Speaker 1 (00:29):
The knickser go to the finals, the boxer go to
the finel. Go New York, Go New York, Go, Go
New York. Didn't matter, didn't matter, didn't have to because
the Pacers are doing all. We'll see you in the
next round. Indiana, see you for some payback with some
healthy players. Welcome inside, Happy Tuesday. You got a long
(00:52):
road before you get there. We're almost there. We're almost there.
The biggest step we are one ZIP series. Basic road
begins with that first step that is SERI. It's basically,
it's basically over. It's basically over. The Jason Smith Show
is my best friend, Mike Harmon. Hell, let's go. For
over forty years, Tirerack's been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive shipped fast
(01:13):
and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tire ac dot Com
is the way tire buying should be. Jason, one question
for you. Yeah, how the Knicks and you plan on
stopping this? Missus Halliburton, the rebound Tickins. They do have
(01:33):
a time out. Carlisle's gonna let him play. Calliburton, stop.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Hats Tyrese Halliburton, try to take Cleveland's heart.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Nick Fams know that one bang? Yeah, okay, Yeah, it
just so happens that, you know, we lost all our guys.
We finished the series last year against Pace with three
healthy players. We played three on five. Well, you know
what history does sometimes repeat itself, play with a six
man rotation. You know. Listen, we had the conversation last night, Hey, Knicks,
(02:08):
Pacers Eastern Conference Finals. All of a sudden, how does
that look today? Mix up one zip Pacers up two
zip going home? How does that look? We talked a
lot yesterday about the absences or likely absences of the
players for the Cavaliers, and all of them declared out.
(02:28):
Donovan Mitchell super hero kind of game until the offensive
fall that suddenly just dipped everything. Right, here's the momentum,
trying to grind out the final minute, we're in the
free throw territory, extend the game, and then he's flailing
elbows like oh no, no, no, and away we go. Listen.
We had a conversation last night on the show before
(02:50):
we dive into what happened and the absolute gagfest that
the Cavaliers put up in the final fifty seconds of
this game. Amazing. We had the conference last night, right, Okay,
all the big favorite everybody was played home. Teams are
all down ones. At the three best teams in the
NBA this season, we're all down one z it right,
Thunder go down to the Nuggets last night. Nuggets have
(03:11):
a huge comeback, the Knicks with the big win over
the Celtics, right, we saw it all right. We knew
that the Cavaliers already down won nothing, and we had
that conversation, who of those three are in the most trouble.
We had the conversation twice. We had it when both
teams in the East were down ones. It after the
Knicks game, and then we had the conversation again after
the Thunder beat the Nuggets last night, and nothing changed.
(03:35):
It was still the team that was in the most trouble,
we said was the Cavaliers because of the injury issues
what they have going on, clearly missing three guys in
their rotation. Again, we knew they weren't playing tonight. Yes,
I've been playing without Garland for a while, but when
you're missing three guys out of a big rotation, you're
gonna struggle. That being said, come on, man, you're up
(03:55):
by seven with forty eight seconds left to go, and
Siaka misses two free throws, So you're up by seven,
the Pacers missed two free throws, and you still lose
the game. And you stified stop stop right there and said, Okay,
forty eight seconds, seven point lead for the Cavs and
Pascal Siaka misses two free throws. Wow, I'd say it's over. Nope,
(04:17):
they still found a way to blow that game. They
still found away. Forget about stuff like, hey, the Blues
trying to get past Oh man, how do we get
pay You know, we lost the game in the final
two seconds. You know, we went to it to overtime
to the Jets and we lost. We're out of the playoffs.
Forget about getting past that, like Cavaliers fans, when you're
when you're looking at this season and you're saying this year,
(04:37):
where we were clearly the best team in the Eastern Conference,
second best team in the NBA, we were unstoppable, And
here you are now having to go back to Indiana
to win two games and you can't find a way
to close the last forty eight seconds with a seven
point lead. Hey, for all of us, this NBA Playoffs
so far, especially the beginning of the second round, has
(04:59):
been entertaining as hell. Every game has been terrific. It's
ended in controversy, it's ended with with gasps and and
and and shrieks and calls, and it's ended terrific. It's
all great for us, But wow, you're the cat Like,
I don't know how you get over there. I don't
know how you go to bed tonight if you're a
cas fan, like I know losses in my life, my team,
where I just sit there, I just stare at the ceiling,
(05:21):
like how do I can't I can't stop thinking, I
can't stop seeing that. I can't stop seeing it. I
don't know how you stop seeing the last forty eight
seconds of this game, which is you let somebody ride in.
You had let Nesmith ride in for a dunk off
of Siakam. Second miss free throw, the offensive foul on
on Don Mitchell, which is an offensive foul because he
throws the elbow. Then you have the turnover. Then you
(05:43):
can't get a rebound on another missed free throw. Haliburton
hits the three to win the game. Like I really,
I don't know how you get you get past that.
Tonight you get a big block in the mix, you
have the Siakam layup, made everything that comes down to it.
You got a seven point lead, and generally it's all right,
let's do the free throw shooting contest and maybe you
(06:03):
extend it and make it interesting. But not often do
you get the extra possession to get over the convergence
of just crazy circumstances. Big time plays for the Pacers
taken advantage of opportunity and look for the Cavaliers, they
got the super superhero effort, as you said, Adam Mitchell,
(06:24):
over the course of the night, but down the stretch
we get those big plays that come back to bite.
The Cavaliers can't close things out, which rotationally and certainly
losing a couple of your big men in your rotation
comes up big and fourth quarter struggles twenty one points
scored after having some of their usual offensive barrage. I mean,
(06:51):
what we've seen all year long, the one guy that's
inserted into the starting lineup usually score off the bench.
Ty Jerome one of fourteen from the field, and your
guy Nemahar didn't have to hit a shot, No, didn't
have to hit a shot, but he had thirteen assists.
This was the Donovan Mitchell scores forty eight. Yeah, I
(07:11):
mean really, no, you can sit here and say where
we have injury have this. But the other bigger, bigger
conversation to have now is that how irrelevant does the
regular season seem right now in the end. But that's
why I always say the regular season's way too long, right.
Teams pile up wins by the time you get to
like game fifty five. Teams don't care. The teams that
are teams are either I'm in playoff position, I'm trying
(07:33):
to stay in the playing round. But no one's going
crazy trying to make a big, bad run to get
to the seven through ten. No one's trying that. But
how irrelevant does the regular season seem now? With the
three again, the three teams who are the best in
the regular season, and everybody else was so far by there.
It's like when you're doing tiers for your fantasy draft
in football's like, okay, these five quarterbacks are it's Tier one.
(07:54):
I want to get one of those. Tier two. I
have to get one of these guys like Tier one Cave, Celtics, Thunder,
and then there's a long way to go, and then
Tier two is Nick's nuggets, Like that's where you have
those teams, and you look at where you're at right
now and you say, oh, my goodness, like how irrelevant
does the regular season seem? Where the Cavaliers just machine
(08:16):
like went through wins, and the Celtics were winning enough,
but you know, coming off the championship, they're not going
to extend themselves in the regular season. And the Thunder
looked absolutely unbeatable. And when you can't in the end,
and when you get to the second round of the
players and you can, you're playing in a team that
matches up well against you, because right NBA playoffs are
all about matchups. All of a sudden, everything that happened
(08:37):
those eighty two games, that's gone. Man, that's gone, well, look,
every game actually counts, right for eighty two games of
a season. We've done the math a couple of times, right,
what is in game sixty three or something about that,
And that's why we're always fighting about sixty five game
seasons or sixty eight game seasons. It's all that to
(08:58):
try to get to that point of irrelevancy of operations
shut down and just playing out the string, or for
teams that know they're going to the lottery again, playing
out the string and seeing how many ping pong balls
they can accumulate. But we get into matchups, you're gonna
have different officiating, right. We've certainly seen that through the
(09:18):
first few games of this round, and certainly go back
to the first round here you had that sequence that
was referee initiated review twice in a row, right, because
the Nesmith put back dunk took about four minutes to
get reviewed, and then in the ensuing possession after that's
upheld to make it a five point game. That's when
(09:38):
the Mitchell review happens. After he throws on the elbow
and they want to see, all right, was that his
fall is it does rise to the level of a
flagrant all of that fun stuff. Man, that was literally
three seconds off of the game clock, where all that
emotion and any momentum you had trying to close things
(09:59):
out was stunted. Not only because of the reviews, but
both of them will go against you, uh for the Cavaliers,
so you know you're doing your desperation and down the
stretch they come. Can this guy hold on and get
to the finish line? Well they did not, And we've
watched that time and again, and now we'll see if
the Timberwolves can break what is now becoming tradition of
(10:20):
fantastic finishes and thrilling upset specials of in the second
round of the playoffs. You know, sometimes you can explain
the end of games, say this is the play that
did it. This is this this situation did it. You
can look at the you know, Nesmith coming in and
and and and flying in for the rebound. Yeah, but
(10:42):
you could you just say okay that either but no,
but you put it all together. This is just a
choke job. This is an absolute gag fest. This is
I've put so much like the Blue Man group and
they put all the guy puts all the marshmallows, and
this is instead of like, you know, spewing them back
out and making a big, you know, ball of whatever,
killing this game. Know what I'm saying, It's like that's
like trying to swallow. That's what the Cavaliers did tonight.
(11:05):
This is this is such a challenge. This is one
of those Hey, I want to look up choke in
the twenty twenty five dictionary.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Here, here's the last minute of the Cavaliers game against
the Pacers. We have to keep editing that page like
it's a Wikipedia page. What do you got Frostburg to
their defense, they didn't have Lebron That is true. That
is true. And Kyrie Kyrie. Well, here's the other question, though,
does Kenny have to give back the Coach of the
Year award? And how close is he to getting fired? Now?
Record Cavaliers record before Kenny Atkins in his name, coach
(11:33):
of the Year, Cavaliers record after he's named I thought
you were going south Park there. Oh my god, they
killed Kenny. Eh what a I'd be What an absolute
gagfest by the Cavaliers for a team that was so
great in the regular season. And you know, and and
here's the thing is that you look at the teams
that have won so far here in the second round, right,
(11:55):
the Knicks and the Nuggets and the Pacers recent NBA
history going back a year, right, you had both, You
had all three of these teams. You go back a
couple of years now with the Nuggets, you had all
three of these teams who in big series, knew how
to close games, right, Like the Knicks would have been
in the East Finals last year, but they just lost
all their players and then they lose in seven to
(12:17):
the Pacers. But the Pacers made big shots. The Pacers
know how to how to navigate the end of games.
The Knicks know how to navigate the end of games
because you have Jalen Brunson, who's the most clutch. But
you got mister clutch, right, I mean, he's voted most
clutch player of the NBA. And you have the Nuggets
who also know how to navigate the end of games.
Whereas when you are the big favorites, right, and that's
why you know that, that's why the Celtics is okay,
(12:37):
that's kind of the outlier. But the Cavaliers and the
thunder who are the big favorites, this is still new
territory to them. Being the big favorites, and that was
the big question in playoffs before, but this is now.
You are overwhelming the favorites, you are the hunted, and
neither team could figure out the end of game one
of the second series. When you're playing a good team.
(12:59):
It's not a rollover series where you got whoever surviving
the playing round. These are final minutes against a couple
of teams that know how to win big games, and
you just melt. The thunder melted and the Cavaliers melt.
It's like it's like the end of Wicked Melting spoiler
everywhere everybody knows that happens, and you go, everybody, yeah,
(13:20):
they do, they know what happens. Melting. I melted. Well,
you know the Wizard of Oz they melt the same thing. Oh,
there's a lot of melting going on. There's a lot
of melting. You could but just like that Calves, right,
I'm waiting. I'm waiting for the jiff of or or
the photoshop of you know, seeing the Wicked Witch of
the West melt with the Calves hat on and a
thunder hat on. Good. I mean really, I mean I
(13:41):
saw a good gift that was Killian Murphy from Oppenheimer
with a white Sox hat on after they got shut
out by the Royals yesterday. You know, on that thousand
yards stare, you know that he gets Yeah, so that's
going around. But certainly, if you're a Calves fan and
you're wondering what you did wrong with the world, you
(14:01):
sold your soul for that Lebron James Championship, a Whilco
telling you it's it's a different thing. It's a different
animal when you come into the playoffs as the overwhelming
favorite and then you see, then you see, then we
see what you're made of. Right, then we see and
now we're seeing so far with the thunder and the
Calves exit, how about a Fresca exit swollen dome. Jason

percentage chance? Please do it? Okay, what do you got?
(16:22):
Percentage chance? Tyrese Halliburton's dad was not anywhere at the
game tonight. And I don't know anything. I'm not saying.
I'm not saying. Wait, what did I mean? I'd said
that he really wasn't anywhere in the building, that really
(16:44):
wasn't there. He wasn't there, was he? And DJ clearly
Halliburton not failing this time? Tj uh odds are he
was not? And maybe he's gonna be Rick Carl like
in those old commercials with Barry Bostwick and Halle Berry
when he unzips his face. Hey, I'm Barry Bostwick. Who's
(17:05):
Barry Boswick? He's gonna Carlile unzips his head. Gay, I'm here, Tyrts.
I made it. I made it to the game. That
would be something percentage chance. I mean, I gotta think
it's got to be eighty five ninety percent that he
wasn't there, and he wasn't there and he wasn't there. Okay,
I mean then we got facial recognition and all that
stuff that. I mean, this guy's enhanced, and I get
(17:26):
every ticket counter. I mean, there's a picture of his dad.
This man is what if he was dressed as Moondog
or sir cec oh see, now you're adding, what if
it was a full on face off experience. Yeah, I
could have been face you're seeing those things with those
crazy that you can do now. But wouldn't they do
the retinal scan that's still gonna get it.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
It doesn't go through a mask on heead No, no, no,
they would. It would be your your mask got head.
You have to put your paw, put your paw out
to get it. For the for the fingerprints, well.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
There's two grids up there, one for the mascot. He
just paused, one for the human hand. They're getting ready
to start, like middle of third quarter. The mascot finishes routine.
Just hear him, go, Terrese, it's me. It's done, Terrese,
it's done.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
It's me.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
It's me. I'm watched it real close to you. You
know what I did. I read it that Sudden Death
movie with Van Damn. But he dressed up like a
goalie and he actually out and made a save like
like on a penalty shot, I think, and it was
really big deal. And he went back and he stopped
the bomb from going off. So I said, I beat
up the mascot, and as I tied him up, he's
in the back, and so I came out, here's Tyrese. No,
(18:30):
it's really me. I can't take my head off, but
it's me. What you reference that film. I don't think
he gets enough run when we're talking about sports films
like and we talk even about bad sports film like
that vandamn movie, Dad does not get quite no, because
that's really that's where it's Enrico Palazzo on Sterry. It
(18:50):
kind of went off the red. Now now face off
with Jean Claude van Dam. I gotta explain face Okay.
So I got explained to millennials with Jean Claude van Dams. Okay.
He was in big action movies in the nineteen nineties,
and uh, he did a movie called Sudden Death and
it took place Game seven in the Stanley Cup Final
between the Penguins and the Blackhawks, and a bomb was
(19:11):
supposed to go off somewhere in the arena and his
job is to prevent the bomb from going off. Isn't
this an episode of the Office, Well, it did became
a Yeah that was threat level midnight. It became yeah,
this became threat level midnight. So the uh so, the
the plot goes and he's trying to figure out who
it is and somehow he winds up having to get
on the ice and he figures the best way for
(19:33):
him to do it is to dress up as the goal. Yeah.
So he gets the goal, so you know he's super flexible. Yeah, yeah,
the opportunity to So the goalie gets hurt and he
comes out, and that's where he gets the idea. So
he dresses up as the goal and he goes back
out and of course no one knows it's him. No
one knows it's him. He's dressed up all the goldie
pants and the coach said, you feel okay, and John
club vandam nods, Eddie goes, we'll get back out there.
(19:54):
So Jean Claude van dem gets to go out and
play in Game seven of the Stanley Cup Final and
he stopped I believe it was a penalty shot, right
like he stopped like like they get called for pedaly
shot and the black Horse get a penalty shot and
he's like relying on his reflexes and he makes a
big save right just to keep the game going. And
then not only that, but after the period's over, he
(20:16):
gets back out, he undresses, goes back and then he
you know, he saves the arena from the Vice president.
But he got out to play. I mean he got no,
he didn't get to play. He got to make a
big save that won the game. I got halland Burton's
dag is the mascot like jumping around going you know
what I just heard. I was over there the gams
over the calves Liddel. They said they're just gonna give
(20:38):
the ball down of it and let him shoot. I
just so you know, it was right there. They think
I'm just the mascot, but I'm not looking through the
top cast for death. Ready take this down a deep
dark path, all right? So she got Dan Damn powers Booth.
Yeah yeah, Raymond Barry as the vice president, and then
you go down a couple more stars. Aud you're a
(21:00):
Linley really missus Roman Road wearing a mumu. That would
have been great, Luke Robati. Was it Luke Robotiz scores
the game winning goal? I think? I think no, I
think he scores the game time goal, like the last
three seconds of regulation. Oh sorry, sorry about that, Blues fans.
He scores like the time goal with like two seconds
left in the third period because if the game ends,
(21:20):
the bomb goes off. Yeah right, and so they needed
they needed. So he scores a goal with like three
seconds left to send the game over. See, all our
lives are circle. Luke Robatai in the news having to
make the press release of the firing of Rob Blayton
a way better player. Yeah yeah, yeah, but that Luke's
run the team now looks Do you have anything now?
Luke was a better player? Ooh, Blake was a really
(21:41):
good defenseman eight seven to seven? Do you not get
what I'm trying to say here? What are you trying
to say?
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I'm still he stinks as the president. Oh I didn't
think he needs a better player. I think, oh, oh,
he's a better player than he was a president. Well yeah, yeah,
that's obvious. Yeah, I think said he's a better player
than Luke Robati, Like that would.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Be talking about Luke Robotik. Yeah, he's talking about Luke robotide.
They okay, you're talking about the player, not former guest
of the show, not Rob Blake, former player executive. No
no no, and Rob Blake out of the conversation. Okay,
all right, very good, just like robotize. Yeah, yeah, okay,
all right, all right. That's was that Van Damn stuff.
Was that before his uh accepting the visit? Oh? I
(22:23):
was after that was after? Yeah, this is this is
when Van dam was like at the height of it.
This is like after what was the what was his
big movie when he when he broke out, Well, his
name was Chance. Why is your name Chance? Because my
mama took one, uh you know, Blood Sports, Bloodsport, Yeah,
blood Sports. After Blood then he had like a he
had a better Steven Sagal career. Kickbox Yeah, Double I,
(22:45):
Double Team, Sure, sure, Universal Soldier. He did a lot
of really bad action movies. Yeah, he was twenty seventeen spendables.
If you get that, that's good. But look, I mean this,
this Cavaliers loss. I can't get over the how it's
(23:09):
become almost not commonplace. But teams can't close, like if
you're down five for the minute left to go, Hey,
we're still in it, man, Well but he's still in it.
But even your you're champions, you're asking that question after
the game against the Knicks, right, coaching wise, Yeah, why
didn't you adjust? Why didn't you? James? Look how successful
you were inside the arc in the first half and
(23:30):
then you abandoned it completely. But the question of who's
getting the ball in crunch time to close things out,
Jalen Brown was shooting terribly, Jason Tatum kept inexplicably deciding
he was gonna take two or three steps back beyond
the three point line. I mean all of that to
say that that is the question of the NBA playoffs.
You're one of the only teams that have one of
(23:51):
those guys. I know, of course he didn't really do
much of anything in overtime, but in the fourth quarter
he did. Yeah, and he did fine in the fourth quarter. Yeah,
the extra stands and not so. Yeah, but that's okay,
it's okay, Yeah, if you there, if one game the
other guys can step up and do something, I'm okay
with that. I'm alright with that. And defensive effort from
Cat for crying out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I about you
(24:12):
all of a sudden. Hey, you gotta play how many
games they play again tomorrow? But I'm exhausted. Yea, that
would be better if it was Thursday, Yeah, yeah, Thursday,
or Friday, yeah, Saturday, Saturday, Sunday, that extra day. Uh.
The Golden State Warriors lead the Tea Wolves right now
thirty six twenty four with about five minutes to go
in the second quarter. That's the good news for the Warriors. Yep.
(24:36):
The bad news is Steph Curry grabbed at his left
hamstring a few minutes ago, left the game, was brought
to the locker room, and we have not seen him
or had any word on him since. Again, grabbed his
left hamstring and went off, asked out today, gotta get
out And uh, it was just after he was playing
(25:00):
a little bit of defense and he was moving to
try to try to cover a ball, try to cover
a ball screen, and he just made a turn that
didn't look great, and he started grabbing at his hamstring.
Stayed in the game for another couple of minutes, tried
to go up and down the floor, but then the
next time he came back down defensively, he was limping.
He is now off the floor. He did he did
(25:21):
walk off the floor under his own power. However, we
are getting this in from Steve to Sager. We have
some breaking news on this. Can we get that? Can
we get that line of here? By w Steve de
Sager's is right, he's got he's got it. He's like
waving his arms. He's waving his arms. He's got it.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Well, they were up ten when he went out in
the first. If Steph Curry is not going to return,
it is being called a strained hamstring. Meanwhile, Draymond Green
was fourteen points to lead the team five of six shooting.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Wow, thank you, Steve O. No more Steph Curry in
this game, no more, as he is not going to
return to the game. With this injury and the Tea
Wolves now starting to play a little bit better, they
have now cut it to eight. So three and a
half to go in the second quarter with Draymond on fire,
(26:10):
maybe maybe Draymond score sixty. Maybe that's what happens tonight.
Draymond score six, five to six from the field, four
to five from three point range. Already. Conversely, little Buddy
healed back to being little Buddy heel. He's zero for five,
So they're gonna have to navigate this game without Steph Kerz. Hey,
hey Warriors fans, you want your flowers. Win this game
(26:31):
and beat the Tea Wolves, and I will give you
some flowers because the last be mad at that. Look
look the Rob Parker, Kevin Washington, the odd couple they
were on right before us. They do last call every day, right,
last call, last call of the night. And you know
one of their big things they do, and it's the
last one. The last call came through mad at us
because I said last week that the Warriors gonna get
thumped in Game seven. Neglos, you tell Jason Smith and
(26:54):
Mike Carmon to take more phone call. I gotta call.
He said they were gonna lose. I'm like, okay, all right,
all right, so now you know people calling other shows
to get mad at us. Okay, uh, but you win
this hold on to win this game, I'll give you
some flowers. You want flowers, I'll take the call. I'll
give you flowers, and I will even play Miley Cyrus's flowers.
Oh wow, we'll even play those. Getting sued for that?
(27:16):
No is she?
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
No? What for well? And that it's derivative of someone else,
like just like every other song that's going on out there.
I will play some shi you stole my song? Why not?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Deserted from Bruno Mars. So who steals from everybody? So
what okay? Hang on, Okay, so the steal from everybody? Yeah,
yeah we do. Yeah, we just bridges. Yeah, just take
that ball away? Uh? So Mary, is it Bruno Mars suing?
Is that? I don't think he is. Okay, somebody else
is suing Miley. I'll look it up. Okay, So Miley
(27:49):
ray Cyrus is getting sued. So we'll play Killers songs,
I said, because their lead singer is Brandon Flowers, and
I think we're okay. We could play that song from
Pulp Fiction. Ye haven't been Flowers on the All the
chief Uh? Yes, he also Brandon Flower the Chiefs as
well well, but it's a different Brandon. But it's Yeah,
she's facing a lawsuit claiming that her song Flowers and
(28:12):
fringes on the copyright of Bruno Mars. It is, but
who's just gonna trust any Mike? But who's suing who?
But that's the thing, it doesn't have to be him,
he doesn't have to. But who's suing? Is? Like it
is this shadow company investments. Is that a real company
that sounds like it sounds like a shell court. It's
a shewu. I know way too much about it. It's
(28:33):
a dummy corporation, shell corporation. They're not for real that
they're siphoning all the monday theyway and again a guy,
a guy who's made made a career off of h
collaborative efforts without the other party knowing in terms of
sound style, et cetera. Exit out about a fresco in
my opinion, you know it's okay? Did you say that
(28:54):
the Jason Smith Show is my best friend Mike Carmon
time out to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sport. But guy who's been called Tyres Halliburton's
dad of Fox Sports Radio, Oh wow, I don't even
know where that goes. He's also been banned from the
NBA playoffs.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Steve de Sager, So of the Lakers, the Golden State
is leading at Minnesota thirty eight to twenty eight late.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
In the second quarter, and we'll get to that Indiana win.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
But of course the news, as we'd mentioned, the Warriors
will not have Steph Curry for the rest of the
night due to the hamstring strain, but Minnesota at home
to open the second round series from three point range
is oh for fourteen. Meanwhile, somehow Indiana's up two games
to none, winning at Cleveland again tonight in a late
comeback one twenty to one nineteen Tyres Haliburton the game
(29:40):
winning three pointer after his offensive rebound. He had nineteen
points nine rebounds. The Pacers were down seven with under
a minute left. The stat is in the last twenty
five plus years of the NBA postseason until this year,
only one team had ever come from being down seven
or more in the last minute to win a playoff game,
(30:01):
and the Pacers did it a week ago, and the
Pacers did it again tonight. They're up two games to none.
Out for the Cavs this evening due to injuries. Evan Mobley,
Darius Garland, DeAndre Hunter, and Donovan Mitchell scored forty.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yebron Kyrie, Brad Doherty and that John Anderson verjaw. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Sure, Cleveland was up twenty early second quarter and could
not put it away. The NBA's Executive of the Years,
Oklahoma City general manager Sam Presty. The thunder went sixty
eight and fourteen.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Wasn't Nico Harrison. It was these are awards you don't want.
Like everybody that's winning a big executive award at the
end of the season, their teams are all down big
in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
When they said Presty won and it was his first,
I said, are you kidding me? This guy's never won
this award before. It turns out he's finished second three times.
So congratulations and maybe not a good thing as the
series continues. Florida Gators gave coach Todd golden and extension
through twenty thirty one.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
He just won the national title.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
His annual salary is now over six point five million dollars.
Couple of NHL second round openers, Carolina in overtime wins
at Washington two to one. Vegas up after the first
period to one against Edmonton. In Major League Baseball, top
of the eleventh, the Giants are tied five to five
at the Cubs. Angels hosting the Blue Jays that's tied
(31:21):
two to two. Bottom of the fourth. The Mets have
a one to nothing lead at Arizona, and the Mariners
lead to one at the A's in the top of
the third. Atlanta in ten innings. Has beaten to Cincinnati
two to one with a run on the ninth and
one in the bottom of the tenth. Saint Louis beat
Pittsburgh and Paul Skens two to one. Each team only
had four hits. Pirates have lost six straight. Detroit at
Colorado reigned out the game at Boston at a rain
(31:44):
delay at the start. Eventually, Texas beat Boston and Lucas
Giolito took the loss six to one. Texas, Cleveland and
Washington split a doubleheader after yesterday's rain. The Padre six
game winning streak is over. They lost twelve three at
Yankee State. Him Is New York scored ten times in
the bottom of the seventh twelve's home run for Aaron Judge.
(32:04):
Tonight and Miami and ten names.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
And in that game, Steve, I assume Devin Williams did
not pitch.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
That's why it is why they won. Okay, very good,
good sure, or maybe he pitched for the Padres. I
just didn't know. Miami and ten innings beat the Dodgers
five four. LA outfielder Tasker Hernandez, we mentioned on last
night's show, was injured. They're calling it a string growing.
He's on il His thirty four RBIs we're leading the majors.
Tommy Edmund of the Dodgers with the bad ankle could
(32:31):
return in a week.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve. The Jason Smith Show
with Mike Harmon lot from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Golden State still with a twelve point lead over Minnesota
right now, a minute to go before halftime. We got
more NBA and the way we have the play of
the day and a story that I guarantee you will
make you feel old. You know what I normally hear like, Oh,
(32:53):
may me feel old? I hear, Oh, the story has
made me feel old. No, this is one of those. Oh,
this will cut through and make you feel old. Great,
just what we need. It's next right here, Jason and Mike.
Fox Sports.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I want my first Grammy. All right, Warriors fans, you
want your flowers? Win this game without Steph. I'll give
you flowers. So I will give you all the first
minus two for the second half. Forty four thirty one
Golden State lead over Minnesota at halftime, but Steph Curry
ruled out of this game with a hamstring injury. Second
(33:33):
half upcoming now this we could see a tremendous second half.
We might, we might maybe, but we may not see
anything as good as what we've already seen earlier tonight.
And that brings us to the Play of the Day.
For over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Shipped fast and freed, backed by free road hazard protection
(33:56):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation iraq dot
com is the way tire buying should be. So let's see,
we have Halliburton, we have the Hurricanes. We got Halliburton,
we have the Hurricanes. Just excited. It can't be about
the Knicks. Yeah, well we go. We could play the
final call of last night's game, So let's see what
(34:18):
we and the Mets are losing. So yeah, yeah, but
that's not anything new. We would delete stuff in the
day after anyway. Uh So let's have the play the
day on behind for Martin Uck. That one goes back
to the point of Slavens and they scar shake up
slaven through a screen. Carolina wins game one and over
(34:41):
time on the call. Take that, Alex Ovechkin. No no, no, no,
this press bonanza t this is what what do I
always say? We want hockey together. I always say the
same thing. When the defenseman have the puck and and
their screens in front, and they have a shot, take it.
(35:03):
Just rip it, take it, take it, take it. Don't
look for a better shot, because chances are you're not
gonna complete three or four pas. Take a shot. Just
throw it at the neck, because that's how you never
know what kind of bounce you're gonna get. I'd rather
have a bad shot from the point, then oh we
try to do something really cool and not get anything off.
Just hit the other team with overwhelming number of shots
(35:26):
and the puck is gonna hit the back of the neck.
But spread spread the ice, right, I mean in terms
of the concentration, right, We take it from there. Take
it onto the pitch. For soccer, same thing. Take the
shot from from deeper range. At least make the goalie work.
You get an odd Caaren. We're talking about rebounding and
offensive rebounding in the NBA, and it all works the
same way. You get crazy bounce as crazy opportunities and
(35:49):
maybe an easy put back or the screen is just
enough to obscure the vision and give you a clear
shot on goal, telling you just take the shot. How
you know how many times I would I would tell
my shoes, would say shoot it. You can't dribble the
ball into the net. And these are all good shoots, Jay,
these are all good players. Take the shot. You can't
dribble it into the net. Take the shot. Take the shot.
(36:12):
Shoot it because I say, could shoot the jay, because
you know what's pretty is the goalie going to the
back of the net to pick the ball out. That's
what's pretty. I think that's great. But that's what's pretty.
God doesn't have to be shoot it. Shoot shoot it.
They played with the shoot it. You know what I'm saying.
When I would coach same thing, that's that I would
tell you he's just sports. Yeah, she wasn't coach hockey.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Roller.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Now remember he was a great hockey scorer. I was
so he loved making the goalie go and do the walk.
That was always the best. Oh yeah, Pam's got a
got a bunch of video. Yeah, you got a bunch
photo shot not in the not in I haven't played
in like Ai with his head superimposed skater. I think
I stopped playing when I was like in my early thirties,
(36:55):
so I haven't played in probably twenty years. But oh yeah, no, no, no,
you'd see the man, you'd see the kid. How did
he put that in? He knew, he knew, he knew.
How many hats did you take away when you had
a hat tree? Oh? So many, so many, so many,
there's why, oh that had any distribution process. Let me
tell you. I promise this story, but I could, I can.
I can easily tell you a story about that in
(37:17):
a few minutes. No, boy, I promise this though. If
you want to feel old. And I always say, what
what did I always say whenever somebody I watch, whenever
their grandson it becomes a professional athlete, whatever it is,
and they're on the radar, That's when I'm gonna feel
And I always say, Tony Dorset, Right, Tony Dorset, Anthony Dorsett,
that was what I was worried about. Tony Anthony Dorsett. No, no, no,
(37:40):
because that's a long time ago. But this is worse
because Tony Dorsett was big in the seventies and eighties, yeah.
But today Jaden Fielder, who was just signed by the
Milwaukee Brewers, hit a home run in his first professional
at bat in the Arizona Complex League. He is the
son of Princefielder, who was, of course the son of
(38:00):
Cecil Fielder. So now Cecil Fielder, whoever watching so much
in the nineties back to back fifty home run near
Cecil was one of the most fun guys to watch it. Uh,
Cecil Fielder's grandson is now potentially going to be someone
we hear about, maybe a major leaguer one day. But
he was just signed by the Brewers. His first professional
(38:22):
at bats all research media today he had a home run.
This is someone's grandson play that that. Now, this is
and it's worse, Like I said, it's worse cause it's
not like, well, if someone was an athlete in the
seventies it yes, right, this is this what I met,
Pam like this one. Yeah, Cecilfielder is sixty one years old.
(38:43):
We watched Prince, I mean that he and his son
in the weird coincidence, right, same number of home runs
in major leagues. And now and now you've got Prince's son,
well Jason, Yeah, crazy Prince was twenty one when he
had Prince Yeah. No, he was young. So it's okay,
he was young. He's okay, he was up. I'm not
(39:04):
judging tool. But still that's like, but that's the passage
that that's two generations, but it's two full careers, is
the point. Right, It's not like Prince Fielder's still roaming
the Yankee great Cecil field Yeah no, no. And it's not
like he only had like a cup of coffee in
the may. Oh he made it. He played a couple
of seasons and he left. Now, Cecil Fielder had a
great long career. Prince Fielder had a great long career,
(39:27):
and now here's this kid. Psychologically, it's damn it. I'm
telling you. You collect trading cards, you get nervous, you
start flipping cards over. You're like, wait, what now you
got David Ortiz's kid. Do you think he's showing up
in the twenty five Bowman set? You're like, come on, man,
you think people thought about this like twenty five years
ago with the yeah, with the Boone family when they
had like because it was like that was three generations.
(39:48):
It was Ray, Bob and Brett. Right, that's three generals.
That's it. But I remember Ray Boone and Bob Boone. Yeah,
and Brett Boone. Congratulations on the new gig Breas Yeah boy,
I'll tell you man. Yeah. Three hundred nineteen career runs
for Prince Field. He had a minute. What have I
been doing? Eight hundred career at bats? What have any
of us been doing with our lives? What have we
been doing sitting here yapping on the radio? We get

Speaker 1 (00:29):
The knickser go to the finals, the boxer go to
the finel. Go New York, Go New York, Go, Go
New York. Didn't matter, didn't matter, didn't have to because
the Pacers are doing all. We'll see you in the
next round. Indiana, see you for some payback with some
healthy players. Welcome inside, Happy Tuesday. You got a long
(00:52):
road before you get there. We're almost there. We're almost there.
The biggest step we are one ZIP series. Basic road
begins with that first step that is SERI. It's basically,
it's basically over. It's basically over. The Jason Smith Show
is my best friend, Mike Harmon. Hell, let's go. For
over forty years, Tirerack's been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive shipped fast
(01:13):
and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tire ac dot Com
is the way tire buying should be. Jason, one question
for you. Yeah, how the Knicks and you plan on
stopping this? Missus Halliburton, the rebound Tickins. They do have
(01:33):
a time out. Carlisle's gonna let him play. Calliburton, stop.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Hats Tyrese Halliburton, try to take Cleveland's heart.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Nick Fams know that one bang? Yeah, okay, Yeah, it
just so happens that, you know, we lost all our guys.
We finished the series last year against Pace with three
healthy players. We played three on five. Well, you know
what history does sometimes repeat itself, play with a six
man rotation. You know. Listen, we had the conversation last night, Hey, Knicks,
(02:08):
Pacers Eastern Conference Finals. All of a sudden, how does
that look today? Mix up one zip Pacers up two
zip going home? How does that look? We talked a
lot yesterday about the absences or likely absences of the
players for the Cavaliers, and all of them declared out.
(02:28):
Donovan Mitchell super hero kind of game until the offensive
fall that suddenly just dipped everything. Right, here's the momentum,
trying to grind out the final minute, we're in the
free throw territory, extend the game, and then he's flailing
elbows like oh no, no, no, and away we go. Listen.
We had a conversation last night on the show before
(02:50):
we dive into what happened and the absolute gagfest that
the Cavaliers put up in the final fifty seconds of
this game. Amazing. We had the conference last night, right, Okay,
all the big favorite everybody was played home. Teams are
all down ones. At the three best teams in the
NBA this season, we're all down one z it right,
Thunder go down to the Nuggets last night. Nuggets have
(03:11):
a huge comeback, the Knicks with the big win over
the Celtics, right, we saw it all right. We knew
that the Cavaliers already down won nothing, and we had
that conversation, who of those three are in the most trouble.
We had the conversation twice. We had it when both
teams in the East were down ones. It after the
Knicks game, and then we had the conversation again after
the Thunder beat the Nuggets last night, and nothing changed.
(03:35):
It was still the team that was in the most trouble,
we said was the Cavaliers because of the injury issues
what they have going on, clearly missing three guys in
their rotation. Again, we knew they weren't playing tonight. Yes,
I've been playing without Garland for a while, but when
you're missing three guys out of a big rotation, you're
gonna struggle. That being said, come on, man, you're up
(03:55):
by seven with forty eight seconds left to go, and
Siaka misses two free throws, So you're up by seven,
the Pacers missed two free throws, and you still lose
the game. And you stified stop stop right there and said, Okay,
forty eight seconds, seven point lead for the Cavs and
Pascal Siaka misses two free throws. Wow, I'd say it's over. Nope,
(04:17):
they still found a way to blow that game. They
still found away. Forget about stuff like, hey, the Blues
trying to get past Oh man, how do we get
pay You know, we lost the game in the final
two seconds. You know, we went to it to overtime
to the Jets and we lost. We're out of the playoffs.
Forget about getting past that, like Cavaliers fans, when you're
when you're looking at this season and you're saying this year,
(04:37):
where we were clearly the best team in the Eastern Conference,
second best team in the NBA, we were unstoppable, And
here you are now having to go back to Indiana
to win two games and you can't find a way
to close the last forty eight seconds with a seven
point lead. Hey, for all of us, this NBA Playoffs
so far, especially the beginning of the second round, has
(04:59):
been entertaining as hell. Every game has been terrific. It's
ended in controversy, it's ended with with gasps and and
and and shrieks and calls, and it's ended terrific. It's
all great for us, But wow, you're the cat Like,
I don't know how you get over there. I don't
know how you go to bed tonight if you're a
cas fan, like I know losses in my life, my team,
where I just sit there, I just stare at the ceiling,
(05:21):
like how do I can't I can't stop thinking, I
can't stop seeing that. I can't stop seeing it. I
don't know how you stop seeing the last forty eight
seconds of this game, which is you let somebody ride in.
You had let Nesmith ride in for a dunk off
of Siakam. Second miss free throw, the offensive foul on
on Don Mitchell, which is an offensive foul because he
throws the elbow. Then you have the turnover. Then you
(05:43):
can't get a rebound on another missed free throw. Haliburton
hits the three to win the game. Like I really,
I don't know how you get you get past that.
Tonight you get a big block in the mix, you
have the Siakam layup, made everything that comes down to it.
You got a seven point lead, and generally it's all right,
let's do the free throw shooting contest and maybe you
(06:03):
extend it and make it interesting. But not often do
you get the extra possession to get over the convergence
of just crazy circumstances. Big time plays for the Pacers
taken advantage of opportunity and look for the Cavaliers, they
got the super superhero effort, as you said, Adam Mitchell,
(06:24):
over the course of the night, but down the stretch
we get those big plays that come back to bite.
The Cavaliers can't close things out, which rotationally and certainly
losing a couple of your big men in your rotation
comes up big and fourth quarter struggles twenty one points
scored after having some of their usual offensive barrage. I mean,
(06:51):
what we've seen all year long, the one guy that's
inserted into the starting lineup usually score off the bench.
Ty Jerome one of fourteen from the field, and your
guy Nemahar didn't have to hit a shot, No, didn't
have to hit a shot, but he had thirteen assists.
This was the Donovan Mitchell scores forty eight. Yeah, I
(07:11):
mean really, no, you can sit here and say where
we have injury have this. But the other bigger, bigger
conversation to have now is that how irrelevant does the
regular season seem right now in the end. But that's
why I always say the regular season's way too long, right.
Teams pile up wins by the time you get to
like game fifty five. Teams don't care. The teams that
are teams are either I'm in playoff position, I'm trying
(07:33):
to stay in the playing round. But no one's going
crazy trying to make a big, bad run to get
to the seven through ten. No one's trying that. But
how irrelevant does the regular season seem now? With the
three again, the three teams who are the best in
the regular season, and everybody else was so far by there.
It's like when you're doing tiers for your fantasy draft
in football's like, okay, these five quarterbacks are it's Tier one.
(07:54):
I want to get one of those. Tier two. I
have to get one of these guys like Tier one Cave, Celtics, Thunder,
and then there's a long way to go, and then
Tier two is Nick's nuggets, Like that's where you have
those teams, and you look at where you're at right
now and you say, oh, my goodness, like how irrelevant
does the regular season seem? Where the Cavaliers just machine
(08:16):
like went through wins, and the Celtics were winning enough,
but you know, coming off the championship, they're not going
to extend themselves in the regular season. And the Thunder
looked absolutely unbeatable. And when you can't in the end,
and when you get to the second round of the
players and you can, you're playing in a team that
matches up well against you, because right NBA playoffs are
all about matchups. All of a sudden, everything that happened
(08:37):
those eighty two games, that's gone. Man, that's gone, well, look,
every game actually counts, right for eighty two games of
a season. We've done the math a couple of times, right,
what is in game sixty three or something about that,
And that's why we're always fighting about sixty five game
seasons or sixty eight game seasons. It's all that to
(08:58):
try to get to that point of irrelevancy of operations
shut down and just playing out the string, or for
teams that know they're going to the lottery again, playing
out the string and seeing how many ping pong balls
they can accumulate. But we get into matchups, you're gonna
have different officiating, right. We've certainly seen that through the
(09:18):
first few games of this round, and certainly go back
to the first round here you had that sequence that
was referee initiated review twice in a row, right, because
the Nesmith put back dunk took about four minutes to
get reviewed, and then in the ensuing possession after that's
upheld to make it a five point game. That's when
(09:38):
the Mitchell review happens. After he throws on the elbow
and they want to see, all right, was that his
fall is it does rise to the level of a
flagrant all of that fun stuff. Man, that was literally
three seconds off of the game clock, where all that
emotion and any momentum you had trying to close things
(09:59):
out was stunted. Not only because of the reviews, but
both of them will go against you, uh for the Cavaliers,
so you know you're doing your desperation and down the
stretch they come. Can this guy hold on and get
to the finish line? Well they did not, And we've
watched that time and again, and now we'll see if
the Timberwolves can break what is now becoming tradition of
(10:20):
fantastic finishes and thrilling upset specials of in the second
round of the playoffs. You know, sometimes you can explain
the end of games, say this is the play that
did it. This is this this situation did it. You
can look at the you know, Nesmith coming in and
and and and flying in for the rebound. Yeah, but
(10:42):
you could you just say okay that either but no,
but you put it all together. This is just a
choke job. This is an absolute gag fest. This is
I've put so much like the Blue Man group and
they put all the guy puts all the marshmallows, and
this is instead of like, you know, spewing them back
out and making a big, you know, ball of whatever,
killing this game. Know what I'm saying, It's like that's
like trying to swallow. That's what the Cavaliers did tonight.
(11:05):
This is this is such a challenge. This is one
of those Hey, I want to look up choke in
the twenty twenty five dictionary.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Here, here's the last minute of the Cavaliers game against
the Pacers. We have to keep editing that page like
it's a Wikipedia page. What do you got Frostburg to
their defense, they didn't have Lebron That is true. That
is true. And Kyrie Kyrie. Well, here's the other question, though,
does Kenny have to give back the Coach of the
Year award? And how close is he to getting fired? Now?
Record Cavaliers record before Kenny Atkins in his name, coach
(11:33):
of the Year, Cavaliers record after he's named I thought
you were going south Park there. Oh my god, they
killed Kenny. Eh what a I'd be What an absolute
gagfest by the Cavaliers for a team that was so
great in the regular season. And you know, and and
here's the thing is that you look at the teams
that have won so far here in the second round, right,
(11:55):
the Knicks and the Nuggets and the Pacers recent NBA
history going back a year, right, you had both, You
had all three of these teams. You go back a
couple of years now with the Nuggets, you had all
three of these teams who in big series, knew how
to close games, right, Like the Knicks would have been
in the East Finals last year, but they just lost
all their players and then they lose in seven to
(12:17):
the Pacers. But the Pacers made big shots. The Pacers
know how to how to navigate the end of games.
The Knicks know how to navigate the end of games
because you have Jalen Brunson, who's the most clutch. But
you got mister clutch, right, I mean, he's voted most
clutch player of the NBA. And you have the Nuggets
who also know how to navigate the end of games.
Whereas when you are the big favorites, right, and that's
why you know that, that's why the Celtics is okay,
(12:37):
that's kind of the outlier. But the Cavaliers and the
thunder who are the big favorites, this is still new
territory to them. Being the big favorites, and that was
the big question in playoffs before, but this is now.
You are overwhelming the favorites, you are the hunted, and
neither team could figure out the end of game one
of the second series. When you're playing a good team.
(12:59):
It's not a rollover series where you got whoever surviving
the playing round. These are final minutes against a couple
of teams that know how to win big games, and
you just melt. The thunder melted and the Cavaliers melt.
It's like it's like the end of Wicked Melting spoiler
everywhere everybody knows that happens, and you go, everybody, yeah,
(13:20):
they do, they know what happens. Melting. I melted. Well,
you know the Wizard of Oz they melt the same thing. Oh,
there's a lot of melting going on. There's a lot
of melting. You could but just like that Calves, right,
I'm waiting. I'm waiting for the jiff of or or
the photoshop of you know, seeing the Wicked Witch of
the West melt with the Calves hat on and a
thunder hat on. Good. I mean really, I mean I
(13:41):
saw a good gift that was Killian Murphy from Oppenheimer
with a white Sox hat on after they got shut
out by the Royals yesterday. You know, on that thousand
yards stare, you know that he gets Yeah, so that's
going around. But certainly, if you're a Calves fan and
you're wondering what you did wrong with the world, you
(14:01):
sold your soul for that Lebron James Championship, a Whilco
telling you it's it's a different thing. It's a different
animal when you come into the playoffs as the overwhelming
favorite and then you see, then you see, then we
see what you're made of. Right, then we see and
now we're seeing so far with the thunder and the
Calves exit, how about a Fresca exit swollen dome. Jason

percentage chance? Please do it? Okay, what do you got?
(16:22):
Percentage chance? Tyrese Halliburton's dad was not anywhere at the
game tonight. And I don't know anything. I'm not saying.
I'm not saying. Wait, what did I mean? I'd said
that he really wasn't anywhere in the building, that really
(16:44):
wasn't there. He wasn't there, was he? And DJ clearly
Halliburton not failing this time? Tj uh odds are he
was not? And maybe he's gonna be Rick Carl like
in those old commercials with Barry Bostwick and Halle Berry
when he unzips his face. Hey, I'm Barry Bostwick. Who's
(17:05):
Barry Boswick? He's gonna Carlile unzips his head. Gay, I'm here, Tyrts.
I made it. I made it to the game. That
would be something percentage chance. I mean, I gotta think
it's got to be eighty five ninety percent that he
wasn't there, and he wasn't there and he wasn't there. Okay,
I mean then we got facial recognition and all that
stuff that. I mean, this guy's enhanced, and I get
(17:26):
every ticket counter. I mean, there's a picture of his dad.
This man is what if he was dressed as Moondog
or sir cec oh see, now you're adding, what if
it was a full on face off experience. Yeah, I
could have been face you're seeing those things with those
crazy that you can do now. But wouldn't they do
the retinal scan that's still gonna get it.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
It doesn't go through a mask on heead No, no, no,
they would. It would be your your mask got head.
You have to put your paw, put your paw out
to get it. For the for the fingerprints, well.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
There's two grids up there, one for the mascot. He
just paused, one for the human hand. They're getting ready
to start, like middle of third quarter. The mascot finishes routine.
Just hear him, go, Terrese, it's me. It's done, Terrese,
it's done.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
It's me.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
It's me. I'm watched it real close to you. You
know what I did. I read it that Sudden Death
movie with Van Damn. But he dressed up like a
goalie and he actually out and made a save like
like on a penalty shot, I think, and it was
really big deal. And he went back and he stopped
the bomb from going off. So I said, I beat
up the mascot, and as I tied him up, he's
in the back, and so I came out, here's Tyrese. No,
(18:30):
it's really me. I can't take my head off, but
it's me. What you reference that film. I don't think
he gets enough run when we're talking about sports films
like and we talk even about bad sports film like
that vandamn movie, Dad does not get quite no, because
that's really that's where it's Enrico Palazzo on Sterry. It
(18:50):
kind of went off the red. Now now face off
with Jean Claude van Dam. I gotta explain face Okay.
So I got explained to millennials with Jean Claude van Dams. Okay.
He was in big action movies in the nineteen nineties,
and uh, he did a movie called Sudden Death and
it took place Game seven in the Stanley Cup Final
between the Penguins and the Blackhawks, and a bomb was
(19:11):
supposed to go off somewhere in the arena and his
job is to prevent the bomb from going off. Isn't
this an episode of the Office, Well, it did became
a Yeah that was threat level midnight. It became yeah,
this became threat level midnight. So the uh so, the
the plot goes and he's trying to figure out who
it is and somehow he winds up having to get
on the ice and he figures the best way for
(19:33):
him to do it is to dress up as the goal. Yeah.
So he gets the goal, so you know he's super flexible. Yeah, yeah,
the opportunity to So the goalie gets hurt and he
comes out, and that's where he gets the idea. So
he dresses up as the goal and he goes back
out and of course no one knows it's him. No
one knows it's him. He's dressed up all the goldie
pants and the coach said, you feel okay, and John
club vandam nods, Eddie goes, we'll get back out there.
(19:54):
So Jean Claude van dem gets to go out and
play in Game seven of the Stanley Cup Final and
he stopped I believe it was a penalty shot, right
like he stopped like like they get called for pedaly
shot and the black Horse get a penalty shot and
he's like relying on his reflexes and he makes a
big save right just to keep the game going. And
then not only that, but after the period's over, he
(20:16):
gets back out, he undresses, goes back and then he
you know, he saves the arena from the Vice president.
But he got out to play. I mean he got no,
he didn't get to play. He got to make a
big save that won the game. I got halland Burton's
dag is the mascot like jumping around going you know
what I just heard. I was over there the gams
over the calves Liddel. They said they're just gonna give
(20:38):
the ball down of it and let him shoot. I
just so you know, it was right there. They think
I'm just the mascot, but I'm not looking through the
top cast for death. Ready take this down a deep
dark path, all right? So she got Dan Damn powers Booth.
Yeah yeah, Raymond Barry as the vice president, and then
you go down a couple more stars. Aud you're a
(21:00):
Linley really missus Roman Road wearing a mumu. That would
have been great, Luke Robati. Was it Luke Robotiz scores
the game winning goal? I think? I think no, I
think he scores the game time goal, like the last
three seconds of regulation. Oh sorry, sorry about that, Blues fans.
He scores like the time goal with like two seconds
left in the third period because if the game ends,
(21:20):
the bomb goes off. Yeah right, and so they needed
they needed. So he scores a goal with like three
seconds left to send the game over. See, all our
lives are circle. Luke Robatai in the news having to
make the press release of the firing of Rob Blayton
a way better player. Yeah yeah, yeah, but that Luke's
run the team now looks Do you have anything now?
Luke was a better player? Ooh, Blake was a really
(21:41):
good defenseman eight seven to seven? Do you not get
what I'm trying to say here? What are you trying
to say?
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I'm still he stinks as the president. Oh I didn't
think he needs a better player. I think, oh, oh,
he's a better player than he was a president. Well yeah, yeah,
that's obvious. Yeah, I think said he's a better player
than Luke Robati, Like that would.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Be talking about Luke Robotik. Yeah, he's talking about Luke robotide.
They okay, you're talking about the player, not former guest
of the show, not Rob Blake, former player executive. No
no no, and Rob Blake out of the conversation. Okay,
all right, very good, just like robotize. Yeah, yeah, okay,
all right, all right. That's was that Van Damn stuff.
Was that before his uh accepting the visit? Oh? I
(22:23):
was after that was after? Yeah, this is this is
when Van dam was like at the height of it.
This is like after what was the what was his
big movie when he when he broke out, Well, his
name was Chance. Why is your name Chance? Because my
mama took one, uh you know, Blood Sports, Bloodsport, Yeah,
blood Sports. After Blood then he had like a he
had a better Steven Sagal career. Kickbox Yeah, Double I,
(22:45):
Double Team, Sure, sure, Universal Soldier. He did a lot
of really bad action movies. Yeah, he was twenty seventeen spendables.
If you get that, that's good. But look, I mean this,
this Cavaliers loss. I can't get over the how it's
(23:09):
become almost not commonplace. But teams can't close, like if
you're down five for the minute left to go, Hey,
we're still in it, man, Well but he's still in it.
But even your you're champions, you're asking that question after
the game against the Knicks, right, coaching wise, Yeah, why
didn't you adjust? Why didn't you? James? Look how successful
you were inside the arc in the first half and
(23:30):
then you abandoned it completely. But the question of who's
getting the ball in crunch time to close things out,
Jalen Brown was shooting terribly, Jason Tatum kept inexplicably deciding
he was gonna take two or three steps back beyond
the three point line. I mean all of that to
say that that is the question of the NBA playoffs.
You're one of the only teams that have one of
(23:51):
those guys. I know, of course he didn't really do
much of anything in overtime, but in the fourth quarter
he did. Yeah, and he did fine in the fourth quarter. Yeah,
the extra stands and not so. Yeah, but that's okay,
it's okay, Yeah, if you there, if one game the
other guys can step up and do something, I'm okay
with that. I'm alright with that. And defensive effort from
Cat for crying out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I about you
(24:12):
all of a sudden. Hey, you gotta play how many
games they play again tomorrow? But I'm exhausted. Yea, that
would be better if it was Thursday, Yeah, yeah, Thursday,
or Friday, yeah, Saturday, Saturday, Sunday, that extra day. Uh.
The Golden State Warriors lead the Tea Wolves right now
thirty six twenty four with about five minutes to go
in the second quarter. That's the good news for the Warriors. Yep.
(24:36):
The bad news is Steph Curry grabbed at his left
hamstring a few minutes ago, left the game, was brought
to the locker room, and we have not seen him
or had any word on him since. Again, grabbed his
left hamstring and went off, asked out today, gotta get
out And uh, it was just after he was playing
(25:00):
a little bit of defense and he was moving to
try to try to cover a ball, try to cover
a ball screen, and he just made a turn that
didn't look great, and he started grabbing at his hamstring.
Stayed in the game for another couple of minutes, tried
to go up and down the floor, but then the
next time he came back down defensively, he was limping.
He is now off the floor. He did he did
(25:21):
walk off the floor under his own power. However, we
are getting this in from Steve to Sager. We have
some breaking news on this. Can we get that? Can
we get that line of here? By w Steve de
Sager's is right, he's got he's got it. He's like
waving his arms. He's waving his arms. He's got it.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Well, they were up ten when he went out in
the first. If Steph Curry is not going to return,
it is being called a strained hamstring. Meanwhile, Draymond Green
was fourteen points to lead the team five of six shooting.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Wow, thank you, Steve O. No more Steph Curry in
this game, no more, as he is not going to
return to the game. With this injury and the Tea
Wolves now starting to play a little bit better, they
have now cut it to eight. So three and a
half to go in the second quarter with Draymond on fire,
(26:10):
maybe maybe Draymond score sixty. Maybe that's what happens tonight.
Draymond score six, five to six from the field, four
to five from three point range. Already. Conversely, little Buddy
healed back to being little Buddy heel. He's zero for five,
So they're gonna have to navigate this game without Steph Kerz. Hey,
hey Warriors fans, you want your flowers. Win this game
(26:31):
and beat the Tea Wolves, and I will give you
some flowers because the last be mad at that. Look
look the Rob Parker, Kevin Washington, the odd couple they
were on right before us. They do last call every day, right,
last call, last call of the night. And you know
one of their big things they do, and it's the
last one. The last call came through mad at us
because I said last week that the Warriors gonna get
thumped in Game seven. Neglos, you tell Jason Smith and
(26:54):
Mike Carmon to take more phone call. I gotta call.
He said they were gonna lose. I'm like, okay, all right,
all right, so now you know people calling other shows
to get mad at us. Okay, uh, but you win
this hold on to win this game, I'll give you
some flowers. You want flowers, I'll take the call. I'll
give you flowers, and I will even play Miley Cyrus's flowers.
Oh wow, we'll even play those. Getting sued for that?
(27:16):
No is she?
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
No? What for well? And that it's derivative of someone else,
like just like every other song that's going on out there.
I will play some shi you stole my song? Why not?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Deserted from Bruno Mars. So who steals from everybody? So
what okay? Hang on, Okay, so the steal from everybody? Yeah,
yeah we do. Yeah, we just bridges. Yeah, just take
that ball away? Uh? So Mary, is it Bruno Mars suing?
Is that? I don't think he is. Okay, somebody else
is suing Miley. I'll look it up. Okay, So Miley
(27:49):
ray Cyrus is getting sued. So we'll play Killers songs,
I said, because their lead singer is Brandon Flowers, and
I think we're okay. We could play that song from
Pulp Fiction. Ye haven't been Flowers on the All the
chief Uh? Yes, he also Brandon Flower the Chiefs as
well well, but it's a different Brandon. But it's Yeah,
she's facing a lawsuit claiming that her song Flowers and
(28:12):
fringes on the copyright of Bruno Mars. It is, but
who's just gonna trust any Mike? But who's suing who?
But that's the thing, it doesn't have to be him,
he doesn't have to. But who's suing? Is? Like it
is this shadow company investments. Is that a real company
that sounds like it sounds like a shell court. It's
a shewu. I know way too much about it. It's
(28:33):
a dummy corporation, shell corporation. They're not for real that
they're siphoning all the monday theyway and again a guy,
a guy who's made made a career off of h
collaborative efforts without the other party knowing in terms of
sound style, et cetera. Exit out about a fresco in
my opinion, you know it's okay? Did you say that
(28:54):
the Jason Smith Show is my best friend Mike Carmon
time out to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sport. But guy who's been called Tyres Halliburton's
dad of Fox Sports Radio, Oh wow, I don't even
know where that goes. He's also been banned from the
NBA playoffs.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Steve de Sager, So of the Lakers, the Golden State
is leading at Minnesota thirty eight to twenty eight late.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
In the second quarter, and we'll get to that Indiana win.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
But of course the news, as we'd mentioned, the Warriors
will not have Steph Curry for the rest of the
night due to the hamstring strain, but Minnesota at home
to open the second round series from three point range
is oh for fourteen. Meanwhile, somehow Indiana's up two games
to none, winning at Cleveland again tonight in a late
comeback one twenty to one nineteen Tyres Haliburton the game
(29:40):
winning three pointer after his offensive rebound. He had nineteen
points nine rebounds. The Pacers were down seven with under
a minute left. The stat is in the last twenty
five plus years of the NBA postseason until this year,
only one team had ever come from being down seven
or more in the last minute to win a playoff game,
(30:01):
and the Pacers did it a week ago, and the
Pacers did it again tonight. They're up two games to none.
Out for the Cavs this evening due to injuries. Evan Mobley,
Darius Garland, DeAndre Hunter, and Donovan Mitchell scored forty.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yebron Kyrie, Brad Doherty and that John Anderson verjaw. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Sure, Cleveland was up twenty early second quarter and could
not put it away. The NBA's Executive of the Years,
Oklahoma City general manager Sam Presty. The thunder went sixty
eight and fourteen.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Wasn't Nico Harrison. It was these are awards you don't want.
Like everybody that's winning a big executive award at the
end of the season, their teams are all down big
in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
When they said Presty won and it was his first,
I said, are you kidding me? This guy's never won
this award before. It turns out he's finished second three times.
So congratulations and maybe not a good thing as the
series continues. Florida Gators gave coach Todd golden and extension
through twenty thirty one.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
He just won the national title.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
His annual salary is now over six point five million dollars.

not pitch.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
That's why it is why they won. Okay, very good,
good sure, or maybe he pitched for the Padres. I
just didn't know. Miami and ten innings beat the Dodgers
five four. LA outfielder Tasker Hernandez, we mentioned on last
night's show, was injured. They're calling it a string growing.
He's on il His thirty four RBIs we're leading the majors.

Golden State still with a twelve point lead over Minnesota
right now, a minute to go before halftime. We got
more NBA and the way we have the play of
the day and a story that I guarantee you will
make you feel old. You know what I normally hear like, Oh,
(32:53):
may me feel old? I hear, Oh, the story has
made me feel old. No, this is one of those. Oh,
this will cut through and make you feel old. Great,
just what we need. It's next right here, Jason and Mike.
Fox Sports.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I want my first Grammy. All right, Warriors fans, you
want your flowers? Win this game without Steph. I'll give
you flowers. So I will give you all the first
minus two for the second half. Forty four thirty one
Golden State lead over Minnesota at halftime, but Steph Curry
ruled out of this game with a hamstring injury. Second
(33:33):
half upcoming now this we could see a tremendous second half.
We might, we might maybe, but we may not see
anything as good as what we've already seen earlier tonight.
And that brings us to the Play of the Day.
For over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Shipped fast and freed, backed by free road hazard protection
(33:56):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation iraq dot
com is the way tire buying should be. So let's see,
we have Halliburton, we have the Hurricanes. We got Halliburton,
we have the Hurricanes. Just excited. It can't be about
the Knicks. Yeah, well we go. We could play the
final call of last night's game, So let's see what
(34:18):
we and the Mets are losing. So yeah, yeah, but
that's not anything new. We would delete stuff in the
day after anyway. Uh So let's have the play the
day on behind for Martin Uck. That one goes back
to the point of Slavens and they scar shake up
slaven through a screen. Carolina wins game one and over
(34:41):
time on the call. Take that, Alex Ovechkin. No no, no, no,
this press bonanza t this is what what do I
always say? We want hockey together. I always say the
same thing. When the defenseman have the puck and and
their screens in front, and they have a shot, take it.
(35:03):
Just rip it, take it, take it, take it. Don't
look for a better shot, because chances are you're not
gonna complete three or four pas. Take a shot. Just
throw it at the neck, because that's how you never
know what kind of bounce you're gonna get. I'd rather
have a bad shot from the point, then oh we
try to do something really cool and not get anything off.
Just hit the other team with overwhelming number of shots
(35:26):
and the puck is gonna hit the back of the neck.
But spread spread the ice, right, I mean in terms
of the concentration, right, We take it from there. Take
it onto the pitch. For soccer, same thing. Take the
shot from from deeper range. At least make the goalie work.
You get an odd Caaren. We're talking about rebounding and
offensive rebounding in the NBA, and it all works the
same way. You get crazy bounce as crazy opportunities and
(35:49):
maybe an easy put back or the screen is just
enough to obscure the vision and give you a clear
shot on goal, telling you just take the shot. How
you know how many times I would I would tell
my shoes, would say shoot it. You can't dribble the
ball into the net. And these are all good shoots, Jay,
these are all good players. Take the shot. You can't
dribble it into the net. Take the shot. Take the shot.
(36:12):
Shoot it because I say, could shoot the jay, because
you know what's pretty is the goalie going to the
back of the net to pick the ball out. That's
what's pretty. I think that's great. But that's what's pretty.
God doesn't have to be shoot it. Shoot shoot it.
They played with the shoot it. You know what I'm saying.
When I would coach same thing, that's that I would
tell you he's just sports. Yeah, she wasn't coach hockey.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Roller.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Now remember he was a great hockey scorer. I was
so he loved making the goalie go and do the walk.
That was always the best. Oh yeah, Pam's got a
got a bunch of video. Yeah, you got a bunch
photo shot not in the not in I haven't played
in like Ai with his head superimposed skater. I think
I stopped playing when I was like in my early thirties,
(36:55):
so I haven't played in probably twenty years. But oh yeah, no, no, no,
you'd see the man, you'd see the kid. How did
he put that in? He knew, he knew, he knew.
How many hats did you take away when you had
a hat tree? Oh? So many, so many, so many,
there's why, oh that had any distribution process. Let me
tell you. I promise this story, but I could, I can.
I can easily tell you a story about that in
(37:17):
a few minutes. No, boy, I promise this though. If
you want to feel old. And I always say, what
what did I always say whenever somebody I watch, whenever
their grandson it becomes a professional athlete, whatever it is,
and they're on the radar, That's when I'm gonna feel
And I always say, Tony Dorset, Right, Tony Dorset, Anthony Dorsett,
that was what I was worried about. Tony Anthony Dorsett. No, no, no,
(37:40):
because that's a long time ago. But this is worse
because Tony Dorsett was big in the seventies and eighties, yeah.
But today Jaden Fielder, who was just signed by the
Milwaukee Brewers, hit a home run in his first professional
at bat in the Arizona Complex League. He is the
son of Princefielder, who was, of course the son of
(38:00):
Cecil Fielder. So now Cecil Fielder, whoever watching so much
in the nineties back to back fifty home run near
Cecil was one of the most fun guys to watch it. Uh,
Cecil Fielder's grandson is now potentially going to be someone
we hear about, maybe a major leaguer one day. But
he was just signed by the Brewers. His first professional
(38:22):
at bats all research media today he had a home run.
This is someone's grandson play that that. Now, this is
and it's worse, Like I said, it's worse cause it's
not like, well, if someone was an athlete in the
seventies it yes, right, this is this what I met,
Pam like this one. Yeah, Cecilfielder is sixty one years old.
(38:43):
We watched Prince, I mean that he and his son
in the weird coincidence, right, same number of home runs
in major leagues. And now and now you've got Prince's son,
well Jason, Yeah, crazy Prince was twenty one when he
had Prince Yeah. No, he was young. So it's okay,
he was young. He's okay, he was up. I'm not
(39:04):
judging tool. But still that's like, but that's the passage
that that's two generations, but it's two full careers, is
the point. Right, It's not like Prince Fielder's still roaming
the Yankee great Cecil field Yeah no, no. And it's not
like he only had like a cup of coffee in
the may. Oh he made it. He played a couple
of seasons and he left. Now, Cecil Fielder had a
great long career. Prince Fielder had a great long career,
(39:27):
and now here's this kid. Psychologically, it's damn it. I'm
telling you. You collect trading cards, you get nervous, you
start flipping cards over. You're like, wait, what now you
got David Ortiz's kid. Do you think he's showing up
in the twenty five Bowman set? You're like, come on, man,
you think people thought about this like twenty five years
ago with the yeah, with the Boone family when they
had like because it was like that was three generations.
(39:48):
It was Ray, Bob and Brett. Right, that's three generals.
That's it. But I remember Ray Boone and Bob Boone. Yeah,
and Brett Boone. Congratulations on the new gig Breas Yeah boy,
I'll tell you man. Yeah. Three hundred nineteen career runs
for Prince Field. He had a minute. What have I
been doing? Eight hundred career at bats? What have any
of us been doing with our lives? What have we
been doing sitting here yapping on the radio? We get
