Jason doesn’t understand why NBA teams don’t force the ball from the great shooters who can't be guarded one-on-one in big situations. The Mets are losing games they’ve controlled most of the way. Caitlin Clark dropped a career-high 30 points tonight. Plus, why we need Jerry Jones Cam now!

shocking Lee. I guess we watched shockingly. We didn't watch shocking.
We watched shocking Lee English degree.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The Timberwolves stay alive by beating the Dallas Mavericks, and
the final few minutes unfolded unlike we thought they were
going to. We thought the Mavericks are gonna throw the
hammer down, but they couldn't make enough shots, and Anthony
Edwards and Karl Anthony Towns simply Hey, instead of folding,
they decided, we want to keep this going. And Karl
(01:22):
Anthony Towns hit three huge threes after having a horrible
first half in the final four minutes before he fouled out.
And then Anthony Edwards hits a couple of big shots.
He hits a fifteen footer. Hey, it's one where he
gets to the glass and goes in for a layup
with the ball high off the backboard. And those were
the big shots that really did it for the Tea Walls.
They're holding on to that win at the end. And
(01:45):
this is what really surprises.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Me is that.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Especially it's kind of a theme of this playoffs is
that I don't understand still why the best players of
on these teams are single guarded and the other team
doesn't try to get the ball out of their hands
at the end of a game.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I didn't get it at the end with the Pacers
and the and the Celtics, when not only did Rick
Carlisle not foul, he didn't he didn't try to get
the ball out of Jason Tatum's hands, out of Jalen
Brown's hands. We saw in Game two when they wouldn't
get the ball out of Luca's hand. Hey, you got
to get the ball out of Luca's hands. You can't
let him just take a take a jumper or the
(02:26):
end of game three. Rather, you can't just let him
be one on one with uh with Rudy Gobert is
as good a defensive player as go Bear is out
on the perimeter. Luca's gonna get his shot off, right.
We told you the stars are too good, and it's
no longer acceptable for a coach to say, okay, if
I have the star player and he's taking an off
balance three pointer, I'm okay with that shot. That was
(02:48):
years ago, but now the players are too good. The
stars make those shots. We watched Jalen Brown make those shots.
We watched Jason Tatum make those shots. We watched Luca
make those shots. So you can't just do that. You
got you have to be able to say say, hey,
we got to get the ball out of your best
player's hands. It's the one thing that I think Steph
Curry is going great because I always do that to me.
Because no team's gonna let Steph get shots off at
(03:09):
the end of a game because he's too small. They're
not gonam get big threes. They send defenders at him
and they make him pass out of it, and they
make him get the ball to somebody else to make
a shot. And while this isn't the Warriors team of
five six years ago, they're not gonna make him as much. Right,
Clay is not the same guy, They're not the same
stars can't do it like they used to. And watching tonight,
the Mavericks, who are a pretty good defensive team, allow
(03:32):
Anthony Edwards to get those shots off in the final
minute where he did exactly what you want to do
as a player. When he had the ball at the
top of the key, you could tell we're clearing out
for Anthony Edwards now. And he had a couple of
times where he took a couple of dribbles towards the
net and backed up because he wanted to see what
was the defense going to do? If I start going
(03:54):
towards the rim, What am I gonna see? Who's the
help defender coming over? What's gonna happen? Where can I
rotate if I have to find somebody open for a pass?
So you see him do it a couple of times. Okay,
I know what's gonna happen. And he's still single guarded.
He gets the rim for the for the the layup
off the backboard, and then he has the fifteen footer
where he steps back and hits it like still with
one defender on him, Like you have to get the
(04:16):
ball out of his hands, especially with Karl Anthony Towns
fouled out of the game, Like, I get it. Okay, Well,
we got a couple of guys and and Cat's been
hot and he's hit three threes even with guys on him.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
He is hitting heat check threes. But he's out of
the game.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You have to say, Okay, somebody else is gonna have
to hit this shot. We're gonna make Tom googly on
It hit this shot if the Timberwolves are gonna win, right,
We're gonna make Sam Cassel hit this shot if the
Timberwolves are gonna win. But instead, no, it's yeah, we're
gonna allow Anthony Edwards to get a shot off. And
I'm sorry, but having having a guy just because he's
fifteen feet away from the hoop with the ball, you're
(04:51):
okay with letting up like that's no longer passable in
the NBA. You can't do that anymore. And if one
thing we've seen this playoffs, you're talking about different themes
of stuff going on. That's a big one. Hey, can't
let start players get big get get big shots off,
even if it's off balance, even if it's on one
foot ten feet behind the three point line.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'll go back to the first round with the Knicks
series against the Sixers when Tyres Maxi has a ball
at half court and Tims is yelling foul, foul, foul
because he knows he's been red hot.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
He takes a shot from forty feet away and he
makes it, and.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
We go to overtime and the Nicks lose the game, like,
you can't let those guys get those shots off, and
nig were content with, Okay, we're not gonna let Anthony
Edwards pass the ball. No, you won let get the
ball out of his hands, have a plan to double
so someone else gets it, and then you're good enough
defensive team to rotate around and figure stuff out. But
yet we didn't see it, and Edwards hits both shots.
(05:42):
He's a great player, and that's why the Timberwolves are
going on. Even on a night where the Mavericks shot poorly,
they had a chance to win this game, they chance
to get back into it at the end, and instead, defensively,
they just said, yeah, we're gonna won on one guard
Anthony Edwards on the perimeter, which is an absolute gift
to the Minnesota Timberwe.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, made it look if he's gonna end up get
hot at that point. I mean, he finished three of
seven in the fourth quarter, including you know, as you
mentioned this shot that hit the glass, Well, that was
still a seventeen foot shot right kind of backed in,
came back out back into the lane, and then right
as the shot clock is expiring, he banks it off
the glass. For the Mavericks in that particular possession, there
(06:21):
ain't a whole hell of a lot you can do
any better. Even in the single coverage. You collapsed on
him as he got to the lane and he hit
a very difficult shot. The other one, yeah, out at
the perimeter, the twenty foot shot where you just joked goes, Yeah,
well there's one of those that they'll compare him to
Jordan right slidestep to the right, straight up and with
(06:43):
the the dagger. What would come to be, you know,
and this is you know, we had Mark Stein on earlier,
the Stein line where you find him look for his
sub stack columns and all. This is where I'll disagree,
you know, with the Lively absence. That's one of your
key defenders. Right, and we've watched the Timberwolves have problems, spacing,
(07:07):
problem shooting, problems moving the ball whatever. They're actually draining
shots tonight. Kat whatever the cause of it was, he
was dialed in in the second half, whatever went on
in that halftime speech, that's got to be one of
the greatest halftime speeches of all time.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
You know, you're getting ready to go home, right, right.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
And he comes out and hits for twenty points in
the second half. But the idea that you didn't have
another top notch defender, and for all we say about
Luca and getting better as a defender or and what
Kyrie's done at times, you didn't have Lively there. You
didn't have one of your bigs, you know, to work
on the glass or to create a little bit of
havoc if you did go into the lanes.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
So that part of it.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
But this is the first time that Towns and Edwards
actually hit shots because they've had opportunities. Right, That's the
one thing we could say about the series. Plenty of opportunities.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Like Edwards.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
You go back game by game you look at his
shot chart and there's a lot of white circles in
and around the basket, a lot of missed opportunities of
what should have been gimmes. Well, here he actually hit
a couple of big shots, and Towns finally hit his
three point shots. Meanwhile, the Mavericks offensively, I mean, PJ.
(08:23):
Washington was awful. It was a bad night tonight was
everything went, everything that could pile up into a big mess,
like losing a double header to the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You shoul said, losing a double head of the Marlins.
At least we're losing one of the best teams in baseball. Well,
they've been struggling and then they came back. We did
lose two out of three to the Marlins.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
So there was Well, Mike, when you're struggling, what's best?
What is the doctor order? Doctor orders the mets?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
The Mets.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I'd like one order of mets please instead of doctor
love you call today.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
What would you like for dessert? Another order of Mets please?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I'd like a little bit of Brett Bady in the field,
but just the idea that you have those games where
things that have gone wrong maybe on the margins slightly better.
And that's all it took for the Timberwolves to finish
this thing off. They didn't have any Rick Carlisle moments
and they actually hit a couple of shots when they
got some daylight.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Look, this is a series that's so far you can
pinpoint it like this. It's taken the Timberwolves too long
to figure themselves out in this series because Anthony Edwards
has not been good. He has a big game tonight.
Karl Anthony Towns has not been good, but he understands
(09:38):
he's got I got to have a big game tonight,
and he does. Even we had a bad first quarter.
But for the Mavericks this was I didn't get the
sense of urgency from them that we want to end
this tonight. And you know, and Mark Stein had a
great point when he joined us an hour ago and
he said, look, the big winners start of the Boston Celtics.
Because if I'm Luca, I definitely wanted to have nine
days off. I wanted to have more than a week
(09:59):
off to sit round between now and the NBA Finals,
And now you got one day getting ready for another game.
And now you're talking about a little bit less than
a week. If it comes down, you're gonna play another
forty five minutes, right, and you are gonna have some
time off if you win the next game. But now,
but you're also going back to Minnesota, and is Minnesota
and then you're talking about coming back Saturday, and now
it's even less time that you have to get going.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
But I just didn't get.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
That sense of urgency from them tonight, Like I didn't
get the sense of, hey, this isn't working, let's try
some other stuff. It was it was more, this is
how we've done it, and let's continue to do it,
even though hey, clearly this wasn't working tonight. You need
you need to figure something else out a little bit, Luke,
you needed to get to the rack a little bit more,
get to the free throw line a little bit more.
(10:42):
Kyrie needed to get to the rack a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Remember, also did miss a huge yes, and he did,
he didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And he look he did miss a big free throw.
But in the end, the Tea gouls hit, they hit
their free throws and and it wasn't like, oh, hey
they lost by two, and man, they just hit a
free throw.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
You know that would have happened. But it's so.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, No, they're just still so much there that that
the Mavericks I just never felt that, Okay, when are
they gonna for all you say about the Celtics and ah,
the Celtics don't play hard all the time. No, I
knew they were gonna close out Game four. I knew
they Okay, midway through the fourth quarter, the Pacers aren't
gonna get any more good shots, and Jason Tatum's gonna
start doing his thing, and Jalen Brown's gonna start doing
(11:26):
his thing. We find guys open. We're running the offense
exactly how we want to, and we're watching the Pacers
run around, and we're watching the Celtics very calmly, but
very forcefully in part their will on the game. And
I thought that's we would see from the Mavericks site.
But instead it was just more of, hey, let's get
down there and hoist some stuff up and see what
goes right. It was more let's just keep shooting, ep shooting,
(11:46):
keep shooting, and they needed to get to the free
throw line. They needed differently, need to change things up
a little bit more and find a different way, And
there was no adjustment. There was no something a little
bit different. There was no Kyrie's going to try to
get to the rack now all the time. There wasn't
any of that. And defensively, you had the non plays
at the end, and there's no wonder why this series
(12:07):
is now continuing to go on.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah, they shot terribly, Luca and Kyrie for the game.
I mean, there was no consistency, and Luca didn't make
a couple of big shots late. But I mean, I'm
showing you his shot shot chart from the game tonight.
A lot of open white circles inside the free throw line. Yeah, right,
going for the bank and too strong off the glass
(12:29):
or getting contested because you're going in amongst the trees.
They didn't swing the ball with the same verve as
it were that you've seen in the earlier games, right,
swinging passes to the open man, extra touches, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Like.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
It stalled and you saw a lot more standing around,
which had been one of the criticisms last season when
this duo got together and they went through the first
run and some of that had gone away for one night.
It returned in a big way in front of the
home crowd.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
And look the other thing too.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You talk about stats that stand out when you're missing
free throws, keep sending that team to the free throw line.
Keep sending them to the free throw line, like that
point the way to the basket, and send them the
free throw line when you're sixty percent from the free
throw line.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Hey, it's not their night, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Send them down there and it's one it's one point,
you know, or nobody send them down.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Add four falls. Nobody else on the the MAVs had
more than three. That's a lot of hammered the bank got.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
This was the low post.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
This was just a missed opportunity overall for for Dallas. Man,
I'll tell you, like I said, I give Minnesota a
lot of credit, but man, Dallas just gave this game away.
No sense of urgency. Exit out about a Fresca exit

Boom boom boom, boom boom Fox Sports Radio. The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon live from
the Tirerag dot Com Studios. Well, we'll get to maybe
the person who had the biggest night in basketball in
the second. But let me just say this, okay, because
it's really really hard tonight watching that Mets doubleheader against
(15:02):
the Dodgers and seeing them completely blow Game one in
incredibly heartbreaking fash The Mets find a different way. I
feel like I'm talking like Bill Walton. The Mets find
a day every day to break your heart. This is
what sports is. Errors in the eighth inning, they blow
the game in the ninth. It was just terrible.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
And this is thrown.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And now on top of this was Mets President of
Baseball Operations David Starts making big headlines today saying not
gonna trade anybody yet, still have time to see what
this team is. And the Mets go out and lose
a doubleheader like that to the apparently not apparently not.
Now what I'm hoping is this is the deal because
everybody's gonna go shopping in the Mets.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
They have guys on one.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Year deals, they have because their starting pitching has been okay,
and they have every day players that people are gonna want. Right,
everybody's gonna go shopping at the Mets of the devil.
To be fair, you are only six games out from
the Wildcard. Let's see we've we've gone. I'm like nine
and thirty in the last month and a half.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
It's closer to six. Terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I think it might be my fault. We were twelve
and eight at the top and what happened. I went
to the next game and since then it was the
ten to nothing game.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Did you not finish your helmet or something that looks
like the bad the Mets bad juju with the.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Squad or what the Mets were twelve and eight and
then they lost that game ten nothing, and they've never
been the same since.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I mean, they're terrible. They're absolutely terrible.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I don't know that Frostburg's ever gone after you like
like he did after that.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
It was because it was you're fallful, and I think
it was I think this tend just screwed everything up. Yeah,
you can take the think out. It wasn't And I.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Can't go to another game until the beginning of August
when they come to Anaheim.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
By then the season's over.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
But I might actually want to go to one of
those games. Man, it'll be easy to get in. Tickets
will be easy theory. In theory, I'll get trout, will
be back, I'll get to play for the or at
least come wave as a little hard.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
How quick you're getting your jersey mics and yeah, oh
yeah this so they'll bring it to me on the field.
We see time.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Second Baseman asked for a jersey mics for number two
with Turkey and Provo there.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
You should see if you can throw out a first
pitch at the stipulation that you get to wear a
g and I want to want to do is I
want to get a Mets hat and I want to
throw it at Lindor Can I do that?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Can I want to take the I want to throw
it right at him. Now, look, everybody's going the Mets
have so many players of people are gonna want but
to hear David start say, oh, we got to see
what the team is. Okay, here's your translation.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Number one.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yes, it is a long way to the trade deadline,
just because the Mets know.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
That we stink.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Other teams don't know if they're gonna buy or not,
like are we are we gonna be buying it the
deadline or not? So you're not gonna see the people
out there that you will the deadline. Hey, there there
may be you know, one or two teams now interested
in the player you have, but at the deadline, there's
gonna be four or five because hey we can buy,
we're five hundred.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
We're feeling good about getting the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Well, you also have several weeks where bad things are
gonna happen to players, right, I mean, look at Ronaldo. Now.
The fact of the matter is the Braves are deep enough,
strong enough going back into their farm system that they
can absorb such a loss without it affecting them too
terribly much. Most teams cannot, and which means maybe there's
another buyer or two for what the Mets have to sell.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
But this is the other part of it. Here's the
other part of the translation. The players the Mets want
to trade. There's only one problem. Oh, on problem, that's
one problem. There's only one problem. Most of the players
and Mets want to trade.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
One problem. That's it. Are you gonna say, oh? Or
the guys hitting it? There's only one problem.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Hit it with runners and scoring position. The Mets have
an ability to bunt.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
They haven't hit with runners in scoring positions nineteen eighty six.
It's it's so infuriating watching them hit with runners as well.
Just keep them going out, Dad. The base is loaded,
one out and a three to zero count in the
bottom of the ninth inning and they couldn't get a
run across.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Come on, man, I get the dut Dodgers don't need
any help. They're great, they don't need any help. There's
only one problem. One problem. One problem with the players.
One problem.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
And this is really something that each of you out
there across the globe, because they are a global entity
here on the iHeartRadio app, wherever you go.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The players, the Mets want to trade all stink.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
They all stink.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Alonzo's not hitting, Nemo stinks, Jeff McNeil stinks. Lindor if
they could get out from under that contract, he stinks.
They all stink. You can't trade guys who stink. Teams
would want these guys if they were hitting. Hey, it's
a bad season, but hey this guy's hitting. We can
plug him into our lineup. Why are we going to
trade you anything for guys who stink? Because they all stink.
(19:37):
That's the problem. Justin is that a record for the
number of times the word used.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
That's the problem.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
It's a compliment.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
They're just stink. I mean, why this is just it's
just it's disaster.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
And then you watch the Brett Bady play Once upon
a time, one of the we.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Don't have to brea if we had the Breadbabs, it's
it's a run for the Dodgers and we lose.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Now you got lucky. I can't because since it's a
Dodger play.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I would not have been surprised if he would have
been able to say, hey.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Chris hit it.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
This is where if the Mets had any say or
any sense of being cool, like at mlbshop dot com
or Mets dot com or eBay or Craigslist or Facebook,
Marketplace or Etsy or even stuff that's unlicensed, everything is
half price. Everything is half price the rest of the
year because they stink. Everything should be half price. Every
(20:36):
single thing they sell half price because they stink.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Now, I did hear a story where that's actually gonna
happen for a facility, I hope.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
So for one day, I hope. So one day and
one is it City Field.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
No, because you've got the Vancouver White Cabs and their
matchup against Inner Miami.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Okay, no, messy yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Basically like they're artificially out, but they're like, yeah, we
don't expect them to play. They've released statement, so concessions
fifty see I like that. So the ticket's already sold, right,
You've got fifty dollars, Like, you've got a huge stadium
full of people that are coming. So it's like, please
still come because we've got your ticket price now. Even
at fifty percent. We still with those markups. They're still profiting,
(21:21):
particularly when you buy a soda or something.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
City feels like dollar hot dogs, dollar hot dogs, dollar
dollar sodas, dollar hot dogs. I would still go. Hey,
there's lots of places I'll go for a dollar soda,
dollar hot dog.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I'm not sure. I don't care what it is. I
will go there.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Hey, here's a subterranean tunnel under the city and there's
people living there that haven't been seen the sun in
twenty years. They're dangerous and their teeth are sharpened. Why
would I go down there? Well, at the very end,
it's dollar soda and dollar hot dog. Oh, you give
me a flashlight.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I'm ready. I'm ready to go.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Man holistic, I'll go humanoid underground.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah boy, if they if they bite you, they'll infect you.
You'll turn into the undead. Oh yeah, but again dollar
hot don't wait. Did they have diet coke? Oh yeah,
they have diet coke. Oh, then I'm going. I'm going.
It was regular calling, diet coke and dollar hot dog. Sure,
what's my limit? No, I get as many as you want. Okay,
I'm ready to go, Ready to go. Don't you want
some armor or something.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
No, no, no, it's fine, I said, I'll go. It's
it's good, It's all good. Nowhere about it. I'll get
I'll get them.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
For these guys, I'll tell me, don't bite me and
kill me with your with your really sharp bogrod Harry
Potter teeth.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
No, no, no, don't bet. I'll be fine, be all good.
Many places I would go.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
I could have said, I could have said grip hook,
but I wanted to go deeper.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That'll. Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Now, while that being so, because now I feel like
this has been like a big therapy night for me.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Yeah, but I mean, your team stinks, so we probably
gave him more time than it deservedly. But it was
a bigger, bigger point about the trade deadline that even
if you know you suck, other teams aren't quite so sure.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I'm ansy to get rid of everybody, Get get rid
of everybody sitting praying that two or.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Three teams are on the fence and they just want
to prevent the slide.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
But again, they're gonna want good players, not guys who stink.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Okay, this is where you pay a consulting feet of
Scott Boris's crew.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I bet because you'll make those numbers look like you're JD.
Martinez is already whatever place he's renting in New York,
he's already said, Hey, yeah, listen, I want to give
my two month notice right now. What the end of July,
I'm gonna I'll pay I'll pay up through the end
of July, but then I'm gonna be out.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Well you're sure, Yeah, I feel pretty bad, pretty good
about that, Pretty sure. I feel pretty stark.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
There's another guy who really stinks that you're giving a
pass to.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Who sinks he's hitting like two ten. Lindor I told you.
Lindor stinks. I told you I want to throw the
first pitch at him.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
He stays, I wish I wanted to throw the first pitch.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I didn't even mention Edwin Diaz, who stinks out side.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
He can't.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Hey, dude, if games were eight innings long, the Mets
would be great.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
But I mean it's not, so we're not and they're not.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah. And at the basketball games were forty minutes, the
Lakers would be in the finals.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Well that's true. Yeah, you're right, you're right about that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
And if I were six one and a half, I
could get invited to the NBA Draft combine.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You'd be the dad, not Joey Gallop. So, speaking of basketball,
we had a big night tonight. As we talked about
Anthony Edwards having the night, sending the series back to
Minnesota for Game five, Caitlyn Clark best night of her
career in the WNBA so far. No, the Fever didn't
win Friday. It was better because they got a dope.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
They got a w.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
But Caitlyn Clark thirty three and three tonight, She's the
first thirty three and three rookie in the WNBA in
about eight years. They lost to the Sparks and again.
Next year's Fever team with Caitlin Clark and Paige Beckers,
is gonna be off the hook man. Just what pick
your poison?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Man? It's Luke and Kyrie. Who are you gonna stop?
You got? We got both of them got. We're gonna
be great.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
And if you go out to guard then then Aliah
Boston gets to torch you down low.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
You're in drama. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
No, Hey, the future is bright for the Indiana Fever,
But thirty points to night and look, you know me,
I don't like to say I told you so, but
I'll do it right here because I told you then
lady was going to have and how good she was
going to be, even better than I thought, because coming
into the season, Okay, she is gonna have a little
bit welcome to the WNBA moment, she's going to adjust
(25:24):
to think she's not going to as ridiculous. To think
she's gonna be intimidated, as ridiculous. To think suddenly she's
not gonna be able to score is ridiculous. But even
I thought, okay, once she gets a few games in.
This has been a horrible schedule. Seven games in the
first twelve days, and everybody's playing a lot of games
because you want to get ready for the n season tournament.
Then you're taking a break for the Olympics, and you're
coming back to finish the league. So there's a lot
(25:45):
of basketball coming up this summer, which is great for
the WNBA, great for the attention because you're talking about
the timing of Caitlin Clark coming in, when you're gonna
get women's basketball the most you've ever had. It's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Well, but just based on scheduling, you also had very
short layoff.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yeah, oh you did which is.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Not good for their you know, strength, conditioning, rest recovery
off of their normal river by Patamas.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
They'll get Tom Brady p twelve year, they'll be fine.
But here's Caitlyn Clark now at the time, and you thought, Okay,
she's gonna slow down a little bit. Instead, you are
now starting to see her get those threes off, get
through screens, get the ball work within the offense members.
She's coming into a new offense, and she is now
starting to play her game. Seven out of sixteen from
(26:31):
the floor tonight, you know it wasn't eight out of twelve,
but still thirty points leading the way. She has been
the best rookie in the league so far. And I
say this because no other player has no other player
not just rookie, no other player has a defensive attention
on them like Caitlyn Clark does. Angel rees can be
the rookie week that's great. She's a nice thirteen and
ten player, right, She's a good player. She can be
(26:53):
a star type player. She's a big personality. She's not
Caitlyn Clark. Nobody is Caitlyn Clark. That's just the way
it goes. And you watch tonight when who was it
from the from the Sparks hit her free throw, McDonald
hit her friend. She had a big game off the
bench of twenty. She hit her free throw and then
ran to Caitlin Clark for the inbounds right, Like my
job is to guard Caitlin Clark ever and go, hey,
(27:15):
you have another free throw? Like she's so preoccupied with
I am in Caitlyn clark shorts, making sure she's not
getting the ball that I forgot I had another free throw.
Nobody is getting that kind of attention. And still here
she is a handful of games in scoring thirty points.
Caitlyn Clark has adjusted.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
It's going to be her league.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
She's rising, She's raising everybody up. There's room for everybody
else to be stars.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
There is.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
So the world is wide enough for everybody, right, just
ra Hambilton. World's wide enough for everybody. But it's Caitlyn
Clark's league, and you're seeing her start to take over,
and it's just gonna be better and better from here
on out. She can hit shots from the log. You
can't teach that. You can't suddenly start taking shots going
I'm gonna work for somebody, someone that hits shots from
the logo, No you the Kennedy, you can't the game
she has. It's very Steph Curry esque. Getting used to
(28:00):
everything faster. She's been terrific. Don'll anybody tell you different.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Still needs to work on the turnovers, but that's more
again the offensive flow, and it's not to excuse it,
right decision making based on where you're at in terms
of communication and flow of your offense. She still wants
to push it instead of letting a possession set up
even if you don't need it right, you're not running
(28:25):
down a shot clock, You're not running to an end
of a quarter. So she had seven in this game,
but lived at the free throw line thirteen to fifteen.
She had three block shots, So the help d has
been good. Still chirpy as always in the files foul trouble,
I mean, she's orderline following out every game. So still
getting used to how games are called right, that flow
(28:50):
and it's all learning process for Angel rees. For Cameron Brink,
who had a very pedestrian game today twenty four minutes.
She was one of six from the field, just three rebounds,
three points. On the other side or fellow rookie Jackson,
she had twelve twelve and a couple of steals. But
it's just the idea of your learning. Right, it's another league,
(29:11):
it's another another process, like any job you take, like
the next year of school. Guess what it's new teachers
and all the veterans in the WNBA are looking to
teach lessons to the youngsters, no matter what your name is,
no matter what your resume is, and with if you
can be on the highlights shutting down Caitlin Clark, guess
(29:32):
what you won that day?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
And that's what a lot of players.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
There's gonna be a little extra emphasis there when we're
talking on the defensive end, and maybe once she comes
into the lane, maybe maybe you get a little extra
but she's not gonna back down, like that's just not
her makeup. So it takes time and hopefully everybody sticks
around for the ride that has jumped down the bandwagon
(29:57):
at this point, right, they're gonna expand the league. Another
couple of team memes here in short order, and all
of those announcements and folks waiting for it to fail.
You know, good luck to you find find some happiness
in your life.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Get a hug.
Speaker 1 (30:10):

tell you next right here, Jason to Mike.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith

Speaker 1 (30:47):

Speaker 3 (30:49):
I'll take it. That's fine. Could have done it all
night long with the Mets time. It's all good. That's
all good.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Carmen, Live for the TIREC dot Com Studios.
Now we we we actually got a break tonight with
Minnesota beating down. I know everybody wanted. Let's have the
Western Conference Finals over. Let's have nine days until I
have to watch an NBA game. Again, let every go
and go on vacation. Let's figure this out.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
He was ready to go, he had a four vacation.
He's like, hey, sweep him out.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
He was done. He was done. But we get the break.
But now a story we talked about over a week
ago we need to really get to and this is
the cameras office time. Maybe not more offic style, more
TMZ style, where the guy with the camera can ask
the pointed questions like TMZ does when they find you know, oh, hey,
(31:45):
here's uh, you know, Derek Fisher in the parking lot
at at uh at Pavilions.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Hey, did you get in a fight with Matt Barnes
over it?
Speaker 5 (31:56):
No?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Hey, you know he's loading like water into his car. No,
everything is cool. Everything is cool. Like we need the
TMZ cameras following Jerry Jones around as he has to
deal with the fact that every team in the Dallas
area in a calendar year of sports, yeah, is going
to play for a title except for the Cowbary.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
No, it's gotta be madness. I'm inside that mansion. He
already had the Rangers win, so we kind of blew that.
But it's okay because we didn't really know what was
gonna happen in the spring, but now you have them.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Now you have the Mavericks. Okay, the Mavericks loose, so
you have some time. We got a couple of days
now until the next game. But now the Mavericks are
likely going to go to the finals. The Stars are
up two games to one. They're just two games away
from going to the Stanley Cup Final. You gotta follow
that around and find out exactly just just watch him,
just go crazy and give excuses why the other teams
are winning and Jerry Jones and the Cowboys can't.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Well, the big.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Piece of it is then the brain Trust gets assembled
at all hours of the night, secret meetings, cldestined relations
here in the in the middle of the night, to
try to figure out exactly how they can upend others
championship group and dreams. And you know what that means.
(33:11):
Someone's getting a big oversized novelty checks Steven. I may
text you late at night for a meeting. Well, well
I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I may text you, uh late at night to text
me that I could text you to call a meeting
so we can talk about and go over this. Because
now if the stars make it and the mass make it.
We gotta give DAK one hundred and fifty million dollars
a year. So you tell me who we gotta cut
and get rid of so I can give DAK one
hundred and fifty million dollars because I gotta take all
that attention away and and and plays it back on
(33:39):
the cap.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Bringing Zeke back wasn't enough. No, God, exactly that. I mean,
it's more than a ripple, less than a sply.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I got it. We gotta sign stallback. We got to
bring back Drew Pearson, now.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Herschel Walker, all these guys got Jimmy Johnson's got to
come back to coach well, we got to bring all
these guys.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Some might argue that would be the wise move.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Tony Hill is coming back. We're gonna get Tony Hill.
Kateman's gonna return.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
I'm gonna have him battled out with with Steve Walsh
for the number one job like he did when he
was a rookie. But legitimately, you're just in a position
of Maryland signed him too.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
You're winning thirty a year and you suck Errick Williams. Okay, No,
it's gonna grab him all alignment along the way.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
It's more funny if you said, I just jump in
Randy White, Harvey Martin.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I think what we're looking at here is a situation
whereby you've now been lapped because you've had three great
regular seasons in a row. Yeah, and it's always what
catch how you're not gonna get over?
Speaker 3 (34:36):
And that Dak is he or is he not? That guy?
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Remember Dak's been in the league since twenty sixteen. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, right, we got I sold this last year.
This is his last year they did there the Cowboys
all in. We tell the all in means we're not
spending this year, and if nothing happens this year, it's
gonna be a different look. Quarterback, head coach all over
(34:59):
the place. Now is does it become the with everybody
winning around them? Mark Cuban is certainly gonna take another
victory lap for all he can get the TV show
rolling as we watch him descend into madness. I want
us about whether to spend sixty million dollars a year
on Dan Brescot.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
I how do we get the headlines? And what better
off signing the Lamb kids? And I want this, I
want a lie detector. Okay, no, no, no, no, gonna
be under the lights. No no, no no, he's with simple Wits.
No no, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
You can we get Dennis Franz out of retirement.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
There was a big story that you had a kid,
which no, no, no, I don't mean that.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
I mean what I mean strictly on how happy he
is for these teams.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Now he's with the Mark Davis thing.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
That's a big okay, uh, And just specifically to ask
questions about how happy he is that these other teams
are winning. So when he lies, there's a big buzzer.
So Jerry be sitting there and the question would say, Jerry,
the Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
In the NBA finals.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Look, they won it all a few years ago with
Durk Noovinsky there back here again, how do you feel
I'm incredibly happy for markuments No really shocked him. Question
it's it's it's great for Dallas. It's great for the
city of Dallas. And uh, I'm happy as a cow.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
But every time vin who's on the buzzer? Uh? Or
is it automatically triggered?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Who's on the buzzer? Dave Campbell was on the buzzer
all the.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Coaches, All the coaches who he's fired before are on
the buzz.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Everybody gets a turn night. Here's the next line of question.
Because you gotta have some random things. He shows that
he's watched movies he may or may not have liked. No, no, no,
it's a players or not. Because we gotta get some
We got to get a baseline to get the readings
as to his you know, his pulse and.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
All are fan bases don't compete with the other Dallas.
Stephen Jones is cranking it all the way up. There's
I am the captain.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Now they're just like in Princess Bride when he turns
it up to the pain threshold for Leslie.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
I'm turning it all the way up here, Jerry, turn
it up. Let's see how you do. No, I like this,
get this green.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
Yeah, I mean you're actually thing of putting him on
the lie detector that buzzes and I like this is
a whole other thing.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
But the rest of it. But you need the TMZ
cameras because they'll ask the tough.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
What that's just it? You get them feeling good? Was
it a good steaky? It's good?
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Hey, what the hell's going on? Like, what's your team
not competing like the rest of the other dolls.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Well, Jerry joneses a dinner in some sushi restaurant where
like you eat food off of real people, like you know, hey, Jerry,
did you see that Luca just scored thirty five the Magicum.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
That's a congratulations, that's that's fantastic. All right, that's great. Yeah,
that's great. I appreciate that.

shocking Lee. I guess we watched shockingly. We didn't watch shocking.
We watched shocking Lee English degree.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The Timberwolves stay alive by beating the Dallas Mavericks, and
the final few minutes unfolded unlike we thought they were
going to. We thought the Mavericks are gonna throw the
hammer down, but they couldn't make enough shots, and Anthony
Edwards and Karl Anthony Towns simply Hey, instead of folding,
they decided, we want to keep this going. And Karl
(01:22):
Anthony Towns hit three huge threes after having a horrible
first half in the final four minutes before he fouled out.
And then Anthony Edwards hits a couple of big shots.
He hits a fifteen footer. Hey, it's one where he
gets to the glass and goes in for a layup
with the ball high off the backboard. And those were
the big shots that really did it for the Tea Walls.
They're holding on to that win at the end. And
(01:45):
this is what really surprises.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Me is that.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Especially it's kind of a theme of this playoffs is
that I don't understand still why the best players of
on these teams are single guarded and the other team
doesn't try to get the ball out of their hands
at the end of a game.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I didn't get it at the end with the Pacers
and the and the Celtics, when not only did Rick
Carlisle not foul, he didn't he didn't try to get
the ball out of Jason Tatum's hands, out of Jalen
Brown's hands. We saw in Game two when they wouldn't
get the ball out of Luca's hand. Hey, you got
to get the ball out of Luca's hands. You can't
let him just take a take a jumper or the
(02:26):
end of game three. Rather, you can't just let him
be one on one with uh with Rudy Gobert is
as good a defensive player as go Bear is out
on the perimeter. Luca's gonna get his shot off, right.
We told you the stars are too good, and it's
no longer acceptable for a coach to say, okay, if
I have the star player and he's taking an off
balance three pointer, I'm okay with that shot. That was
(02:48):
years ago, but now the players are too good. The
stars make those shots. We watched Jalen Brown make those shots.
We watched Jason Tatum make those shots. We watched Luca
make those shots. So you can't just do that. You
got you have to be able to say say, hey,
we got to get the ball out of your best
player's hands. It's the one thing that I think Steph
Curry is going great because I always do that to me.
Because no team's gonna let Steph get shots off at
(03:09):
the end of a game because he's too small. They're
not gonam get big threes. They send defenders at him
and they make him pass out of it, and they
make him get the ball to somebody else to make
a shot. And while this isn't the Warriors team of
five six years ago, they're not gonna make him as much. Right,
Clay is not the same guy, They're not the same
stars can't do it like they used to. And watching tonight,
the Mavericks, who are a pretty good defensive team, allow
(03:32):
Anthony Edwards to get those shots off in the final
minute where he did exactly what you want to do
as a player. When he had the ball at the
top of the key, you could tell we're clearing out
for Anthony Edwards now. And he had a couple of
times where he took a couple of dribbles towards the
net and backed up because he wanted to see what
was the defense going to do? If I start going
(03:54):
towards the rim, What am I gonna see? Who's the
help defender coming over? What's gonna happen? Where can I
rotate if I have to find somebody open for a pass?
So you see him do it a couple of times. Okay,
I know what's gonna happen. And he's still single guarded.
He gets the rim for the for the the layup
off the backboard, and then he has the fifteen footer
where he steps back and hits it like still with
one defender on him, Like you have to get the
(04:16):
ball out of his hands, especially with Karl Anthony Towns
fouled out of the game, Like, I get it. Okay, Well,
we got a couple of guys and and Cat's been
hot and he's hit three threes even with guys on him.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
He is hitting heat check threes. But he's out of
the game.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You have to say, Okay, somebody else is gonna have
to hit this shot. We're gonna make Tom googly on
It hit this shot if the Timberwolves are gonna win, right,
We're gonna make Sam Cassel hit this shot if the
Timberwolves are gonna win. But instead, no, it's yeah, we're
gonna allow Anthony Edwards to get a shot off. And
I'm sorry, but having having a guy just because he's
fifteen feet away from the hoop with the ball, you're
(04:51):
okay with letting up like that's no longer passable in
the NBA. You can't do that anymore. And if one
thing we've seen this playoffs, you're talking about different themes
of stuff going on. That's a big one. Hey, can't
let start players get big get get big shots off,
even if it's off balance, even if it's on one
foot ten feet behind the three point line.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'll go back to the first round with the Knicks
series against the Sixers when Tyres Maxi has a ball
at half court and Tims is yelling foul, foul, foul
because he knows he's been red hot.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
He takes a shot from forty feet away and he
makes it, and.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
We go to overtime and the Nicks lose the game, like,
you can't let those guys get those shots off, and
nig were content with, Okay, we're not gonna let Anthony
Edwards pass the ball. No, you won let get the
ball out of his hands, have a plan to double
so someone else gets it, and then you're good enough
defensive team to rotate around and figure stuff out. But
yet we didn't see it, and Edwards hits both shots.
(05:42):
He's a great player, and that's why the Timberwolves are
going on. Even on a night where the Mavericks shot poorly,
they had a chance to win this game, they chance
to get back into it at the end, and instead, defensively,
they just said, yeah, we're gonna won on one guard
Anthony Edwards on the perimeter, which is an absolute gift
to the Minnesota Timberwe.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, made it look if he's gonna end up get
hot at that point. I mean, he finished three of
seven in the fourth quarter, including you know, as you
mentioned this shot that hit the glass, Well, that was
still a seventeen foot shot right kind of backed in,
came back out back into the lane, and then right
as the shot clock is expiring, he banks it off
the glass. For the Mavericks in that particular possession, there
(06:21):
ain't a whole hell of a lot you can do
any better. Even in the single coverage. You collapsed on
him as he got to the lane and he hit
a very difficult shot. The other one, yeah, out at
the perimeter, the twenty foot shot where you just joked goes, Yeah,
well there's one of those that they'll compare him to
Jordan right slidestep to the right, straight up and with
(06:43):
the the dagger. What would come to be, you know,
and this is you know, we had Mark Stein on earlier,
the Stein line where you find him look for his
sub stack columns and all. This is where I'll disagree,
you know, with the Lively absence. That's one of your
key defenders. Right, and we've watched the Timberwolves have problems, spacing,
(07:07):
problem shooting, problems moving the ball whatever. They're actually draining
shots tonight. Kat whatever the cause of it was, he
was dialed in in the second half, whatever went on
in that halftime speech, that's got to be one of
the greatest halftime speeches of all time.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
You know, you're getting ready to go home, right, right.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
And he comes out and hits for twenty points in
the second half. But the idea that you didn't have
another top notch defender, and for all we say about
Luca and getting better as a defender or and what
Kyrie's done at times, you didn't have Lively there. You
didn't have one of your bigs, you know, to work
on the glass or to create a little bit of
havoc if you did go into the lanes.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
So that part of it.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
But this is the first time that Towns and Edwards
actually hit shots because they've had opportunities. Right, That's the
one thing we could say about the series. Plenty of opportunities.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Like Edwards.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
You go back game by game you look at his
shot chart and there's a lot of white circles in
and around the basket, a lot of missed opportunities of
what should have been gimmes. Well, here he actually hit
a couple of big shots, and Towns finally hit his
three point shots. Meanwhile, the Mavericks offensively, I mean, PJ.
(08:23):
Washington was awful. It was a bad night tonight was
everything went, everything that could pile up into a big mess,
like losing a double header to the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You shoul said, losing a double head of the Marlins.
At least we're losing one of the best teams in baseball. Well,
they've been struggling and then they came back. We did
lose two out of three to the Marlins.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
So there was Well, Mike, when you're struggling, what's best?
What is the doctor order? Doctor orders the mets?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
The Mets.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I'd like one order of mets please instead of doctor
love you call today.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
What would you like for dessert? Another order of Mets please?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I'd like a little bit of Brett Bady in the field,
but just the idea that you have those games where
things that have gone wrong maybe on the margins slightly better.
And that's all it took for the Timberwolves to finish
this thing off. They didn't have any Rick Carlisle moments
and they actually hit a couple of shots when they
got some daylight.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Look, this is a series that's so far you can
pinpoint it like this. It's taken the Timberwolves too long
to figure themselves out in this series because Anthony Edwards
has not been good. He has a big game tonight.
Karl Anthony Towns has not been good, but he understands
(09:38):
he's got I got to have a big game tonight,
and he does. Even we had a bad first quarter.
But for the Mavericks this was I didn't get the
sense of urgency from them that we want to end
this tonight. And you know, and Mark Stein had a
great point when he joined us an hour ago and
he said, look, the big winners start of the Boston Celtics.
Because if I'm Luca, I definitely wanted to have nine
days off. I wanted to have more than a week
(09:59):
off to sit round between now and the NBA Finals,
And now you got one day getting ready for another game.
And now you're talking about a little bit less than
a week. If it comes down, you're gonna play another
forty five minutes, right, and you are gonna have some
time off if you win the next game. But now,
but you're also going back to Minnesota, and is Minnesota
and then you're talking about coming back Saturday, and now
it's even less time that you have to get going.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
But I just didn't get.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
That sense of urgency from them tonight, Like I didn't
get the sense of, hey, this isn't working, let's try
some other stuff. It was it was more, this is
how we've done it, and let's continue to do it,
even though hey, clearly this wasn't working tonight. You need
you need to figure something else out a little bit, Luke,
you needed to get to the rack a little bit more,
get to the free throw line a little bit more.
(10:42):
Kyrie needed to get to the rack a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Remember, also did miss a huge yes, and he did,
he didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And he look he did miss a big free throw.
But in the end, the Tea gouls hit, they hit
their free throws and and it wasn't like, oh, hey
they lost by two, and man, they just hit a
free throw.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
You know that would have happened. But it's so.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, No, they're just still so much there that that
the Mavericks I just never felt that, Okay, when are
they gonna for all you say about the Celtics and ah,
the Celtics don't play hard all the time. No, I
knew they were gonna close out Game four. I knew
they Okay, midway through the fourth quarter, the Pacers aren't
gonna get any more good shots, and Jason Tatum's gonna
start doing his thing, and Jalen Brown's gonna start doing
(11:26):
his thing. We find guys open. We're running the offense
exactly how we want to, and we're watching the Pacers
run around, and we're watching the Celtics very calmly, but
very forcefully in part their will on the game. And
I thought that's we would see from the Mavericks site.
But instead it was just more of, hey, let's get
down there and hoist some stuff up and see what
goes right. It was more let's just keep shooting, ep shooting,
(11:46):
keep shooting, and they needed to get to the free
throw line. They needed differently, need to change things up
a little bit more and find a different way, And
there was no adjustment. There was no something a little
bit different. There was no Kyrie's going to try to
get to the rack now all the time. There wasn't
any of that. And defensively, you had the non plays
at the end, and there's no wonder why this series
(12:07):
is now continuing to go on.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah, they shot terribly, Luca and Kyrie for the game.
I mean, there was no consistency, and Luca didn't make
a couple of big shots late. But I mean, I'm
showing you his shot shot chart from the game tonight.
A lot of open white circles inside the free throw line. Yeah, right,
going for the bank and too strong off the glass
(12:29):
or getting contested because you're going in amongst the trees.
They didn't swing the ball with the same verve as
it were that you've seen in the earlier games, right,
swinging passes to the open man, extra touches, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Like.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
It stalled and you saw a lot more standing around,
which had been one of the criticisms last season when
this duo got together and they went through the first
run and some of that had gone away for one night.
It returned in a big way in front of the
home crowd.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
And look the other thing too.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You talk about stats that stand out when you're missing
free throws, keep sending that team to the free throw line.
Keep sending them to the free throw line, like that
point the way to the basket, and send them the
free throw line when you're sixty percent from the free
throw line.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Hey, it's not their night, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Send them down there and it's one it's one point,
you know, or nobody send them down.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Add four falls. Nobody else on the the MAVs had
more than three. That's a lot of hammered the bank got.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
This was the low post.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
This was just a missed opportunity overall for for Dallas. Man,
I'll tell you, like I said, I give Minnesota a
lot of credit, but man, Dallas just gave this game away.
No sense of urgency. Exit out about a Fresca exit

Boom boom boom, boom boom Fox Sports Radio. The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon live from
the Tirerag dot Com Studios. Well, we'll get to maybe
the person who had the biggest night in basketball in
the second. But let me just say this, okay, because
it's really really hard tonight watching that Mets doubleheader against
(15:02):
the Dodgers and seeing them completely blow Game one in
incredibly heartbreaking fash The Mets find a different way. I
feel like I'm talking like Bill Walton. The Mets find
a day every day to break your heart. This is
what sports is. Errors in the eighth inning, they blow
the game in the ninth. It was just terrible.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
And this is thrown.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And now on top of this was Mets President of
Baseball Operations David Starts making big headlines today saying not
gonna trade anybody yet, still have time to see what
this team is. And the Mets go out and lose
a doubleheader like that to the apparently not apparently not.
Now what I'm hoping is this is the deal because
everybody's gonna go shopping in the Mets.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
They have guys on one.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Year deals, they have because their starting pitching has been okay,
and they have every day players that people are gonna want. Right,
everybody's gonna go shopping at the Mets of the devil.
To be fair, you are only six games out from
the Wildcard. Let's see we've we've gone. I'm like nine
and thirty in the last month and a half.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
It's closer to six. Terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I think it might be my fault. We were twelve
and eight at the top and what happened. I went
to the next game and since then it was the
ten to nothing game.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Did you not finish your helmet or something that looks
like the bad the Mets bad juju with the.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Squad or what the Mets were twelve and eight and
then they lost that game ten nothing, and they've never
been the same since.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I mean, they're terrible. They're absolutely terrible.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I don't know that Frostburg's ever gone after you like
like he did after that.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
It was because it was you're fallful, and I think
it was I think this tend just screwed everything up. Yeah,
you can take the think out. It wasn't And I.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Can't go to another game until the beginning of August
when they come to Anaheim.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
By then the season's over.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
But I might actually want to go to one of
those games. Man, it'll be easy to get in. Tickets
will be easy theory. In theory, I'll get trout, will
be back, I'll get to play for the or at
least come wave as a little hard.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
How quick you're getting your jersey mics and yeah, oh
yeah this so they'll bring it to me on the field.
We see time.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Second Baseman asked for a jersey mics for number two
with Turkey and Provo there.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
You should see if you can throw out a first
pitch at the stipulation that you get to wear a
g and I want to want to do is I
want to get a Mets hat and I want to
throw it at Lindor Can I do that?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Can I want to take the I want to throw
it right at him. Now, look, everybody's going the Mets
have so many players of people are gonna want but
to hear David start say, oh, we got to see
what the team is. Okay, here's your translation.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Number one.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yes, it is a long way to the trade deadline,
just because the Mets know.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
That we stink.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Other teams don't know if they're gonna buy or not,
like are we are we gonna be buying it the
deadline or not? So you're not gonna see the people
out there that you will the deadline. Hey, there there
may be you know, one or two teams now interested
in the player you have, but at the deadline, there's
gonna be four or five because hey we can buy,
we're five hundred.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
We're feeling good about getting the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Well, you also have several weeks where bad things are
gonna happen to players, right, I mean, look at Ronaldo. Now.
The fact of the matter is the Braves are deep enough,
strong enough going back into their farm system that they
can absorb such a loss without it affecting them too
terribly much. Most teams cannot, and which means maybe there's
another buyer or two for what the Mets have to sell.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
But this is the other part of it. Here's the
other part of the translation. The players the Mets want
to trade. There's only one problem. Oh, on problem, that's
one problem. There's only one problem. Most of the players
and Mets want to trade.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
One problem. That's it. Are you gonna say, oh? Or
the guys hitting it? There's only one problem.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Hit it with runners and scoring position. The Mets have
an ability to bunt.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
They haven't hit with runners in scoring positions nineteen eighty six.
It's it's so infuriating watching them hit with runners as well.
Just keep them going out, Dad. The base is loaded,
one out and a three to zero count in the
bottom of the ninth inning and they couldn't get a
run across.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Come on, man, I get the dut Dodgers don't need
any help. They're great, they don't need any help. There's
only one problem. One problem. One problem with the players.
One problem.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
And this is really something that each of you out
there across the globe, because they are a global entity
here on the iHeartRadio app, wherever you go.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The players, the Mets want to trade all stink.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
They all stink.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Alonzo's not hitting, Nemo stinks, Jeff McNeil stinks. Lindor if
they could get out from under that contract, he stinks.
They all stink. You can't trade guys who stink. Teams
would want these guys if they were hitting. Hey, it's
a bad season, but hey this guy's hitting. We can
plug him into our lineup. Why are we going to
trade you anything for guys who stink? Because they all stink.
(19:37):
That's the problem. Justin is that a record for the
number of times the word used.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
That's the problem.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
It's a compliment.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
They're just stink. I mean, why this is just it's
just it's disaster.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
And then you watch the Brett Bady play Once upon
a time, one of the we.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Don't have to brea if we had the Breadbabs, it's
it's a run for the Dodgers and we lose.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Now you got lucky. I can't because since it's a
Dodger play.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I would not have been surprised if he would have
been able to say, hey.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Chris hit it.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
This is where if the Mets had any say or
any sense of being cool, like at mlbshop dot com
or Mets dot com or eBay or Craigslist or Facebook,
Marketplace or Etsy or even stuff that's unlicensed, everything is
half price. Everything is half price the rest of the
year because they stink. Everything should be half price. Every
(20:36):
single thing they sell half price because they stink.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Now, I did hear a story where that's actually gonna
happen for a facility, I hope.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
So for one day, I hope. So one day and
one is it City Field.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
No, because you've got the Vancouver White Cabs and their
matchup against Inner Miami.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Okay, no, messy yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Basically like they're artificially out, but they're like, yeah, we
don't expect them to play. They've released statement, so concessions
fifty see I like that. So the ticket's already sold, right,
You've got fifty dollars, Like, you've got a huge stadium
full of people that are coming. So it's like, please
still come because we've got your ticket price now. Even
at fifty percent. We still with those markups. They're still profiting,
(21:21):
particularly when you buy a soda or something.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
City feels like dollar hot dogs, dollar hot dogs, dollar
dollar sodas, dollar hot dogs. I would still go. Hey,
there's lots of places I'll go for a dollar soda,
dollar hot dog.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I'm not sure. I don't care what it is. I
will go there.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Hey, here's a subterranean tunnel under the city and there's
people living there that haven't been seen the sun in
twenty years. They're dangerous and their teeth are sharpened. Why
would I go down there? Well, at the very end,
it's dollar soda and dollar hot dog. Oh, you give
me a flashlight.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I'm ready. I'm ready to go.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Man holistic, I'll go humanoid underground.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah boy, if they if they bite you, they'll infect you.
You'll turn into the undead. Oh yeah, but again dollar
hot don't wait. Did they have diet coke? Oh yeah,
they have diet coke. Oh, then I'm going. I'm going.
It was regular calling, diet coke and dollar hot dog. Sure,
what's my limit? No, I get as many as you want. Okay,
I'm ready to go, Ready to go. Don't you want
some armor or something.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
No, no, no, it's fine, I said, I'll go. It's
it's good, It's all good. Nowhere about it. I'll get
I'll get them.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
For these guys, I'll tell me, don't bite me and
kill me with your with your really sharp bogrod Harry
Potter teeth.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
No, no, no, don't bet. I'll be fine, be all good.
Many places I would go.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
I could have said, I could have said grip hook,
but I wanted to go deeper.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That'll. Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Now, while that being so, because now I feel like
this has been like a big therapy night for me.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Yeah, but I mean, your team stinks, so we probably
gave him more time than it deservedly. But it was
a bigger, bigger point about the trade deadline that even
if you know you suck, other teams aren't quite so sure.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I'm ansy to get rid of everybody, Get get rid
of everybody sitting praying that two or.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Three teams are on the fence and they just want
to prevent the slide.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
But again, they're gonna want good players, not guys who stink.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Okay, this is where you pay a consulting feet of
Scott Boris's crew.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I bet because you'll make those numbers look like you're JD.
Martinez is already whatever place he's renting in New York,
he's already said, Hey, yeah, listen, I want to give
my two month notice right now. What the end of July,
I'm gonna I'll pay I'll pay up through the end
of July, but then I'm gonna be out.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Well you're sure, Yeah, I feel pretty bad, pretty good
about that, Pretty sure. I feel pretty stark.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
There's another guy who really stinks that you're giving a
pass to.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Who sinks he's hitting like two ten. Lindor I told you.
Lindor stinks. I told you I want to throw the
first pitch at him.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
He stays, I wish I wanted to throw the first pitch.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I didn't even mention Edwin Diaz, who stinks out side.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
He can't.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Hey, dude, if games were eight innings long, the Mets
would be great.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
But I mean it's not, so we're not and they're not.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah. And at the basketball games were forty minutes, the
Lakers would be in the finals.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Well that's true. Yeah, you're right, you're right about that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
And if I were six one and a half, I
could get invited to the NBA Draft combine.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You'd be the dad, not Joey Gallop. So, speaking of basketball,
we had a big night tonight. As we talked about
Anthony Edwards having the night, sending the series back to
Minnesota for Game five, Caitlyn Clark best night of her
career in the WNBA so far. No, the Fever didn't
win Friday. It was better because they got a dope.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
They got a w.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
But Caitlyn Clark thirty three and three tonight, She's the
first thirty three and three rookie in the WNBA in
about eight years. They lost to the Sparks and again.
Next year's Fever team with Caitlin Clark and Paige Beckers,
is gonna be off the hook man. Just what pick
your poison?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Man? It's Luke and Kyrie. Who are you gonna stop?
You got? We got both of them got. We're gonna
be great.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
And if you go out to guard then then Aliah
Boston gets to torch you down low.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
You're in drama. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
No, Hey, the future is bright for the Indiana Fever,
But thirty points to night and look, you know me,
I don't like to say I told you so, but
I'll do it right here because I told you then
lady was going to have and how good she was
going to be, even better than I thought, because coming
into the season, Okay, she is gonna have a little
bit welcome to the WNBA moment, she's going to adjust
(25:24):
to think she's not going to as ridiculous. To think
she's gonna be intimidated, as ridiculous. To think suddenly she's
not gonna be able to score is ridiculous. But even
I thought, okay, once she gets a few games in.
This has been a horrible schedule. Seven games in the
first twelve days, and everybody's playing a lot of games
because you want to get ready for the n season tournament.
Then you're taking a break for the Olympics, and you're
coming back to finish the league. So there's a lot
(25:45):
of basketball coming up this summer, which is great for
the WNBA, great for the attention because you're talking about
the timing of Caitlin Clark coming in, when you're gonna
get women's basketball the most you've ever had. It's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Well, but just based on scheduling, you also had very
short layoff.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yeah, oh you did which is.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Not good for their you know, strength, conditioning, rest recovery
off of their normal river by Patamas.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
They'll get Tom Brady p twelve year, they'll be fine.
But here's Caitlyn Clark now at the time, and you thought, Okay,
she's gonna slow down a little bit. Instead, you are
now starting to see her get those threes off, get
through screens, get the ball work within the offense members.
She's coming into a new offense, and she is now
starting to play her game. Seven out of sixteen from
(26:31):
the floor tonight, you know it wasn't eight out of twelve,
but still thirty points leading the way. She has been
the best rookie in the league so far. And I
say this because no other player has no other player
not just rookie, no other player has a defensive attention
on them like Caitlyn Clark does. Angel rees can be
the rookie week that's great. She's a nice thirteen and
ten player, right, She's a good player. She can be
(26:53):
a star type player. She's a big personality. She's not
Caitlyn Clark. Nobody is Caitlyn Clark. That's just the way
it goes. And you watch tonight when who was it
from the from the Sparks hit her free throw, McDonald
hit her friend. She had a big game off the
bench of twenty. She hit her free throw and then
ran to Caitlin Clark for the inbounds right, Like my
job is to guard Caitlin Clark ever and go, hey,
(27:15):
you have another free throw? Like she's so preoccupied with
I am in Caitlyn clark shorts, making sure she's not
getting the ball that I forgot I had another free throw.
Nobody is getting that kind of attention. And still here
she is a handful of games in scoring thirty points.
Caitlyn Clark has adjusted.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
It's going to be her league.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
She's rising, She's raising everybody up. There's room for everybody
else to be stars.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
There is.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
So the world is wide enough for everybody, right, just
ra Hambilton. World's wide enough for everybody. But it's Caitlyn
Clark's league, and you're seeing her start to take over,
and it's just gonna be better and better from here
on out. She can hit shots from the log. You
can't teach that. You can't suddenly start taking shots going
I'm gonna work for somebody, someone that hits shots from
the logo, No you the Kennedy, you can't the game
she has. It's very Steph Curry esque. Getting used to
(28:00):
everything faster. She's been terrific. Don'll anybody tell you different.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Still needs to work on the turnovers, but that's more
again the offensive flow, and it's not to excuse it,
right decision making based on where you're at in terms
of communication and flow of your offense. She still wants
to push it instead of letting a possession set up
even if you don't need it right, you're not running
(28:25):
down a shot clock, You're not running to an end
of a quarter. So she had seven in this game,
but lived at the free throw line thirteen to fifteen.
She had three block shots, So the help d has
been good. Still chirpy as always in the files foul trouble,
I mean, she's orderline following out every game. So still
getting used to how games are called right, that flow
(28:50):
and it's all learning process for Angel rees. For Cameron Brink,
who had a very pedestrian game today twenty four minutes.
She was one of six from the field, just three rebounds,
three points. On the other side or fellow rookie Jackson,
she had twelve twelve and a couple of steals. But
it's just the idea of your learning. Right, it's another league,
(29:11):
it's another another process, like any job you take, like
the next year of school. Guess what it's new teachers
and all the veterans in the WNBA are looking to
teach lessons to the youngsters, no matter what your name is,
no matter what your resume is, and with if you
can be on the highlights shutting down Caitlin Clark, guess
(29:32):
what you won that day?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
And that's what a lot of players.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
There's gonna be a little extra emphasis there when we're
talking on the defensive end, and maybe once she comes
into the lane, maybe maybe you get a little extra
but she's not gonna back down, like that's just not
her makeup. So it takes time and hopefully everybody sticks
around for the ride that has jumped down the bandwagon
(29:57):
at this point, right, they're gonna expand the league. Another
couple of team memes here in short order, and all
of those announcements and folks waiting for it to fail.
You know, good luck to you find find some happiness
in your life.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Get a hug.
Speaker 1 (30:10):

(30:33):

I'll take it. That's fine. Could have done it all
night long with the Mets time. It's all good. That's
all good.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Carmen, Live for the TIREC dot Com Studios.
Now we we we actually got a break tonight with
Minnesota beating down. I know everybody wanted. Let's have the
Western Conference Finals over. Let's have nine days until I
have to watch an NBA game. Again, let every go
and go on vacation. Let's figure this out.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
He was ready to go, he had a four vacation.
He's like, hey, sweep him out.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
He was done. He was done. But we get the break.
But now a story we talked about over a week
ago we need to really get to and this is
the cameras office time. Maybe not more offic style, more
TMZ style, where the guy with the camera can ask
the pointed questions like TMZ does when they find you know, oh, hey,
(31:45):
here's uh, you know, Derek Fisher in the parking lot
at at uh at Pavilions.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Hey, did you get in a fight with Matt Barnes
over it?
Speaker 5 (31:56):
No?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Hey, you know he's loading like water into his car. No,
everything is cool. Everything is cool. Like we need the
TMZ cameras following Jerry Jones around as he has to
deal with the fact that every team in the Dallas
area in a calendar year of sports, yeah, is going
to play for a title except for the Cowbary.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
No, it's gotta be madness. I'm inside that mansion. He
already had the Rangers win, so we kind of blew that.
But it's okay because we didn't really know what was
gonna happen in the spring, but now you have them.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Now you have the Mavericks. Okay, the Mavericks loose, so
you have some time. We got a couple of days
now until the next game. But now the Mavericks are
likely going to go to the finals. The Stars are
up two games to one. They're just two games away
from going to the Stanley Cup Final. You gotta follow
that around and find out exactly just just watch him,
just go crazy and give excuses why the other teams
are winning and Jerry Jones and the Cowboys can't.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Well, the big.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Piece of it is then the brain Trust gets assembled
at all hours of the night, secret meetings, cldestined relations
here in the in the middle of the night, to
try to figure out exactly how they can upend others
championship group and dreams. And you know what that means.
(33:11):
Someone's getting a big oversized novelty checks Steven. I may
text you late at night for a meeting. Well, well
I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
I may text you, uh late at night to text
me that I could text you to call a meeting
so we can talk about and go over this. Because
now if the stars make it and the mass make it.
We gotta give DAK one hundred and fifty million dollars
a year. So you tell me who we gotta cut
and get rid of so I can give DAK one
hundred and fifty million dollars because I gotta take all
that attention away and and and plays it back on
(33:39):
the cap.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Bringing Zeke back wasn't enough. No, God, exactly that. I mean,
it's more than a ripple, less than a sply.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I got it. We gotta sign stallback. We got to
bring back Drew Pearson, now.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Herschel Walker, all these guys got Jimmy Johnson's got to
come back to coach well, we got to bring all
these guys.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Some might argue that would be the wise move.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Tony Hill is coming back. We're gonna get Tony Hill.
Kateman's gonna return.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
I'm gonna have him battled out with with Steve Walsh
for the number one job like he did when he
was a rookie. But legitimately, you're just in a position
of Maryland signed him too.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
You're winning thirty a year and you suck Errick Williams. Okay, No,
it's gonna grab him all alignment along the way.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
It's more funny if you said, I just jump in
Randy White, Harvey Martin.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I think what we're looking at here is a situation
whereby you've now been lapped because you've had three great
regular seasons in a row. Yeah, and it's always what
catch how you're not gonna get over?
Speaker 3 (34:36):
And that Dak is he or is he not? That guy?
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Remember Dak's been in the league since twenty sixteen. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, right, we got I sold this last year.
This is his last year they did there the Cowboys
all in. We tell the all in means we're not
spending this year, and if nothing happens this year, it's
gonna be a different look. Quarterback, head coach all over
(34:59):
the place. Now is does it become the with everybody
winning around them? Mark Cuban is certainly gonna take another
victory lap for all he can get the TV show
rolling as we watch him descend into madness. I want
us about whether to spend sixty million dollars a year
on Dan Brescot.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
I how do we get the headlines? And what better
off signing the Lamb kids? And I want this, I
want a lie detector. Okay, no, no, no, no, gonna
be under the lights. No no, no no, he's with simple Wits.
No no, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
You can we get Dennis Franz out of retirement.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
There was a big story that you had a kid,
which no, no, no, I don't mean that.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
I mean what I mean strictly on how happy he
is for these teams.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Now he's with the Mark Davis thing.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
That's a big okay, uh, And just specifically to ask
questions about how happy he is that these other teams
are winning. So when he lies, there's a big buzzer.
So Jerry be sitting there and the question would say, Jerry,
the Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
In the NBA finals.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Look, they won it all a few years ago with
Durk Noovinsky there back here again, how do you feel
I'm incredibly happy for markuments No really shocked him. Question
it's it's it's great for Dallas. It's great for the
city of Dallas. And uh, I'm happy as a cow.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
But every time vin who's on the buzzer? Uh? Or
is it automatically triggered?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Who's on the buzzer? Dave Campbell was on the buzzer
all the.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Coaches, All the coaches who he's fired before are on
the buzz.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Everybody gets a turn night. Here's the next line of question.
Because you gotta have some random things. He shows that
he's watched movies he may or may not have liked. No, no, no,
it's a players or not. Because we gotta get some
We got to get a baseline to get the readings
as to his you know, his pulse and.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
All are fan bases don't compete with the other Dallas.
Stephen Jones is cranking it all the way up. There's
I am the captain.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Now they're just like in Princess Bride when he turns
it up to the pain threshold for Leslie.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
I'm turning it all the way up here, Jerry, turn
it up. Let's see how you do. No, I like this,
get this green.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
Yeah, I mean you're actually thing of putting him on
the lie detector that buzzes and I like this is
a whole other thing.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
But the rest of it. But you need the TMZ
cameras because they'll ask the tough.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
What that's just it? You get them feeling good? Was
it a good steaky? It's good?
Speaker 4 (37:33):
Hey, what the hell's going on? Like, what's your team
not competing like the rest of the other dolls.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Well, Jerry joneses a dinner in some sushi restaurant where
like you eat food off of real people, like you know, hey, Jerry,
did you see that Luca just scored thirty five the Magicum.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
That's a congratulations, that's that's fantastic. All right, that's great. Yeah,
that's great. I appreciate that.
