy in a long time. Moving man, Matt,
who's got the official mobile Mallard billboard coming to a
(21:34):
state near you. He says, that's a winner. He says,
do it live. He's headed to the Big Apple in
the full Mallard billboard. Matt, you gotta let me know.
Now you're going to be in Manhattan. My brother lives
in Manhattan. We might have to do a drive by.
H well, not that kind of dry, my brother.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
We could.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I'll tell you my brother's place that you can drive by.
That'd be great. Oh, we got to do that. Send
me an email movie. He got my email, moving man, Matt.
We'll see if we can set that up. Do you
see how expensive it is to take the bridges if
you're a truck into Manhattan. It's insane how much they
the taxes and that wild They just completely gouger complains
(22:12):
bad enough if you're in a regular car, but you
go into Manhattan and one of those giant trucks. I
looked online for some real a while back when I
was driving around when I was visiting my brother, and
I was like, you gotta be joking. That's insane. One
thing we are not joking about, though, is something we
like to call in these parts Benny Bonus. Baby. You

they have allowed me to come back. So I will
be sitting in there and I am looking forward to that.

and we say hello too. Games of note, Garcia.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Now I heard you mentioned earlier about the carpet cleaning
folks today. Did they get your studio this time? Because
remember I didn't last time. They were unable to do
it because you were doing well show.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
No, I was, Jason and Harmon were here doing there.
But where I sit in the very back the old
update studio. Well, you got to go out of this room.
You make a right turn and then a left turn,
go down the hall, make a left turn, and then
make another left and they they had cleaned that and
there was a thick chemical smell.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
I have it now in here.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Okay, yeah, good, enjoy that. Why would you say good
because I spent an hour in the back room sniffing
the chemical.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Well, I had nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
It's kind of your fault, Powell. I want to blame you.
Loraina told me to blame you.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
I feel like I need to put a mask on
in between.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Oh you want to go ahead? We did that a
lot in twenty twenty. Going back to that, you want
a mask.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
I don't want to, but I'm not a fan of
this chemical smell. With every breath I take it.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Just pull your sweater up over your nose. At well,
some people still do. I think there's still people who
do updates with masks on, so you can just talk
into it like the mask and you know, have a muddle.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Muddled doesn't sound very good. We're professionals.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I've got eddie, I said, I sound same, I got
I got my shirt over my mouth. I don't sound
any different, right, what's it all?
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Let's get to the police blotterer in sports. Yeah, we
love police blog. That's why we're here overnight just to
report the police.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Water Louisville Metro Police Department is continuing its investigation of
the events surrounding the Scottish Scheffler arrest last Friday. The
department says they will provide additional updates on Thursday. And
the photographer who accused chiefs Wide Receiver Rashie Rice of
assaulting him at a Dallas night club is signed out
with David asking the Dallas Police Department to not file chargers,
(25:40):
saying the incident was a misunderstanding.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
So it appears that Rashi Rice has cut a check
to a camera person who will be paying for dinner. Methinks,
usually that's how that works at Yes, usually there's a
nice giant from size cartoon check that is sent forward. Anyway,
it is the Ben Show and let's have some fun
(26:04):
fun fact. It is time for the fun fact and
here we go. Victor wem Baniyama. That is a basketball
player from Parie who plays on the River Walk there

NBA All Defensive First Team overall. He is the sixth
rookie to earn a spot on the NBA's All Defensive team.

How many of the other five can Eddie Garcia name?
How many of the other five can Eddie Eddie Garcia name? Well,
let's go with bam Adebayou. That is incorrect, you're over one.
Speaker 6 (26:41):

If I asked you about the w NBA, you'd get
them all right, because you're more of a w NBA
fan these days.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
But oh, that's you asked me to give those stories?
Was a lie?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That is incorrect. You're giving out erroneous information. Bad job.
But you now the answer is Tim Duncan. Back in
the nineties, I wasn't even alive. Then David Robinson in
nineteen ninety Minute Bowl. I have fun memories that early
in my radio career when I was a stringer.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
How about the kim Bin Mudumbo.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
When I watched Minute Bowl shoot three point shots for
the Golden State Wars and Don Nelson. I still laughed
my ass off seven foot seven Eddie and he shot
it was It was wild.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
So graceful too.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
It didn't look awkward at all, not at all, not
at all.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
But Minut Bowl was on there. Hakeem Elijah Wan in
the nineteen eighties also and one other one Eddie, one
other one that's incorrect, Wow, should be on there. No,
no Kareem abdul Jabbar, the Milwaukee Bucks, so Wemby in
the company of Elijah wah abdul Jabar, Minute Ball, Robinson
(28:08):
and Duncan. Let's go to the Fox. We'll say hello

You know I used to do it?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
The TV show right, Yeah, you said a thing or
two back in the eighties, right, New York Public and
I missed public television, local public television. People who are
young have no idea how great that was. That was
the YouTube of the of the eighties.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
I was on Channel No No No.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
But but I'm saying we've met. Like nowadays, all those
shows are on YouTube, but back in those days, they
didn't have YouTube, so people did their own shows on
public access. It was great.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Ben, what I can't live my life the way I'm
doing it right now? I can't. I got I got
out here and there's no electric I can't. It's like
I went to jail to tres fashion and because I
was sitting always charging my phone, and now they took
away all the electric sockets except the one on Lincoln Road.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
So I oh, that's why you're on Lincoln Road. That's
a smart decision. Yeah, you need the power, I got you.
There's got to be in Miami. I've been to Miami.
It's a pretty big city. There's got to be another
part of Miami where there's got You got an outlet
there that you can charge. What about South What about
South Beach? Walking up up and down the boardwalk down
South Beach.
Speaker 7 (30:29):

Okay, but that's the only one in South Beach. You

Right, Well, I've never met God, so I'm not sure.
But maybe someday I'll let you know. Actually I won't
be able to report if I meet God. I don't
think I'll be able to report back. So I don't know.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
That's my point. Nobody ever has.

You know, yeah it was. It was crazy. You know,

What if you only could talk about the w n
B A weed Man, what if that was the only topic.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
I remember? Before this phone, I was listening to your
show every second seven. But since I got this phone,
I don't know how to get the podcast I've had.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
It's very it's very simple, We've Ben. You can just
get the the iHeartRadio app, go to your whatever your
app store is on your fun So you don't know
how to find that, but you can download. It's free.
It's absolutely free. And you can listen on Google Play, right, well,
it's I think it's on Google. I think we're on
Google Play too. Yeah, you on Google.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Yeah, I'll try to do that. I'll lit you to
but I heard ten minute, I mean every ten minutes
I listen to all the shows.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Well, thank you, God bless you. But I mean I
have to other things I have to do here. I
love you all right, I'm hanging up, and you'd be
safe out there.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Weed.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Somebody has a guardian angel for weed. Man want to
help him out. He's a relatively harmless He just likes
to smoke weed and on his phone. That's about it
as far as we know. I mean, I don't really
know him in real life. I've never met him, but
that's what I know of him. So yeah, it's like
the weed and likes to futch around on his phone.
(34:13):
The Celtics said had been assumed that Chris tops Porzingis
would not would not need be needed against the Pacers.
That still could be the case didn't look that way
in game one, but it appears that Porzingis is on
track to return to the Celtics that he should be
available by Game four of the Eastern Conference Finals against
the Pacers, assuming there are no more setbacks now. If
(34:36):
the Boston Celtics win the next couple of games, it
would be rather shocking if Porzingis ends up actually playing,
but that option is available. Time now for the who
Am I? Game? In defeat, Pacers, guard Tyrese Halliburton tied
Stephen Curry and me for the NBA record for most
three pointers made in a Conference Finals debut. Again in
(34:59):
the low Pacers guard ty Reese Halliburton, who dribbled the
ball off his foot at a time you can't do that,
tied Steph Curry and me for the NBA record for
most three pointers made in a Conference Finals debut. Who
Am I? The answer? We'll get to it. We'll do
it next.

my bosses would agree with you on that. What else
do we have here? Let's see pay Some of these
people think I can read things on the air. I can't.
It's good to see no Strudinas who wore a no
(36:12):
weed Man sticker at the Mallard meet and greet. He
actually had a little sign that said no weed Man
at the one in Seattle. He says weed Man being

have a cable TV show back in the nineteen.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Billy Blank Show, and then that stupid on YouTube that
Tybo guy ended up using his name and then that
was it. Yeah, Ryan says, I will take lame Little
League updates over Eddie giving WWNBAS. Wow firk Dog says,
please help weed Man out by making him your new
NBA correspondent. He's the only one not on Lebron's payroll.
(36:55):
That's a great take. How about we make weed Man
our unofficial NBA courus sponded for the playoffs? That could
be pretty good. Yea Phemie says, weed Man sounds better.
Time time now for the who am I? Game? He
blatant attempted to get you to listen a little bit longer.
In defeat the Pacers, guard ty Reese Halliburton tied Stephen

Here we go. Welcome to the our number one original
Recipe podcast. Now a special note, you'll hear more about
this here in the hour one podcast. I'll be doing
double duty today moonlighting. Well I don't moonlight. I work
at night, so I'll be working when the sun's up.
(00:21):
I'll be filling in locally in Los Angeles on AM
five seventy and you can hear that on the iHeartRadio
app from noon to three o'clock Pacific, but you can
listen anywhere. You can listen in Charleston and Boston, anywhere,
it doesn't matter where you are, Minnesota, Dallas, just from
noon to threes. Figure out the time difference in your
(00:41):
time zone. But I'll be on today locally in Los Angeles,
and i'll be again back tonight, So a lot of
extra radio time. But here in hour number one, it's
all about the Pacers and the Celtics Eastern Compference Finals
Game one. Did the Celtics win the game in overtime
or did the Pacers lose the game in regulation? We'll
talk about that also. When asked what was different in
(01:04):
overtime for the Celtics, Jalen Brown said JT meaning Jason
Tatum finally woke up, made some baskets. Can you decode
that quote? And Indiana's Miles Turner said, everybody and their
mother is rooting for the Celtics. Is that how you
see it? We'll talk about all of these things and
much more. Right now here it is our number one
(01:29):
in need of a pacemaker, a literal pacemaker in clutch time.
Welcome in the beginning of another edition of the Ben
Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere constituents, as
we are in in empty house where there were some
(01:51):
people here earlier cleaning the carpets. But that's about it. Coast,
the coast, border, the border and beyond on the vast
and mighty powerful microphones of fsr M moundating live from
the board, the sounding board as we are broadcasting live
from the ti raq dot Com studios. Tyract dot com
(02:13):
will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
JD and Boston Massol Mickey tell me they got ten
thousand breaks the Celtics. Tire ract dot Com away tire
buying should be. It's kind of obvious what our lead is.
(02:39):
I don't think I need to tell you from the Commonwealth.
The curtain went up. The flag is up on the
Eastern Conference Finals, and a very unusual thing happened. This
was actually a game that we can spend time talking about.
It was not boring, it was not uneventful. There were
things that actually happened on the iconicparque as Boston a
(03:01):
cord to the odds makers, a huge mismatch. In fact,
this is a game the sharps took a bath on
and the public did very well. Boston a ten point favorite.
In fact, the wise guys who hadn't seen this big
of favorite in the Conference finals since the Jordan Bulls
back in the nineties, and it certainly didn't start out
that way. If you saw the game, you know what
(03:21):
I'm talking about. Maybe I missed it, you weren't into it.
But Jalen Brown the headliner, twenty six points, and he
made the game time sirked a shot like moneyball Mallor
in the final seconds there. In fact, there were six
point one seconds on the clock in regulation and the
(03:42):
Celtics rally back in overtime. They get to win one
thirty three to one to twenty eight, and they steal game,
won a game that the Pacers had right up until
they rode the vomit comet in the late stages of
the fourth quarter. There, Jason Tatum had third six points.
I didn't even played all. Oh you had thirty six points,
(04:02):
no ten in overtime and the Celtics get the win,
drew Holiday a season high twenty eight points for Boston.
There they take a one to ozh series lead in
the Conference Finals. Game two will be on Thursday back
in Boston. But the better story, you know where it
is the losing locker room and oh how great the
(04:24):
nectar of the gods. What happened in this game? So
the question did the Celtics win the game because Jalen
Brown and Jason Tatum stepped up? Or did the Pacers
lose the game? I think you know the answer. I've
got NonStop flight, presidential and Switzerland, and we will combine
(04:46):
all of these things together and we are going to
make the Boston cream Pie, which is what the Celtics
threw at the face of the Indiana basketball team. My God.
To answer the question, if you didn't see it, I'll
walk you through it. But this is clearly pointing the
direction of the team from the Hoosier State. WHOA. That
(05:09):
was a cosmic struggle. At the end of the game,
you get one job. Get one job at the end
of the game. You couldn't do it any end. Is
up three with ten seconds to go in the game,
got a three point lead. Just inbound the ball. The
Celtics are going to give you a foul. You make
one of the foul shots for all intensive purposes. The
(05:32):
game's over. You had in possession of the ball, possession
is nine tenths of victory, and you screwed it up.
It's it's just wonderful. And then you screwed it up again.
So the game was in the bag. And then the
Pacers decide, you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna
snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. And they did.
(05:54):
They took defeat from the jaws of victory. Very impressive. Now,
Tyrese Halliburton, in the late stages that are over there,
he dribbled the ball off his foot in a big
mom what a klutz, as my grandfather would say. But
the real dunce cap of Dune Caps goes to someone
named Andrew Nebhard who is booking a flight on it's
(06:18):
a one way flight. It's a NonStop, one way flight,
NonStop flight, one way Panic City, because that's where he was.
He was at Panic City. Nebhard on the inbounds played
with ten seconds to go in the game, did the
thing you can't do at the time, you can't do
it a terrible pass and then it bounced off. Pascal
siakam our favorite player in the Indiana basketball team. But
(06:41):
overall final five point thirty regulation and he had more
turnovers than field goals made and the moment was too big.
They choked. They that's an absolute choke. It's not the
Celtics were the better team. This game was there for Indiana.
It was right there, and they gave it back. If
(07:01):
you want to crown them, you can crown the rass
the Celtics, but they didn't play well. All right now, postgame,
Jalen Brown was lesch than pleased in his postgame media
situation there with the Celtics overall performance. He was asked
what the difference was in overtime, fact that we have
the audio on this, here's do we have Jalen Brown? Yes,
(07:23):
all right, we have Jalen We do not coople loop
did not get the sound. I sent it to him
an hour and a half ago. All right, well, I'll
just tell you what he said. So, when asked what
was different in overtime for the Celtics, Jalen Brown said,
quote JT finally woke up, meaning Jason Tatum made some baskets,
made some baskets. Can you decode this one? Can you
(07:45):
decode this one? So it's rather obvious. I wish you
could hear it, but apparently can't. But anyway, listen, Jalen
Brown did not nibble around the edges. He said it postgame,
he said it. And the way I decoded this and
I have a decode ring is he got a mulligan.
Jason Tatum was given a presidential pardon. This was a
(08:08):
hollow win by the Celtics. Tatum missed a wide open
pull up three ball if you saw with thirty six
seconds to go. That has forgotten because Boston won the game.
But he missed a wide open three point shot with
thirty six seconds to go and in the fourth quarter,
so one point game going to the fourth quarter. But
Jason Tatum took seven shots from the floor and missed
(08:30):
five of them. I didn't plan in the NBA, but
I don't think that's good. He was bailed out. He
was bailed out by a bad pass by Indiana and
Jalen Brown taking and making a three point shot while
Pascal Siakam. Not only did they not foul, Siakam put
his hands behind his back. Well, I put my hand
(08:51):
like I'm being handcuffed. I'm putting my hands behind my
back because I do know what to get called for
a foul when you should have just tackled Jalen Brown.
But hey, that's not after the fact. I was screaming
at my television as what are you doing. It's a
bad job by you. But Jason Tatum thirty six points,
and it's another onse weird things that happens a lot
(09:12):
in sports where someone has a sexy stat line and
the uneducated fan, the fan that doesn't know what they're watching,
or they're just fanboys, they're oh, he played so well,
Jason Tittam at thirty six points. It didn't play well.
He took twenty six shots. He got ten from the
charity stripe, but twenty six points on twenty six field
goal attempts, which is not very efficient. Forget saved by
(09:36):
the bell. How about it also saved by the referees.
Tony Brothers should get a game ball and his crew
from Joe Missoula. Tony Brothers should absolutely get a game ball.
Twenty four of thirty from the Charity Stripe. The Boston
basketball team Indiana was nine of ten. So clearly Boston
took many more shots around the basket. That's why they
(09:58):
got fouled, unless they didn't. The Celtics attempted forty five
three point shots forty five Indiana took a lot to
thirty five. This was some old fashioned meddling by the official.
Now this Indiana also turned the ball over. Multiple things
can be true. At the same time. Indiana didn't play well.
They had the game, they blew it even with all that,
(10:19):
but both teams were sloppy. Both teams were sloppy, and
Boston happened to have a night watchman with a whistle
to help them. So you had that, all right, last
word here. So in the lead up to this game,
Indiana's Miles Turner, who I believe he looked like Reggie
(10:41):
Miller in the first half. Maybe I was imagining that,
but Miles Turner of the Pacers said that everybody's quote,
everybody and their mother is rooting for the Celtics. Is
that how you see it? So I contemplated this because
I have no life, and I determined that this is
is Bolshoi as they say in Russia, the Bolshoi Ballet.
(11:05):
So I'm gonna shake my head no on this. The
Celtics are not media darters. No, they have more of
a national fan base because there are people who are
from Boston. All over the country. There's people that like
the Celtics is they've won more championships than anybody in
the NBA. All their championships as Boston Lakers count the
(11:26):
ones from Minnesota, which is fraudulent. We all know that.
So the Celtics have the most championships. But the Celtics
are not the darling of the NBA right now. If
you're talking about Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, and
part of Connecticut, because there's that weird point of demarcation
where like part of Connecticut likes New York sports and
then there's part that like the Boston sports. But it's
(11:48):
more I think it's more New York than than Boston.
When I've been there anyway. The rest of the country.
The rest of the country when you look at the
Celtics and you're like, it's like Switzerland, You're neutral, can
be when it comes to that, you don't really hate them.
They're not really hateable like some old Celtic teams. And
you also like the chocolate. You like you like getting chocolate,
you like that, just like Switzerland. But outside of ex Bostonians,
(12:12):
it's not universal support. Jason Tatum, for all the accolades
that he's gotten over his career as the face of
the Celtics, does not have that widespread slobber slab or
slobber where everyone genuflects to him and the Celtics team.
They have not yet captured the heart, mind and soul
(12:34):
of the average Drabbroni. Now, if they win, and they
do it with Gusto and Rasmtaz, we're going to have
that happen because that's part of the package. That's the
all inclusive package. When you win a championship. The band Wagner,
as our old friend Blair and Man used to say
that fan will go gaga, and we saw it with
(12:56):
Golden State when they had their run, and we'll see
what transpires here with the Selish, but they win, and
then of course that will be the case. But right now,
to answer Miles Turner question. Miles Turner's question, I don't
see it that way. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

Ali from the Tyrock dot Com Fox Sports Radio studios.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
It's Ben Malor.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Eastern Finals Game one in the books. We're talking about
that right now. All things on the table. There's actually
no table. It's there's like a it's like a desk.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
It's a studio.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
It's not really a table. I mean it's a it's
a studio. So there's I'm not sitting in front of
a table. Anyway, we're hanging out with you. You'd like
to be part, speakeasy rules are in. In fact, we are
available on x though. If you would like to be part,
you can join us there and all the commentary that
comes in. Chip and the Cues says a plus on
the Mallard monologue. By the way, Chip points out longtime listening.
(15:48):
In fact, he was part of one of the original
Malard meet and grease at a chicken finger joint in
Syracuse years and years ago. He says, By the way,
today is my birthday and I'm stuck at work. I
was I was supposed to be on vacation, but the
request got quote lost close quote Ah yeah, Chip says,
(16:09):
can you say something to trim me up? Well, I
know you said the word please chip at the end
of that. But we don't do shoutouts. As you know,
this is an overnight show. We get paid like it.
It's not a morning Zoos show, so we cannot give
you a shout out. But it would be interesting if
you just got a little tired, a little sick, maybe
had to leave early from the shift, and somebody else
(16:30):
has to put the cans of tomato soup on the
on the shelves there on Aisle seven. You just got
a little ill there. But yeah, I have work with
people that always take their birthday off. When I was
a kid, I never want to go to school on
my birthday because I hated school. But I kind of
like my job, so I don't really mind, like working
my birthday falls on a night I'm working. Ryan in
(16:52):
Sunday Ago all rights in He says, the big dumb
dumb did a worthy for the pay there. Just throw
the rock in bounds and you win the game. Yeah,
there were there were some major brain flatulence, major brain
flatulence by the Indiana basketball. Yeah that's not only that
(17:16):
you throw the ball and you win the game. Then
you turn the ball over, so Boston's got the ball
and you're like well, foul them, foul them before they
shoot a three point shot, and then and then they
can't tie the game and they have to you get
fouled again, you get another opportunity to get foul and
you play it out that way. But instead Pascal Siakam
(17:38):
has his hands behind his back while Jalen Brown is
shooting the three point shot. Way to contest the shot,
hands behind the back. Femi, who's all gung ho? He's
so he's howling at the moon like a wolf because
he's a tenowolf guy, says Ben, Is this how the
Eastern Conference is playing? Safe to say the NBA champion
(18:00):
is going to be Minnesota or Dallas. Calm down for me, stay,
stay calm, come come come. Yes. Then Shane Shane from
Des Moines says, would you mind asking Mark the full
name guy a question? Well, he's not on I can't
(18:24):
ask him a question. He's not he's not online. So
if he calls up, I could ask him a question.
But it's not like he's on the schedule. He's got
the night off from calling the show. He's he's assigned
to picking his nose tonight. Milkman Mike in Colorado, right,
sinces a spot on, although he wrote spit on, so
(18:44):
maybe he met spin on. Opening Malle monologue Eastern Conference Finals.
Still not convinced after their meltdown last year that the
Boston Celtics have this series locked up. Also, I know
we do not do the shout outs, but if we did,
I would ask you to congratulate my oldest son, Cayden,
(19:06):
who graduated high school. So listen, I know, Milkman, Mike,
you're very proud of your son there, Cayden. And it's
a great life of vents, right everyone, you get through
high school, then you go out and you either go
to college, you get a real job and all that
and wonderful. Great, But we don't do shoutouts, so screw you.
We're not We're not doing it. Okay, I can't do it.
(19:27):
Cannot do it, Brian says, your Pacers with a complete
joke job at the end of the fourth not putting
the Celtics away and handing them the game and over there. Well, Brian, no, no,
I'm on the side of the Celtics in this series.
I'm on the Celtics, not the Pacers. Bad job. I
recommend going to Costco. The hearing Aid Center and getting
your your hearing aid updated. There wrong again, that's a
(19:50):
bad job by you. You feed me at Chicago's, says Hey
Malard eight plus in a box of Crystal Burgers on
the Malard monologue. Did you see that mister NFL is
finally going to add precise computer measurements instead of the
chain game. Yes, I saw that. We will discuss that.
That's on my list. We'll get to that letter. I
don't really do list, but it's on my big board.
Later in the show. I just see Mark, the full
(20:12):
name guy is listening, so maybe he'll call in, he says.
The Gazon blogger, he says, has making comments about Middle
East relations. It's a sports radio show, Mark, that's not
really what we handle here.
Speaker 6 (20:26):
In these parts.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Stay in your lane. As LeVar Ball said, the Internet, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
the Internet. You can just put anything out there. Late
Night drug Test just says, great start to the show.
I was assuming now that Eddie mentioned the Royals in
his Games of note that they would be the subject
of the first Male of Model.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
People in Kansas City very upset with Eddie and I
have a source at our affiliate in Kansas City and
they have like a text line at six your suck
at six ' ten sports, and they were outraged of
the West Coast media bias by Eddie Garcia, who failed
the mentioned the Royal score as a game. Well, I'm
(21:04):
talking about yesterday.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
That's in.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Edie got a call. Eddie got a call. Eddie got
a call.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Get calls about w NB.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Oh yeah, the w wnby so stupid. Do you see?
Do you see the ratings for Caitlin Clark have gone
down there? Did you see that? The shot? It's amazing.
I don't know why it's so popular. No one loves it.
Matt Moving, Oh, here's a blast from the pass. We've
heard this guy in a long time. Moving man, Matt,
who's got the official mobile Mallard billboard coming to a
(21:34):
state near you. He says, that's a winner. He says,
do it live. He's headed to the Big Apple in
the full Mallard billboard. Matt, you gotta let me know.
Now you're going to be in Manhattan. My brother lives
in Manhattan. We might have to do a drive by.
H well, not that kind of dry, my brother.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
We could.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I'll tell you my brother's place that you can drive by.
That'd be great. Oh, we got to do that. Send
me an email movie. He got my email, moving man, Matt.
We'll see if we can set that up. Do you
see how expensive it is to take the bridges if
you're a truck into Manhattan. It's insane how much they
the taxes and that wild They just completely gouger complains
(22:12):
bad enough if you're in a regular car, but you
go into Manhattan and one of those giant trucks. I
looked online for some real a while back when I
was driving around when I was visiting my brother, and
I was like, you gotta be joking. That's insane. One
thing we are not joking about, though, is something we
like to call in these parts Benny Bonus. Baby. You
(22:32):
see today is such a great day for sports talk radio.
I will be playing too. Yeah, I'll be doing a
double header day night, doubleheader here doing the overnight show
right now, and then if you're in Los Angeles, you
can hear me on their midday show from noon to
three o'clock Pacific Sun up, mouth up. I'll be talking right.
(22:56):
I'll be in for a former NFL quarterback for the
Detroit Lions, Rodney Pete, who does a show in La
here in our affiliate our flagship AM five seventy with
the Dean of La Sports, Fred Rogan. So I'll be
on in LA and it is available for around the country.
I want to listen on the iHeart app. You can
hear that, so check that out. I haven't done that
(23:18):
in a while. I think I pissed somebody off, but
they have allowed me to come back. So I will
be sitting in there and I am looking forward to that.
We've got the Unicorn Watch. The Unicorn Watch any very expensive, Well,
I'll save that for that. How about this the sky
is blue kind of quote? The sky is blue. We'll
get to that as well, But right now, let's get
(23:39):
you caught up on everything going on in the overnight
and we say hello too. Games of note, Garcia.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Now I heard you mentioned earlier about the carpet cleaning
folks today. Did they get your studio this time? Because
remember I didn't last time. They were unable to do
it because you were doing well show.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
No, I was, Jason and Harmon were here doing there.
But where I sit in the very back the old
update studio. Well, you got to go out of this room.
You make a right turn and then a left turn,
go down the hall, make a left turn, and then
make another left and they they had cleaned that and
there was a thick chemical smell.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
I have it now in here.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Okay, yeah, good, enjoy that. Why would you say good
because I spent an hour in the back room sniffing
the chemical.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Well, I had nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
It's kind of your fault, Powell. I want to blame you.
Loraina told me to blame you.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
I feel like I need to put a mask on
in between.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Oh you want to go ahead? We did that a
lot in twenty twenty. Going back to that, you want
a mask.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
I don't want to, but I'm not a fan of
this chemical smell. With every breath I take it.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Just pull your sweater up over your nose. At well,
some people still do. I think there's still people who
do updates with masks on, so you can just talk
into it like the mask and you know, have a muddle.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Muddled doesn't sound very good. We're professionals.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I've got eddie, I said, I sound same, I got
I got my shirt over my mouth. I don't sound
any different, right, what's it all?
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Let's get to the police blotterer in sports. Yeah, we
love police blog. That's why we're here overnight just to
report the police.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Water Louisville Metro Police Department is continuing its investigation of
the events surrounding the Scottish Scheffler arrest last Friday. The
department says they will provide additional updates on Thursday. And
the photographer who accused chiefs Wide Receiver Rashie Rice of
assaulting him at a Dallas night club is signed out
with David asking the Dallas Police Department to not file chargers,
(25:40):
saying the incident was a misunderstanding.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
So it appears that Rashi Rice has cut a check
to a camera person who will be paying for dinner. Methinks,
usually that's how that works at Yes, usually there's a
nice giant from size cartoon check that is sent forward. Anyway,
it is the Ben Show and let's have some fun
(26:04):
fun fact. It is time for the fun fact and
here we go. Victor wem Baniyama. That is a basketball
player from Parie who plays on the River Walk there
in San Antonio first rookie to be selected to the
NBA All Defensive First Team overall. He is the sixth
rookie to earn a spot on the NBA's All Defensive team.
(26:29):
How many of the other five can Eddie Garcia name?
How many of the other five can Eddie Eddie Garcia name? Well,
let's go with bam Adebayou. That is incorrect, you're over one.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Let's go with Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
That is zero for two. All right, again, this is
all time second team All NBA Defensive as a rookie.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Oh, I don't know, Victor when Bayama.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Well, no, that doesn't count. We said.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
In addition, Rudy Gobert, no, that's wrong, and Herbert Jones.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
You got all of them wrong.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
That's the All Defensive first Team for this year, which
is what people care about.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
If I asked you about the w NBA, you'd get
them all right, because you're more of a w NBA
fan these days.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
But oh, that's you asked me to give those stories?
Was a lie?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That is incorrect. You're giving out erroneous information. Bad job.
But you now the answer is Tim Duncan. Back in
the nineties, I wasn't even alive. Then David Robinson in
nineteen ninety Minute Bowl. I have fun memories that early
in my radio career when I was a stringer.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
How about the kim Bin Mudumbo.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
When I watched Minute Bowl shoot three point shots for
the Golden State Wars and Don Nelson. I still laughed
my ass off seven foot seven Eddie and he shot
it was It was wild.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
So graceful too.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
It didn't look awkward at all, not at all, not
at all.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
But Minut Bowl was on there. Hakeem Elijah Wan in
the nineteen eighties also and one other one Eddie, one
other one that's incorrect, Wow, should be on there. No,
no Kareem abdul Jabbar, the Milwaukee Bucks, so Wemby in
the company of Elijah wah abdul Jabar, Minute Ball, Robinson
(28:08):
and Duncan. Let's go to the Fox. We'll say hello
to weed Man Hippie who's on Lincoln Road in Miami. Hello,

game showing me how in f both those teams are

young have no idea how great that was. That was
the YouTube of the of the eighties.

I was on Channel No No No.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
But but I'm saying we've met. Like nowadays, all those
shows are on YouTube, but back in those days, they
didn't have YouTube, so people did their own shows on
public access. It was great.

Ben, what I can't live my life the way I'm
doing it right now? I can't. I got I got
out here and there's no electric I can't. It's like

a smart decision. Yeah, you need the power, I got you.

Right, Well, I've never met God, so I'm not sure.
But maybe someday I'll let you know. Actually I won't
be able to report if I meet God. I don't
think I'll be able to report back. So I don't know.

Weed.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Somebody has a guardian angel for weed. Man want to
help him out. He's a relatively harmless He just likes
to smoke weed and on his phone. That's about it
as far as we know. I mean, I don't really
know him in real life. I've never met him, but
that's what I know of him. So yeah, it's like
the weed and likes to futch around on his phone.
(34:13):
The Celtics said had been assumed that Chris tops Porzingis
would not would not need be needed against the Pacers.
That still could be the case didn't look that way
in game one, but it appears that Porzingis is on
track to return to the Celtics that he should be
available by Game four of the Eastern Conference Finals against
the Pacers, assuming there are no more setbacks now. If
(34:36):
the Boston Celtics win the next couple of games, it
would be rather shocking if Porzingis ends up actually playing,
but that option is available. Time now for the who
Am I? Game? In defeat, Pacers, guard Tyrese Halliburton tied
Stephen Curry and me for the NBA record for most
three pointers made in a Conference Finals debut. Again in
(34:59):
the low Pacers guard ty Reese Halliburton, who dribbled the
ball off his foot at a time you can't do that,
tied Steph Curry and me for the NBA record for
most three pointers made in a Conference Finals debut. Who
Am I? The answer? We'll get to it. We'll do
it next.

NBA correspondent. He's the only one not on Lebron's payroll.
