Speaker 1 (00:35):
The Wolves Go tim Ber, tim Well, come.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
In not beginning, Come another night of the Benmahler Show.
We are in the air everywhares we pop over for
a visit, and we are gas bags on demand coast

Approved by legends like Van the one Legged Bamaman Gunner
who's in hiding in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Can you blame him? Femi the Uber each driver. He's
also not real happy right now, but I know alamdlou
somewhere in the Bay Area very happy. As we begin

Way Tire Buying showb So our lead again, it's the
never ending NBA postseason. So we'll start out with that.
We'll go to the Twin Cities. That is where Stephen
(02:05):
Kerry in Golden State, the Traveling Circus arriving at the
Target Center game number one. Oh well that was I
think that wasn't part of Let's try that again game
number one. Okay, there we go now, so you gotta
work out the kinks. There we go. So Game one
Western Conference Semifinals at the Target Center downtown Minnesota. Be there,
(02:27):
b Square and Edwards on the other side, and you
had the Timberwolves who were strutting, they were styling, they
were profiling after shoving it down Lebron James throat and
eliminating that annoying Laker team. So here you go. Now
you're set up and this is the matchup. You take
out a bunch of big names in the NBA. For
(02:47):
you're Anthony Edwards, So I don't know if you saw
the game or not. Maybe you were not watching, possibly not.
Don't worry, we were watching, so you wouldn't have to.
Buddy Healed did not get off to a great start,
but it's not how you start. I was told, it's
how finish, and he ended up with twenty four points.
I think he missed his first seven shots, but after
that he rarely missed twenty four points. Jimmy Butler added
(03:10):
twenty and eleven, and Golden State ended up butchering the
timber Wolves. Is they win this one? And never any
question they were gonna win the game a little bit
the leader was down tonight. Did you really think that
at any moment the Warriors were going to lose the game? No,
(03:34):
even Draymon Draymond Green is knocking down three point shots.
He made four to three point shots. I think they
were all in the first half, eighteen points in the game.
So game two will be on Thursday, but we're focusing
in on game one, and the better story is in
the losing locker. We should be noted though, before we
get to that, that Steph Curry had a case of
(03:58):
snap crackle pop worthy the word oh my hammy, it
went whammy for Steph Curry limited to thirteen minutes and
Golden State still ends up winning the game. The better story, though,
as I said, is in the losing locker room. So
let us discuss the question for the esteem panel post
(04:18):
game game one here the question was this just an
off night by Anthony Edwards, who was not only a
basketball player, was terrible? Was this just an off night
by Anthony Edwards? Or there a deeper level of concern
for Minnesota. So I've got Blink, two naked gun, and billiards,
(04:39):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we're gonna make a delicious, juicy lucy which doesn't taste
quite as good because the Wolves sucked at a time
you cannot suck. So a if you examine deep inside
(05:00):
the weeds, the question about Anthony Edwards is this just
an off game? Or is this a sign of a
deeper level of concern? The scale is leaning towards sky
is falling? What are you doing here? All right? Because
this is your this is your alpha a right or
alpha dog? This is your guy. And another another hiccup. Listen,
(05:22):
He's a fun player to watch Anthony Edwards. There were
some games, even the series they beat the Lakers, where
Anthony Edwards was not the reason that Minnesota was winning
those games. It was a plotting performance by Anthony Edwards.
And he's kind of like going to it to Applebe's.
You know, sometimes you go to Applebee's and the food's
really good, and it's fine and solid meal, solid meal,
(05:45):
and that's like Anthey often pretty solid, and then occasionally
the quality control the food's not prepared properly and you
might end up with the stomach ache. And much like
watching Anthony Edwards play basketball, it's interesting to say he
did not have the big d energy. Remember he announced
to the world that he's got the biggest Johnson in
the world. He let the Laker historians know that. Well,
(06:08):
on this night, it was the Blink one point eight
two song, all the small things he was I think
it was a micro situation for Anthony Edwards in this game,
living up to the ant man Moniker and the incredible
shrinking man. Anthony versh for eight from the floor in
the first he started the game, oh for ten. He
(06:29):
finally scored at the eight minute mark of the third quarter.
That's my franchise player right there, Anthony Edwards, and down
twenty three points. That was the high water mark. Down
twenty three points. At that point, Anthony Edwards said, you
know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna play like Dak
Prescott in garbage time in an NFL game and fatten
(06:50):
up my stats. And so that's what he did. So
you look at the stats, so oh, it wasn't that bad, okay,
But in the flow of the game, Anthony Edwards was atrocious,
absolutely astrocious. Now it's not just Anthony Evers. He's the headliner.
So it's like you go to see a Broadway show
and above the fold, above the marquee. There headline performer
(07:14):
does not perform well. Well, other people didn't perform well
as well, but that's the headliner. But if you look
at the circle of disgrace for the Minnesota basketball team,
several running mates the Timberwolves watching them play in the
second quarter, in the third quarter of this game, like
(07:35):
salt on a snail, they just melted. The second quarter
was bad, bad. It was so bad. I flipped over.
I was touching in baseball and I didn't really enjoy
the baseball game. So it was like, at least they're trying.
I don't think the Timberwolves were trying. And then you
had Rudy Gobert who turned back into a pumpkin. Is
(07:57):
like he was in a choke hold and man alive.
I guess when you don't see those Laker uniforms, you
you don't look like Shaquille O'Neal anymore. You had quiet
performance Rudy Gobert. Julius Randall had eighteen points. It was
four of eleven and the kil Alexander Walker played about
(08:17):
fifteen minutes. He had a cardio game in a playoff game.
Cardio game. No points, no rebounds, no assists. That's a
cardio game. So way to go man. All right now,
page two, let's get down in to the injury tent tier.
My god, So how are things looking for Golden State
at this point with the injury to you know who?
(08:42):
So how are things looking for Steph Curry after the
hamstring injury where he played thirteen minutes and then he
started grabbing his hamstring and they took him out. He
did not come back into the game. So you have
the public and the private. Much like politics, you have
the public and the private. So publicly Steph Curry is
listed as day to day and he's got left hamstring
(09:05):
strain and exod. He's in a bad mood, you know,
he's little bummed out and all that stuff. He's gonna
have an MRI on Wednesday and they'll assess what grade.
It's all about grades, much like when you were in
high school. It's all about grades. So they have to
determine the grade of the injury and how long will
he be out? Now we do not know, but I
(09:26):
am a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostrudinas.
And while I am not a doctor, I have practiced
on the radio. I have my sports radio medical degree.
So after eight minutes long investigation into the Steph Curry
injury and hamstring injuries in general, we have determined, based
on my overnight medical training, that the recovery time for
(09:49):
Steph Curry will be at a bare minimum ten days.
That's a week and a half, which will take him
out of what three four games? Maybe he can come
back if there's a game six in this series. That's
the top sinnari ten days, so he'll be out ten
days and then the other option, if it's a Grade
(10:12):
two strain, then.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Go bye.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
He'll be out for a month and a half a month.
It's May that'll take you to mid June. It's May
that takes you to mid June, so see you later.
And it's also the type of injury that lingers. And
that's also a bit of an issue. Now. If you
take a wide angle view up from thirty thousand feet
(10:44):
in the plan, you look down at Steph Curry and
you say, what's going on here? It's like, well, Steph
Curry's going Hollywood here. I know he likes to dabble
in documentaries and things like that, but this is a
remake of The Naked Gun and he's playing the Oj
Simpson character Norberg right at Nordberg. He's a walking disaster
doing slapstick comedy in these playoffs right now. Because not
(11:06):
only does he have the hammy that went whammy, he's
also got the thumb, which is the over the top,
all mangled thumb, his spraying thumb, which looks like it's
the size of some kind of foam thing you'd buy
at an amusement park. So you've got that and without Curry.
The Warriors now will depend more on Jimmy Butler and
(11:28):
Buddy Healed, Buddy Ball and also Draymond Green. Right now,
last word, so how would you describe how would you
describe the Wolves performance to start to start this series
here with the Golden Say Warriors. So my word is frazzled. Now.
I did like the fact that Chris Finch, the coach
(11:50):
of the Timberwolves, did not bite his tongue. In fact,
he unloaded, which means he's probably gonna lose his job soon.
The coach of the Timberwolves. Listen to him unload on
Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Postgame starts with Anthony, you know he I thought he's
was uh, you know, he struggled early and then you
could just kind of see the light go out a
little bit for a while, and then you know, obviously
we had to try to get him going in the
second half. But I think, you know, it was one
of those games where he kind of came out with
the predetermined mindset that he was trying to do and
(12:23):
just rather than just playing the game that was in
front of him. What is there to talk about. I mean,
you're they're they're the leader of the team, and you
got to come out and set the tone. Yeah, come on, man,
you and if it's if your shots not going like you,
you still have to carry the energy, you know. So
I don't think there's if I got to talk to
guys about having the right energy coming into opening around game,
(12:47):
opening the second round game, and you know we're not
you know we're not on the same page.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
So yeah, there you go. Take that, Anthony Edwards. So
so essentially what he said is Edwards had in his
head he the way he wanted to play, and he
couldn't play that way and he just fell apart. He
just had he just had nothing nothing. You know. It's
like it's kind of when I come in here and
I do a monologue and in the monologue sucks, right,
(13:14):
first monologue blows, and then I gotta do the show
the rest of the show. I can't just have a
pity party. There's no pity party.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
They screw up the first monologue and then you gotta
do the whole rest of the damn show. And you're
in a bad mood, but you gotta, you gotta go forward,
you because the great thing about this this job is
you never know when people listen, right, there's always new
people tuning in. Unfortunately, there's also people tuning out, which
is a problem anyway. So I use the word frazzle
(13:44):
to describe the Minnesota basketball team. Minnesota had six days
of rest. Every team that had rest lost. Everyone's freaking
out by that. Oh my god, they should not have
any rest. No one should have shot up. It's a
small sample size, small sample size. Uh, And they ended
up poll axing the Lakers. And then when you get
extra rest because you poll axe, that's a good thing.
(14:06):
They're the younger team, all of that, and it didn't matter.
It didn't matter. And the most embarrassing thing, though, is
you lost a game at home and Steph Curry essentially
didn't play thirteen minutes is nothing, and you still lost
the game. How embarrassing is that. I know there's no
(14:27):
such thing as home court advantage anymore. We'll get to
that later, but my god, you had a fully healthy roster.
You had Anthony Edwards out there who was urinating down
his leg and you can't capitalize it. And it's kind
of like billiards, right, You've now put yourself in a
position where the other teams you lost to a team
without their best player, and you've put yourself behind the
(14:49):
eight ball in the series like that was one. That's
a gimme. If I told you two days ago Steph
Curry is going to play thirteen minutes in that game. Okay,
how fast can I get to my app on my phone?
Put a bed in? How fast? My god? The timberwol
shooting was abysmal. Three point they looked like the Celtics.
(15:11):
They didn't shoot as many, but they looked like this.
Oh fifteen from three point range for Minnesota in the
first half. And the other thing that stood out not
only could they not shoot, they also could not hustle. Apparently,
I guess hustle was optional because they failed to contest shots.
All those old hustle stats I had, charges drawn, deflections,
(15:35):
hustling for rebounds, loose balls recovered on the screening, all
of that stuff was in the negative. It seemed like
watching the game and the fighting for rebounds, the Minnesota
basketball team allowed eighteen offensive rebounds that gave the Warriors,
if my math is correct, here a ton of second
(15:56):
chance points despite being shorthanded. Right in, Minnesota supposed to
have better interior players and it didn't matter. It is
the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like to comment on
any of that, you can join us here. The lines

So candid microphone and the overreaction machine getting cranked up.
We'll get to those stories and we will do it
next however, Oh yes, it is the A block. It's
(17:01):
the first live read of the night.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Woo.
Speaker 1 (17:05):

but calm down, blind them, and everythings gonna be okay. Here,

Number two, We go now to Northern Ohio where the
sports fans are passionate and the teams let you down.
Who gets to wear the Dunce cap for the Spider
Mitchell Cavs. They blew a twenty plus point lead in
that game to the Indiana Pacers, and had a big
lead even in the final seconds and gave it all back.
(18:06):
And how are things looking for the Tyres Halliburton reputation?
What these first two games do for the Pacers Tyres
Halliburton who has been lampooned by many but has been
the hero for Indiana these first couple of games. And
how much trouble our Donovan Mitchell's calves in They've lost
(18:27):
both games at home. They were the number one seed
in the Eastern Conference. We'll talk about all that and
more right now, settle in for us spicy our number two.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
You gotta keep the pace and if you don't keep
the pay, you're gonna lose. You're going to be a loser,
is what's gonna happen. Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are in the
a everywhere as we stop by and have a place
(19:06):
at the table. I don't think it's the grown up table,
but we're hanging out. We're talking sporty stuff all night long,
coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
mast and rightfully powerful microphones of fsre.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Am monating live from the dunk the windmill Slam Dunk from.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The Fox Sports Radio studios, which are approved by our
guy in Fort Wayne, America's favorite crossing guard there in
Fort Wayne, who I assume likes the pacers, but maybe not.
And this portion of the Ben Malor Show is made
possible by tire Rack. For over forty years, tire Rack
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
(19:52):
what and where they drive ship fast and freeback by
free road hazard protection. Fer dog likes that a lot
with convenient installation options. That's for alf the alien opinter
like mobile tire installation tire raq dot com the Way
Tire Buying show be so our lead this hour is
(20:12):
from pro Bouncy Ball, and we ranted and raved last
hour about the win for the Golden State Warriors on
the road. So they are up one to zero in
that series, but it was game two. We go now
to Cleveland and the number one seed in the entire
Eastern Comms. They were monster mashing during the regular season,
(20:36):
but now it's the second round of the playoffs. The
Cleveland basketball team and the location for game number two
their Eastern Conference semi finals. That the setup after the
Tyrese Haliburton Pacers stole game number one in the series
and Spider Mitchell's calves we're trying to bounce back here
and win game two. You know the setup, right, So
(20:57):
that's the setup. And you didn't see the game here,
maybe not. It was the early game on the card.
I don't know if you're watching or not, but Tyrese
Halliburton made a three pointer with one point one seconds
to go in said game one point one seconds remaining,
and that elevated to a higher level. The Indiana Pro
(21:19):
Bouncy Ball team as the Pacers scored the final eight
points in forty seven point nine seconds forty seven point
nine seconds to stun absolutely take the guts out of
the Cleveland basketball team one twenty to one nineteen. Good afternoon,
(21:41):
good evening, and good night. Now as the Pacers, the
Little Pacers are up to nothing in the Eastern Conference
semi final. Now Halliburton scored eleven of his nineteen points
in the final quarter of basketball. That'd be the last
twelve minutes. There's four to twelve minute quarters. Matt Andrew
(22:01):
Nebhardt stole a inbound pass from Max Struce, who had
a hammer dunk earlier that seemingly put the game out
of reach, but he did not. When Max Shruce dunks,
you figure it's your night. It wasn't your night. So
Nemhart stole the inbound pass. With twenty seven and a
half seconds the remaining in the game in Indiana, tried
(22:23):
to find the tying three point shot, but Halliburton ended
up driving, he got fouled, he went to the line,
he made the first foul shot and he breaked it
he missed the second one, but Halliburton. As the Kavs
were caught twiddling their thumbs, Halliburton snuck in there. He
got the offensive rebound, and he dribbled out to the
(22:46):
three point line and delivered from downtown. Halliburton just like me. I'men,
I'm moneyball, mallor when I'm out there and I'm on
the court and I'm putting down the moneyball, that's what
I look like. You don't really see that kind of
activity in the NBA, but that's exactly what happened there.
And my goodness. So the Pacers end up winning the
(23:09):
game a futile final attempt by the Cleveland Pro bouncy
Ball team. There at the end, Miles Turner and aaron
Nei Smith led the way for the number four seed
Indiana Pacers. Theych had fun. Yeah, there you go. Theyj
had twenty three points. It's the first time the Pacers
have won the first two games of a playoff series
(23:30):
on the road since nineteen ninety four. I wasn't even
alive in nineteen ninety Oh my god, nineteen ninety four,
Holy crap. That was against the Orlando Magic, who I
believe at that time had Shaquille O'Neill. I believe at
that time shaq was was doing his thing. So now
Donovan Mitchell had forty eight points for the Cleveland basketball team.
(23:53):
We saw a lot of that pose at the end
of the game, the cobe reposed by the fame. There
better story, though, is in that locker room, the losing
locker room. So let us address and as we will
discuss the outcome of this game. So all right, who
gets to wear the Dunce cap for the Spider Mitchell Cavaliers?
(24:17):
Who gets to wear the Dunce cap on this one?
I've got chartered flight, Mark Twain and classic commercials, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a delicious corn beef sandwich, just
a marvelous sandwich, the corn beef sandwich. All right, So
(24:39):
number I said a number to answer the question who
gets to wear the Dunce cap for the Spider Mitchell calves.
We'll get to that. I wanted to mention though, this
is a textbook example, a textbook example of the motto
of the show. And I've been doing this for a
(24:59):
couple of minut and it's, you know, kind of new
around here. But I've always pointed out the better stories
of the losing locker room. Most games are also lost.
They are not won. That people think of tremendous performance
as winning games. But in order to have that you
have to have the other side have a bunch of
brain farts. And we got that. We got that right.
(25:21):
I mean again, this is an example here. You think
of the history of flight in the Right Brothers and
how important that was. They're credited with the the the
beginning of human flight, and in this game it was
the Wrong Brothers for the cavaliers there, my god, a
(25:42):
Cleveland got a chartered flight. They took the whole team
out and destination Choke City. That was where the flight
was headed, and they made it. They landed right there
in Choke City late in the game, and they suffered
a panic attack and everyone could see it. And so
we ended up getting a value pack of year to
pass out dune caps. Max Struce gets the first dune cap.
(26:04):
He's the number one Dingleberry gdulation. Not only was he
unable to complete a basic basketball play, a fundamental play
passing the ball in bounds, he also shot two of
seven down the stretch. No I have an unpopular opinion.
(26:26):
I believe Donovan Mitchell deserves a level of bit. Well,
you had forty eight puts. You don't know ball, You
don't know ball. Bet he had forty eight points. Okay,
But isn't the whole point of this to close the job?
And you're the star and everyone else is hurt, and
this is your team and you're the big megastar and
you're getting all the big money and all that, and
(26:47):
your team is at home. You lost the first game.
Don't you have to make some more plays down the
stretch to prevent that to happen. Oh he didn't. He
did not. And despite the forty eight Cleveland, they were
up twenty. They had a seventeen point lead with six
seconds to go in the third quarter of this game,
seventeen point lead with twelve minutes and six seconds to
(27:08):
go in the game. They shot the rest of the
game somehow, twenty six point three percent from the floor.
They took nineteen shots, they missed fourteen of them to
close the game out. And Donovan Mitchell didn't do enough
at the time he was supposed to do enough. He
did not do enough. And so there you are, and
(27:31):
you're you're the front man, it's your band. You're you're
the lead singer. And you lost your voice at the end. There,
you had laryngitis at the end. And let's not forget
Kenny Atkinson, the head coach. Listen to Kenny Atkinson, this
is the coach of the year in the NBA. How
awkward your name coach of the year and your team
goes out there and rides the vomit commet Listen to
(27:52):
Kenny Atkinson make some excuses for his team.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
I would just say, collectively, we ran out of gas.
They kept turning an impressive up. Like I said, holding,
grabbing and foulingite honestly, but that's the play you know,
that's the playoffs. I'm not complaining about it that the
you know, rest did a good job. I just think
you have to be played through fouling and holding and grabbing,
(28:16):
and we just we didn't have the We didn't have
the force left.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
All right. So I've got my my malor Rosetta stone.
It sounds to me like the Cavs coach is pointing
out his team is not designed for playoff basketball. He's
saying right there, his team is a fraud. Send that
out lead A Lapp put that out on next Kenny
Atkinson's announced that the Cleveland Cavaliers are a fraudulent basketball team,
that they're a regular season team, they're not designed for
(28:43):
the playoffs, and that they can't handle physicality because the
soft they're driving a mister Softy truck to the arena
every day, they can't handle. That's what it sounds like
to me, am I being overly dramatic. I don't think
I am. I know strip club John and Cleveland's agreeing
with me. I know that. I think Ohio Al shaking
his said yes, I believe they are now page two.
So what are these first two games? Both wins for
(29:07):
the Indiana basketball team? What do they do for the Pacers?
And mainly what do they do for Tyreese Halliburton the
star and his reputation. So it's only two game series,
isn't over? Certainly we do the show right now, so
we're not gonna worry about what happens coming up. We're
gonna worry about what's happening right now. So at this moment,
this is the same guy, like a couple of weeks ago,
(29:28):
was voted the most overright overright A player in the
entire sport. Not by some media hacks or fanboys. This
was by his contemporaries, his co workers, the people he
plays against, said that he's the most overrated player in
the sport. This is also the same player whose father
(29:49):
got into the face of the Greek freak on the
court after the Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Pacers, and
it was that whole awkward thing. So Haliburt has been
taken on some shrapnel over the last couple of weeks,
and in the span of the last two playoff games,
Tyrese Haliburton has gone full Mark Twain and he's pulled
(30:11):
out his Remington number two typewriter and he is rewriting
his story. Here. It's a rewrite for Tyreese Aliburton not
only the clutch game winning jumper in game number two,
but also he played hero ball back in game number one,
as we talked about the other day, and so back
to back big time road playoff performances. Now, the counter
(30:33):
argument is, well, the Cavs aren't and he's the luckiest guy,
and he's got the curse. They put the voodoo on
the other team, and the other team doesn't have their
best players and the Milwaukee team didn't have Dame Lillard,
and this team Cleveland's without three or four of the
top guys and blah blah blah blah. Okay, but history
(30:54):
will not remember that. History will remember Haliburton hitting game
winning shots and that that's what history is going to
remember here and making big Bass gets twenty two points
in Sunday's win and then follows it up and he
had to go ahead three pointer midway through the fourth
quarter in that particular game. And then moments after Haliburton
(31:17):
hits the big jumper in the game on Tuesday night,
he earned himself a tax deductible charitable donation. Did you
notice what he did after he hit the shot? If
you saw the highlight or not. He honored the legacy
of Sam Cassell, half man, half alien, Sam Cassell as
Tyrene Saliburton did the Big Ball Dance. He did the
(31:39):
Big Ball Dance. Celebration there Kobe Bryants done the big
back in his day. He did the Big Ball dance.
Lebron James I think just grabbed his drunk. He was
a version of the Big Ball dance. And do you
know what that originated? That originated in a movie in
a baseball movie. The character that is iconic in Major
(32:02):
League Dennis Haysbert character Serrano did the big Ball dance
and that was copied by Sam Kassel. And every time
a player's done it, they've gotten fined. The NBA does
not want their players to announce they have large testicles.
They do not want that, and you'll get fined. And
so Tyree Saliburton will be fine for that. All right? Now,
final point, how much trouble? Let's do a state of
(32:25):
the team address. How much trouble are the number one
seeded Cleveland? I said, number one seedy? There, number one
seeded Cavaliers. We got, how much trouble are the in?
All right? So there's a phrase. I think we've all
heard this along the road to life. If not, i'll
(32:45):
tell you again. If you find yourself in the bottom
of a hole, you should probably stop digging. So put
the shovel down. That's the first thing they need to do.
They've dug themselves a massive hole. And the thing is
that Indiana didn't really play well in Game two for
most of the game and they still won anyway, like
they were really out of it. I was like that,
(33:07):
I put a note down on my little notes thing
on my phone. I was watching the games. It doesn't
look like the same team. What happened? And I was
gonna was gonna come out and kill them. I was like, well,
they looked like they were satisfied to win Game one,
the Pacers, and they just they just didn't have it.
And then all of a sudden they found it. But
I don't even think they really found it. I think
it was more that Cleveland just gave the game away
(33:28):
with stupidity at the end. And so it ends up
being a combo of a couple of classic commercials for
the Cavaliers, the State of the Cavaliers Address for Donovan
Mitchell and friends. You've got two classic commercials. You've got
the clap on, clap off the clapper right, clap on,
clap off the clapper right, just like that, and then
you've got the classic commercial from life call I fall
(33:52):
It and I can't get up. I fall it, I
can't get it, just like that. Now, the classes half
full crowd will say, well, it's just injuries and all,
but that's part of the sport, right, I mean, that
is part of the sport. And so Cleveland was without
the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year. Evan Mobley bad ankle,
he was out of the lineup. DeAndre hunter Key reserve
(34:17):
right thumb injury. He's out of the lineup. Darius Garland,
the playmaker, the facilitator, Darius Garland with a big toe injury,
a left a big toe injury, so he missed his
four straight games. So those guys are out. That doesn't
doesn't give you a mulligan. You're not getting a mulligan,
and you're not exempt from criticism. If anything, this shows
(34:38):
how fraudulent the team is that they don't have other
players able to step up here boo hoo hoo, and
that's just part of the deal. Next man up, you
do what you have to do, and all that stuff.
And so it seems like they're having a pity party.
So the Malard scale of panic for the Cavaliers one
to ten, with ten being oh mg, we are ft.
I'm at a nine. You've lost both games. If you're
(34:59):
the cav Years at home, and there's no sense that
Garland's gonna play at any point here soon, and who
knows about Mobley, So if you're depending on those guys
that come back, and even if they come back, how
good are they going to be? You figure the Pacers
win at least one of the next two games at home,
so then you're looking at a three to one series lead.
(35:20):
And at that point, I mean, you are really up
against it. As the Cleveland basketball team, you are really
in a tough situation.

This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 7 (35:43):
Ben a fan assuming the NFL legend he suffered the
emotional distress and trauma Shador Sanders slid to the fifth round.
The plaintiff, who identifies as John Doe, is seeking one
hundred million dollars in damages.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Does John Doe have a case? The word here is frivolous?
Is the word here? Frivolous? This thickness, This is the
stupidest thing, No chance and zero. It's a good story
to laugh at. You're not gonna get any money out
of this. I'm surprised this hasn't already been thrown out
a court.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
Next, free agent wide receiver Mariy Cooper and his former team.
The Cowboys have reportedly mutual interest in a reunion.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Is this a reunion? That would feel so good? Ben, Well,
they won all those Super Bowls before, of course it
would feel good.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
No.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Oh, listen, Mark Cooper at this point, he's thirty years old,
so he's right at the cusp of the end of
his abilities as a dominant NFL player. And he would
be the perfect Cowboy because he's just a journeyman wide receivers. Okay,
but he's not great. That's the Cowboys next.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
Eli Manning and Michael Strahan helped lead the Giants in
two Super Bowl titles. Now they're going head to head
in an attempt to purchase a ten percent minority stake
in the team. Yeah, Ben, who are you rooting for
in this Battle of the Giants?
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Okay, So if you promised me that whoever gets the
team is off television, then I'll go. I'll go. I
want Manning to get the team, but I think is
gonna end up getting a team and it doesn't matter.
Tom Brady is on TV all time.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
How do we do?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
That's a fail. I'm rooting for John Doe. Yeah, you
can root for John Doe. You can root whoever you are,

It's a day designed for the stoopid. Okay, very nice,
And you were here to answer all the questions, any
of them, many of them. People have questions. BP writes
in hashtag Queen of Hearts on x BP says best
place to go on a first date besides dinner? Besides dinner?
All right, very important. Where do you go on a
(38:36):
first day? Where do you want?
Speaker 8 (38:37):
Well, you know, it's good to be original and there
used to have that dating show right where you would
go on like five different first dates, and that would
give some really good ideas.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
You could go golf.
Speaker 8 (38:46):
Karting, you could go mini golfing, you could go skydiving,
you could I don't even you could just take her
shopping for the first time.
Speaker 5 (38:54):
Don't just go to dinner.
Speaker 8 (38:55):
Obviously, feed the girl because they want to be fed
all the time. They're going to be in a better
mood if you feed them first.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
So food is the key that did you go to
the heart? You go through the stomach?
Speaker 5 (39:09):
Is that exactly? Almost like almost like a man, but
a little bit different, a little bit okay? Yeah, all right,
but always include food and your shenanigans.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
So I want to go back to this is not
a question from a listener, but we had a story earlier.
Aaron Rodgers was spotted at the Kentucky Derby. Looked like
he had a wedding ring on wedding ring. But people
don't think he got married. Some people think it's some
kind of social experiment like the Seinfeld show back in
the day. So, Lorena, can you explain the positives and
the negatives of not being married but wearing a wedding ring.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
Right, So, a lot of people do it as a
deterrent so that people don't try to hit on them.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
That would be the women.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
Yes, women usually do that, not men. Men. Men usually
take off their wedding rings.
Speaker 8 (39:54):
I mean maybe I'm just you know, I've seen a
lot of movies and that's what happens.
Speaker 5 (39:58):
But I tend to see men.
Speaker 8 (39:59):
Taking them, if not putting on fake ones. So yeah,
that is a little odd that he would do that. Yeah,
and like you said, everyone knows he's.
Speaker 5 (40:08):
Not married as far as we know.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Maybe he got like a secret he got.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
A ring that only fits on that one specific finger.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Yeah. Maybe, hmmm, where do you think he got the ring?
You think about it like a pawn shop or something.
Speaker 8 (40:21):
Like that, or maybe maybe yeah, hhmm, interesting, Maybe it's
a promise ring.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Maybe he's marrying an alien from another part of the college.
You see that story this week, there's like three alien
bases on Earth according to the story, Oh stop, yeah, Alaska,
somewhere in South America. Yeah, they're living a month.
Speaker 5 (40:39):
One in the middle of the ocean, right there, supposedly one.
Speaker 1 (40:42):

Yes, if you cannot stand the way they smell all
the time, Lee, then yes, you can totally break up
with someone over that.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah, Or just have them eat different foods because you
depends what you say.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
People do not want to be told what to eat.
Speaker 8 (41:09):
Really, they don't want to change their lifestyles at all
if they're not gonna Yeah, no.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
All right, I believe Hollering James has a question for you. Hello,
hollering James, you have a question, Hollering James.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Yeah, Lorena, I had a question for you.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
I'm sorry I got your name wrong.
Speaker 8 (41:24):
The first time.
Speaker 5 (41:25):
That's okay, man, what's up?

You know?
Speaker 1 (41:27):
My question is is very important.
Speaker 5 (41:29):
They're better to love and launch than never loved at all.
Speaker 8 (41:35):
Well, I fall in love like seven times a week,
so I would definitely say to love and lose is
better than to never love it all.

never ending NBA postseason. So we'll start out with that.
We'll go to the Twin Cities. That is where Stephen
(02:05):
Kerry in Golden State, the Traveling Circus arriving at the
Target Center game number one. Oh well that was I
think that wasn't part of Let's try that again game
number one. Okay, there we go now, so you gotta
work out the kinks. There we go. So Game one
Western Conference Semifinals at the Target Center downtown Minnesota. Be there,
(02:27):
b Square and Edwards on the other side, and you
had the Timberwolves who were strutting, they were styling, they
were profiling after shoving it down Lebron James throat and
eliminating that annoying Laker team. So here you go. Now
you're set up and this is the matchup. You take
out a bunch of big names in the NBA. For
(02:47):
you're Anthony Edwards, So I don't know if you saw
the game or not. Maybe you were not watching, possibly not.
Don't worry, we were watching, so you wouldn't have to.
Buddy Healed did not get off to a great start,
but it's not how you start. I was told, it's
how finish, and he ended up with twenty four points.
I think he missed his first seven shots, but after
that he rarely missed twenty four points. Jimmy Butler added
(03:10):
twenty and eleven, and Golden State ended up butchering the
timber Wolves. Is they win this one? And never any
question they were gonna win the game a little bit
the leader was down tonight. Did you really think that
at any moment the Warriors were going to lose the game? No,
(03:34):
even Draymon Draymond Green is knocking down three point shots.
He made four to three point shots. I think they
were all in the first half, eighteen points in the game.
So game two will be on Thursday, but we're focusing
in on game one, and the better story is in
the losing locker. We should be noted though, before we
get to that, that Steph Curry had a case of
(03:58):
snap crackle pop worthy the word oh my hammy, it
went whammy for Steph Curry limited to thirteen minutes and
Golden State still ends up winning the game. The better story, though,
as I said, is in the losing locker room. So
let us discuss the question for the esteem panel post
(04:18):
game game one here the question was this just an
off night by Anthony Edwards, who was not only a
basketball player, was terrible? Was this just an off night
by Anthony Edwards? Or there a deeper level of concern
for Minnesota. So I've got Blink, two naked gun, and billiards,
(04:39):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we're gonna make a delicious, juicy lucy which doesn't taste
quite as good because the Wolves sucked at a time
you cannot suck. So a if you examine deep inside
(05:00):
the weeds, the question about Anthony Edwards is this just
an off game? Or is this a sign of a
deeper level of concern? The scale is leaning towards sky
is falling? What are you doing here? All right? Because
this is your this is your alpha a right or
alpha dog? This is your guy. And another another hiccup. Listen,
(05:22):
He's a fun player to watch Anthony Edwards. There were
some games, even the series they beat the Lakers, where
Anthony Edwards was not the reason that Minnesota was winning
those games. It was a plotting performance by Anthony Edwards.
And he's kind of like going to it to Applebe's.
You know, sometimes you go to Applebee's and the food's
really good, and it's fine and solid meal, solid meal,
(05:45):
and that's like Anthey often pretty solid, and then occasionally
the quality control the food's not prepared properly and you
might end up with the stomach ache. And much like
watching Anthony Edwards play basketball, it's interesting to say he
did not have the big d energy. Remember he announced
to the world that he's got the biggest Johnson in
the world. He let the Laker historians know that. Well,
(06:08):
on this night, it was the Blink one point eight
two song, all the small things he was I think
it was a micro situation for Anthony Edwards in this game,
living up to the ant man Moniker and the incredible
shrinking man. Anthony versh for eight from the floor in
the first he started the game, oh for ten. He
(06:29):
finally scored at the eight minute mark of the third quarter.
That's my franchise player right there, Anthony Edwards, and down
twenty three points. That was the high water mark. Down
twenty three points. At that point, Anthony Edwards said, you
know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna play like Dak
Prescott in garbage time in an NFL game and fatten
(06:50):
up my stats. And so that's what he did. So
you look at the stats, so oh, it wasn't that bad, okay,
But in the flow of the game, Anthony Edwards was atrocious,
absolutely astrocious. Now it's not just Anthony Evers. He's the headliner.
So it's like you go to see a Broadway show
and above the fold, above the marquee. There headline performer
(07:14):
does not perform well. Well, other people didn't perform well
as well, but that's the headliner. But if you look
at the circle of disgrace for the Minnesota basketball team,
several running mates the Timberwolves watching them play in the
second quarter, in the third quarter of this game, like
(07:35):
salt on a snail, they just melted. The second quarter
was bad, bad. It was so bad. I flipped over.
I was touching in baseball and I didn't really enjoy
the baseball game. So it was like, at least they're trying.
I don't think the Timberwolves were trying. And then you
had Rudy Gobert who turned back into a pumpkin. Is
(07:57):
like he was in a choke hold and man alive.
I guess when you don't see those Laker uniforms, you
you don't look like Shaquille O'Neal anymore. You had quiet
performance Rudy Gobert. Julius Randall had eighteen points. It was
four of eleven and the kil Alexander Walker played about
(08:17):
fifteen minutes. He had a cardio game in a playoff game.
Cardio game. No points, no rebounds, no assists. That's a
cardio game. So way to go man. All right now,
page two, let's get down in to the injury tent tier.
My god, So how are things looking for Golden State
at this point with the injury to you know who?
(08:42):
So how are things looking for Steph Curry after the
hamstring injury where he played thirteen minutes and then he
started grabbing his hamstring and they took him out. He
did not come back into the game. So you have
the public and the private. Much like politics, you have
the public and the private. So publicly Steph Curry is
listed as day to day and he's got left hamstring
(09:05):
strain and exod. He's in a bad mood, you know,
he's little bummed out and all that stuff. He's gonna
have an MRI on Wednesday and they'll assess what grade.
It's all about grades, much like when you were in
high school. It's all about grades. So they have to
determine the grade of the injury and how long will
he be out? Now we do not know, but I
(09:26):
am a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostrudinas.
And while I am not a doctor, I have practiced
on the radio. I have my sports radio medical degree.
So after eight minutes long investigation into the Steph Curry
injury and hamstring injuries in general, we have determined, based
on my overnight medical training, that the recovery time for
(09:49):
Steph Curry will be at a bare minimum ten days.
That's a week and a half, which will take him
out of what three four games? Maybe he can come
back if there's a game six in this series. That's
the top sinnari ten days, so he'll be out ten
days and then the other option, if it's a Grade
(10:12):
two strain, then.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Go bye.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
He'll be out for a month and a half a month.
It's May that'll take you to mid June. It's May
that takes you to mid June, so see you later.
And it's also the type of injury that lingers. And
that's also a bit of an issue. Now. If you
take a wide angle view up from thirty thousand feet
(10:44):
in the plan, you look down at Steph Curry and
you say, what's going on here? It's like, well, Steph
Curry's going Hollywood here. I know he likes to dabble
in documentaries and things like that, but this is a
remake of The Naked Gun and he's playing the Oj
Simpson character Norberg right at Nordberg. He's a walking disaster
doing slapstick comedy in these playoffs right now. Because not
(11:06):
only does he have the hammy that went whammy, he's
also got the thumb, which is the over the top,
all mangled thumb, his spraying thumb, which looks like it's
the size of some kind of foam thing you'd buy
at an amusement park. So you've got that and without Curry.
The Warriors now will depend more on Jimmy Butler and
(11:28):
Buddy Healed, Buddy Ball and also Draymond Green. Right now,
last word, so how would you describe how would you
describe the Wolves performance to start to start this series
here with the Golden Say Warriors. So my word is frazzled. Now.
I did like the fact that Chris Finch, the coach
(11:50):
of the Timberwolves, did not bite his tongue. In fact,
he unloaded, which means he's probably gonna lose his job soon.
The coach of the Timberwolves. Listen to him unload on
Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Postgame starts with Anthony, you know he I thought he's
was uh, you know, he struggled early and then you
could just kind of see the light go out a
little bit for a while, and then you know, obviously
we had to try to get him going in the
second half. But I think, you know, it was one
of those games where he kind of came out with
the predetermined mindset that he was trying to do and
(12:23):
just rather than just playing the game that was in
front of him. What is there to talk about. I mean,
you're they're they're the leader of the team, and you
got to come out and set the tone. Yeah, come on, man,
you and if it's if your shots not going like you,
you still have to carry the energy, you know. So
I don't think there's if I got to talk to
guys about having the right energy coming into opening around game,
(12:47):
opening the second round game, and you know we're not
you know we're not on the same page.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
So yeah, there you go. Take that, Anthony Edwards. So
so essentially what he said is Edwards had in his
head he the way he wanted to play, and he
couldn't play that way and he just fell apart. He
just had he just had nothing nothing. You know. It's
like it's kind of when I come in here and
I do a monologue and in the monologue sucks, right,
(13:14):
first monologue blows, and then I gotta do the show
the rest of the show. I can't just have a
pity party. There's no pity party.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
They screw up the first monologue and then you gotta
do the whole rest of the damn show. And you're
in a bad mood, but you gotta, you gotta go forward,
you because the great thing about this this job is
you never know when people listen, right, there's always new
people tuning in. Unfortunately, there's also people tuning out, which
is a problem anyway. So I use the word frazzle
(13:44):
to describe the Minnesota basketball team. Minnesota had six days
of rest. Every team that had rest lost. Everyone's freaking
out by that. Oh my god, they should not have
any rest. No one should have shot up. It's a
small sample size, small sample size. Uh, And they ended
up poll axing the Lakers. And then when you get
extra rest because you poll axe, that's a good thing.
(14:06):
They're the younger team, all of that, and it didn't matter.
It didn't matter. And the most embarrassing thing, though, is
you lost a game at home and Steph Curry essentially
didn't play thirteen minutes is nothing, and you still lost
the game. How embarrassing is that. I know there's no
(14:27):
such thing as home court advantage anymore. We'll get to
that later, but my god, you had a fully healthy roster.
You had Anthony Edwards out there who was urinating down
his leg and you can't capitalize it. And it's kind
of like billiards, right, You've now put yourself in a
position where the other teams you lost to a team
without their best player, and you've put yourself behind the
(14:49):
eight ball in the series like that was one. That's
a gimme. If I told you two days ago Steph
Curry is going to play thirteen minutes in that game. Okay,
how fast can I get to my app on my phone?
Put a bed in? How fast? My god? The timberwol
shooting was abysmal. Three point they looked like the Celtics.
(15:11):
They didn't shoot as many, but they looked like this.
Oh fifteen from three point range for Minnesota in the
first half. And the other thing that stood out not
only could they not shoot, they also could not hustle. Apparently,
I guess hustle was optional because they failed to contest shots.
All those old hustle stats I had, charges drawn, deflections,
(15:35):
hustling for rebounds, loose balls recovered on the screening, all
of that stuff was in the negative. It seemed like
watching the game and the fighting for rebounds, the Minnesota
basketball team allowed eighteen offensive rebounds that gave the Warriors,
if my math is correct, here a ton of second
(15:56):
chance points despite being shorthanded. Right in, Minnesota supposed to
have better interior players and it didn't matter. It is

Mitchell Cavs. They blew a twenty plus point lead in
that game to the Indiana Pacers, and had a big
lead even in the final seconds and gave it all back.
(18:06):
And how are things looking for the Tyres Halliburton reputation?
What these first two games do for the Pacers Tyres
Halliburton who has been lampooned by many but has been
the hero for Indiana these first couple of games. And
how much trouble our Donovan Mitchell's calves in They've lost
(18:27):
both games at home. They were the number one seed
in the Eastern Conference. We'll talk about all that and
more right now, settle in for us spicy our number two.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
You gotta keep the pace and if you don't keep
the pay, you're gonna lose. You're going to be a loser,
is what's gonna happen. Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are in the
a everywhere as we stop by and have a place
(19:06):
at the table. I don't think it's the grown up table,
but we're hanging out. We're talking sporty stuff all night long,
coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
mast and rightfully powerful microphones of fsre.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Am monating live from the dunk the windmill Slam Dunk from.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The Fox Sports Radio studios, which are approved by our
guy in Fort Wayne, America's favorite crossing guard there in
Fort Wayne, who I assume likes the pacers, but maybe not.
And this portion of the Ben Malor Show is made
possible by tire Rack. For over forty years, tire Rack
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
(19:52):
what and where they drive ship fast and freeback by
free road hazard protection. Fer dog likes that a lot
with convenient installation options. That's for alf the alien opinter
like mobile tire installation tire raq dot com the Way
Tire Buying show be so our lead this hour is
(20:12):
from pro Bouncy Ball, and we ranted and raved last
hour about the win for the Golden State Warriors on
the road. So they are up one to zero in
that series, but it was game two. We go now
to Cleveland and the number one seed in the entire
Eastern Comms. They were monster mashing during the regular season,
(20:36):
but now it's the second round of the playoffs. The
Cleveland basketball team and the location for game number two
their Eastern Conference semi finals. That the setup after the
Tyrese Haliburton Pacers stole game number one in the series
and Spider Mitchell's calves we're trying to bounce back here
and win game two. You know the setup, right, So
(20:57):
that's the setup. And you didn't see the game here,
maybe not. It was the early game on the card.
I don't know if you're watching or not, but Tyrese
Halliburton made a three pointer with one point one seconds
to go in said game one point one seconds remaining,
and that elevated to a higher level. The Indiana Pro
(21:19):
Bouncy Ball team as the Pacers scored the final eight
points in forty seven point nine seconds forty seven point
nine seconds to stun absolutely take the guts out of
the Cleveland basketball team one twenty to one nineteen. Good afternoon,
(21:41):
good evening, and good night. Now as the Pacers, the
Little Pacers are up to nothing in the Eastern Conference
semi final. Now Halliburton scored eleven of his nineteen points
in the final quarter of basketball. That'd be the last
twelve minutes. There's four to twelve minute quarters. Matt Andrew
(22:01):
Nebhardt stole a inbound pass from Max Struce, who had
a hammer dunk earlier that seemingly put the game out
of reach, but he did not. When Max Shruce dunks,
you figure it's your night. It wasn't your night. So
Nemhart stole the inbound pass. With twenty seven and a
half seconds the remaining in the game in Indiana, tried
(22:23):
to find the tying three point shot, but Halliburton ended
up driving, he got fouled, he went to the line,
he made the first foul shot and he breaked it
he missed the second one, but Halliburton. As the Kavs
were caught twiddling their thumbs, Halliburton snuck in there. He
got the offensive rebound, and he dribbled out to the
(22:46):
three point line and delivered from downtown. Halliburton just like me. I'men,
I'm moneyball, mallor when I'm out there and I'm on
the court and I'm putting down the moneyball, that's what
I look like. You don't really see that kind of
activity in the NBA, but that's exactly what happened there.
And my goodness. So the Pacers end up winning the
(23:09):
game a futile final attempt by the Cleveland Pro bouncy
Ball team. There at the end, Miles Turner and aaron
Nei Smith led the way for the number four seed
Indiana Pacers. Theych had fun. Yeah, there you go. Theyj
had twenty three points. It's the first time the Pacers
have won the first two games of a playoff series
(23:30):
on the road since nineteen ninety four. I wasn't even
alive in nineteen ninety Oh my god, nineteen ninety four,
Holy crap. That was against the Orlando Magic, who I
believe at that time had Shaquille O'Neill. I believe at
that time shaq was was doing his thing. So now
Donovan Mitchell had forty eight points for the Cleveland basketball team.
(23:53):
We saw a lot of that pose at the end
of the game, the cobe reposed by the fame. There
better story, though, is in that locker room, the losing
locker room. So let us address and as we will
discuss the outcome of this game. So all right, who
gets to wear the Dunce cap for the Spider Mitchell Cavaliers?
(24:17):
Who gets to wear the Dunce cap on this one?
I've got chartered flight, Mark Twain and classic commercials, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a delicious corn beef sandwich, just
a marvelous sandwich, the corn beef sandwich. All right, So
(24:39):
number I said a number to answer the question who
gets to wear the Dunce cap for the Spider Mitchell calves.
We'll get to that. I wanted to mention though, this
is a textbook example, a textbook example of the motto
of the show. And I've been doing this for a
(24:59):
couple of minut and it's, you know, kind of new
around here. But I've always pointed out the better stories
of the losing locker room. Most games are also lost.
They are not won. That people think of tremendous performance
as winning games. But in order to have that you
have to have the other side have a bunch of
brain farts. And we got that. We got that right.
(25:21):
I mean again, this is an example here. You think
of the history of flight in the Right Brothers and
how important that was. They're credited with the the the
beginning of human flight, and in this game it was
the Wrong Brothers for the cavaliers there, my god, a
(25:42):
Cleveland got a chartered flight. They took the whole team
out and destination Choke City. That was where the flight
was headed, and they made it. They landed right there
in Choke City late in the game, and they suffered
a panic attack and everyone could see it. And so
we ended up getting a value pack of year to
pass out dune caps. Max Struce gets the first dune cap.
(26:04):
He's the number one Dingleberry gdulation. Not only was he
unable to complete a basic basketball play, a fundamental play
passing the ball in bounds, he also shot two of
seven down the stretch. No I have an unpopular opinion.
(26:26):
I believe Donovan Mitchell deserves a level of bit. Well,
you had forty eight puts. You don't know ball, You
don't know ball. Bet he had forty eight points. Okay,
But isn't the whole point of this to close the job?
And you're the star and everyone else is hurt, and
this is your team and you're the big megastar and
you're getting all the big money and all that, and
(26:47):
your team is at home. You lost the first game.
Don't you have to make some more plays down the
stretch to prevent that to happen. Oh he didn't. He
did not. And despite the forty eight Cleveland, they were
up twenty. They had a seventeen point lead with six
seconds to go in the third quarter of this game,
seventeen point lead with twelve minutes and six seconds to
(27:08):
go in the game. They shot the rest of the
game somehow, twenty six point three percent from the floor.
They took nineteen shots, they missed fourteen of them to
close the game out. And Donovan Mitchell didn't do enough
at the time he was supposed to do enough. He
did not do enough. And so there you are, and
(27:31):
you're you're the front man, it's your band. You're you're
the lead singer. And you lost your voice at the end. There,
you had laryngitis at the end. And let's not forget
Kenny Atkinson, the head coach. Listen to Kenny Atkinson, this
is the coach of the year in the NBA. How
awkward your name coach of the year and your team
goes out there and rides the vomit commet Listen to
(27:52):
Kenny Atkinson make some excuses for his team.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
I would just say, collectively, we ran out of gas.
They kept turning an impressive up. Like I said, holding,
grabbing and foulingite honestly, but that's the play you know,
that's the playoffs. I'm not complaining about it that the
you know, rest did a good job. I just think
you have to be played through fouling and holding and grabbing,
(28:16):
and we just we didn't have the We didn't have
the force left.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
All right. So I've got my my malor Rosetta stone.
It sounds to me like the Cavs coach is pointing
out his team is not designed for playoff basketball. He's
saying right there, his team is a fraud. Send that
out lead A Lapp put that out on next Kenny
Atkinson's announced that the Cleveland Cavaliers are a fraudulent basketball team,
that they're a regular season team, they're not designed for
(28:43):
the playoffs, and that they can't handle physicality because the
soft they're driving a mister Softy truck to the arena
every day, they can't handle. That's what it sounds like
to me, am I being overly dramatic. I don't think
I am. I know strip club John and Cleveland's agreeing
with me. I know that. I think Ohio Al shaking
his said yes, I believe they are now page two.
So what are these first two games? Both wins for
(29:07):
the Indiana basketball team? What do they do for the Pacers?
And mainly what do they do for Tyreese Halliburton the
star and his reputation. So it's only two game series,
isn't over? Certainly we do the show right now, so
we're not gonna worry about what happens coming up. We're
gonna worry about what's happening right now. So at this moment,
this is the same guy, like a couple of weeks ago,
(29:28):
was voted the most overright overright A player in the
entire sport. Not by some media hacks or fanboys. This
was by his contemporaries, his co workers, the people he
plays against, said that he's the most overrated player in
the sport. This is also the same player whose father
(29:49):
got into the face of the Greek freak on the
court after the Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Pacers, and
it was that whole awkward thing. So Haliburt has been
taken on some shrapnel over the last couple of weeks,
and in the span of the last two playoff games,
Tyrese Haliburton has gone full Mark Twain and he's pulled
(30:11):
out his Remington number two typewriter and he is rewriting
his story. Here. It's a rewrite for Tyreese Aliburton not
only the clutch game winning jumper in game number two,
but also he played hero ball back in game number one,
as we talked about the other day, and so back
to back big time road playoff performances. Now, the counter
(30:33):
argument is, well, the Cavs aren't and he's the luckiest guy,
and he's got the curse. They put the voodoo on
the other team, and the other team doesn't have their
best players and the Milwaukee team didn't have Dame Lillard,
and this team Cleveland's without three or four of the
top guys and blah blah blah blah. Okay, but history
(30:54):
will not remember that. History will remember Haliburton hitting game
winning shots and that that's what history is going to
remember here and making big Bass gets twenty two points
in Sunday's win and then follows it up and he
had to go ahead three pointer midway through the fourth
quarter in that particular game. And then moments after Haliburton
(31:17):
hits the big jumper in the game on Tuesday night,
he earned himself a tax deductible charitable donation. Did you
notice what he did after he hit the shot? If
you saw the highlight or not. He honored the legacy
of Sam Cassell, half man, half alien, Sam Cassell as
Tyrene Saliburton did the Big Ball Dance. He did the
(31:39):
Big Ball Dance. Celebration there Kobe Bryants done the big
back in his day. He did the Big Ball dance.
Lebron James I think just grabbed his drunk. He was
a version of the Big Ball dance. And do you
know what that originated? That originated in a movie in
a baseball movie. The character that is iconic in Major
(32:02):
League Dennis Haysbert character Serrano did the big Ball dance
and that was copied by Sam Kassel. And every time
a player's done it, they've gotten fined. The NBA does
not want their players to announce they have large testicles.
They do not want that, and you'll get fined. And
so Tyree Saliburton will be fine for that. All right? Now,
final point, how much trouble? Let's do a state of
(32:25):
the team address. How much trouble are the number one
seeded Cleveland? I said, number one seedy? There, number one
seeded Cavaliers. We got, how much trouble are the in?
All right? So there's a phrase. I think we've all
heard this along the road to life. If not, i'll
(32:45):
tell you again. If you find yourself in the bottom
of a hole, you should probably stop digging. So put
the shovel down. That's the first thing they need to do.
They've dug themselves a massive hole. And the thing is
that Indiana didn't really play well in Game two for
most of the game and they still won anyway, like
they were really out of it. I was like that,
(33:07):
I put a note down on my little notes thing
on my phone. I was watching the games. It doesn't
look like the same team. What happened? And I was
gonna was gonna come out and kill them. I was like, well,
they looked like they were satisfied to win Game one,
the Pacers, and they just they just didn't have it.
And then all of a sudden they found it. But
I don't even think they really found it. I think
it was more that Cleveland just gave the game away
(33:28):
with stupidity at the end. And so it ends up
being a combo of a couple of classic commercials for
the Cavaliers, the State of the Cavaliers Address for Donovan
Mitchell and friends. You've got two classic commercials. You've got
the clap on, clap off the clapper right, clap on,
clap off the clapper right, just like that, and then
you've got the classic commercial from life call I fall
(33:52):
It and I can't get up. I fall it, I
can't get it, just like that. Now, the classes half
full crowd will say, well, it's just injuries and all,
but that's part of the sport, right, I mean, that
is part of the sport. And so Cleveland was without
the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year. Evan Mobley bad ankle,
he was out of the lineup. DeAndre hunter Key reserve
(34:17):
right thumb injury. He's out of the lineup. Darius Garland,
the playmaker, the facilitator, Darius Garland with a big toe injury,
a left a big toe injury, so he missed his
four straight games. So those guys are out. That doesn't
doesn't give you a mulligan. You're not getting a mulligan,
and you're not exempt from criticism. If anything, this shows
(34:38):
how fraudulent the team is that they don't have other
players able to step up here boo hoo hoo, and
that's just part of the deal. Next man up, you
do what you have to do, and all that stuff.
And so it seems like they're having a pity party.
So the Malard scale of panic for the Cavaliers one
to ten, with ten being oh mg, we are ft.
I'm at a nine. You've lost both games. If you're
(34:59):
the cav Years at home, and there's no sense that
Garland's gonna play at any point here soon, and who
knows about Mobley, So if you're depending on those guys
that come back, and even if they come back, how
good are they going to be? You figure the Pacers
win at least one of the next two games at home,
so then you're looking at a three to one series lead.
(35:20):
And at that point, I mean, you are really up
against it. As the Cleveland basketball team, you are really
in a tough situation.
Speaker 2 (35:28):

This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 7 (35:43):
Ben a fan assuming the NFL legend he suffered the
emotional distress and trauma Shador Sanders slid to the fifth round.
The plaintiff, who identifies as John Doe, is seeking one
hundred million dollars in damages.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Does John Doe have a case? The word here is frivolous?
Is the word here? Frivolous? This thickness, This is the
stupidest thing, No chance and zero. It's a good story
to laugh at. You're not gonna get any money out
of this. I'm surprised this hasn't already been thrown out
a court.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
Next, free agent wide receiver Mariy Cooper and his former team.
The Cowboys have reportedly mutual interest in a reunion.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Is this a reunion? That would feel so good? Ben, Well,
they won all those Super Bowls before, of course it
would feel good.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
No.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Oh, listen, Mark Cooper at this point, he's thirty years old,
so he's right at the cusp of the end of
his abilities as a dominant NFL player. And he would
be the perfect Cowboy because he's just a journeyman wide receivers. Okay,
but he's not great. That's the Cowboys next.
Speaker 7 (36:39):
Eli Manning and Michael Strahan helped lead the Giants in
two Super Bowl titles. Now they're going head to head
in an attempt to purchase a ten percent minority stake
in the team. Yeah, Ben, who are you rooting for
in this Battle of the Giants?
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Okay, So if you promised me that whoever gets the
team is off television, then I'll go. I'll go. I
want Manning to get the team, but I think is
gonna end up getting a team and it doesn't matter.
Tom Brady is on TV all time.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
How do we do?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
That's a fail. I'm rooting for John Doe. Yeah, you

Speaker 5 (38:03):
Any day this week you might as well do it.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Day's day. Today's the day.
Speaker 5 (38:06):

Speaker 5 (38:13):
I didn't know that was stupid. It's such a stupid day.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
It's a day designed for the stoopid. Okay, very nice,
And you were here to answer all the questions, any
of them, many of them. People have questions. BP writes
in hashtag Queen of Hearts on x BP says best
place to go on a first date besides dinner? Besides dinner?
All right, very important. Where do you go on a
(38:36):
first day? Where do you want?
Speaker 8 (38:37):
Well, you know, it's good to be original and there
used to have that dating show right where you would
go on like five different first dates, and that would
give some really good ideas.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
You could go golf.
Speaker 8 (38:46):
Karting, you could go mini golfing, you could go skydiving,
you could I don't even you could just take her
shopping for the first time.
Speaker 5 (38:54):
Don't just go to dinner.
Speaker 8 (38:55):
Obviously, feed the girl because they want to be fed
all the time. They're going to be in a better
mood if you feed them first.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
So food is the key that did you go to
the heart? You go through the stomach?
Speaker 5 (39:09):
Is that exactly? Almost like almost like a man, but
a little bit different, a little bit okay? Yeah, all right,
but always include food and your shenanigans.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
So I want to go back to this is not
a question from a listener, but we had a story earlier.
Aaron Rodgers was spotted at the Kentucky Derby. Looked like
he had a wedding ring on wedding ring. But people
don't think he got married. Some people think it's some
kind of social experiment like the Seinfeld show back in
the day. So, Lorena, can you explain the positives and
the negatives of not being married but wearing a wedding ring.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
Right, So, a lot of people do it as a
deterrent so that people don't try to hit on them.
