You're the Mets. He wasn't here to commemorate. They flew
me over to the Knicks. They died. But let me
just say this. Basketball should be banned, should not be
a sport. Get rid of it, get rid of it.
I don't need I don't need it. I don't need it.
Just get rid of it. I don't think. I don't
(01:13):
think the world needs it. Not after that, I don't know.
World doesn't need basketball. Give me more, give me something else,
Give me more cornhole, give me more. Sure as hell,
ain't saying give me more football, Give me more. Pick
the disaster and train right that your squad's become their
I'd rather have Jags Titans every Tuesday Night than what
I saw tonight. You can ban basketball. We don't need it.
We don't need it, don't need a basketball Jags Titan
(01:34):
in their current form. Yes, Jack, we're not even talking Titans.
You know where Derrick Henry was running him up? No, no, no,
Chris Jaguars, where Fred Tayler was Maurice Jones drew. No, no, no,
give me give me Jags Titans its current form over that.
What went on tonight, Well, I mean you were obviously
missing Julius Randall. We don't need it. I'm no huge.
(01:57):
I don't need the sport. I don't need the sport.
I don't have closed out and some of that three point.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I don't need.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Looking forward to this game in the beginning of this
season more than any other knixt season, probably since the nineties.
And have it start like this, Well, Celtics just can't
bleep in mixed. Well, you know, teams normally start flat
after they raise the mans. They create ten threes in
the first quarters, and well, eventually they're gonna stop missing. No,
(02:24):
they stop missing. When they were going for the record
for most threes in a game, they missed their last ten.
All I had to do is at one of them
as Richard get fired for what he did. I'll tell you, man,
he never gets to take an out of shot. He's
one of nine from three point range, one of ten
for the game. You're the one guy that couldn't make
any I really, I mean, I mean you take him away.
It's an even bigger Barack. I can't even tell you
(02:46):
if tonight is the Knicks faulton. I can't even clearly. Defensively,
the Knicks can do things a little bit better. But
some of these threes hands in their face, like this
is a once in a lifetime. It's like, get to
see Lebron and Browny play together in a few It's
gonna be once in a lifetime. This twenty nine threes
on Opening Night by the Celtics against the Knicks and
a huge blowout win, like it's never I can't even
(03:08):
tell you. Did the Knicks look good? I don't know.
I know the Celtics looked awesome and they couldn't miss.
It's why we don't need basketball. We don't need it. Well,
it's fun because we know the style of game Thibodeau
wants to play. This is everything, but it's one hundred
and eighty degrees. The other way. Celtics shot eight free throws. Me, well,
they don't miss no, no, how are they gonna shoot
(03:29):
free throws when they're making The point I'm trying to
make is the normal Knicks game is we're gonna grind
you out for forty eight minutes. We're gonna play defense,
we're gonna close out. We're gonna fall the hell out
of you and make you earn every basket here. Hey,
what are you gonna do? I mean, come up one
thirty two, one oh nine. And it was never that close.
I mean the Celtics started the game with ten threes
(03:51):
in the first quarter and they were shooting up near
sixty percent until they missed. Really, they missed their last
ten threes as they were trying for the all time record,
which was twenty nine. They wanted to get great defense late.
They wind up tying the all time record, which was
said a few years ago by the Bucks for threes
in a game, with twenty nine. But the last five
(04:12):
minutes of this game, they were still hoisting up Pierce
because they knew they would. They were one short of
the record. The starters are on the bench. One more,
one more, one more, one more. But let me tell
you this, Okay, coming off, I mean, it was just
shot insane. How many sixty one, three and again, and
they missed their last ten. They were twenty nine to
fifty one, and then they went cold trying to make
(04:33):
that last one so good good you missed it. You
didn't make it good, you missed it. I'm gonna say
two things coming off of this game, all right for again. One,
you hate basketall well, okay, okay, three things. One, basketball
should be banned. We don't need the sport. It's done. Secondly,
and I'm gonna say this, this fourth quarter sets the
tone for the season because there is no way the
(04:56):
Knicks are going to ever forget the Celtics up big
in a night like this and all they did up
twenty five with five minutes left to go was keep
hoisting up threes for that record, I'm trying. You want
him to go to the Hardwark corner and a party
on the sideline. No, the party on the sideline that
we're We're still gonna keep shooting threes. We're gonna rub
your face in it. Okay, not gonna forget that. That's
(05:19):
gonna set the tone for this for these two teams,
for the whole seat you find your motivation. You don't
think that's because I think what you need to do
is look at the mirror and say, we sucked. We
got our ass kicked on a big national game, spotlight performance,
and we didn't bother to show up. We had all
off season of everybody genuflecting, come up, every move, we've made,
(05:40):
everything we've done twenty and then you sucked. You should
look internally instead of worrying about what the Celtics. I
don't think the nick sucked. First of all, I've watched
the game or two of basketball, which you don't sound
like you did. In the last couple of seconds when
a team is up by thirty and they're shooting threes
in the last five minutes. That pisses everybody off. It
goes good. But that's that's gonna carry over sports. That's
(06:02):
not gonna carry over white. I don't think so. You
don't think they playing again tomorrow. It is just part
of the seven game series right now. It's gonna set
the tone for the whole season. Of course, is they're
gonna be the next opponent because they got their ask. Way,
do you see the next game they each team is
gonna run to try to run the score up. It's
gonna be It's gonna be something the rest of this year.
The Knicks are not gonna forget that the least. Hey,
(06:24):
we're gonna party on the court against you on opening night. Yeah,
we're gonna keep taking threes, would twenty five. We're gonna
not that we're gonna do you want too, Not that
we're gonna take threes. We're gonna keep taking three point
or after three point or after we're not gonna, hey,
one more three we get the record. No, we're gonna
exclusively take They never got to the record. Rub Yeah,
(06:46):
and they were trying against it. They hit the thirtieth
They might have changed the way of went that you
had all these guys chucking from forty feet out missing everything. Yeah,
that's the basketball god saying, Okay, you're right, we're not
gonna let you do that. We're not gonna let you
do that to the That means those guys should never
have to shoot another three points shot? Again? Is what
that is? That you got too chesty? You watch this
(07:08):
is now a storyline for the entire season. Nick Celtics,
this game, the fourth quarter is now a storyline for
the trust to me, trust me? How far ahead of
the curve are we always telligent? This is trust? This
is going to be something that we watch play out
over the rest of the year, where they play in
the garden. How physical the game's gonna be. Jason Tatum's
gonna get a couple of elbows. It's gonna be physical,
(07:28):
it's gonna get chippy. Teams are gonna run set to
the league office play that next all watch watch for
dirty plays by the dirty rotten Knicks. And the biggest
thing and the second makes i'd say is Nicks is
still gonna win the title. It's opening night. What we're
gonna do? You just that you want to do a
polished basketball? Yeah, but they're not gonna listen to me,
So they're gonna play the game. So may have won
(07:49):
the championship. That's how it's gonna go. It was still
gonna win. They lost opening night on the road. The
Celtics had the ring ceremony. There's now they're not supposed
to make twenty nine three Again. That doesn't happen in
the end, but looksten also on a ring ceremony night.
Normally teams gonna suck after all of that, don't they.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I want to say oh, and I want oh, you
know what, I'm glad you brought that up because I
want to thank one person for this who made tonight possible.
I want to thank the one person who made tonight possible,
who made this twenty nine threes performance by the Celtics possible.
Thank you Steve Kerr for everything you did during the Olympics,
to Jason Tatum to allow him to start with fifteen
points the first quarter and it's five threes and everybody's
(08:31):
off to the races. Thank you, Steve Kerr for that.
I appreciate that. Not enough. You screwed the next when
Phil Jackson wanted to hire you like a decade ago,
and you said, nah, I'm gonna go to Golden State. Hey,
you win a Golden State. They're terrible. Oh that's not enough. No, no, no,
we're gonna make sure Jason Tatum is feeling it all
the dissing that happened to him in Paris, and you're
not gonna play and you're a DNP and you're an
(08:52):
NBA champion. I want to thank Steve Kerr for making
tonight possible for the Celtics. In fact, the Celtics they
should give him an ex to ring because on the
on the Ring ceremony night they played so well, let's
give an extra ring to Steve Kerr because they would
have not had this night with us. Well, but you
know he did. He didn't get a medal because that
was a big deal the other day. If you remember
the the joking back and forth of I don't think
(09:14):
you should get paid for doing your analysis, here's your hey,
here's your address, all of that, which they then tried
to say was a joke. Huh. But yeah, for Steve
Kerr motivation had all the Jalen Jalen Brown, I texted
him saying I felt bad for you. Yeah, yeah, no,
thanks Steve, Thanks for that thanks for Jason Tatum said, Yeah,
we're not coming off flat. We're gonna come out and
(09:35):
gonna completely kick the rap out of the next look at.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Looking at it.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I mean overall, they normally don't come out gangbusters, but
that you, defending champions do generally win the games at
about a seventy five percent clip. Going back to the
the as long as as we're hoisting titles. The other
thing was fun was the Missoula quote kind of talking
about the rings or whatever else and and where we're headed.
He goes, Oh, we're all gonna die anyways. Yeah, we're
(10:00):
all gonna die. So we're gonna die. So let's get ready.
Let's ready to play. Oh but you really picked me
right up. Let's go, coach. It's one game. The Celtics
were great. I can't even tell you the Knicks were bad.
Look defensively, could they like I said, could they do
a little bit better? Yeah? I think Tims is probably
just gonna take a little bit because you're trying to
get Bridges involved. And boy was I really happy Bridges
started making shots in the second half because that that
(10:23):
newfound jumper did not look good in the first one.
It was still lost. Whatever Jason Tatum did to fix
his jumper in the offseason, mcal Bridges did the exact
total opposite. I mean he was motivated. He took it personally.
I mean really, I watched it going. Uh, he's just
looking for a higher release point on his three. But
(10:43):
when a guy shoots differently from fifteenth, yeah, shoots behind
the arc, is like, what is happening? But but but
I can't even Nick shot. Well. Look, they were out
of the game early and the Celtics never let him
back in again. I can't even tell you if the
Knicks played bad or not. I mean even been in
the game. Should have played even fewer minutes with the barrage.
(11:03):
I think you see what I did there. I just
brought it right back. You're gonna taken all those guys
out at the end of the first quarter. Wouldn't have better.
It was forty three to twenty four after the first quarter.
They just wouldn't miss. I think Jerry Ceasting hit a
three at some point. Done cornbread. Maxwell had a couple
of big threes. Who else can we get the Brown
had a couple of threes. I see number seven running
(11:24):
around for the Celtics. And I still think it's d
Brown all these years later, still him. John Halichick hit
a three. Halichick stole the ball, stole the ball to
hit a three. It was insane. Uh, but look I
want to get it Chris Ford in or I can't.
Anybody else received Chris Ford. Uh. Look like like I said,
(11:44):
the Knicks they shot the ball. Well, they actually shot
the ball tonight. They shot better than the Celtics shot.
If this is what I mean, if you take away
that zero for ten, this is at halftime, the Knicks
were shooting better than the Celtics addiction fifth ffty eight
percent from the floor. The Celtics were shooting fifty five
and a two for three and the Knicks were down nineteen. Hey,
(12:07):
that's why basketball needs to be banned. You can't have that.
And for the game tonight, they shot, the Knicks shot
fifty five percent from the floor. They look good. They
were able to execute offensively and looking and Duce McBride
comes off the bench score twenty two. Okay, great, And
it doesn't matter because nobody could stop hitting threes. I
mean Jason Tatum and White, they were fourteen for twenty
two from the three from three, I mean it was insane.
(12:30):
I mean what I'm watching it going? How am I
gonna do what? There's no one now with Richard Daily
back when he was the mayor of Chicago when they
had that heat wave, I mean, what what what when
it's hot, there's no hot? What are you gonna do
with their own pallaces to happen here? There's no what
am I gonna say? They should catches? I don't know
what else to say. Eventually they're gonna miss right, not tonight.
(12:50):
That's okay, it's one night. The Knicks is still winning
the title. So it's fine night like this, but trust
dress play. Basketball is now banned. Yeah, yeah, we have
to find a cricket or something that we fought on
the show.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
All right, well listen, if they can't ban basketball, the
NIXT winning the title would be fine. So that's okay,
it's still gonna happen. It's still gonna happen, trust me.
Eighty one more games, one game. We got to pay
the jump shot. It's gonna be fixed any day. The
Knicks we're looking ahead to the Pacers on Friday. Oh okay,
they were completely looking past what it was that what
it was exit out a bout a Fresca exit swollen
(13:22):
dumb the Jason smithser with Mike Carmon. Let Express Employment

game two of the NBA season underway, Lakers and the
(13:42):
t Wolves. This will likely be because the Lakers said
it was gonna happen. JJ Reddick said, I'm going to
get Brownie James in the game at some point. Don't
know when it's gonna happen. Right now, midway through the
first quarter, Lakers out to an eleven to seven lead
over the t Wolves. Lebron's got four where we hatch
you more has five. So we'll keep going because we're
gonna see absolute history in the NBA when Bronnie James
(14:05):
checks into this game. Yeah, because Rui's still pissed off.
Remember when he got ejected from that Olympic game. Oh,
he's still shalty too, just like Jason Tatum. Everybody's man.
Thanks Steve Kurt the got thanks Steve Kerr for everything everybody.
Uh so again, we'll have more and kind of a
reverse hot take on Bronnie James coming up next. Plus
could we be on the cusp of two huge trades
(14:26):
in the NFL? That's next right here, Jason and Mike.

much for your support. Mike and I love putting this
content out for you every single night. So we'll get
back into the knicks in that abysmal basketball again. It
should be banned, but they're gonna keep playing it, so
(15:25):
we'll talk about it. It's a multi billion dollar business
unless you can get the gofund yourself to I don't
know about a ten billion dollars. I don't think it's
going It's like when Robert Wagner tells Doctor Evil. Last
year we made eight billion dollars alone. Eighteen fifteen. Lakers
lead the Tea Wolves right now, two and a half
(15:47):
minutes to go in the first quarter. So far for
Lebron James, he's got four. The Griffies are at this game.
Lebron James is going to play with Browny at some point.
I assume they will stop the game. They will do
some sort of thing when Bronnie checks in. I think
gonna do a whole parade of father's son. Anybody. Yeah,
let's start walking through Frosburg. Are you and Jackson going
(16:10):
to Aren't you guys supposed to be there? We decline, guys,
he declined on a half court I think they're just
gonna FaceTime in and you gonna want to take away
from Brownie's night? All right, all right, I mean I'd
like to see that though, it would almost feel like
a like a park in the Park game. Here's fathers
and sons. If you rot your child in the game tonight,
what about fathers and daughters? And Jerkson? I will have
(16:32):
that night another time, but I assume and look, Bronnie
is going to play. JJ Reddick said before the game,
gonna find a way to get him in tonight, he said,
I gotta get this over with. Now. Look, now there's
there's reading between the lines. There's good and bad to that.
But let's deal with the good part of it first. Uh.
You can have your argument about should Brownie be on
the Lakers? Should he not? Should he be in the
(16:52):
G League? Should he not? Would he be there? If
his name wasn't Brownie? Would he be on the team,
would he be in the NBA? Would he still be
in college? I get all of that, But tonight I'm
gonna be incredibly excited when I see him check into
the game because I'm never gonna get and we are
never gonna get to see anything like this again, seeing
(17:14):
a father and son playing an NBA game. It's been
thirty some odd years since we got to see Ken
Griffy Senior play with Ken Griffy Junior, right, and that
was only for a little bit. We saw it for
two years. We saw Ken Griffy Junior stealing fly balls
from his dad in the outfield a couple of times.
It was fun. A senior couldn't move, So welse? I mean,
look the thing with Broughton with Lebron is we may
(17:36):
see this for a little while because Lebron at thirty
nine is still a top player. I mean he's a
cyborg and we may see him with his grand kid.
So again, we may see this for US Captain America
seerum man, come on, but the first time we see it,
it's it's gonna be something because it's a benchmark, lifetime thing.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
So I want to say, I can't wait to see
what it's gonna be. How are they going to stop
the game? Is? I don't know. Is Adam Silver there?
Is he gonna walk out and take a picture, you know,
two of them? No, there's pictures of Silver with everybody.
Is that gonna be like he's in a commemorative plate
or something or here here's your set of spoons to
have your first game going on? Like I mean, I
can't like he's a baby is Lebron really is he
(18:19):
going to pass to him? Is he not gonna pass
up that point? Does Delonte West?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Come?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Come on, man, why you want to do that to Lebron?
Why do you want to do that?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Man?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And if anything, Delante West would be an in law. Okay,
so just that or or family. Yes, that blood is
thicker than water. Come on, man, this is everybody escalated quickly.
But to your point, yeah, I mean you can hold
the two thoughts and let him run in parallel. Right,
(18:58):
you could bemoan it. If you're a Baker fan saying
this is nonsense. You're an NBA critic and you're saying
this is crazy. This guy shouldn't get a shot again,
look around your circle and how many phone calls you
and texts and emails you may have made on behalf
of your your child. Hey, can he get an internship? Whatever? Yes,
he's getting paid here or whatever. It's good business, okay, whatever,
(19:22):
whatever you think of the playing style, and eventually he
will see what Bronnie James becomes as a player. If
you don't like the other part of it, then I
think you need to walk up and give somebody a
hug and just say let me, hug you for a second,
because your lack of humanity is showing, right, I mean that, like,
that's the other side of it. It's like, all right,
(19:43):
it's not like he's gonna be running out there twenty
five minutes a game unless he earns it right, nobody's
doing that. No, but look and understand the Lakers. Number one,
it's opening night. Can he come in and play a
couple of minutes at some point into the first half,
in the final forty seconds, because look, Bronni is a
pretty good defender. I don't think he'll get lost. I
(20:03):
don't think he's gonna cost him the game if he
plays for forty seconds at the end of the first half,
or if he comes in for you know, seventy five
seconds at the end of the third quarter. Now, if
he starts logging tons of minutes and suddenly, hey, you
know he's playing seventeen minutes, okay, Well, but if it
looks like that last preseason game when he was minus
thirty seven, yeah, but that's I mean, look, but for
the Lakers to do this, and remember what we've told
(20:26):
you about the Lakers for a long time now and
again this is why I say ahead of the curve,
because this is a take that we told you about
months ago that now people are starting to come around
to today and I've heard it and seen it today.
We told you that you're when you are the Lakers
and you're the Cowboys, you're in the business of winning,
but you're also in the business of relevance. And when
you can't win a championship, how are we going to
(20:48):
stay relevant? Jerry Jones knows the Cowboys weren't going to
win a championship, but he kept all the all the
attention on the Cowboys all offseason. We're not going to
pay for anybody going to do these crazy interviews here.
I'm paying Dak, I'm paying seed beginning of the year.
I'm gonna go threaten some radio guys jobs Like he
knows how to stay relevant because if the Cowboys aren't
gonna be good, they're still gonna be popular and a
(21:09):
story and they're still gonna be talked about the same thing.
The Lakers have realized the same thing. And once you
understand that, you get what the Lakers are doing. Look,
the buses know, hey, our team is kinda not set
up to win a championship because our best player is
thirty nine, and we don't have money in the cap
because we screwed it up by deciding we're gonna listen
(21:29):
to Lebron and ad by going to get Russell Westbrook
before that, you know, as our as our third star.
They know they're not gonna win. They don't have money
to bring anybody in. So what do they do. Let's
find a way to make headlines. They hire JJ Reddick,
which guess what main headlines? A guy with no coaching
experience outside of fourth grade basketball. We're gonna draft Bronnie James.
(21:49):
Of course, we're gonna draft Bronnie James. We're not gonna
win a title, but we're gonna be talked about. We're
gonna be a story. The Lakers and Cowboys always need
to stay the Lakers and Cowboy, whether they're good or bad,
they push the envelope and they're part of the conversation.
The Knicks were so bad for so long you forgot
that even existed. But now suddenly they're good. They're back.
There a story. But the Knicks were We're really after
(22:11):
the Isaiah Thomas years, it was just not a lot
of It's not bad. Even when they brought in Phil Jackson.
But it wasn't It wasn't front page news because these
teams understand how do we stay relevant? And the Lakers
knew we're gonna do this. Is this best for Brownie
that he's playing? Probably not? Should it be in the
G League? Yeah, the G League hasn't started yet. But
(22:31):
is it better for the Lakers if he's playing and
it's a nightly story for a while, Of course it is.
But of course it's a great story for the Lakers
start winning, so they will have this. Like we talked
about with Night one and trying to talk you off
the ledge with the Niggs, it's one of the eighty two.
So if tonight he plays three minutes, whatever, even if
you drop this game at home, say you drop it,
(22:53):
Oh my goodness, unless you could truly attribute it to
however many possessions he's on the court, So be it right.
It's part of the business of basketball. They decided to
do a solid how many fifty fifth picks and guys
even in the second round. Do you remember a few?
There's a few that have gone on to prominence and
Hall of Fame careers. A couple undrafted guys that find
(23:16):
their way through it and get their chance and suddenly
become stars. It's not unheard of, but it's rare. It's
the exception to the rule. So when we talk about
Brownie James getting the shot with the Lakers, they've already
made and printed cash out of this because it is,
after all, folks entertainment and still the business. I know
(23:36):
you want them to go eighty two to zero, and
this maybe offends your sensitivities as a basketball purist and
all that nonsense that folks want to do. Again, folks
help other people get jobs all the time. In this case,
you got the guy that folks argue is either one,
two or three depending why we want to bring Wilton
to the conversation or cap maybe four all time player,
(24:00):
and you brought him back. He's still playing at a
high level and you did a ma solid. Oh no,
the sky is falling. The horrors of that, like, like,
there haven't been rosters littered with guys like, hey, can
we get a ten day contract on that guy? Can
he play any minute? No, he's not gonna play, but
we need to put a warm body at the end
of the bench. They just happened to do it in
(24:22):
Game one. Yeah, and look, I don't think anybody's gonna
have a problem him playing a couple minutes here or there.
Could it get away from them, Yes, if suddenly they
feel like they have to play him in every game,
or he needs to get extended minutes, or Lebron is
unhappy with some of his teammates and says something like,
you know, you got guys on the bench. It could
maybe play some more minutes. You know. Then it could
(24:44):
get really ugly, right then, it could get really ugly.
But if it's managed, it's gonna be it's gonna be
not much ado about nothing, but it's it's gonna be
the lack of a controversy, and it'll just be attention
on Bronny playing with Lebron. Look at what happened last night,
Because the Lakers have, in one fell swoop, turn themselves
into must see TV again. Look at let's see Lebron
(25:06):
Yes thirty nine, it's amazing what he's doing. The Lakers
are still a big show. But Bronni played last night.
What happened? Did you see the behind the back path,
the two of them out on the break with each other.
Did you see this? Did you see him talking like
everything the Lakers do. Every game, people are gonna want
to see and fans are gonna want to know, Hey,
what happened with these guys last night? Did Bronnie play?
(25:26):
Did anything happen? I don't want to miss anything, right
that Fomo, you're gonna have you if you're not up
to date with what's going on with the Lakers. So
from that perspective, look, the Lakers have always been really
good businessmen and they understand that. All right, the focus, Yeah,
we're gonna try to win a title, and we hope
we can. We hope that JJ Reddikin unlock the Angelo
Russell and unlock Austin Reeves and do all these It's
(25:48):
not like they've stopped trying, but it's Hey, if we
brought Bronni in, that's gonna do something even more for
us than we would have elsewhere. And if we're not good,
we still stay top of conversation. We still say a
team that's talked about, we still stay the biggest draw
and the biggest story in the NBA. And when you
can't win a championship, that's what teams want. They don't
(26:08):
want to win. But if I can't win, but I
want to be talked about and that's what the Lakers
are achieving. But it's it's October twenty second. You're not
winning a title tonight, right, the team that won the
last title tonight. But they won one game, but they
celebrated the one that they did win. And I'm pretty
sure the Celtics cheated. I just have to find out
how our good you think they their scope and guide
(26:32):
to help them. They all had a chip and planet
that a triangulate things. They had the magnet basketball. You
heard about that, right, the magnet that gets drawn to
the draws. Right, So it's just gonna go off, is
just gonna go through the hoop. But I just have
to get the basketballs and cut them op out of
Live TV like Slate Gate on a whole other level,
like Geraldo, I'm gonna go in Alcapa, I'm gonna I'm
(26:52):
gonna cutts. I'm gonna cut this bathroom all in half.
Look at the chip inside. It's a magnet. And if
I can't find a man, wow, then I could figure
someone else out. That was one of the greatest nights
of television ever. All the anticipation that, well, we have
a couple of broken beer bottles and some this might
have been paperwork. Let's speculate about what it might have been.
(27:13):
But here's here's your dates. Honus Wagner baseball card. Wagner, Yeah,
what who the hell is that guy? Yeah? You put
him in the walls, in the wallpaper you have obviously
the start of the season, oh, October twenty sixth, the
G League Draft October twenty eighth, through the November seventh,
the G League training camps, and then opening day is
(27:35):
seventh and eighth. So this is gonna last very long
unless he comes in and sets the house on fire,
right in terms of playing really well and being a
spark plug, which on some level I hope it is,
because I hope it extends the conversation, especially for those
that want to hate. In the end, I'm kind of
like the Tommy Lee Jones line we've run from the Fugitive.
(27:59):
I don't care. It's one of dating two. The human
side of me loves it all basketball side. Okay, it's
gonna get done here in short order, but no title
was being won tonight, So anybody that's mad, they do
it on opening night again. The pomp and circumstance, the
pageantry of it all the Griffies and whatever other father's
son combos they trot out. Get over yourselves. It's look,
(28:23):
it's a fun night. This will be something that plays out.
People are gonna love it, people are gonna hate it.
But understand, this is how the Lakers have to operate.
Oh you know how you have to operate. You know,
I can make them forget about this how bullpen games.
There you go, I got you America exit out about
a Fresco exit swelling down the Jason Smithsonow with Mike
(28:45):
Carmon live from the Tirack dot Com studios. So here
we could be at a very big moment right now
because the Tea Wolves have taken the lead over the
Lakers twenty three twenty two end of the first quarter,
Edward's with eight points to lead the t no surprise.
We could be seeing Bronni James check in to start
(29:06):
the second quarter. So we might need just a couple
of moments away from seeing history in the NBA start
of the second quarter, we could see father son playing
lebron and Bronny. The Griffis are there. We just saw
cutaways to them. I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure Kangrif
Senior is going, why are we here? Can we just leave?
(29:26):
Can we just go home? I just want to go home.
But first we're getting an on court interview with Miles
with Chris Finch, head coach of the Timberwolves, because we
need to know this what's going in here going into
the second quarter. So that's where we're at right now,
the second quarters about to begin. Bronnie James has not
checked into the game yet, but again the plan was
potentially to see him early here in the second quarter.
(29:49):
We may see him the next couple of minutes. Lebron
is on the floor to start the second quarter, So
you know, as long as Lebron is in, because they're
not gonna have Bronni check in with Lebron not in
the game, he will check in for the first I
am sure with Lebron there. So twenty four to twenty three,
Lakers with the lead over Minnesota, eleven and a half
to go in the second quarter. We got more coming
up in ninety seconds. But first, Kevin Wire's got what's
(30:12):
trending in the wide world of sports, Kate doub Yeah,
all eyes on Los Angeles as many anticipating the debut
of Bronny James. The reports had speculated that it would
be in the second quarter when he'd make his debut.
We've not seen him yet, but Lebron out there for
the Lakers as they're trailing the Timberwolves twenty six to
twenty four, about eleven minutes ago in the second quarter,
(30:34):
leading the way for the Lakers so far. Ruey Ha Chamorrow.
He's got himself seven points on three of four shooting.
The ant man the top of the score sheet for
the Timberwolves as Edwards has eight points. He is three
of five shooting so far. Earlier tonight, Celtics and Nix
in Boston to open up the season of the defending champions,
(30:55):
picking up right where they left off. This one was
not much of a contest at all. This game was
over for much of the last three quarters. I would
say as Boston wins, it won thirty two. It was
over when they tipped the ball off Kevin Winter. They
tipped it off and it went in for three points.
That's how bad it was here. Jason Tatum had twenty
five points at the half, had thirty seven overall on
(31:17):
the game fourteen. I heard Keevin Yeah, thirty seven points
on fourteen of eighteen, shooting eight of eleven from beyond
the three point arc, and three of the five Celtics
starters scored twenty points. Derek White had twenty four, Jalen
Brown had twenty three, and Jalen Brunson led the way
with twenty two points for New York, but they struggled
(31:37):
from beyond the three point line eleven of thirty shooting
from long range. Back to you guys, Thank you Kate.
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmen

Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon live from the tie rack dot Com Studios.
No Bronni James yet. Seven thirty four to go in
the second quarter. Lebron still in the game for the Lakers.
They have a thirty seven to twenty nine lead, although
it looks like Lebron is checking out of the game
right now. Got tangled up on the last played down court.
(33:19):
He is holding his elbow, his right elbow, getting some
high fives. He checks out of the game, sits down
at the end of the bench. So maybe Bronny James's
debut is gonna get postponed a little bit here again,
seven and a half to go on the second quarter,
Lebron just comes to the game, was going down court
and was looking for position, got tangled up, fell looks
(33:39):
like he hit his arm and checks himself out of
the game, but doesn't look like he's being looked at.
It's like he's sitting at the end of the bench
right now rubbing his sleeved arm. And we will have
an update on that for you as we come on.
It was an odd posture though, as he walked off
the court, kind of like the arm just kind of dangling. Yeah,
he was liking high fives to his teammates and he
(34:00):
was reaching over with his left hand like, hey, hang
on a second, it's broken. Oh it's broken, something like that. Yeah,
what I did find interesting, right well, we didn't get
the browny check in at the start of the second quarter.
We got Dalton connect and all he did was like
he was magnetically drawn, you know, like the basketball was
in your Nick Celtic game to the corners, where he
(34:21):
just kind of stayed until it was time to run back,
like there was a release when it was potentially needing
to go back and play defense. Otherwise he just slumped
into the corners and didn't move. Just give me the
ball here, just give me the moving I'm setting up.
I'm gonna shoot. But old school Steve Kerr John Packson
got it. God, guys, I'm in my spot. I've come on.
What are you doing? All right? So again ten point
(34:43):
lead for the Lakers now midway through the second quarter.
We will have more on this game coming up again.
As soon as Brownie James does check in for this
historic moment, we will let you know again. I can't
wait for it. It's gonna be exciting, it's gonna be fun,
and I didn't find people are gonna hate it because
we'll find a way to hate everything. You know tonight
when you don't when you don't see something for thirty years,
(35:06):
I kind of like to see that. I'm not gonna
say yeah, and I don't want that, Like, hey, do
you want to go see that? You're never gonna see
an eclipse like this? Remember the eclipse a few months ago?
You had like seven pairs of last clips. I don't
want to see the eclipse. Why am I going outside
to see the eclipse? Because you may never see it
again in your life? What do I want to see
an eclipse for okay, all right, that's fine. Well, but
I mean you could care about stuff like that or not. Likewise, here,
(35:29):
you know, if you're a basketball fan, you know, or
a human being, maybe this one would appeal to you.
You know, you could play all the great father Son
songs of all time and have some fun with sure,
but you know, again, the humanity of it all. We
talk about the emotions. I am old. It's not your fault.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Oh nice, yeah, okay, cry, saddle down, you can get married,
oh of that.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
So there's very young at your fault. Very few songs
that make me cry when I hear it, or that.
I don't want to hear that ever again. No, never
want to hear that again. Whatever. I grew up with that,
but that was part of my dad's repertory. Throw that.
Don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear
slipping through your fingers by Abba. No no, no, that's
a good one. Don't want to hear the Christmas shoes.
Don't want to hear that. Christmas a good one. Don't
(36:20):
want to hear that. No, no, no, don't want that
aside for the Christmas. No, no, no, no, no, it's
over in the corner thawing out next to Mariah Carey
getting ready song songs. I don't want to hear never
want to hear any of those again. Oh yeah. All
of that to say, like, just enjoy it. Yeah, And
if you don't like it, like Kevin Durant always said,
don't want Jason. Does it make you happy to see
(36:41):
Divad Shenzo struggling like this, I would say happy. It
gives me a little. He's really sucking though. Minus eleven, Yeah,
he's minus well, listen, the Timberwolves as a team is
minus eleven. Yeah. The Lakers are on a seventeen to two, right,
nineteen to two rid of layups right now, if it's
a layup line, I have a fifteen point lead over
the Tea Wolves here at midway through. The points in
(37:02):
the paint are absolutely killing it. I will say this,
I love Devincenzo. I love what he brought to the
Knicks last year. It sucked they had to trade him,
it really did. But when he just hits the side
of the backboard on a three like he just did,
and I realize how badly the Knicks lost to Night, yeah,
I'm okay with it. And then ye tight tightne. I
(37:22):
wasn't talking to you, Brunson, I was talking to Tips.
I wasn't talking to you, man, I was talking to Tims.
You want to fight out? Fuck a't so bad now?
Right now, it's the perfect time to put Browni in.
Oh man, let's get you a couple of minutes because
we're not going to give up this lead. Because we're
beating the hell out of these guys. I would say this,
there's five minutes now, let's just let's just play a
little let's just play a little uh game planner here
(37:45):
a JJ reddick. There's under five minutes ago in the
first half. This first half has gone about as well
as the Lakers could have expected it too. Again, they
are thumping Minnesota right now, and you're only shooting twenty
percent from three point range. He is a nineteen to
two run. You got Hatchimora and Davis with eleven and
ten each. Hayes has six off the bench, Connect already
(38:06):
has five off the bench in eight minutes. This is
as good a start as you could possibly imagine. Lebron
doesn't look like he's coming back in the game soon.
He's got the he's got the blue long sleeve on
the black long sleeve on. So I would assume they're
gonna check in together the next time. Uh, and maybe
it's gonna be both them at the scorer's table. They
(38:27):
both take their uniforms on. Whatever it's gonna be, and
it's gonna be a thing. Take you off, boy, Lebron's
checking in with no shirt on. How about that that
body buzz does Browny do the chalk? Oh? I think
they both do the chalk together. I think Lebron that's true.
That's a bridge shoe far Bron off before you checking
in together, have it done, and then they throw it
(38:48):
up with like the Wonder powers. It's check to eight.
I would assume Lebron's not being looked at again, he
banged his his arm coming off the floor. He's not
being looked at. He's got his he's got his long sleep.
Four and a half minutes to go, when the Lakers
are up nineteen, I would assume what's going to happen
is this again, just assuming bron Lebron stays out, and
(39:10):
then somewhere around the minute mark, with a minute to
go before halftime, Lebron and Bronny check into the game
and they play the final minute of the first half together, right,
because that's normally when you see the look, you want
to keep guys from getting fouls and of the bench
guys come in a couple of seconds. Here, that's a
perfect chance to get Lebron and Browny in a game. Hey,
it's a minute. We get over with and then we
(39:30):
can concentrate on the game. Will Smith and his kid
gonna do the halftime?
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Sure, yeah, with the Griffies, they're all going to do
something together. Yes, they're all gonna do us long again.
And even though they're not father and son, can we
just get kid in place so you do the dance?
Everybody say, oh, his kid is gonna slap Chris Rock's kid.
So we could have history coming up, but we know
what we do have. We could potentially be on the
(39:54):
cusp of two big trades in the NFL. Oh, it's happening.
It's happening. Now have

You're the Mets. He wasn't here to commemorate. They flew
me over to the Knicks. They died. But let me
just say this. Basketball should be banned, should not be
a sport. Get rid of it, get rid of it.
I don't need I don't need it. I don't need it.
Just get rid of it. I don't think. I don't
(01:13):
think the world needs it. Not after that, I don't know.
World doesn't need basketball. Give me more, give me something else,
Give me more cornhole, give me more. Sure as hell,
ain't saying give me more football, Give me more. Pick
the disaster and train right that your squad's become their
I'd rather have Jags Titans every Tuesday Night than what
I saw tonight. You can ban basketball. We don't need it.
We don't need it, don't need a basketball Jags Titan
(01:34):
in their current form. Yes, Jack, we're not even talking Titans.
You know where Derrick Henry was running him up? No, no, no,
Chris Jaguars, where Fred Tayler was Maurice Jones drew. No, no, no,
give me give me Jags Titans its current form over that.
What went on tonight, Well, I mean you were obviously
missing Julius Randall. We don't need it. I'm no huge.
(01:57):
I don't need the sport. I don't need the sport.
I don't have closed out and some of that three point.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I don't need.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Looking forward to this game in the beginning of this
season more than any other knixt season, probably since the nineties.
And have it start like this, Well, Celtics just can't
bleep in mixed. Well, you know, teams normally start flat
after they raise the mans. They create ten threes in
the first quarters, and well, eventually they're gonna stop missing. No,
(02:24):
they stop missing. When they were going for the record
for most threes in a game, they missed their last ten.
All I had to do is at one of them
as Richard get fired for what he did. I'll tell you, man,
he never gets to take an out of shot. He's
one of nine from three point range, one of ten
for the game. You're the one guy that couldn't make
any I really, I mean, I mean you take him away.
It's an even bigger Barack. I can't even tell you
(02:46):
if tonight is the Knicks faulton. I can't even clearly. Defensively,
the Knicks can do things a little bit better. But
some of these threes hands in their face, like this
is a once in a lifetime. It's like, get to
see Lebron and Browny play together in a few It's
gonna be once in a lifetime. This twenty nine threes
on Opening Night by the Celtics against the Knicks and
a huge blowout win, like it's never I can't even
(03:08):
tell you. Did the Knicks look good? I don't know.
I know the Celtics looked awesome and they couldn't miss.
It's why we don't need basketball. We don't need it. Well,
it's fun because we know the style of game Thibodeau
wants to play. This is everything, but it's one hundred
and eighty degrees. The other way. Celtics shot eight free throws. Me, well,
they don't miss no, no, how are they gonna shoot
(03:29):
free throws when they're making The point I'm trying to
make is the normal Knicks game is we're gonna grind
you out for forty eight minutes. We're gonna play defense,
we're gonna close out. We're gonna fall the hell out
of you and make you earn every basket here. Hey,
what are you gonna do? I mean, come up one
thirty two, one oh nine. And it was never that close.
I mean the Celtics started the game with ten threes
(03:51):
in the first quarter and they were shooting up near
sixty percent until they missed. Really, they missed their last
ten threes as they were trying for the all time record,
which was twenty nine. They wanted to get great defense late.
They wind up tying the all time record, which was
said a few years ago by the Bucks for threes
in a game, with twenty nine. But the last five
(04:12):
minutes of this game, they were still hoisting up Pierce
because they knew they would. They were one short of
the record. The starters are on the bench. One more,
one more, one more, one more. But let me tell
you this, Okay, coming off, I mean, it was just
shot insane. How many sixty one, three and again, and
they missed their last ten. They were twenty nine to
fifty one, and then they went cold trying to make
(04:33):
that last one so good good you missed it. You
didn't make it good, you missed it. I'm gonna say
two things coming off of this game, all right for again. One,
you hate basketall well, okay, okay, three things. One, basketball
should be banned. We don't need the sport. It's done. Secondly,
and I'm gonna say this, this fourth quarter sets the
tone for the season because there is no way the
(04:56):
Knicks are going to ever forget the Celtics up big
in a night like this and all they did up
twenty five with five minutes left to go was keep
hoisting up threes for that record, I'm trying. You want
him to go to the Hardwark corner and a party
on the sideline. No, the party on the sideline that
we're We're still gonna keep shooting threes. We're gonna rub
your face in it. Okay, not gonna forget that. That's
(05:19):
gonna set the tone for this for these two teams,
for the whole seat you find your motivation. You don't
think that's because I think what you need to do
is look at the mirror and say, we sucked. We
got our ass kicked on a big national game, spotlight performance,
and we didn't bother to show up. We had all
off season of everybody genuflecting, come up, every move, we've made,
(05:40):
everything we've done twenty and then you sucked. You should
look internally instead of worrying about what the Celtics. I
don't think the nick sucked. First of all, I've watched
the game or two of basketball, which you don't sound
like you did. In the last couple of seconds when
a team is up by thirty and they're shooting threes
in the last five minutes. That pisses everybody off. It
goes good. But that's that's gonna carry over sports. That's
(06:02):
not gonna carry over white. I don't think so. You
don't think they playing again tomorrow. It is just part
of the seven game series right now. It's gonna set
the tone for the whole season. Of course, is they're
gonna be the next opponent because they got their ask. Way,
do you see the next game they each team is
gonna run to try to run the score up. It's
gonna be It's gonna be something the rest of this year.
The Knicks are not gonna forget that the least. Hey,
(06:24):
we're gonna party on the court against you on opening night. Yeah,
we're gonna keep taking threes, would twenty five. We're gonna
not that we're gonna do you want too, Not that
we're gonna take threes. We're gonna keep taking three point
or after three point or after we're not gonna, hey,
one more three we get the record. No, we're gonna
exclusively take They never got to the record. Rub Yeah,
(06:46):
and they were trying against it. They hit the thirtieth
They might have changed the way of went that you
had all these guys chucking from forty feet out missing everything. Yeah,
that's the basketball god saying, Okay, you're right, we're not
gonna let you do that. We're not gonna let you
do that to the That means those guys should never
have to shoot another three points shot? Again? Is what
that is? That you got too chesty? You watch this
(07:08):
is now a storyline for the entire season. Nick Celtics,
this game, the fourth quarter is now a storyline for
the trust to me, trust me? How far ahead of
the curve are we always telligent? This is trust? This
is going to be something that we watch play out
over the rest of the year, where they play in
the garden. How physical the game's gonna be. Jason Tatum's
gonna get a couple of elbows. It's gonna be physical,
(07:28):
it's gonna get chippy. Teams are gonna run set to
the league office play that next all watch watch for
dirty plays by the dirty rotten Knicks. And the biggest
thing and the second makes i'd say is Nicks is
still gonna win the title. It's opening night. What we're
gonna do? You just that you want to do a
polished basketball? Yeah, but they're not gonna listen to me,
So they're gonna play the game. So may have won
(07:49):
the championship. That's how it's gonna go. It was still
gonna win. They lost opening night on the road. The
Celtics had the ring ceremony. There's now they're not supposed
to make twenty nine three Again. That doesn't happen in
the end, but looksten also on a ring ceremony night.
Normally teams gonna suck after all of that, don't they.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I want to say oh, and I want oh, you
know what, I'm glad you brought that up because I
want to thank one person for this who made tonight possible.
I want to thank the one person who made tonight possible,
who made this twenty nine threes performance by the Celtics possible.
Thank you Steve Kerr for everything you did during the Olympics,
to Jason Tatum to allow him to start with fifteen
points the first quarter and it's five threes and everybody's
(08:31):
off to the races. Thank you, Steve Kerr for that.
I appreciate that. Not enough. You screwed the next when
Phil Jackson wanted to hire you like a decade ago,
and you said, nah, I'm gonna go to Golden State. Hey,
you win a Golden State. They're terrible. Oh that's not enough. No, no, no,
we're gonna make sure Jason Tatum is feeling it all
the dissing that happened to him in Paris, and you're
not gonna play and you're a DNP and you're an
(08:52):
NBA champion. I want to thank Steve Kerr for making
tonight possible for the Celtics. In fact, the Celtics they
should give him an ex to ring because on the
on the Ring ceremony night they played so well, let's
give an extra ring to Steve Kerr because they would
have not had this night with us. Well, but you
know he did. He didn't get a medal because that
was a big deal the other day. If you remember
the the joking back and forth of I don't think
(09:14):
you should get paid for doing your analysis, here's your hey,
here's your address, all of that, which they then tried
to say was a joke. Huh. But yeah, for Steve
Kerr motivation had all the Jalen Jalen Brown, I texted
him saying I felt bad for you. Yeah, yeah, no,
thanks Steve, Thanks for that thanks for Jason Tatum said, Yeah,
we're not coming off flat. We're gonna come out and
(09:35):
gonna completely kick the rap out of the next look at.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Looking at it.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I mean overall, they normally don't come out gangbusters, but
that you, defending champions do generally win the games at
about a seventy five percent clip. Going back to the
the as long as as we're hoisting titles. The other
thing was fun was the Missoula quote kind of talking
about the rings or whatever else and and where we're headed.
He goes, Oh, we're all gonna die anyways. Yeah, we're
(10:00):
all gonna die. So we're gonna die. So let's get ready.
Let's ready to play. Oh but you really picked me
right up. Let's go, coach. It's one game. The Celtics
were great. I can't even tell you the Knicks were bad.
Look defensively, could they like I said, could they do
a little bit better? Yeah? I think Tims is probably
just gonna take a little bit because you're trying to
get Bridges involved. And boy was I really happy Bridges
started making shots in the second half because that that
(10:23):
newfound jumper did not look good in the first one.
It was still lost. Whatever Jason Tatum did to fix
his jumper in the offseason, mcal Bridges did the exact
total opposite. I mean he was motivated. He took it personally.
I mean really, I watched it going. Uh, he's just
looking for a higher release point on his three. But
(10:43):
when a guy shoots differently from fifteenth, yeah, shoots behind
the arc, is like, what is happening? But but but
I can't even Nick shot. Well. Look, they were out
of the game early and the Celtics never let him
back in again. I can't even tell you if the
Knicks played bad or not. I mean even been in
the game. Should have played even fewer minutes with the barrage.
(11:03):
I think you see what I did there. I just
brought it right back. You're gonna taken all those guys
out at the end of the first quarter. Wouldn't have better.
It was forty three to twenty four after the first quarter.
They just wouldn't miss. I think Jerry Ceasting hit a
three at some point. Done cornbread. Maxwell had a couple
of big threes. Who else can we get the Brown
had a couple of threes. I see number seven running
(11:24):
around for the Celtics. And I still think it's d
Brown all these years later, still him. John Halichick hit
a three. Halichick stole the ball, stole the ball to
hit a three. It was insane. Uh, but look I
want to get it Chris Ford in or I can't.
Anybody else received Chris Ford. Uh. Look like like I said,
(11:44):
the Knicks they shot the ball. Well, they actually shot
the ball tonight. They shot better than the Celtics shot.
If this is what I mean, if you take away
that zero for ten, this is at halftime, the Knicks
were shooting better than the Celtics addiction fifth ffty eight
percent from the floor. The Celtics were shooting fifty five
and a two for three and the Knicks were down nineteen. Hey,
(12:07):
that's why basketball needs to be banned. You can't have that.
And for the game tonight, they shot, the Knicks shot
fifty five percent from the floor. They look good. They
were able to execute offensively and looking and Duce McBride
comes off the bench score twenty two. Okay, great, And
it doesn't matter because nobody could stop hitting threes. I
mean Jason Tatum and White, they were fourteen for twenty
two from the three from three, I mean it was insane.
(12:30):
I mean what I'm watching it going? How am I
gonna do what? There's no one now with Richard Daily
back when he was the mayor of Chicago when they
had that heat wave, I mean, what what what when
it's hot, there's no hot? What are you gonna do
with their own pallaces to happen here? There's no what
am I gonna say? They should catches? I don't know
what else to say. Eventually they're gonna miss right, not tonight.
(12:50):
That's okay, it's one night. The Knicks is still winning
the title. So it's fine night like this, but trust
dress play. Basketball is now banned. Yeah, yeah, we have
to find a cricket or something that we fought on
the show.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
All right, well listen, if they can't ban basketball, the
NIXT winning the title would be fine. So that's okay,
it's still gonna happen. It's still gonna happen, trust me.
Eighty one more games, one game. We got to pay
the jump shot. It's gonna be fixed any day. The
Knicks we're looking ahead to the Pacers on Friday. Oh okay,
they were completely looking past what it was that what
it was exit out a bout a Fresca exit swollen
(13:22):
dumb the Jason smithser with Mike Carmon. Let Express Employment

game two of the NBA season underway, Lakers and the
(13:42):
t Wolves. This will likely be because the Lakers said
it was gonna happen. JJ Reddick said, I'm going to
get Brownie James in the game at some point. Don't
know when it's gonna happen. Right now, midway through the
first quarter, Lakers out to an eleven to seven lead
over the t Wolves. Lebron's got four where we hatch
you more has five. So we'll keep going because we're
gonna see absolute history in the NBA when Bronnie James
(14:05):
checks into this game. Yeah, because Rui's still pissed off.
Remember when he got ejected from that Olympic game. Oh,
he's still shalty too, just like Jason Tatum. Everybody's man.
Thanks Steve Kurt the got thanks Steve Kerr for everything everybody.
Uh so again, we'll have more and kind of a
reverse hot take on Bronnie James coming up next. Plus
could we be on the cusp of two huge trades
(14:26):
in the NFL? That's next right here, Jason and Mike.

much for your support. Mike and I love putting this
content out for you every single night. So we'll get
back into the knicks in that abysmal basketball again. It
should be banned, but they're gonna keep playing it, so
(15:25):
we'll talk about it. It's a multi billion dollar business
unless you can get the gofund yourself to I don't
know about a ten billion dollars. I don't think it's
going It's like when Robert Wagner tells Doctor Evil. Last
year we made eight billion dollars alone. Eighteen fifteen. Lakers
lead the Tea Wolves right now, two and a half
(15:47):
minutes to go in the first quarter. So far for
Lebron James, he's got four. The Griffies are at this game.
Lebron James is going to play with Browny at some point.
I assume they will stop the game. They will do
some sort of thing when Bronnie checks in. I think
gonna do a whole parade of father's son. Anybody. Yeah,
let's start walking through Frosburg. Are you and Jackson going
(16:10):
to Aren't you guys supposed to be there? We decline, guys,
he declined on a half court I think they're just
gonna FaceTime in and you gonna want to take away
from Brownie's night? All right, all right, I mean I'd
like to see that though, it would almost feel like
a like a park in the Park game. Here's fathers
and sons. If you rot your child in the game tonight,
what about fathers and daughters? And Jerkson? I will have
(16:32):
that night another time, but I assume and look, Bronnie
is going to play. JJ Reddick said before the game,
gonna find a way to get him in tonight, he said,
I gotta get this over with. Now. Look, now there's
there's reading between the lines. There's good and bad to that.
But let's deal with the good part of it first. Uh.
You can have your argument about should Brownie be on
the Lakers? Should he not? Should he be in the
(16:52):
G League? Should he not? Would he be there? If
his name wasn't Brownie? Would he be on the team,
would he be in the NBA? Would he still be
in college? I get all of that, But tonight I'm
gonna be incredibly excited when I see him check into
the game because I'm never gonna get and we are
never gonna get to see anything like this again, seeing
(17:14):
a father and son playing an NBA game. It's been
thirty some odd years since we got to see Ken
Griffy Senior play with Ken Griffy Junior, right, and that
was only for a little bit. We saw it for
two years. We saw Ken Griffy Junior stealing fly balls
from his dad in the outfield a couple of times.
It was fun. A senior couldn't move, So welse? I mean,
look the thing with Broughton with Lebron is we may
(17:36):
see this for a little while because Lebron at thirty
nine is still a top player. I mean he's a
cyborg and we may see him with his grand kid.
So again, we may see this for US Captain America
seerum man, come on, but the first time we see it,
it's it's gonna be something because it's a benchmark, lifetime thing.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
So I want to say, I can't wait to see
what it's gonna be. How are they going to stop
the game? Is? I don't know. Is Adam Silver there?
Is he gonna walk out and take a picture, you know,
two of them? No, there's pictures of Silver with everybody.
Is that gonna be like he's in a commemorative plate
or something or here here's your set of spoons to
have your first game going on? Like I mean, I
can't like he's a baby is Lebron really is he
(18:19):
going to pass to him? Is he not gonna pass
up that point? Does Delonte West?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Come?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Come on, man, why you want to do that to Lebron?
Why do you want to do that?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Man?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And if anything, Delante West would be an in law. Okay,
so just that or or family. Yes, that blood is
thicker than water. Come on, man, this is everybody escalated quickly.
But to your point, yeah, I mean you can hold
the two thoughts and let him run in parallel. Right,
(18:58):
you could bemoan it. If you're a Baker fan saying
this is nonsense. You're an NBA critic and you're saying
this is crazy. This guy shouldn't get a shot again,
look around your circle and how many phone calls you
and texts and emails you may have made on behalf
of your your child. Hey, can he get an internship? Whatever? Yes,
he's getting paid here or whatever. It's good business, okay, whatever,
(19:22):
whatever you think of the playing style, and eventually he
will see what Bronnie James becomes as a player. If
you don't like the other part of it, then I
think you need to walk up and give somebody a
hug and just say let me, hug you for a second,
because your lack of humanity is showing, right, I mean that, like,
that's the other side of it. It's like, all right,
(19:43):
it's not like he's gonna be running out there twenty
five minutes a game unless he earns it right, nobody's
doing that. No, but look and understand the Lakers. Number one,
it's opening night. Can he come in and play a
couple of minutes at some point into the first half,
in the final forty seconds, because look, Bronni is a
pretty good defender. I don't think he'll get lost. I
(20:03):
don't think he's gonna cost him the game if he
plays for forty seconds at the end of the first half,
or if he comes in for you know, seventy five
seconds at the end of the third quarter. Now, if
he starts logging tons of minutes and suddenly, hey, you
know he's playing seventeen minutes, okay, Well, but if it
looks like that last preseason game when he was minus
thirty seven, yeah, but that's I mean, look, but for
the Lakers to do this, and remember what we've told
(20:26):
you about the Lakers for a long time now and
again this is why I say ahead of the curve,
because this is a take that we told you about
months ago that now people are starting to come around
to today and I've heard it and seen it today.
We told you that you're when you are the Lakers
and you're the Cowboys, you're in the business of winning,
but you're also in the business of relevance. And when
you can't win a championship, how are we going to
(20:48):
stay relevant? Jerry Jones knows the Cowboys weren't going to
win a championship, but he kept all the all the
attention on the Cowboys all offseason. We're not going to
pay for anybody going to do these crazy interviews here.
I'm paying Dak, I'm paying seed beginning of the year.
I'm gonna go threaten some radio guys jobs Like he
knows how to stay relevant because if the Cowboys aren't
gonna be good, they're still gonna be popular and a
(21:09):
story and they're still gonna be talked about the same thing.
The Lakers have realized the same thing. And once you
understand that, you get what the Lakers are doing. Look,
the buses know, hey, our team is kinda not set
up to win a championship because our best player is
thirty nine, and we don't have money in the cap
because we screwed it up by deciding we're gonna listen
(21:29):
to Lebron and ad by going to get Russell Westbrook
before that, you know, as our as our third star.
They know they're not gonna win. They don't have money
to bring anybody in. So what do they do. Let's
find a way to make headlines. They hire JJ Reddick,
which guess what main headlines? A guy with no coaching
experience outside of fourth grade basketball. We're gonna draft Bronnie James.
(21:49):
Of course, we're gonna draft Bronnie James. We're not gonna
win a title, but we're gonna be talked about. We're
gonna be a story. The Lakers and Cowboys always need
to stay the Lakers and Cowboy, whether they're good or bad,
they push the envelope and they're part of the conversation.
The Knicks were so bad for so long you forgot
that even existed. But now suddenly they're good. They're back.
There a story. But the Knicks were We're really after
(22:11):
the Isaiah Thomas years, it was just not a lot
of It's not bad. Even when they brought in Phil Jackson.
But it wasn't It wasn't front page news because these
teams understand how do we stay relevant? And the Lakers
knew we're gonna do this. Is this best for Brownie
that he's playing? Probably not? Should it be in the
G League? Yeah, the G League hasn't started yet. But
(22:31):
is it better for the Lakers if he's playing and
it's a nightly story for a while, Of course it is.
But of course it's a great story for the Lakers
start winning, so they will have this. Like we talked
about with Night one and trying to talk you off
the ledge with the Niggs, it's one of the eighty two.
So if tonight he plays three minutes, whatever, even if
you drop this game at home, say you drop it,
(22:53):
Oh my goodness, unless you could truly attribute it to
however many possessions he's on the court, So be it right.
It's part of the business of basketball. They decided to
do a solid how many fifty fifth picks and guys
even in the second round. Do you remember a few?
There's a few that have gone on to prominence and
Hall of Fame careers. A couple undrafted guys that find
(23:16):
their way through it and get their chance and suddenly
become stars. It's not unheard of, but it's rare. It's
the exception to the rule. So when we talk about
Brownie James getting the shot with the Lakers, they've already
made and printed cash out of this because it is,
after all, folks entertainment and still the business. I know
(23:36):
you want them to go eighty two to zero, and
this maybe offends your sensitivities as a basketball purist and
all that nonsense that folks want to do. Again, folks
help other people get jobs all the time. In this case,
you got the guy that folks argue is either one,
two or three depending why we want to bring Wilton
to the conversation or cap maybe four all time player,
(24:00):
and you brought him back. He's still playing at a
high level and you did a ma solid. Oh no,
the sky is falling. The horrors of that, like, like,
there haven't been rosters littered with guys like, hey, can
we get a ten day contract on that guy? Can
he play any minute? No, he's not gonna play, but
we need to put a warm body at the end
of the bench. They just happened to do it in
(24:22):
Game one. Yeah, and look, I don't think anybody's gonna
have a problem him playing a couple minutes here or there.
Could it get away from them, Yes, if suddenly they
feel like they have to play him in every game,
or he needs to get extended minutes, or Lebron is
unhappy with some of his teammates and says something like,
you know, you got guys on the bench. It could
maybe play some more minutes. You know. Then it could
(24:44):
get really ugly, right then, it could get really ugly.
But if it's managed, it's gonna be it's gonna be
not much ado about nothing, but it's it's gonna be
the lack of a controversy, and it'll just be attention
on Bronny playing with Lebron. Look at what happened last night,
Because the Lakers have, in one fell swoop, turn themselves
into must see TV again. Look at let's see Lebron
(25:06):
Yes thirty nine, it's amazing what he's doing. The Lakers
are still a big show. But Bronni played last night.
What happened? Did you see the behind the back path,
the two of them out on the break with each other.
Did you see this? Did you see him talking like
everything the Lakers do. Every game, people are gonna want
to see and fans are gonna want to know, Hey,
what happened with these guys last night? Did Bronnie play?
(25:26):
Did anything happen? I don't want to miss anything, right
that Fomo, you're gonna have you if you're not up
to date with what's going on with the Lakers. So
from that perspective, look, the Lakers have always been really
good businessmen and they understand that. All right, the focus, Yeah,
we're gonna try to win a title, and we hope
we can. We hope that JJ Reddikin unlock the Angelo
Russell and unlock Austin Reeves and do all these It's
(25:48):
not like they've stopped trying, but it's Hey, if we
brought Bronni in, that's gonna do something even more for
us than we would have elsewhere. And if we're not good,
we still stay top of conversation. We still say a
team that's talked about, we still stay the biggest draw
and the biggest story in the NBA. And when you
can't win a championship, that's what teams want. They don't
(26:08):
want to win. But if I can't win, but I
want to be talked about and that's what the Lakers
are achieving. But it's it's October twenty second. You're not
winning a title tonight, right, the team that won the
last title tonight. But they won one game, but they
celebrated the one that they did win. And I'm pretty
sure the Celtics cheated. I just have to find out
how our good you think they their scope and guide
(26:32):
to help them. They all had a chip and planet
that a triangulate things. They had the magnet basketball. You
heard about that, right, the magnet that gets drawn to
the draws. Right, So it's just gonna go off, is
just gonna go through the hoop. But I just have
to get the basketballs and cut them op out of
Live TV like Slate Gate on a whole other level,
like Geraldo, I'm gonna go in Alcapa, I'm gonna I'm
(26:52):
gonna cutts. I'm gonna cut this bathroom all in half.
Look at the chip inside. It's a magnet. And if
I can't find a man, wow, then I could figure
someone else out. That was one of the greatest nights
of television ever. All the anticipation that, well, we have
a couple of broken beer bottles and some this might
have been paperwork. Let's speculate about what it might have been.
(27:13):
But here's here's your dates. Honus Wagner baseball card. Wagner, Yeah,
what who the hell is that guy? Yeah? You put
him in the walls, in the wallpaper you have obviously
the start of the season, oh, October twenty sixth, the
G League Draft October twenty eighth, through the November seventh,
the G League training camps, and then opening day is
(27:35):
seventh and eighth. So this is gonna last very long
unless he comes in and sets the house on fire,
right in terms of playing really well and being a
spark plug, which on some level I hope it is,
because I hope it extends the conversation, especially for those
that want to hate. In the end, I'm kind of
like the Tommy Lee Jones line we've run from the Fugitive.
(27:59):
I don't care. It's one of dating two. The human
side of me loves it all basketball side. Okay, it's
gonna get done here in short order, but no title
was being won tonight, So anybody that's mad, they do
it on opening night again. The pomp and circumstance, the
pageantry of it all the Griffies and whatever other father's
son combos they trot out. Get over yourselves. It's look,
(28:23):
it's a fun night. This will be something that plays out.
People are gonna love it, people are gonna hate it.
But understand, this is how the Lakers have to operate.
Oh you know how you have to operate. You know,
I can make them forget about this how bullpen games.
There you go, I got you America exit out about
a Fresco exit swelling down the Jason Smithsonow with Mike
(28:45):
Carmon live from the Tirack dot Com studios. So here
we could be at a very big moment right now
because the Tea Wolves have taken the lead over the
Lakers twenty three twenty two end of the first quarter,
Edward's with eight points to lead the t no surprise.
We could be seeing Bronni James check in to start
(29:06):
the second quarter. So we might need just a couple
of moments away from seeing history in the NBA start
of the second quarter, we could see father son playing
lebron and Bronny. The Griffis are there. We just saw
cutaways to them. I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure Kangrif
Senior is going, why are we here? Can we just leave?
(29:26):
Can we just go home? I just want to go home.
But first we're getting an on court interview with Miles
with Chris Finch, head coach of the Timberwolves, because we
need to know this what's going in here going into
the second quarter. So that's where we're at right now,
the second quarters about to begin. Bronnie James has not
checked into the game yet, but again the plan was
potentially to see him early here in the second quarter.
(29:49):
We may see him the next couple of minutes. Lebron
is on the floor to start the second quarter, So
you know, as long as Lebron is in, because they're
not gonna have Bronni check in with Lebron not in
the game, he will check in for the first I
am sure with Lebron there. So twenty four to twenty three,
Lakers with the lead over Minnesota, eleven and a half
to go in the second quarter. We got more coming
up in ninety seconds. But first, Kevin Wire's got what's
(30:12):
trending in the wide world of sports, Kate doub Yeah,
all eyes on Los Angeles as many anticipating the debut
of Bronny James. The reports had speculated that it would
be in the second quarter when he'd make his debut.
We've not seen him yet, but Lebron out there for
the Lakers as they're trailing the Timberwolves twenty six to
twenty four, about eleven minutes ago in the second quarter,
(30:34):
leading the way for the Lakers so far. Ruey Ha Chamorrow.
He's got himself seven points on three of four shooting.
The ant man the top of the score sheet for
the Timberwolves as Edwards has eight points. He is three
of five shooting so far. Earlier tonight, Celtics and Nix
in Boston to open up the season of the defending champions,
(30:55):
picking up right where they left off. This one was
not much of a contest at all. This game was
over for much of the last three quarters. I would
say as Boston wins, it won thirty two. It was
over when they tipped the ball off Kevin Winter. They
tipped it off and it went in for three points.
That's how bad it was here. Jason Tatum had twenty
five points at the half, had thirty seven overall on
(31:17):
the game fourteen. I heard Keevin Yeah, thirty seven points
on fourteen of eighteen, shooting eight of eleven from beyond
the three point arc, and three of the five Celtics
starters scored twenty points. Derek White had twenty four, Jalen
Brown had twenty three, and Jalen Brunson led the way
with twenty two points for New York, but they struggled
(31:37):
from beyond the three point line eleven of thirty shooting
from long range. Back to you guys, Thank you Kate.
The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmen

Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon live from the tie rack dot Com Studios.
No Bronni James yet. Seven thirty four to go in
the second quarter. Lebron still in the game for the Lakers.
They have a thirty seven to twenty nine lead, although
it looks like Lebron is checking out of the game
right now. Got tangled up on the last played down court.
(33:19):
He is holding his elbow, his right elbow, getting some
high fives. He checks out of the game, sits down
at the end of the bench. So maybe Bronny James's
debut is gonna get postponed a little bit here again,
seven and a half to go on the second quarter,
Lebron just comes to the game, was going down court
and was looking for position, got tangled up, fell looks
(33:39):
like he hit his arm and checks himself out of
the game, but doesn't look like he's being looked at.
It's like he's sitting at the end of the bench
right now rubbing his sleeved arm. And we will have
an update on that for you as we come on.
It was an odd posture though, as he walked off
the court, kind of like the arm just kind of dangling. Yeah,
he was liking high fives to his teammates and he
(34:00):
was reaching over with his left hand like, hey, hang
on a second, it's broken. Oh it's broken, something like that. Yeah,
what I did find interesting, right well, we didn't get
the browny check in at the start of the second quarter.
We got Dalton connect and all he did was like
he was magnetically drawn, you know, like the basketball was
in your Nick Celtic game to the corners, where he
(34:21):
just kind of stayed until it was time to run back,
like there was a release when it was potentially needing
to go back and play defense. Otherwise he just slumped
into the corners and didn't move. Just give me the
ball here, just give me the moving I'm setting up.
I'm gonna shoot. But old school Steve Kerr John Packson
got it. God, guys, I'm in my spot. I've come on.
What are you doing? All right? So again ten point
(34:43):
lead for the Lakers now midway through the second quarter.
We will have more on this game coming up again.
As soon as Brownie James does check in for this
historic moment, we will let you know again. I can't
wait for it. It's gonna be exciting, it's gonna be fun,
and I didn't find people are gonna hate it because
we'll find a way to hate everything. You know tonight
when you don't when you don't see something for thirty years,
(35:06):
I kind of like to see that. I'm not gonna
say yeah, and I don't want that, Like, hey, do
you want to go see that? You're never gonna see
an eclipse like this? Remember the eclipse a few months ago?
You had like seven pairs of last clips. I don't
want to see the eclipse. Why am I going outside
to see the eclipse? Because you may never see it
again in your life? What do I want to see
an eclipse for okay, all right, that's fine. Well, but
I mean you could care about stuff like that or not. Likewise, here,
(35:29):
you know, if you're a basketball fan, you know, or
a human being, maybe this one would appeal to you.
You know, you could play all the great father Son
songs of all time and have some fun with sure,
but you know, again, the humanity of it all. We
talk about the emotions. I am old. It's not your fault.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Oh nice, yeah, okay, cry, saddle down, you can get married,
oh of that.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
So there's very young at your fault. Very few songs
that make me cry when I hear it, or that.
I don't want to hear that ever again. No, never
want to hear that again. Whatever. I grew up with that,
but that was part of my dad's repertory. Throw that.
Don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear
slipping through your fingers by Abba. No no, no, that's
a good one. Don't want to hear the Christmas shoes.
Don't want to hear that. Christmas a good one. Don't
(36:20):
want to hear that. No, no, no, don't want that
aside for the Christmas. No, no, no, no, no, it's
over in the corner thawing out next to Mariah Carey
getting ready song songs. I don't want to hear never
want to hear any of those again. Oh yeah. All
of that to say, like, just enjoy it. Yeah, And
if you don't like it, like Kevin Durant always said,
don't want Jason. Does it make you happy to see
(36:41):
Divad Shenzo struggling like this, I would say happy. It
gives me a little. He's really sucking though. Minus eleven, Yeah,
he's minus well, listen, the Timberwolves as a team is
minus eleven. Yeah. The Lakers are on a seventeen to two, right,
nineteen to two rid of layups right now, if it's
a layup line, I have a fifteen point lead over
the Tea Wolves here at midway through. The points in
(37:02):
the paint are absolutely killing it. I will say this,
I love Devincenzo. I love what he brought to the
Knicks last year. It sucked they had to trade him,
it really did. But when he just hits the side
of the backboard on a three like he just did,
and I realize how badly the Knicks lost to Night, yeah,
I'm okay with it. And then ye tight tightne. I
(37:22):
wasn't talking to you, Brunson, I was talking to Tips.
I wasn't talking to you, man, I was talking to Tims.
You want to fight out? Fuck a't so bad now?
Right now, it's the perfect time to put Browni in.
Oh man, let's get you a couple of minutes because
we're not going to give up this lead. Because we're
beating the hell out of these guys. I would say this,
there's five minutes now, let's just let's just play a
little let's just play a little uh game planner here
(37:45):
a JJ reddick. There's under five minutes ago in the
first half. This first half has gone about as well
as the Lakers could have expected it too. Again, they
are thumping Minnesota right now, and you're only shooting twenty
percent from three point range. He is a nineteen to
two run. You got Hatchimora and Davis with eleven and
ten each. Hayes has six off the bench, Connect already
(38:06):
has five off the bench in eight minutes. This is
as good a start as you could possibly imagine. Lebron
doesn't look like he's coming back in the game soon.
He's got the he's got the blue long sleeve on
the black long sleeve on. So I would assume they're
gonna check in together the next time. Uh, and maybe
it's gonna be both them at the scorer's table. They
(38:27):
both take their uniforms on. Whatever it's gonna be, and
it's gonna be a thing. Take you off, boy, Lebron's
checking in with no shirt on. How about that that
body buzz does Browny do the chalk? Oh? I think
they both do the chalk together. I think Lebron that's true.
That's a bridge shoe far Bron off before you checking
in together, have it done, and then they throw it
(38:48):
up with like the Wonder powers. It's check to eight.
I would assume Lebron's not being looked at again, he
banged his his arm coming off the floor. He's not
being looked at. He's got his he's got his long sleep.
Four and a half minutes to go, when the Lakers
are up nineteen, I would assume what's going to happen
is this again, just assuming bron Lebron stays out, and
(39:10):
then somewhere around the minute mark, with a minute to
go before halftime, Lebron and Bronny check into the game
and they play the final minute of the first half together, right,
because that's normally when you see the look, you want
to keep guys from getting fouls and of the bench
guys come in a couple of seconds. Here, that's a
perfect chance to get Lebron and Browny in a game. Hey,
it's a minute. We get over with and then we
(39:30):
can concentrate on the game. Will Smith and his kid
gonna do the halftime?
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Sure, yeah, with the Griffies, they're all going to do
something together. Yes, they're all gonna do us long again.
And even though they're not father and son, can we
just get kid in place so you do the dance?
Everybody say, oh, his kid is gonna slap Chris Rock's kid.
So we could have history coming up, but we know
what we do have. We could potentially be on the
(39:54):
cusp of two big trades in the NFL. Oh, it's happening.
It's happening. Now have
