Speaker 2 (00:51):
Well. Here we are ninety seconds left.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
In Game six of a series that no one can
figure out.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yes, we look like we're on.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The cusp of Game seven as the Celtics lead the
seventy six ers ninety two eighty four. It's been a
big night for Joel MB twenty six and ten. You
had one job, Philly, big night for MAXI. He's got
twenty six but the Celtics riding sixteen off the bench
from Brogden on a night where Jason Tatum is shooting
(01:23):
terribly until he wasn't yeah and schill, he wasn't Okay. Well,
he is one for eleven and so now he's three
for his last nine.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
But that's fine. He's hitting three three pointers in the
final four minutes of this game.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
He's really Pete couldn't hit the broad side of a
barn all night. It's like, you want to take that shot,
go ahead, brow, God damnit he hit another one.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
He is now at sixteen nine and six. But yes,
he is four for nineteen from the floor. But he
has hit three threes in the last few minutes. It's
been a big fourth quarter for Boston, who has jumped
in front of the seventy six ers by eight again
just under a minute now, half left to go. Again,
this has not been a great night, right, Jason Tame
(02:03):
has been terrible, James Harden has been terrible. And this
is what Yeah, but we always say the same thing, Mike.
It doesn't matter if it's good, just matters if it's close, right.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
As long as it's close enough that when you start
previewing the late game and guys warming up that it's
still a game, and so the audience is still hanging around.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't want to do it. Hey, hey,
let's run a promo for the late game a lot.
Why why? I don't want anybody turn it off. I
don't want people that think.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The night is over.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You do good, We have a close game. Great, people
will stick around. Let's show yokis warming up. Let's show
Mark Jackson and Yo kitchen a fifty. Yeah, don't go away.
And there's more coming. There's more coming.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, let let's let's show all make sure we show
all that.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
But again, you know, look, this is the deal watching
watching tonight, the Sixers with a chance to close out
the game, and now they can't keep possession of the basketball.
They're now down eleven with thirty seconds left to go.
The Celtics are forcing Game seven. So now they're going
thirty five perc. Like I said in the field, it
doesn't matter. It doesn't the six shooting thirty four percent.
(03:04):
It doesn't matter if it could. It just matters if
it's close. It's like getting pizza. Is the pizza's good,
it doesn't matter. It will be here in ten minutes.
Oh great. It could be the worst pizza in the world.
But I'd rather have a bad pizza that's here in
ten minutes than it's. Say, hey, this pizza is great.
When's it coming They say at least ninety minutes. No no, no, no,
no no no no. That doesn't work. No, get me bad,
(03:25):
but pizza gonna be here at ten minutes. Give me that.
That's what I want. That's what this game is. Celtics
are gonna win. They're gonna pull away here and they're
going to force game seven.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's it. Pizza and getting it on.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No matter how bad it is, it's you know, it's
better than a sharp stick in the eye. So that's
what we have here, Celtics getting it.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That should be the slogan for the NBA playoffs. NBA Playoffs,
better than a sharp stick in the eye.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Sometimes I wonder and that might be a toss up
with some of these games, or if you were able
to immerse yourself in the game, say the virtual technology,
some of the Aaron shots and passes might actually feel
like a sharp stick in the eye. We've seen a
couple of balls go sailing as if Sewan Dunstan, Yes.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
The former.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Shortstop who would routinely airmail it to the fifteenth row.
We've seen some errant shots over the course of this game.
It's been a pretty dismal affair. But again it's close Philly.
Eleven points in the fourth quarter. Eleven points in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Just brutal.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
They let me down, Mike.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I know you were so excited.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Let Me's just going to be a night where Jason
was going to have to eat it that the Sixers
had advanced that whatever he put in the universe had
comes full circle. You didn't want him in you mom, No, no, no, no,
there they are no no stop for one second.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Stop. We're getting Game seven. And look, I'm going to.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Take responsib game seven for this series.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I am going to lean in because I made this
Philadelphia playoff run happen.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'm was the one that said.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
The beginning of the playoffs, you know, this is to
be the year that's bulletin board who all they do
is complain and whine, and there's always somebody that's it's
someone's fault at the end of the year. That's why
we didn't go so far. No one takes responsibility.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
My worst fear.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
The team that loves to talk and talk about the
greatness and disrespect even though they can't get anywhere.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
They're gonna make this run, right, and they're gonna make
You know this the year they're gonna make a run.
And here they are. I should get credit for it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Well, let me ask a big question. Here they are
one game away from the Eastern Conference finals. I should
get credit for this run by the six?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
All right, here we go, ninety five eighty six, your
final series tied at three. Jason Tatum finishes with nineteen
nine and six on the night box score reading he
had a fantastic game unless you look at the shots
made and attempted column.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Let me let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Should Philly lose Game seven, is Doc Rivers fired? Oh no,
because he's gonna blame everybody else.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Listen, you know it's it's you know, look, we love James,
but you know you can't have forty points won every
three games. We need more mean and more from him,
right and Joelle, Look, he's the MVP, but there's nights
where I need a little more from that. And you know, look,
Maxy is good, but you know it's gonna just got
to score twenty eight a game. This is not I
don't know what happen. Don't ask me. I mean I
(06:17):
all I do is coach. All I do is put
the team out there. It's it's not on mes good.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
He's junior Michael Malone impression.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
He's completely gonna just put because you know that's what's good.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
There's gonna be a fall guy.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
There's gonna be a fall guy for the playoffs, and
the fall guy if they lose will be James Hard.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Do you blame the front office because Blake Griffin's on
the other teams and not on you.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
No, he just blamed James Harden for getting old. I
mean he he.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
He is the walking definition of every three games you
get something great from because he just isn't in shape.
When he was younger and he was still on the
right side of thirty, you still had games where the
final minute of a game, or two minutes or three
minutes of a game, when the defense got tighter and
his rockets, teams or nets whoever needed a hoop, he
was tired. That was every James Harden game. He is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Oh my god, look at him for three and a
half quarters.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Then the final few minutes, James Harden is tired and
he can't make any game winning shots.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That was James Harden. Now it's James Harden.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Will have one real fantastic game, but then he's cooked
for the next two or three games. Right, he needs
a long time to get go. Look at this series
right for him? You know, forty five in game one?
All right, wow, look at this. We're gonna get this
James Harden. Next two games he was five for twenty
eight from the floor. Then after an extra day off,
forty two points in the one sixteen to one to
(07:35):
fifteen win. Great last two games seventeen thirteen thirteen. Yeah,
this is just is just who James Harden is. He
used to be someone that we can count hi until
the final couple of minutes. Now it's you can count
on him for most of the game. Every three games.
I mean that, that's really just who he is. He's
almost become like almost like a how do I say this,
(07:56):
like a lesser version of Lamar Odem because Lamar Orothim
at least is in every other game.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Guy.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Now James Harden's like in every other grabbed a bunch
of people into this lamar odem.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Bunny Ranch included or no, I mean oh no, no, no,
too soon, too soon, too soon, No.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
No, I mean it's not that far off. He does
love strip clubs. I mean it's not that far a
leap in a jump. No, I meant that pass the champagne.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But no, the guy who ran the Bunny Ranch, he
died a couple of years ago. Yeah, the off is gone.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Nobody talked about him though, Well, but will you bring.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Up the buddy? You had to bring up the dead guy?
What you doing bringing up the dead guy? You brought?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You brought I brought it up the place I talked
to bring up the guy I talked about Harden being
at every other game. Guy you just read to we're
acting like he's not going to Vegas night. Let's talk
about the Buddy Ranch. Let's talk about the Well.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I think he's gonna go, and he's gonna pause and
he's gonna cheer questions.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It's in the end the post game. Do you feel
tonight was a failure? And are you going to Vegas?
What's gonna happen tonight?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
James? Where's that gonna be? Let me ask you a
question over he man. So there we go.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Harden and the Sixers fall to this Celtics ninety five
eighty six, and both of these teams are extremely flawed.
You get great nights from the Celtics, but they don't
look like they have a lot of cohesiveness. The Sixers
still look like the same kind of team from.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
A year ago.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Albeit, hey here is a little bit stronger year from
Joel Embiid and you have a little bit better supporting
cast that that can maybe help push you through when
James Harden is in every third game. Guy, But by
and large, Celtics and Sixers, they're both teams. It's like, Okay,
I mean, I don't know that either of these teams,
any of these teams in the Eastern Conference, you come
out that any of these teams that are left, you
(09:37):
could say, hey, these teams can win a championship. There's
nobody as good as the East was right here on
the other side.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But no, But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Think about the flip side of where it was during
the regular season. The East was phenomenal, right, they had
all the play teams with the best records. They rolled
through teams. The West was e right, you had the
Nuggets at the top, and they were clearly the best.
The Grizzlies were pre pretty good. They lost job, they
wanted to run at the end. Everybody else was kind
of they were kind of just there right. All these
(10:06):
other teams, Well, the East was great. Who could win
in the Western Conference? Now I look at this, there's
not one team that's still playing in the East that
I think can win a championship definitely, Whereas I look
at the West. I could take the I'd take the Nuggets,
I would take the Sons. I would take the Lakers.
I could even see the War if the War shout
to win. Oh, sure, because KD, Katie and Booker get hot. Yeah,
(10:29):
oh no, I could see that if they get into
the NBA finals yet. Yeah, I'll take KD and Booker
and maybe Chris Paul coming back.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Just make the Sons a little tonight. Bob, Well, they
gotta win.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I mean, look, if they win, they win because Booker's
got thirty five and Durant has thirty eight or vice versa.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well that's all you got because Chris Paul playing Dura
and DeAndre Ayton's out.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, but those guys are really really good. Like I say,
they gotta win tonight. I said the first team was
the Nuggets. But if you're talking about a team that
can win the championship, I'll take all four teams left
in the West over all four teams left in the East, right,
and anybody coming out of the East right now, just
nobody looks great enough, right, And look, and every teams.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
In the West have problems. But that's the thing, ain't.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
But the Western Conference has less problems, right because the
Nuggets are healthy, right, that's the biggest thing.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
The Nuggets are always talented, the biggest thing. They're healthy. Right.
The Sun's incredibly talented. They got KD late.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Now they're trying to make it with no Chris Paul
and no DeAndre Ayton. But still, hey, Booker and KD,
you can still get a lot of stuff done. The Lakers,
it's it's surprising how well they're playing, but you see
how well they played defensively, and Lebron still has a
lot left in the tank. And ad is gonna play
on Friday night. Yeah, I could see the Lakers, and again,
I can even see the Warriors in a series where hey,
(11:46):
they shoot the lights out and suddenly Jordan Poole wakes
up or Draymond Green is the guy he was last
night for the rest of the series.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Again, I'll take any team in the West over any
team in the East right now.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah, everybody's been tenderized though, a lot of guys with
rib injury as we go into this game. That seemed
to be the theme of the night yesterday. What did
you come away with? One guy got hit in the
head and everybody else has rib injuries and Lebron showed
up on the injury report with a sore foot. So
chaos ensues. Last Man Standing twenty twenty three title. It's
a damn battle, Royale Smith, just don't let that second
(12:19):
foot hit the floor.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Bring out the guts, Mike, Let's.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Go like Otis, Let's go. And it would be tough
for me because you know, I want the know the
next the next thing. But I can't see the next winning.
I can't see the Heat winning, Jimmy. But the Heat
are playing bad. They're playing the B minus. Yeah, but
you got three guys. Yeah, but you got three guys
on their best night.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
They got nobody else, but you got three guys on
their best sights.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Hey, if it was a three on three league, I
would be I'd be okay, well, it's the Big Three,
let's go.
Speaker 2 (12:46):

Speaker 1 (14:31):
It's the Spring of Me, the Spring I Can Met
You be an album, The Spring of Me, It's.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
The Spring Summer of George, Spring of Me. Jason Smith,
twenty twenty three. Glorious time in the Stanley Cup playoffs,
as we've watched that in tandem with the NBA and
what we have been able to go through. And yes,
my Blackhawks did win the draft lottery.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Congratulations. I mean, that's a pretty that's just as big
a win as we had tonight. Kind of a kind
of a big deal, a pretty big deal. Oh, guy,
that everybody's excited about. So that's okay.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
But the fact of the matter is that you've had
a lot of scoring, and I think when we go
through each sport, what they've done rules wise and changing
the game and the aggressiveness you've just seen some wide
open hockey. So that's been a fun thing to watch
in tandem with all of the other hoops and baseball,
(15:25):
and while NFL schedule watching and video frame by frame
of the releases. But you tell the Jets day and
now your your hockey team wins too.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Oh, get my music ready? How did it sound in overtime?
The Hurricanes A little bit the Devils.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Here's the one pitch and Steers swings lifts this high
and deep left center field and it ain't coming.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Back long gone.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Spencer Steer drives it out of here to left center field.
It's five nothing reds. The two two pitch swinging a miss,
he struck him out and that's it. Red's winning five
to nothing, shutting out the Mets.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Should he yeah, se he steered it out for a
home rundj.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
But that's right, I got press bonanza.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Bomp bump, bomp, bump bump.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
That's a pretty big win.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Oh man, I'm telling you they're gonna wreck statues for
Rod Brendamore in the in the Greater Rale area.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And you know it would be a better theme song
given that they've advanced another round.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Everybody wants to rule the world. Oh no, I know,
I know that's not just for them. Though, that's not
just for them. That's pretty good too.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
But I mean, look a sweet Caroline guy wow stolen
by ninety seven teams and uh wow, don't stop believing
has been co opted by so many.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Why why can't you steal that too? Wow wow wow
wow wow wow.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Now if you get a whole crowd to do that
like they do in European soccer, chance.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Wow wow wow wow. Yeah, that could be the new
seven nation army, people going wow wow wow wow wow
wow wow wow. Pretty cool. I like that. But here's
the thing.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
The Hurricanes scoring Oh yes, we're fast scoring on deflection
in front Hurricanes on the power play because of the
ever popular puck going over the glass penalty that results
in a two minute minor.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
When your team puts.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
The puck out of its own into the crowd, that's
a two minute minor. And so the Hurricanes on the
power play and they win first team in the conference finals,
and I got brass bonanza. You're the big winner tonight
telling you man, Brenda Moore was the captain in six
win we won, and now he's gonna be the head
coach we win in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It's all full circle.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Just gotta wait then for other fifteen yearsrom Now when
when Brendamore is a GM and he brings it to you,
he's gonna win as.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
A captain, as a coach, as a GM.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Then he's gonna buy the team teen years from there
and then he's gonna have another. I'm looking at four
Stanley Cup wins over the course of the next you know,
thirty four to thirty some odd years with brindamoorre.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
No, that's pretty good. Does he get a statue created
for him? And if so, which one one is it?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Oh? Yeah? Signing contracts? Is it? Playing? I mean what
are we doing. It's the half. It's the one half
where half of them is a player and the other
half is a coach. Like that's how it's good.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yeah, Or we could just do something where we superimpose
his face over a replica of the Shack statue.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Okay, that crypto, that might work.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
And when I mean half and half, I don't mean
like down the middle, I mean like top and bottom,
like he's in he's a minotaur. Yeah, like he's in
his jersey as a player, but the bottom is the
is the suit and the shoes. Beware of the mighty minotaur.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Look at the hurricane.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
You know, for a second, I really thought we had
the game winning golf, and then it said you're really.
As soon as I heard airs on one pitch, I'm like, no, Now,
this is the whole un Sega gave up in the
first inning.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Are you new here? That's what we're getting. You want
to get it up first try? I mean, that's what
we're getting. That's what we're getting.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon
live from the tiraq dot Com Studios.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
So listen. I'm sure at some point maybe we'll get
that play at some point, but I don't know. I
highly doubt it. Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Today was as we get ready for Game six between
the Sun's End the Denver Nuggets. Today was NFL's schedule
release day and it was a very big day because
we got to see where everybody is playing. You got
to see where your team is playing. And it turns
out the Jets were in every single primetime game.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Like I told you.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
But to tell you that nothing is ever impossible, let
me just say this. First of all, don't ever tell
me anything is impossible because two of the biggest games
we are getting. The first game of the year, which
is normally the Super Bowl champions open up against a
really good team from their conference. No first game of
(19:59):
the year involves the Lions. The first Monday Night game
of the year is the Jets. So don't tell me
anything is impossible When the two biggest must see games
that we've seen the first week involved the Jets and
the Lions. Anything is possible. You work hard, Hey, maybe
that can happen for you. But suddenly the Jets and
(20:19):
the Lions are must see TV and we're gonna give
it to you right off the bat. No, we could
give you the Cowboys Week one. We could give you
the Steelers, we could give you the Bills, we can
give you the forty nine. If we give you something, No, no, no,
we are giving you the Lions and the Jets, and
we're cramming it down your throat because everybody wants to
see these teams. The Jets and the Lions own the NFL.
(20:41):
Mike Carbon, the Meek are inheriting the National Football League.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, I'm sitting there, and you know, when the Lions
came up, I was kind of shocked. I had picked
out that it was based on the schedule that was
there for KC, that we'd seen the Dolphins. You know,
let's see them. Why two, Well two is on the field.
I'm sorry it was it too soon for that, but
well but I mean, I gotta call it what it is.
(21:04):
The Lions and Jared Goff didn't didn't quite see that
one coming. So that was a little bit of an
eyeball for me. And as you go through the schedule
as a whole, the first thing that I noted was
we got these big holiday games and they're giving us
all division games except for one. It's like, what the
hell is that this is supposed to be showcase games.
(21:25):
Something different, give me something crazy. Nah, let's go division
games all down the row?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Like, what are we doing? Hey?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I mean New Year's Eve? Fine, Cincinnati and Casey yay.
But Christmas Day two of the three games Division games,
Thanksgiving Day all three division games?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Come on? Man, where's the creativity?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Look when you keep look when you put so many
bleeping games on national TV.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
You know, some games kind of have to be right, Well,
we got no choice here. What do we have where
We're gonna have Rams Cardinals? Oh? Wow, okay, I guess
we got Rams Cardinals. All right, let's uh, let's do
it Rams Cardinals. You said it, all right, that's what
we'll do. Rams Cardinals. Well, I mean you got that
going for you as well. Uh Cardinals.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Everybody just putting up a bunch of l's with a
giant question marking a picture Skyler Murray. Nah, I think
these are wins. I don't know is he playing or
is he not? What do we got going on here?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But no?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I look, it's as much as people want to just
push away. If it's the old Kevin Durant. If you
don't like it, don't watch, you don't want to listen
to schedule talk.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You know what, you can go do something else.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Plenty of other things to occupy your day if this
isn't your cup of tea, Because for a lot of
the NFL watching globe, it's a pretty big fricking deal, right.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I texted, you know Rosburg, and I go back as
the schedule is getting released.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I'm not walking my dog.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I get the all right, we're gonna beat your ass
on the twenty ninth of October, text my brother and
five minutes that he goes all right, Flight and hotel booked.
We'll figure out tickets later. Like let's go as the
Bears come to Los Angeles to play the Chargers. But
like it's excitement. People are planning trips, people are maybe
international trips. Maybe you're looking at a game to go
(23:13):
see Aaron Rodgers and watch him feed it alongside fireman D.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
If you don't like this kind of thing, you know,
there's plenty of other sporting efforts that you can go.
Wander down, go back, watch, watch some more hockey, go
pay attention to some more transfer portal news or lawsuits
involving this guy, that guy, or the other guy.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Or go to your local news station if you need to.
We're all having fun here, fun haters. It's two hundred
and seventy two great.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Bullet points for us to dissect and get excited about. Yeah,
we can scratch our heads and go, wait, why did
they do that night?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
But it's all good.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
But all of the games involved the Jets. I feel
like the Jets are on. Every single game is on natural.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
It's awesome. Feel like they tried to jam them down
our thing every single game.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I mean week one with the Bills, right then Week four,
they're on Sunday night against the Chiefs right then there,
then they're on again against the Chargers week now. Right
then They're gonna be the first six weeks.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Before the bye though.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
But looks at Dallas, New England, Casey at Denver, Ruskin
Cook uh week because he's sitting court sided basketball games
Week six Philadelphia. I mean by the bye week, I
mean you could be hurting and looking looking ahead to
the next hockey season.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Oh dude, it's a tough schedule, Don't get me wrong.
It's the first half of it is an absolute bear.
I'm not looking forward to starting Okay home against Buffalo
at Dallas, New England, the Chiefs at the Broncos, the Eagles, Giants,
the Charges.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
I'm like, come on, man, we gotta lighten up someplace.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Shimmy Garoppolo's gotta beat your ass so on Sunday night football.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
So it doesn't. It doesn't lighten up until December.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I'm like, oh, le schedulelight because one of my friends
always say, hey, our schedule lightens up in December.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I go, not if we're two and eleven. I don't wait,
where is up in December? But where?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I mean, you might have enough falcons being able to
run all over you.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Houston Jaws stop stop stopped, don't be great, don't say
crazy things. Dolphinston who knows who the quarterback of the
Dolphins is gonna be?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Then the Commanders, the Browns. Okay, you know what, the
Browns are lighting up the right. But were they good
last year?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
No? Were we good last year? We just needed a quarterback.
Now we're here, all right? So well the answer was no, though,
don't you when you say we just what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
What I'm saying is, look, it does lighten up, but
boy it is. It is very difficult. But it's okay
because we have Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
If I can buy single game tickets for the Jets
right now too, it gave me this if we.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Were faked with that stop there's so much money. You can't.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
You You couldn't even buy the Jets play. Come on,
he couldn't afford. We're on national TV every other week.
It every other week we're on No you get because
we have Aaron Rodgers. We have Aaron Rodger where we're at.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
That's all we need.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
It's all We buy some pretty good seats for like
two hundred bucks apiece.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Look, if this was Zach be there facing this schedule,
I would say, oh yeah, okay, no we can. We
can't win every game thirteen ten, right, Kno gonna or
with Zach Wilson Moore, we can't win every game seven
to three, right. But but it's Aaron Rodgers now, so
it's okay. So we'll win a shoot out with the Cowboys. Now,
it's all good. We'll beat the crap out of the
Patriots because they think, right, we're gonna beat the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
We're gonna win it Denver again. We're gonna play at
Denver again. But okay, we'll go there.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
The Eagle's not gonna know what's hit them, even though
we've never beaten them before. They're not gonna know what's
hit them. That's an unbelievable way we go. We're gonna
beat the Eagles, We're gonna beat the Cheese. We're gonna
be at it's gonna be Look at the Jets. Look
how big this team is just rolling through everybody. Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
That's how it's gonna happen. Mike.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I like your enthusiasm, excitement, hope springs eternal, except to
my guys in Baltimore when I talked to earlier, because
they were a little nervous that Lamar Jackson didn't show
up despite his contract. But hey, all's fair as we
get ready for a long, arduous journey into the NFL,
abyss and I'm glad right now you can celebrate your
(27:24):
Jets because we'll stay by the end of September.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
How you're feeling, and not that.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I can't talk about other teams, but boy, the Jets.
I would just look at Lamar Jackson's contract to make
sure he's not do a big amount of money, whether
he shows up or not, right, like, there's.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Not that clause in there.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Well, hey, he's got one hundred million dollars whether he
takes the field for the team or not. As long
as that clause isn't in there, I feel pretty good
he's gonna show up.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
But you never know.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
It's like, well, you know what, it's just the do
you change out your coordinator, you change out a bunch
of component parts of your offense, and your quarterback doesn't
show up to the start of OTAs.
Speaker 2 (28:00):

(28:38):
a game clinching game. The Celtics find a way to
win a game that well, neither team really wanted to win,
and they force Game seven back in Boston, said Joel
Embiid following tonight's game. Who doesn't love Game seven? Joel
Jason Smith, Fox Sports Radio, The answer is your coach,
(28:59):
because he's.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Not good at it.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I got thoughts, Joelle, do you really want to answer
to that question, who doesn't love game?
Speaker 2 (29:06):
It was rhetorical? Don't you dare? Answer? Smith? Really?
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Really?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
You really think?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
So?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Really?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I just saw this stat about Doc Rivers that that
I can't believe is true, not the game seven one,
because we know about what his history of Game seven is.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
He's now going to his sixteenth Game seven.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
He has lost eight or eight or the eight or
nine in a row. But he's got a decent record.
He's still you know, six and nine, you know, say,
in game seven. So it's not like the guys one
in fifteen or something. So we know that he's not
been great in game sevens, and recently he's not been
great in game sevens. But that I you know that
we all knew Doc Rivers game seven don't really go together.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Man.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
But this is what I can't believe. I saw this
up Action Network has it? I think there's a link
on ESPN to it all. You ready for this? All
the time in clinching games, in series clinching games, Doc
Rivers teams are seventeen and thirty two. His thirty two
(30:06):
losses are by far the most.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
In NBA history.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
And you're shocked.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
His team have had forty nine chances to clinch a
series and he's lost that clinching game thirty two times.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I am, I said, there's no way that's right.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Come on, there's no thirty two times he's lost a
clinching I know, No, there's no way.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Nope, thirty two times he has lost those games.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's not surprising that Mike, that's Mike. That's thirty three percent. Yeah, yeah,
that's not dude. I mean that's you talk about Doc
Rivers in game seven is bad?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
This is like beyond bad. Yeah. But you know what's funny.
I would have thought it was worse.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Maybe a smaller sample size, but I would have I
would have believed that the percentage was very low. You
got that one year, I got that one year, and
you got a bunch of l's when you had great
teams assembled, great expectations, as it were, Steve from the
Degenzian world, and here we are, once again with the
(31:04):
opportunity to add another luh.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Now, I'll look, I'll tell you this. I'll be able
to tell the future. I'll tell you the future right now.
If the Sixers lose Game seven, okay, Sixers lose Game seven,
the Celtics win, they go on another year where the Sixers.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Talk talk talk talk and found a way to not wait.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Right, Doc Rivers will be asked what went wrong after
the game?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Right, he'll be said, what happened? Why couldn't you win? Doc?
What is it? What is it?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
And again he's gonna say, I don't know, because that's
kind of what he says when his teams get eliminated, Doc,
what happened?
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I don't know?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Like he almost feels like I'm giving you an honest answer, like, hey,
I'm being real with you right now, so respect me
for being real.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Sure, but he always.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Says I don't know, I don't know, and you know,
once or twice I kind of feel like, Okay, that's cool,
he's being real.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
But when you say it all the time, I don't know,
I don't know. I don't know. Dude, what do you
don't tell me? You don't know what happened? Don't tell me,
you don't know why? You didn't say it's raining, but
you're yeah, no exactly, And.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
How have you not learned if you don't know what
happened in game seven by now, how to not fix
that for the next time. But I guarantee you if
they lose Doc what happened, he will say, I don't know,
because that's what he always is.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe
Joelle's fault. I don't know, Maybe James is fault. I
don't know, I don't know. No, this is not shocking
at all.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
This is.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I mean, it's just data that backs once otherwise a narrative.
How many times you say, well, that's not true, and
here's some advanced stats to try.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
To prove you wrong. There's there's no dancing around this one.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
You want a hot take, hit me, most overrated coach
in the history of coaches hot take?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
No, I think I agree with him, though, I mean no.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Look, look, Doc had the one year with the Celtics
where it all came together a Garnett. When you have
three Hall of Famers at rondo, a title I just
happened to win when I had three Hall of Famers.
He had the one year, and I give him credit
because you gotta you have one year one but one year.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Everything else has been what's going on? Why can't you
get the Clippers out of the second round? Dude? What's
going on? Why can't you get the Sixers out of
the second round? Doc? Doc? What's going Why can't you
do this? Doc?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
You know? Everything else on legit. You gotta win something
to be overrated. So he won the one thing so
you can say.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
He's most overrated. That's not at take. I really thought
you were going down in the lineup.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
You're gonna start doing a row home Doc, Doc, Doc, gym.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Presco, Mike gets swollen. Dumb that could happen, Hey, one
more year. Maybe Doc is doing games with Tony Romo.
You never know, could happen that way? Uh?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Coming up next?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Oh, by the way, Uh, nobody's qualified for the conference
finals yet in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
But one team maybe just a little bit away from
doing it. That's next. This is Fox

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Well. Here we are ninety seconds left.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
In Game six of a series that no one can
figure out.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yes, we look like we're on.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The cusp of Game seven as the Celtics lead the
seventy six ers ninety two eighty four. It's been a
big night for Joel MB twenty six and ten. You
had one job, Philly, big night for MAXI. He's got
twenty six but the Celtics riding sixteen off the bench
from Brogden on a night where Jason Tatum is shooting
(01:23):
terribly until he wasn't yeah and schill, he wasn't Okay. Well,
he is one for eleven and so now he's three
for his last nine.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
But that's fine. He's hitting three three pointers in the
final four minutes of this game.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
He's really Pete couldn't hit the broad side of a
barn all night. It's like, you want to take that shot,
go ahead, brow, God damnit he hit another one.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
He is now at sixteen nine and six. But yes,
he is four for nineteen from the floor. But he
has hit three threes in the last few minutes. It's
been a big fourth quarter for Boston, who has jumped
in front of the seventy six ers by eight again
just under a minute now, half left to go. Again,
this has not been a great night, right, Jason Tame
(02:03):
has been terrible, James Harden has been terrible. And this
is what Yeah, but we always say the same thing, Mike.
It doesn't matter if it's good, just matters if it's close, right.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
As long as it's close enough that when you start
previewing the late game and guys warming up that it's
still a game, and so the audience is still hanging around.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't want to do it. Hey, hey,
let's run a promo for the late game a lot.
Why why? I don't want anybody turn it off. I
don't want people that think.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The night is over.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
You do good, We have a close game. Great, people
will stick around. Let's show yokis warming up. Let's show
Mark Jackson and Yo kitchen a fifty. Yeah, don't go away.
And there's more coming. There's more coming.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, let let's let's show all make sure we show
all that.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
But again, you know, look, this is the deal watching
watching tonight, the Sixers with a chance to close out
the game, and now they can't keep possession of the basketball.
They're now down eleven with thirty seconds left to go.
The Celtics are forcing Game seven. So now they're going
thirty five perc. Like I said in the field, it
doesn't matter. It doesn't the six shooting thirty four percent.
(03:04):
It doesn't matter if it could. It just matters if
it's close. It's like getting pizza. Is the pizza's good,
it doesn't matter. It will be here in ten minutes.
Oh great. It could be the worst pizza in the world.
But I'd rather have a bad pizza that's here in
ten minutes than it's. Say, hey, this pizza is great.
When's it coming They say at least ninety minutes. No no, no, no,
no no no no. That doesn't work. No, get me bad,
(03:25):
but pizza gonna be here at ten minutes. Give me that.
That's what I want. That's what this game is. Celtics
are gonna win. They're gonna pull away here and they're
going to force game seven.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's it. Pizza and getting it on.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No matter how bad it is, it's you know, it's
better than a sharp stick in the eye. So that's
what we have here, Celtics getting it.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That should be the slogan for the NBA playoffs. NBA Playoffs,
better than a sharp stick in the eye.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Sometimes I wonder and that might be a toss up
with some of these games, or if you were able
to immerse yourself in the game, say the virtual technology,
some of the Aaron shots and passes might actually feel
like a sharp stick in the eye. We've seen a
couple of balls go sailing as if Sewan Dunstan, Yes.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
The former.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Shortstop who would routinely airmail it to the fifteenth row.
We've seen some errant shots over the course of this game.
It's been a pretty dismal affair. But again it's close Philly.
Eleven points in the fourth quarter. Eleven points in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Just brutal.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
They let me down, Mike.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I know you were so excited.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Let Me's just going to be a night where Jason
was going to have to eat it that the Sixers
had advanced that whatever he put in the universe had
comes full circle. You didn't want him in you mom, No, no, no, no,
there they are no no stop for one second.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Stop. We're getting Game seven. And look, I'm going to.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Take responsib game seven for this series.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I am going to lean in because I made this
Philadelphia playoff run happen.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'm was the one that said.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
The beginning of the playoffs, you know, this is to
be the year that's bulletin board who all they do
is complain and whine, and there's always somebody that's it's
someone's fault at the end of the year. That's why
we didn't go so far. No one takes responsibility.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
My worst fear.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
The team that loves to talk and talk about the
greatness and disrespect even though they can't get anywhere.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
They're gonna make this run, right, and they're gonna make
You know this the year they're gonna make a run.
And here they are. I should get credit for it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Well, let me ask a big question. Here they are
one game away from the Eastern Conference finals. I should
get credit for this run by the six?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
All right, here we go, ninety five eighty six, your
final series tied at three. Jason Tatum finishes with nineteen
nine and six on the night box score reading he
had a fantastic game unless you look at the shots
made and attempted column.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Let me let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Should Philly lose Game seven, is Doc Rivers fired? Oh no,
because he's gonna blame everybody else.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Listen, you know it's it's you know, look, we love James,
but you know you can't have forty points won every
three games. We need more mean and more from him,
right and Joelle, Look, he's the MVP, but there's nights
where I need a little more from that. And you know, look,
Maxy is good, but you know it's gonna just got
to score twenty eight a game. This is not I
don't know what happen. Don't ask me. I mean I
(06:17):
all I do is coach. All I do is put
the team out there. It's it's not on mes good.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
He's junior Michael Malone impression.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
He's completely gonna just put because you know that's what's good.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
There's gonna be a fall guy.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
There's gonna be a fall guy for the playoffs, and
the fall guy if they lose will be James Hard.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Do you blame the front office because Blake Griffin's on
the other teams and not on you.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
No, he just blamed James Harden for getting old. I
mean he he.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
He is the walking definition of every three games you
get something great from because he just isn't in shape.
When he was younger and he was still on the
right side of thirty, you still had games where the
final minute of a game, or two minutes or three
minutes of a game, when the defense got tighter and
his rockets, teams or nets whoever needed a hoop, he
was tired. That was every James Harden game. He is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Oh my god, look at him for three and a
half quarters.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Then the final few minutes, James Harden is tired and
he can't make any game winning shots.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That was James Harden. Now it's James Harden.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Will have one real fantastic game, but then he's cooked
for the next two or three games. Right, he needs
a long time to get go. Look at this series
right for him? You know, forty five in game one?
All right, wow, look at this. We're gonna get this
James Harden. Next two games he was five for twenty
eight from the floor. Then after an extra day off,
forty two points in the one sixteen to one to
(07:35):
fifteen win. Great last two games seventeen thirteen thirteen. Yeah,
this is just is just who James Harden is. He
used to be someone that we can count hi until
the final couple of minutes. Now it's you can count
on him for most of the game. Every three games.
I mean that, that's really just who he is. He's
almost become like almost like a how do I say this,
(07:56):
like a lesser version of Lamar Odem because Lamar Orothim
at least is in every other game.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Guy.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Now James Harden's like in every other grabbed a bunch
of people into this lamar odem.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Bunny Ranch included or no, I mean oh no, no, no,
too soon, too soon, too soon, No.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
No, I mean it's not that far off. He does
love strip clubs. I mean it's not that far a
leap in a jump. No, I meant that pass the champagne.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But no, the guy who ran the Bunny Ranch, he
died a couple of years ago. Yeah, the off is gone.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Nobody talked about him though, Well, but will you bring.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Up the buddy? You had to bring up the dead guy?
What you doing bringing up the dead guy? You brought?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You brought I brought it up the place I talked
to bring up the guy I talked about Harden being
at every other game. Guy you just read to we're
acting like he's not going to Vegas night. Let's talk
about the Buddy Ranch. Let's talk about the Well.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I think he's gonna go, and he's gonna pause and
he's gonna cheer questions.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It's in the end the post game. Do you feel
tonight was a failure? And are you going to Vegas?
What's gonna happen tonight?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
James? Where's that gonna be? Let me ask you a
question over he man. So there we go.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Harden and the Sixers fall to this Celtics ninety five
eighty six, and both of these teams are extremely flawed.
You get great nights from the Celtics, but they don't
look like they have a lot of cohesiveness. The Sixers
still look like the same kind of team from.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
A year ago.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Albeit, hey here is a little bit stronger year from
Joel Embiid and you have a little bit better supporting
cast that that can maybe help push you through when
James Harden is in every third game. Guy, But by
and large, Celtics and Sixers, they're both teams. It's like, Okay,
I mean, I don't know that either of these teams,
any of these teams in the Eastern Conference, you come
out that any of these teams that are left, you
(09:37):
could say, hey, these teams can win a championship. There's
nobody as good as the East was right here on
the other side.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But no, But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Think about the flip side of where it was during
the regular season. The East was phenomenal, right, they had
all the play teams with the best records. They rolled
through teams. The West was e right, you had the
Nuggets at the top, and they were clearly the best.
The Grizzlies were pre pretty good. They lost job, they
wanted to run at the end. Everybody else was kind
of they were kind of just there right. All these
(10:06):
other teams, Well, the East was great. Who could win
in the Western Conference? Now I look at this, there's
not one team that's still playing in the East that
I think can win a championship definitely, Whereas I look
at the West. I could take the I'd take the Nuggets,
I would take the Sons. I would take the Lakers.
I could even see the War if the War shout
to win. Oh, sure, because KD, Katie and Booker get hot. Yeah,
(10:29):
oh no, I could see that if they get into
the NBA finals yet. Yeah, I'll take KD and Booker
and maybe Chris Paul coming back.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Just make the Sons a little tonight. Bob, Well, they
gotta win.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I mean, look, if they win, they win because Booker's
got thirty five and Durant has thirty eight or vice versa.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well that's all you got because Chris Paul playing Dura
and DeAndre Ayton's out.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, but those guys are really really good. Like I say,
they gotta win tonight. I said the first team was
the Nuggets. But if you're talking about a team that
can win the championship, I'll take all four teams left
in the West over all four teams left in the East, right,
and anybody coming out of the East right now, just
nobody looks great enough, right, And look, and every teams.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
In the West have problems. But that's the thing, ain't.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
But the Western Conference has less problems, right because the
Nuggets are healthy, right, that's the biggest thing.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
The Nuggets are always talented, the biggest thing. They're healthy. Right.
The Sun's incredibly talented. They got KD late.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Now they're trying to make it with no Chris Paul
and no DeAndre Ayton. But still, hey, Booker and KD,
you can still get a lot of stuff done. The Lakers,
it's it's surprising how well they're playing, but you see
how well they played defensively, and Lebron still has a
lot left in the tank. And ad is gonna play
on Friday night. Yeah, I could see the Lakers, and again,
I can even see the Warriors in a series where hey,
(11:46):
they shoot the lights out and suddenly Jordan Poole wakes
up or Draymond Green is the guy he was last
night for the rest of the series.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Again, I'll take any team in the West over any
team in the East right now.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah, everybody's been tenderized though, a lot of guys with
rib injury as we go into this game. That seemed
to be the theme of the night yesterday. What did
you come away with? One guy got hit in the
head and everybody else has rib injuries and Lebron showed
up on the injury report with a sore foot. So
chaos ensues. Last Man Standing twenty twenty three title. It's
a damn battle, Royale Smith, just don't let that second
(12:19):
foot hit the floor.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Bring out the guts, Mike, Let's.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Go like Otis, Let's go. And it would be tough
for me because you know, I want the know the
next the next thing. But I can't see the next winning.
I can't see the Heat winning, Jimmy. But the Heat
are playing bad. They're playing the B minus. Yeah, but
you got three guys. Yeah, but you got three guys
on their best night.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
They got nobody else, but you got three guys on
their best sights.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Hey, if it was a three on three league, I
would be I'd be okay, well, it's the Big Three,
let's go.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I would take him in the Big Three?

Mike Harmon, my teams.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
It's the Spring of Me, the Spring I Can Met
You be an album, The Spring of Me, It's.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
The Spring Summer of George, Spring of Me. Jason Smith,
twenty twenty three. Glorious time in the Stanley Cup playoffs,
as we've watched that in tandem with the NBA and
what we have been able to go through. And yes,
my Blackhawks did win the draft lottery.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Congratulations. I mean, that's a pretty that's just as big
a win as we had tonight. Kind of a kind
of a big deal, a pretty big deal. Oh, guy,
that everybody's excited about. So that's okay.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
But the fact of the matter is that you've had
a lot of scoring, and I think when we go
through each sport, what they've done rules wise and changing
the game and the aggressiveness you've just seen some wide
open hockey. So that's been a fun thing to watch
in tandem with all of the other hoops and baseball,
(15:25):
and while NFL schedule watching and video frame by frame
of the releases. But you tell the Jets day and
now your your hockey team wins too.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Oh, get my music ready? How did it sound in overtime?
The Hurricanes A little bit the Devils.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Here's the one pitch and Steers swings lifts this high
and deep left center field and it ain't coming.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Back long gone.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Spencer Steer drives it out of here to left center field.
It's five nothing reds. The two two pitch swinging a miss,
he struck him out and that's it. Red's winning five
to nothing, shutting out the Mets.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Should he yeah, se he steered it out for a
home rundj.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
But that's right, I got press bonanza.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Bomp bump, bomp, bump bump.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
That's a pretty big win.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Oh man, I'm telling you they're gonna wreck statues for
Rod Brendamore in the in the Greater Rale area.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And you know it would be a better theme song
given that they've advanced another round.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Everybody wants to rule the world. Oh no, I know,
I know that's not just for them. Though, that's not
just for them. That's pretty good too.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
But I mean, look a sweet Caroline guy wow stolen
by ninety seven teams and uh wow, don't stop believing
has been co opted by so many.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Why why can't you steal that too? Wow wow wow
wow wow wow.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Now if you get a whole crowd to do that
like they do in European soccer, chance.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Wow wow wow wow. Yeah, that could be the new
seven nation army, people going wow wow wow wow wow
wow wow wow. Pretty cool. I like that. But here's
the thing.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
The Hurricanes scoring Oh yes, we're fast scoring on deflection
in front Hurricanes on the power play because of the
ever popular puck going over the glass penalty that results
in a two minute minor.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
When your team puts.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
The puck out of its own into the crowd, that's
a two minute minor. And so the Hurricanes on the
power play and they win first team in the conference finals,
and I got brass bonanza. You're the big winner tonight
telling you man, Brenda Moore was the captain in six
win we won, and now he's gonna be the head
coach we win in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It's all full circle.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Just gotta wait then for other fifteen yearsrom Now when
when Brendamore is a GM and he brings it to you,
he's gonna win as.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
A captain, as a coach, as a GM.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Then he's gonna buy the team teen years from there
and then he's gonna have another. I'm looking at four
Stanley Cup wins over the course of the next you know,
thirty four to thirty some odd years with brindamoorre.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
No, that's pretty good. Does he get a statue created
for him? And if so, which one one is it?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Oh? Yeah? Signing contracts? Is it? Playing? I mean what
are we doing. It's the half. It's the one half
where half of them is a player and the other
half is a coach. Like that's how it's good.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yeah, Or we could just do something where we superimpose
his face over a replica of the Shack statue.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Okay, that crypto, that might work.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
And when I mean half and half, I don't mean
like down the middle, I mean like top and bottom,
like he's in he's a minotaur. Yeah, like he's in
his jersey as a player, but the bottom is the
is the suit and the shoes. Beware of the mighty minotaur.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Look at the hurricane.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
You know, for a second, I really thought we had
the game winning golf, and then it said you're really.
As soon as I heard airs on one pitch, I'm like, no, Now,
this is the whole un Sega gave up in the
first inning.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Are you new here? That's what we're getting. You want
to get it up first try? I mean, that's what
we're getting. That's what we're getting.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon
live from the tiraq dot Com Studios.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
So listen. I'm sure at some point maybe we'll get
that play at some point, but I don't know. I
highly doubt it. Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Today was as we get ready for Game six between
the Sun's End the Denver Nuggets. Today was NFL's schedule
release day and it was a very big day because
we got to see where everybody is playing. You got
to see where your team is playing. And it turns
out the Jets were in every single primetime game.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Like I told you.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
But to tell you that nothing is ever impossible, let
me just say this. First of all, don't ever tell
me anything is impossible because two of the biggest games
we are getting. The first game of the year, which
is normally the Super Bowl champions open up against a
really good team from their conference. No first game of
(19:59):
the year involves the Lions. The first Monday Night game
of the year is the Jets. So don't tell me
anything is impossible When the two biggest must see games
that we've seen the first week involved the Jets and
the Lions. Anything is possible. You work hard, Hey, maybe
that can happen for you. But suddenly the Jets and
(20:19):
the Lions are must see TV and we're gonna give
it to you right off the bat. No, we could
give you the Cowboys Week one. We could give you
the Steelers, we could give you the Bills, we can
give you the forty nine. If we give you something, No, no, no,
we are giving you the Lions and the Jets, and
we're cramming it down your throat because everybody wants to
see these teams. The Jets and the Lions own the NFL.
(20:41):
Mike Carbon, the Meek are inheriting the National Football League.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, I'm sitting there, and you know, when the Lions
came up, I was kind of shocked. I had picked
out that it was based on the schedule that was
there for KC, that we'd seen the Dolphins. You know,
let's see them. Why two, Well two is on the field.
I'm sorry it was it too soon for that, but
well but I mean, I gotta call it what it is.
(21:04):
The Lions and Jared Goff didn't didn't quite see that
one coming. So that was a little bit of an
eyeball for me. And as you go through the schedule
as a whole, the first thing that I noted was
we got these big holiday games and they're giving us
all division games except for one. It's like, what the
hell is that this is supposed to be showcase games.
(21:25):
Something different, give me something crazy. Nah, let's go division
games all down the row?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Like, what are we doing? Hey?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I mean New Year's Eve? Fine, Cincinnati and Casey yay.
But Christmas Day two of the three games Division games,
Thanksgiving Day all three division games?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Come on? Man, where's the creativity?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Look when you keep look when you put so many
bleeping games on national TV.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
You know, some games kind of have to be right, Well,
we got no choice here. What do we have where
We're gonna have Rams Cardinals? Oh? Wow, okay, I guess
we got Rams Cardinals. All right, let's uh, let's do
it Rams Cardinals. You said it, all right, that's what
we'll do. Rams Cardinals. Well, I mean you got that
going for you as well. Uh Cardinals.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Everybody just putting up a bunch of l's with a
giant question marking a picture Skyler Murray. Nah, I think
these are wins. I don't know is he playing or
is he not? What do we got going on here?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But no?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I look, it's as much as people want to just
push away. If it's the old Kevin Durant. If you
don't like it, don't watch, you don't want to listen
to schedule talk.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You know what, you can go do something else.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Plenty of other things to occupy your day if this
isn't your cup of tea, Because for a lot of
the NFL watching globe, it's a pretty big fricking deal, right.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I texted, you know Rosburg, and I go back as
the schedule is getting released.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I'm not walking my dog.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I get the all right, we're gonna beat your ass
on the twenty ninth of October, text my brother and
five minutes that he goes all right, Flight and hotel booked.
We'll figure out tickets later. Like let's go as the
Bears come to Los Angeles to play the Chargers. But
like it's excitement. People are planning trips, people are maybe
international trips. Maybe you're looking at a game to go
(23:13):
see Aaron Rodgers and watch him feed it alongside fireman D.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
If you don't like this kind of thing, you know,
there's plenty of other sporting efforts that you can go.
Wander down, go back, watch, watch some more hockey, go
pay attention to some more transfer portal news or lawsuits
involving this guy, that guy, or the other guy.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Or go to your local news station if you need to.
We're all having fun here, fun haters. It's two hundred
and seventy two great.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Bullet points for us to dissect and get excited about. Yeah,
we can scratch our heads and go, wait, why did
they do that night?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
But it's all good.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
But all of the games involved the Jets. I feel
like the Jets are on. Every single game is on natural.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
It's awesome. Feel like they tried to jam them down
our thing every single game.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I mean week one with the Bills, right then Week four,
they're on Sunday night against the Chiefs right then there,
then they're on again against the Chargers week now. Right
then They're gonna be the first six weeks.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Before the bye though.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
But looks at Dallas, New England, Casey at Denver, Ruskin
Cook uh week because he's sitting court sided basketball games
Week six Philadelphia. I mean by the bye week, I
mean you could be hurting and looking looking ahead to
the next hockey season.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Oh dude, it's a tough schedule, Don't get me wrong.
It's the first half of it is an absolute bear.
I'm not looking forward to starting Okay home against Buffalo
at Dallas, New England, the Chiefs at the Broncos, the Eagles, Giants,
the Charges.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
I'm like, come on, man, we gotta lighten up someplace.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Shimmy Garoppolo's gotta beat your ass so on Sunday night football.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
So it doesn't. It doesn't lighten up until December.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I'm like, oh, le schedulelight because one of my friends
always say, hey, our schedule lightens up in December.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I go, not if we're two and eleven. I don't wait,
where is up in December? But where?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I mean, you might have enough falcons being able to
run all over you.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Houston Jaws stop stop stopped, don't be great, don't say
crazy things. Dolphinston who knows who the quarterback of the
Dolphins is gonna be?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Then the Commanders, the Browns. Okay, you know what, the
Browns are lighting up the right. But were they good
last year?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
No? Were we good last year? We just needed a quarterback.
Now we're here, all right? So well the answer was no, though,
don't you when you say we just what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
What I'm saying is, look, it does lighten up, but
boy it is. It is very difficult. But it's okay
because we have Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
If I can buy single game tickets for the Jets
right now too, it gave me this if we.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Were faked with that stop there's so much money. You can't.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
You You couldn't even buy the Jets play. Come on,
he couldn't afford. We're on national TV every other week.
It every other week we're on No you get because
we have Aaron Rodgers. We have Aaron Rodger where we're at.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
That's all we need.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
It's all We buy some pretty good seats for like
two hundred bucks apiece.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Look, if this was Zach be there facing this schedule,
I would say, oh yeah, okay, no we can. We
can't win every game thirteen ten, right, Kno gonna or
with Zach Wilson Moore, we can't win every game seven
to three, right. But but it's Aaron Rodgers now, so
it's okay. So we'll win a shoot out with the Cowboys. Now,
it's all good. We'll beat the crap out of the
Patriots because they think, right, we're gonna beat the Broncos.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
We're gonna win it Denver again. We're gonna play at
Denver again. But okay, we'll go there.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
The Eagle's not gonna know what's hit them, even though
we've never beaten them before. They're not gonna know what's
hit them. That's an unbelievable way we go. We're gonna
beat the Eagles, We're gonna beat the Cheese. We're gonna
be at it's gonna be Look at the Jets. Look
how big this team is just rolling through everybody. Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
That's how it's gonna happen. Mike.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I like your enthusiasm, excitement, hope springs eternal, except to
my guys in Baltimore when I talked to earlier, because
they were a little nervous that Lamar Jackson didn't show
up despite his contract. But hey, all's fair as we
get ready for a long, arduous journey into the NFL,
abyss and I'm glad right now you can celebrate your
(27:24):
Jets because we'll stay by the end of September.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
How you're feeling, and not that.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I can't talk about other teams, but boy, the Jets.
I would just look at Lamar Jackson's contract to make
sure he's not do a big amount of money, whether
he shows up or not, right, like, there's.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Not that clause in there.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Well, hey, he's got one hundred million dollars whether he
takes the field for the team or not. As long
as that clause isn't in there, I feel pretty good
he's gonna show up.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
But you never know.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
It's like, well, you know what, it's just the do
you change out your coordinator, you change out a bunch
of component parts of your offense, and your quarterback doesn't
show up to the start of OTAs.

(28:38):
a game clinching game. The Celtics find a way to
win a game that well, neither team really wanted to win,
and they force Game seven back in Boston, said Joel
Embiid following tonight's game. Who doesn't love Game seven? Joel
Jason Smith, Fox Sports Radio, The answer is your coach,
(28:59):
because he's.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Not good at it.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I got thoughts, Joelle, do you really want to answer
to that question, who doesn't love game?
Speaker 2 (29:06):
It was rhetorical? Don't you dare? Answer? Smith? Really?
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Really?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
You really think?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
So?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Really?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I just saw this stat about Doc Rivers that that
I can't believe is true, not the game seven one,
because we know about what his history of Game seven is.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
He's now going to his sixteenth Game seven.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
He has lost eight or eight or the eight or
nine in a row. But he's got a decent record.
He's still you know, six and nine, you know, say,
in game seven. So it's not like the guys one
in fifteen or something. So we know that he's not
been great in game sevens, and recently he's not been
great in game sevens. But that I you know that
we all knew Doc Rivers game seven don't really go together.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Man.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
But this is what I can't believe. I saw this
up Action Network has it? I think there's a link
on ESPN to it all. You ready for this? All
the time in clinching games, in series clinching games, Doc
Rivers teams are seventeen and thirty two. His thirty two
(30:06):
losses are by far the most.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
In NBA history.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
And you're shocked.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
His team have had forty nine chances to clinch a
series and he's lost that clinching game thirty two times.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I am, I said, there's no way that's right.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Come on, there's no thirty two times he's lost a
clinching I know, No, there's no way.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Nope, thirty two times he has lost those games.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's not surprising that Mike, that's Mike. That's thirty three percent. Yeah, yeah,
that's not dude. I mean that's you talk about Doc
Rivers in game seven is bad?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
This is like beyond bad. Yeah. But you know what's funny.
I would have thought it was worse.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Maybe a smaller sample size, but I would have I
would have believed that the percentage was very low. You
got that one year, I got that one year, and
you got a bunch of l's when you had great
teams assembled, great expectations, as it were, Steve from the
Degenzian world, and here we are, once again with the
(31:04):
opportunity to add another luh.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Now, I'll look, I'll tell you this. I'll be able
to tell the future. I'll tell you the future right now.
If the Sixers lose Game seven, okay, Sixers lose Game seven,
the Celtics win, they go on another year where the Sixers.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Talk talk talk talk and found a way to not wait.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Right, Doc Rivers will be asked what went wrong after
the game?
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Right, he'll be said, what happened? Why couldn't you win? Doc?
What is it? What is it?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
And again he's gonna say, I don't know, because that's
kind of what he says when his teams get eliminated, Doc,
what happened?
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I don't know?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Like he almost feels like I'm giving you an honest answer, like, hey,
I'm being real with you right now, so respect me
for being real.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Sure, but he always.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Says I don't know, I don't know, and you know,
once or twice I kind of feel like, Okay, that's cool,
he's being real.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
But when you say it all the time, I don't know,
I don't know. I don't know. Dude, what do you
don't tell me? You don't know what happened? Don't tell me,
you don't know why? You didn't say it's raining, but
you're yeah, no exactly, And.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
How have you not learned if you don't know what
happened in game seven by now, how to not fix
that for the next time. But I guarantee you if
they lose Doc what happened, he will say, I don't know,
because that's what he always is.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe
Joelle's fault. I don't know, Maybe James is fault. I
don't know, I don't know. No, this is not shocking
at all.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
This is.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I mean, it's just data that backs once otherwise a narrative.
How many times you say, well, that's not true, and
here's some advanced stats to try.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
To prove you wrong. There's there's no dancing around this one.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
You want a hot take, hit me, most overrated coach
in the history of coaches hot take?
Speaker 2 (32:49):
No, I think I agree with him, though, I mean no.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Look, look, Doc had the one year with the Celtics
where it all came together a Garnett. When you have
three Hall of Famers at rondo, a title I just
happened to win when I had three Hall of Famers.
He had the one year, and I give him credit
because you gotta you have one year one but one year.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Everything else has been what's going on? Why can't you
get the Clippers out of the second round? Dude? What's
going on? Why can't you get the Sixers out of
the second round? Doc? Doc? What's going Why can't you
do this? Doc?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
You know? Everything else on legit. You gotta win something
to be overrated. So he won the one thing so
you can say.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
He's most overrated. That's not at take. I really thought
you were going down in the lineup.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
You're gonna start doing a row home Doc, Doc, Doc, gym.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Presco, Mike gets swollen. Dumb that could happen, Hey, one
more year. Maybe Doc is doing games with Tony Romo.
You never know, could happen that way? Uh?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Coming up next?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Oh, by the way, Uh, nobody's qualified for the conference
finals yet in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
But one team maybe just a little bit away from
doing it. That's next. This is Fox
