Speaker 4 (00:54):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Coming up, we'll get to the big night in the NBA,
including an ejection by the from the best player in league.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
That is just shocking and know Lebron James was not
ejective from the game.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Player at the league. You tried to fool people, see you.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Know you lied to us through song.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I hate when people do that, but it's time that
certain fans, certain teams have to come to grips with
the reality and this is going to excite everybody else
in a sports fan base. Today, Scott Boris MLB Super
Agents of the Stars decided to just.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Let it rip when it came to all of his clients.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Right, A guy who was a you know, twenty years ago,
Scott Boris is maybe the second most powerful guy in
the sport.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
The way he was able to push contracts with with
his clients, whether it was.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Manny Ramirez or Alex Rodriguez opting out in the World
Series JD. Drew leaving a contract that he had already
agreed to. He was incredibly powerful and he was that
powerful a guy. Now in the last twenty years, Scott
Boris is still incredibly powerful, but his power has now
gone to the fact, to the side of Hey, this
(02:08):
is a guy who when you talk about danger and power,
it goes specifically to what it means when he represents
a client on your team. And today he talked a
lot about some of the guys he represents. Three of
the biggest, most high profile guys who are either coming
up on free agency or are free agents. He talked
(02:29):
about Pete Alonzo, Cody Bellinger, Juan Soda, and he said
many things that if I'm a fan of any of
these teams, you act to prepare for the fact that
they're all going to leave. None of them are going
to stay. Right, talking about Pete Alonzo, he said, well,
when it comes to the Polar Bear and the Mets,
we're not in contract hibernation.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
That's president.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
David Stern says, well, I had a good conversation with
Scott Boris. I don't know, but they're not in contract hibernation.
So this means that he wants a new deal for
Peter Alonzo. Here he is a little bit more in
detail from today.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
What do you think the chances are something that's done
with Peter A. Lonzo before his.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Actually I met yesterday at length with David and we
had a long conversation about his philosophies and ideology, and
he certainly abused Pete as a core part of their team,
and you know, we just kind of let him know that,
you know, when it comes to the Polar Bear, we're
not in contract hibernation.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Scott Boris has jokes. Scott Boris has jokes.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
He's done is. Cadence was like a younger Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, well, it's funny because looking at him today talking,
you'll remind me of was him at the GM at
the general manager meetings, Like that scene in a movie
in the very beginning when they need to establish a
guy's importance and power and they have him like talking
to a class in a you know, an or an auditorium,
or giving a lecture of some kind like that's watching
(04:00):
him talk about all these guys going, we have to
establish that that, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Scott Boris is a powerful guy.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
He went on and he talked about the Mets and
they're spending and says that, hey, even when you have
the bigger jet and you say you're going slower, you're
still going faster, which means the Mets should still spend.
He was asked about Cody Bellinger, who had a big
bounce back year this year, and he said for the Cubs, quote,
Chicago got the comforts of a full belly. They're going
to have to loosen their belts to keep Bellinger right.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
He's got jokes, he's got jokes.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Well he is in New York. I mean, you got
plenty of plenty of writers there.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Here he is again, you know, hey, now the writers
the writers strike is over. He doesn't have to write
everything himself. But Scott Boris likes it.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
But when he came to Chicago, he just feasted on
major league pitching. And really, uh, you know, I think
Chicago got the comforts of a full belly, so they're
going to have to loosen their belts to keep Bellinger.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I like how he said when he came in Chicago
he feasted on major league pitching. What about the three
years before that when he's stunk with who is he facing?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Then?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I don't understand was he facing super major league pitching?
Speaker 7 (05:09):
I don't get he's stunk kids for you still feel
the breeze from all those Tomahawks trikeouts.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And when it came to Juan Soto, he said, the
Padres definitely planned to have Juan Soto in their line
up next to you.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
You know he actually.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Does he have any jokes about the Padres and what
that was?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
No, no, no, because he's got he's got a tree.
He's got to tread lightly here because I know what
he wants. And this is what I mean when I
say all of these guys like I've already come to
grips that Pete a. Lonzo is gone right, because the
reason you hire Scott Boris it's and look, and this
is not a Boris thing where hey, Scott Boris just
(05:51):
takes clients and all he does is just go for
the highest bidder, and oh he doesn't care. He doesn't
care about the team, he doesn't care about his player's relationship.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
With the team. He just gets guys.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Scott Boris isn't someone who grabs it, who gets a
guy for a client, puts him in a room, ties
him up, and makes him sign a contract because it's
the highest deal. No guys hire Scott Boris because they
want to get paid and they don't care if it's
gonna be with Maybe it's with the team they've played with,
but it doesn't have to be.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
When you go after Scott bor when you make him your.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Agent, you know, Okay, he's gonna get me every dollar
that I want coming to me. And if the team
that I'm playing for is it gonna pay me, I'll
go somewhere else. The minute Scott Boris represents somebody on
your team, you have to be comfortable with the fact
that you're gonna wind up losing him at some point.
Because that's why Peter Alonzo's got him, That's why Cody
Bellinger's got him, That's why Won Soto's got him.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
With Alonzo, it's easy.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Apparently they are really far off, because there's no reason
why the Mets wouldn't extend Pete Alonzo. The guy's a
homegrown superstar, fifty home runs every year. Why wouldn't you
do it? The fact that he was out there for
trade talk last year tells me that what Scott Boris
wants for peace Alonzo, the Mets are saying, forget it,
that is way too much, or what we want. Cody Bellinger,
of course, the guy wants to get paid. He turned
(07:06):
down a twenty five million dollar option this year because
he finally had a good year and he knows I
can get paid someplace else. Let me ask you, do
you want to give Cody Bellinger one hundred and fifty
million dollars for one good year after he had three
bad ones? Of course not. But this is why you
get Scott Boris, because Boris is gonna make sure that
what happens is these guys get the money and they
(07:27):
want it, and it's not gonna come from their team.
Scott Boris knows the odds of them staying with their
teams are slim because it doesn't work for Scott Boryon.
Because this is the one part about Boris that that
you have to understand is true. If you re sign
with a team and it doesn't reset the market, that
does Scott Boris no good. It does him no good
because he wants to sit there and say, hey, look,
everybody who comes in gets the highest deal they could
(07:49):
get and there's no sweetheart deals. That doesn't make me
look good. But if he if I have a guy
who resigns with the team and gives him a little
bit of a hometown discount, kind of like Maximunsey did
with with the with the Dodgers, I mean Scott Boris
would faint dead away if that happen. He's not gonna
represent anybody and not gonna let anybody take those kind
of deals he wants. What can I say? What can
I put on my wall as Hey, you come to
(08:11):
me and i'm your and i'm your agent, I'm gonna
get you one of these deals. So the guys already
go to him knowing, yeah, whatever you get in me,
that's what I want. So Sagabye to Alonzo, sagodbye to Bellinger,
And at some point the pod is gonna have to
say goodbye to Wan Soto because unless they sign him
this offseason. And can you give another guy three hundred
or so or four hundred million dollars while you're paying
(08:33):
all these other guys three hundred or four hundred million.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
You can't do it. You can't do it.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You're paying Machado, you're paying, you be paying Sodo again,
you are paying Tatise, you're paying does all these guys.
You can't do it unless you're trading other guys away.
So understand that Juan Soto, hey, you're renting him for
a while, but it's gonna be a big deal somewhere.
And trust me, it's great to have to know that
Swan Sota is gonna be in the Padres lineup now.
(08:57):
But just watch if he can facilitate a trade from
another team, he's gonna broke her that deal. He's gonna
bro Hey, you know, the Padres, I don't know if
you have the money. Hey, Wan, they may not have
the money. I don't know if they do or not.
They're kind of dragging their feet. But maybe I can
get the Yankees interested, or I can get the Dodgers
interested or not. The Dodgers are not time the same thing,
but I could get the Mets interested. I'd get these
(09:17):
other teams interested. Yeah, yeah, let's go look at that.
And he will try to push that deal to happen
because a Wan Soto deal that resets the market, that's
what he wants. He's not getting a Wan so to
reset the market deal with San Diego because they can't
because you can't trade Tatisse, you can't trade Machad.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
What are you gonna do? Right?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I mean, the San Diego is not Steve Cohen. Even
Steve Cohen's not gonna pay that kind of money. So
anytime you see this and I see Boris talking, it's
like boom, Alonzo's gonna be on a new team, so
is Bellinger, and eventually Solo won Soto.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
That's how it goes.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Yeah, I mean he's looking to reset it's either the
total deal or the average per year.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Whatever the case may be.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
I mean the stats and breakdowns and comparisons that Boris
brings to the table with his squad or legendary right
that we've talked about for as long as we've been
doing this is you know, he doesn't have to be likable,
that's not his job. I do like the scenario you
set up of he's forcing guys, you know, chaining them
(10:12):
up to force them to sign a deal. You talk
about a kind of a mutant Celtic pride the way
that is, I'm kidnapping you and now we're gonna go
find a new deal.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Ready, let's go.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
So it's the this process is pretty basic. When it's
all said and done. We got a high power agent
who gets the most because they look, he's not one
to be trifled with, right, He's not a guy that
gms are coming in and they're gonna softball, like they're
getting right down to brass tacks, like there's no hey,
(10:48):
we'll exchange you know, pleasantries and bs offers like you
get you cut to the chase, and you get right
to it because he's all about all right on to
the next deal and onto the next bigger deal. And
I can't do that one until I get you and
hold you over a barrel here and here and here.
(11:10):
So for these three particular players, yeah, I mean they're
they're all in great positions. I like that he's joking
and and the one liners are good, they're almost burmanisms,
So that's good.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
But for Alonso, I mean, that's that's a great fit.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
But we've been hearing about trade rumors forever, right, especially
once they divested themselves of the pitchers. It was, well,
is he gonna go to before this is done? And
they didn't and they stayed the course. It's something that
you know, Sternsy and the Pope will have great reports
on as we go through.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
But oh no, and it'll be a trade where the
Mets will trade him to a team get what they
get back, and that new team is gonna sign Alonzo
to a big deal. He's not sticking around. Yeah, No,
the Mets aren't gonna lose him for nothing. It's gonna
be at some point, Hey, we're letting you go. We're
getting what we can.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Back, and your new team is going to sign you.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Hey, here's a deal, and Pete Lonza was now a
Minnesota twin and he's gonna be made whatever, whatever it's
gonna be.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
That's how the announcement goes.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
No, all all of it, and Bellinger I think depending Look,
it's all the Otani's piece of it. Is is really
the intriguing part or the cub's going to go full
on and spend like we talked about yesterday. You can
find the podcast wherever you download audio. We appreciate you
being part of the extended family here, Jason.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
You can't give Cody Bellinger all that, but especially nobody should,
but especially not Chicago Man. No one, good year the
guy had but stunk for the three before.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
No, forget it.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
But it's like the you know Corey Seeger going back
and having great success during the World Series run when
they played in Arlington, and then what did he do?
He went and hit thirty three oh five with like
seventy extra base hits in his home park This year
in leading the Rangers to a World Series title, Bellinger
(13:00):
hit like a madman in Wrigley Field. I think you
found a spot.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Now.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
It's just a matter of what's the dollars? Did it
make sense? And it's the whole show? Hey Otani thing?
Or are you going all in again? Drawing off of
the council conversation we had yesterday.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Exit, how about a Fresca exit?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Swollen down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon live from the Tyreck dot Com Studios. Just
come to grips with the fact that all those guys
are going to be gone and on new teams coming

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon live from the tire Rack dot Com studios.
And tonight in the NBA, Boy, we had a trifecta
of big time results and look none bigger than Victor
Webbin Yama coming into Madison Square Garden with some weak
ass crap and getting shown the door quickly by the
(14:58):
New York Knicks, who won by all one hundred tonight.
You don't bring that weak ass crap into MSG. He
may as well go back to Europe now he's done.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
He's done. You cannot handle Nick smoke.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
And that's what it's gonna be like, go back to
He may retire tonight, they may they may have retired.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Victor Webbinyana.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
See here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
You know, you're working from the Mobile tire Act dot
Com Fox Sports Radio shooting today. If we'd been in
the same room, I mean that, if you really sold
that to the camera that I'm staring at right now
you want to talk about hot take artistry and going.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Viral, that would be you on a whole other level.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
He may retire, this may be it like Lebron having that.
I may retire press. This may be Hey, listen, I
know I'm young, I'm starting out. I'm not even twenty
years old. But I can't compete with this lad. I
just walked into the most famous reen in the world.
Look what happened. Look what happened.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I'm a shell of my former self.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Just like that. Done done, done, done done that.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
You're calling for the guy to be out in the
end of his career before it even begins.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
He or he'll want to get traded to the next Look,
I don't want I want to be on the other
end of that, the.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
End of that beatdown that I just saw you.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I want to nick Nat Knicks, Knicks, Nicks, Knicks, nick Nick.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Next level stuff.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
I mean early in the show, as we got started
and that game was coming into its final throws. I
mean I can only imagine you dancing around and celebrating.
Since forty eight hours ago I watched you die a
little bit with each snap taken by Zach Wilson.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
Oh those weren't even snaps.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
I don't even know what to call him, you know,
time of possession at least, you know, they didn't have
much of it.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
They ran one great play which they should literally run
every damn play, the Wildcat, the breeze Hall.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
How do we get the ball in Breesehall's hands?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Well, let me tell you, yeah, it's gonna snap it
right to him, but he can't throw.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
It doesn't matter. It's better than giving it to Zach Wilson.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
But look, that was a big clearly, But I mean, look,
the Knicks win, It's expected, they're going to the finals.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Not a lot of drama there.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Wow, wow, I'm no, no.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
But let's get to another couple of games that deserve
a big breakdown, because we watched tonight something that was
just absolutely shocking. The Milwaukee Bucks were cruising against the
Detroit Pistons, because you know Milwaukee Detroit, you know, of
course Milwaukee's gonna be cruising. Well, they were up by
thirteen in the third quarter. Everything was great, and then
(17:25):
this happened to Jannis.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
Is his third block, He's gonna take.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
What nobody has. He just dunked it.
Speaker 10 (17:42):
From the look, I understand if he's he dunked the
ball and did what he's done a million different times,
and it's.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
What did he do?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And it's his second technical, so he's gonna have to
leave the game. ESPN on the Yannis goes in for
a dunk and gets tossed because he picks up his
second technical and a thirteen point Bucks lead turned into
a ten point Bucks deficit. Now the Bucks did rally
because Pistons go on a big eighteen to four run
(18:15):
to win the game. But this ejection on Yannis, well,
it's just abysmal. It's officials who say, hey, you came
to the game tonight to see me officiate. Yannis goes
in for the dunk and he dunks the ball, and
there's a couple of Pistons players waiting to inbound the ball.
Yannis comes down, he dunks it, he stops, he gives
(18:36):
a little bit of a yell, he turns, he puts
his hands down as he goes up the floor, and boom,
he is given a te and thrown out of the game.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
It's not egregious.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
He didn't get into another player's face, He didn't do
anything to embarrass another player. He dunked, he yelled, and
he turned to run back up the court and he
put his hands down and suddenly he's out of the game,
and it's like, are you kidding me? And if that's
not bad enough, he tried to go to talk to
the officials right after, who all wouldn't even talk to him, like, Hey,
what did I do?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
What did I do? Now he's not out of control.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
He's got Draymond Green standing on top of the scorer's
table going yeah, I'm out.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Everybody stand up.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, no, no, no. He went to say, hey, what happened?
What did I do?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
What did I do? Because you can see him going
why what did I do?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
And none of the officials would talk to him, and
they pushed him out of the way and said no.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
You're gone. Come on, man, I mean I don't understand
what this is.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
You wouldn't want to talk about NBA officiating and go
why are certain calls made? I would look at that
and go, what's that all about? What is that all about?
How do you throw the guy out of the game
for that? There's no reason to unless you have a
personal vendetta against Giannis. You came into the game knowing
I'm going to officiate a certain way and if Yannis
does something or something, I'm gonna throw him out of
the game.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
But this is just abysmal.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
This is where if you're Adam Silver, you have the
offic you give that phone call to Jannis to apologize,
and not only that, an apology phone calls not enough.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
You go to his house.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You go to his house and I don't care what
kind of family situation he's got, whether it's him all
his family, he can invite friends over, and you apologize
to him in front of everybody, because that's how bad
of a call that was, whether it's just a couple
of people he yan his house where he's having a
big party, apologize to everybody. Because I see that and
I go, what what are we really doing? What is
the NBA doing? What is NBA officiating doing? Do we
(20:20):
need to have some kind of of look into this
and why something like this would happen, because that there's
no way on any level why that should have been
his second technical and he's out of the game.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
There's none.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
Well, it gets down to do you think he stared
down Isaiah Stewart long enough? In that I don't know
what second way?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Too long?
Speaker 6 (20:42):
A long, long enough momentum was carrying him into and
through Isaiah Stewart, who went to challenge him, and they
got in under the basket, and I don't know, Yannis
flackstafftered the dunk that might have been a little scary,
might have been a little intimidating. Now, like this is
just another extension of our world of officiating. And it's
(21:05):
tough because it's, as we talked with Rick Buker earlier tonight,
tough gig right, trying to keep pace with these guys.
Certainly in the NFL we talk about it all the time,
which is why Jay Glazer's Special Forces Officiating Crew is
something I want to see implemented at least then a
trial run.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But guy got involved ready already.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Had a technical fall, and then we always say, well,
now you know you can't do anything. Well this did
he how much did he really do? There's not gonna
be any apology, and nor should there be, and like
it's a bad call. Life goes on. Now if you
want to do what the Lakers did, now you send
tape of this, and it's just we also included this
(21:46):
gift of Yanna shrugging his shoulders saying what the hell
man along with it, like the Lakers complaining about foul
calls that Lebron James isn't getting. We discussed that a
little bit last night. Too strong and whines a lot
probably the two reasons that really come back on Lebron
James A bunch is what we decided yesterday's show. But
(22:06):
with this thing with you, honest, yeah, it's it's egregious,
it's terrible. Let's officiate all emotion out of the NBA
games is really where this one came out to. The
guy was excited, he had a block and he went
the other way for a dunk, flexed and got tossed
from a game.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
And he didn't flex on a player. He didn't even
yelling at it.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I mean, you could argue that he kind of did too,
h but you can.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
See he's all the way on the right side of
the Pistons player and he's yelling like into the crowd.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I know, it's but it's perspective.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
And if you're an official that wants to make a
big play by the way, you know, let's let me
make sure.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
To get this out here for you, Jason.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
The fact that they went from being up as much
as they were to be in down ten. How soft
is that guy got kicked out? You're supposed to be
a championship contender. Oh man, they kicked him out. What
do we do now?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Man?
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Oh no, it's Detroit and now they're putting up forty
three in the third.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Dude, he let Detroit do that day they did.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
They put him forty three points in the third. I
mean they were selling after Janna has gotten kinked down.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Dude, I don't even know that he got thrown out
after he just put his hands down to run up
the court. I think he got thrown out just for yelling,
because I think by the time he turned and put
his hands down, he was already thrown out. Like I'm
trying to see when the official did the did the
you're out of the game, And I think he did
it right after it quick because as soon as Jannis
(23:37):
puts his hands down to run up for he looks
up and says, wait what, I'm out of the game.
So I think he dunked and just yelled for for
a half second, and that's what gets you out of
the game. I mean, come on, man, I mean you
know this is where I look at officials, and I go, uh,
the NBA needs to take hold of this because you
can't keep having this where the plit where it feels
(23:58):
like there are personal vendetta is against players and and
and the referees have this because you don't need any
more Scott Foster Chris Paul stories.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
You don't. You don't need them, you know.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I mean, it's not like the NFL, where you know,
does Jerome Boger have something against Tom Brady?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
You know, I don't know, but how often does he
do with Tom Brady game?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Right?
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Got Jerome? But some of them well because I was thinking,
you know, who throw who threw a lot of penalty?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, But but when you look at the NBA, yeah,
some of these officials see the same players much more
over the course of a season.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You know, if you do a if you do a
uh to a tongue of Iloa game or in Lamar
Jackson game or whatever, you know, chances are you're not
going to do that same game the next week. You're
gonna see that maybe one more time in the year.
And but when you but NBA, you see the same
players a lot, and maybe maybe that comes to it,
and there's officials who just for some reason go in
(24:53):
going I don't like this guy, and I go in
with an agenda that if he does whatever he does,
I didn't like what he did the last game, and
that stays in my head. But that's something that the
NBA has got to adjudicate this because I know you
don't want to take any powers away from the officials,
but when something like this happens, I need to see
the NBA say, hey, don't worry, we're on this. We're
going to look into this and see just why he
got thrown out. We're going to talk to the official,
(25:15):
and then we're gonna have most likely an apology. We'll
have a statement for you at some point coming up
soon right after this.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
Here's the letter of apology unofficial letterhead.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
We blew it.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
It's early November. Get over it.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
As far as that goes. Hopefully that apology goes to
Jannis very soon. The Lakers in the Rockets tonight, the
big Dylan Brooks revenge. Yeah, Lebron knocked the Grizzlies out
of the playoffs last.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Year all by himself because Dylan Brooks was locking up
Lebron James Jason. It didn't happen.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Yeah, the Lakers didn't play tonight.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Oh they didn't. Oh they canceled that game.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
Okay, they didn't play.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Well, here's a final call then, of whatever team the
Rockets played against tonight and how that game ended.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
That MS Sanchez gets hit the Borers locos.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Of Michael says on that call, it's not excited like
that on Thursday night.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
At Billy Mac.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
That is the verbal of equivalent of getting hit with
a chair.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
How did it go for the Rockets tonight? How did
it end? It ended? Kind of like it is?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Hey, Rockets swam.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
Final score tonight here for the Turner Center in downtown Houston,
Rockets one at twenty eight and the Los Angeles Lakers
ninety four.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Jason, I've been at this network for Marmy thirteen, fourteen years.
I've never heard of Rockets final call.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
No, well that's what it sounds like. They go hear
that again.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Please it was really good?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
It is, hey.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Good they won the championship.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Rockets Radio Network on the call. Look, the Rockets aren't
very good. They win this game and suddenly here are
the Lakers three and five, they lost five on the road,
and I'm here to zig where you think I'm gonna zag.
It's still fine for the Lakers. Everything is still fine.
They're still putting out a new lineup every night. They're
still trying to get healthy, and until that happens, this
(27:31):
is where the.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Lakers are gonna be.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I know what the Lakers thought was, We're gonna get
out to a decent start this year with all our players,
and we can keep the minutes down on Lebron and ad.
Oh by the way, no Anthony Davis for this game,
but instead the Lakers have had to play Lebron long
stretches in a couple of games, and now no Anthony
Davis tonight. He's already dinged up a little bit. It's
gonna be a little bit of time now. The goodness
(27:54):
for the Lakers is I would expect by the close
to the middle of the season, once they get healthy
and they figure out their rotations and all their players
get healthy.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
And come back, things are gonna be fine. Right.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
The Lakers are gonna find a way. Hatchimura will find
his way through other Austin Reeves will be much more
in his role and hit a lot of shots.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
You're gonna get.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
You're gonna get the the injured guys coming back, and
it's gonna be fine. It's just gonna take a little
while longer. So things are gonna be fine for the Lakers.
It's just gonna be instead of the beginning of the
season where hey, Lebron can take nights off play twenty
five minutes, it's gonna be more towards middle of the year,
and that's absolutely fine.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Look, Hotchimore even said.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
After tonight, it feels like every night we have a
trade because of the way the lineups are, Like how
crazy the lok like everyone who's a new guy I'm
playing with the coming off the bench, a new guy
coming back.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
So it's just gonna be a little bit. The Lakers
are fine.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I know they don't want to go through this early
in the season, but this is not me pressing the
Paddic button going off. Lakers are trouble Lakers. It's just
gonna be a case of it'll be a little bit
longer than it was expected, but things are gonna be
fine for the Lakers.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Funny that you get that quote from Hachimura, who had
twenty four and eight and turned to the court after
missing a couple of games. He went and saw specialists
and stuff after sustaining a concussion.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
So good to see.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Him back on the court and excelling, uh in terms
of his tent for fourteen performance.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
But yeah, I'm not as as rosy and optimistic.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
You just got run off the court by the Rockets.
The Rockets now they are four and one at home.
That was a pretty sweet looking court.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
The Lakers.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
On Friday they begin their in season tournament play against
the Phoenix Suns, so we'll see what kind of monstrosity
the court becomes for that game. But you know how
much we love the nd season tournament. Our guy Frostburg
just in my ear going rumors about Caruso coming back,
and everybody's saying, hey, we need to make something happen, right,
(29:50):
we need a star, we need to make something happen.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Start, So it's Alex Caruso, you know, it's actually it's
actually David Caruso.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
You're going to get He's gonna be the play I.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Thought Austin Reeves was your third star.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
He's captain America's captain two.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
Nine minus twenty eight and is twenty six minutes of
work seven points on the board. But yeah, you're also
presuming a Lebron stays healthy and b Anthony Davis gets
healthy and then stays there. Both I think are losing propositions.
Frostburg that prediction or go ahead the Seahawks destroying Ravens
(30:29):
on the road. I can't believe you are sticking with that.
I think the football game wrong. He couldn't even give
a straight face. As soon as I started asking him,
he started laughing.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I don't understand. That's all night with you. I don't understand.
I don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
Iiither did anybody that listened to it.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
And I picked more games right, way more games right
than I figure out.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
I missed a game, It's okay, it happens. It's all right.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
Him a blowout. You didn't even take the points.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
Now, now, I'd be remiss. Wouldn't have helped me. I said,
I didn't need the points, and it wouldn't help.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Instead of.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
He bet that as a straight money line bet. So
there's there's no going back from that. But also also
we'd be remiss when we talk about the Lakers and
their struggles. The Clippers also are now zero and four
on the road.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
No Los Angeles team wins.
Speaker 7 (31:27):
On the How about that catch by Iron Eagle that yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Hey James hard he knows where to go with the ball,
and you know, I want to get into Iron Eagle
for a dunk.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
He had a lot of air yards.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
Thank you, we did, Iron Eagle caught Harden's pass.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Coming up next, we have a play of the night.
You have to hear to believe. That's next. Right here,
Jason and Mike, This is Fox.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
got the play that might come in your.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Way in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
But a big takeaway from a big game tonight in
the NBA, the Nuggets.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Hold off the Warriors one eight one five.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Good game.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
No Jamal Murray right, he's out for a month, doesn't matter.
The Nuggets still win at home. Yokich, who said he
was exhausted, goes for thirty five and thirteen rebounds and
five first I look, I mean, they're still a great team.
The Nuggets are eight and one. But but here's the
thing about the Warriors. The biggest thing they needed and
(32:38):
they knew going into this season, was we need to
make sure the support players around Steph and Clay and
to an extent, Raymond are better because they didn't get
they not get didn't get anything from their bench.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
They gotta make sure it's better.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
And now that Chris Paul has been coming off the
bench for a little bit, the second unit of the
Warriors is starting to score a lot of points. They
had forty two off the bench tonight. Everybody off the
bench was a plus. Everybody starting for the Warriors was
a minus. Now that Chris Paul is comfortable coming off
the bench, he's okay with doing it because he started
the first couple of games and Draymond came back and
(33:15):
he went back to the bench. But as long as
it goes like this, Chris Paul has to play twenty
twenty five minutes a night.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
He's extending his career. He's got a lot left in
the tank.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
And suddenly you're gonna see the Warriors be even more
dangerous than they were a year ago because they figured
out their support Because with Stephan Clay getting older and
Clay's not the same guy, they absolutely need this, and
so far they're getting it. They might wind up being
more dangerous than they were a year ago because they
figured out their bench.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Now, yeah, a.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Couple of things that go to it. I mean Draymond
he isn't playing yet, so you've gotten that, right, whatever
you think of him, there's so many things he does
on the court well to help facilitate on both ends
of the court. The other was, you know, and we
were talking with Rick Buker earlier and I texted you,
I go, all right, how much do we ask about
Jordan Poole in his list of hates? Does he get
(34:06):
in there? Because clearly his absence is making things flow
just a wee bit better there in the Bay Area,
So so that certainly flows as well. Yeah, positivity for
the Warriors. I don't think that's come out of your
mouth in a long time.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
I know, right, but call like I see it.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
That's the one thing that they needed their support players
because all their guys are getting older. Wiggins is not
going to score. He's a nice story to score the
you know, between seventeen and twenty two points a game,
but they needed more from their bench, and now they're
getting it. And now watch on yes, it's early. And
like I said, with Chris Paul, everything is great with
Chris Paul until you absolutely need him the most.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
But so far, so good. The Warriors figured out their bench.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
They're scoring a lot of points and that's nothing but
good telling me man, that's a that's a great, great thing,
right there.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Great game. That was a nice nightcap.

Well.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Coming up, we'll get to the big night in the NBA,
including an ejection by the from the best player in league.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
That is just shocking and know Lebron James was not
ejective from the game.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Player at the league. You tried to fool people, see you.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Know you lied to us through song.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I hate when people do that, but it's time that
certain fans, certain teams have to come to grips with
the reality and this is going to excite everybody else
in a sports fan base. Today, Scott Boris MLB Super
Agents of the Stars decided to just.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Let it rip when it came to all of his clients.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Right, A guy who was a you know, twenty years ago,
Scott Boris is maybe the second most powerful guy in
the sport.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
The way he was able to push contracts with with
his clients, whether it was.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Manny Ramirez or Alex Rodriguez opting out in the World
Series JD. Drew leaving a contract that he had already
agreed to. He was incredibly powerful and he was that
powerful a guy. Now in the last twenty years, Scott
Boris is still incredibly powerful, but his power has now
gone to the fact, to the side of Hey, this
(02:08):
is a guy who when you talk about danger and power,
it goes specifically to what it means when he represents
a client on your team. And today he talked a
lot about some of the guys he represents. Three of
the biggest, most high profile guys who are either coming
up on free agency or are free agents. He talked
(02:29):
about Pete Alonzo, Cody Bellinger, Juan Soda, and he said
many things that if I'm a fan of any of
these teams, you act to prepare for the fact that
they're all going to leave. None of them are going
to stay. Right, talking about Pete Alonzo, he said, well,
when it comes to the Polar Bear and the Mets,
we're not in contract hibernation.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
That's president.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
David Stern says, well, I had a good conversation with
Scott Boris. I don't know, but they're not in contract hibernation.
So this means that he wants a new deal for
Peter Alonzo. Here he is a little bit more in
detail from today.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
What do you think the chances are something that's done
with Peter A. Lonzo before his.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Actually I met yesterday at length with David and we
had a long conversation about his philosophies and ideology, and
he certainly abused Pete as a core part of their team,
and you know, we just kind of let him know that,
you know, when it comes to the Polar Bear, we're
not in contract hibernation.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Scott Boris has jokes. Scott Boris has jokes.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
He's done is. Cadence was like a younger Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, well, it's funny because looking at him today talking,
you'll remind me of was him at the GM at
the general manager meetings, Like that scene in a movie
in the very beginning when they need to establish a
guy's importance and power and they have him like talking
to a class in a you know, an or an auditorium,
or giving a lecture of some kind like that's watching
(04:00):
him talk about all these guys going, we have to
establish that that, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Scott Boris is a powerful guy.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
He went on and he talked about the Mets and
they're spending and says that, hey, even when you have
the bigger jet and you say you're going slower, you're
still going faster, which means the Mets should still spend.
He was asked about Cody Bellinger, who had a big
bounce back year this year, and he said for the Cubs, quote,
Chicago got the comforts of a full belly. They're going
to have to loosen their belts to keep Bellinger right.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
He's got jokes, he's got jokes.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Well he is in New York. I mean, you got
plenty of plenty of writers there.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Here he is again, you know, hey, now the writers
the writers strike is over. He doesn't have to write
everything himself. But Scott Boris likes it.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
But when he came to Chicago, he just feasted on
major league pitching. And really, uh, you know, I think
Chicago got the comforts of a full belly, so they're
going to have to loosen their belts to keep Bellinger.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I like how he said when he came in Chicago
he feasted on major league pitching. What about the three
years before that when he's stunk with who is he facing?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Then?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I don't understand was he facing super major league pitching?
Speaker 7 (05:09):
I don't get he's stunk kids for you still feel
the breeze from all those Tomahawks trikeouts.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And when it came to Juan Soto, he said, the
Padres definitely planned to have Juan Soto in their line
up next to you.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
You know he actually.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Does he have any jokes about the Padres and what
that was?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
No, no, no, because he's got he's got a tree.
He's got to tread lightly here because I know what
he wants. And this is what I mean when I
say all of these guys like I've already come to
grips that Pete a. Lonzo is gone right, because the
reason you hire Scott Boris it's and look, and this
is not a Boris thing where hey, Scott Boris just
(05:51):
takes clients and all he does is just go for
the highest bidder, and oh he doesn't care. He doesn't
care about the team, he doesn't care about his player's relationship.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
With the team. He just gets guys.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Scott Boris isn't someone who grabs it, who gets a
guy for a client, puts him in a room, ties
him up, and makes him sign a contract because it's
the highest deal. No guys hire Scott Boris because they
want to get paid and they don't care if it's
gonna be with Maybe it's with the team they've played with,
but it doesn't have to be.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
When you go after Scott bor when you make him your.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Agent, you know, Okay, he's gonna get me every dollar
that I want coming to me. And if the team
that I'm playing for is it gonna pay me, I'll
go somewhere else. The minute Scott Boris represents somebody on
your team, you have to be comfortable with the fact
that you're gonna wind up losing him at some point.
Because that's why Peter Alonzo's got him, That's why Cody
Bellinger's got him, That's why Won Soto's got him.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
With Alonzo, it's easy.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Apparently they are really far off, because there's no reason
why the Mets wouldn't extend Pete Alonzo. The guy's a
homegrown superstar, fifty home runs every year. Why wouldn't you
do it? The fact that he was out there for
trade talk last year tells me that what Scott Boris
wants for peace Alonzo, the Mets are saying, forget it,
that is way too much, or what we want. Cody Bellinger,
of course, the guy wants to get paid. He turned
(07:06):
down a twenty five million dollar option this year because
he finally had a good year and he knows I
can get paid someplace else. Let me ask you, do
you want to give Cody Bellinger one hundred and fifty
million dollars for one good year after he had three
bad ones? Of course not. But this is why you
get Scott Boris, because Boris is gonna make sure that
what happens is these guys get the money and they
(07:27):
want it, and it's not gonna come from their team.
Scott Boris knows the odds of them staying with their
teams are slim because it doesn't work for Scott Boryon.
Because this is the one part about Boris that that
you have to understand is true. If you re sign
with a team and it doesn't reset the market, that
does Scott Boris no good. It does him no good
because he wants to sit there and say, hey, look,
everybody who comes in gets the highest deal they could
(07:49):
get and there's no sweetheart deals. That doesn't make me
look good. But if he if I have a guy
who resigns with the team and gives him a little
bit of a hometown discount, kind of like Maximunsey did
with with the with the Dodgers, I mean Scott Boris
would faint dead away if that happen. He's not gonna
represent anybody and not gonna let anybody take those kind
of deals he wants. What can I say? What can
I put on my wall as Hey, you come to
(08:11):
me and i'm your and i'm your agent, I'm gonna
get you one of these deals. So the guys already
go to him knowing, yeah, whatever you get in me,
that's what I want. So Sagabye to Alonzo, sagodbye to Bellinger,
And at some point the pod is gonna have to
say goodbye to Wan Soto because unless they sign him
this offseason. And can you give another guy three hundred
or so or four hundred million dollars while you're paying
(08:33):
all these other guys three hundred or four hundred million.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
You can't do it. You can't do it.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You're paying Machado, you're paying, you be paying Sodo again,
you are paying Tatise, you're paying does all these guys.
You can't do it unless you're trading other guys away.
So understand that Juan Soto, hey, you're renting him for
a while, but it's gonna be a big deal somewhere.
And trust me, it's great to have to know that
Swan Sota is gonna be in the Padres lineup now.
(08:57):
But just watch if he can facilitate a trade from
another team, he's gonna broke her that deal. He's gonna
bro Hey, you know, the Padres, I don't know if
you have the money. Hey, Wan, they may not have
the money. I don't know if they do or not.
They're kind of dragging their feet. But maybe I can
get the Yankees interested, or I can get the Dodgers
interested or not. The Dodgers are not time the same thing,
but I could get the Mets interested. I'd get these
(09:17):
other teams interested. Yeah, yeah, let's go look at that.
And he will try to push that deal to happen
because a Wan Soto deal that resets the market, that's
what he wants. He's not getting a Wan so to
reset the market deal with San Diego because they can't
because you can't trade Tatisse, you can't trade Machad.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
What are you gonna do? Right?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I mean, the San Diego is not Steve Cohen. Even
Steve Cohen's not gonna pay that kind of money. So
anytime you see this and I see Boris talking, it's
like boom, Alonzo's gonna be on a new team, so
is Bellinger, and eventually Solo won Soto.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
That's how it goes.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Yeah, I mean he's looking to reset it's either the
total deal or the average per year.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Whatever the case may be.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
I mean the stats and breakdowns and comparisons that Boris
brings to the table with his squad or legendary right
that we've talked about for as long as we've been
doing this is you know, he doesn't have to be likable,
that's not his job. I do like the scenario you
set up of he's forcing guys, you know, chaining them
(10:12):
up to force them to sign a deal. You talk
about a kind of a mutant Celtic pride the way
that is, I'm kidnapping you and now we're gonna go
find a new deal.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Ready, let's go.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
So it's the this process is pretty basic. When it's
all said and done. We got a high power agent
who gets the most because they look, he's not one
to be trifled with, right, He's not a guy that
gms are coming in and they're gonna softball, like they're
getting right down to brass tacks, like there's no hey,
(10:48):
we'll exchange you know, pleasantries and bs offers like you
get you cut to the chase, and you get right
to it because he's all about all right on to
the next deal and onto the next bigger deal. And
I can't do that one until I get you and
hold you over a barrel here and here and here.
(11:10):
So for these three particular players, yeah, I mean they're
they're all in great positions. I like that he's joking
and and the one liners are good, they're almost burmanisms,
So that's good.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
But for Alonso, I mean, that's that's a great fit.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
But we've been hearing about trade rumors forever, right, especially
once they divested themselves of the pitchers. It was, well,
is he gonna go to before this is done? And
they didn't and they stayed the course. It's something that
you know, Sternsy and the Pope will have great reports
on as we go through.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
But oh no, and it'll be a trade where the
Mets will trade him to a team get what they
get back, and that new team is gonna sign Alonzo
to a big deal. He's not sticking around. Yeah, No,
the Mets aren't gonna lose him for nothing. It's gonna
be at some point, Hey, we're letting you go. We're
getting what we can.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Back, and your new team is going to sign you.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Hey, here's a deal, and Pete Lonza was now a
Minnesota twin and he's gonna be made whatever, whatever it's
gonna be.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
That's how the announcement goes.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
No, all all of it, and Bellinger I think depending Look,
it's all the Otani's piece of it. Is is really
the intriguing part or the cub's going to go full
on and spend like we talked about yesterday. You can
find the podcast wherever you download audio. We appreciate you
being part of the extended family here, Jason.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
You can't give Cody Bellinger all that, but especially nobody should,
but especially not Chicago Man. No one, good year the
guy had but stunk for the three before.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
No, forget it.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
But it's like the you know Corey Seeger going back
and having great success during the World Series run when
they played in Arlington, and then what did he do?
He went and hit thirty three oh five with like
seventy extra base hits in his home park This year
in leading the Rangers to a World Series title, Bellinger
(13:00):
hit like a madman in Wrigley Field. I think you
found a spot.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Now.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
It's just a matter of what's the dollars? Did it
make sense? And it's the whole show? Hey Otani thing?
Or are you going all in again? Drawing off of
the council conversation we had yesterday.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Exit, how about a Fresca exit?
Speaker 1 (13:19):

Mike Harmon live from the tire Rack dot Com studios.
And tonight in the NBA, Boy, we had a trifecta
of big time results and look none bigger than Victor
Webbin Yama coming into Madison Square Garden with some weak
ass crap and getting shown the door quickly by the
(14:58):
New York Knicks, who won by all one hundred tonight.
You don't bring that weak ass crap into MSG. He
may as well go back to Europe now he's done.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
He's done. You cannot handle Nick smoke.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
And that's what it's gonna be like, go back to
He may retire tonight, they may they may have retired.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Victor Webbinyana.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
See here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
You know, you're working from the Mobile tire Act dot
Com Fox Sports Radio shooting today. If we'd been in
the same room, I mean that, if you really sold
that to the camera that I'm staring at right now
you want to talk about hot take artistry and going.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Viral, that would be you on a whole other level.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
He may retire, this may be it like Lebron having that.
I may retire press. This may be Hey, listen, I
know I'm young, I'm starting out. I'm not even twenty
years old. But I can't compete with this lad. I
just walked into the most famous reen in the world.
Look what happened. Look what happened.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I'm a shell of my former self.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Just like that. Done done, done, done done that.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
You're calling for the guy to be out in the
end of his career before it even begins.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
He or he'll want to get traded to the next Look,
I don't want I want to be on the other
end of that, the.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
End of that beatdown that I just saw you.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I want to nick Nat Knicks, Knicks, Nicks, Knicks, nick Nick.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Next level stuff.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
I mean early in the show, as we got started
and that game was coming into its final throws. I
mean I can only imagine you dancing around and celebrating.
Since forty eight hours ago I watched you die a
little bit with each snap taken by Zach Wilson.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
Oh those weren't even snaps.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
I don't even know what to call him, you know,
time of possession at least, you know, they didn't have
much of it.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
They ran one great play which they should literally run
every damn play, the Wildcat, the breeze Hall.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
How do we get the ball in Breesehall's hands?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Well, let me tell you, yeah, it's gonna snap it
right to him, but he can't throw.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
It doesn't matter. It's better than giving it to Zach Wilson.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
But look, that was a big clearly, But I mean, look,
the Knicks win, It's expected, they're going to the finals.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Not a lot of drama there.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Wow, wow, I'm no, no.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
But let's get to another couple of games that deserve
a big breakdown, because we watched tonight something that was
just absolutely shocking. The Milwaukee Bucks were cruising against the
Detroit Pistons, because you know Milwaukee Detroit, you know, of
course Milwaukee's gonna be cruising. Well, they were up by
thirteen in the third quarter. Everything was great, and then
(17:25):
this happened to Jannis.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
Is his third block, He's gonna take.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
What nobody has. He just dunked it.
Speaker 10 (17:42):
From the look, I understand if he's he dunked the
ball and did what he's done a million different times,
and it's.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
What did he do?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And it's his second technical, so he's gonna have to
leave the game. ESPN on the Yannis goes in for
a dunk and gets tossed because he picks up his
second technical and a thirteen point Bucks lead turned into
a ten point Bucks deficit. Now the Bucks did rally
because Pistons go on a big eighteen to four run
(18:15):
to win the game. But this ejection on Yannis, well,
it's just abysmal. It's officials who say, hey, you came
to the game tonight to see me officiate. Yannis goes
in for the dunk and he dunks the ball, and
there's a couple of Pistons players waiting to inbound the ball.
Yannis comes down, he dunks it, he stops, he gives
(18:36):
a little bit of a yell, he turns, he puts
his hands down as he goes up the floor, and boom,
he is given a te and thrown out of the game.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
It's not egregious.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
He didn't get into another player's face, He didn't do
anything to embarrass another player. He dunked, he yelled, and
he turned to run back up the court and he
put his hands down and suddenly he's out of the game,
and it's like, are you kidding me? And if that's
not bad enough, he tried to go to talk to
the officials right after, who all wouldn't even talk to him, like, Hey,
what did I do?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
What did I do? Now he's not out of control.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
He's got Draymond Green standing on top of the scorer's
table going yeah, I'm out.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Everybody stand up.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, no, no, no. He went to say, hey, what happened?
What did I do?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
What did I do? Because you can see him going
why what did I do?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
And none of the officials would talk to him, and
they pushed him out of the way and said no.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
You're gone. Come on, man, I mean I don't understand
what this is.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
You wouldn't want to talk about NBA officiating and go
why are certain calls made? I would look at that
and go, what's that all about? What is that all about?
How do you throw the guy out of the game
for that? There's no reason to unless you have a
personal vendetta against Giannis. You came into the game knowing
I'm going to officiate a certain way and if Yannis
does something or something, I'm gonna throw him out of
the game.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
But this is just abysmal.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
This is where if you're Adam Silver, you have the
offic you give that phone call to Jannis to apologize,
and not only that, an apology phone calls not enough.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
You go to his house.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You go to his house and I don't care what
kind of family situation he's got, whether it's him all
his family, he can invite friends over, and you apologize
to him in front of everybody, because that's how bad
of a call that was, whether it's just a couple
of people he yan his house where he's having a
big party, apologize to everybody. Because I see that and
I go, what what are we really doing? What is
the NBA doing? What is NBA officiating doing? Do we
(20:20):
need to have some kind of of look into this
and why something like this would happen, because that there's
no way on any level why that should have been
his second technical and he's out of the game.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
There's none.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
Well, it gets down to do you think he stared
down Isaiah Stewart long enough? In that I don't know
what second way?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Too long?
Speaker 6 (20:42):
A long, long enough momentum was carrying him into and
through Isaiah Stewart, who went to challenge him, and they
got in under the basket, and I don't know, Yannis
flackstafftered the dunk that might have been a little scary,
might have been a little intimidating. Now, like this is
just another extension of our world of officiating. And it's
(21:05):
tough because it's, as we talked with Rick Buker earlier tonight,
tough gig right, trying to keep pace with these guys.
Certainly in the NFL we talk about it all the time,
which is why Jay Glazer's Special Forces Officiating Crew is
something I want to see implemented at least then a
trial run.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But guy got involved ready already.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Had a technical fall, and then we always say, well,
now you know you can't do anything. Well this did
he how much did he really do? There's not gonna
be any apology, and nor should there be, and like
it's a bad call. Life goes on. Now if you
want to do what the Lakers did, now you send
tape of this, and it's just we also included this
(21:46):
gift of Yanna shrugging his shoulders saying what the hell
man along with it, like the Lakers complaining about foul
calls that Lebron James isn't getting. We discussed that a
little bit last night. Too strong and whines a lot
probably the two reasons that really come back on Lebron
James A bunch is what we decided yesterday's show. But
(22:06):
with this thing with you, honest, yeah, it's it's egregious,
it's terrible. Let's officiate all emotion out of the NBA
games is really where this one came out to. The
guy was excited, he had a block and he went
the other way for a dunk, flexed and got tossed
from a game.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
And he didn't flex on a player. He didn't even
yelling at it.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I mean, you could argue that he kind of did too,
h but you can.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
See he's all the way on the right side of
the Pistons player and he's yelling like into the crowd.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I know, it's but it's perspective.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
And if you're an official that wants to make a
big play by the way, you know, let's let me
make sure.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
To get this out here for you, Jason.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
The fact that they went from being up as much
as they were to be in down ten. How soft
is that guy got kicked out? You're supposed to be
a championship contender. Oh man, they kicked him out. What
do we do now?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Man?
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Oh no, it's Detroit and now they're putting up forty
three in the third.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Dude, he let Detroit do that day they did.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
They put him forty three points in the third. I
mean they were selling after Janna has gotten kinked down.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Dude, I don't even know that he got thrown out
after he just put his hands down to run up
the court. I think he got thrown out just for yelling,
because I think by the time he turned and put
his hands down, he was already thrown out. Like I'm
trying to see when the official did the did the
you're out of the game, And I think he did
it right after it quick because as soon as Jannis
(23:37):
puts his hands down to run up for he looks
up and says, wait what, I'm out of the game.
So I think he dunked and just yelled for for
a half second, and that's what gets you out of
the game. I mean, come on, man, I mean you
know this is where I look at officials, and I go, uh,
the NBA needs to take hold of this because you
can't keep having this where the plit where it feels
(23:58):
like there are personal vendetta is against players and and
and the referees have this because you don't need any
more Scott Foster Chris Paul stories.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
You don't. You don't need them, you know.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I mean, it's not like the NFL, where you know,
does Jerome Boger have something against Tom Brady?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
You know, I don't know, but how often does he
do with Tom Brady game?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Right?
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Got Jerome? But some of them well because I was thinking,
you know, who throw who threw a lot of penalty?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, But but when you look at the NBA, yeah,
some of these officials see the same players much more
over the course of a season.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Right.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You know, if you do a if you do a
uh to a tongue of Iloa game or in Lamar
Jackson game or whatever, you know, chances are you're not
going to do that same game the next week. You're
gonna see that maybe one more time in the year.
And but when you but NBA, you see the same
players a lot, and maybe maybe that comes to it,
and there's officials who just for some reason go in
(24:53):
going I don't like this guy, and I go in
with an agenda that if he does whatever he does,
I didn't like what he did the last game, and
that stays in my head. But that's something that the
NBA has got to adjudicate this because I know you
don't want to take any powers away from the officials,
but when something like this happens, I need to see
the NBA say, hey, don't worry, we're on this. We're
going to look into this and see just why he
got thrown out. We're going to talk to the official,
(25:15):
and then we're gonna have most likely an apology. We'll
have a statement for you at some point coming up
soon right after this.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
Here's the letter of apology unofficial letterhead.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
We blew it.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
It's early November. Get over it.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
As far as that goes. Hopefully that apology goes to
Jannis very soon. The Lakers in the Rockets tonight, the
big Dylan Brooks revenge. Yeah, Lebron knocked the Grizzlies out
of the playoffs last.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Year all by himself because Dylan Brooks was locking up
Lebron James Jason. It didn't happen.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Yeah, the Lakers didn't play tonight.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Oh they didn't. Oh they canceled that game.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
Okay, they didn't play.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Well, here's a final call then, of whatever team the
Rockets played against tonight and how that game ended.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
That MS Sanchez gets hit the Borers locos.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Of Michael says on that call, it's not excited like
that on Thursday night.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
At Billy Mac.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
That is the verbal of equivalent of getting hit with
a chair.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
How did it go for the Rockets tonight? How did
it end? It ended? Kind of like it is?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Hey, Rockets swam.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
Final score tonight here for the Turner Center in downtown Houston,
Rockets one at twenty eight and the Los Angeles Lakers
ninety four.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Jason, I've been at this network for Marmy thirteen, fourteen years.
I've never heard of Rockets final call.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
No, well that's what it sounds like. They go hear
that again.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Please it was really good?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
It is, hey.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Good they won the championship.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Rockets Radio Network on the call. Look, the Rockets aren't
very good. They win this game and suddenly here are
the Lakers three and five, they lost five on the road,
and I'm here to zig where you think I'm gonna zag.
It's still fine for the Lakers. Everything is still fine.
They're still putting out a new lineup every night. They're
still trying to get healthy, and until that happens, this
(27:31):
is where the.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Lakers are gonna be.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I know what the Lakers thought was, We're gonna get
out to a decent start this year with all our players,
and we can keep the minutes down on Lebron and ad.
Oh by the way, no Anthony Davis for this game,
but instead the Lakers have had to play Lebron long
stretches in a couple of games, and now no Anthony
Davis tonight. He's already dinged up a little bit. It's
gonna be a little bit of time now. The goodness
(27:54):
for the Lakers is I would expect by the close
to the middle of the season, once they get healthy
and they figure out their rotations and all their players
get healthy.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
And come back, things are gonna be fine. Right.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
The Lakers are gonna find a way. Hatchimura will find
his way through other Austin Reeves will be much more
in his role and hit a lot of shots.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
You're gonna get.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
You're gonna get the the injured guys coming back, and
it's gonna be fine. It's just gonna take a little
while longer. So things are gonna be fine for the Lakers.
It's just gonna be instead of the beginning of the
season where hey, Lebron can take nights off play twenty
five minutes, it's gonna be more towards middle of the year,
and that's absolutely fine.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Look, Hotchimore even said.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
After tonight, it feels like every night we have a
trade because of the way the lineups are, Like how
crazy the lok like everyone who's a new guy I'm
playing with the coming off the bench, a new guy
coming back.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
So it's just gonna be a little bit. The Lakers
are fine.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I know they don't want to go through this early
in the season, but this is not me pressing the
Paddic button going off. Lakers are trouble Lakers. It's just
gonna be a case of it'll be a little bit
longer than it was expected, but things are gonna be
fine for the Lakers.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Funny that you get that quote from Hachimura, who had
twenty four and eight and turned to the court after
missing a couple of games. He went and saw specialists
and stuff after sustaining a concussion.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
So good to see.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
Him back on the court and excelling, uh in terms
of his tent for fourteen performance.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
But yeah, I'm not as as rosy and optimistic.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
You just got run off the court by the Rockets.
The Rockets now they are four and one at home.
That was a pretty sweet looking court.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
The Lakers.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
On Friday they begin their in season tournament play against
the Phoenix Suns, so we'll see what kind of monstrosity
the court becomes for that game. But you know how
much we love the nd season tournament. Our guy Frostburg
just in my ear going rumors about Caruso coming back,
and everybody's saying, hey, we need to make something happen, right,
(29:50):
we need a star, we need to make something happen.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Start, So it's Alex Caruso, you know, it's actually it's
actually David Caruso.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
You're going to get He's gonna be the play I.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Thought Austin Reeves was your third star.
Speaker 8 (30:02):
He's captain America's captain two.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
Nine minus twenty eight and is twenty six minutes of
work seven points on the board. But yeah, you're also
presuming a Lebron stays healthy and b Anthony Davis gets
healthy and then stays there. Both I think are losing propositions.
Frostburg that prediction or go ahead the Seahawks destroying Ravens
(30:29):
on the road. I can't believe you are sticking with that.
I think the football game wrong. He couldn't even give
a straight face. As soon as I started asking him,
he started laughing.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I don't understand. That's all night with you. I don't understand.
I don't get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
Iiither did anybody that listened to it.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
And I picked more games right, way more games right
than I figure out.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
I missed a game, It's okay, it happens. It's all right.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
Him a blowout. You didn't even take the points.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
Now, now, I'd be remiss. Wouldn't have helped me. I said,
I didn't need the points, and it wouldn't help.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Instead of.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
He bet that as a straight money line bet. So
there's there's no going back from that. But also also
we'd be remiss when we talk about the Lakers and
their struggles. The Clippers also are now zero and four
on the road.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
No Los Angeles team wins.
Speaker 7 (31:27):
On the How about that catch by Iron Eagle that yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Hey James hard he knows where to go with the ball,
and you know, I want to get into Iron Eagle
for a dunk.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
He had a lot of air yards.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
Thank you, we did, Iron Eagle caught Harden's pass.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Coming up next, we have a play of the night.
You have to hear to believe. That's next. Right here,
Jason and Mike, This is Fox.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon
got the play that might come in your.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Way in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
But a big takeaway from a big game tonight in
the NBA, the Nuggets.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
Hold off the Warriors one eight one five.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Good game.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
No Jamal Murray right, he's out for a month, doesn't matter.
The Nuggets still win at home. Yokich, who said he
was exhausted, goes for thirty five and thirteen rebounds and
five first I look, I mean, they're still a great team.
The Nuggets are eight and one. But but here's the
thing about the Warriors. The biggest thing they needed and
(32:38):
they knew going into this season, was we need to
make sure the support players around Steph and Clay and
to an extent, Raymond are better because they didn't get
they not get didn't get anything from their bench.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
They gotta make sure it's better.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
And now that Chris Paul has been coming off the
bench for a little bit, the second unit of the
Warriors is starting to score a lot of points. They
had forty two off the bench tonight. Everybody off the
bench was a plus. Everybody starting for the Warriors was
a minus. Now that Chris Paul is comfortable coming off
the bench, he's okay with doing it because he started
the first couple of games and Draymond came back and
(33:15):
he went back to the bench. But as long as
it goes like this, Chris Paul has to play twenty
twenty five minutes a night.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
He's extending his career. He's got a lot left in
the tank.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
And suddenly you're gonna see the Warriors be even more
dangerous than they were a year ago because they figured
out their support Because with Stephan Clay getting older and
Clay's not the same guy, they absolutely need this, and
so far they're getting it. They might wind up being
more dangerous than they were a year ago because they
figured out their bench.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Now, yeah, a.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Couple of things that go to it. I mean Draymond
he isn't playing yet, so you've gotten that, right, whatever
you think of him, there's so many things he does
on the court well to help facilitate on both ends
of the court. The other was, you know, and we
were talking with Rick Buker earlier and I texted you,
I go, all right, how much do we ask about
Jordan Poole in his list of hates? Does he get
(34:06):
in there? Because clearly his absence is making things flow
just a wee bit better there in the Bay Area,
So so that certainly flows as well. Yeah, positivity for
the Warriors. I don't think that's come out of your
mouth in a long time.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
I know, right, but call like I see it.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
That's the one thing that they needed their support players
because all their guys are getting older. Wiggins is not
going to score. He's a nice story to score the
you know, between seventeen and twenty two points a game,
but they needed more from their bench, and now they're
getting it. And now watch on yes, it's early. And
like I said, with Chris Paul, everything is great with
Chris Paul until you absolutely need him the most.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
But so far, so good. The Warriors figured out their bench.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
They're scoring a lot of points and that's nothing but
good telling me man, that's a that's a great, great thing,
right there.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Great game. That was a nice nightcap.
