talking a lot about the the big breaking news tonight
about Draymondgreen, who was suspended for Game three first jomping
on the chest of Tamata sabonis Uh during the end
(01:03):
of Game two against the Sacramento King. Sabonus is now
questionable for Game three with a sternam with with a
what is it with a with a with a sternam
contusion by the way.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Congratulations to you.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I mean, I mean that's the breaking news and all
of this that you bullied Adam Silver. You are able
to bully a multi billion dollar corporation into making a
decision they didn't want to make. They wanted no part
of this, and you said no, no, no, this will
not stand.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Hey, I'm talking to human fly you Irish bump.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
His spine in the dumpster.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I like Doctor Octavius, it was with cheese.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I wouldn't call myself a hero. I'm just someone who
saw an opportunity for me to try to make someone
do the right thing.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And I did.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And I told you that Adam Silver was spineless and
doesn't want to do anything. And I dare him to
suspend Draymond Green because he had to, because you can't
stomp on a guy's chest during a game and then
go stand on the on the seat and yell at
the crowd like like your Hulk Hogan or the Iron
Cheek yelling you know, don't matter, you can't do it.
(02:16):
But he wasn't gonna do it because I'm so afraid
I don't want to do anything.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
If it was villain Hulk Hogan, he would have been
spray painting the fans was Hollywood Hogan. Oh that's right,
ye be part of the nWo with the spray paint
on his beard, but with Adam Silver. Notice how he
had to take a member of the bad Boy Pistons
to deliver the news. This is coming from Joe Dumars.
In my day, we didn't do anything about this. We
(02:42):
laughed it off and said, hey, good effort. We'll get
you tomorrow. But now I've gotta suspend you because some
Yahoo on the radio was mad.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I'll take my role in that. I got the Draymond.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I can never go to the Greater Bay Area again
because now you can't do it.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
But but you helped get better ratings for his next
podcast radio podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Maybe maybe maybe wait a minute, maybe he will wind
up doing a live podcast during the game, and maybe
that you'll go to a baseball game. Uh no, no, no,
I think you got You gotta take care of the
podcast now, and we we haven't talked about his podcast
for a while, so I think I think you have
to make sure that's number one.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Okay, you can't just go to a baseball game. Not Now,
I'll have something incendier. Maybe you'll have on.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Uh, it'll be like the Night of Too Many Stars
they used to do for charities with all the comedians
and stuff. So he just has one NBA guy after
the next kissing his ass about how he was wrong
in this process and music.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah that's right, that is true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.
It all comes together. That's right, that's right. Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
But if you want a hot take about Draymond Green,
I got a hot take. I got a Draymond Green
hot take for you. Is a Draymond Green hot take.
Draymond Green out for Game three. Okay, Kings are up
to zip. They played really well in the first two games.
I understand this. The Warriors are awful away from home, right,
(04:10):
they're eleven and thirty. They won a couple of games
at the end of the year, which was nice, But
this is at the end of the year when most
teams are sent yeah, we're done, we're we're just putting
x is on the calendar man to either the playoffs
start or we get to go on vacation.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
So we're just putting next on it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
But they won a couple more games the King start
this playoff series. The atmosphere was insane. Every single player
talked about it, and you definitely. Look at home, you
get a lift, your bench gets a lift, your support
players get a lift.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
This is not surprising.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Well, Draymond did a great job of tamping that down
with seven minutes remaining and the Warriors just down four.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Really good job to take the crowd out of the game.
M hm oh yeah, yeah, make sure.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I want to make sure that you are not except
it was the absolute opposite. Now, Draymond green or not,
it doesn't matter, because the Warriors are gonna take game three,
They're gonna take Game four, They're gonna tie the series up.
It's gonna go back to Sacramento two too. They as
bad as they are away, they are phenomenal at home.
(05:13):
They have one of the top five records in the
game at home, and they will get that boost. They
will get that boost from the home crowd. Their support
players will play better because your bench, your support, they
always play better at home. They're gonna get the benefit
of the calls. They're gonna use the Draymond suspension to
be some kind of galvanizing moment.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And look the Warriors.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Look, the Kings are only a couple of games better
than Golden State Golden State. This series is going seven, however,
and the home team's gonna win every game up until
Game seven, and then it's gonna be can the Warriors
win a tough game here?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Uh? And and and can the finally on the road?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And can the Kings close out when things are really
tough and they have a winner go home game even
though they're playing at home. So this is this is
going seven. It's going back to Sacramento with two to two.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I get that. It looks really crazy now.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And and and and fans are going nuts about the Kings,
and oh do we over do we undervalue the Kings?
And why did why did I pick the Warrior? Do
know why I picked the Warriors? In two games?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
You're gonna go? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Now, I get it now, I get why? Why why
the series is going? Golden State's going and they will
win big. They'll win these games big. Stefan Clay will
have big games. They'll combine for sixty five points. That's
how it's gonna go. The Warriors are good enough to
send this series to seven games, whether Draymond plays or not.
And that's how it's gonna go.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
A couple of things that roll through is you know,
you lose a guy who's a statistical leader in a
lot of categories and your chief agitator for better or
for worse, as as it were. But when we look
at where the team is Jordan Poole, you gotta expect
he's better at home, Moody, regular minutes getting more and more.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
And then Wiggins.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
He's only been back a couple of games, and we
watched him, remember as we were chronicling Game one, missing
some of the big shots down the stretch. In Game two,
hit the side of the back board on one attempt
and looked out of sorts at times. So still getting
his sea legs and minutes and rotations in there as well.
(07:08):
So maybe an extra couple of days and he's ready
to go full tilt as well. So the curiosity of
how this shifting back to San Francisco changed this thing.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I think we're far from done with this series. But
I did pick the Kings because, you know what, I
had to jump on board the fact that I like
any team that runs like the old Denver Nuggets doesn't
play any defense, It just gets after it. Now now
they do pretend to play some defense in the low post.
And what they do by that is guys like Sibonas
throw their bodies at you like I'm just gonna hit you.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Hey, some of them throw their sternam at you. I'm
sure that's what Draymond would say. He threw his sternam
right at me. What do you expect me to do?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Come on, man, Well, clutch and grab and falling and
all of those things. Curious tactics, no doubt. But we'll
see how it's efficient ad game three.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I well, look, maybe they send Scott Foster because clearly
he's lost his mojo.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Uh the the these sons actually win the game tonight,
but we'll get to that in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
How how Foster got his groove?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, he put the belt on the line. He brought
the belt into the ring and Chris Paul walked out
with it.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Well, Angela Bassett went from getting her groove back to
being the queen of Conda.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I mean, the things can happen here. Man, you're right,
you're right.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Uh yeah, Look I I don't expect this to end
any to end any faster but now but the biggest
thing to me is gonna be how has Draymond received
when he comes back, like does he come back and
and the Warriors are still he's our guy, he's you know,
he's he's our teammate and he's been the one of
the the beating heart of this team. Or is it
(08:51):
You know what, dude, you gotta you gotta really win
your You gotta get to get yourself back into our graces.
Like I want to see the body language. I want
to see how it is. I want to see if
he comes and is still that the yap yap, yappy
Draymond Green that he was, or if things change because
I you know, I've been telling you the last two nights,
this is it for him as a Warrior. There They're
going to move on. His act has gotten tired. He's
(09:12):
not the player he was. They know that whatever they do,
they need some kind of improvement in the offseason because
you're not getting better. You have Stephan Clay getting near
the end of their primes, and we want to try
to squeak out another championship if we can with them
at the base of this and maybe you know, Jordan Poole,
some of our younger guys will come through. But you're
gonna need something else. You're gonna need a new bit
(09:34):
of energy, and sometimes that's all it is. When teams
have been together for a long time. Hey, a new
energy is worth its weight. And what are you gonna do.
You're gonna trade Steph No you're not. Are you gonna
trade Clay?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
No you're not.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Draymond's the guy. And then you can use that money
that you would pay him for next year, which is
like I think twenty seven million, and you can spend
it someplace else and you can try to do something else.
Because I really wonder, and this is another big part,
what kind of players would go and play with Stephen
Clay if Draymond wasn't there. Think about that for a second, right,
(10:06):
becausee he kind of pushed KD out right, Katie was there?
Great when a couple of championship nope, can't get along,
Katie decides I'm leaving. I wonder what kind of players
would go if Draymond wasn't there anymore. That's gonna be
a big thing, because I was thinking about that today
when when I was thinking about Siri. You know, I'm
watching all the Syracuse stuff in the transfer portal and
since Beheim left the two Beeheim guys that he always
(10:31):
played all heavy minutes and gave a lot of responsibility to.
Joe Girard and Jesse Jesse Edwards both went in the
transfer portal and left right, and two guys who didn't
go to Syracuse when Beheim recruited, was recruiting two years
ago when the transfer portal opened, they both came to
Syracuse to play for Adrian au Tree.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
So now cause he's got two big players out of
the transfer portal in the last couple of days, j J.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Starling and Chance Westree.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
So these are guys that didn't choose Syracuse, but now
they're looking for an destination.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Baheim's not there and they get these players.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
So I was, I'm sitting here while I'm going boy,
you know, you really wonder about Baheim's impact and where
everybody is about him and you have this one image
of him.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
But here's especially.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
JJ Starling, who's a guy from from Baldwinsville, which is
a city in Syracuse, and he left to.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Go to Notre Damon. It's how do you not get him?
He's in the city.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
He's right, he probably grew up going to Syracuse games.
But when Beyheim was at for whatever reason, they didn't
get him. Now that Bayheim's gone, he hits a transfer
portal and the first day I'm going to.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Syracuse, I'm playing for Adrian Autrey.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So I wonder, I wonder what that I wonder if
that how that's going to apply itself in Golden State?
If Draymond's not there, are they going to be able
to recruit better players? Because you think that, boy, Golden State,
they have this great team and anybody wants to go
play there. Not really the case, Not really the case.
The last couple of years since Kevin Durant left, it's
been a little difficult trying to convince guys to come play,
(11:54):
especially when you have players like Clay and Steph who
are really unselfish, don't don't mind sharing the spotlight, don't
mind somebody else getting credit. As long as Clay is
on the top fifty of all time, he doesn't care
what you say about anything else. But Steph is one
of those rare guys that he's a big superstar that
doesn't care if he's sharing the spotlight with somebody. It's
why it works so well with KD for those couple
(12:15):
of years. But since Katie left, you haven't seen that.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I wonder without Draymond, if suddenly, oh y'all go there
for a couple of years, I'd love to do that.
I'd love to go play with Steph. Whether it's you know,
they get a big or they get a small forward
or a big power forward or something they get somebody
to show up that's like, hey, now we really have
a chance to keep the dynasty going because we brought
some younger players in that can do some different things
and really open things up on the outside for Stephan Clay.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Again, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Think as you look at at Stephan Clay, I mean,
one of the things you've had to contend with was
obviously everybody's salary escalating, and then last year you pay
Jordan Poole, You make a bunch of bets with young
talent doesn't necessarily pay off. You bring in Andrew Wiggins,
he wasn't cheap, you know, and picking up his his dollars,
so you know, the money's well been spent because we've
(13:04):
chronicled you know, where they were in the luxury tax
and everything else. But to your point of moving forward,
is there someone that either didn't want to based on
the reactions and the suspension everybody loves Draymond. It's everybody
loves Raymonds. Everybody loves Draymond. But now the curious as
(13:26):
to what the next iteration is because clearly you've had
some of these younger guys that you've kind of missed
with a few others that based on the minutes they're
starting to get maybe there's more trust that they can
develop into a secondary role. I don't know that Jordan
Poole's ever going to pretend to play defense. At least
Steph pretends he may not be great at it, but
(13:47):
he's good enough to get in the way at times.
So you got that going for you. But if you
move on from Draymond and someone takes on that twenty
seven million, what comes back, right, it's a player option
for next year. So a little bit of complications when
it comes to you know how that plays out and
the theater of it all. But you know, with your
(14:08):
your Syracuse example, I think it's apt to bring that
in where you're talking about a different energy, a different culture,
build and reconstruction of something that was so long in place,
and maybe you just didn't like the tone, the tenor
and the expectation of what life would be like under
Jim Beaheim, And now it's something else, right, changing the
(14:32):
manager mid stream to find a different vibe to push
you forward. You know Steve Fisher all those years ago,
things like that, that may it said that we've got
to use him as the example since it's so long ago,
but you know what, we do it so you have
that kind of scenario. The Warriors and those that want
to declare whatever dynasty dynastic like proposition dead. I think
(14:58):
it's a little too soon for that because we still
have questions about a lot of the other also rans
and would be contenders in the Western Conference.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
But the Lakers are back. Lakers are back.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
The Lakers are back.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
They're back, and they will play. When When is game two?
May thirteenth? Is that when it is? That's game two?
Speaker 4 (15:15):
You know what my daughter's graduation graduation is June ninth,
and I know there may be a potential conflict with
game two.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yeah, the Lakers the finals.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
O listen there, we have a big cookout on the
fourth of July. That's Game two of the first round
for the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Telling you, you know, my daughter's graduating on the ninth,
kind of.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
A big deal. So uh, you know, the Lakers getting
after for Game two. I might have to miss that, Mike.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
You know who. They won't be playing in the finals.
Nick show the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
How about a fresca Mike gets swollen, or we'll get listen,
we'll get to the Knicks. We'll get to Scott Foster
and Chris Paul. Trust me, everything is fun.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Forget about the Mets.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
It's coming up next right here, Jason and Mike. This
is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Jerks, all of you, all of you kershaw yo stop.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. And let me say this, Blank you Harmon,
Blank you, Frostburg, Blake you, Iowa Sam Blank you.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
The Knicks are fine.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Okay, everything is fine?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Because everything is fine.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Mike, he didn't watch the game tonight.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Just because he keeps You can't just keep telling yourself
that staring in the mirror, going everything's fine doesn't make
it necessarily bleeping.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
So you're still in the middle. Of the bleeping desert.
They lost tonight. They didn't play well, just lose well, well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Because they turn the ball over every eight seconds in
the second or yeah. Look, I'm not happy that Tom
Thibodeau had Julius Randall in the game in the final
two minutes to watch.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Him almost get hurt because he's some.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Reason he's not Hey, you had to teach him a lesson.
You played through adversity. Sometimes it's not your night, but
you play to the final whistle.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Oh you don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
You take your stars out of the game when you're
down by twenty with two minutes to go, to avoid
a hard foul on the layup that that involves your
best or second best player falling on his butt, maybe
getting hurt, hitting a free throw and going to the bleep.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
And locker room. You keep the guy out of the game.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
By the way, they're gonna punch Allan upside the head
next next game. Tell Allen to watch out for an
elbow in the low pot.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Look, And that's why you take that's why you take
your players out of the game, right, I mean that
that's what you do because in the final two minutes
of a game, It's not just well, hey, we're playing
the end of the game. Guys going up and down
the floor and then uh, you know, their guy could
get hurt. It's at the end of a big game
like this, it gets chippy. It's a playoff game. The
(18:04):
Knicks had won the first game, the Cavaliers win this game.
You had a couple of guys with big nights. It's
a twenty point game. You have the frustration for the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
You have the.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Cavaliers feeling giddy and happy, and I'm gonna run down here,
even though it's a twenty point lead. The Knicks are
gonna get a dunk, and I'm gonna go down and
I'm gonna go fire up Julius Randall.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That's why you take your.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Guy out of the game, right, seriously, that's why you
take your guys so you avoid something like that happening.
And luckily Randall got up and he made the free throw,
and then he went to the locker room. And now
I'm like, Okay, hopefully I don't wake up tomorrow and
find out, Oh, now he's doubtful for Game three because.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Guy a chest contusion. If that happens.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Tom Thibbdau could be fired before Game three begins, for
leaving your guy, for leaving Julius Randall in who.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Should replace Thibadeau on the bench? Eight Phil jacksonill replaced it.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
He'll just step down.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
But I'm with you like that was a play where
the have to say, hey, Jared Allen, what the hell
are you doing?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Man? Why are you firing them up anymore?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
At the end of the game. Let the guy dunk.
We're up by twenty, the game is over. What the
hell are you doing? What I mean, I get that
it's a back and forth and it's physical with a
guy all game, but you gotta be smart, man.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
It's why your professional athlete. That's why I never buy
the Oh you did you know?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
You're caught up in this and he did the moment?
This say sometimes he did the moment? Is heated the moment?
Sometimes it's no, dude, you gotta be smarter than that
to make it. Bit you have better play. You get
paid a lot of money, and you got to make
a smart play when you get paid a lot of money.
And that's one of those things where it's, dude, what
are you doing? Why are you waking them up? Why
are you giving them something like this at the end
of the game. We just blew them out. And right
now we have the mental advantage because the next game
we play, they know that not only did we beat them,
(19:44):
we worked them the entire game and they turned the
ball over and they played crappy basketball.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
So yeah, so I get that's absolutely going to be
something that motivates the Knicks. So you know, hey, good
on Jared Allen, thanks for doing that. But still, Tibbs,
what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Man? What do why leave the game? What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Because the series is over?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
All right? All right? Smart guy.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
That's why I hope the dude if the Lakers lose
Game two, when they play on Labor Day, when they
play Game two, if they lose, I am gonna be
all over I am gonna be all over you when
that happens.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I'm gonna be buying a mattress. I won't be out in.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
His fifth year in the NBA by the time they tim.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
But to tie a bunch of the stuff, let me
just tell you, go ahead, They're gonna play two games
and they'll be going back to Cleveland. Knicks will be
up three to one. That's what's gonna happen. That's what's
gonna happen because the Nick Look, look, you, you apply
the same philosophy that your team's bench and support players
play better at home.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
The Knicks have a better bench.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
The Knicks half guys coming off the bench that they
relying to do really really great things. Whether it's quickly
or top end, doesn't matter. And they're going back for
the next two games and MS gee, yeah, give me
two ws for the Knicks, and give me a three
to one series lead, going back to the cavil write
it down, going back to Cleveland, three to one.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Get it down and write it good. You like stealing
straight from the Dusty Roads playbook.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Listen, daddy, this is where we're going on. Hard times
on the road, but tied it all right, No hard times.
There's hard times, tykingna hard times.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
When you get your ass beaaten Cleveland. We're going back
to the garden. Jack, that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Walk No, I bet he better not. He couldn't make
a jumper and we needed him to. It's gonna be
three to one Knicks. It's gonna be three one Knicks.
It's fun, you.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Guys, and well that's happening.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
That's happening too. Hey, happy Aaron Rodgers Eve because it's
still Aaron Rodgers Eve. Because it could happen tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
What'd you get today?
Speaker 4 (21:50):
What kind of sand would Santa leave you today?
Speaker 6 (21:54):
That's gonna be your tombstone? Jason, it's all happening.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Hey, listen, let me it's all say. I kept leaving
a sandwich every day.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
So because it took ninety seven days for this to materialize,
Jason didn't survive it on.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
In the oh, shouldn't have eaten that.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Sandwich, all right, So let me tie these things together.
First off, you got Alan with the idiotic play.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Just don't don't.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
The series is over, buddy, no, no, no, But but I
want to tie it to the Sternum contusion and everything
else that's going on here in our larger world, all right,
where you have these unnecessary plays that exacerbate situation. In
this case, Draymond gets himself suspended. We'll see what Sabonus'
health is. I suspect he's gonna play and he'll be
(22:40):
just fine and ready to go. But you're creating situations
that don't need to exist.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
We all do this.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
In our own lives, at work, in our relationships, whatever else.
And here we watch it to play out in the
NBA in grand fashion where you're getting your ass kicked.
Just let the game finish, take your w and now
you gotta worry about retaliation. Officiating is gonna be heightened
based on little skirmishes towards the end. We watched it
(23:08):
at the end of the Sun's Clippers game tonight, as
they walk past each other, you had Chris Paul and
Kawhi Leonard do a little shoulder to shoulder bump. Nothing
comes of it, but there's those little instances right the
build up, the little as they call them in the
world these days, the microaggressions that eventually lead to a
big act. And you know there's institutional memory. And so
(23:30):
now we wait with baited breath for the next game
to see what kind of chaos ensues, both up in
San Francisco and then for you back at the garden
where people are complaining about how much it costs to
go see a game. If you had season tickets, you'd
have tickets to the playoff game, wouldn't have to go
through the secondary market. They don't care about you because
those tickets are sold.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Okay, you're right, buddy, Okay, you're okay.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Oh I was I was stalking like a cat. I
wanted to do a giant monologue like it was a
Ted talk for you there. Okay, I really thought I
just elevated there and you know, kind of like cruise
stalking around in magnolia, and eventually frogs starts falling.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
That was what ruined the movie.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
The movie that was one of the best movies I've
ever seen, right up until the part where the frog
started coming down.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I'm like, man, really, the frogs.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
You know what I think when the editing process, they said,
let's see how far they'll go with us.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Let's do it. Yeah, let's watch the.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Reviews of how this plays out, and if we add
this last bit, see if they still stay with us.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Boy, I'm telling you, we had something that could have
been best picture of what we did. We had the frogs.
Oh yeah, the frogs really did it well.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I mean, and then you sent that in as part
of your Oscar candidacy. Is it for your consideration and
you start with the frogs raining. I mean it's not good.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
No, no, no, we're not we're raining frogs never never works out. Well, hey,
let's have this in it. But the butt Yeah, I know,
but still, okay, we're gonna give it in the Bible.
It wasn't a good thing.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I mean, Charlton Heston and you can Old Chuck Heston
Company and Edward G.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Robinson. We're getting after it.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, yeah, no, that was It's a tough sell man.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
That was really difficult, really difficult, working hard on that one.
Let's find out.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
We got more NBA coming up in a minute, but
let's find out right now, what's trending in the wide
world of sports with Isaac Low and Crown.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
I love what you got for us.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
What a busy Tuesday starting off the court, because on
Tuesday night, the NBA suspended Golden State Warriors forward and
super villain Draymond Green for Game three of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Super villains like that, he's super villain.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Coming to a Hulu series near you apparently?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Sure? Oh he would, he would immediately walk into the
DC universe. Is the best villain? Oh yeah? Really that's
nothing can be take over for Jonathan Majors, who's come on,
come on, come.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
On, cost effective, No CG I needed for Rammy Cans
like you said walk right in suspended for Game three
for stepping stomping. You say Tomato, I say.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Tomaia, not just stepped in stone.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
On the chest of Sacramento's Dominis Sabonis in game two. Incidentally,
the Kings listed at domont to Sibonis as questionable for
Game three because of a sternament contusion provided by Draymond Green.
The NBA, in its announcement said that the suspension was
based in part on Green's history of unsportsmanlike acts on
(26:30):
the floor. On Tuesday evening, the Phoenix sended defeat of
the Los Angeles Clippers won twenty three to one oh
nine time that series at one with a piece. Clippers
led the game by thirteen in the second quarter, but
Phoenix outscored them after that eighty seven to sixty. Devin
Booker scored thirty eight. Kevin Durant had twenty five. The
number three trending Twitter topic in America right now Mets lose.
(26:54):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
You know it might not be my cla not be
my place to say, but have you noticed that our
beloved colleague justin kind of goes out of its, out
of his way just to stick it to you, Jason, Noh,
it's right.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
There, not out of my way at all.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
You know what they do make it convenient for you,
don't they anyway? It breaks Chris Paul's streak of losing
thirteen consecutive playoff games refereed by Scott Foster. Earlier on Tuesday,
Oh what do you know? Perfect timing? The Cleveland Cavaliers
defeated the New York Knicks one oh seven to ninety
time that series, and one Boston went up two games
(27:36):
to nine over Atlanta, beating the Hawks one nineteen to
one oh six. Baseball Tuesday Night Dodgers over the Mets
five nothing. Clayton Kershaw the two hundredth win of his career.
He struck out nine and seven innings with no walks.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
JD.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Martinez hit two home runs for the Dodgers in Stanley
Cup playoff Game ones on Tuesday Night, the Seattle cracking
one at Colorado three to one win A excuse me,
the Jets.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Just say the Jets get.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
You victorious in Vegas five to one with Jets forward
Morgan Baron returned to this game after getting more than
seventy five stitches when he took a skate to the
face as impressive a performance by the Jets since Big
(28:23):
Jim Turner kicked those three field goals in Super Bowl three.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
A Jason, here the Fats. We're living off a one win.
We're living off a one win. Hey, long road begins
with the first step.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Now that's right.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
Anyway, the New York Rangers want to New Jersey five
to one, and the Tampa Bay Lightning wonted Toronto seven
to three, as Tampa Bay became the first team in
NHL history to score a goal in the last five
seconds of a period twice in one playoff game. And
with that, Fellas, it's all yours.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
All right, Now, let's do something little fun here, because
you guys don't deserve it.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
But I know everybody's gonna listen, thinking. Boy, Jason's a
nice guy.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
He works with a bunch of jerks, and look at
the fun game he had ready for everybody. William, he
works with that Harmon who likes pretend he's his best friend.
But the minute everybody starts jumping up and down, he
piles on.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Tell a Mets game.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Frostburg is just bitter in general how.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
Much the Lakers Dodgers domination.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
He's jealous that Jason's teams are now better than all
of his teams, and Isaac Lowenkron just loves to look
for that needling one liner.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
But still, Pat Lay, Pat Lay just missed a field
goal against the Bears on Monday Night football.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
You really don't want to play this game, do you?
You really do? That's a cap that's the cap bozo game.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
All right, stay away from that game, Blair Thomas barring disaster,
A happy plane ride for Bruce Coslet and the Jets.
Are you ready to help celebrate Clayton Kershaw's two hundred win?
Are you ready to play the Clayton Kershaw game?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Let's go, you guys ready? Iowa?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Sam? Can we uh? Can we get some music for
the Clayton Kershaw game? Whatever Sam had, I'm pressing the button.
I don't know what it is. I'm just gonna impress.
It could have been anything, all right. Clayton Kershaw win
number two hundred tonight.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Yes, he's better than Oral Hersheizer.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Has Clayton Kershaw ever had a season where he's had
more losses than wins?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
What? Has he ever had a losing season? Has he
ever had a losing season? Yes? Yeah, all right, I.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
Love I'm gonna be the contrarian and say no, but.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
It's not a fair stat because he was hurt.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
You don't even know what the answer is already. You're
making an excuses fact. I'm making excuses for effect. Clayton
Kershaw has never had a losing season his first two
years in Major League Baseball five and five.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
And eight and eight. That's the last dast two seasons. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Has Clayton Kershaw ever gotten credit for a hold?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Does he have a hold.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
On his record?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Ever get credit for a hold that.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Not holds? Because they don't call him that they were holding.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
It was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Actually, yes, in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Okay, Yes, Clayton Kershaw has one hold in his MLB career.
His rookie year with the Dodgers in two thousand and eight,
he got a hold when he came out of the
bullpen for one game and he got a hold.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
That was the last time the Mats were good two
thousand and eight.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Stop we were in the World Series of twenty fifteen,
Jerk does Clayton?
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Game six just said, do you want to stop the
game right now?
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I'll turn this car right around. We'll go home right now,
does Clayton Kershaw have a save? Does he have a save?
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Yes, yeah, does he have a save?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Clayton Kershaw has never saved the regular season game regular.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Season and I ment at Washington in the playoffs, Yeah,
definitely question. We went on a technicality playoffs.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Hey, I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Do playoff wins count for his two hundred wins for
his career? Oh, I'm sorry, they don't.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I'm sorry. You don't know the rules of the game.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
It was like an Austin Seferian Jenkins touchdown getting called
back against the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Complete the Come on, everybody saw it. Everybody saw it.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
You know, you know what was wrong? Justin this is
actually fun.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You guys are like the bad kids that way that
when the microphones go off, you're gonna get in trouble, Like,
oh man, I don't like you don't want to yell
at your kids at a party if they do, say,
you're with other adults around.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Now, I don't want to be that adult. But when
we get home, yeah, look out. Yeah, you're gonna be
grounded for like three weeks. That's that used to be
when I was a kid.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
That's when the wooden spoons and everything else would be
broken across my back.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
Hey Jason, I don't know what you're up to after
the show, but TNT is replaying the next game.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Oh that's nice. That's nice.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Maybe you can catch it.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I don't know what you're up to after the show,
but we're gonna hire a new producer. How does that sound?
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
I really thought you were gonna go for the old
house your car move, man. I couldn't go to that.
I do the key your car thing all the time.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
Welcome to the next podcast.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Has Clayton Kershaw ever had a year with an e
RA over four? Sure? Why not ERA over four?
Speaker 5 (33:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:56):
This would be rookie year or second year.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
But I'll say no, I'm gonna go no because he
plays the Mets.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Clayton Kurtin. That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Well, that lowers his ERA.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Clayton Kershaw one year with an ERA over four four point.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Two six again his rookie year.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
One year out of sixteen.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Ed, He's didn't pitch against the Mets that year, and
he's only had an ERA over three twice.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Twenty twenty one and twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
All right, last one, last one, we know it's win
number two hundred for Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
How many losses does Clayton Kershaw have in his career?
Ninety seven? But I think that's high.
Speaker 7 (34:49):
I'm gonna say one oh one.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
You have all overbid Clayton Kershaw eighty eight losses for
his MLB career.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Do you know what happened in eighty eight, Jason, Yeah,
Oral Herscheiser was the World Series.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Sorry, that's the end of the game. Championship, the end
of the game. Yes, the end of the game. Game's over.
Game's over. We're never playing a game again. We're never
playing a game again. You're never playing a game again.

Give me the hell Yeah, Fox Sports Radio, The Chase
and Smith's Show with my best friend Mike Harmon, Get
him a bunny bag live from the tire rack dot
Com studios got to play the night. Come on your
way in a couple of minutes. But first, Hey, there's
achievements and there's overcoming. Scott Foster Chris Paul wins a
(37:48):
game officiated by Scott Foster. The Suns even the series
with the Clippers at one apiece, one twenty three to
one oh nine. It was a huge night for Devin Booker,
who had thirty eight points KD had twenty five. He
really carried them in the second quarter where the Clippers
(38:09):
had had gone out to a lead.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
They had taken the lead and KDI put him on
his back for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
The game was tied at halftime and Booker takes over
in the second half. You had all five Sun starters
and double figures. I'm feeling pretty good right now if
I'm the Suns, knowing that, Okay, we lost that first game,
we got it back here. KD was great. Didn't have
to do it the whole game. We we relied on
Devin Booker telling you, as long as KD is healthy,
I feel great about the Suns. But every game it's
(38:36):
you know, you're holding your breath after every game is
over going. Okay, he's okay for the next game, He's
okay for the next game. I still feel great about
the Suns in this series, even though they lost home court.
I expected to go back to Phoenix tied to too
and they take control of this series again.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
As long as KD is healthy, as.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
Long as Eaton can outplay Zubach actually virtualization there in
the low post, but we watched Devin Booker take over
this game Kevin Durant had his streaks where he really
showed out well, particularly as they started to surge late
(39:13):
in the first half when they made that big comeback,
a run that extended just a ridiculous run into the
third quarter where it was just Haymakers raining down or
you're waiting for Duke to yell through the damn towel
because it was just that odd nothing happening on the
offensive end for the Clippers. That kind of drought cannot
happen against the Sun Steam. That's really all there is
(39:36):
to it. I mean, obvious, it's Captain Obvious radio. But
the reality is, if you're gonna have that kind of
a scoring.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Drought, this seems too good. This seems too good for that.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
Even if the depth is whittled away a little bit
by the moves they made. Star power comes to play
and Chris Paul can just flow and doesn't have to
take over.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yeah, a lot of easy buckets for the son to
the second half. I don't know how tired the Clippers were,
but it looked like they were a step behind and
the Suns definitely had it working. So one to one
for the Suns and the Clippers. Now time for the
play of the night, brought to you by Progressive Progressive
making things even easier to help you bundle your home

and winning a playoff game, taking the belt from Scott Foster,
ripping it out of his hands after hitting him over.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
The head with a chair.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
But instead, well, when you get to two hundred wins
in Major League Baseball, you get to be the play
of the.
Speaker 9 (40:42):
Night, this night, to the night in a word, to
end this evening, Dodger's TV on the call, the final
out of the night for Clayton, his ninth strikeout, two
hundredth win in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Not the two hundreds of new three hundred, but two
hundreds of the new the new point we get to
where when you're talking about Hall of Fame candidate and
not like k Kershaw is a first ballot Hall of Famer,
but you talk about most players, you get to two
hundred wins, that's the biggest thing you need starting Pitcher
show me you get to two hundred, well that's it.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
We only have three that are viable candidates.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
You got Wayne Wright, and you got a couple others
far from the pack, and then it's a bunch of
young guys that are gonna need the longevity Bullpenn specialization.

talking a lot about the the big breaking news tonight
about Draymondgreen, who was suspended for Game three first jomping
on the chest of Tamata sabonis Uh during the end
(01:03):
of Game two against the Sacramento King. Sabonus is now
questionable for Game three with a sternam with with a
what is it with a with a with a sternam
contusion by the way.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Congratulations to you.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I mean, I mean that's the breaking news and all
of this that you bullied Adam Silver. You are able
to bully a multi billion dollar corporation into making a
decision they didn't want to make. They wanted no part
of this, and you said no, no, no, this will
not stand.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Hey, I'm talking to human fly you Irish bump.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
His spine in the dumpster.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I like Doctor Octavius, it was with cheese.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I wouldn't call myself a hero. I'm just someone who
saw an opportunity for me to try to make someone
do the right thing.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And I did.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
And I told you that Adam Silver was spineless and
doesn't want to do anything. And I dare him to
suspend Draymond Green because he had to, because you can't
stomp on a guy's chest during a game and then
go stand on the on the seat and yell at
the crowd like like your Hulk Hogan or the Iron
Cheek yelling you know, don't matter, you can't do it.
(02:16):
But he wasn't gonna do it because I'm so afraid
I don't want to do anything.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
If it was villain Hulk Hogan, he would have been
spray painting the fans was Hollywood Hogan. Oh that's right,
ye be part of the nWo with the spray paint
on his beard, but with Adam Silver. Notice how he
had to take a member of the bad Boy Pistons
to deliver the news. This is coming from Joe Dumars.
In my day, we didn't do anything about this. We
(02:42):
laughed it off and said, hey, good effort. We'll get
you tomorrow. But now I've gotta suspend you because some
Yahoo on the radio was mad.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I'll take my role in that. I got the Draymond.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I can never go to the Greater Bay Area again
because now you can't do it.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
But but you helped get better ratings for his next
podcast radio podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Maybe maybe maybe wait a minute, maybe he will wind
up doing a live podcast during the game, and maybe
that you'll go to a baseball game. Uh no, no, no,
I think you got You gotta take care of the
podcast now, and we we haven't talked about his podcast
for a while, so I think I think you have
to make sure that's number one.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Okay, you can't just go to a baseball game. Not Now,
I'll have something incendier. Maybe you'll have on.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Uh, it'll be like the Night of Too Many Stars
they used to do for charities with all the comedians
and stuff. So he just has one NBA guy after
the next kissing his ass about how he was wrong
in this process and music.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah that's right, that is true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.
It all comes together. That's right, that's right. Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
But if you want a hot take about Draymond Green,
I got a hot take. I got a Draymond Green
hot take for you. Is a Draymond Green hot take.
Draymond Green out for Game three. Okay, Kings are up
to zip. They played really well in the first two games.
I understand this. The Warriors are awful away from home, right,
(04:10):
they're eleven and thirty. They won a couple of games
at the end of the year, which was nice, But
this is at the end of the year when most
teams are sent yeah, we're done, we're we're just putting
x is on the calendar man to either the playoffs
start or we get to go on vacation.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
So we're just putting next on it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
But they won a couple more games the King start
this playoff series. The atmosphere was insane. Every single player
talked about it, and you definitely. Look at home, you
get a lift, your bench gets a lift, your support
players get a lift.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
This is not surprising.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Well, Draymond did a great job of tamping that down
with seven minutes remaining and the Warriors just down four.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Really good job to take the crowd out of the game.
M hm oh yeah, yeah, make sure.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I want to make sure that you are not except
it was the absolute opposite. Now, Draymond green or not,
it doesn't matter, because the Warriors are gonna take game three,
They're gonna take Game four, They're gonna tie the series up.
It's gonna go back to Sacramento two too. They as
bad as they are away, they are phenomenal at home.
(05:13):
They have one of the top five records in the
game at home, and they will get that boost. They
will get that boost from the home crowd. Their support
players will play better because your bench, your support, they
always play better at home. They're gonna get the benefit
of the calls. They're gonna use the Draymond suspension to
be some kind of galvanizing moment.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
And look the Warriors.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Look, the Kings are only a couple of games better
than Golden State Golden State. This series is going seven, however,
and the home team's gonna win every game up until
Game seven, and then it's gonna be can the Warriors
win a tough game here?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Uh? And and and can the finally on the road?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And can the Kings close out when things are really
tough and they have a winner go home game even
though they're playing at home. So this is this is
going seven. It's going back to Sacramento with two to two.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I get that. It looks really crazy now.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And and and and fans are going nuts about the Kings,
and oh do we over do we undervalue the Kings?
And why did why did I pick the Warrior? Do
know why I picked the Warriors? In two games?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
You're gonna go? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Now, I get it now, I get why? Why why
the series is going? Golden State's going and they will
win big. They'll win these games big. Stefan Clay will
have big games. They'll combine for sixty five points. That's
how it's gonna go. The Warriors are good enough to
send this series to seven games, whether Draymond plays or not.
And that's how it's gonna go.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
A couple of things that roll through is you know,
you lose a guy who's a statistical leader in a
lot of categories and your chief agitator for better or
for worse, as as it were. But when we look
at where the team is Jordan Poole, you gotta expect
he's better at home, Moody, regular minutes getting more and more.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
And then Wiggins.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
He's only been back a couple of games, and we
watched him, remember as we were chronicling Game one, missing
some of the big shots down the stretch. In Game two,
hit the side of the back board on one attempt
and looked out of sorts at times. So still getting
his sea legs and minutes and rotations in there as well.
(07:08):
So maybe an extra couple of days and he's ready
to go full tilt as well. So the curiosity of
how this shifting back to San Francisco changed this thing.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I think we're far from done with this series. But
I did pick the Kings because, you know what, I
had to jump on board the fact that I like
any team that runs like the old Denver Nuggets doesn't
play any defense, It just gets after it. Now now
they do pretend to play some defense in the low post.
And what they do by that is guys like Sibonas
throw their bodies at you like I'm just gonna hit you.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Hey, some of them throw their sternam at you. I'm
sure that's what Draymond would say. He threw his sternam
right at me. What do you expect me to do?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Come on, man, Well, clutch and grab and falling and
all of those things. Curious tactics, no doubt. But we'll
see how it's efficient ad game three.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I well, look, maybe they send Scott Foster because clearly
he's lost his mojo.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Uh the the these sons actually win the game tonight,
but we'll get to that in a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
How how Foster got his groove?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, he put the belt on the line. He brought
the belt into the ring and Chris Paul walked out
with it.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Well, Angela Bassett went from getting her groove back to
being the queen of Conda.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I mean, the things can happen here. Man, you're right,
you're right.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Uh yeah, Look I I don't expect this to end
any to end any faster but now but the biggest
thing to me is gonna be how has Draymond received
when he comes back, like does he come back and
and the Warriors are still he's our guy, he's you know,
he's he's our teammate and he's been the one of
the the beating heart of this team. Or is it
(08:51):
You know what, dude, you gotta you gotta really win
your You gotta get to get yourself back into our graces.
Like I want to see the body language. I want
to see how it is. I want to see if
he comes and is still that the yap yap, yappy
Draymond Green that he was, or if things change because
I you know, I've been telling you the last two nights,
this is it for him as a Warrior. There They're
going to move on. His act has gotten tired. He's
(09:12):
not the player he was. They know that whatever they do,
they need some kind of improvement in the offseason because
you're not getting better. You have Stephan Clay getting near
the end of their primes, and we want to try
to squeak out another championship if we can with them
at the base of this and maybe you know, Jordan Poole,
some of our younger guys will come through. But you're
gonna need something else. You're gonna need a new bit
(09:34):
of energy, and sometimes that's all it is. When teams
have been together for a long time. Hey, a new
energy is worth its weight. And what are you gonna do.
You're gonna trade Steph No you're not. Are you gonna
trade Clay?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
No you're not.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Draymond's the guy. And then you can use that money
that you would pay him for next year, which is
like I think twenty seven million, and you can spend
it someplace else and you can try to do something else.
Because I really wonder, and this is another big part,
what kind of players would go and play with Stephen
Clay if Draymond wasn't there. Think about that for a second, right,
(10:06):
becausee he kind of pushed KD out right, Katie was there?
Great when a couple of championship nope, can't get along,
Katie decides I'm leaving. I wonder what kind of players
would go if Draymond wasn't there anymore. That's gonna be
a big thing, because I was thinking about that today
when when I was thinking about Siri. You know, I'm
watching all the Syracuse stuff in the transfer portal and
since Beheim left the two Beeheim guys that he always
(10:31):
played all heavy minutes and gave a lot of responsibility to.
Joe Girard and Jesse Jesse Edwards both went in the
transfer portal and left right, and two guys who didn't
go to Syracuse when Beheim recruited, was recruiting two years
ago when the transfer portal opened, they both came to
Syracuse to play for Adrian au Tree.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
So now cause he's got two big players out of
the transfer portal in the last couple of days, j J.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Starling and Chance Westree.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
So these are guys that didn't choose Syracuse, but now
they're looking for an destination.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Baheim's not there and they get these players.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
So I was, I'm sitting here while I'm going boy,
you know, you really wonder about Baheim's impact and where
everybody is about him and you have this one image
of him.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
But here's especially.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
JJ Starling, who's a guy from from Baldwinsville, which is
a city in Syracuse, and he left to.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Go to Notre Damon. It's how do you not get him?
He's in the city.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
He's right, he probably grew up going to Syracuse games.
But when Beyheim was at for whatever reason, they didn't
get him. Now that Bayheim's gone, he hits a transfer
portal and the first day I'm going to.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Syracuse, I'm playing for Adrian Autrey.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So I wonder, I wonder what that I wonder if
that how that's going to apply itself in Golden State?
If Draymond's not there, are they going to be able
to recruit better players? Because you think that, boy, Golden State,
they have this great team and anybody wants to go
play there. Not really the case, Not really the case.
The last couple of years since Kevin Durant left, it's
been a little difficult trying to convince guys to come play,
(11:54):
especially when you have players like Clay and Steph who
are really unselfish, don't don't mind sharing the spotlight, don't
mind somebody else getting credit. As long as Clay is
on the top fifty of all time, he doesn't care
what you say about anything else. But Steph is one
of those rare guys that he's a big superstar that
doesn't care if he's sharing the spotlight with somebody. It's
why it works so well with KD for those couple
(12:15):
of years. But since Katie left, you haven't seen that.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
I wonder without Draymond, if suddenly, oh y'all go there
for a couple of years, I'd love to do that.
I'd love to go play with Steph. Whether it's you know,
they get a big or they get a small forward
or a big power forward or something they get somebody
to show up that's like, hey, now we really have
a chance to keep the dynasty going because we brought
some younger players in that can do some different things
and really open things up on the outside for Stephan Clay.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Again, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Think as you look at at Stephan Clay, I mean,
one of the things you've had to contend with was
obviously everybody's salary escalating, and then last year you pay
Jordan Poole, You make a bunch of bets with young
talent doesn't necessarily pay off. You bring in Andrew Wiggins,
he wasn't cheap, you know, and picking up his his dollars,
so you know, the money's well been spent because we've
(13:04):
chronicled you know, where they were in the luxury tax
and everything else. But to your point of moving forward,
is there someone that either didn't want to based on
the reactions and the suspension everybody loves Draymond. It's everybody
loves Raymonds. Everybody loves Draymond. But now the curious as
(13:26):
to what the next iteration is because clearly you've had
some of these younger guys that you've kind of missed
with a few others that based on the minutes they're
starting to get maybe there's more trust that they can
develop into a secondary role. I don't know that Jordan
Poole's ever going to pretend to play defense. At least
Steph pretends he may not be great at it, but
(13:47):
he's good enough to get in the way at times.
So you got that going for you. But if you
move on from Draymond and someone takes on that twenty
seven million, what comes back, right, it's a player option
for next year. So a little bit of complications when
it comes to you know how that plays out and
the theater of it all. But you know, with your
(14:08):
your Syracuse example, I think it's apt to bring that
in where you're talking about a different energy, a different culture,
build and reconstruction of something that was so long in place,
and maybe you just didn't like the tone, the tenor
and the expectation of what life would be like under
Jim Beaheim, And now it's something else, right, changing the
(14:32):
manager mid stream to find a different vibe to push
you forward. You know Steve Fisher all those years ago,
things like that, that may it said that we've got
to use him as the example since it's so long ago,
but you know what, we do it so you have
that kind of scenario. The Warriors and those that want
to declare whatever dynasty dynastic like proposition dead. I think
(14:58):
it's a little too soon for that because we still
have questions about a lot of the other also rans
and would be contenders in the Western Conference.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
But the Lakers are back. Lakers are back.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
The Lakers are back.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
They're back, and they will play. When When is game two?
May thirteenth? Is that when it is? That's game two?
Speaker 4 (15:15):
You know what my daughter's graduation graduation is June ninth,
and I know there may be a potential conflict with
game two.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yeah, the Lakers the finals.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
O listen there, we have a big cookout on the
fourth of July. That's Game two of the first round
for the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Telling you, you know, my daughter's graduating on the ninth,
kind of.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
A big deal. So uh, you know, the Lakers getting
after for Game two. I might have to miss that, Mike.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
You know who. They won't be playing in the finals.
Nick show the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
How about a fresca Mike gets swollen, or we'll get listen,
we'll get to the Knicks. We'll get to Scott Foster
and Chris Paul. Trust me, everything is fun.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Forget about the Mets.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
It's coming up next right here, Jason and Mike. This
is Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Jerks, all of you, all of you kershaw yo stop.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. And let me say this, Blank you Harmon,
Blank you, Frostburg, Blake you, Iowa Sam Blank you.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
The Knicks are fine.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Okay, everything is fine?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Because everything is fine.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Mike, he didn't watch the game tonight.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Just because he keeps You can't just keep telling yourself
that staring in the mirror, going everything's fine doesn't make
it necessarily bleeping.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
So you're still in the middle. Of the bleeping desert.
They lost tonight. They didn't play well, just lose well, well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Because they turn the ball over every eight seconds in
the second or yeah. Look, I'm not happy that Tom
Thibodeau had Julius Randall in the game in the final
two minutes to watch.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Him almost get hurt because he's some.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Reason he's not Hey, you had to teach him a lesson.
You played through adversity. Sometimes it's not your night, but
you play to the final whistle.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Oh you don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
You take your stars out of the game when you're
down by twenty with two minutes to go, to avoid
a hard foul on the layup that that involves your
best or second best player falling on his butt, maybe
getting hurt, hitting a free throw and going to the bleep.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
And locker room. You keep the guy out of the game.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
By the way, they're gonna punch Allan upside the head
next next game. Tell Allen to watch out for an
elbow in the low pot.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Look, And that's why you take that's why you take
your players out of the game, right, I mean that
that's what you do because in the final two minutes
of a game, It's not just well, hey, we're playing
the end of the game. Guys going up and down
the floor and then uh, you know, their guy could
get hurt. It's at the end of a big game
like this, it gets chippy. It's a playoff game. The
(18:04):
Knicks had won the first game, the Cavaliers win this game.
You had a couple of guys with big nights. It's
a twenty point game. You have the frustration for the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
You have the.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Cavaliers feeling giddy and happy, and I'm gonna run down here,
even though it's a twenty point lead. The Knicks are
gonna get a dunk, and I'm gonna go down and
I'm gonna go fire up Julius Randall.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That's why you take your.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Guy out of the game, right, seriously, that's why you
take your guys so you avoid something like that happening.
And luckily Randall got up and he made the free throw,
and then he went to the locker room. And now
I'm like, Okay, hopefully I don't wake up tomorrow and
find out, Oh, now he's doubtful for Game three because.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Guy a chest contusion. If that happens.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Tom Thibbdau could be fired before Game three begins, for
leaving your guy, for leaving Julius Randall in who.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Should replace Thibadeau on the bench? Eight Phil jacksonill replaced it.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
He'll just step down.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
But I'm with you like that was a play where
the have to say, hey, Jared Allen, what the hell
are you doing?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Man? Why are you firing them up anymore?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
At the end of the game. Let the guy dunk.
We're up by twenty, the game is over. What the
hell are you doing? What I mean, I get that
it's a back and forth and it's physical with a
guy all game, but you gotta be smart, man.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
It's why your professional athlete. That's why I never buy
the Oh you did you know?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
You're caught up in this and he did the moment?
This say sometimes he did the moment? Is heated the moment?
Sometimes it's no, dude, you gotta be smarter than that
to make it. Bit you have better play. You get
paid a lot of money, and you got to make
a smart play when you get paid a lot of money.
And that's one of those things where it's, dude, what
are you doing? Why are you waking them up? Why
are you giving them something like this at the end
of the game. We just blew them out. And right
now we have the mental advantage because the next game
we play, they know that not only did we beat them,
(19:44):
we worked them the entire game and they turned the
ball over and they played crappy basketball.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
So yeah, so I get that's absolutely going to be
something that motivates the Knicks. So you know, hey, good
on Jared Allen, thanks for doing that. But still, Tibbs,
what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Man? What do why leave the game? What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Because the series is over?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
All right? All right? Smart guy.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
That's why I hope the dude if the Lakers lose
Game two, when they play on Labor Day, when they
play Game two, if they lose, I am gonna be
all over I am gonna be all over you when
that happens.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I'm gonna be buying a mattress. I won't be out in.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
His fifth year in the NBA by the time they tim.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
But to tie a bunch of the stuff, let me
just tell you, go ahead, They're gonna play two games
and they'll be going back to Cleveland. Knicks will be
up three to one. That's what's gonna happen. That's what's
gonna happen because the Nick Look, look, you, you apply
the same philosophy that your team's bench and support players
play better at home.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
The Knicks have a better bench.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
The Knicks half guys coming off the bench that they
relying to do really really great things. Whether it's quickly
or top end, doesn't matter. And they're going back for
the next two games and MS gee, yeah, give me
two ws for the Knicks, and give me a three
to one series lead, going back to the cavil write
it down, going back to Cleveland, three to one.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Get it down and write it good. You like stealing
straight from the Dusty Roads playbook.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Listen, daddy, this is where we're going on. Hard times
on the road, but tied it all right, No hard times.
There's hard times, tykingna hard times.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
When you get your ass beaaten Cleveland. We're going back
to the garden. Jack, that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Walk No, I bet he better not. He couldn't make
a jumper and we needed him to. It's gonna be
three to one Knicks. It's gonna be three one Knicks.
It's fun, you.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Guys, and well that's happening.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
That's happening too. Hey, happy Aaron Rodgers Eve because it's
still Aaron Rodgers Eve. Because it could happen tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
What'd you get today?
Speaker 4 (21:50):
What kind of sand would Santa leave you today?
Speaker 6 (21:54):
That's gonna be your tombstone? Jason, it's all happening.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Hey, listen, let me it's all say. I kept leaving
a sandwich every day.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
So because it took ninety seven days for this to materialize,
Jason didn't survive it on.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
In the oh, shouldn't have eaten that.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Sandwich, all right, So let me tie these things together.
First off, you got Alan with the idiotic play.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Just don't don't.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
The series is over, buddy, no, no, no, But but I
want to tie it to the Sternum contusion and everything
else that's going on here in our larger world, all right,
where you have these unnecessary plays that exacerbate situation. In
this case, Draymond gets himself suspended. We'll see what Sabonus'
health is. I suspect he's gonna play and he'll be
(22:40):
just fine and ready to go. But you're creating situations
that don't need to exist.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
We all do this.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
In our own lives, at work, in our relationships, whatever else.
And here we watch it to play out in the
NBA in grand fashion where you're getting your ass kicked.
Just let the game finish, take your w and now
you gotta worry about retaliation. Officiating is gonna be heightened
based on little skirmishes towards the end. We watched it
(23:08):
at the end of the Sun's Clippers game tonight, as
they walk past each other, you had Chris Paul and
Kawhi Leonard do a little shoulder to shoulder bump. Nothing
comes of it, but there's those little instances right the
build up, the little as they call them in the
world these days, the microaggressions that eventually lead to a
big act. And you know there's institutional memory. And so
(23:30):
now we wait with baited breath for the next game
to see what kind of chaos ensues, both up in
San Francisco and then for you back at the garden
where people are complaining about how much it costs to
go see a game. If you had season tickets, you'd
have tickets to the playoff game, wouldn't have to go
through the secondary market. They don't care about you because
those tickets are sold.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Okay, you're right, buddy, Okay, you're okay.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Oh I was I was stalking like a cat. I
wanted to do a giant monologue like it was a
Ted talk for you there. Okay, I really thought I
just elevated there and you know, kind of like cruise
stalking around in magnolia, and eventually frogs starts falling.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
That was what ruined the movie.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
The movie that was one of the best movies I've
ever seen, right up until the part where the frog
started coming down.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I'm like, man, really, the frogs.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
You know what I think when the editing process, they said,
let's see how far they'll go with us.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Let's do it. Yeah, let's watch the.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Reviews of how this plays out, and if we add
this last bit, see if they still stay with us.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Boy, I'm telling you, we had something that could have
been best picture of what we did. We had the frogs.
Oh yeah, the frogs really did it well.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I mean, and then you sent that in as part
of your Oscar candidacy. Is it for your consideration and
you start with the frogs raining. I mean it's not good.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
No, no, no, we're not we're raining frogs never never works out. Well, hey,
let's have this in it. But the butt Yeah, I know,
but still, okay, we're gonna give it in the Bible.
It wasn't a good thing.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I mean, Charlton Heston and you can Old Chuck Heston
Company and Edward G.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Robinson. We're getting after it.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, yeah, no, that was It's a tough sell man.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
That was really difficult, really difficult, working hard on that one.
Let's find out.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
We got more NBA coming up in a minute, but
let's find out right now, what's trending in the wide
world of sports with Isaac Low and Crown.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
I love what you got for us.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
What a busy Tuesday starting off the court, because on
Tuesday night, the NBA suspended Golden State Warriors forward and
super villain Draymond Green for Game three of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Super villains like that, he's super villain.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Coming to a Hulu series near you apparently?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Sure? Oh he would, he would immediately walk into the
DC universe. Is the best villain? Oh yeah? Really that's
nothing can be take over for Jonathan Majors, who's come on,
come on, come.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
On, cost effective, No CG I needed for Rammy Cans
like you said walk right in suspended for Game three
for stepping stomping. You say Tomato, I say.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Tomaia, not just stepped in stone.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
On the chest of Sacramento's Dominis Sabonis in game two. Incidentally,
the Kings listed at domont to Sibonis as questionable for
Game three because of a sternament contusion provided by Draymond Green.
The NBA, in its announcement said that the suspension was
based in part on Green's history of unsportsmanlike acts on
(26:30):
the floor. On Tuesday evening, the Phoenix sended defeat of
the Los Angeles Clippers won twenty three to one oh
nine time that series at one with a piece. Clippers
led the game by thirteen in the second quarter, but
Phoenix outscored them after that eighty seven to sixty. Devin
Booker scored thirty eight. Kevin Durant had twenty five. The
number three trending Twitter topic in America right now Mets lose.
(26:54):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
You know it might not be my cla not be
my place to say, but have you noticed that our
beloved colleague justin kind of goes out of its, out
of his way just to stick it to you, Jason, Noh,
it's right.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
There, not out of my way at all.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
You know what they do make it convenient for you,
don't they anyway? It breaks Chris Paul's streak of losing
thirteen consecutive playoff games refereed by Scott Foster. Earlier on Tuesday,
Oh what do you know? Perfect timing? The Cleveland Cavaliers
defeated the New York Knicks one oh seven to ninety
time that series, and one Boston went up two games
(27:36):
to nine over Atlanta, beating the Hawks one nineteen to
one oh six. Baseball Tuesday Night Dodgers over the Mets
five nothing. Clayton Kershaw the two hundredth win of his career.
He struck out nine and seven innings with no walks.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
JD.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Martinez hit two home runs for the Dodgers in Stanley
Cup playoff Game ones on Tuesday Night, the Seattle cracking
one at Colorado three to one win A excuse me,
the Jets.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Just say the Jets get.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
You victorious in Vegas five to one with Jets forward
Morgan Baron returned to this game after getting more than
seventy five stitches when he took a skate to the
face as impressive a performance by the Jets since Big
(28:23):
Jim Turner kicked those three field goals in Super Bowl three.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
A Jason, here the Fats. We're living off a one win.
We're living off a one win. Hey, long road begins
with the first step.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Now that's right.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
Anyway, the New York Rangers want to New Jersey five
to one, and the Tampa Bay Lightning wonted Toronto seven
to three, as Tampa Bay became the first team in
NHL history to score a goal in the last five
seconds of a period twice in one playoff game. And
with that, Fellas, it's all yours.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
All right, Now, let's do something little fun here, because
you guys don't deserve it.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
But I know everybody's gonna listen, thinking. Boy, Jason's a
nice guy.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
He works with a bunch of jerks, and look at
the fun game he had ready for everybody. William, he
works with that Harmon who likes pretend he's his best friend.
But the minute everybody starts jumping up and down, he
piles on.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Tell a Mets game.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Frostburg is just bitter in general how.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
Much the Lakers Dodgers domination.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
He's jealous that Jason's teams are now better than all
of his teams, and Isaac Lowenkron just loves to look
for that needling one liner.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
But still, Pat Lay, Pat Lay just missed a field
goal against the Bears on Monday Night football.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
You really don't want to play this game, do you?
You really do? That's a cap that's the cap bozo game.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
All right, stay away from that game, Blair Thomas barring disaster,
A happy plane ride for Bruce Coslet and the Jets.
Are you ready to help celebrate Clayton Kershaw's two hundred win?
Are you ready to play the Clayton Kershaw game?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Let's go, you guys ready? Iowa?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Sam? Can we uh? Can we get some music for
the Clayton Kershaw game? Whatever Sam had, I'm pressing the button.
I don't know what it is. I'm just gonna impress.
It could have been anything, all right. Clayton Kershaw win
number two hundred tonight.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Yes, he's better than Oral Hersheizer.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Has Clayton Kershaw ever had a season where he's had
more losses than wins?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
What? Has he ever had a losing season? Has he
ever had a losing season? Yes? Yeah, all right, I.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
Love I'm gonna be the contrarian and say no, but.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
It's not a fair stat because he was hurt.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
You don't even know what the answer is already. You're
making an excuses fact. I'm making excuses for effect. Clayton
Kershaw has never had a losing season his first two
years in Major League Baseball five and five.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
And eight and eight. That's the last dast two seasons. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Has Clayton Kershaw ever gotten credit for a hold?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Does he have a hold.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
On his record?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Ever get credit for a hold that.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Not holds? Because they don't call him that they were holding.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
It was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Actually, yes, in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Okay, Yes, Clayton Kershaw has one hold in his MLB career.
His rookie year with the Dodgers in two thousand and eight,
he got a hold when he came out of the
bullpen for one game and he got a hold.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
That was the last time the Mats were good two
thousand and eight.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Stop we were in the World Series of twenty fifteen,
Jerk does Clayton?
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Game six just said, do you want to stop the
game right now?
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I'll turn this car right around. We'll go home right now,
does Clayton Kershaw have a save? Does he have a save?
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Yes, yeah, does he have a save?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Clayton Kershaw has never saved the regular season game regular.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Season and I ment at Washington in the playoffs, Yeah,
definitely question. We went on a technicality playoffs.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Hey, I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Do playoff wins count for his two hundred wins for
his career? Oh, I'm sorry, they don't.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I'm sorry. You don't know the rules of the game.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
It was like an Austin Seferian Jenkins touchdown getting called
back against the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Complete the Come on, everybody saw it. Everybody saw it.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
You know, you know what was wrong? Justin this is
actually fun.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
You guys are like the bad kids that way that
when the microphones go off, you're gonna get in trouble, Like,
oh man, I don't like you don't want to yell
at your kids at a party if they do, say,
you're with other adults around.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Now, I don't want to be that adult. But when
we get home, yeah, look out. Yeah, you're gonna be
grounded for like three weeks. That's that used to be
when I was a kid.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
That's when the wooden spoons and everything else would be
broken across my back.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
Hey Jason, I don't know what you're up to after
the show, but TNT is replaying the next game.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Oh that's nice. That's nice.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Maybe you can catch it.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I don't know what you're up to after the show,
but we're gonna hire a new producer. How does that sound?
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
I really thought you were gonna go for the old
house your car move, man. I couldn't go to that.
I do the key your car thing all the time.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
Welcome to the next podcast.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Has Clayton Kershaw ever had a year with an e
RA over four? Sure? Why not ERA over four?
Speaker 5 (33:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:56):
This would be rookie year or second year.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
But I'll say no, I'm gonna go no because he
plays the Mets.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Clayton Kurtin. That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Well, that lowers his ERA.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Clayton Kershaw one year with an ERA over four four point.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Two six again his rookie year.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
One year out of sixteen.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Ed, He's didn't pitch against the Mets that year, and
he's only had an ERA over three twice.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Twenty twenty one and twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
All right, last one, last one, we know it's win
number two hundred for Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
How many losses does Clayton Kershaw have in his career?
Ninety seven? But I think that's high.
Speaker 7 (34:49):
I'm gonna say one oh one.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
You have all overbid Clayton Kershaw eighty eight losses for
his MLB career.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Do you know what happened in eighty eight, Jason, Yeah,
Oral Herscheiser was the World Series.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Sorry, that's the end of the game. Championship, the end
of the game. Yes, the end of the game. Game's over.
Game's over. We're never playing a game again. We're never
playing a game again. You're never playing a game again.

Give me the hell Yeah, Fox Sports Radio, The Chase
and Smith's Show with my best friend Mike Harmon, Get
him a bunny bag live from the tire rack dot
Com studios got to play the night. Come on your
way in a couple of minutes. But first, Hey, there's
achievements and there's overcoming. Scott Foster Chris Paul wins a
(37:48):
game officiated by Scott Foster. The Suns even the series
with the Clippers at one apiece, one twenty three to
one oh nine. It was a huge night for Devin Booker,
who had thirty eight points KD had twenty five. He
really carried them in the second quarter where the Clippers
(38:09):
had had gone out to a lead.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
They had taken the lead and KDI put him on
his back for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
The game was tied at halftime and Booker takes over
in the second half. You had all five Sun starters
and double figures. I'm feeling pretty good right now if
I'm the Suns, knowing that, Okay, we lost that first game,
we got it back here. KD was great. Didn't have
to do it the whole game. We we relied on
Devin Booker telling you, as long as KD is healthy,
I feel great about the Suns. But every game it's
(38:36):
you know, you're holding your breath after every game is
over going. Okay, he's okay for the next game, He's
okay for the next game. I still feel great about
the Suns in this series, even though they lost home court.
I expected to go back to Phoenix tied to too
and they take control of this series again.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
As long as KD is healthy, as.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
Long as Eaton can outplay Zubach actually virtualization there in
the low post, but we watched Devin Booker take over
this game Kevin Durant had his streaks where he really
showed out well, particularly as they started to surge late
(39:13):
in the first half when they made that big comeback,
a run that extended just a ridiculous run into the
third quarter where it was just Haymakers raining down or
you're waiting for Duke to yell through the damn towel
because it was just that odd nothing happening on the
offensive end for the Clippers. That kind of drought cannot
happen against the Sun Steam. That's really all there is
(39:36):
to it. I mean, obvious, it's Captain Obvious radio. But
the reality is, if you're gonna have that kind of
a scoring.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Drought, this seems too good. This seems too good for that.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
Even if the depth is whittled away a little bit
by the moves they made. Star power comes to play
and Chris Paul can just flow and doesn't have to
take over.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yeah, a lot of easy buckets for the son to
the second half. I don't know how tired the Clippers were,
but it looked like they were a step behind and
the Suns definitely had it working. So one to one
for the Suns and the Clippers. Now time for the
play of the night, brought to you by Progressive Progressive
making things even easier to help you bundle your home

the night Chris Paul finally overcoming adversity in Scott Foster
and winning a playoff game, taking the belt from Scott Foster,
ripping it out of his hands after hitting him over.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
The head with a chair.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
But instead, well, when you get to two hundred wins
in Major League Baseball, you get to be the play
of the.
Speaker 9 (40:42):
Night, this night, to the night in a word, to
end this evening, Dodger's TV on the call, the final
out of the night for Clayton, his ninth strikeout, two
hundredth win in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Not the two hundreds of new three hundred, but two
hundreds of the new the new point we get to
where when you're talking about Hall of Fame candidate and
not like k Kershaw is a first ballot Hall of Famer,
but you talk about most players, you get to two
hundred wins, that's the biggest thing you need starting Pitcher
show me you get to two hundred, well that's it.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
We only have three that are viable candidates.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
You got Wayne Wright, and you got a couple others
far from the pack, and then it's a bunch of
young guys that are gonna need the longevity Bullpenn specialization.
