the NBA tonight, Mike Harmon. Yeah, a squeaker for the Knicks,
very reminiscent of Game two against the Sixers.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Absolute squeaker.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Okay, you're gonna spin it, I said, a squeaker for
the Pacers got robbed, you mean, So we'll get to
that and it absolutely but give me my breepen punchline
from Sorry the Blakers aren't playing Prossberg.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I'm sorry that.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Your Bill Belichick experience from last night who was not played.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Day and it was look.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
First of all, it was something Netflix absolutely needed. They
needed some kind of big hit. I'm sure they gave
Brady upwards of ten million dollars at least to do this,
to sit there and get roasted for three hours when
everything was gonna come up his life, Giselle, deflate Gate, Spygate,
everything else, his relationship with Belichick, all of that. So
I'm sure that this was something Netflix has taken a
(01:43):
big sigh relief and saying, Okay, we just had a
huge hit because this is something people are going to watch.
It was relevant, It owned the news cycle for about
twenty four hours. It had great word of mouth last
night into today, and it was absolutely fantastic. Now you're
gonna look ahead and say, Okay, why don't we see
more stuff like this? Right, Roasts are kind of an
(02:06):
art in that you need the right subject matter and
you need the right people to do it to be
able to do it. Now, here's a great athlete, and
here's so here's someone we just saw with Tom Brady.
How many other people could we roast? And it have
the impact like this was last night and there's only
two guys that I can think of when it was like, Okay,
who can you pull off? This is just as big
(02:28):
because you have so much material to work with from
someone's long career, stuff that's controversial, stuff you can make
fun with, stuff that you would love to see someone
sit down and have to take a.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
No holds barred.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Reality sandwich to watch guys do that and people do
that for you for a couple of hours. And the
only two guys I can think of where their roast
would in sports where the roast would be this big
would be Lebron James and Aaron Rodgers. These are the guys.
There's other big stars have long careers, but like look
at Dak Prescott. Rose is not going to be great,
(03:03):
but I'd swap out one of your guys. But with
Aaron Rodgers, there's so much from not getting along because
they use so many things from Brady's career. And that's
why I look at, Okay, what's the big thing we
can talk about? Because it was so much from Brady's
career that the average sports fan knew. The average person
probably didn't know, Oh he really didn't like his head coach.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh this went on.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh you know he left Bridget Mooyne hand while she
was pragging, like all these things, Like there's so much
with Rogers life, from not liking Green Bay and his
crazy conspiracy theories and his other relationships, and there's just
and so many things his teammates could say that it's
a smorgasboard of what you can say about the guy
and Lebron. There's been no bigger star on the planet
than Lebron James the last twenty years. And you can
(03:46):
borrow from losing in the finals and teammates and coach
killing and everything else that goes along with it, and
taking his talents and there's so many things that But
are these are the two guys you see for the
general public? Of course, it is in the hands of
the roastmasters. Yes, one hundred percent. Lebron James. Yes, on
the grand scale. To Tom Brady, he's boring his Hell,
(04:09):
do you know how many clutch But the clutch sports
stuff will be hilarious with them. The Lakers stuff will
be fun, the Cavaliers the heat stuff will be fun.
The pat Riley stuff will be fun. Like Lebron has
lived everything so public for so long that even the
stuff that that even that that maybe the average person
doesn't know, there's still by.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
There's no juice. Like you you mentioned all this stuff
with Tom Brady of you know a lot of acrimony
with with teammates and whatever. Okay, that that cut through
with Lebron coach killing only gets so far the decision.
I mean, that's forever ago. We don't have any extra
stuff from meron with with Brady. We got TV twelve,
(04:49):
we get and Alex Guerrero, we got Moahan, we we
got Giselle. I mean you got three right there. That
Lebron doesn't have anything that's even closer to the e.
I mean, obviously he's a global sensation, and I guess
that's why I need Tiger Woods to slide into one
of those Lebron's had.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, tiger Woods would now, I mean Tiger Woods would.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Never do it.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Lebron has a lot of things that you would be
able to make the big jokes on that you would
think people wouldn't go. Why is Rihanna wearing your jersey?
You think there's not gonna be a Rihanna joke? You
think they're not gonna joke about his hairline. They're not
gonna They're gonna say.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
A lot of stuff. You're gonna they're gonna.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Say a lot of stuff in the hand, in the
hands of the roastmasters. They're gonna be even the one,
the one guy that did the whole king thing with
Burger king off like that was hysterical. You know, there
are so many things with Lebron and you forget about
him coming out of high school to the NBA, and
they're gonna make ped jokes and all kinds of crazy
stuff and and and that's gonna be like out there right. No, well, no,
(05:54):
they will make the jokes. They will make the jokes.
I'm sure. Then there's so many things there because it's
such a long career, he's so divisive that people are
really up on a lot of Lebron stuff, even if
it's just the average things. But the final and we're
losing in the finals is gonna be such a big thing.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
You've seen him stomp around a court like a three
year old. You have seen him get up like a
three year old. I'm taking my bag while wearing this
style is shorts ensemble and I'm leaving. You have seen
him would you like to answer your questions about, you know,
next year? No, I don't think I would. And he
went full Captain America. Yeah, he's it from the Lakers
(06:32):
did all of that stuff. He's gonna sit there and
laugh on himself. Did you ever think Brady would do that? No,
there's at least been signs that he's got to send
you. You were, Yeah, but you're doing all the stuff. You
know that's gonna come up Bridge and Moynahan's gonna come up.
Giselle Bunchin is gonna come come on.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Dude, eight karate glasses a day, like, and the Bob
Kraft stuff comes up. And now you're still trying to
work in sports. They're gonna bring up that you couldn't
stand Belichick and he couldn't stand you. That's a lot, man.
I didn't think for a second Tom Brady would go
through that. This is like the end of your career.
It's like when andre Agassi wrote Open and he just
basically torched everybody he ever played tennis with or against.
(07:07):
It's like, dude, that's the book you write at the
end when you're not doing anything public anymore. You don't
write that when you're forty years old, Like Brady gets
roasted when it's all said and done.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That's the one that gets released, you know, on my deathbed.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
You don't get roasted when you're just about to join
a big broadcasting career and people joke about plastic surgery
and then like I never thought for a second Brady
would sit down and do that, but he did, and
and he was good coming back. I think the key
to his broadcasting career is going to be him using
the F word. They allow him to do that, Like,
I think he'll be really.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Really well. And I really think Peyton was there just
as the setup.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah you know, you know what, because he popped in
and then Brady was able to just jump off with
a bunch of Peyton jokes.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I wasn't like that just kind of was a bridge.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I wasn't a big fan of Peyton. I didn't like
I thought Peyton was just okay, although he was late
years better than Ben Affleck, who I think, you know,
roundly was.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Like what are you doing? But like, I don't I
don't think he got the point.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I thought, you know, the point wasn't the roast the
guy on his keyboard?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, that was it. Was it was not great and
protecting Tommy at all costs.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I thought.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I thought. I thought Matt Damon would be there too.
I thought he would say something. I thought you'd get
something that, maybe get Seth MacFarlane there to do it.
But overall, like those are the outside of Lebron and
Aaron Rodgers, Like it's hard to find someone who would
sit and do that. I mean, Tiger Woods. There is
so much to say, but Tiger is not someone who
(08:28):
from my interest level.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, of you know where these comedians can really go injured.
The shadows here Like it's like with Lebron, it's speculation.
You bring up Rihanna in New Jersey, Like, wait on,
there's no I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
He's got nothing, He's got a clean slate on all
of that. Of course that extra stuff. So it's like, ah,
but job, let start.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Jumping into that time Lebron Lebron, it would be the
end of his career. Like I'm gonna say, Aaron Rodgers
might get up and start debating. You. Listen, here's what
I want to do instead of using my time to
get back and everybody I want to talk about this
is gonna be like a podcast. I'm gonna talk about
Mike little notes about what the guys said. Let me
explain to you. You remember in nineteen eighty seven, man,
(09:12):
let me, let me, let me tell you why I
believe that immunized and inoculated and all the same thing.
So those are the guys because outside of the two
of them, there there's lots of big stars. But it
would get boring pretty fast, and.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And and in general.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It's tough anyway because you watch a roast and you
know certain jokes are coming after a while, like, oh,
this is a joke about Jesse. Here comes a Gizelle joke.
Because as much as you want to think, hey, it's
great that that I'm running this joke, depending where you
go in the in the roast, it doesn't seem funny
because well, we've heard that. Oh, but that twitch is Look,
Nicki Glazer is getting and this is getting a lot
(09:49):
of great run. And part of it is because she
went very early, so you heard her jokes for the
first time by the time you got lower and okay,
well here's a joke. Yoah, we heard that joke. Oh
we heard that joke. We heard that joke. But that's
why the podcast guy that it wasn't killing Albert was
the guy's name, dead, Jim whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Oh Hinchcliff.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
He was great killing Yeah, killing Tony he was great
because he went away from anything you thought he was
gonna do, and he was fanto. And that's the key
I think is that, Hey, I'm roasting, and I'm going
towards the end of the roasters. So I got a
couple of stuff that's really original, because someone's gonna say
all these jokes already. So yeah, Nicki Glazer, if Nicki
Glazer had gone later on, she would still be getting
a lot of great pubbet it would be Yeah, Nicki
(10:26):
Klaizer was good, but other people were better. So it's
it's a it's a real it's a real art. It's
a fine needle to thread to get through and say, Okay,
here's what we can have with a with a great roast.
And and those two guys have the material, have the
people that would want to do it. Who wouldn't want
to get up and roast Lebron or Aaron Rodgers. Every
they'd be fighting over each other, both the roastmasters and
(10:48):
the athletes and former teammates to get up there to
want to roast both of them. So I mean you
would you would have that star studded lineup, You would
have something people want to see. You would have great
amount of of uh of of being able to to
put shit and do advertising for it.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, but those are the two guys.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Potential for chaos certainly does and too uh the unsolicited
you know, testimonial uh. Like I said, you know, there's
a period where going through stuff that that was the release.
At the end of the night, we'd get off air
and I'd be able to slink down over to sunset
and I'd catch the end of you know, some of
the comedy store or or where wherever I would end up,
and I got to see Nicki Glazer a number of times.
(11:27):
Like folks that just got exposed because you don't watch
the other roosts or whatever. That that's just the tip
of the iceberg as to what she can get after.
So she she's very good, h and getting your just due.
But your point about where you were in the order
was was true because I would have condensed it down
to you know, from three to about an hour and
a half. By time it was done, It's like, all right,
(11:48):
this joke has already been done. Nine different times.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, yeah, like I mean like the same like with
the same effect essentially.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Like it was great they did it live, but that
would have been better if you okay, you know what, well,
I don't know the we're gonna run Ben Nefflick because
he was bad. I know that we're gonna run Randy
Moss because he wasn't that great. And I get you know,
Kevin Hart, ah was Kevin Hart was the fun. Kevin
Hart's job when he gets up there is to just
settle everything down because you can't be up at a
high level the entire time you have someone just absolutely
(12:16):
killing with a set. You need Kevin Hart to kind
of take it down, talk for a little bit, get
you laughing, and then ramp you back up. So when
the new person comes on, you're putting them in a
spot to succeed. So Kevin Hart's role was he was
fantastic last night because he that's exactly what he did.
My job is not to after I get my turn,
I mean, you know, eight karate classes a day, Tom,
(12:36):
you know, after he it's like, okay, he really got
what it was. But but you know, being live, I
think there was that element of all right, maybe there's
some stuff we could have cut out of it, but
the part of the live thing that was the charm
of it. Hey, Whoever's coming next might be great? Ohever's
coming next? You can go in and out of it
and come back and watch who's coming up here. I
don't really care. Danny Ammondola, I don't know who that is.
(12:56):
Julian Edelman, I don't know who that is. You know,
he did Aaron Hernandez, which I did not see coming.
I'm like, oh my god, we go think about it,
think about it. But like I said, there's so many
things that go into that, and a good roast is
the funniest thing you'll see on TV. But you know,
you have to have a subject that there's so much
to draw from, or things get repetitive right away. Now,
(13:17):
like I said, there were still some repetitive stuff with Brady,
but not that much where all right, we have a
lot from these guys from a twenty plus year career
to draw from, Like Peyton Manning would not be that
much fun to roast, right, Like, okay, where could where
could you go for Peyton Manning all the way back
into the nineties with that, with that incident that he
had at Tennessee, and people would go, what is that again?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I don't understand. I don't know that Peyton would be
would be a great roast.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I may have heard some others that could come up
in it in the course of an investigation and research.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
But but I don't know how great, how great that
would come up. I'd be like, okay after a while,
and he'd be like, yeah, I'm kind of bored. Yeah,
I'm kind of bored. But when you have oh, maybe
they're gonna do a joke about this, will you do it?
Because part of it is is being anxious and on
a wondering, oh is this guy? How far is he
gonna go? Is actually is Bill Belichick gonna say something
about this? Is he gonna say something? And it's it's
(14:08):
everybody out of the element, and it's like you're seeing
people that are completely cut off from how you normally
see them and button down on the field, and here
they are saying, Okay, anything goes, I'm gonna let my
hair down and do it.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
How about do you think Gronk was actually on script?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
But I know he kept looking back at it and
they made fun of him not being able to read.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You think Gronk had tiny words written, just a tiny words.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Just wondering if at points he didn't just start riffing.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Gronk know how to read?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Telepron no reading good exit out about a Fresca exit
swollen dome again, if you have to think somebody else.
But outside of those two, how about a Fresca swollen dome?
Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from the tirec dot Com studios.

Speaker 6 (16:53):
App, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Fox
Sports Radio, The Jason Show with my best friend Mike
Harmon Jason, Yeah, what he got Frostburg?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Was that a violin playing? Or was that Jamal Murray crying?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, we're gonna get to.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Jamal Murray coming up in a couple of minutes, because the
next few minutes here on the show, something I like
to call well our own two minute report here let's go,
is of what we saw in both NBA games tonight.
The Knicks out last the Pacers. They win one twenty
one to one seventeen. The Timberwolves win going away by
twenty six over the Nuggets take a two games to
(17:32):
none lead going home. But yes, officiating is at the
top of the ledger for both of these games, albeit
for much different reasons. Now, let's deal with the Knicks
and the Pacers first, and then we'll get to the
Nuggets and Jamal Murray and his availability for Game three
after what happened tonight. So this game was so much
(17:53):
like Game two with the Knicks and the seventy six Ers,
where a couple officiating calls at the end are really
gaining a lot of attention. And as we saw in
the game against the Sixers, the Sixers could have had
a foul called on the inbounds play where Tyres Maxie
turned the ball over there were still twenty five seconds
(18:13):
left in the game.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That call went the next way.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
The two minute review said, hey, there are other calls
that were missed along the way, and the Sixers basically
it turned out to be, hey, this one call screwed
us out of victory.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
It was a call that went the next way.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I get it, But there's a lot of other basketball
that could have been played that the Sixers could have won.
Right now, I didn't the referees didn't make Maxie miss
the layup right didn't make Devincenzo make that three. So, yes,
that was a bad call. But to sit here and say, oh,
the game was on that the Sixers would have won, Yeah,
that's a little bit too much. That's blaming somebody else
for something you didn't do. Now you look at tonight's
(18:47):
game with the Pacers. The two calls that are gaining
a lot of attention were in the final minute of
the game, a kickball call that would have turned the
ball over to the Pacers, and that, if it's not called,
would have given the ball to the Pacers. They have
a fast break, maybe they score, maybe they don't. Maybe
and maybe they take the lead, but there would have
been two guys back on defense. Maybe the sixth the
Pacers dribble it out and and and set up their offense.
(19:08):
Either way the ball, they get the ball. And you
see upon review where I thought it looked like his
knee hit it. It was just his hand. The officials
said there was no way to review that. That call
should have gone the PACER's way. It should have been
the fact that that's not reviewable, right again, the fact
that anything is not reviewable, it's stupid. Everything should be reviewable.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I should be able to throw the flag just like
Bill Belichick did during jokes at the roast.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
So there's a play that should have gone the PACER's
way of a tie game in the final minute.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Now, the other play gaining a lot of attention is
the offensive foul that was called on the Pacers Miles
Turner and the and the offensive foul when he tried
to screen Dante DiVincenzo gave the ball back to the
Knicks again in the final minute. Now, that's a tough call.
I get it. Ask you know, Ariama, that's a tough call.
But you watch it and watch it live. Turner is
still moving forward when when he runs into Devincenzo. So
(19:59):
I am sure when the two men report comes out,
it's going to say, hey, this call is held up.
And Brian Windoris even said the same thing. Hey, I
know though that anything's going to change that because he
asked John Lebron for that information.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Hey Lebron, can you tell me what he thought about that?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
But you watch it live and you can see the
Turner is still is still moving forward when Devincenzo runs
in him, and Devincenzo sells the call by going down.
So letter of the law. Yeah, that's an offensive foul.
Tough place to call it. I get it, I understand,
But that's not a play where you can say, hey, yeah,
technically one hundred percent that was not a foul. So
(20:33):
basically both games are coming down to one play where
you're saying, if the Pacers had gotten that loose ball,
they would have won the game. And I think that's
stupid because you wouldn't have known they would have the ball.
Maybe they would have taken the lead, maybe not. Maybe
they would have won the game, maybe they didn't. But
it's all this play, this play, this play is play.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Yeah, I look, and now we're going full suprud or
film frame by frame, and right before the kickball, there
is a screen that Deven Jenjo sets that he's basically
like a lead blocker through the a gap And like,
what it wasn't that called? And you called it on there?
And look the turner. I agree, Letter of the Law.
(21:12):
It's a fall.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Is that a fall that they they call very often?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
No, it's a pretty soft It was a pretty soft
screen on the ground and sets up him flipping over
like he was.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
A stud man, and and and and and I forget
who Devin on that on that screen you show me.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
But if you sell that call better you get the call.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I mean, you sell that And devid Genzo certainly sold
a flop after complaining about a flop.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Good job by him, he understay, Hey, that was a flop.
Watch that was sleeping, he bleeping flop.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Less than a half a minute later in game time,
got me fly fly back like I got the guy
with the jib who's gonna.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Spin me off over here? Anyway we go.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
But you know, I I really can't help but come
back to one very simple piece to this is that
in both cases these blown calls benefited the Knicks and
contributed to Nicks wins.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, it happened, but what calls it? Two calls at home? Yeah,
for all your.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Belly acheing a hatred of the Knicks, not to mention
that brunts and fall that got overturned.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I'm not saying that's a foul in the third quarter.
It doesn't matter. Okay, it's a foul in the third
quarter of Again.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
How many more time do we gonna go through the
whole game and go you can call a foul in
them on this play and call foul in this play
let's let's just stick with calls that were made in
the final minute the game or the final two minutes,
where hey, if this call happens this way because I
get it, No, I get it.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
But while at the same time.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
But it's again to the point of reviewing plays, not
reviewing plays and then making a determination because the brunts
and fall was called on the court and somehow, even
with his body thrown into the guy, it gets reversed.
Like the lack of consistency with this stuff is maddening,
not to mention just the what you can and can't
(23:00):
challenge rules, which are just insane. It's like, wow, we
can challenge that. Why because it was an out of
balance play? Okay, now in the on the court, if
the ball stays in play, but it's clear the guy
got got it wrong, Like yeah, just wave it off.
It's like a delayed penalty in soccer d doesn't matter anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But listen this so much so if that's the case
for the next look, you want to talk about the
one call, mate, Okay, I get it, that one call
that was a bad call. It benefited the Knicks. I understand.
This doesn't mean you would have won the game. That's
not the point where you could say we would have won.
If there was five seconds left in the game and
you were going in one on none for a lamp,
I would say, well, that screwed you because you could
(23:42):
have won that game, right, But.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
That was not then you would have said, like Homer Simpson, eh,
what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
There was a yeah, what can you do? Now?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
I mean you would That's not that's not a case
where you could say, Okay, they would have won the game.
Now maybe they take the lead, right, you could say,
maybe they take the lead suddenly, that's oh, it's way
of the game. If if I'm Rick Carlisle and I've
seen it so far tonight, there's been a much less
amount of time talking about the officials call, and it's
been much more on social media, which is the ant
(24:10):
which was the opposite of the seventy six ers, who
all to a man couldn't wait to start called talking
about those foul calls of what happened the Knicks won
that series and six Joel and Bid couldn't wait to
talk about it. Nick Nurse couldn't wait to talk about it.
So I see a little bit that that's a good
thing from the Pacers tonight is that I've not seen
so many of them harping on that like that, Cause,
like even TJ McConnell aft the game today, what else
(24:31):
would you want on the road?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Game won?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
The game is tied in the final minute. What else
it was? They all said the right thing. So I
feel like mentally from that part they feel good going
into game two. But again, how do you come back
from we did everything we wanted to do in this game,
we still lost like that we didn't get anything from
haliber Yeah, that's how you do that too. So there's
your referee part with the Knicks. Now with the Nuggets
(24:57):
and the Tea Wolves, And again, this is not a
play that effected the game. This is a play that's
potentially going to affect the game after in the third
quarter of this blowout win by the t Wolves, Jamal
Murray is on the bench for the Nuggets and in frustration.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Most likely let's just say call it frustration because that
plays endo the story.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
He throws a heat pack onto the floor while the
players are playing. This is not while it is one
end of the floor happened, or there was a play
where he didn't like and the play is going back
up the floor and he throws.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
His heat pack.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
He throws his heat pack from the bench onto the
floor while the play is still going on. Now Karl
Anthony Towns grabs the heat pack I think, and throws
it off the court, and it was hey, what's going on?
There was no technical foul that was assessed on that play,
and Jamal Murray was allowed to get away with throwing
eight nice pack onto the court and having no.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Responsibility for it. They'd have to pay with free throws
or technical or rejections or anything else.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
A baby.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
So after the game, the officials were asked about this play.
The official said, hey, about this play, Jamalberry throws the
heat pack onto the floor.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Was that an ejection? What is that play?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
And he said, well, it probably would have been a
technical had we seen it, because we would have to
prove that he threw the heat pack at someone for
it to be an ejection. If you throw it in frustration,
it's a technical foul. But they didn't see it, so
they didn't call it. All right, So I understand that
part of it, but now I call time out and go.
You didn't really go crazy trying to find out who
(26:25):
threw a heat pack onto the floor. I mean that's
something where if you're the off, Hey, hang on a second,
let's find out who threw this heat pack on the
floor and take care of this. No, no, no, Hey, it's
a twenty five point burial. What a weekend. Let's just
keep playing, man. So you could have done a little
bit more to find something out and adjudicate it there,
because now you're getting to a point after the game
where people are going to say, hey, he should be
suspended for game three. You can't throw a heat pack
(26:47):
on the floor like that was he throwing it at
some You can't prove he wasn't throwing it at somebody.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
He just had bad aim, Yeah, right, because he's just throwingppy,
you know, hit someone squarely between the eyes like you
were singing Rocky Raccoon, Chris, I mean, what do you wants?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Christophers looked like he was having trouble getting around and
wanted to throw me a heat packag. You know, he's
coming off that injury. So you're seeing all this call
for hey, potential suspension for him for game three throwing
heat back on.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
The floor for the year here too.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
And I look at this this statement by the officials
following the game, saying, yeah, that would have been a technical.
You can see they're already gonna blow it off. Adam
Silver wants to do nothing. He does not right now.
He is so nervous right now, he's not sleeping in
New York. He's probably got he's probably scratching his head,
he's got hives or something like, Oh, my goodness, I'm
gonna have to do something because oh, the players are
(27:34):
gonna get mad. At mean, I don't want to do anything,
so I'm just gonna hope that I can take care
of this. So nobody's gonna care anymore. And where there
should be something for Jamal Murray instead there's going to
be nothing because Adam Silver does not want to upset players,
does not want to feel like I'm gonna put my
thumb on the scale in the series. And Jamal Murray's
gonna get away with throwing a heat pack on the
floor while the game was going on in front of him.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Now I have put up a pole at at Swallowen.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Don't men at Fox Sports Radio, Uh, We'll Addam Silver
have the guts to suspend him for Game three and
clearly based on the two minute report, they say, well,
we have to prove that he threw at somebody specifically,
So the ANSWER's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
No, gonna yeah, he'll get a fine. Yeah, it'll be
a big time Yeah. No, ten thousand dollars, that's it.
And maybe in.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Rech retroactively they'll assign you know how they have the
points towards you know, suspensions or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Maybe he gets a retroactive technical for it. Right, all right,
goes on your permanent record, mister. If you get to sixteen,
watch out, look God if you have sixty more.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
And he also in addition, there's video of him flash
of the money sign after a call that didn't go
his way that he does George the official two. So
you have both of those and no technicals, no warnings,
no anything, and then no media after the game.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Do you want to talk about a sore loser? Guys,
he's he's.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
On Mount Rushmore. Oh the Nuggets right now?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Have you middle?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
They have they have got and run over by a
bulldozer and they have no idea what's going on right now?
They have thousand yard stairs on that post game presco.
They have no idea what's happening to them.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
When things are going great though you were when Colors
came out. Shoo, those guys are a bunch of babies.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
And maybe, well maybe they're not going to be the
Evil Empire anymore because you know you got a really
well out fire.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Well that that is one hundred percent trail.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I mean, you gotta win to be sorry with our
head coach problematic here he's king baby it is?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Are you really you're enjoying this a little bit too much?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
What do you mean?
Speaker 7 (29:35):
Murray didn't didn't bother it's the playoffs you got to
talk to the night.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Also didn't show up really to play either. That might
have been the closest he gave to hit in the
rim tonight. Listen, if I don't show up to play,
I don't show up to talk afterwards. Okay, I think
that's okay, shocker. I can only aim when I'm playing
the Lakers. You guys, hey, don't that's only for two shots.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Didn't you guys see what happened in the next game tonight?
Let's go talk about that.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
I mean, what a baby?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Well, he is a pathetic look for defending champions.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
They've gotten punched in the face and they had no idea,
this was my defending champ. They had no well they
well they actually are. They're the defending champions. The state
senator running for re election, but he is the senator. Okay,
but no, but the Nuggets are. Whether you rooted for
the Nuggets or not, they're still the defending champions.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Debate.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
They have no idea what hit them right now?
Speaker 3 (30:26):
But it's funny right after game one and really they
got punched in the mouth pretty good there and they
come back.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
There's no Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Congratulations to he and his partner, birth of the child.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Overrated. They don't need it, Like, can we vote defensive
Player the Year over again? They obviously don't need him.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
They were just by. You think he names his kid.
We whooped that ask, And here's my kid. We whooped
that ask. Gobert right here, you go right without me.
Gobert made it.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Ah exit out bout of Fresca, exit swallen down the
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carbon again.
Adam Silver will find a way to do absolutely nothing.
Now a guy who does the exact opposite of that,
because to just play a music bed for a minute,
to not hear any scores and that wouldn't be good.
So instead, Steve de Sager has what's trending in the
wide world of sports, including the biggest story involving a
(31:22):
New York team another say for Edwin Diaz as the
Mets beat the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yes's story in the night.
Speaker 8 (31:28):
In fact, I'm glad you brought up the heat peg
thrown because part of the pool report, the ref says afterwards,
if we had been aware that it was thrown from
the bench, we could review it triggered by a hostile act,
to which everybody, as you say.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Say, okay, how do you miss this? Our fans bringing
in head, where do you think this is coming from?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
The other question is somebody in the row throw a
heat pack in?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I mean, this isn't like the random soccer ball that
flies in from another field, right, Why is there another?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Why is there another soccer ball on our field? He back?
Speaker 8 (32:06):
What's it those concession stands in Denver?
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Anyway?
Speaker 8 (32:09):
And the other question from the pool reporter is coach
Michael Malone comes on the court to scream at you
at one point, no technical foul, and the answer was
although coach Malone was visibly upset about both his team
and the officials.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I love that dig there, just very good intro to
the sentence.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
I did not hear him say anything on sportsmanlike it
warranted a technical foul end quote.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
Minnesota leads this second round series two games. Tony Jamal
Murray was three of eighteen shooting from the floor. Tonight
is the Nuggets lost in home to Minnesota one six
to eighty, and the Timberwolves lead at halftime was sixty
one thirty five, twenty seven points each for Anthony Edwards
and Karl Anthony Towns. As center Rudy Gobert was out
he had a son today. Gobert is up for Defensive
(32:58):
Player of the Year tomorrow night. Victor wembin Yama is
one of the finalists for that. He from the Spurs
was a unanimous selection as NBA Rookie of.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
The Year this evening.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
Chet holmker In of Oklahoma City finished second. Wednesday, we'll
find out League MVP. Nicola Jokichi Denver is one of
the three finalists for that.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Not after to Knife at New York the vote.
Speaker 8 (33:18):
He's in The Knicks in a second round opener, came
back to beat Indiana one twenty one one seventeen nixt
We're down by nine points early in the fourth quarter,
but then Jalen Brunson scored twenty one in the fourth
had forty three points in the game, fourth straight forty
point game for him. Josh Hard twenty four points, thirteen rebounds.
(33:39):
Game two is Wednesday. Cleveland opens the second round series
Tuesday at number one Boston the Cavs and come back
to eliminade Orlando in a first round series yesterday.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
So, Steve, do you think that Tyr's Halliburton is on
the phone with USA Basketball right now going I'm.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Selling a team, right, I'm selling a team. I'm still
a point guard, right, Okay, just want to make sure,
h great? Thanks?
Speaker 8 (33:59):
Well, yeah, some people who complain about all these rounds
of playoffs and then I got to play for the
national team.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Maybe maybe not quite so many rounds of playoffs.
Speaker 8 (34:07):
The way things are going, we're gonna have Jason kidds
Mavericks tomorrow on the court starting a second round series
at one seed Oklahoma City. The MAVs gave the head
coach Kid a contract extension today. In the NHL Playoffs,
the second round opener at Florida went to the Boston
Bruins tied one to one late second period. They beat
the Panthers five to one the New York Rangers five
(34:29):
and oh so far this postseason, won the air opener
of a second round series last night. They have Tuesday
game two against Carolina. Dallas is one seed in the
West in the NHL. It'll host Colorado in the second
round starting tomorrow night. As for the MLB late game
in LA, the Dodgers won their fifth straight six '
three over Miami.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Shohey Otani, NL.
Speaker 8 (34:50):
Player of the Week had a two run homer in
the first Dodgers hit four home runs in the first
three innings. LA reliever Joe Kelly goes on the injured
list with a strange shoulder. Dodger closer Evan Phillips went
on the aisle yesterday with a strain hamstring. The Dodgers
have won twelve of their last fourteen games, and they
got Walker Bueller back on the mound tonight, first major
league start for him in almost two years after Tommy
(35:12):
John surgery. Four strikeouts in four innings but three runs allowed,
no decision. He threw seventy seven pitches. X Dodger Corey
Seeger of defending champion Texas hit a three run over
top of the eighth and win at Oakland.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Four to two.
Speaker 8 (35:25):
Attendance in the East Bay two thousand and eight ninety five,
the Mets won four to three at Saint Louis, saved
to Edwin Diaz, Cubs loss, Brewers loss, but Cleveland and
Philadelphia each one. Again Phil's have won six in a row.
Back to you, thanks Steve o. Hey, do you have
anything there? Game three from Minnesota? Will it be heat
pack night? Will they be giving away? He patched all
(35:48):
in Minnesota and Denver. I mean fairly appropriate one with
just the one warning, do not throw roll we will
run your fingerprints. This will be like all the those
giveaways at Major League Baseball back in the eighties when
they would have a commemorative baseball night, but they would
give it away before the game and then realized, Wow,
(36:10):
the Dodgers forfeited a game because of this.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Actually against the Cardoons had run on the field.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Oh yeah, we usually get full sized bats in Chicago, man, Yeah,
well that was a times Now was Chicago by Eric
solderhole Man.
Speaker 8 (36:25):
Eric Solderholme and infielder who once got injured in the off.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Season by walking into an open manhole.
Speaker 8 (36:30):
So I'd guess sink bat Night was his biggest problem.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
And is Jamal Murray Taper Knight.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
No, we gotta have heat back Knight first, then then
we'll work on but they absorb it.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Coming up next, Hey, after what we saw in the
NBA tonight is a bold prediction we made last week
about to come true.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
That's next, right. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten
pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific Fox where it's.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
What's in the bag shark or something?
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Two big games in the NBA tonight, Game one of
the Eastern Conference semi goes to the Knicks. It's like
it's nineteen ninety six again. The Knicks meat the Pacers
seventeen to take Game one. Meanwhile, Minnesota takes a huge
two zip lead over Denver, thumping the Nuggets one oh
six point eighty. Watching them play defense on the Nuggets,
(37:31):
it's like that that part in Rocky where where Mickey
keeps yelling get him in the.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Gut, don't let that blankety blank breathe. Don't let him breathe.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Because Apollo had busted uh ribs and Rocky kept hitting
them there, don't let him breathe.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
That That's what it's like watching the Timberwolves.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
And and this is a this is so far a
bad matchup for the Nuggets, and I don't know that
they have any way out of this. They have been
incredibly dominated at home these first two games. So maybe
a little bit they put everything into what they had
against the Lakers because it was a very emotional ceiling
for them. But still this has been Minnesota putting on
a clinic the first two games.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
I'll take that excuse for game one, maybe that you're
looking at it long series. We just got out of this,
this big battle whatever, and the t Wolves younger, rested,
built to go up against Gordon and Jokich and the height.
Certainly no Gobert tonight, of course, but well yeah, I mean,
(38:27):
send those defensive players player of the year trophies from
his cabinet. But for game two, after all of the
impassion please and the Michael Malone, Oh, we need to
come out with urgency, they got punched in the face again.
That was the guy coming right out of the corner.
I've planted WHOA, all right, it was supposed to be
an exhibition. That's Drago at the start of the fight,
(38:50):
and Rocky Boar. You had Anthony Edwards with another big night.
He makes a big three and does the Jordan's shoulders
shrug as he comes back up the floor, which I
don't say that.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
He doesn't like that. I'm sure I don't say that.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Well, then don't do it. Don't do what Jordan did.
Then if you don't want people to say what was
the guy was? Martin didn't like when people called him
the muscle hamster.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Oh there's difference. Someone said to me, hey, you're like
Michael Jordan of Radio Great. If someone said you're a
muscle hamster, I'd be a little upset.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Nobody said, but I mean, look at Garon Taylor after
ten years told everybody he didn't want to be called Tyrod.
Because anybody still call him gern Taylor outside of you
and me, he's become Tyrod Taylor again. No respect. But sorry,
that's the way it works.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
We told you a week and a half ago what if,
And now it seems like we really could be at
that level. What if the next great rivalry in the
NBA doesn't involve Wemby, doesn't involve Steph, doesn't involve Lebron
or a d or Jason Tatum or Jalen Brunson or
Devincenzo or Josh Harder and Unobi or Hartenstein. What if
(39:52):
the next great rivalry in the NBA Quiten Grin. He's
playing great for the mix. What if the next great
rivalry is Edwards and Gildess Alexander, Because you're talking about
a guy who was an MVP finalist this year, a
guy who's likely going to be an MVP finalist and
more in succeeding years. They're likely on a collision course,
(40:13):
especially the Tea Wolves. Now we could get that Minnesota
Oklahoma City Western Conference Final, which would thrill the NBA.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
But if we get.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
It, I mean, these are the two guys that are
on display, the two big new young stars coming up
to fill that void. We get a great series from them,
and and SGA goes for forty and then Edwards goes
for forty. I mean, this could be the next great
rivalry in the league.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
You got that man.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
We talked about Adam Silver and look, he will not
intervene in any of this Jamal Murray stuff or Malone
r Any and we recognize that, but when do you
step in in the invisible hand so he's you know,
Adam Smith, would you do a little of that?
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Said, we can't have these guys in Minnesota, Oka.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Are you gonna say we can't have these guys playing
against each other in the Western No?
Speaker 3 (41:01):
No, we how do we get them unhappy with their
current situation when they need to find new location?
Speaker 4 (41:07):
At least they.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Listen. Hey, if we get that in the West, we
gotta have Nick Celtics.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
In the East.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
I was made a longer term of these guys have
to ask out to go to different cities.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
This cannot stand.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Yeah, I mean, look, let let's let's let's deal with
the part of first is that this could be the
next Grid and that's not.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Zion and Ja Moran.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
Well, but who tags in with Edwards against s g
A and Chet Because you're just trying to categorically just chit.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
Check's fun because it's Chet's just fun to say Chet.
I mean, but he's not. If he was that great,
he'd be an MVP finalist. Okay, I mean, really, if
Check was that Chet's really good.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
Now you're sowing the seeds of malcontentedness. I'm between Chet
and s G A. Hey, how dare you?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Hey, I'm sowing the seeds an contentedness because ty Shirt
is sowing the seeds of what.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Freedom.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
No, no, you had one, you had one job.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
I give you a chance to give a big tears
for fear song, and you blew it. For Ben Mallary
is met to hear you talk about too.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
You blew it.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Your Bill Belichick experience from last night who was not played.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Day and it was look.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
First of all, it was something Netflix absolutely needed. They
needed some kind of big hit. I'm sure they gave
Brady upwards of ten million dollars at least to do this,
to sit there and get roasted for three hours when
everything was gonna come up his life, Giselle, deflate Gate, Spygate,
everything else, his relationship with Belichick, all of that. So
I'm sure that this was something Netflix has taken a
(01:43):
big sigh relief and saying, Okay, we just had a
huge hit because this is something people are going to watch.
It was relevant, It owned the news cycle for about
twenty four hours. It had great word of mouth last
night into today, and it was absolutely fantastic. Now you're
gonna look ahead and say, Okay, why don't we see
more stuff like this? Right, Roasts are kind of an
(02:06):
art in that you need the right subject matter and
you need the right people to do it to be
able to do it. Now, here's a great athlete, and
here's so here's someone we just saw with Tom Brady.
How many other people could we roast? And it have
the impact like this was last night and there's only
two guys that I can think of when it was like, Okay,
who can you pull off? This is just as big
(02:28):
because you have so much material to work with from
someone's long career, stuff that's controversial, stuff you can make
fun with, stuff that you would love to see someone
sit down and have to take a.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
No holds barred.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Reality sandwich to watch guys do that and people do
that for you for a couple of hours. And the
only two guys I can think of where their roast
would in sports where the roast would be this big
would be Lebron James and Aaron Rodgers. These are the guys.
There's other big stars have long careers, but like look
at Dak Prescott. Rose is not going to be great,
(03:03):
but I'd swap out one of your guys. But with
Aaron Rodgers, there's so much from not getting along because
they use so many things from Brady's career. And that's
why I look at, Okay, what's the big thing we
can talk about? Because it was so much from Brady's
career that the average sports fan knew. The average person
probably didn't know, Oh he really didn't like his head coach.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh this went on.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh you know he left Bridget Mooyne hand while she
was pragging, like all these things, Like there's so much
with Rogers life, from not liking Green Bay and his
crazy conspiracy theories and his other relationships, and there's just
and so many things his teammates could say that it's
a smorgasboard of what you can say about the guy
and Lebron. There's been no bigger star on the planet
than Lebron James the last twenty years. And you can
(03:46):
borrow from losing in the finals and teammates and coach
killing and everything else that goes along with it, and
taking his talents and there's so many things that But
are these are the two guys you see for the
general public? Of course, it is in the hands of
the roastmasters. Yes, one hundred percent. Lebron James. Yes, on
the grand scale. To Tom Brady, he's boring his Hell,
(04:09):
do you know how many clutch But the clutch sports
stuff will be hilarious with them. The Lakers stuff will
be fun, the Cavaliers the heat stuff will be fun.
The pat Riley stuff will be fun. Like Lebron has
lived everything so public for so long that even the
stuff that that even that that maybe the average person
doesn't know, there's still by.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
There's no juice. Like you you mentioned all this stuff
with Tom Brady of you know a lot of acrimony
with with teammates and whatever. Okay, that that cut through
with Lebron coach killing only gets so far the decision.
I mean, that's forever ago. We don't have any extra
stuff from meron with with Brady. We got TV twelve,
(04:49):
we get and Alex Guerrero, we got Moahan, we we
got Giselle. I mean you got three right there. That
Lebron doesn't have anything that's even closer to the e.
I mean, obviously he's a global sensation, and I guess
that's why I need Tiger Woods to slide into one
of those Lebron's had.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, tiger Woods would now, I mean Tiger Woods would.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Never do it.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Lebron has a lot of things that you would be
able to make the big jokes on that you would
think people wouldn't go. Why is Rihanna wearing your jersey?
You think there's not gonna be a Rihanna joke? You
think they're not gonna joke about his hairline. They're not
gonna They're gonna say.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
A lot of stuff. You're gonna they're gonna.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Say a lot of stuff in the hand, in the
hands of the roastmasters. They're gonna be even the one,
the one guy that did the whole king thing with
Burger king off like that was hysterical. You know, there
are so many things with Lebron and you forget about
him coming out of high school to the NBA, and
they're gonna make ped jokes and all kinds of crazy
stuff and and and that's gonna be like out there right. No, well, no,
(05:54):
they will make the jokes. They will make the jokes.
I'm sure. Then there's so many things there because it's
such a long career, he's so divisive that people are
really up on a lot of Lebron stuff, even if
it's just the average things. But the final and we're
losing in the finals is gonna be such a big thing.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
You've seen him stomp around a court like a three
year old. You have seen him get up like a
three year old. I'm taking my bag while wearing this
style is shorts ensemble and I'm leaving. You have seen
him would you like to answer your questions about, you know,
next year? No, I don't think I would. And he
went full Captain America. Yeah, he's it from the Lakers
(06:32):
did all of that stuff. He's gonna sit there and
laugh on himself. Did you ever think Brady would do that? No,
there's at least been signs that he's got to send
you. You were, Yeah, but you're doing all the stuff. You
know that's gonna come up Bridge and Moynahan's gonna come up.
Giselle Bunchin is gonna come come on.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Dude, eight karate glasses a day, like, and the Bob
Kraft stuff comes up. And now you're still trying to
work in sports. They're gonna bring up that you couldn't
stand Belichick and he couldn't stand you. That's a lot, man.
I didn't think for a second Tom Brady would go
through that. This is like the end of your career.
It's like when andre Agassi wrote Open and he just
basically torched everybody he ever played tennis with or against.
(07:07):
It's like, dude, that's the book you write at the
end when you're not doing anything public anymore. You don't
write that when you're forty years old, Like Brady gets
roasted when it's all said and done.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That's the one that gets released, you know, on my deathbed.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
You don't get roasted when you're just about to join
a big broadcasting career and people joke about plastic surgery
and then like I never thought for a second Brady
would sit down and do that, but he did, and
and he was good coming back. I think the key
to his broadcasting career is going to be him using
the F word. They allow him to do that, Like,
I think he'll be really.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Really well. And I really think Peyton was there just
as the setup.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah you know, you know what, because he popped in
and then Brady was able to just jump off with
a bunch of Peyton jokes.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I wasn't like that just kind of was a bridge.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I wasn't a big fan of Peyton. I didn't like
I thought Peyton was just okay, although he was late
years better than Ben Affleck, who I think, you know,
roundly was.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Like what are you doing? But like, I don't I
don't think he got the point.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I thought, you know, the point wasn't the roast the
guy on his keyboard?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, that was it. Was it was not great and
protecting Tommy at all costs.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I thought.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I thought. I thought Matt Damon would be there too.
I thought he would say something. I thought you'd get
something that, maybe get Seth MacFarlane there to do it.
But overall, like those are the outside of Lebron and
Aaron Rodgers, Like it's hard to find someone who would
sit and do that. I mean, Tiger Woods. There is
so much to say, but Tiger is not someone who
(08:28):
from my interest level.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, of you know where these comedians can really go injured.
The shadows here Like it's like with Lebron, it's speculation.
You bring up Rihanna in New Jersey, Like, wait on,
there's no I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
He's got nothing, He's got a clean slate on all
of that. Of course that extra stuff. So it's like, ah,
but job, let start.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Jumping into that time Lebron Lebron, it would be the
end of his career. Like I'm gonna say, Aaron Rodgers
might get up and start debating. You. Listen, here's what
I want to do instead of using my time to
get back and everybody I want to talk about this
is gonna be like a podcast. I'm gonna talk about
Mike little notes about what the guys said. Let me
explain to you. You remember in nineteen eighty seven, man,
(09:12):
let me, let me, let me tell you why I
believe that immunized and inoculated and all the same thing.
So those are the guys because outside of the two
of them, there there's lots of big stars. But it
would get boring pretty fast, and.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And and in general.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It's tough anyway because you watch a roast and you
know certain jokes are coming after a while, like, oh,
this is a joke about Jesse. Here comes a Gizelle joke.
Because as much as you want to think, hey, it's
great that that I'm running this joke, depending where you
go in the in the roast, it doesn't seem funny
because well, we've heard that. Oh, but that twitch is Look,
Nicki Glazer is getting and this is getting a lot
(09:49):
of great run. And part of it is because she
went very early, so you heard her jokes for the
first time by the time you got lower and okay,
well here's a joke. Yoah, we heard that joke. Oh
we heard that joke. We heard that joke. But that's
why the podcast guy that it wasn't killing Albert was
the guy's name, dead, Jim whatever.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Oh Hinchcliff.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
He was great killing Yeah, killing Tony he was great
because he went away from anything you thought he was
gonna do, and he was fanto. And that's the key
I think is that, Hey, I'm roasting, and I'm going
towards the end of the roasters. So I got a
couple of stuff that's really original, because someone's gonna say
all these jokes already. So yeah, Nicki Glazer, if Nicki
Glazer had gone later on, she would still be getting
a lot of great pubbet it would be Yeah, Nicki
(10:26):
Klaizer was good, but other people were better. So it's
it's a it's a real it's a real art. It's
a fine needle to thread to get through and say, Okay,
here's what we can have with a with a great roast.
And and those two guys have the material, have the
people that would want to do it. Who wouldn't want
to get up and roast Lebron or Aaron Rodgers. Every
they'd be fighting over each other, both the roastmasters and
(10:48):
the athletes and former teammates to get up there to
want to roast both of them. So I mean you
would you would have that star studded lineup, You would
have something people want to see. You would have great
amount of of uh of of being able to to
put shit and do advertising for it.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, but those are the two guys.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Potential for chaos certainly does and too uh the unsolicited
you know, testimonial uh. Like I said, you know, there's
a period where going through stuff that that was the release.
At the end of the night, we'd get off air
and I'd be able to slink down over to sunset
and I'd catch the end of you know, some of
the comedy store or or where wherever I would end up,
and I got to see Nicki Glazer a number of times.
(11:27):
Like folks that just got exposed because you don't watch
the other roosts or whatever. That that's just the tip
of the iceberg as to what she can get after.
So she she's very good, h and getting your just due.
But your point about where you were in the order
was was true because I would have condensed it down
to you know, from three to about an hour and
a half. By time it was done, It's like, all right,
(11:48):
this joke has already been done. Nine different times.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, yeah, like I mean like the same like with
the same effect essentially.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Like it was great they did it live, but that
would have been better if you okay, you know what, well,
I don't know the we're gonna run Ben Nefflick because
he was bad. I know that we're gonna run Randy
Moss because he wasn't that great. And I get you know,
Kevin Hart, ah was Kevin Hart was the fun. Kevin
Hart's job when he gets up there is to just
settle everything down because you can't be up at a
high level the entire time you have someone just absolutely
(12:16):
killing with a set. You need Kevin Hart to kind
of take it down, talk for a little bit, get
you laughing, and then ramp you back up. So when
the new person comes on, you're putting them in a
spot to succeed. So Kevin Hart's role was he was
fantastic last night because he that's exactly what he did.
My job is not to after I get my turn,
I mean, you know, eight karate classes a day, Tom,
(12:36):
you know, after he it's like, okay, he really got
what it was. But but you know, being live, I
think there was that element of all right, maybe there's
some stuff we could have cut out of it, but
the part of the live thing that was the charm
of it. Hey, Whoever's coming next might be great? Ohever's
coming next? You can go in and out of it
and come back and watch who's coming up here. I
don't really care. Danny Ammondola, I don't know who that is.
(12:56):
Julian Edelman, I don't know who that is. You know,
he did Aaron Hernandez, which I did not see coming.
I'm like, oh my god, we go think about it,
think about it. But like I said, there's so many
things that go into that, and a good roast is
the funniest thing you'll see on TV. But you know,
you have to have a subject that there's so much
to draw from, or things get repetitive right away. Now,
(13:17):
like I said, there were still some repetitive stuff with Brady,
but not that much where all right, we have a
lot from these guys from a twenty plus year career
to draw from, Like Peyton Manning would not be that
much fun to roast, right, Like, okay, where could where
could you go for Peyton Manning all the way back
into the nineties with that, with that incident that he
had at Tennessee, and people would go, what is that again?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I don't understand. I don't know that Peyton would be
would be a great roast.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I may have heard some others that could come up
in it in the course of an investigation and research.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
But but I don't know how great, how great that
would come up. I'd be like, okay after a while,
and he'd be like, yeah, I'm kind of bored. Yeah,
I'm kind of bored. But when you have oh, maybe
they're gonna do a joke about this, will you do it?
Because part of it is is being anxious and on
a wondering, oh is this guy? How far is he
gonna go? Is actually is Bill Belichick gonna say something
about this? Is he gonna say something? And it's it's
(14:08):
everybody out of the element, and it's like you're seeing
people that are completely cut off from how you normally
see them and button down on the field, and here
they are saying, Okay, anything goes, I'm gonna let my
hair down and do it.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
How about do you think Gronk was actually on script?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
But I know he kept looking back at it and
they made fun of him not being able to read.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You think Gronk had tiny words written, just a tiny words.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Just wondering if at points he didn't just start riffing.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Gronk know how to read?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Telepron no reading good exit out about a Fresca exit
swollen dome again, if you have to think somebody else.
But outside of those two, how about a Fresca swollen dome?

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Was that a violin playing? Or was that Jamal Murray crying?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, we're gonna get to.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Jamal Murray coming up in a couple of minutes, because the
next few minutes here on the show, something I like
to call well our own two minute report here let's go,
is of what we saw in both NBA games tonight.
The Knicks out last the Pacers. They win one twenty
one to one seventeen. The Timberwolves win going away by
twenty six over the Nuggets take a two games to
(17:32):
none lead going home. But yes, officiating is at the
top of the ledger for both of these games, albeit
for much different reasons. Now, let's deal with the Knicks
and the Pacers first, and then we'll get to the
Nuggets and Jamal Murray and his availability for Game three
after what happened tonight. So this game was so much
(17:53):
like Game two with the Knicks and the seventy six Ers,
where a couple officiating calls at the end are really
gaining a lot of attention. And as we saw in
the game against the Sixers, the Sixers could have had
a foul called on the inbounds play where Tyres Maxie
turned the ball over there were still twenty five seconds
(18:13):
left in the game.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That call went the next way.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
The two minute review said, hey, there are other calls
that were missed along the way, and the Sixers basically
it turned out to be, hey, this one call screwed
us out of victory.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
It was a call that went the next way.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I get it, But there's a lot of other basketball
that could have been played that the Sixers could have won.
Right now, I didn't the referees didn't make Maxie miss
the layup right didn't make Devincenzo make that three. So, yes,
that was a bad call. But to sit here and say, oh,
the game was on that the Sixers would have won, Yeah,
that's a little bit too much. That's blaming somebody else
for something you didn't do. Now you look at tonight's
(18:47):
game with the Pacers. The two calls that are gaining
a lot of attention were in the final minute of
the game, a kickball call that would have turned the
ball over to the Pacers, and that, if it's not called,
would have given the ball to the Pacers. They have
a fast break, maybe they score, maybe they don't. Maybe
and maybe they take the lead, but there would have
been two guys back on defense. Maybe the sixth the
Pacers dribble it out and and and set up their offense.
(19:08):
Either way the ball, they get the ball. And you
see upon review where I thought it looked like his
knee hit it. It was just his hand. The officials
said there was no way to review that. That call
should have gone the PACER's way. It should have been
the fact that that's not reviewable, right again, the fact
that anything is not reviewable, it's stupid. Everything should be reviewable.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I should be able to throw the flag just like
Bill Belichick did during jokes at the roast.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
So there's a play that should have gone the PACER's
way of a tie game in the final minute.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Now, the other play gaining a lot of attention is
the offensive foul that was called on the Pacers Miles
Turner and the and the offensive foul when he tried
to screen Dante DiVincenzo gave the ball back to the
Knicks again in the final minute. Now, that's a tough call.
I get it. Ask you know, Ariama, that's a tough call.
But you watch it and watch it live. Turner is
still moving forward when when he runs into Devincenzo. So
(19:59):
I am sure when the two men report comes out,
it's going to say, hey, this call is held up.
And Brian Windoris even said the same thing. Hey, I
know though that anything's going to change that because he
asked John Lebron for that information.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Hey Lebron, can you tell me what he thought about that?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
But you watch it live and you can see the
Turner is still is still moving forward when Devincenzo runs
in him, and Devincenzo sells the call by going down.
So letter of the law. Yeah, that's an offensive foul.
Tough place to call it. I get it, I understand,
But that's not a play where you can say, hey, yeah,
technically one hundred percent that was not a foul. So
(20:33):
basically both games are coming down to one play where
you're saying, if the Pacers had gotten that loose ball,
they would have won the game. And I think that's
stupid because you wouldn't have known they would have the ball.
Maybe they would have taken the lead, maybe not. Maybe
they would have won the game, maybe they didn't. But
it's all this play, this play, this play is play.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Yeah, I look, and now we're going full suprud or
film frame by frame, and right before the kickball, there
is a screen that Deven Jenjo sets that he's basically
like a lead blocker through the a gap And like,
what it wasn't that called? And you called it on there?
And look the turner. I agree, Letter of the Law.
(21:12):
It's a fall.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Is that a fall that they they call very often?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
No, it's a pretty soft It was a pretty soft
screen on the ground and sets up him flipping over
like he was.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
A stud man, and and and and and I forget
who Devin on that on that screen you show me.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
But if you sell that call better you get the call.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I mean, you sell that And devid Genzo certainly sold
a flop after complaining about a flop.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Good job by him, he understay, Hey, that was a flop.
Watch that was sleeping, he bleeping flop.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Less than a half a minute later in game time,
got me fly fly back like I got the guy
with the jib who's gonna.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Spin me off over here? Anyway we go.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
But you know, I I really can't help but come
back to one very simple piece to this is that
in both cases these blown calls benefited the Knicks and
contributed to Nicks wins.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, it happened, but what calls it? Two calls at home? Yeah,
for all your.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Belly acheing a hatred of the Knicks, not to mention
that brunts and fall that got overturned.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I'm not saying that's a foul in the third quarter.
It doesn't matter. Okay, it's a foul in the third
quarter of Again.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
How many more time do we gonna go through the
whole game and go you can call a foul in
them on this play and call foul in this play
let's let's just stick with calls that were made in
the final minute the game or the final two minutes,
where hey, if this call happens this way because I
get it, No, I get it.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
But while at the same time.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
But it's again to the point of reviewing plays, not
reviewing plays and then making a determination because the brunts
and fall was called on the court and somehow, even
with his body thrown into the guy, it gets reversed.
Like the lack of consistency with this stuff is maddening,
not to mention just the what you can and can't
(23:00):
challenge rules, which are just insane. It's like, wow, we
can challenge that. Why because it was an out of
balance play? Okay, now in the on the court, if
the ball stays in play, but it's clear the guy
got got it wrong, Like yeah, just wave it off.
It's like a delayed penalty in soccer d doesn't matter anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But listen this so much so if that's the case
for the next look, you want to talk about the
one call, mate, Okay, I get it, that one call
that was a bad call. It benefited the Knicks. I understand.
This doesn't mean you would have won the game. That's
not the point where you could say we would have won.
If there was five seconds left in the game and
you were going in one on none for a lamp,
I would say, well, that screwed you because you could
(23:42):
have won that game, right, But.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
That was not then you would have said, like Homer Simpson, eh,
what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
There was a yeah, what can you do? Now?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
I mean you would That's not that's not a case
where you could say, Okay, they would have won the game.
Now maybe they take the lead, right, you could say,
maybe they take the lead suddenly, that's oh, it's way
of the game. If if I'm Rick Carlisle and I've
seen it so far tonight, there's been a much less
amount of time talking about the officials call, and it's
been much more on social media, which is the ant
(24:10):
which was the opposite of the seventy six ers, who
all to a man couldn't wait to start called talking
about those foul calls of what happened the Knicks won
that series and six Joel and Bid couldn't wait to
talk about it. Nick Nurse couldn't wait to talk about it.
So I see a little bit that that's a good
thing from the Pacers tonight is that I've not seen
so many of them harping on that like that, Cause,
like even TJ McConnell aft the game today, what else
(24:31):
would you want on the road?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Game won?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
The game is tied in the final minute. What else
it was? They all said the right thing. So I
feel like mentally from that part they feel good going
into game two. But again, how do you come back
from we did everything we wanted to do in this game,
we still lost like that we didn't get anything from
haliber Yeah, that's how you do that too. So there's
your referee part with the Knicks. Now with the Nuggets
(24:57):
and the Tea Wolves, And again, this is not a
play that effected the game. This is a play that's
potentially going to affect the game after in the third
quarter of this blowout win by the t Wolves, Jamal
Murray is on the bench for the Nuggets and in frustration.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Most likely let's just say call it frustration because that
plays endo the story.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
He throws a heat pack onto the floor while the
players are playing. This is not while it is one
end of the floor happened, or there was a play
where he didn't like and the play is going back
up the floor and he throws.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
His heat pack.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
He throws his heat pack from the bench onto the
floor while the play is still going on. Now Karl
Anthony Towns grabs the heat pack I think, and throws
it off the court, and it was hey, what's going on?
There was no technical foul that was assessed on that play,
and Jamal Murray was allowed to get away with throwing
eight nice pack onto the court and having no.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Responsibility for it. They'd have to pay with free throws
or technical or rejections or anything else.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
A baby.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
So after the game, the officials were asked about this play.
The official said, hey, about this play, Jamalberry throws the
heat pack onto the floor.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Was that an ejection? What is that play?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
And he said, well, it probably would have been a
technical had we seen it, because we would have to
prove that he threw the heat pack at someone for
it to be an ejection. If you throw it in frustration,
it's a technical foul. But they didn't see it, so
they didn't call it. All right, So I understand that
part of it, but now I call time out and go.
You didn't really go crazy trying to find out who
(26:25):
threw a heat pack onto the floor. I mean that's
something where if you're the off, Hey, hang on a second,
let's find out who threw this heat pack on the
floor and take care of this. No, no, no, Hey, it's
a twenty five point burial. What a weekend. Let's just
keep playing, man. So you could have done a little
bit more to find something out and adjudicate it there,
because now you're getting to a point after the game
where people are going to say, hey, he should be
suspended for game three. You can't throw a heat pack
(26:47):
on the floor like that was he throwing it at
some You can't prove he wasn't throwing it at somebody.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
He just had bad aim, Yeah, right, because he's just throwingppy,
you know, hit someone squarely between the eyes like you
were singing Rocky Raccoon, Chris, I mean, what do you wants?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Christophers looked like he was having trouble getting around and
wanted to throw me a heat packag. You know, he's
coming off that injury. So you're seeing all this call
for hey, potential suspension for him for game three throwing
heat back on.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
The floor for the year here too.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
And I look at this this statement by the officials
following the game, saying, yeah, that would have been a technical.
You can see they're already gonna blow it off. Adam
Silver wants to do nothing. He does not right now.
He is so nervous right now, he's not sleeping in
New York. He's probably got he's probably scratching his head,
he's got hives or something like, Oh, my goodness, I'm
gonna have to do something because oh, the players are
(27:34):
gonna get mad. At mean, I don't want to do anything,
so I'm just gonna hope that I can take care
of this. So nobody's gonna care anymore. And where there
should be something for Jamal Murray instead there's going to
be nothing because Adam Silver does not want to upset players,
does not want to feel like I'm gonna put my
thumb on the scale in the series. And Jamal Murray's
gonna get away with throwing a heat pack on the
floor while the game was going on in front of him.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Now I have put up a pole at at Swallowen.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Don't men at Fox Sports Radio, Uh, We'll Addam Silver
have the guts to suspend him for Game three and
clearly based on the two minute report, they say, well,
we have to prove that he threw at somebody specifically,
So the ANSWER's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
No, gonna yeah, he'll get a fine. Yeah, it'll be
a big time Yeah. No, ten thousand dollars, that's it.
And maybe in.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Rech retroactively they'll assign you know how they have the
points towards you know, suspensions or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Maybe he gets a retroactive technical for it. Right, all right,
goes on your permanent record, mister. If you get to sixteen,
watch out, look God if you have sixty more.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
And he also in addition, there's video of him flash
of the money sign after a call that didn't go
his way that he does George the official two. So
you have both of those and no technicals, no warnings,
no anything, and then no media after the game.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Do you want to talk about a sore loser? Guys,
he's he's.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
On Mount Rushmore. Oh the Nuggets right now?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Have you middle?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
They have they have got and run over by a
bulldozer and they have no idea what's going on right now?
They have thousand yard stairs on that post game presco.
They have no idea what's happening to them.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
When things are going great though you were when Colors
came out. Shoo, those guys are a bunch of babies.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
And maybe, well maybe they're not going to be the
Evil Empire anymore because you know you got a really
well out fire.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Well that that is one hundred percent trail.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I mean, you gotta win to be sorry with our
head coach problematic here he's king baby it is?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Are you really you're enjoying this a little bit too much?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
What do you mean?
Speaker 7 (29:35):
Murray didn't didn't bother it's the playoffs you got to
talk to the night.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Also didn't show up really to play either. That might
have been the closest he gave to hit in the
rim tonight. Listen, if I don't show up to play,
I don't show up to talk afterwards. Okay, I think
that's okay, shocker. I can only aim when I'm playing
the Lakers. You guys, hey, don't that's only for two shots.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Didn't you guys see what happened in the next game tonight?
Let's go talk about that.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
I mean, what a baby?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Well, he is a pathetic look for defending champions.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
They've gotten punched in the face and they had no idea,
this was my defending champ. They had no well they
well they actually are. They're the defending champions. The state
senator running for re election, but he is the senator. Okay,
but no, but the Nuggets are. Whether you rooted for
the Nuggets or not, they're still the defending champions.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Debate.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
They have no idea what hit them right now?
Speaker 3 (30:26):
But it's funny right after game one and really they
got punched in the mouth pretty good there and they
come back.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
There's no Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Congratulations to he and his partner, birth of the child.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Overrated. They don't need it, Like, can we vote defensive
Player the Year over again? They obviously don't need him.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
They were just by. You think he names his kid.
We whooped that ask, And here's my kid. We whooped
that ask. Gobert right here, you go right without me.
Gobert made it.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Ah exit out bout of Fresca, exit swallen down the
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carbon again.
Adam Silver will find a way to do absolutely nothing.
Now a guy who does the exact opposite of that,
because to just play a music bed for a minute,
to not hear any scores and that wouldn't be good.
So instead, Steve de Sager has what's trending in the
wide world of sports, including the biggest story involving a
(31:22):
New York team another say for Edwin Diaz as the
Mets beat the Cardinals.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yes's story in the night.
Speaker 8 (31:28):
In fact, I'm glad you brought up the heat peg
thrown because part of the pool report, the ref says afterwards,
if we had been aware that it was thrown from
the bench, we could review it triggered by a hostile act,
to which everybody, as you say.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Say, okay, how do you miss this? Our fans bringing
in head, where do you think this is coming from?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
The other question is somebody in the row throw a
heat pack in?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I mean, this isn't like the random soccer ball that
flies in from another field, right, Why is there another?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Why is there another soccer ball on our field? He back?
Speaker 8 (32:06):
What's it those concession stands in Denver?
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Anyway?
Speaker 8 (32:09):
And the other question from the pool reporter is coach
Michael Malone comes on the court to scream at you
at one point, no technical foul, and the answer was
although coach Malone was visibly upset about both his team
and the officials.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
I love that dig there, just very good intro to
the sentence.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
I did not hear him say anything on sportsmanlike it
warranted a technical foul end quote.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
Minnesota leads this second round series two games. Tony Jamal
Murray was three of eighteen shooting from the floor. Tonight
is the Nuggets lost in home to Minnesota one six
to eighty, and the Timberwolves lead at halftime was sixty
one thirty five, twenty seven points each for Anthony Edwards
and Karl Anthony Towns. As center Rudy Gobert was out
he had a son today. Gobert is up for Defensive
(32:58):
Player of the Year tomorrow night. Victor wembin Yama is
one of the finalists for that. He from the Spurs
was a unanimous selection as NBA Rookie of.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
The Year this evening.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
Chet holmker In of Oklahoma City finished second. Wednesday, we'll
find out League MVP. Nicola Jokichi Denver is one of
the three finalists for that.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Not after to Knife at New York the vote.
Speaker 8 (33:18):
He's in The Knicks in a second round opener, came
back to beat Indiana one twenty one one seventeen nixt
We're down by nine points early in the fourth quarter,
but then Jalen Brunson scored twenty one in the fourth
had forty three points in the game, fourth straight forty
point game for him. Josh Hard twenty four points, thirteen rebounds.
(33:39):
Game two is Wednesday. Cleveland opens the second round series
Tuesday at number one Boston the Cavs and come back
to eliminade Orlando in a first round series yesterday.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
So, Steve, do you think that Tyr's Halliburton is on
the phone with USA Basketball right now going I'm.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Selling a team, right, I'm selling a team. I'm still
a point guard, right, Okay, just want to make sure,
h great? Thanks?
Speaker 8 (33:59):
Well, yeah, some people who complain about all these rounds
of playoffs and then I got to play for the
national team.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Maybe maybe not quite so many rounds of playoffs.
Speaker 8 (34:07):
The way things are going, we're gonna have Jason kidds
Mavericks tomorrow on the court starting a second round series
at one seed Oklahoma City. The MAVs gave the head
coach Kid a contract extension today. In the NHL Playoffs,
the second round opener at Florida went to the Boston
Bruins tied one to one late second period. They beat
the Panthers five to one the New York Rangers five
(34:29):
and oh so far this postseason, won the air opener
of a second round series last night. They have Tuesday
game two against Carolina. Dallas is one seed in the
West in the NHL. It'll host Colorado in the second
round starting tomorrow night. As for the MLB late game
in LA, the Dodgers won their fifth straight six '
three over Miami.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Shohey Otani, NL.
Speaker 8 (34:50):
Player of the Week had a two run homer in
the first Dodgers hit four home runs in the first
three innings. LA reliever Joe Kelly goes on the injured
list with a strange shoulder. Dodger closer Evan Phillips went
on the aisle yesterday with a strain hamstring. The Dodgers
have won twelve of their last fourteen games, and they
got Walker Bueller back on the mound tonight, first major
league start for him in almost two years after Tommy
(35:12):
John surgery. Four strikeouts in four innings but three runs allowed,
no decision. He threw seventy seven pitches. X Dodger Corey
Seeger of defending champion Texas hit a three run over
top of the eighth and win at Oakland.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Four to two.
Speaker 8 (35:25):
Attendance in the East Bay two thousand and eight ninety five,
the Mets won four to three at Saint Louis, saved
to Edwin Diaz, Cubs loss, Brewers loss, but Cleveland and
Philadelphia each one. Again Phil's have won six in a row.
Back to you, thanks Steve o. Hey, do you have
anything there? Game three from Minnesota? Will it be heat
pack night? Will they be giving away? He patched all
(35:48):
in Minnesota and Denver. I mean fairly appropriate one with
just the one warning, do not throw roll we will
run your fingerprints. This will be like all the those
giveaways at Major League Baseball back in the eighties when
they would have a commemorative baseball night, but they would
give it away before the game and then realized, Wow,
(36:10):
the Dodgers forfeited a game because of this.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Actually against the Cardoons had run on the field.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Oh yeah, we usually get full sized bats in Chicago, man, Yeah,
well that was a times Now was Chicago by Eric
solderhole Man.
Speaker 8 (36:25):
Eric Solderholme and infielder who once got injured in the off.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Season by walking into an open manhole.
Speaker 8 (36:30):
So I'd guess sink bat Night was his biggest problem.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
And is Jamal Murray Taper Knight.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
No, we gotta have heat back Knight first, then then
we'll work on but they absorb it.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Coming up next, Hey, after what we saw in the
NBA tonight is a bold prediction we made last week
about to come true.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
That's next, right. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten
pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific Fox where it's.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
What's in the bag shark or something?
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Two big games in the NBA tonight, Game one of
the Eastern Conference semi goes to the Knicks. It's like
it's nineteen ninety six again. The Knicks meat the Pacers
seventeen to take Game one. Meanwhile, Minnesota takes a huge
two zip lead over Denver, thumping the Nuggets one oh
six point eighty. Watching them play defense on the Nuggets,
(37:31):
it's like that that part in Rocky where where Mickey
keeps yelling get him in the.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Gut, don't let that blankety blank breathe. Don't let him breathe.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Because Apollo had busted uh ribs and Rocky kept hitting
them there, don't let him breathe.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
That That's what it's like watching the Timberwolves.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
And and this is a this is so far a
bad matchup for the Nuggets, and I don't know that
they have any way out of this. They have been
incredibly dominated at home these first two games. So maybe
a little bit they put everything into what they had
against the Lakers because it was a very emotional ceiling
for them. But still this has been Minnesota putting on
a clinic the first two games.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
I'll take that excuse for game one, maybe that you're
looking at it long series. We just got out of this,
this big battle whatever, and the t Wolves younger, rested,
built to go up against Gordon and Jokich and the height.
Certainly no Gobert tonight, of course, but well yeah, I mean,
(38:27):
send those defensive players player of the year trophies from
his cabinet. But for game two, after all of the
impassion please and the Michael Malone, Oh, we need to
come out with urgency, they got punched in the face again.
That was the guy coming right out of the corner.
I've planted WHOA, all right, it was supposed to be
an exhibition. That's Drago at the start of the fight,
(38:50):
and Rocky Boar. You had Anthony Edwards with another big night.
He makes a big three and does the Jordan's shoulders
shrug as he comes back up the floor, which I
don't say that.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
He doesn't like that. I'm sure I don't say that.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Well, then don't do it. Don't do what Jordan did.
Then if you don't want people to say what was
the guy was? Martin didn't like when people called him
the muscle hamster.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Oh there's difference. Someone said to me, hey, you're like
Michael Jordan of Radio Great. If someone said you're a
muscle hamster, I'd be a little upset.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Nobody said, but I mean, look at Garon Taylor after
ten years told everybody he didn't want to be called Tyrod.
Because anybody still call him gern Taylor outside of you
and me, he's become Tyrod Taylor again. No respect. But sorry,
that's the way it works.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
We told you a week and a half ago what if,
And now it seems like we really could be at
that level. What if the next great rivalry in the
NBA doesn't involve Wemby, doesn't involve Steph, doesn't involve Lebron
or a d or Jason Tatum or Jalen Brunson or
Devincenzo or Josh Harder and Unobi or Hartenstein. What if
(39:52):
the next great rivalry in the NBA Quiten Grin. He's
playing great for the mix. What if the next great
rivalry is Edwards and Gildess Alexander, Because you're talking about
a guy who was an MVP finalist this year, a
guy who's likely going to be an MVP finalist and
more in succeeding years. They're likely on a collision course,
(40:13):
especially the Tea Wolves. Now we could get that Minnesota
Oklahoma City Western Conference Final, which would thrill the NBA.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
But if we get.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
It, I mean, these are the two guys that are
on display, the two big new young stars coming up
to fill that void. We get a great series from them,
and and SGA goes for forty and then Edwards goes
for forty. I mean, this could be the next great
rivalry in the league.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
You got that man.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
We talked about Adam Silver and look, he will not
intervene in any of this Jamal Murray stuff or Malone
r Any and we recognize that, but when do you
step in in the invisible hand so he's you know,
Adam Smith, would you do a little of that?
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Said, we can't have these guys in Minnesota, Oka.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Are you gonna say we can't have these guys playing
against each other in the Western No?
Speaker 3 (41:01):
No, we how do we get them unhappy with their
current situation when they need to find new location?
Speaker 4 (41:07):
At least they.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Listen. Hey, if we get that in the West, we
gotta have Nick Celtics.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
In the East.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
I was made a longer term of these guys have
to ask out to go to different cities.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
This cannot stand.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Yeah, I mean, look, let let's let's let's deal with
the part of first is that this could be the
next Grid and that's not.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Zion and Ja Moran.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
Well, but who tags in with Edwards against s g
A and Chet Because you're just trying to categorically just chit.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
Check's fun because it's Chet's just fun to say Chet.
I mean, but he's not. If he was that great,
he'd be an MVP finalist. Okay, I mean, really, if
Check was that Chet's really good.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
Now you're sowing the seeds of malcontentedness. I'm between Chet
and s G A. Hey, how dare you?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Hey, I'm sowing the seeds an contentedness because ty Shirt
is sowing the seeds of what.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Freedom.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
No, no, you had one, you had one job.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
I give you a chance to give a big tears
for fear song, and you blew it. For Ben Mallary
is met to hear you talk about too.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
You blew it.
