before you get into the NBA, let me just say this.
I hate baseball. I hate baseball. I didn't think you're welcome,
was really I hate baseball. The attempt at cheeriness fell
flow for me. No, and especially I thought you'd be
a better active by now because I hate you just
because you're from Chicago and the Mets lose to the
(01:06):
Cubs on a final play where they gets they call
it wrong on the field and it gets stood up
bicy Caucus and now the Mets lose on a double play.
I'll throw out from left field and the hell of
a throw that was a hell of a real because
they hit like seventeen relay men to throw out Pede
a Lonzo tagging up from third. I hate you just
because you're from I hate the Cubs, doesn't matter. That's
what makes this difference. You are from not City. I
(01:27):
would pop your head right off right now. If I
put my thumb right in your neck and pop your
head off like it was a pez dispenser, that's pretty
cool and I would feel good.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
You could pull that off my hands. Why why isn't
that in more horror film?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I have the blood of arm Yeah you think Jason
Vorhees would have get to Michael suck my thumb right
to spy then yeah, like something really skinny the you
know out there, I mean someone really think like okay,
I could see him doing that with or maybe two
thumbs maybe two thumbs and H's two thumbs up and
then they stand there like it's Cisco and Ebert. I
could see it the second and he smiled and like,
look at this guy. Yeah, like he's got two thumbs
(01:59):
just too. Got this guy's head really really skinny with
a long neck, so would look it would feel real
like I got my hands around you. The thumbs in
and then the blood comes out and then boom, just
does what the thumbs and the head pops.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Off between the knick's loss and this. It's really a
rough twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
This is this is rough. This is rough, man, this
is rough. This is tough. I mean, we watched the
polar bear kind of bounce towards the uh if you
towards the plate as if he were in one of
the bears at the La Zoo. If you get thrown
out from left field on a fly ball and a
relay is what throws you out, you should not have
been running. That's that's my one thing, right that I
get it. But it was not a deeply hit fly ball.
(02:36):
McNeil did not do his job and he gets thrown
out on a double play that ends the bleeping game.
But it still looked like he was safe. Look, he
got his hand in before the tag went down. They
go to Sea Caucus and I say it like like
like I'm like, I'm Joe Peschick and Goodfellas at Sea
Caucus and what I'm doing, I'm sitting down, I'm doing
my nothing, my nothing in Sea Caucus and they go, hey,
uh yeah, it's it's upheld and it's a game. Oh
(03:01):
not knocking and he's out.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well he comes in, and I mean the the hand
does go up and then it becomes the well did
he is it instantane like simultaneous the hands slapping back
down on the plate versus the glove hitting him?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Does he get him slightly? Either way?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It was one or two frames right that you would
have to make the argument to overturn it, and they're
not going to overturn it.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I can't even speak. I'm so mad. I can't even
find the right word.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Stuff. What the hell did you just say on radio?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I know what do you mean about?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You say that? Yet?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
What about the thumbs in the in the neck and
want something?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
See something?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Wow? What did I say? I think it was Sea
Caucus or something. You can't be saying that yet. I
normally show it was, and it was actually it was.
It was Casino that that that's not not good, folks.
Casino where would say yes, I'm doing on Sea Caucus.
I'm doing my thinging Mike silent well the sea caucus, Yes,
silent l y And then you know the crazy thing
(03:58):
is okay. So it's a double play. A fly out
to left ends again the Mets was one nothing, A
Lonzo get thrown out of the plate, Carlos Mendoza comes out
to argue, and there's great audio. Yeah you don't get
audio with the manager forgot to cut his mind and
the umpire and you can hear we're gonna bring it
for you at some point because we got to get
it and clean it up a bit because Carlos Mendoza curses.
But you can hear Mendoza explaining what happened on the
(04:18):
play and there was blocking on the play and he
got his hand from his view right, and you hear
the umpires say, I'm not making that call. That's not me,
that's seacaucus. He's saying, I'm not making that call. They're
telling me whatever a you Yeah, you don't get us,
you don't you don't get that back and forth between
the only time we've ever seen this before was the
my Asses in the Jackpot thing with Harry Collins from
(04:39):
a couple of years ago. But you don't get that,
and you see back and forth. I didn't make the call.
It's not my call. They told me. They told me
he was out. He was out. Like, hey, I have
no responsibilities here whatsoever? One of the whole play umpire
that called the play to begin with, you made the
begin I got nothing to do.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
But I mean that's one of those things like, so
what did you exactly see right in in uh.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
The pool reporter, that's going to be the quest.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What did you see to actually make the initial out
call right catcher behind the plate, So the blocking is
not in effect because that's one of the first things
that you're looking for. Are they just going to rule
him safe because the catcher's set up too early? And
they said no, And that was affirm that was not
And like the verbiage that he used was terrible as well.
Blocking is confirmed.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Blocking as if there was no blocking. Wait, what the
blocking call is confirmed? There's no blocking, So there's there's
a confirm call of blocking in which there was no blocking.
There was no block. I hate baseball. I hate baseball.
It's only one of one sixty two, though, buddy, it's
a long season.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But then you throw the Knicks back on this and
I gotta I gotta lock on.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
No, I mean just because there was a two minute
report that confirmed what I said live as it happened, Right,
but I said it live. Look at me, big referee
over here in my big chair.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Look, we'll get to the Celtics winning in a couple
of minutes. We have to talk about that game at all.
There's no other series going on except the Knicks and
the Sixers. We told you that last night. The series
this is fun. People don't even know this game is
on television, so is it on the bet cast? Is
Actually According to the NBA's two minute report from Game
(06:10):
five of the game last night between the Knicks and
the Sixers, there are many things that could have happened
that should have been called that would have eliminated Tyrese
Maxie's heroics. First of all, the league said the referee
missed an easy travel on Maxie when he traveled for
his four point play with twenty five seconds left to go,
or Mitchell Robinson ridiculously foulshim. But I chose alive right,
(06:31):
he traveled and it should have been called. So you
have that. You also have the fact that in regulation,
when the Knicks went in for the game winning shot,
there should have been a half second left on the
clock from the tri and inbounds play, but they went
to overtime. Also, in overtime, Josh Hart was not out
of bounds with forty one seconds left to go. Tried
to say, talked about that as well. So all of
these things should have been good, should have been called.
(06:52):
All of these things may have knocked out the heroics
of Tyress Maxi, and the Knicks might have won the game.
But here's where I put my money where my mouth is, right.
I don't care. Okay, I don't care. I'm not gonna
sit here and say, oh see, had the referees called
that trout, real, I'm gonna sit here and say the
referee call a travel, they would have won. Really, had
they called the Josh Hart had the ball and knocked
it back in bounds with forty seconds left, the Knicks
(07:14):
would have won. The Knicks had so many chances to
win this game otherwise, And we didn't even get to
last night because it was so much controversy. The fact
that with fifteen seconds left down too Jalen Brunson throws
the ball out of bounds. Like, that's why what I
focus on. I don't care about this two minute report.
I'm not the Sixers where I want to go. Look,
if they had just called them foul and Max he
(07:36):
gotten the ball, we would have won. We don't want
to focused anything else that we did wrong. Into would
call the Sixers. Wanted to moan and complain about that
and say, oh, if you throw that one whistle all
look at this, and now we can't get people coming
to our games. And the New York fans are here
and they're buying all the tickets. Yeah, okay, you focus
on that, right. I see this two minute report. It's
too bad. It's too bad they didn't call these plays.
(07:57):
But I don't think back to say, oh, man, that
ball was inbounds. Josh Hart really had that ball was
in bounds, the Knicks would have won. Oh, Tyrese, MAXI
really traveled on that and they should have called it.
When are they gonna call traveling? I mean, seriously, I'm
not looking at any of these and saying, oh, the
referees took it away from us, right, I'm out there
saying the Knicks blew it. They got to get back
out tomorrow and win. And I'm ready for the game
(08:18):
right now. I don't want to wait twenty four hours
is bleeping game again. I want him to be out
there right now. But I'm not gonna sit back and say, oh,
it's the referees faull. And it's embarrassing for me that
the Sixers are still in this series when all they
want to do is wind and complain about things happening
to them, And here they are three to two and
they could probably want it winning tomorrow night, they'll probably
win Game seven. I'm a call in sick all week
(08:39):
next week, like it's not enough that I got to
sit here watch them complain about things and lose mental focus.
But I'm looking at the Knicks, going, how did they
blow this? That's all he did was keep when this
two minute report came out. I'm just reliving this. I'm
reliving again the final thirty seconds of regulation and overtime
when they had plays and they couldn't make them and
they couldn't win the game. That's what I look at. Sorry,
that's me. So when I say all the foulsand fouls
(09:02):
and fowls, no, no, that's not what that's not what
I'm saying. I'm not going to sit here and complain
and go, yeah, it got taken from us. All the
Sixers fans do that. Oh look at me. I'm better
than the Sixers fans. Look at me. He said that
I did get me. I'm better Sixers, Jason Smith. Greater
than seventy six ers. That's what it should be, you know,
not even equal to her, Greater than just straight greater
(09:22):
than I mean yesterday, you just you just complained and
got sick. I complained about the Nix, and you complained
about the Knicks, and you got really sad and despondent.
And when we did a four hour we played therapy session.
Had a lot of sad music last night. No, no,
I mean between Broadway Night and last night.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I mean really run the gamut and really expanded the
musical horizons of the show.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I told my daughters that we had Broadway Night the
other night. They were very excited, but they were would
you play? We played mas Garade, explained played from Phantom.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Well, my brother who's going with us to the Dublin
part of the European vacation. Later on, as the summer
game started, he goes, hey, did you figure out what
you're doing for London? And and Maddie goes, well, the
ABA thing and then Phantom and I go, well, you
know we use Phantom on the show.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
She goes, yeah, that was really cool. And my brother goes,
it doesn't sound like you're really excited to go see
fans because all right, so there you have. So yeah,
you got really sad fun tickets and try to sell
those tickets. No, they're actually pretty good seats and there's
really no obstruction. You want to go see Phantom in London?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Hey, hey, man, I got to the night before to
get a refund. My mind is only like ten bucks
a ticket. I'll have the insurance pal. I'll take the
money and quit. If this how do you how do
you know it's the euro?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
They say quid? What do they use? They just wanted
to say quid qui. But yeah, so psychologically it was
a very difficult night for you.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I thought we got you through, We got mild and
like you got to talk it out with him a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Because he was there. Yeah, No, psychologically he was dealing
with it.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Like he talked about walking his dog in the rain
and having all of the issues and cycling through that
he did. Yeah, and I thought we got you past
it now, and then this Mets thing just brought it
all back. No, no, but it just brought all those
It's like you know, you're having your acid reflux at
this point. All the bad taste from last night here
(11:15):
is back up in your throat. Here's how I get
even with the Mets. I say, all right, the next week,
I'm not buying any Mets gear. That's how I'm getting you.
Are you gonna get one of those batting helmets though?
I mean those are like them and the Yankees. They
did it right, those cool little City Connected.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Let me just say this, the City Connect helmet and
hats that the Mets have are awesome. The good the
jerseys they use tonight are terrible. The jerseys look like
if they had a baseball scene in Batman and they
shot a scene at Cityfield they needed a baseball team,
that would be the uniforms they'd be wearing in that
Semen Batman, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Pull up the scene where the Joker is on the
mound where they're playing baseball, and then he has the
spring loaded pitching rubber and gets out out of prison.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So I got to see how much those match up.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Maybe they were classic Batman's here if this he's a
romera freedom you.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Know, Batman Dark Knight Rises Again or Batman Gotham right whatever,
and there's a scene something like happened at City Field,
like that would be the uniforms the team would be wearing.
I mean we did that, and I mean that that's
the uniforms right there. We had it in Sharknado two.
But looks, I do want to say this because you
asked me about it. He said, you think we got
through it? You love Beef. I feel no, Come on,
(12:27):
what you were going to say? All he does is
every day show us what a dirty player he is. No,
I really am am no better today than I was yesterday.
I really am not because I figured, okay, today it's
a day off. It's cool, I can decompress before the
Knicks play tomorrow night, and everything all right, great, But no,
I felt no better today because of course everyone I
saw the replays and I got mad again, and I'm like,
you know what, because this is this is probably and
(12:47):
this is I mean, this shows that I'm still alive
and Knicks fans still alive.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
We're not dead.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Is that this is the worst Knicks loss in twenty
five years, like going back to the finals against the Spurs,
Like this is like the loss of key. You up
at night going how do we not close this out?
And to show you the lack of success and Knicks
have had. We're talking about a game in the first
round of the playoffs, but this is probably the most
frustrating worst loss of the last twenty five years. The
(13:12):
Knicks have had tonight, which shows hey, we're back. So
it's kind of good. Hey we're back in people care.
But still it's one of the worst. That's the worst
loss I had in twenty five years. Well, I mean
you did get your consolation McDonald's soda, which meant there
it was at least what did McDonald that went with it.
I did get McDonald's, Like, because you know, I'm driving
in and I'm sitting here going, okay, well, tomorrow night's
game six. We'll order pizza. I'll get pizza for everybody
(13:35):
tomorrow night because it's good pizza night. Maybe we'll do
it tonight. And then the Mets went out in the
eighth inning. Uh and they had second and third with
two outs with one out, and they couldn't get a
run across, and I said, screw it, I gotta go
to McDonald's. I'm sorry, Well, we'll do pizza tomorrow night,
but I need McDonald's right now.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, all's gonna work.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Now, looking at where we sit in the NBA playoffs
to night, we already watched the Boston Celtics close out
the Heat one eighteen eighty four Mavericks and the Clippers
big game five two point lead for the Mavericks right now,
about five minutes ago in the first quarter, Lucas said
before the game, still not one hundred percent, but I'm
gonna give it a go. Hey, it's the playoffs. So
(17:55):
this is where we sit right now, and before we
get it into a big story that I really want
to manifes something positive. There is is no series, right obviously,
the Knicks and the Sixers is every series no one
even cares about half the other ones. But this series,
fair point is you look at these are two teams
where the losing team is just gonna get jumped up
(18:16):
and down on right. Absolutely, But if the Clippers lose
this series, it's it's how many more years can you
go through almost being there with Kawhi and Paul George
and Kawhi is hurt and not playing, and if you're
the Mavericks. It's how come we're not any better year
six of Luca, Like, how come we're still a team
losing in the first round of the playoffs. He made
it to the to the conference finals once. That's great,
(18:37):
but you're not getting better. You're kind of up and down.
You're not a threat every year. So there's there's no
two teams that have more at stake as far as
their future than these two teams right here at least
look with the Knicks and the Sixers. If the Knicks lose,
all right, well, you know what, load up more for
next year. We're still great, young nucleus everything else. The Sixers,
A let's get more help for embid Maxi is really good.
We found we found him. He's another star. But there's
(18:59):
these two teams that's like, what do we do? Man, Like,
what do we do? Yeah? When you look at the Clippers,
the other thing you have to decide is, even if
you get out of this series, you've played better basketball
and moved the ball around more when Kwhi is not
on the court. So you've got the ultimate and conundrums like, oh,
he's a really good player. However, we could see how
(19:19):
the offense can stall at times, so got him. The
confusing thing with the Mavericks did a good job bringing
in Washington and Gafford as compliments, And obviously Kyrie Irvings
had a fantastic year and people were making the Luca
MVP argument off of the well, look, he was able
to control Kyrie. How about Kyrie grew up for the year.
(19:41):
Doesn't mean that you're gonna get the same result next year,
But for this year, he just decided to play basketball,
and all the past nonsense and injury issues and everything
melted away at least to this point in these here playoffs.
But to your point, yes, with the rest of the
Western Conference save the Lakers, seemingly on the come, it
(20:01):
becomes a very difficult spot to be in. Are you
actually gaining any ground? Like what do you need to do?
Like how much? How much do you need to be
able to say? All right, we have to have the
confidence to blow up what we're doing and sort of
reload on the fly, like we brought in Harden. We
did all these things, and Kawhi still can't stay healthy
and all right, we finally get Luca the number two
(20:22):
and Kyrie and he's played all year and still here
we are out in the first round. Like this is
this is some rubber meets the road kind heavy stuff,
life decisions that gotta get made. Here. Man, This's not
some idle Tuesday where the biggest thing is, Hey, do
we have pizza or chicken for dinner tonight? This is like,
hey man, what are the next four years? Is like
a night we decide we're going to college in the house.
What what's the next four years gonna hold for us?
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Shit?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Get her pizza, gotta dig that chicken her pizza. But
you've been watching Dairy Girls. That was an episode just
how funny with Derry so good Derry, I mean every
time I just real quick, if you've seen Derry Girls,
just every time James says something and all they do
is say, James, shut the blake up, jan He can't
(21:06):
even say a word. You're yelling at him to shut up. James.
I want this chin off with the Grandpa. Just give
me a whole series around him. Dairy Girls was it
ends a little weird. I will say it ends a
little weird, but it is hilarious all the way through.
I mean, one of the best comedies I've seen the
last five years girls is so funny. But you should
(21:28):
see the end of that Mets game. Oh you see
the end of the Lakers season. How about that. Let's
let's wine, let's look at that again.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
We're back next year.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Is Darwin Ham back, Darminhm back?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
He's back.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
There's been a lot of talk about what is now
next for the NBA because rights are coming up, and
we've heard reports in the last few days, a big
article on it in the New York Post today about
how hey TNT could lose the NBA. NBC is looking
to bid tons of money to potentially get the NBA back,
and they want to get back, and I'm sure they'll
(22:02):
have a bunch of games on Peacock and everything else,
but they really want it back. And we joked about
this when this story first came out the other night,
and we said, well, I want it for one reason specifically,
And now it's like mushroomed into we have to get
the NBA back on NBC so we can hear this.
I mean, it has nothing like round.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Ball Rock, one of Sadeika's finest moments on the line.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
That usually is it. It's a Pavlovian response. John Tesh
actually composed this owns the rights to it, and I
think they he actually reached out and said, yes, I
would license this back to the NBA on NBC if
they got it currently used in Fox College Basket, but
you know they licensed it out. But it's just, I mean,
(22:50):
I'm not for everything where hey, everything was so much
better in the old days, but just I mean for
but look at what the Last Dance brought back for
people a few years ago, the nineties. And Michael Jordan,
when you hear round Ball Rock, it just and I
want to bring Round Ball Rock back because I think
this might bring Marv Albert back Marv Albert and Maddy
Gukas says, I can't hear that song without thinking of
(23:12):
Marv Albert played again Tisher like you can't like you
hear the open and then I just expect to hear
and welcome inside Game three here at the United Center,
first round, the Bulls taking on the Knicks, the Surrey
side at one apiece. Marv Albert, Matt Gucus on the call,
A sensational crowd here today for Game three. Jason you ready?
(23:36):
Nineteen ninety three Game five Knicks Bulls fuck from three
(23:56):
foe on jord Of Kamara fifty there tak the thicks
worst fight bear. I don't even care about that. I
mean they got to hear mar here round ball, and
I just I just yet even even saying something like
and here we are welcome Game one of the Eastern
Conference quarterfinals, the Bulls hosting the Charlotte Hornets and Muggsy books.
(24:19):
Let's go to downstairs to find out the latest on
this one. We'll obey, what do you have? I mean, like, yeah,
will obey and nicely. I can't hear that song and
not expect to hear Marv Albert's voice. You're talking about
this the nineteen ninety three NBA Playoffs, to night Game
five of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Chicago Bulls
(24:42):
and the New York Names. It just brings you back
to that. He's like headline the treasure, yes, turning out
another capacitate crowd. The statue of Scottie Pippen has been erected,
but will they tear it to after his migraine and
the miss and the loss to the next as we
(25:04):
are here in the conference final. But one thing about
that open you knew when that hit, whether you were
on the West Coast or East Coast.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
You knew you were in for some real basket.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It was game time, and it was and whoever was
playing was a big deal. But that's the point is
that that's what you had. I didn't have all of
this other stuff, right, and it was that game. Unlike
the West Coast, you were getting Lakers Suns or SuperSonics.
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, bulls and somebody Lakers knicks,
somebodies or bulls and heat, Nixon heat, or you were
getting the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers
(25:35):
and Tim Duncan coming at you right now.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Well, but it's it's really hasn't changed a ton in
terms of national broadcasts, and so now it maybe expanded
to twelve teams, and we certainly see an inordinate number
of games featuring your Portland trail. They're like there were
national games that were appointment view.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
It was always a big deal. Like you could play it. Now,
it's still not going to make Magic Cavaliers happen. I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, Gretch. You could play it, but just the like,
what would you be what would it feel like to
hear that going into the Nick Sixers, right? Would it
feel like to hear or the Lakers and the Nuggets
especially playing it. I mean, I'm spinning around like he's
live at Red Rocks once again. I mean I get
(26:14):
the whole. Oh, this is something from the nineties, and
millennials don't know what it is, Isaac, but there's just
something this. Sometimes there are certain bits of music or
or a memory or a television show that just instantly
transport you to a time that was exciting and it
can still be exciting again. And this is one of
those things. Like you hear round Ball Rock and you know,
(26:35):
I'm not tuning in to see some kind of slap jack,
you know, the playoff game. I'm not gonna to say. Oh,
and here we are the Orlando Magic and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Here's Donovan Mitchell, who is really gonna get traded? And
Palla Bancaro. No one knows even what he looks like.
Even the average NBA fan. Is this one where they
(26:56):
get the rights back? Round Ball Rock is on the
A game, but Tesh is now contracted to come up
with something for the lesser game. No no, no, you can't.
You got to use something.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
No no, but you got to use something for when it
is on the bet cast or your TV will just
have the Bulls open ready, Yeah, Alan Parson's project, I
can do Doctor.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
That would mean we were actually in the playoffs. Beyond
the play in I'm going to use a philosophy of
doctor Gregory Allen, the Doctor John Parsons. I'll call it
the Alan Parsons Project. Uh, that is part four or
that is coming too. So everything old is new is surprise. Yeah,
oh boy, I gotta make siting. I missed that.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Layup smith you really miss that? Alliot?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
What did I miss You're supposed to tell Mike right there? Well,
that's how you know the game is going to suck
if they're playing the Bulls the Jason Smithson with the
Mike Carmen Live the tirec dot Com Studs. You're right,
I missed that. I'm still upset about the Next. I'm
not on my game. I don't feel like I'm on
my game. I feel like Next are going to miss Tomorrow.
I'm off my I can see the Knicks losing by third,
but you're gonna have pizza. No, but I will watch.
(27:57):
I will feel good. We're eating pizza and I hear
round Ball Rock throughout the show tomorrow night. There's no
guarantee of that. I mean, Tyshan's already been kind and
played it for He's probably just deleting it. He's gonna
be he may he may have just said it's done.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And I'm gonna want to hear it. I'm gonna want
to hear something great. I'm gonna want to hear and
welcome inside. Game six, the Portland Trailblazers from Rip City
take on the Los Angeles Lakers, with the births in
the NBA Finals on the line. Alongside me, the czar
of the Telestrader, Mike Frittello. What about Snapper? If we had,
oh Steve Snapper Jones on the play by play, like,
(28:31):
if we can, if we could come, may have hung
out with me in other venues. Oh, Marv Howry. I've
missed this song so much. I've not watched an NBA
game in twenty five years. Who are some of these
players there talking? They bring the double team? Who is
is Lebron Jay? Is Lebron James, some young guy that
just came into the league. They talk a lot about him,
(28:53):
an awful lot. Because I normally do games on the
PAC twelve late at night, and there's no more conference anymore.
I don't even know if some of the games are
really broadcast. I think maybe it's just closed circuit in
my house. I think he would talk for an hour
and a half about the sphere and seeing Dead and
Company at the Sphere and then going to see Fish
(29:14):
at the Sphere. I think that's all that Bill Walton
would have to add to the game right now. Any
sensational comment by Bill Walton coming up next? We'll have
basketball next here. Let's get rid of Bill and bring
in Steve Snapper Jones. I mean sprapball, right, Snapper Jones.
It just it's just one of those things where not
every song transports you back to a time. Not every
(29:36):
song does it, but certain things like that, I mean,
you just knew, you like when you hear when you
see a football game, you think about Pat summer All
and John Madden. You knew you were on a great
game and you know you're gonna get a great call, right.
You knew when Chick curn was calling the Laker games,
Vin Scully calling the Dodger games. When when I watch
the Mets and I get to see him nights I
don't work. When I get to hear you know the booth,
the you know the Mets, which is the best booth
(29:58):
in baseball. I know I'm going to get a great game.
It's it takes you back, and you know when they
play that NBN NBC, they could make almost anything look good. Again,
probably couldn't make the Magic and the Cavs happen, but
almost anything else they could make happen with round ballrock.
I like that this story pops today, right, it's mate first,
and to be serious for me, like we talked about
you know you and checking in on you and coming
(30:19):
off the knicks and now this Mets thing whatever, it
is the beginning of National Mental Health Awareness Month, right
of hey, just check in on your people. But music
like that, stories like that that bring you to a
time and a place and a positivity. Whether it's music
for me, it's that, it's cooking, it's live events, it's
sitting here yelling at you and mocking your squads as
(30:40):
you do so to me whatever else, But yeah, happier
times the league and the grand grand nature of those
games and just doing bad Marv Marv Albert impression. People
won't to.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Take you to a better But the Hornets were actually
good when that open was used.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Telling you, man, they were good. The men of Teal
are for real. They lead the next by six time
out with seven to go in the third quarter, Jr. Reid,
Ken O'Gill running around, Yick.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
And the morning.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Sure, yeah, and now, but this is like this is
like the fourth team. There's been like four teams in
and out of Charlotte since that. You're going to get
my way back to the mid to the mid nineties,
bringing it all the way back. The Jason Smith Show
with My best friend Mike Harmon live from the ti
rack dot com Studios. Coming up next, do we have
a big NFL story coming your way? Guess what team
(31:33):
is ready to embrace a quarterback derby this summer. It's
next right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
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 (31:48):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon.
Tell me, TJ, how does it feel? How does it feel? TJ? NBA?
Right now? Six and a half to go, Six and
a half to go before halftime and the Mavericks thanks
to a big first half by Markoguire, leave the Clippers
(32:10):
and Tom Tolbert forty one thirty five. You know, Cope
isn't here very often, so you don't really need to
kiss his ass by staying in the Marv Albert voice
and Marv Albert, it's one of my best impressions I've
I've been doing it. He told you that old No,
it's always been good. I remember doing it, doing my
Marv Alvet impression on NFL Network when I was hosting
(32:32):
Fantasy Live. Because we did a segment called with Authority
and it was like Burger King's things with a three.
I said, well, I'm gonna do my Marv Albert Is
it good? And I said, yes, with Authority? Oh, you
had to do it too it and I did it,
and we had Plaxico Bursts on the set with us,
and we're doing a whole thing with it, like who
is your pick this week for Fantasy? Who do you like?
With authority? And so it was so I was going
(32:52):
and then Plexig with Authority Chris Ivory one hundred and
twenty yards and a touchdown this week, Plexico Burst, how
about you with a spectacular update and he goes my
bick authority tries to up I like you, it was awesome. Okay,
I mean he couldn't out more of me, but you
know it worked. It's a good bit. But speaking of
(33:14):
the NFL, we'll have more NBA coming up in a bit. Yes,
Dallas leads the Clippers forty one thirty seven. James Harden
five three and six so far for the Clippers. Jacoby
Brissett said today he is very excited to battle Drake
May for the quarterback job with the Patriots. Right one
of the big, one of the big quarterbacks taken. Obviously,
there's gonna be a lot of talk. We're just gonna
(33:35):
like kind of repeat, rinse, release hey from this quarterback,
this quarterback, this quarterback. Let me just tell you this,
if you want Drake made to fail, you'll put him
in a quarterback derby. Okay, quarterback derby's with a first
round pick or a guy that needs to see the field.
Are stupid, they are? And if Drod May and I'm
giving advice to a team that I've watched beating me
(33:56):
for twenty years, so you know, you know, I think
this is the truth. Quarterback Derby for a rookie quarterback
in the first round can end so horribly, right, because
if you put a guy up there, you could say, okay, well, hey,
we're gonna have you battle a veteran for the job. Okay,
that's fine. But if he doesn't win the job, that's awful,
because then it's what's wrong with him. He couldn't beat
(34:18):
out the veteran. Is it because he's not ready? Is
it because he needs more seasoning? Just because he's not good?
And now there's whispers around him, and now there's a
lack of confidence he has that I couldn't beat out
a guy who's been a backup for a long time. Right,
Either you take your first round quarterback and you say
here's the keys, the job is yours. If he's ready,
he takes it, or you say, you know what you're
(34:39):
gonna sit, You're gonna wear, gonna go through summer camp,
and you are the number two quarterback and Brissette's gonna
take the lion's share of the snaps and we're gonna
see how things go. And if you show you're great, okay, hey, great,
well what we have decision to make here. But generally
that's what goes to work. You get a guy that
comes into the NFL as a first round pick very badly. Whoo,
you tell me you're not gonna start. We got a
guy ahead of you right now, and you can develop
(34:59):
that you your own pace. There's two ways to do
it right. You either give him the job, you had
him the keys, and say you're a guy like the
Bear's gonna do with Caleb Williams because I have no choice.
Hey Caleb, you're the guy, or you say you're the
backup right now, and then when he's ready, you annoint him.
But to put him in a derby, all it can
do is end badly. Because if it ends how you
hope it will end with him winning the job, well okay,
(35:21):
that's great, but it may not end that way. And
then you're stuck and you're stuck answering questions and you
don't know how it's gonna go. And now suddenly, well
the guy's ready. Now he wasn't ready in the summer,
but he's ready now. Week three, Week four, it's nothing
but headaches. The worst thing you could do for a
first round pick is put him in a quarterback there. Noh,
I mean you get into the questions of whether it's
a rig game when we start talking about true competitions, Man,
(35:42):
how many times have we seen it really play out
that way? I mean, go back to Flynn showing up
in Seattle and then Russell Wilson comes in and wins
the job.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Out right, all Flynn was the guy that was the
giant expenditure kind of like you know, a very distant
cousin to what you're seeing in Atlanta this year. But
when we look at what New England does, like if
Drake May doesn't win the job and then shrinks away,
well then you learn a lot about Drake May and
(36:12):
you know you were wrong right if he shrinks away,
like I always say, if the guy has to get
bench because he's not getting it or get set down
and you lose him, well you've never really had him
because the confidence.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Was always a bit shaky to that point. If that's
going to alter them long term, then you found out
a lot about that guy and his character and what
he's bringing to the table. Doesn't mean he can't go
succeed somewhere else. But for you didn't meet what you
were trying to set up, and you got a new
coaching staff so what are they gonna do. They're gonna
preach competition, and that's the question. Is it more lip
(36:46):
service than reality? I don't know. But if I'm Jacoby Pressett,
I'm doing everything I can. I get one more shot.
But you don't even want to give the person because
what if something doesn't go the way you expect. Remember,
you have to account and this is what so many
people and my wife is a huge person who subscribes.
It doesn't count for the unforeseen. You gotta to count
(37:08):
for unforeseen developments. You could say, this is a rig derby.
We expect Drake may to win it, but what if
he doesn't. The team knows who's playing well and who's not.
Suddenly you're gonna put a guy out there that's not ready,
and then suddenly the coach loses the team if he
does get all the first reps and he can't play.
So you're but now you just say, okay, you know what,
you're the backup and when you're ready you will listend.
(37:28):
But Jacoby Brissett's our guy, and you can convince and
everything works fine from that point out. The players get it,
coaches get it, quarterbacks get it. But you put him
in a derby, so many bad things can go wrong. Remember,
it's not all about the quarterback. Isn't that what coach said? Now,
what he said before they took a quarterback with the
third pick. I think that's what Jim Harbaugh is saying. Anyway,
coming up next, boy, do we have a big story

before you get into the NBA, let me just say this.
I hate baseball. I hate baseball. I didn't think you're welcome,
was really I hate baseball. The attempt at cheeriness fell
flow for me. No, and especially I thought you'd be
a better active by now because I hate you just
because you're from Chicago and the Mets lose to the
(01:06):
Cubs on a final play where they gets they call
it wrong on the field and it gets stood up
bicy Caucus and now the Mets lose on a double play.
I'll throw out from left field and the hell of
a throw that was a hell of a real because
they hit like seventeen relay men to throw out Pede
a Lonzo tagging up from third. I hate you just
because you're from I hate the Cubs, doesn't matter. That's
what makes this difference. You are from not City. I
(01:27):
would pop your head right off right now. If I
put my thumb right in your neck and pop your
head off like it was a pez dispenser, that's pretty
cool and I would feel good.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
You could pull that off my hands. Why why isn't
that in more horror film?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I have the blood of arm Yeah you think Jason
Vorhees would have get to Michael suck my thumb right
to spy then yeah, like something really skinny the you
know out there, I mean someone really think like okay,
I could see him doing that with or maybe two
thumbs maybe two thumbs and H's two thumbs up and
then they stand there like it's Cisco and Ebert. I
could see it the second and he smiled and like,
look at this guy. Yeah, like he's got two thumbs
(01:59):
just too. Got this guy's head really really skinny with
a long neck, so would look it would feel real
like I got my hands around you. The thumbs in
and then the blood comes out and then boom, just
does what the thumbs and the head pops.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Off between the knick's loss and this. It's really a
rough twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
This is this is rough. This is rough, man, this
is rough. This is tough. I mean, we watched the
polar bear kind of bounce towards the uh if you
towards the plate as if he were in one of
the bears at the La Zoo. If you get thrown
out from left field on a fly ball and a
relay is what throws you out, you should not have
been running. That's that's my one thing, right that I
get it. But it was not a deeply hit fly ball.
(02:36):
McNeil did not do his job and he gets thrown
out on a double play that ends the bleeping game.
But it still looked like he was safe. Look, he
got his hand in before the tag went down. They
go to Sea Caucus and I say it like like
like I'm like, I'm Joe Peschick and Goodfellas at Sea
Caucus and what I'm doing, I'm sitting down, I'm doing
my nothing, my nothing in Sea Caucus and they go, hey,
uh yeah, it's it's upheld and it's a game. Oh
(03:01):
not knocking and he's out.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well he comes in, and I mean the the hand
does go up and then it becomes the well did
he is it instantane like simultaneous the hands slapping back
down on the plate versus the glove hitting him?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Does he get him slightly? Either way?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It was one or two frames right that you would
have to make the argument to overturn it, and they're
not going to overturn it.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I can't even speak. I'm so mad. I can't even
find the right word.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Stuff. What the hell did you just say on radio?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I know what do you mean about?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You say that? Yet?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
What about the thumbs in the in the neck and
want something?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
See something?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Wow? What did I say? I think it was Sea
Caucus or something. You can't be saying that yet. I
normally show it was, and it was actually it was.
It was Casino that that that's not not good, folks.
Casino where would say yes, I'm doing on Sea Caucus.
I'm doing my thinging Mike silent well the sea caucus, Yes,
silent l y And then you know the crazy thing
(03:58):
is okay. So it's a double play. A fly out
to left ends again the Mets was one nothing, A
Lonzo get thrown out of the plate, Carlos Mendoza comes out
to argue, and there's great audio. Yeah you don't get
audio with the manager forgot to cut his mind and
the umpire and you can hear we're gonna bring it
for you at some point because we got to get
it and clean it up a bit because Carlos Mendoza curses.
But you can hear Mendoza explaining what happened on the
(04:18):
play and there was blocking on the play and he
got his hand from his view right, and you hear
the umpires say, I'm not making that call. That's not me,
that's seacaucus. He's saying, I'm not making that call. They're
telling me whatever a you Yeah, you don't get us,
you don't you don't get that back and forth between
the only time we've ever seen this before was the
my Asses in the Jackpot thing with Harry Collins from
(04:39):
a couple of years ago. But you don't get that,
and you see back and forth. I didn't make the call.
It's not my call. They told me. They told me
he was out. He was out. Like, hey, I have
no responsibilities here whatsoever? One of the whole play umpire
that called the play to begin with, you made the
begin I got nothing to do.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
But I mean that's one of those things like, so
what did you exactly see right in in uh.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
The pool reporter, that's going to be the quest.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What did you see to actually make the initial out
call right catcher behind the plate, So the blocking is
not in effect because that's one of the first things
that you're looking for. Are they just going to rule
him safe because the catcher's set up too early? And
they said no, And that was affirm that was not
And like the verbiage that he used was terrible as well.
Blocking is confirmed.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Blocking as if there was no blocking. Wait, what the
blocking call is confirmed? There's no blocking, So there's there's
a confirm call of blocking in which there was no blocking.
There was no block. I hate baseball. I hate baseball.
It's only one of one sixty two, though, buddy, it's
a long season.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But then you throw the Knicks back on this and
I gotta I gotta lock on.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
No, I mean just because there was a two minute
report that confirmed what I said live as it happened, Right,
but I said it live. Look at me, big referee
over here in my big chair.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Look, we'll get to the Celtics winning in a couple
of minutes. We have to talk about that game at all.
There's no other series going on except the Knicks and
the Sixers. We told you that last night. The series
this is fun. People don't even know this game is
on television, so is it on the bet cast? Is
Actually According to the NBA's two minute report from Game
(06:10):
five of the game last night between the Knicks and
the Sixers, there are many things that could have happened
that should have been called that would have eliminated Tyrese
Maxie's heroics. First of all, the league said the referee
missed an easy travel on Maxie when he traveled for
his four point play with twenty five seconds left to go,
or Mitchell Robinson ridiculously foulshim. But I chose alive right,
(06:31):
he traveled and it should have been called. So you
have that. You also have the fact that in regulation,
when the Knicks went in for the game winning shot,
there should have been a half second left on the
clock from the tri and inbounds play, but they went
to overtime. Also, in overtime, Josh Hart was not out
of bounds with forty one seconds left to go. Tried
to say, talked about that as well. So all of
these things should have been good, should have been called.
(06:52):
All of these things may have knocked out the heroics
of Tyress Maxi, and the Knicks might have won the game.
But here's where I put my money where my mouth is, right.
I don't care. Okay, I don't care. I'm not gonna
sit here and say, oh see, had the referees called
that trout, real, I'm gonna sit here and say the
referee call a travel, they would have won. Really, had
they called the Josh Hart had the ball and knocked
it back in bounds with forty seconds left, the Knicks
(07:14):
would have won. The Knicks had so many chances to
win this game otherwise, And we didn't even get to
last night because it was so much controversy. The fact
that with fifteen seconds left down too Jalen Brunson throws
the ball out of bounds. Like, that's why what I
focus on. I don't care about this two minute report.
I'm not the Sixers where I want to go. Look,
if they had just called them foul and Max he
(07:36):
gotten the ball, we would have won. We don't want
to focused anything else that we did wrong. Into would
call the Sixers. Wanted to moan and complain about that
and say, oh, if you throw that one whistle all
look at this, and now we can't get people coming
to our games. And the New York fans are here
and they're buying all the tickets. Yeah, okay, you focus
on that, right. I see this two minute report. It's
too bad. It's too bad they didn't call these plays.
(07:57):
But I don't think back to say, oh, man, that
ball was inbounds. Josh Hart really had that ball was
in bounds, the Knicks would have won. Oh, Tyrese, MAXI
really traveled on that and they should have called it.
When are they gonna call traveling? I mean, seriously, I'm
not looking at any of these and saying, oh, the
referees took it away from us, right, I'm out there
saying the Knicks blew it. They got to get back
out tomorrow and win. And I'm ready for the game
(08:18):
right now. I don't want to wait twenty four hours
is bleeping game again. I want him to be out
there right now. But I'm not gonna sit back and say, oh,
it's the referees faull. And it's embarrassing for me that
the Sixers are still in this series when all they
want to do is wind and complain about things happening
to them, And here they are three to two and
they could probably want it winning tomorrow night, they'll probably
win Game seven. I'm a call in sick all week
(08:39):
next week, like it's not enough that I got to
sit here watch them complain about things and lose mental focus.
But I'm looking at the Knicks, going, how did they
blow this? That's all he did was keep when this
two minute report came out. I'm just reliving this. I'm
reliving again the final thirty seconds of regulation and overtime
when they had plays and they couldn't make them and
they couldn't win the game. That's what I look at. Sorry,
that's me. So when I say all the foulsand fouls
(09:02):
and fowls, no, no, that's not what that's not what
I'm saying. I'm not going to sit here and complain
and go, yeah, it got taken from us. All the
Sixers fans do that. Oh look at me. I'm better
than the Sixers fans. Look at me. He said that
I did get me. I'm better Sixers, Jason Smith. Greater
than seventy six ers. That's what it should be, you know,
not even equal to her, Greater than just straight greater
(09:22):
than I mean yesterday, you just you just complained and
got sick. I complained about the Nix, and you complained
about the Knicks, and you got really sad and despondent.
And when we did a four hour we played therapy session.
Had a lot of sad music last night. No, no,
I mean between Broadway Night and last night.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I mean really run the gamut and really expanded the
musical horizons of the show.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I told my daughters that we had Broadway Night the
other night. They were very excited, but they were would
you play? We played mas Garade, explained played from Phantom.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Well, my brother who's going with us to the Dublin
part of the European vacation. Later on, as the summer
game started, he goes, hey, did you figure out what
you're doing for London? And and Maddie goes, well, the
ABA thing and then Phantom and I go, well, you
know we use Phantom on the show.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
She goes, yeah, that was really cool. And my brother goes,
it doesn't sound like you're really excited to go see
fans because all right, so there you have. So yeah,
you got really sad fun tickets and try to sell
those tickets. No, they're actually pretty good seats and there's
really no obstruction. You want to go see Phantom in London?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Hey, hey, man, I got to the night before to
get a refund. My mind is only like ten bucks
a ticket. I'll have the insurance pal. I'll take the
money and quit. If this how do you how do
you know it's the euro?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
They say quid? What do they use? They just wanted
to say quid qui. But yeah, so psychologically it was
a very difficult night for you.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I thought we got you through, We got mild and
like you got to talk it out with him a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Because he was there. Yeah, No, psychologically he was dealing
with it.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Like he talked about walking his dog in the rain
and having all of the issues and cycling through that
he did. Yeah, and I thought we got you past
it now, and then this Mets thing just brought it
all back. No, no, but it just brought all those
It's like you know, you're having your acid reflux at
this point. All the bad taste from last night here
(11:15):
is back up in your throat. Here's how I get
even with the Mets. I say, all right, the next week,
I'm not buying any Mets gear. That's how I'm getting you.
Are you gonna get one of those batting helmets though?
I mean those are like them and the Yankees. They
did it right, those cool little City Connected.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Let me just say this, the City Connect helmet and
hats that the Mets have are awesome. The good the
jerseys they use tonight are terrible. The jerseys look like
if they had a baseball scene in Batman and they
shot a scene at Cityfield they needed a baseball team,
that would be the uniforms they'd be wearing in that
Semen Batman, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Pull up the scene where the Joker is on the
mound where they're playing baseball, and then he has the
spring loaded pitching rubber and gets out out of prison.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
So I got to see how much those match up.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Maybe they were classic Batman's here if this he's a
romera freedom you.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Know, Batman Dark Knight Rises Again or Batman Gotham right whatever,
and there's a scene something like happened at City Field,
like that would be the uniforms the team would be wearing.
I mean we did that, and I mean that that's
the uniforms right there. We had it in Sharknado two.
But looks, I do want to say this because you
asked me about it. He said, you think we got
through it? You love Beef. I feel no, Come on,
(12:27):
what you were going to say? All he does is
every day show us what a dirty player he is. No,
I really am am no better today than I was yesterday.
I really am not because I figured, okay, today it's
a day off. It's cool, I can decompress before the
Knicks play tomorrow night, and everything all right, great, But no,
I felt no better today because of course everyone I
saw the replays and I got mad again, and I'm like,
you know what, because this is this is probably and
(12:47):
this is I mean, this shows that I'm still alive
and Knicks fans still alive.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
We're not dead.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Is that this is the worst Knicks loss in twenty
five years, like going back to the finals against the Spurs,
Like this is like the loss of key. You up
at night going how do we not close this out?
And to show you the lack of success and Knicks
have had. We're talking about a game in the first
round of the playoffs, but this is probably the most
frustrating worst loss of the last twenty five years. The
(13:12):
Knicks have had tonight, which shows hey, we're back. So
it's kind of good. Hey we're back in people care.
But still it's one of the worst. That's the worst
loss I had in twenty five years. Well, I mean
you did get your consolation McDonald's soda, which meant there
it was at least what did McDonald that went with it.
I did get McDonald's, Like, because you know, I'm driving
in and I'm sitting here going, okay, well, tomorrow night's
game six. We'll order pizza. I'll get pizza for everybody
(13:35):
tomorrow night because it's good pizza night. Maybe we'll do
it tonight. And then the Mets went out in the
eighth inning. Uh and they had second and third with
two outs with one out, and they couldn't get a
run across, and I said, screw it, I gotta go
to McDonald's. I'm sorry, Well, we'll do pizza tomorrow night,
but I need McDonald's right now.

You're the best.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, all's gonna work.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Now, looking at where we sit in the NBA playoffs
to night, we already watched the Boston Celtics close out
the Heat one eighteen eighty four Mavericks and the Clippers
big game five two point lead for the Mavericks right now,
about five minutes ago in the first quarter, Lucas said
before the game, still not one hundred percent, but I'm
gonna give it a go. Hey, it's the playoffs. So
(17:55):
this is where we sit right now, and before we
get it into a big story that I really want
to manifes something positive. There is is no series, right obviously,
the Knicks and the Sixers is every series no one
even cares about half the other ones. But this series,
fair point is you look at these are two teams
where the losing team is just gonna get jumped up
(18:16):
and down on right. Absolutely, But if the Clippers lose
this series, it's it's how many more years can you
go through almost being there with Kawhi and Paul George
and Kawhi is hurt and not playing, and if you're
the Mavericks. It's how come we're not any better year
six of Luca, Like, how come we're still a team
losing in the first round of the playoffs. He made
it to the to the conference finals once. That's great,
(18:37):
but you're not getting better. You're kind of up and down.
You're not a threat every year. So there's there's no
two teams that have more at stake as far as
their future than these two teams right here at least
look with the Knicks and the Sixers. If the Knicks lose,
all right, well, you know what, load up more for
next year. We're still great, young nucleus everything else. The Sixers,
A let's get more help for embid Maxi is really good.
We found we found him. He's another star. But there's
(18:59):
these two teams that's like, what do we do? Man, Like,
what do we do? Yeah? When you look at the Clippers,
the other thing you have to decide is, even if
you get out of this series, you've played better basketball
and moved the ball around more when Kwhi is not
on the court. So you've got the ultimate and conundrums like, oh,
he's a really good player. However, we could see how
(19:19):
the offense can stall at times, so got him. The
confusing thing with the Mavericks did a good job bringing
in Washington and Gafford as compliments, And obviously Kyrie Irvings
had a fantastic year and people were making the Luca
MVP argument off of the well, look, he was able
to control Kyrie. How about Kyrie grew up for the year.
(19:41):
Doesn't mean that you're gonna get the same result next year,
But for this year, he just decided to play basketball,
and all the past nonsense and injury issues and everything
melted away at least to this point in these here playoffs.
But to your point, yes, with the rest of the
Western Conference save the Lakers, seemingly on the come, it
(20:01):
becomes a very difficult spot to be in. Are you
actually gaining any ground? Like what do you need to do?
Like how much? How much do you need to be
able to say? All right, we have to have the
confidence to blow up what we're doing and sort of
reload on the fly, like we brought in Harden. We
did all these things, and Kawhi still can't stay healthy
and all right, we finally get Luca the number two
(20:22):
and Kyrie and he's played all year and still here
we are out in the first round. Like this is
this is some rubber meets the road kind heavy stuff,
life decisions that gotta get made. Here. Man, This's not
some idle Tuesday where the biggest thing is, Hey, do
we have pizza or chicken for dinner tonight? This is like,
hey man, what are the next four years? Is like
a night we decide we're going to college in the house.
What what's the next four years gonna hold for us?
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Shit?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Get her pizza, gotta dig that chicken her pizza. But
you've been watching Dairy Girls. That was an episode just
how funny with Derry so good Derry, I mean every
time I just real quick, if you've seen Derry Girls,
just every time James says something and all they do
is say, James, shut the blake up, jan He can't
(21:06):
even say a word. You're yelling at him to shut up. James.
I want this chin off with the Grandpa. Just give
me a whole series around him. Dairy Girls was it
ends a little weird. I will say it ends a
little weird, but it is hilarious all the way through.
I mean, one of the best comedies I've seen the
last five years girls is so funny. But you should
(21:28):
see the end of that Mets game. Oh you see
the end of the Lakers season. How about that. Let's
let's wine, let's look at that again.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
We're back next year.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Is Darwin Ham back, Darminhm back?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
He's back.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
There's been a lot of talk about what is now
next for the NBA because rights are coming up, and
we've heard reports in the last few days, a big
article on it in the New York Post today about
how hey TNT could lose the NBA. NBC is looking
to bid tons of money to potentially get the NBA back,
and they want to get back, and I'm sure they'll
(22:02):
have a bunch of games on Peacock and everything else,
but they really want it back. And we joked about
this when this story first came out the other night,
and we said, well, I want it for one reason specifically,
And now it's like mushroomed into we have to get
the NBA back on NBC so we can hear this.
I mean, it has nothing like round.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Ball Rock, one of Sadeika's finest moments on the line.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
That usually is it. It's a Pavlovian response. John Tesh
actually composed this owns the rights to it, and I
think they he actually reached out and said, yes, I
would license this back to the NBA on NBC if
they got it currently used in Fox College Basket, but
you know they licensed it out. But it's just, I mean,
(22:50):
I'm not for everything where hey, everything was so much
better in the old days, but just I mean for
but look at what the Last Dance brought back for
people a few years ago, the nineties. And Michael Jordan,
when you hear round Ball Rock, it just and I
want to bring Round Ball Rock back because I think
this might bring Marv Albert back Marv Albert and Maddy
Gukas says, I can't hear that song without thinking of
(23:12):
Marv Albert played again Tisher like you can't like you
hear the open and then I just expect to hear
and welcome inside Game three here at the United Center,
first round, the Bulls taking on the Knicks, the Surrey
side at one apiece. Marv Albert, Matt Gucus on the call,
A sensational crowd here today for Game three. Jason you ready?
(23:36):
Nineteen ninety three Game five Knicks Bulls fuck from three
(23:56):
foe on jord Of Kamara fifty there tak the thicks
worst fight bear. I don't even care about that. I
mean they got to hear mar here round ball, and
I just I just yet even even saying something like
and here we are welcome Game one of the Eastern
Conference quarterfinals, the Bulls hosting the Charlotte Hornets and Muggsy books.
(24:19):
Let's go to downstairs to find out the latest on
this one. We'll obey, what do you have? I mean, like, yeah,
will obey and nicely. I can't hear that song and
not expect to hear Marv Albert's voice. You're talking about
this the nineteen ninety three NBA Playoffs, to night Game
five of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Chicago Bulls
(24:42):
and the New York Names. It just brings you back
to that. He's like headline the treasure, yes, turning out
another capacitate crowd. The statue of Scottie Pippen has been erected,
but will they tear it to after his migraine and
the miss and the loss to the next as we
(25:04):
are here in the conference final. But one thing about
that open you knew when that hit, whether you were
on the West Coast or East Coast.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
You knew you were in for some real basket.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It was game time, and it was and whoever was
playing was a big deal. But that's the point is
that that's what you had. I didn't have all of
this other stuff, right, and it was that game. Unlike
the West Coast, you were getting Lakers Suns or SuperSonics.
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, bulls and somebody Lakers knicks,
somebodies or bulls and heat, Nixon heat, or you were
getting the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers
(25:35):
and Tim Duncan coming at you right now.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Well, but it's it's really hasn't changed a ton in
terms of national broadcasts, and so now it maybe expanded
to twelve teams, and we certainly see an inordinate number
of games featuring your Portland trail. They're like there were
national games that were appointment view.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
It was always a big deal. Like you could play it. Now,
it's still not going to make Magic Cavaliers happen. I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, Gretch. You could play it, but just the like,
what would you be what would it feel like to
hear that going into the Nick Sixers, right? Would it
feel like to hear or the Lakers and the Nuggets
especially playing it. I mean, I'm spinning around like he's
live at Red Rocks once again. I mean I get
(26:14):
the whole. Oh, this is something from the nineties, and
millennials don't know what it is, Isaac, but there's just
something this. Sometimes there are certain bits of music or
or a memory or a television show that just instantly
transport you to a time that was exciting and it
can still be exciting again. And this is one of
those things. Like you hear round Ball Rock and you know,
(26:35):
I'm not tuning in to see some kind of slap jack,
you know, the playoff game. I'm not gonna to say. Oh,
and here we are the Orlando Magic and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Here's Donovan Mitchell, who is really gonna get traded? And
Palla Bancaro. No one knows even what he looks like.
Even the average NBA fan. Is this one where they
(26:56):
get the rights back? Round Ball Rock is on the
A game, but Tesh is now contracted to come up
with something for the lesser game. No no, no, you can't.
You got to use something.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
No no, but you got to use something for when it
is on the bet cast or your TV will just
have the Bulls open ready, Yeah, Alan Parson's project, I
can do Doctor.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
That would mean we were actually in the playoffs. Beyond
the play in I'm going to use a philosophy of
doctor Gregory Allen, the Doctor John Parsons. I'll call it
the Alan Parsons Project. Uh, that is part four or
that is coming too. So everything old is new is surprise. Yeah,
oh boy, I gotta make siting. I missed that.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Layup smith you really miss that? Alliot?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
What did I miss You're supposed to tell Mike right there? Well,
that's how you know the game is going to suck
if they're playing the Bulls the Jason Smithson with the
Mike Carmen Live the tirec dot Com Studs. You're right,
I missed that. I'm still upset about the Next. I'm
not on my game. I don't feel like I'm on
my game. I feel like Next are going to miss Tomorrow.
I'm off my I can see the Knicks losing by third,
but you're gonna have pizza. No, but I will watch.
(27:57):
I will feel good. We're eating pizza and I hear
round Ball Rock throughout the show tomorrow night. There's no
guarantee of that. I mean, Tyshan's already been kind and
played it for He's probably just deleting it. He's gonna
be he may he may have just said it's done.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And I'm gonna want to hear it. I'm gonna want
to hear something great. I'm gonna want to hear and
welcome inside. Game six, the Portland Trailblazers from Rip City
take on the Los Angeles Lakers, with the births in
the NBA Finals on the line. Alongside me, the czar
of the Telestrader, Mike Frittello. What about Snapper? If we had,
oh Steve Snapper Jones on the play by play, like,
(28:31):
if we can, if we could come, may have hung
out with me in other venues. Oh, Marv Howry. I've
missed this song so much. I've not watched an NBA
game in twenty five years. Who are some of these
players there talking? They bring the double team? Who is
is Lebron Jay? Is Lebron James, some young guy that
just came into the league. They talk a lot about him,
(28:53):
an awful lot. Because I normally do games on the
PAC twelve late at night, and there's no more conference anymore.
I don't even know if some of the games are
really broadcast. I think maybe it's just closed circuit in
my house. I think he would talk for an hour
and a half about the sphere and seeing Dead and
Company at the Sphere and then going to see Fish
(29:14):
at the Sphere. I think that's all that Bill Walton
would have to add to the game right now. Any
sensational comment by Bill Walton coming up next? We'll have
basketball next here. Let's get rid of Bill and bring
in Steve Snapper Jones. I mean sprapball, right, Snapper Jones.
It just it's just one of those things where not
every song transports you back to a time. Not every
(29:36):
song does it, but certain things like that, I mean,
you just knew, you like when you hear when you
see a football game, you think about Pat summer All
and John Madden. You knew you were on a great
game and you know you're gonna get a great call, right.
You knew when Chick curn was calling the Laker games,
Vin Scully calling the Dodger games. When when I watch
the Mets and I get to see him nights I
don't work. When I get to hear you know the booth,
the you know the Mets, which is the best booth
(29:58):
in baseball. I know I'm going to get a great game.
It's it takes you back, and you know when they
play that NBN NBC, they could make almost anything look good. Again,
probably couldn't make the Magic and the Cavs happen, but
almost anything else they could make happen with round ballrock.
I like that this story pops today, right, it's mate first,
and to be serious for me, like we talked about
you know you and checking in on you and coming
(30:19):
off the knicks and now this Mets thing whatever, it
is the beginning of National Mental Health Awareness Month, right
of hey, just check in on your people. But music
like that, stories like that that bring you to a
time and a place and a positivity. Whether it's music
for me, it's that, it's cooking, it's live events, it's
sitting here yelling at you and mocking your squads as
(30:40):
you do so to me whatever else, But yeah, happier
times the league and the grand grand nature of those
games and just doing bad Marv Marv Albert impression. People
won't to.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Take you to a better But the Hornets were actually
good when that open was used.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Telling you, man, they were good. The men of Teal
are for real. They lead the next by six time
out with seven to go in the third quarter, Jr. Reid,
Ken O'Gill running around, Yick.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
And the morning.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Sure, yeah, and now, but this is like this is
like the fourth team. There's been like four teams in
and out of Charlotte since that. You're going to get
my way back to the mid to the mid nineties,
bringing it all the way back. The Jason Smith Show
with My best friend Mike Harmon live from the ti
rack dot com Studios. Coming up next, do we have
a big NFL story coming your way? Guess what team
(31:33):
is ready to embrace a quarterback derby this summer. It's

Speaker 1 (31:48):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon.
Tell me, TJ, how does it feel? How does it feel? TJ? NBA?
Right now? Six and a half to go, Six and
a half to go before halftime and the Mavericks thanks
to a big first half by Markoguire, leave the Clippers
(32:10):
and Tom Tolbert forty one thirty five. You know, Cope
isn't here very often, so you don't really need to
kiss his ass by staying in the Marv Albert voice
and Marv Albert, it's one of my best impressions I've
I've been doing it. He told you that old No,
it's always been good. I remember doing it, doing my
Marv Alvet impression on NFL Network when I was hosting
(32:32):
Fantasy Live. Because we did a segment called with Authority
and it was like Burger King's things with a three.
I said, well, I'm gonna do my Marv Albert Is
it good? And I said, yes, with Authority? Oh, you
had to do it too it and I did it,
and we had Plaxico Bursts on the set with us,
and we're doing a whole thing with it, like who
is your pick this week for Fantasy? Who do you like?
With authority? And so it was so I was going
(32:52):
and then Plexig with Authority Chris Ivory one hundred and
twenty yards and a touchdown this week, Plexico Burst, how
about you with a spectacular update and he goes my
bick authority tries to up I like you, it was awesome. Okay,
I mean he couldn't out more of me, but you
know it worked. It's a good bit. But speaking of
(33:14):
the NFL, we'll have more NBA coming up in a bit. Yes,
Dallas leads the Clippers forty one thirty seven. James Harden
five three and six so far for the Clippers. Jacoby
Brissett said today he is very excited to battle Drake
May for the quarterback job with the Patriots. Right one
of the big, one of the big quarterbacks taken. Obviously,
there's gonna be a lot of talk. We're just gonna
(33:35):
like kind of repeat, rinse, release hey from this quarterback,
this quarterback, this quarterback. Let me just tell you this,
if you want Drake made to fail, you'll put him
in a quarterback derby. Okay, quarterback derby's with a first
round pick or a guy that needs to see the field.
Are stupid, they are? And if Drod May and I'm
giving advice to a team that I've watched beating me
(33:56):
for twenty years, so you know, you know, I think
this is the truth. Quarterback Derby for a rookie quarterback
in the first round can end so horribly, right, because
if you put a guy up there, you could say, okay, well, hey,
we're gonna have you battle a veteran for the job. Okay,
that's fine. But if he doesn't win the job, that's awful,
because then it's what's wrong with him. He couldn't beat
(34:18):
out the veteran. Is it because he's not ready? Is
it because he needs more seasoning? Just because he's not good?
And now there's whispers around him, and now there's a
lack of confidence he has that I couldn't beat out
a guy who's been a backup for a long time. Right,
Either you take your first round quarterback and you say
here's the keys, the job is yours. If he's ready,
he takes it, or you say, you know what you're
(34:39):
gonna sit, You're gonna wear, gonna go through summer camp,
and you are the number two quarterback and Brissette's gonna
take the lion's share of the snaps and we're gonna
see how things go. And if you show you're great, okay, hey, great,
well what we have decision to make here. But generally
that's what goes to work. You get a guy that
comes into the NFL as a first round pick very badly. Whoo,
you tell me you're not gonna start. We got a
guy ahead of you right now, and you can develop
(34:59):
that you your own pace. There's two ways to do
it right. You either give him the job, you had
him the keys, and say you're a guy like the
Bear's gonna do with Caleb Williams because I have no choice.
Hey Caleb, you're the guy, or you say you're the
backup right now, and then when he's ready, you annoint him.
But to put him in a derby, all it can
do is end badly. Because if it ends how you
hope it will end with him winning the job, well okay,
(35:21):
that's great, but it may not end that way. And
then you're stuck and you're stuck answering questions and you
don't know how it's gonna go. And now suddenly, well
the guy's ready. Now he wasn't ready in the summer,
but he's ready now. Week three, Week four, it's nothing
but headaches. The worst thing you could do for a
first round pick is put him in a quarterback there. Noh,
I mean you get into the questions of whether it's
a rig game when we start talking about true competitions, Man,
(35:42):
how many times have we seen it really play out
that way? I mean, go back to Flynn showing up
in Seattle and then Russell Wilson comes in and wins
the job.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Out right, all Flynn was the guy that was the
giant expenditure kind of like you know, a very distant
cousin to what you're seeing in Atlanta this year. But
when we look at what New England does, like if
Drake May doesn't win the job and then shrinks away,
well then you learn a lot about Drake May and
(36:12):
you know you were wrong right if he shrinks away,
like I always say, if the guy has to get
bench because he's not getting it or get set down
and you lose him, well you've never really had him
because the confidence.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Was always a bit shaky to that point. If that's
going to alter them long term, then you found out
a lot about that guy and his character and what
he's bringing to the table. Doesn't mean he can't go
succeed somewhere else. But for you didn't meet what you
were trying to set up, and you got a new
coaching staff so what are they gonna do. They're gonna
preach competition, and that's the question. Is it more lip
(36:46):
service than reality? I don't know. But if I'm Jacoby Pressett,
I'm doing everything I can. I get one more shot.
But you don't even want to give the person because
what if something doesn't go the way you expect. Remember,
you have to account and this is what so many
people and my wife is a huge person who subscribes.
It doesn't count for the unforeseen. You gotta to count
(37:08):
for unforeseen developments. You could say, this is a rig derby.
We expect Drake may to win it, but what if
he doesn't. The team knows who's playing well and who's not.
Suddenly you're gonna put a guy out there that's not ready,
and then suddenly the coach loses the team if he
does get all the first reps and he can't play.
So you're but now you just say, okay, you know what,
you're the backup and when you're ready you will listend.
(37:28):
But Jacoby Brissett's our guy, and you can convince and
everything works fine from that point out. The players get it,
coaches get it, quarterbacks get it. But you put him
in a derby, so many bad things can go wrong. Remember,
it's not all about the quarterback. Isn't that what coach said? Now,
what he said before they took a quarterback with the
third pick. I think that's what Jim Harbaugh is saying. Anyway,
coming up next, boy, do we have a big story
(37:49):
out of college football coming your way. This is Fox
Sports Radio.
