Speaker 2 (01:09):
Is breaking this trophy and assorted other stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
It's kind of a cool day at the track and
obviously the Derby tonight a little before seven o'clock on NBC.
I like, I don't like journalism. I love journalism, and
not just because he's name journalism. I just think he's
gonna win, and win by a lot. Michael, do you
have a Derby opinion or are you just listening to
what I'm saying and diving in.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I've I've talked to a couple, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Obviously I was playing in that golf thing, so I
was getting some turning from I'm always the kind of
person that looks not at the favorites, especially in the Derby.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Where and I.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Don't know recent history, Dick is the favorites thumb better
at Kentucky Lately.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
In the twenty tens, the favorites did very well since
Crazy Rich strike. It's been a little chaotic the last couple.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Of years because you have the twenty horse field and
nobody kind of knows what might happen and you could
get a bad trip.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Whole first quarter mile is the race It's like if
they let me bet after the first quarter mile, I'll
do a lot. You can't do that, and it's no
live better, you know they do it it. Ever, ever,
we don't have any.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
When that.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
When that, you know on a plane, when that starts
out there a lot better.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
You gotta be quick on thet be quick, quick on
the trigger there after dollar amount already exactly.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
The one thing I thought was interesting Dick was the
one jockey, smith, Mike Smith, who was going to be
riding in his twenty eighth straight, which I think easier
either as a record or and his horse got scratched,
right he guess yeah, yep, he's good, right, SMI Smith.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Is very good.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
He won the Triple Crown on Justify, roade Zenda, he
rode Holy Bowl.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
I mean he rode a lot of great and.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
No other horse would say, hey, we'll take him now,
because you're not going to your jockey is your jockey.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
He could have the could have okay, but they chose
not to.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
You can scratch a jockey, well yeah, and you know
all kind of things you can do.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
You do whatever you want them on the I l anyway,
we'll get He tore a Hammy. Yeah, well we'll get
into the derby playoffs NBA.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
They're not playing, Okay, So two Game seven's one tonight
Denver minus point and a half over the Clippers at
Bette Parks tomorrow Houston, which if people didn't stay up
last night one at Golden State last night stayed alive.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
They are minus two.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
And a half at home against Golden State in the
game seven. Game one's tomorrow, Cleveland minus eight over Indiana.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Cleveland minus five hundred to win the series.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Indiana's plus plus three seventy to win. And then Monday
night we'll start the Celtics in the next Boston minus
eight and a half, Boston minus eight thirty five to
win the series against the next the next are plus
five point fifty And.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Would would you lay the five hundred on Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I don't think they're gonna lose. I know, I know
nobody wants to lay that kind of money.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
I'm not touching the Boston one. I mean, I have
no doubt my mind Boston.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Will win that series.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
But for that money, I think the Knicks could win
a couple of games.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
I think just because they're Knicks and Brunson and that
kind of thing. And again I think Boston got hurt.
Some guys hurt, right, I mean, there's how.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
They had a hamstring, and he didn't play at the
back end of the series the last three games, so
I'm not sure what his status is.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Tatum missed the game, Porzingis got banged up in the face.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Right, Brown came into the playoffs not good, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
They just they look up there, they're Boston until somebody
beats him. And look, the Knicks were this version of
the Knicks. We're created for one reason, the match up
with Boston. We'll see how they do. That's why they
got McHale Bridges to guard Jason Tatum. We'll see how
that plays at it. I know everybody's seen it a
million times now, but we mentioned on the show last
week that Jalen Brunson is clearly now the most accomplished

(04:46):
player in Big Five history. Well, he just added to
it again the other night with the last second play
where that's one of the great crossovers of all time.
I mean, he's going hard to his left hard, he
stops the defender.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Thompson keeps going.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Then he brings the ball behind behind his back between
his legs, walks into a.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Three where there was nobody there good.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
With Forest, and after the game he said, I didn't
want to shoot that soon. It was I mean, come on, Jailing,
I understand what you say.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
That it's awesome, but when you're shooting a three that soon,
really you don't need a three, right, Even that he
probably was thinking I should get closer.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
No, he was still when you're that open, and it
was it was just shoot.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
It was Michael Jordan esque ninety eight when.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
You did that.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
No, it was just I mean, he's been the most
clutch player in the league and he's phenomenal. Will be
fascinating to see how assuming Jrue Holiday is okay.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
That's another that's going to be a fun matchup to watch.
It was not okay. I mean we know that, right, White.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
O'd guard Jalen Brunts and some But yeah, I can't
wait to see that series. We're talking about the Phillies
this time last week. They were brutal, playing much better now.
They're within three and.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
A half of the Mets, twelve and five at home.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Nine on the road.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Did you see the number going back to twenty one?

Speaker 3 (06:05):
They are forty five and fifteen against the Gnatsnts are
not good.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
But that's that's stilling. And again my hat's off to
the Phillies. You gotta beat teams like that. But when
people get all excited, you're not playing the Nats in October.
Now you might play the Diamond Back. You don't think payoffs.
They're RelA they should be releged. They should have relegation.
The Colorado Rockies, the White Sox. Then that's who am

(06:30):
I leaving at. I'm probably leaving a couple of Colorado.
Every sport has bad teams.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah yeah, but my baseball gosh, I mean, and that's
just it's like, I.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Can't believe they actually won a World Series.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
It's hard to boys.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
And Miami won too, and then Anthony Rendon got they
all got mon in his bag.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
And you know who didn't win a World Series? Bryce Harp.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah, well just saying he looks disinterested, by the way,
and I don't know why, because that's the last thing Bryce.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Ever looks waiting for October.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
But but to your point, Mike, yeah, you're beating up
on the bad teams as you're supposed to do. But
don't let's not get over the moon about this. It's
not like they're back on track. They're still they still
don't look great in the areas that we know they're
not great in. Uh, they're just beating in FEARI your
team last night was a perfect game.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
You get five and a half out of your starter, yep,
and they were bringing them back kind of whatever. The
bullpen gives up nothing and you had two home runs
in the seventh. That's how the Phillies. That is the Phillies.
That's the Phillies. But you know, we'll see. Uh, golf
is where this week, Mike Houston, where it was raining in.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Lots and you'll have something for us at a ten o'clock.
Yesk of shuffles.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, here's a here's my trivia question for this week.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Oh boy, who can name, without looking Kyle the.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Teams that are in first place in baseball in their
respective divisions?

Speaker 4 (07:58):
American League, East, American League, it's not. Is it the Toronto?

Speaker 1 (08:05):
No?

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Is it the Yanks Yankees?

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
American League Central, No, I'm not even sure. Minnesota, No, Seattle, Wow, No,
Seattle's not in its not in the Central.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
That's all right.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Detroit, that's right.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Detroit's off to a really good trest record in the
American and one of the best pitchers in baseball.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
And they were like the best team like in the
last two months last year. Right, they were really good.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Tarik scoob up American League West. It's not the Angels.
That's where I'll say Seattle, not Oakland, Seattle.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yeah, they're playing really well. By the way, Mike Trout,
I are done National They say it's not serious.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
This is not hard. National League East to.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
National League Central, Kubbies correct, National League West, Dodgers Dodgers
over the National League.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
A lot of a lot of good.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
I thought, maybe there'll be a few more surprises, but like, uh, oh,
can I know one thing before because I'm gonna forget.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
I won't forget it. So in the NBA the other night, Yes,
it's just a ray.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
It could be.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
In fact, they got two of them.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
So there's there's two hours, there's an hour, and there's
the non call in the Detroit game.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Okay, yeah, and okay, whether you found found found Yeah, Okay.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
The NBA comes out afterwards and says, yeah, we missed
the call. Why in God's name would you came out?
What purpose does that serve? And this was even before
the official ref report.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yeah, I will say this, I don't have a real
problem with it. I like accountability. You just say, normally
nobody ever wants to say they messed up.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
That's fair. I have no problem with that.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
But but what do you so Detroit sits here and goes,
they just told us that they missed the.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Call and we would have won the game because the
guy would have made two or the three free throws
were assuming. That's all I'm saying is.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
If you're Detroit, what does it do for Detroit.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
To say, Yeah, accountability is one thing, but repercussions to it.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
I agree with that, it doesn't I'm all for transparencetella, trates,
whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
We have a real problem with that in the world. Yeah,
I'm good with the truth.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
But if you watch that whole play right and and
heart clearly did Fallum on the three, there's no argument
about that. I don't really know what Josh was thinking about.
It was like not and he's a very smart player.
Wasn't one of the smarter plays. The Knicks had the
ball on the baseline, they had it and they got
Paris just totally fouled. The guy tipped the ball out
that was a fould they also missed, which was a

(10:36):
much harder play to sick.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
So, I mean every game in the NBA when they
do that that two minute report or whatever they call it.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
There's always like four or five calls. All I'm saying
basketball is by farther hard exactly.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
So you know, the Knicks can say, well, we got
away with that one, but like you said that we
got It's just to me just irritating to find.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Out after the fact. Oh yeah, my guy got hammered.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
I actually like it. I'm fine.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
I'm fine with it. I wish the Ncate College would
do something like that. There's zero accountability and officiating a
college basketball nothing.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
It's just brutal. It's brutal because to Mike's point, Detroit.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
Just has to sit there and eat it and that,
and the next thing you know, they should be up
three to two and nothing.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
You're there's a game seven. Yeah, I mean, I don't
know what happens in the game, you know whatever. My
other thing was there night, and I know this has
been so Rojas two outs in the ninth INNY. So
he hits the ball out in the outfield and he
goes to stretch into a triple and he barely makes it.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Could whatever could have been out?

Speaker 4 (11:32):
What was the score at the time? They were down too,
they were down to two outs, two outs. Now everybody
roasted them. To Topper sat him yesterday. I believe whatever
Harper does base running mistakes or whatever you're telling me,
that nobody in his life taught Rojas, dude, your run,

(11:52):
Your run is irrelevant.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
I am amazed.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
When I played sports and I watched people plays, you
had to have an IQ.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
There was a.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Certain amount of I you you see it all the time.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
You see it in football. You see it.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
And the people that just they don't understand the time,
the score.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
What we have to do. Rojas getting the third doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
It doesn't even matter if he circles the basis, Okay,
you're still down. So he potentially, if he gotten thrown out,
takes the bat out of whoever was up next with
a chance to tie the games.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Game's over and again and Topper but again it was
up there doesn't matter. But Rojas has to know that.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
And again it's just it's basic and I'm not trying
to pick on him, uh, but my gosh, like where
when people grow up playing sports now do they just
not know? I mean, we see guys all the time,
you know it's and it just bothers me. It's one
thing if you make a bad play, you make an error,
you make an error, Okay, stuff happens. But when you

(12:52):
make a brain error. You know, like that play where
Harper a couple years ago in the playoffs went past
second base and they threw him.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Didn't cost to Phillies.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
I don't think if i'm I think they still want
that with the Brave Series, so they still want it.
But my god, Bryce Harper has to know you go
to second base, yeah, stop. If the balls caught, you
get back to first. If the ball's not caught, you're
going to score anyway. Yeah, but he's he's one of
the worst base runners in baseball.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
And he's going to get away with it because he's
Bryce Harper. I understand that he does some things that
are just inexplicable for a guy.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Who's obviously very small's over aggressive.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Right, there's chances and then there's risks, and then there's stupider.
It's just like, what are we doing there? There's something
doesn't make any sense. By the way, Schwarber's got ten
home runs. Yeah, I'm second sixty and he doesn't even
warm up till June. He's gonna catch papers his last
four years.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
He's going to end up with like two hundred home runs. Yeah,
that's unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
Turner is hitting then he uh, you know, can't catch
even things out in.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
The field rout.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
He is a bait. He's not a good.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
Shorts cannot keep him at shorts out.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
I don't know what you did to They're not they're
going to but it's just it's a hard watch.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Is brutal, all right? A couple of NBA quick were
used to price Houston last night. Yeah, yeah, I thought
Olden State Adam when they won the two.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
But yeah, it's again it's the classic young legs versus
old legs, and so far in the playoffs young legs.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
Or you weren't surprised what happened with the Lakers, then you.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Well no, I mean I I picked that last Saturday.
I mean I just said you can watch the games,
and I didn't know JJ Redick was going to leave
his whole team right there for I have which you
could just see the meltdown coming with eight minutes to
go in the fourth quarner of that game, and you
could see they weren't at the defense.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
And you saw Lebron injured his leg yet, right, you
saw that he's got leged whatever.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
But and this I'm not I understand why he treated
for Luca.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
You can't, you know not, But you know, Luca's been
a pro for twelve years.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Now, is he ever going to change? Well, clearly the
people in Dallas said didn't think so. Right.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
They made their decision based on the fact that he's
not just a bad defensive player, but he's indifferent.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
He doesn't even care go buys the other night right nine,
he doesn't even try.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
And again that was that was what killed him ultimately
in the finals last year.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
He couldn't guard anybody, which you said, Boston's going to
go right now, but they just crushed him.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
And yeah, he was like a he was like a
mannequet in this series against Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
I mean, even for him, he was brutal.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
And he's one of the greatest offensive players we've ever seen,
no question.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Now, he's legendary.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
But if you if you account for fifty or sixty
points and assists and points and give up seventy. You're
really not helping it helping the cause here. And that's
a decision they made in Dallas. And you know, right
now they're looking stupid because Irving got hurt and Davis
was hurt most of the time.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
But let's see how it plays out longer term.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Because and Reddick the next day, and look, he had
a bit of a meltdown himself at the end.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
I don't really know what he was thinking, but the following.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Day two people don't like to be criticized.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Whether there's that.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
The next day, when he had time to think about it,
he said, you know what, we got to get in
better shape.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Well he was talking about one guy, yeah, and is
he And look he's the Mike.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
I was thinking about this, and I know we told
this story before, but it's the classic. Well, look, I've
made eight hundred bizillion dollars doing it my way, and.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
He's going to make three hundred and fifty more when
they signed.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Right, they're going to pay him. He ain't ever going
to get in cheape.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
So so he's saying, I'm an All star, I'm a
first team All NBA guy.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Why should I do what you want me? To do.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
And look that there's the there's the incredible talents.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Joel Embiid would be would be one.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
You say the same thing about Joe like four years ago,
you said, and Joe's like, what I'm I'm finishing second
MVP and he did.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Right.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
There's the incredible talents, yes, and then there's the next
level guys, the Jordan's, the Kobe's of the world, Lebron
getting incredible shape, yep, and it's it's.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Just such for them.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
They're just gonna do whatever it takes to win the game.
And that's I don't see that with Luca. I haven't
seen that with him beat obviously, and there's and there's
a number of other guys like that.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
And only the funny thing is like when I look
at Joker, he doesn't look like he's like you look
at Joker, he is in shape.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
I know he's never.

Speaker 6 (17:15):
He is.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
I don't know what's going to happen in game seven.
Then I don't think they're winning the championship even if
they beat the Clippers. But my god, is it is
it time that we just appreciate he's awesome? What this
guy is Now, he's gonna go down as an all timers.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
I mean, he's going to.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
The whole there's no doubt he's legendary. And when Murray
scores forty, they went they got a chance.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, yeah, so that's that's an interesting game. But yeah,
the whole Lakers thing, I know, people had jumped on
their bandwagon.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
We have a Jansen Lakers bandwagon. Jump here.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
I think good.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
I believe we did.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
I always had my at least doubts just because of
the whole Luca factor. What's gonna happen? And look, the
one game I'll get my pass. He was sick, that's fine,
but god, he just doesn't even to what you say.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
And you get in against athletes like they have on Minnesota.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Many and okay, he's got athletes. And I mean all
these teams now have athletes, right and Houston's going to
go out this offseason. I'm telling you right now, they're
going to be in the Giannis or the or the
Kevin Durant whatever.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Well, I would say to Houston, don't do what Phoenix did.
Don't bump up all of your young talent right to
get it. Get an old guy Yiannis and worse souther
than Durant.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
I certainly would.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Yeah, I I but okay, she's got like twenty draft picks.
I mean they can give up a lot.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
They might have the sixers draft pick the.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
Better who doesn't have a sixer stre do you know what?

Speaker 2 (18:35):
That's a very good point. That's a very good point.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
But again, and you know, to like you what you
were saying, Dick, Luca probably sits there okay and says, hey,
I got to the finals last year. Yeah, and why
do we lose that? And there'll be a reason why they.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Lost like they lost because A the Celtics were better,
but be he couldn't guard Buddy and they got to
the Western Conference finals two years before.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
So Luca can sit there and say, hey, sure I'm ACCOMPLI.
It's like Joe.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
And when they get to the second round we losing
game well, you know, we almost got to the third round.
You know, come on, man, was the issue with the
excuse me? The teams like the Lakers and the Warriors.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
I mean, I don't know what's gonna happen in Game
seven with the Warriors, but is it because they're they're
they're too top heavy, they have their two stars, and
then after that you just have guys. And if you
don't have Steph, Curry or Luca putting up forty points
a night, yeah, then you're you're towing.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
It's a thin line now, nd that's the NBA.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
A lot of teams ture of both teams, no question.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
You know you watch the Warriors, you know, as good
a player as Jimmy Butler is obviously Curris all time,
all timer.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
And I was actually thinking the last night.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
In the two thousands, you know, Lebron would be the guy.
People would say it's the best player. I got no
problem with that. But I'm telling you Curry is in
a photo.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
From where would you put rop in that? Where would
you put Duncan? And and Duncan to me? Yeah, and
Duncan's in the hunt for sure, and you and the
guy on the phoenix.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
In the hut?

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Yeah, where you think Steph's passed him?

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Stephan has definitely passed Durand Yeah, but I think the
guy on this might be number one.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
I think the guy that went stained tomorrow night look at.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
I think Duncan was one of the most under awesome, valued,
great players.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Did you see the picture.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
Together that they had on ESPN yesterday? They had when
Byanna standing next to Robinson and Duncan.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
And they look like midget.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Duncan looks like he's about six. Poor someone you said, when.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Byana has actually added an in, they think he's seven
to six.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Now, soow, So here's here's the problem with Golden State specifically,
right Butler at twenty seven last night, Curry at twenty nine. Yeah,
I do not like Draymond Green a little bit. I
just think he's a clown and a clown and and
and look, is he a smart defensive player at one
hundred percent?

Speaker 2 (20:58):
He can't jump, he can't shoot. You know what he is.
He's a better version of PJ.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
I knew you were gonna say that that's is, and
yet he's still out there acting like he's some super
But it's fine.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
I know.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
To me, he has no legs left and he cost
him a title.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
He can't people will blow by him at will. If
he has to come out on the court and defend anybody,
he can't do it.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Can you?

Speaker 3 (21:26):
I just think he's taking up space and the rest
of their guys. Buddy, can you explain did he get
the start?

Speaker 2 (21:32):
No idea? Pay? You can't you explain?

Speaker 4 (21:34):
Jonathan Kaming it to me because he was a top pick, right, yeah,
I mean he doesn't he doesn't get off the.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Bench, Moody, they just have Podempsky.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Whatever you say that these are just gotten.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Yeah, they're just God. It's like the Lakers. If if
Reeves doesn't have a good game and he wasn't good,
they don't really. But that when you, Kyle, when you
set up your teams, the NBA is like this. Now,
it's very hard hard to have two really good guys
and then have nine plays.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Well that's what's so awesome about you kick Oklahoma City.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
The city they built it again, and Boston's got it.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah, you just smart guys, right, that's the recipe.

Speaker 6 (22:12):
Denver.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
I still think Denver has it or has it.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, they got a lot of good players. Yeah, yeah, no,
it's doable.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
But yeah, I mean you get these guys like Lebron's
making a Brazilion. Doncon just gonna make a bazillion. Kyle's point,
it's hard to get other guys. Yeah, you can't pay
them all. It just doesn't work that way.

Speaker 5 (22:28):
And it's funny because I think Phoenix had it and
then they decided to cave and go in the route
of having, you know, two superstars and the.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Rest if the stats when they were up to zip.
If they had won that series against Milwaukee in twenty
twenty one, they would have probably never made that trade.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
No, no, no doubt, and who knows what they would have been.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
That's crazy, you know. I'm looking at the Lakers the
other night, so Pachimore. Thirty nine minutes, Lebron and Doncic's
forty each breeze forty one. Their bench scored a total
of four points. Yeah, you can't win in the NBA
like that.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
But if you're the Lakers, how do you go out? Now,
Lebron I think has a player option. I'm I'm guessing
he's gonna play. I mean, I know, maybe he won't.
We can still play.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
It's not like it.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
But how do you go out and fill out a bench?

Speaker 3 (23:16):
I mean, I don't know, but it's hard because typically
the guys you're going to get are on on one
year contracts for.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Old and as the Sixers proved old and one year
the rookie.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
The rookie that they got that I thought the Sixers
may maybe should have taken. He didn't really come on.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
The guy from Tennessee, Remember they traded him and and
then the trade.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
That, Oh that's right.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
Do I have that right, Dalton Connect?

Speaker 2 (23:38):
I think I have it.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
He was supposed to get traded for the center, then
they didn't.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
They avoided the trade Williams from Charlotte. He was hurt.
Do I have that right? I think I have it right?

Speaker 4 (23:47):
That is correct?

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Okay, thank you. And but what happened to him, he
just disappeared.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah, I don't get hurt, Dalton Connect. Maybe Bernard knows
if he.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Liked him now he was healthy.

Speaker 7 (23:57):
He honestly just didn't play well in the second half,
and there was like the the weirdness like reintroducing to
the team kind of thing, like you took a couple
of games off after like the whole trade saga and
all that.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Okay, so it's just a mess, yeah, because I mean
their bench was just I mean, it killed them in
the series because they had They certainly had the game,
the Game four one in Minnesota, they had the game one,
but their guys, the x last three wins were by
three to two and one.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Think about that. It does tell you something.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
By the way everybody criticized Radick for not using his bench.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Maybe he knew something. Maybe his bench was that bad.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
He'd rather have guys out there they can't move than
the bums on the You know what.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
The other thing is too, because the last month two months, people.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Have been debating on TV, you know, the Lakers, the Wars.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
It's hard to make a long run when you have
That's why I was saying, like they they got to
try to get series over quickly, and they can't obviously,
because but you're asking guys like Lebron and Steph to
play maybe like twenty five games or two.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, that's yeah, it's just a lot. I'll tell you this.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
TV is happy they got the Nixon the Celtics, right
because in the West, I mean, there's a chance they're getting.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
Okay, yeah, it's not good.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Okay, see versus Denver the Clippers.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
It's good basketball, but it's bad teav for them. Yeah.
And then on the other side, if.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Golden State loses, they got Minnesota in Minnesota, which I
would have loved to watch me too.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
If you love basketball, Anthony Edwards is probably my favorite player, right.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
Edwards is awesome?

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Right?

Speaker 4 (25:27):
Can I give a shout out at the highlight of
my week?

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (25:30):
You can.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
Was that Milwaukee Bucks meltdown with thirty seconds left and
seeing the blanks, the typical blanks there on, Doc rivers
face unbelivable since.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
Ninth in the nineteen ninety seven And look, I'm not
saying it was his fault that that guy couldn't catch.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
The ball on the side.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
It happens with every team. He's after sixteen hundred and
seven games since nineteen ninety seven. In the playoffs, I
think it was just a playoff that might have been
rather games. I'll get a playoff teams that were winning
by seven with forty seconds to go, I want to say,
which I find is hard to believe it.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Anyway, Unbeaten told that then, and it was Doc unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
I'm not playing Doc for the guy I blame. It
started with a terrible inbounds play, that's true. Then it's
then the two defensive possessions. They give a guy a
walk in three, and then they do it fala guy
going to the basket for an and one. And then
the last one, poor kid who Gary Tran, who made
every shot, he just took his eye off the ball

(26:33):
like a shortstop, not to catching.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
And Docs and Doc's going to go to Hall of fame.
He is because he's going to face down to rescind
his hall. But they're not.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
He's going, and he's going to go in bitter and.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
He's going because his thing, I got teams to Game seven,
we'll do that's dot get into Game seven is not.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Did anybody see the JJ Reddick clip from when he
was on ESPN last year what he said after Doc
said Doc never takes accountability about anything.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
He wasn't wrong, but he didn't.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
Yeah, Like difference is Reddick didn't do it for a year.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Doc's been doing it for twenty.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Right, there's that.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
I still can't believe Milwaukee fired their guy who had
him in a great spot in his name, I can't remember. Yeah,
you guy from Seaton Hall, I think of it. You
shot will help me out? Uh And and I hired
Doc off of television. Yeah, like like he like he
hadn't been mailing it in for the last time.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
And what did they do?

Speaker 5 (27:25):
They were They were like well above five hundred at
that firing, and I think they went they went five
hundred the rest of the That's that's.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
What was the record. Thirty and thirteen with Adrian Griffin.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Thirty and thirteen with Adrian Griffin. They fire him to
hire Doc. That's that's saying.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
I mean there's no way they fired that coach without
Giannis because I remember they were complaining because I think
the guy wanted to played. Whatever the guy's philosophy was,
they didn't agree with it.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Some of the players, well that what Doc is good
because he has no philosophy, can't disagree with.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
But that doesn't there's no way that guy gets fired
with that. At least some input from thirty what's his number?

Speaker 2 (28:08):
From Seaton hall Man?

Speaker 4 (28:09):
Yeah, and I love Gianni's I have no problem. I
thought the way he handled that the other night when
when they goofballs and you know what, I love Hal Burton. Dude, dude,
you that can't happen. And what would have happened if
giannest had co cocked him man, which he could have.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
And there are guys in the NBA that was, oh
good thing he didn't do with the Bobby Portos.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Did you see to look on his face Giannis didn't
know who it was.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Of course, why he's like, you show an idiot fan
on the on the floor.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
We showed you, we show what did you show me?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
You're gonna lose in the next round, going so you
know what, and your son's a great player.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
I get it. He drove past you.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
And if all guys that go to Yana, yeah, just play.
He doesn't say anything as far as I can take you, dude,
everybody's nuts. And look that circumstance was insanely crazy. I mean,
and then Halliburton wins the game by driving Yanis.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
I don't really know what Giannis.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Was doing since Ali Burton goes right like almost all
the I don't think you want to play a game
such figured. It was just.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
He is not back in Milwaukee.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
You realize Milwaukee does not have a draft pick for
six years.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
That's well done.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
I like that they stay traded like apparently all like
or maybe they have control over one, like if they
can switch or something, because it dam something part of
I'm sure that's part of I'm sure there were other
trades they made it in the middle of it, Damian Miller.
Giannis is going to be in Burtle Miami. That's a

(29:38):
that's another operation, said san Antonio.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Miami is another operation that needs well, it's time for
it's time for me to go.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
And I'm telling you lost by a hundred, one hundred
and fifty five and they were by sixty and they
have nothing.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
They have two players they stay. If I'm telling you that, I.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Was no wonder Jimmy Butler wanted to get out of
okay Se could maybe win the titles.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yere, I mean they got his good change anybody.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
Yeah, I'm telling you, man, that ok Se thing is
interesting because they could give.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Milwaukee a ton of draft picks.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
You put Giannis on that team, I mean you're gonna
have to give something up.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
I mean obvious, you're gonna give up a ton of
draft picks. Yeah, they don't, they don't. They They did
that one time. Sewn's correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't
they trade for Paul George at one point? Yeah, and
it didn't really work. Paul George Russell Westbrook. But Paul
George ain't Giannis.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
No.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
I understood.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
But I think Houston might.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Houston might be looking at I mean, he's going to
have a few options to you know, where he goes.
By the way I read somewhere Steve Kerrs never lost
the first round series.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Well, here we go. I'm just yeah, tomorrow night, we're

I am just in lovely Brandywine, Delaware?

Speaker 2 (32:15):

Speaker 3 (32:20):

Speaker 6 (32:25):

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, there you go. Do you ever go to lower
slower Delaware like that?

Speaker 4 (32:30):
And the.

Speaker 9 (32:33):
No, I've not, but I've heard I've heard good things
about Rehobeth.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Okay, all right, let's do some NBA for Game seven
for tonight seven thirty Denver, the champion from two years ago,
minus one and a half at home against the Clippers.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
With James Harden trying.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
To win a big game to move on to the
next along with Kawhi Leonard. John will start with you
your thoughts on this What's been a fascinating series.

Speaker 6 (33:06):
Yeah, I think he just kind of said it.

Speaker 9 (33:07):
H James Harden in a game seven in uh, in.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
A in a big basketball game.

Speaker 9 (33:13):
That's kind of like, that's kind of where I guess
I have my questions because James Harden has had a
couple of games and especially in the losses, uh where
he's not been all that great. Games four and five
we're very telling and looked very sixers ish. Uh So
I think that's that's where I have kind of my questions,
Like it's to me, it's it's gotta be James Harden

(33:33):
and Kawhi Leonard. And Kawhi Leonard's been producing on his end,
it's gonna have to be James Harden is gonna have
to produce, and I don't know if he can in
this spot. So I'm actually kind of leading Denver a
little bit.

Speaker 6 (33:43):
I have not liked what I've seen from Harden.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
Uh Ok, Yeah, I tend to agree.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
I think Kawhi is obviously gonna perform to his ability.
It all relies on James Harden to complement that, and uh,
if not, then it's gonna have to be the Kauwhi
show and he's gonna have to do some Kawhi heroics. Otherwise,
I think Denver has too much firepower and guys that
can contribute on the other end that that would overpower

(34:10):
them if if guys outside of Kawhi can't perform for
the Clippers. So I too am leaning Denver here.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
Mike that one other guy that gots pretty good too, right, Pal,
is it?

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Who's yeah?

Speaker 4 (34:22):
I mean, look, I like the Clippers before the series.
I can't go against Denver in this spot, and I
hate doing that. I hate first of all, Jokers. Great,
they're at home. I think it's going to be a
pretty good game.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
I don't think the Clippers will just lay an egg
because I think Kawhi is too good for that. But again,
I you know, Jokers going to have a thirty eighteen
ten whatever.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
I think.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
I think I like the Nugs. It's only one and
a half that that's kind of a low line to me.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Is for a game seven, no question, both teams fifty
and thirty two?

Speaker 4 (35:01):
Yeah, three to three in the yeah or even I.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Mean yeah, can it be any closer? Kauhi had twenty
seven to ten and five the other night. Pal Norman
Pelly just mentioned he had twenty four in that game
hard and had twenty eight six rebounds.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Eight assists. Yeah, he was good.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Uh and and looking at the other side, Murray, what
do you have forty one? In game five he had
twenty one. Jokic shot it at a bad game twenty
five to seven.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
Rebounds, he assists.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Aaron I would say this, I like Denver's other players.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
A little more than I like the Clippers other players,
like Zubots.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
He's had a great year.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
But yeah he's got no shouting again in that matchup.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
And the Clippers bench, Yeah, bout Danovitch a good player.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Nick Batoon Jones from the Philadelphia Catholic League.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Simmons got a got a d MP the you know what.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
You know what's funny in the West.

Speaker 9 (36:08):
That's the best thing Ben Simmons can do to help.

Speaker 6 (36:10):
His team, not you know, on the floor.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
You know which.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
So Minnesota was the six and the Lakers were three,
you know what. The difference in their records was like
a one game. So it's not like we normally think
of a six to three. There was like five teams
that were within like a game of each other or
two games of each other.

Speaker 9 (36:29):
I think that that goes for the whole just first
round so far, it's been it's been odd.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
It's been fun.

Speaker 9 (36:35):
It's been one of it more I think memorable better
first rounds. But yeah, these teams are all these teams
are all close, uh, and there's there's not really especially
in the western side. There's really not much of a
gap between all these teams. And maybe there is between
Oklahoma City and the rest, but even that, like that
remains to be seen.

Speaker 6 (36:51):
We're not even too sure about that.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
But the dominant teams in the playoffs where the dominant
teams in the regular season.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Cleveland just annihilated Miami.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
They were a bad team.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
That they were a bad team who happened to beat
two bad teams in the play and to get into
the playoffs. And then Memphis was just the They didn't
have much of a chance anyway, but they were hurt.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
I at least like Memphis fight.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
I thought they fought the last two games after getting
annihilated in Game one.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
They were a big game when John got.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Hurt, right, I thought they gave effort and you know,
not to beat anybody without job morant, but the fact
that they were in it, I think, and they just
rehired the interim coach as a full time coach. They
have some they have some talent there, but Oklahoma City, man,
they're just Murton. Uh.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
They won sixty seven games. Have teams win sixty seven
against that West and.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
They're getting all this time off and over again, and
they played the minimum they didn't have to play at
the end of the regular season. All their guys are young,
yeare athletic and arrested.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
Man, But nobody talks about like they won sixty seven
I think it was sixty six or success.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Against that West sixty eight. Yeah, they're Denver from two
years ago.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Nobody believed it until they actually did it.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
That's yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, they got one
of the best players in the world on their squad
and they got a lot and how many that maybe
Cleveland win this year? Were they They're they're like up
there six before.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
Yeah, and nobody pays any attention to them because of the.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Self the Denver has no chance Tomorrow night since we
have about.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
That yip, James Harden goes for forty.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Ja tonight right, excuse me, tonight seven thirty.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
So tomorrow night, eight thirty Houston in their biggest game
since was there.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
I'm just kidding now, you you might be right, you know,
they had.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Some molestern finals that they that's true.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Yeah, I forgot it.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
So Houston with their young core minus two and a
half against Golden State, which is Jimmy Butler and the
legend that is Steph Curry.

Speaker 5 (38:50):
And a bunch of guys, uh and fifty six year
old Draymond Green.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Yeah, John, you weren't here when I compared Draymond Green
favorably to uh Peach A. Tucker a few minutes ago.
But I can't even watch him anymore. He just PJ
was actually a nice guy on the court. He was
an idiot like this bozo who got an F one
in like the first minute last night. I mean, what
are you doing?

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Kyle? Will start with you.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
Houston minus two and a half against Golden State, and
I guarantee the NDIA is rooting for Golden State. They've
already lost the Lakers. They don't want to list Golden
State too.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
This is really tough because, as I mentioned in the
first segment, I don't think it's a great recipe to have,
you know, those two stars and then just a bunch
of guys. But with that being said, one of those
two stars is Steph Curry. So for that reason, alone,
I think Golden State can pull this one out.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
Houston's there.

Speaker 5 (39:44):
I don't think they're quite ready yet, but look out
because they're They're an exciting team to watch.

Speaker 4 (39:49):
Mike Well, I think they are quite ready because what
they did last night showed me that they were quite ready.
And I'm not sure Golden State is quite ready. My
heart wants Steph to keep playing, you know, I want to.
I want to see it in the whole Jimmy Buckets
thing and how far.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
I I think I'm going to take what's two and
a half minus to and half for the Rockets.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
As much as I hate it because I betting and
Steph is like death, uh, but I think I think
Houston could do this.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I do.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yeah, here's some spans is good man? I mean, you
bring Adams off the fence.

Speaker 4 (40:22):
And they're going to throw guy right, They're just gonna
throw guys and stuff and throw guys at Tom.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
That's what they do. I mean last night they had
one player that played forty.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
One of my all time favorite college and now NBA players,
my man, Freddie van Vliet had twenty.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
How How good has he been? I love that dude.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
Man. He was on the nineteen. He was on the
nineteen team, right, yeah, yeah, and the Sixers.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
I remember there was a point where they talked about
the Sixers getting him when he became a free agent.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Yeah, but they didn't. Yeah, they didn't love them.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
At Wichita State, yeah, before I remember, he and Ron
Baker won an undefeated regular season state Rock Baker.

Speaker 6 (40:54):
I haven't heard that name in forever.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Also, yeah, play in the NBA for a little while.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
With it.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
They make a bet tonight that Draymond gets a te
is there? Can you bet that?

Speaker 2 (41:03):
I don't know, but if you can, you should be
able to.

Speaker 6 (41:05):
Yeah, so minus five hundred maybe.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
Shit, I'm looking at the box score last night. Dylan
Brooks is a bit of a nut, you know, a
bit yea is? Yeah, that should be the bet who
gets the first t Brooks or Draymond. Yeah. So Thompson
at fourteen love him. Send Gun is a terrific player,
a twenty one Vanlee, twenty nine Green who's been kind
of underachieving in this series, really only had.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
A Jodio thing. Dick.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
They got a coach, no, I know, Golden State's got
to coach obviously.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
And you know what he's trying to get back at
what happened to him two years ago or three years ago,
whatever it was when Golden State beat the Celtics in
That's right finals. Adams is just a classic guy. I mean,
you love him. Seventeen points and just loves people. I mean,
it's just that's just what he does in life.

Speaker 4 (41:52):
How many teams have come back from three to one,
It's only been like sixteen, not a lot, so less
than ten percent of doc.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Doc was coaching Golden State.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
We would love Houston, right, I don't have a I
do not have a great feel for this now. I
mean realistically, again, if you look this player for player Houston,
that's better players.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
They really do. More of them and more of them.
They just do.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
And I'm not a big fan, as I proved of
like this guy could do it. But there's one guy
in the league that I would give a shot to
getting to and I.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Have until somebody beats him. I'm taking Steph can you
do it? Thirty? I get fifty, he could get fifty.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
He's the only it's the only reason why Golden State.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
It's the only reason.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
Now, what what you don't like is it's a quick turnaround,
and it's better for Houston than Golden State.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
It is a night game, Uh, but it's a tough,
very difficult spot.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
Jimmy's probably still a little four. I mean he played fine.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
Yeah, I mean he had nine rebounds, he had assist
twenty seven points. He wasn't the problem last night. But
I mean, buddy heal. I mean seriously, over four.

Speaker 4 (43:02):
And seventeen minutes and I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
What do you do it? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (43:05):
Peyton who tries hard, but it's limited Looney.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
They don't have from Moses Moody.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Moody post. You know what's amazing, They're not very good.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
Moses Moody took like ten more after they got Butler.
They were like twenty five and seven.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (43:20):
No, I mean it was like nuts. This team was
dead ye like two months ago, two and a half
months ago.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
So to me, Golden State to win the game, they
have to play from in front.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
They are not coming from behind. What's the money line
on them? I'm guessing you could get a little little
juice on the Warriors.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:36):
I don't have a strong opinion, but I'll take I'll.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Take Golden State.

Speaker 5 (43:39):
But I'm saying, if you're going to do that, you
might as well take money plus one seventeen.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Yeah, that's not that man, John, did we get your
pick on this series?

Speaker 6 (43:46):
I'm actually I think I'm gonna go Houston.

Speaker 9 (43:49):
I will I will go with the impressive like last
two wins for them, as you just said, they have
a deeper team. They're just throwing everything at Golden State,
and uh, you know, we think Houston it's a little
bit out of nowhere, so we think young and they
do have a really impressive young player. And I'm in Thompson,
but like Fred van Bleied has been there, like he's
done it, and he's he's showing up.

Speaker 6 (44:08):
In these in these games.

Speaker 9 (44:09):
And for Houston, and Steven Adams has been there, he's.

Speaker 6 (44:12):
Been around for a while. I'm playing extremely well.

Speaker 9 (44:15):
So yeah, I thought he was incredibly impressive last night,
especially had the most free throws shot in the in
the entire game for a player.

Speaker 6 (44:24):
So he's getting to the line, he's causing disruption.

Speaker 9 (44:27):
I think he's frustrating even at times a lot of
Golden State. So yeah, I think I like Houston.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
Yeah, to me, I mean that's a rational selection. I'm
irrationally picking stuff at her.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
I mean, like Golden State has something to lose the stuffs.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
You know how many more chances this stuff happen, Well, exactly,
and they can't.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
They can't get any time they've tried to.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Get younger players. They really have never been that good.

Speaker 9 (44:57):
None of them, even though and the one young player
they have, Jonathan Aminga, is a d n P.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
Yeah, what post is your big guy coming off the bench?

Speaker 2 (45:06):
That tells your bench state.

Speaker 4 (45:07):
I want to hear the story someday about Kaminga because
he was supposed to be not a star maybe, but
he's supposed to be the guy and he basically for
the last three four or five weeks has not gotten
off the bench.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
And that they've made some bad draft picks.

Speaker 10 (45:24):
Me James Wiseman, they got him in the second round,
but Trace Jackson Davis.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
So it was a terrific college player at Indiana. He
was never gonna be a good NBA player because he
can't shoot outside of six feet. It just doesn't work
in that league because he's not a center.

Speaker 4 (45:39):
It's just do you think do you think if for
some reason Clay had stayed or they had made the decision.
I mean, now I'm not saying that was the right
move because Clay's old. Would that have made it because
they probably wouldn't have got Jimmy Butler right correct, He
had a good year for Dallas.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
I mean he was a solid player for.

Speaker 4 (45:55):
Dallas with guys with nobody playing around.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
I think Clay's bigger problem was at towards the end
he was a he was a plus plus defender for
a long time.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
Well, all the injuries just took that away from him.
He could still shoot, that's not way lost. And he
got a little bitter, right, I mean there was there
was something. Yeah. I mean his last game there he
went over and the play and to play it game
against Sacramento.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
I mean, but look he's going on.

Speaker 4 (46:19):
But I don't think to a lot of people though,
I don't think Clay ever got the credit. You know,
he's a Hall of Famous. I know he's a Hall
of Famer, but I think when people talked about the Warriors,
it was always they would even mention Draymond sometimes ahead
of him, which was a stupid player.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
My favorite stat Clay Thompson Staton. I'm not going to
get this exactly right. One of the Knights, you scored
the quarter sixty and.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
Took four dribbles, yeah right, right, right, But one game,
one game he had like twenty eight a quarter or something.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
He did something. Yeah, yeah, right, remember the four dribble night. Yeah,
they showed the pictures.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
That's probably not the right number, but you get the point.
I think it was less than four, actually, whatever it was.
But he just happened to be on the wrong team.
You would get down as one of the great shooters
in history, except you had.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
To be playing with the greatest shooter in history on
his safeteam.

Speaker 7 (47:06):
But man, and that performance was sixty points on eleven
dribbles in twenty nine minutes.

Speaker 4 (47:12):
Yeah, so he scored Wait a minute, he scored sixty
and twenty nine yep, taking eleven dribbles.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 6 (47:18):
How many threes did he make in that game?

Speaker 2 (47:20):
You know, that's tremendous.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
He had to make like none they roll.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
Yeah, yeah, we find this some ridiculous number. It's just crazy,
all right. A couple of series lines.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
We start the Cleveland, Indiana series tomorrow at seven. I'm
not sure where that's at seven and Houston's at eight thirty,
but that's what I got here.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
I'll double that doesn't sound make a lot of sense.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
They won't be on at the same time, you wouldn't
think why would you do that? Did you go tomorrow?

Speaker 3 (47:49):
I got Cleveland Indiana at seven and Houston Golden State
at eight thirty?

Speaker 4 (47:52):
Is correct?

Speaker 9 (47:53):
Right?

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Obviously on different networks were so stupid that is.

Speaker 6 (47:57):
I'm seeing six into eight thirty, so they might have that.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
Would make sense maybe, thanks So Cleveland minus eight in
Game one in Cleveland against Indiana. Series line Cleveland minus
five hundred, Indiana plus three seven. Does anybody on the
panel give Indiana a chance?

Speaker 2 (48:15):
John? We will start with you.

Speaker 6 (48:18):
For the series? Probably not.

Speaker 9 (48:21):
I think Cleveland much better team Indiana. But that's the
thing is, like I go Indiana game one.

Speaker 6 (48:27):
I do like that they can score. I do like
that they have good offense and.

Speaker 9 (48:31):
That they should be able to keep up with Cleveland
in Game one, especially with a seven and a half
point spread. But for the series, I just think Cleveland's
Cleveland's a much better team than Indiana.

Speaker 4 (48:42):
I was God, Cleveland, I can't lay five because it's
just you know, if God forbid, somebody gets hurt or whatever,
but there's no I just can't.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
And I like Indiana. I've always been there.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
I could see it going maybe six, you know, maybe
Indiana gets at least a game at home, maybe steals
one somewhere. But Cleveland's good.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
I mean, they're just really good.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
And I don't think anybody is caught on yet because
it's still this fascination with the Celtics, and I get
all that the.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
Celtics are, you know, whatever, but I don't.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
I don't see if Cleveland loses this series, man, there's
going to be some people in Cleveland are.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Not going to be happy, not Kyle. Anyway, Indiana winzes.

Speaker 5 (49:25):
No, I think I think they can win two games,
though again I don't give them, you know, a chance
to win the series. But I think I think it
could be an interesting series, if that makes sense, because
the thing that's fascinating you have two good teams, and
neither of these teams are those those top heavy teams

(49:46):
like I mentioned, where you have two superstars and the
rest just guys. I feel like both teams have a
well rounded base. But what that's being said, I think
the Cavs just have the better players, and obviously it's
showed throughout the season.

Speaker 4 (49:59):
I think it goes though, yeah, it's.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Not gonna be Cleveland and Miami. I mean, this is
a team that's going to fight back. I mean, they
can score. They have a lot of skilled players. They've
obviously got to the Eastern Finals, Eastern semifinals last year.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
No, they were, they lost his self.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
So yeah, they have playoff experience, all good stuff. I
don't see any reason not to like Cleveland, but certainly Indiana's.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
What's the points in this game, Kyle?

Speaker 4 (50:24):
What's the over under on the points in this game?
This game?

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Minus eight? No? No, no, I mean.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
Totals twenty nine and a half.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
Boy, I might, I might. Yeah, But these teams I
mean don't play great defense. No they don't.

Speaker 5 (50:38):
I might take a shout play great defense. No, they
don't play defense.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
Sorry, I might take a shot at the over on
that one.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
Cleveland does play defense. It's the same thing they were
before with offense. Yeah, that's why they brought it a
new coach, because they just couldn't score enough.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
And now they can score. All Right, the series that everybody's.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Going to be interested in around here and really everywhere.
I mean you get New York and you get Boston Networks,
this right, they love this. And the Knicks went out
to get McHale Bridges for one reason, they thought this
was going to be an Eastern Conference Finals.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
It's not because the Knicks just weren't. Nobody was thinking
Cleveland was going to be the one seed.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
They got Bridges to match up with Anonoby so they
can have two guys they think can at least attempt
to guard Tatum and Brown. Then you got I mean,
you got brunts and who's ridiculous and we don't know
what Jeue Holiday's status is. Uh, White is awesome for
the Celtics. I have you know, I have not liked

(51:36):
his cat. I think he's been pretty mediocre in the series.

Speaker 5 (51:40):
And I mentioned one really good game. He has a
history of being mediocre.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
That's a little concerning. The next have no bench, zero nothing,
and all said at all.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Don't have a great bench either. I like the Celtics bench. Okay,
I think they're the perfect guys for them.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
Okay, I yell yeah, he's very well, he's very good.

Speaker 3 (51:57):
He's fine. The next have nobody. They got they got,
they got nothing.

Speaker 4 (52:02):
And you know what that means if this series goes.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Long, it's a problem.

Speaker 4 (52:05):
It's a problem.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Death.

Speaker 4 (52:07):
You don't like campaign, well, let me ask you a question.
I don't like cam who has Who would you say
has a better chance to win, the Knicks or the
Pacers to pull the upset.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Pacers pay series, I'd say, yeah, I'm not so sure.
But I think a way to look at the Knicks
is this, They were life and death to beat Detroit.
I mean life and death that easily could have lost
the series. And every time they played the upper echelon teams.
Oh that's right. Yeah, yeah, you're right, they've just lost.

(52:38):
So there is that You're right in all these minutes
and now, and everybody knows I love Michael Bridges.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Now how is his offense going to be affected by the.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
Guard chasing Tatum the whole time, which is one of
the toughest plays.

Speaker 4 (52:53):
Some defense, right, I mean he goes they all play all?
Do they all play defense? I'm looking forward to it.
I don't see how the Celtics don't win the series.
I just think they have too much. But I would
like to know Holiday's status.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
He's not playing. The Knicks have a chance to win
some games. Yeah, And my suspicion is I just don't
see him winning four.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
They held him out. He probably could have played. Sure,
why bother. Yeah, you're beating Orlando, but that.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
Could be you know, six games from now, he could
take a wrong step and all of a sudden he's
holding his leg and you know.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
So, Kyle, what are you thinking of this series? Boston
New York? Any chance for the.

Speaker 4 (53:30):
Next I don't think there's any chance for the Knicks.
I think it maybe goes five.

Speaker 5 (53:37):
Unless, like you said, Drew Holliday and injuries for Boston
maybe could sneak into a six game series.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (53:45):
I do like the Knicks getting eight and a half,
though in the first game.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
I mean, the Knicks are in.

Speaker 5 (53:51):
The Knicks are relentless, no doubt, and you know, an
early game in this series, I feel like they will
have the the main in power to to keep up
with Boston early on. I think that diminishes throughout the
series because they have no bench. So I'm gonna hop
on them early to cover this eight and a half.
Do I think they win? No, but I think eight

(54:12):
and a half's a lot.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
That's an interesting fair enough Yeah. I mean again, the
matchups are so much fun. I think there could be
cross matches, but I'm thinking the Bridges and anonobia on
Tatum and Brown least I think that's what's gonna happen.
Josh Hard and White is fun. Obviously, Brunson and Holiday
if that's what it was, that's fun. And then I

(54:35):
don't know what to make of the five matchup. Had
Perzingis was not very good, but he can be. He
can be, Yeah, and cat for a big man. Yeah,
he wants to shoot threes, He has his moments. He's
a pretty average defender. And I'm big charitable.

Speaker 4 (54:53):
And then it being.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
Al Horford.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
You bring Al Horford off the They ain't got nobody
like Al or oh, hey.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
Sixer's got nobody like Al who were for there is
that problem they did.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
You know what's interesting when you look at each of
these series, Indiana and New York, if they played perfect basketball,
still might not win.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
That's just that, that's just the reality of it. Probably
not good enough.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
My man, Brunson is probably gonna have to average over
forty would be my guess.

Speaker 4 (55:24):
Which means he's gonna be playing forty three minutes.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
Is incredible.

Speaker 4 (55:28):
And the thing with Brunson is, unlike the last series,
Tatum could do the same thing.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
Yep, we gotta take a break. Yeah, but it's uh
we'll get into we'll get into more. We got golf
with Mike coming up in a minute. We got all
kinds of other stuff. John, you out of here?

Speaker 2 (55:43):
What's your status?

Speaker 6 (55:44):
Yes, I am, I'm out of here. I will leave
you with the a.

Speaker 9 (55:47):
Seattle Mariners play hitting very well this season. They're going
up against Patrick Corbyn, who I'll give credit looking okay,
but he's giving up a one point five to eight whip.

Speaker 6 (55:55):
So I like Seattle fake time.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
The Mariners leading the air. They've won five I think right, John.

Speaker 6 (56:01):
You're listening, they've been they've been very good.

a few seconds, if you're on your way out here
to the track for Kentucky Derby Day. As you go
up the ramp, look to your left, really cool display

(57:54):
Smarty Jones memorabilia, Derby trophy, Freakness trophy, a lot of
other good stuff. And twenty one years since Smarty won
the Derby and the Preakness.

Speaker 4 (58:04):
And he's the reason that this place is even here, right,
And also.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
You can hang out all day and bet on the races.
They are live racing in parks. They don't usually run
on Saturday, but they are today. You got the Derby
and Smarty Jones will be going into the Racing Hall
of Fame on August.

Speaker 4 (58:22):
Where did they normally keep those trophies?

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Dick? Who has them?

Speaker 3 (58:25):
Well, missus Chapman owns them obviously, okay. And she moved
from Doylestown to Florida three and a half years ago,
and then she gave them to the track safe keeping
and they were going to put a display on and
where the display is out there today.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
It's taken a little while for all this stuff to happen,
but anyway, it's worth worth seeing. Mike Carnell golf. Everybody,
where are they? What's going on? Well, they're in.

Speaker 4 (58:47):
Houston where the weather has been miserable, which is probably
the weather.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
It might be heading to Lexington.

Speaker 4 (58:53):
To the Ville and Scottie Scheffler, who is the defending
chiefs and defending champions.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
You're like eight times right, so he's playing in events
that maybe he might.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
Not, I don't know. He's eighteen on there, he shot
ten under, eight under. He's six ahead. If you want
to bet scott you gotta lay fourteen hundred, so he's
six ahead.

Speaker 2 (59:11):
He's six ahead.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
Now the third round does not start minus fourteen hundred,
minus fourteen hundred if you want to bet Scotty, and they.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
Won't need fourteen dollars to win one.

Speaker 4 (59:20):
Yeah, and they won't even let you bet him to
finish top five or top ten.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
That betters all to board.

Speaker 4 (59:25):
Now they're not going to start the third round until
later this afternoon. Because at anyway, here's what's interesting, And
what I would do is look for a player or
two that maybe you can bet to finish top five
or top ten.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
You know you might. You're not going to get great money,
and the.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
Odds are changing kind even as I'm looking at this.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
This is what's interesting.

Speaker 4 (59:44):
This guy I have in my pool this week, pH
on Who's right, pH on. He's pretty good player. He's
currently tied for thirtieth.

Speaker 2 (59:52):
He's not a player I never heard. Well, he's tied
for thirtieth. He's the tenth pick to finish, not to win.

Speaker 4 (01:00:01):
They got him as h plus thirty thousand or three hundred. Yeah,
because he's not. But he's now down the four fifty
to finish top five. The two guys I was looking at,
and the odds have changed as we've been on here.
There's two guys I was gonna give you Cameron Champ.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Cameron Champ one of my favorites, and.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
I can't find him.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
I always loved him since college. Wait a minute, now,
hold on, I don't have to hear this guy is.
I gotta find you? Oh okay, Sam Burns. Sam Burns
is plus Cameron Champ plus four hundred to finish in
the top five, and he's currently like ten four to one.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
I'll take a shot.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
And the other guy was gonna with Sam Burns, who
was plus three sixty. He's also they're they're both but
again you can't bet.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
There's no other bet because the second guy is Sam Stevens.

Speaker 4 (01:00:51):
If you even know who Sam Stevens is, was who
I probably.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
Don't hold on and.

Speaker 4 (01:00:55):
He's like like forty to one, you know. I mean,
if Scotty does not win this tournament, it's something's wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
That's gofin. He hasn't won this year. He's a bum.

Speaker 4 (01:01:06):
He's a bum. You are correct, and may we point
out they will be in Philadelphia next week at the
Philadelphia Cricket Club, the truest heavyweight. No, this is a
good tournament. Rory will be there, Scottie will be there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
You'll be there.

Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
I'm gonna go on Sunday because I got to write
there on Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
It's Mike, You're going on Friday.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
You're doing something.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Max.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
I have Max hom in next week. Max Home has
a zero shot the PGA Tour.

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
And but think about this, The PGA Championship is the
week after that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
So you have Scottie and Rory.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
All of a sudden, and that's a'slow where Rory has
won four times.

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
I took Scottie's going for the Grand Slaine. He's got
the grands going for this year's Grand Slime. Well, yeah,
he is a lot. I took Scottie for one reason.
I was going to because he got arrested last year.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
The PG and I figured at getting arrested, the.

Speaker 4 (01:02:05):
Never say never.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
Where is the cricket club?

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
Is it in the city or in it's in Flowertown,
Montgomery count Yeah, it's it's, it's it's. Also they did
about ten years ago, twelve years they did a thing
like Oakmond Stone and a Rony Ming stun Ronomy.

Speaker 4 (01:02:19):
Gets the PGA next year for people who really look ahead,
they took all the trees out. They took like a
lot of trees out, which kind of opened up the course.
They had the PGA seniors there in sixteen. Bernhard Longer
won and the score was even par So we don't
know what they're going to play it obviously a lot
longer for these of these players have ever played at
this court.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
It's totally new for them.

Speaker 4 (01:02:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
Interesting, and it'll be I mean, look, it's you're getting
the best players.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
It's a signature event. I mean, not all of them.

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
You're meaning the person the purse is dramatically higher and.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
It gets like twenty mil or something crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:02:52):
No, the person will be like twenty min person. The
winner probably get like three or four mill or something. Well,
they got to pay the other guys too. You finished
tenth but look, if you're a golf fan, and and yeah,
it's a it's a neat course, PGA Tour and Philip
first time since the Tiger Well, no, the BMW Championship

(01:03:13):
was here, the FedEx playoff thing in sixteen or seven times.
That was aronomy cool where you are covering Tiger to
one year following then Tiger didn't decide not to show
up the next year and you had nothing to do.

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
What are you gonna do? Exactly?

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
And as I said, the PGA, the PGA Championship will
be here next year the first time. He well, we
did have the thirteen US Open, but before that you
had to go back to the eighty one US Open.
So yeah, I mean, look, and the Marion, one of
the great golf courses in the country, in the world,
gets the US Amateur next year and then gets the
US Open in thirty when it'll be one hundredth anniversary

(01:03:48):
of Bobby Jones winning.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
Clinching the Grand Slam.

Speaker 4 (01:03:51):
They have a plaque on the eleventh hole, and they
have a plaque on the eighteenth all for Ben Hogan,
the famous Ben Hogan shot.

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
I love Mary Marion Marrion, my carent on golf everybody
that was important what Mike just said. Now I'm about
to tell you the most important thing you're gonna hear
all day. Get to your favorite off track spot or
on your phone or come out of her the parks
go somewhere today eight nine exactly in the derby. I

(01:04:24):
will have it with many zeros involved. How about the ninety?
Are we going to go back and forth? We do
not box anything. We just go for your favor my man. Yeah,
just put five bucks. Let me ask you a question.
Do you have any do you do you think I
haven't thought this through.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
I know you've thought it through. Eight nine cold, Yes,
that's it.

Speaker 6 (01:04:45):
That's the number.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
I hear you. If it comes nine.

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
Eight, people will go you're an idiot, and you know
what I wouldn't say, you will go no problem.

Speaker 4 (01:04:51):
I like to ask you a question.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Journalism to win it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
Finally, we have publisher in the race too, newspapers best
they're making back.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
Hey, yes, what is journalism going to go off? At
about five to two? Three to one? Okay? What will
that exactly pay?

Speaker 4 (01:05:08):
With the nine horse?

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
I hope it pays seventy five for two? Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:05:12):
What would the nine eight pay one hundred, it would
only that's the only difference.

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
Oh, pocket chain, I thought it would be more okay,
And then people bet that. Most people see people like
the box. And here's what I would say to people,
they'd like to box three horses or four horses, whatever
it is, right, Well, what you're saying when you're boxing,
you're saying whether the same, whether or not the same?

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Oh, I wouldn't box it. What all I'm saying to use?

Speaker 4 (01:05:37):
If you bet X on that one, I would bet
a little bit, understand, just in case.

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
My favorite best score ever was at the Breeders' Cup
turf race. It's saturnated in twenty nineteen. When I'm down,
I'm playing the contest. I'm bad at twenty two hundred
bucks left, and the turf is coming up with a
horse named Bricks and Mortar who I don't think can
possibly lose, and I come up with fifty to one
shot that I think in run second, I play a

(01:06:03):
cold two thousand dollars nine three. It pays one hundred
and thirty seven and it comes in to take my
two thousand to one hundred and thirty seven thousand, and
the guys I'm playing the contest with said, how many
times did you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
Have the three nine zero? I didn't like the three nine?
I liked the nine three? How much did it win by?
Did you not much?

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
See?

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
It was a photo.

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
Here's my only it was pretty just my only thoughts.
My only thought is that I'm thinking I might be
a good boy. Do you have handicapped the race correctly?

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
And those I know? It's just I'm not saying you
box it. I wouldn't put the same amount on ninety eight.

Speaker 3 (01:06:38):
No, I got and as possible I could do that. Yeah,
I'm just telling you that. Were you worried when it?

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
When it was?

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
Uh, the race actually ran exactly opposite of all I thought.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
I thought bricks and Mortar was going to be ahead
and the other horse was going to close.

Speaker 3 (01:06:53):
It turned out the other horse was ahead and bricks
and Mortar had to close, but he didn't and got up.
I don't know, maybe a head. It wasn't sing, It
wasn't my two legs. He was the horse of the
year that year. He didn't lose a race all year
off and yeah, that night before I came up with
a fifty to one. Now, the only thing I did
wrong was my man Patino was there and I told

(01:07:14):
him what I liked. Bet it should have been paid
one sixty instead of won thirty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
But anyway, Rick might have more in it than you did. Yeah,
I don't like it's any quick between.

Speaker 3 (01:07:25):
Him and all his boys, like debate. The Saint John's
guy was there, the money guy, say tolly, he won
the big he won the big race. He won the
Classic that year with a horse called Vino Rosso. Uh
but yeah, that was that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Was all Rick beat here tomorrow today.

Speaker 4 (01:07:39):
I mean, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:07:40):
This is a great one of the one of the
prop bets. There's all kind of great prop bets on
the Derby. One of them was this is awesome. Now,
it's just very rarely a sure thing in life. Who
will be spotted first on Saturday at the Derby, Rick
Pattino or Kentucky Governor Andy Basher Well.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
The answer is Andy Basheer because he's given at the trophy.

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
Patino ain't there, ain't there, and the people that put
up the prop that were unaware Tim Patino was not
going to be there.

Speaker 4 (01:08:06):
I don't know what kind of action can I still
bet that, Can I still make that? I don't know,
but that that's as close to a shouting, will be there.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
Bafford is there, right, he's got his horse, got no chance,
got Citizen Bull. He also had Rodriguez scratched.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
Uh, Citizen bullgo was better, right Rodriguez.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
I'm sorry, that's right. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
That Citizen Bull. Bafford is working him like a complete
mad man, like he's desperate to winness right, sure, being
suspected for three years, here's all I can tell you
about Citizen Bawl.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
He'll be in front. The question is for how long?

Speaker 4 (01:08:41):
Is there any chance he could win?

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
Ye?

Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
But because I think that was him at twenty to one,
I'm rudy.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
I'll root for Dick's horse yet, because I got you, I.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Don't meant I don't want Citizen Bull out there, two
legs in front after half a mile, and I got
issues because I can just see him continuing over.

Speaker 4 (01:08:57):
I just I just want to see I need I
need somebody harassing short of him winning. I want to
see Bafford just going to that winter circle with that
with that smile on his face.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
And here's what we want.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
When they hit the backstretch, right, they've gone like more
than a quarter mile. Now we want Citizen Bull, Neo Echlos,
the two, the sixth, Admirer Days Owner, the twelfth East
Avenue and the twenty zero and all Marty.

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
Who I like for the last to be out there
battling for the league?

Speaker 4 (01:09:27):
Is that that famous bet that that guy used to make.
Who's finishing last?

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
So we want them battling for the league.

Speaker 3 (01:09:35):
We want journalism in the eighth you listen to this
guy yep, about five lanks back with thirteen horses behind him.
If that happens, it's not a question if I'm going
to win. It's a question of how much he's going
to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:48):
Is there a certain time that if that Bafford's horse
goes out and runs al is able to slow it
down a little, that that would greatly help Bafford's horse.
They're not run too fast to get to the to
the lead. And all Citizen Bowl right like, if he's
going to go lead, he could run too fast and
have nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
That's the hope. But again, if like a.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
Couple of horses get left and the riders choked and
weird things happened, Citizen Bawl's gonna go. I mean he's
got no choice. He's the one horse they're going. I
don't think he's that good of a horse.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
I never have. But Baffort is working.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
I'm like, like he thinks he's got a real chance,
and I actually think I don't know this.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
I don't think there's anything wrong with Rodriguez. I think
they just scress, get the hell out of the way.

Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
Oh okay, same ownership because they didn't give a reason.
They had the same runnings, right, but there wasn't. Now
I will say this and I eight nine. If it's
eight nine, you'll be just think of me.

Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
I'll be I'll be on the beach with Dixon where
I will say that calling in from Cancun.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
Other than other than.

Speaker 4 (01:10:48):
Bafford winning the Triple Crown when they won the Triple
Crown for the first time. I don't think he's ever
wanted to win a race more than this.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
No, no doubt, no question.

Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
I mean, he really doesn't like these people down there, right,
that he doesn't like them.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
Well, he's not saying it, but how could he?

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
Yeah, I mean they finally let him back when he
basically said I'm fine.

Speaker 4 (01:11:08):
Did he come out and sort.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
Of say I might have screwed up or didn't screw up.
The question is I mean it was jaywalking.

Speaker 6 (01:11:15):
He was.

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
He wasn't a felony what he did. Yeah, they made
it out to be. Oh okay, that was the pro Yeah, okay, hey,
what do you gotta do? Stuff happened. I mean, that's
the kind of stuff that happened to him. Happens all
the time. If that had happened today, what the horse
has it positive for? He would get it fine because
they've changed all the rules and regulations and he lost.
He won, and they took it away, right he No, No,

(01:11:38):
they had to take the derby away because the rule
was the rule.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
That's fine.

Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
Who's the horse that ended up winning? Mandalon was put
up from seconds?

Speaker 4 (01:11:47):
That'd be a trivia question, Yeah, it wasn't there one
like in nineteen sixty eight that happened some dnswer's image.

Speaker 3 (01:11:52):
It was deqed for what's now legal drunk and a
horse named forward pass was put up.

Speaker 4 (01:11:58):
Okay, forward pass, which is illegal.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
It's like a tush push.

Speaker 4 (01:12:02):
Yeah, very well, no, that's illegal.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
All right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:06):
Mike's favorite sport hockey. Well, we have two game sevens.
I'm all over Dallas and Colorado. Colorado's Mike pointed out
was the favorite.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Now what there? You told me that? Yeah, they were
the bet parks. Now they're like the seventh favorite. There's
a seventh favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
They're in a Game seven in Dallas. Yeah, and we
have Saint Louis and Winnipeg. I know, I know you
could anybody name any player on Saint Louis or Winnipeg
Craig Berubi.

Speaker 5 (01:12:32):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
Well, if Winnipeg loses, I mean, that's going to be
the ultimate joke.

Speaker 4 (01:12:38):
I mean, they're they're they had the best record, but
the team with the best record in NHL hasn't won
it since like twenty twelve.

Speaker 5 (01:12:43):
And I can let you know about that series because
I read about it this morning. Saint Louis Winnipeg Brayden
Shen versus Luke Shen the first pair of brothers going
against each other in a Game seven since the Niedermeyers
in like two thousand and three.

Speaker 2 (01:12:59):
Wow, and will wait? My other question is when.

Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
Will Rick Hockett be named the head coach of the
Flyers soon? I mean, isn't that why he quits?

Speaker 4 (01:13:10):
I don't know that, but that makes sense, right, I mean, Rick,
he was the coach of the Year last year.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
I love hockey. Is I've hung out with the records.

Speaker 4 (01:13:20):
The Rangers just hired the guy that won two Cups
at Pittsburgh, but he hasn't made the playoffs. Three here,
I find this fun my current hockey. Yeah, well, Florida
is now the favorite. They're the fame there plus four
in a quarter. Caroline is four fifty. Edmonton, which you
know has dry title and what's his name, the great player,
David McDavid five fifty. Here's the one I like, and

(01:13:43):
to it's funny tonight. If you like Winnipeg at home
in game sevens in the NHL, always don't go to
the home teams. You lay like one thirty on Winnipeg
to night. Saint Louis is like plus whatever. I find
this interesting. Washington, which finished with the second or they
they won the East, they're like the eighth favor. They're
ten to one to win the Cup. Because I don't know,

(01:14:07):
I'm having trouble. They're down to eight fifty. Okay, they're
playing Carolina in game one and they're the underdog at home.

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
Caroline is minus won twenty Washingtons.

Speaker 4 (01:14:16):
I would take a shout on Washington plus whatever, but
I will say this Florida Toronto. Toronto's choked for five
decades they have not Yes, yes, Florida is minus one
in a quarter to win the series. I'm taking Florida
and Toronto's I think got the home ice they do.
I'm gonna take Florida on the theory that Toronto will choke.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
I have a.

Speaker 3 (01:14:39):
Rooting interest in hockey. I am rooting for Canada. Absolutely,
They've got a rough going. Oh no, you're as we know.
Nineteen ninety three they did win the what was that
thing they won during the season, they beas us whatever
that was. It seemed like it was important for like
ten minutes.

Speaker 4 (01:14:55):
Yeah, because it was. It was McDavid scored the winning goal.

Speaker 3 (01:14:58):
So Toronto, which is obviously one of the great cities
in the War sixty seven, not to sixteen sixty seven
sixty maple Leafs one of the legendary.

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
They've lost like six straight playoff series before.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
They just won this one finally beat out of them. Yeah,
I mean, who's their star player, Matthews, Yeah, he's Yeah.
So I am one hundred percent rooting for the Maple
Leafs or Winnipeg.

Speaker 4 (01:15:22):
It was the last time Canada won the ninety three
the Canadians, the whole country. It's their sport.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
Think about this.

Speaker 4 (01:15:31):
The Canadians haven't won it since ninety three, like before ninety.

Speaker 3 (01:15:36):
Three basketball since then. Before ninety three, the longest the montre.

Speaker 4 (01:15:42):
Had ever gone was like seven years wow, between cups.

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
So yeah, you got Winnipeg.

Speaker 4 (01:15:48):
Look, you got Vancouver, you got Winnipeg, you got Edminton.

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
They're all still alive. Wow. Actually half of the ten.
Half the team's left. Four of ten.

Speaker 4 (01:16:00):
Think it's five Edmonton, Vancouver, Toronto, Winnipeg four.

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
There's ten teams left at the moment, right in the game.

Speaker 3 (01:16:07):
So they got four about that kindada, and none of
them are Montreal.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
Yeah, they've got blitzed by Washington. Gone. You know, I
know hockey. I mean you're aware that I am a hot.

Speaker 4 (01:16:18):
I just have a hard time figuring out why Washington
is slow so lowly rated.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
Maybe there's a good reason for it. I have no idea.
But are you a hockey expert? I am not.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
So Basically, we have nobody that knows anything about might
know something.

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
Oh, I knows Florida's won the last three. Vancouver is
a Dampa one two and Florida one.

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
That shouldn't be that's wrong. That's wrong. That's just wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:16:41):
And Vancouver is not in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
No oh, no, no no, I'm sorry, no no no,
it's Vegas's Vege. I'm sorry. How do they even have
ice in.

Speaker 4 (01:16:50):
Yeah, Edmonton, Toronto?

Speaker 2 (01:16:52):
I thought I wrote down vj Sorry? How can they
have ice, Jason? Does anybody know that.

Speaker 4 (01:16:58):
They have it imported? But I'm almost sure that Tampa
won two in a row, and then Florida won last year.

Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
So that's the last three I think have been in Florida.
I don't know if that's right or not.

Speaker 5 (01:17:09):
I think it is because Florida beat them. Did the
Anley Cup champions last year? Is Florida? Before that was
Vegas Vegas? And then to Tampa's and then Colorado and
then to Tampa's.

Speaker 4 (01:17:19):
Okay, I'm sorry you miss I missed a pandemic, I
miss Colorado, and I missed the World's Vegas won?

Speaker 2 (01:17:27):
Is Vegas Vegas?

Speaker 6 (01:17:29):
No question yep, So an.

Speaker 4 (01:17:31):
Expansion franchisees won a Cup and then the Flyers have
won since seventieth And you're.

Speaker 5 (01:17:36):
Saying how how many times Toronto has choked? At least
they've been relevant enough to choke no but half a century.

Speaker 4 (01:17:45):
But it's almost worse when you get in it and
you're Toronto and you continually lose. I mean they haven't
even made a run. They don't make like a run
to the semi finals are the finals? They lose early.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
They had that series, they're up three to one and
they're playing to what home? They lose four at I
guess they won game sex on a road. I have
paying attention.

Speaker 4 (01:18:05):
A Northern team happened, but there's no way you can't
take Florida in that series.

Speaker 3 (01:18:11):
I am rooting for I'm with you. You're not wrong
about what you're saying, but I'm rooting for trying floridasan
They shouldn't even be allowed at that n AHL.

Speaker 4 (01:18:19):
You don't think they have passionate hockey fans in Florida.

Speaker 3 (01:18:22):
It's Florida. I'm not sure they have fans. Forget the
passionate part. Look at the last two Stanley Cup champs
Florida and Vegas. You don't think they're the most passionate
hockey fan base.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
It's a good point.

Speaker 3 (01:18:33):
By the way, the Florida Panthers are on by a
huge horse racing guy in a shocking development. I know
this would shock Bafford bas from Arizona and California. He
knows nothing about hockey. We gotta take a break.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
We're ten thirty already we are. I know it's a
shocking development, but that's kind of where we are.

Speaker 4 (01:18:53):
So next week I'm gonna be picking the truest champion
in here on Saturday. It's called the truest Championship. It
was the Wells Fargo Bank. Yeah, it's a bank.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
Because that's a fields where the brace book I believe so.

Speaker 4 (01:19:09):
Yeah, head quartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Speaker 3 (01:19:11):
And that's why that's why to Wells Fargo because they
can't play in Charlotte this year because the PGA.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
Is there for two weeks.

Speaker 4 (01:19:18):
Yes, very intriguing.

Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
Intriguing, dude. So, NBA playoffs, we've discussed hockey playoffs. We're
all experts. Mike is an expert.

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
I try.

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
We've discussed. We're gonna discuss phillies when we get back
and whatever we decide a week for Monday is the
NBA lottery, he said, the twelfth correct Cooper flag.

Speaker 4 (01:19:41):
I'm telling you right now, just so they will be
picking seventh, meaning the Sickers, which means they won't pick
going to Okay, if that happens. If that happens, the
sixers should fold the franchise that Actually, that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (01:19:58):
You've tanked whole year to get the five yes. To
allow yourself as impressive though what they do well, they
did it, but to allow yourself the margin of error
of good into six. The margin of error is now
going to be seven.

Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
Alright, we'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
I bring him something? One second?

Speaker 3 (01:21:47):
Churchill Downs was raining very hard this morning, but now
letting up close up of the track I'm looking at
doesn't look.

Speaker 4 (01:21:55):
That bad so totally, So what would you classify that
as well?

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
I'm hoping you'll be fast later, and I'm as a
concern about the turf course.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
I don't want that too wet.

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
So because I have a couple of bets that are
leading journalism, so I can bet all the money there
and then we'll figure it out.

Speaker 2 (01:22:14):
Yes, Mike, what do you got?

Speaker 4 (01:22:16):
So I'm listening to the you know as I do
a lot because I drive the radio this way, and
you know, interesting, and somebody wanted the hosts on one
of the shows caught up. No, no, just posing the question, okay,
of if the Sixers get a draft pick, not necessarily
it's Cooper Flag, but because that might change your perspective.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
Yes, but you know, let's say.

Speaker 4 (01:22:35):
It's whatever, it's gonna be a good player, and the
Bucks came to you about Giannis and you gotta give
them Maxie, Paul, George and that pick. And there were
people calling in saying no, And I'm like, now, not
that that's gonna make the Sixers a champion, because you know,
you still got Joe and whatever. You're not going to
trade Giannis because you don't want to get rid of Maxie.

(01:22:57):
Now I understand if it's Cooper Flag and you say none, know,
I might want to keep Cooper because I think he's
going to be really good. And I don't think I
would do this, and there would have to be other
parts to it to make it work. George, Maxie and
your and your first round pick, because Milwaukee's got no
first round pick, right, And.

Speaker 2 (01:23:15):
It's that before or after the lottery that you're doing.
I guess after you knew where you were picking, you
obviously have to know you had a pick. Well, I
don't know. Yeah, again, I don't know what.

Speaker 3 (01:23:24):
Other than Cooper Flag being involved, I make that trade.
I can't make that trade fast enough. Sean, how old
is Giannas thirty? He'll be thirty one by the start
of next season.

Speaker 2 (01:23:34):
Ok, so he's got a lot of game k And
that might.

Speaker 4 (01:23:37):
Not make a difference with the Citchers because if Joe
can't play, probably doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (01:23:41):
Nothing matters, right, And if you get now let me
ask a question.

Speaker 4 (01:23:44):
If you got the number one pick, would you then say, now,
I can't do it because I got Cooper?

Speaker 2 (01:23:49):
No, I want Cooper. That's fine, I'm good with that. Yeah,
But the premise was that you couldn't give up Maxie.

Speaker 1 (01:23:58):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
I love MAXI you can give up I can give
up Maxie for Giannis. Look, I'm a fan. We love him.
He's a great kid.

Speaker 4 (01:24:05):
And I can't give up Paul George fast enough with
that contract. Your problem is nobody wants or you're gonna
get there, pulled George back.

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
That's the problem. Not a good situation.

Speaker 4 (01:24:17):
Interesting though, that if they if the Sixers do get
you know, the third pick or the fourth pick or whatever.
They could end what they they can, you know, gives
them options. I guess that they'll screw up. But that's
all right.

Speaker 2 (01:24:27):
Here's here's a bit of an existential question. Existential.

Speaker 3 (01:24:32):
Now that we're through almost through Round one in the
NBA playoffs, before we get to baseball, Who's who are
you picking to win the title?

Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
Now that you've got a chance to see these teams
in action. Mike Kurr, Okay, my pick will be different
than it might have been. I'm gonna go out. I'm
gonna make a weird pick. I'm gonna take Cleveland, Cleveland
to win it all enough because I think the West Path.

Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
Is a little harder.

Speaker 4 (01:24:58):
That is true, all right, that's fair, you know, I mean, okay, see, yeah,
and there's a lot of good teams in the West
bed Park's Championship.

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
Yeah yeah, and I think Cleveland can beat Boston.

Speaker 5 (01:25:11):
Look up, it is uh, okay, SE's plus one forty
Boston plus one seventy five. Similar to the beginning, sure
Cleveland plus four to fifty. I'm taking the four to fifty.

Speaker 4 (01:25:21):
Then you have.

Speaker 5 (01:25:22):
Minnesota at plus seventeen hundred. Then it drops down to
Golden State and the cliff are thirty plus, right.

Speaker 2 (01:25:29):
Because one of them might not even Yeah, it's got
to be gone.

Speaker 4 (01:25:32):
And I'm starting to like the Minnesota's.

Speaker 3 (01:25:34):
I like the Minnesota I know you always tell me
about I mean, they were in the Western Conference finalist year, right, yep,
So let's discuss before we get to baseball, and that
we brought that up. So Luca trade to the Lakers.
Everybody said Dallas got fleecehed.

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
Well, because because Luca is going to be a star
for Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:51):
But Luca gone. Dallas gone, but didn't have a fair
fight because Kyrie got hurt. Davis barently played so at
the I think maybe that's not as obvious the other trade.
And frankly we all thought this was a joke. Was
the one with the Knicks and the Timberwolves. Well, the
Knicks are still playing. They moved on will so are
the Timberwolves. And Randall was playing, was playing well, and

(01:26:15):
Dante Dante's been a big party three.

Speaker 4 (01:26:18):
They got no.

Speaker 3 (01:26:18):
Bench, So maybe they're saying to themselves, all right, cat
got us to the Western Finals, but we think he has.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
Some flaws and we think he's a little like Luca
in a different way.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
And Tim Connelly, who's built basically built the Nuggets is
now at the Timberwolves, said I don't think we're good
enough even though we got to the Western Finals.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
Look, maybe they got a great matchup with the Lakers
and that'll be it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:44):
But Dan, they're through and they look like clowns for
much of the season until the animal.

Speaker 2 (01:26:49):
The only problem I have maybe a reevaluate there. The
only problem I have with.

Speaker 3 (01:26:53):
What Dallas did was the guy he treated for gets
hurt a lot too. Yes, that's my problem. Any significantly
older and he's older, and they didn't get anything. On
top of that, they should have got Reeves.

Speaker 4 (01:27:05):
They should have just said the planket, Look we're getting Reeves,
or we ain't making the deal.

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
That's fine, we'll go into the off season and we'll
do what we have to do in the off season.
That was the part that was weird, that they didn't
just shop them around and see what the best deal was.
But that who knows what that was all about. That
that's a story that still you have to be written.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
And the other on they talked to one and the
other problem they have is that Kyrie might not be
playing next year.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
I mean, it's you know, and that's not the hard
I don't know either way. It ain't good no either way,
and that's you know, a long time back.

Speaker 4 (01:27:35):
But I understand the logic and actually JJ Reddick understands
the logic now because you just came out and said,
my guy, you know, not sh not in shape.

Speaker 3 (01:27:44):
Yeah, look, but yeah you Lucas probably I don't know
what he does typically in an off season.

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
Obviously, one thing he's gonna he's with Joe, they're over,
they're hanging out. He's gonna have to move at some point.

Speaker 4 (01:27:55):
He'll he'll he'll he'll make it look like he is.

Speaker 3 (01:27:59):
Well, you know, you'll show you'll show films of them
working out and take he go to a gym.

Speaker 2 (01:28:05):
They'll get like Ben Simmons making free exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:28:07):
Yeah, and he'll he'll he'll come in his mind, Luca
will be doing what Lucas should be doing. Lucas gonna
do what he's done in the last ten years and
it gets him to five first team.

Speaker 3 (01:28:20):
All he ain't gonna be first team this year is
because he missed him many games, right, no change, But
I'm saying he was a first team All NBA five
street and interestingly did not finish in the top three
in any MVP voting.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
Very interesting. All right, going to baseball, are we less concerned?

Speaker 3 (01:28:35):
I know we talked a little bit about at the
beginning about the Phillies bullpen. Now that there's a guy
that got from Toronto, Romero Ramona, Romana, Ramana looks like better.

Speaker 2 (01:28:46):
He looks better. Right at the beginning, he looked like
a guy that.

Speaker 4 (01:28:49):
Was hurt, a squirreless industreet going all the.

Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
Line up, they've been hitting a little better, Kyle, Is
that a fair statement? But against bad teams?

Speaker 4 (01:28:59):
Yeah, I don't even know. Yeah, they're hitting better than
they They have trouble playing small ball and that's what
they're trying to do.

Speaker 2 (01:29:05):
So it's hard.

Speaker 3 (01:29:05):
So they're eighteen and fourteen, three and a half behind
the Mets, twelve and five at home I mentioned earlier,
six and nine on the road, they're.

Speaker 2 (01:29:12):
Only plus five runs.

Speaker 3 (01:29:14):
That's a little concerning at this point, like the Mets
are like plus sixty eight. Michae Let's start with you
are you? Where are you on the Phillies in general?
As we get to the first Saturday, Well, nothing much
is changing. I mean I think they're going to be.
I was going to pose this question.

Speaker 4 (01:29:32):
I was thinking about this, man, would you gut what
would surprise you more if the Phillies didn't make the
playoffs or they didn't make it to at least.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
The nlcs not make the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
I agree with you, which means I still think they're
going to be in the playoffs and perhaps win a
series or maybe you have to win two if they're
the wildcard team.

Speaker 4 (01:29:56):
I still think the Phillies are that team. Now maybe
they're not, and there's a lot of good teams in
the NL. That's one of the problems, that's the issue.
I'm just looking up the standings, like the.

Speaker 2 (01:30:05):
NL West four good teams, yeah, I mean right and Colorado. Yeah,
San Diego's in. San Diego's legitimate eleven San Franciscos twenty
and thirty times.

Speaker 4 (01:30:15):
But they might be playing. Yeah, they do have to
play each other a lot ice or maybe they don't anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:30:20):
I don't even know. When they played twelve, they played
like the Phillies played.

Speaker 3 (01:30:23):
Here's the amazing thing the Dodgers, with all the crap
that happened to a maroon, there's still one pace to
win one hundred and ten games.

Speaker 2 (01:30:29):
Yeah, fifteen and three at home, seven and seven.

Speaker 4 (01:30:31):
It's it's, you know, insane. Colorado is struggling section They No,
they're relegated. Yeah they I mean the Cubs maybe are
the best team, yes, yeah, Dick the twenty three. The
Colorado Is are on pace to break the White Sox
record from last year.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
No, they're bad, They're they're like.

Speaker 4 (01:30:50):
How about this, Phils are in Colorado?

Speaker 2 (01:30:52):
How about this?

Speaker 4 (01:30:53):
A couple of weeks Colorado made the playoffs and like
I want to say, eighteen seventeen or eighteen, Bud Black
was the manager. Since then, they had two hundred loss
seasons to ninety some lost seasons, and then there was
the pandemic year where they only lost like whatever, they
they still lost one hundred.

Speaker 2 (01:31:08):
It's unbelievable. They're going for their They're gonna have their
third straight.

Speaker 4 (01:31:11):
Hundred lost season in a division where four of the
teams are really good. It is May third and they
have won six games, and you know who the wild card?
A little bit of notices of the Braves, because I
don't think anybody knows what the who the Braves are.

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
You know, when they get their whole team together by
like July or whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:31:30):
The sports books are not worried about it because they
are still tied with the Phillies, really.

Speaker 4 (01:31:34):
Fourth in winning the World That surprises me a little bit.
But yeah, because I think the Braves might have some issues,
but they're the Braves, so I don't know what that means.
That Look, the Dodgers are the team to beat, even
get Hem and Hall. I mean, the Dodgers didn't wonder
their pitchers. I think just went out he got you
got something with glass now or something had some kind
of problem. Uh, you know, But I mean the Dodgers

(01:31:56):
are so good that if you know, I'd like to
make it take the field against the Dodgers.

Speaker 5 (01:32:03):
Yeah, glass now shut down for ten to fourteen days.

Speaker 4 (01:32:05):
Yeah, that's not good, you know, But the Dodgers won
last year with bullpen bullpen games in the World Series.

Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:32:12):
And by the way, Aaron Judge, he's hitting over four hundred.
He's seventy points ahead of the next best hundred. He's
like at four to twenty. The next guy in baseball
is like at three forty three thirty.

Speaker 5 (01:32:24):
Aaron Judge is hitting four thirty ten homers thirty two
are beyond him.

Speaker 3 (01:32:29):
Yes, four thirty, four thirty. What's the next guy in baseball? Uh,
I have to look it up, but it's like three thirty.

Speaker 4 (01:32:37):
I'll let you know. It's not Brandon Marsh.

Speaker 2 (01:32:39):
Yeah, four thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:32:44):
A pretty big sample size. We're through a month of
the season, We're twenty percent.

Speaker 2 (01:32:47):
Of the season's over. That's he's the first.

Speaker 4 (01:32:51):
I think they said he was the first Yankee to
do something like in the at the end of April
by like that's like Ruth Gurig.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
Yeah, man, man, uh.

Speaker 4 (01:33:02):
Wow, number two.

Speaker 5 (01:33:05):
Is hitting three sixty one, okay, and it's the Yankees
first baseman, Paul Goldsmith.

Speaker 2 (01:33:11):
Wow, not Brandon Marsh.

Speaker 4 (01:33:12):
It's not Brandon Marsh.

Speaker 3 (01:33:13):
So he's still sixty points seventy points ahead of Goldsmith.

Speaker 2 (01:33:17):
Yeah, we got off on a tangent. Yeah, I'm sorry.
We did the shows. We should call a.

Speaker 10 (01:33:22):
Chance to show tangent, but it took a tangent. Tangent's
here there. And now you mentioned Bryce Harbor before you
had a beef with him.

Speaker 2 (01:33:28):
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (01:33:29):
Well, first of all, he's not playing very well, which okay,
and we've seen this. You know, he might have a
great second half of year or whatever. He looks like
he almost something's missing. And I know, and I've told
to a couple of people about this, and they seem
to say the same thing.

Speaker 4 (01:33:43):
And I don't know. Bryce is usually that energetic kind
of guy, you know, whether he's making mistakes or he's
the guy that's kind of leading your team.

Speaker 2 (01:33:50):
Him and schwar where I think for the most part,
I just don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:33:53):
I don't know what to make of it. I don't
I don't think he's upset about anything. I mean, I
don't think there's been anything stories or but but he's not.
And nobody ever criticizes Bryce. He never gets criticized.

Speaker 4 (01:34:04):
You know, when the Phillies the last three years of
going out because they haven't hit well. Bryce hasn't hitting
those games either. And I'm not saying that he carried
him against the Braves that one year, him and Hoskins
and and San Diego, you know the whole deal.

Speaker 2 (01:34:17):
But again, Bryce never.

Speaker 3 (01:34:19):
Gets there's some athletes, if the quarterback has one bad game,
he stinks, right that that's the first thing you say, Ay.

Speaker 2 (01:34:28):
Hosk for Bryce Harper.

Speaker 3 (01:34:29):
And I understand he's a popular guy and he came
here and he's he's kind yeah, but you know, that's
just the.

Speaker 2 (01:34:34):
Way it is. What's what's Bryce hitting at the moment?
He is not good fifty.

Speaker 4 (01:34:40):
I don't even I don't even think he's out high that.

Speaker 5 (01:34:42):
Oh I think he's still he might not. Oh boy
five yeah, how many homers? Five homers? Sixteen rbos?

Speaker 2 (01:34:50):
Yeah, but again he could have a hot you know,
Bryce can have a hot month. Look, he's proven over
a period yes time.

Speaker 5 (01:34:55):
But yeah, nobody on the team's hitting well. No, Trey
Turner's hitting ninety nine right now. I think second on
the team is Scott who's hitting two. But there will
be times this year.

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
We all know it.

Speaker 4 (01:35:07):
June schwar bur owns June, right, I mean that's his month,
and he's having a really good year anyway. But the
Phillies will hit. It's just and we won't know for
five months. Will they hit when you're in game four
of a playoffs sers. So I'm looking at the rest
of the teams in the National League. Uh, there's other
than the NL West teams that we just mentioned. There's

(01:35:28):
only one other team that's not leading their division. It's
even over five hundred. Yeah, because anybody know who that
team is yeah, I'm looking at women.

Speaker 3 (01:35:35):
Don't there's one team, what, one team over over five hundred,
not leading their division, not in the NL West. We
just mentioned Phillies at San Francisco. Yeah, other than phill Oh,
I'm sorry, one other team. So the playoffs are not
that complicated. I think the Braves are still under five hundred.

Speaker 4 (01:35:51):
That's not so, it has to be.

Speaker 3 (01:35:54):
It's the Cubs are leading the Central Cincinnati correct Cincinnati Reds.

Speaker 2 (01:36:00):
Johnny Bench made her comeback, getting John h a team?

Speaker 4 (01:36:04):
Ellie, are John h a team he gives? They always
they always screw him up somehow. I guess maybe when
he's making bets or something. Marche shot is making a
come Oh yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
Shots. Whatever happened to her? Gone?

Speaker 4 (01:36:18):
I hope.

Speaker 2 (01:36:21):
Do you even know March shotters? No, she was. She
was the ash always say this, Michael owner and a
nice way.

Speaker 3 (01:36:27):
She owned the Reds for a while, and she used
to come on the field with her dog named Shatzi.

Speaker 4 (01:36:32):
I believe is that Shazi.

Speaker 3 (01:36:34):
And she always had a cigarette hanging out of her mouth.
And she was probably sixty and looked like she was
like two hundred.

Speaker 4 (01:36:40):
Air statement and she made Nazi comments she would make
like a comment about the Nazis.

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
She said some things that probably.

Speaker 4 (01:36:49):
Nobody like a solid representation of the franchise. We're not
politically correct. That's one theme that should never come up
in any conversation. Well we just unless you're discussing World
War two or something.

Speaker 2 (01:37:00):
Not not a good thing.

Speaker 3 (01:37:02):
I mean, I still think, look, Phillies have they'll make
the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (01:37:06):
I let's put this. If they don't make the playoffs,
there's gonna be a dynamo. Well, look, there's gonna be
changes after the year anyway, unless maybe they win the
whole thing, and that thing.

Speaker 2 (01:37:16):
Even if they win the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (01:37:17):
There's gonna be changes because you got some contracts that
they got to address.

Speaker 2 (01:37:20):
They got different things.

Speaker 4 (01:37:22):
But if God forbid, this thing doesn't get the manager's gone,
GM might be gone.

Speaker 2 (01:37:28):
Uh, and there will be changes because you can't. Not
making the.

Speaker 4 (01:37:34):
Playoffs and not winning in the playoffs is one thing
that still will be will not go over well in
this town. I say, if they lose the Dodgers in
the playoffs, you can almost say, Okay, they lost the Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (01:37:45):
Man ro sitting three hundred, you neglected to mention I
did center field. They should just leave him in center field.
Let's just let him play. Is marstill on the miners,
he's about to come up?

Speaker 4 (01:37:56):
I think I think let this kid play, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:38:02):
And Kepler hit a home run last night.

Speaker 4 (01:38:03):
There's a game winning home run right away. And they're
still not a good hitting team.

Speaker 5 (01:38:07):
I mean, let's face it, they're better than what they had,
but they have five runs in the last two games sometime,
so a lot of solo shots to well they did.

Speaker 4 (01:38:14):
They hit solos very under the radar. Kyle Schwarber in
a contract year, is having a monster year and the
Phillies might have to give him a lot of money
at age. I think he's like thirty three, Am I
wrong about that?

Speaker 2 (01:38:30):
Thirty two? Okay, but he'll be thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:38:32):
Three probably by the time he's signed the contract. Yeah,
and you know.

Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
Baseball, he's that ain't always for DH.

Speaker 3 (01:38:38):
But my god, he's going to hit forty some home
runs again for like the fourth straight year. Yeah, he's
going to get down his one. Was he a free
agent or he was a free agent signing? Right? I
think it's someone the signings they had the pitcher they
signed him, and I was against that kind of Wheeler
where they signed this guy Schwarberg.

Speaker 4 (01:38:58):
Harper, Well, Harper, turn Well, you can't hit on every one.
I mean, but again, I think Turner's okay. I just
don't think he's.

Speaker 3 (01:39:06):
Worth three hundred million, But you know, two hundred for
if you were lining up one the thirty short stops
in Major League Baseball.

Speaker 4 (01:39:14):
Yeah, I'm guessing he's ten and fifteen. Would i'd be
in the ballparker, I don't know enough. I don't know either,
I'd be making it up.

Speaker 2 (01:39:21):
Is he in the top ten? I'd be surprised if
he's not in the bottom ten in the fielding.

Speaker 4 (01:39:24):
Well that Yeah, he's a brutal, but he was billed
as something that he hasn't been correct and as you're
getting older, there's probably less chance he will be that,
and he probably never really was. Now, there was a time,
I think, like when the Washingtons were winning the World Series,
he was considered Series Harper, and then he went to
the Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (01:39:44):
He's a shortstop on that team, Yes, sir, no, he was,
you know, nineteen, He's been around a while for a
guy that's still got seven more years left on his contract,
think about that.

Speaker 5 (01:39:56):
Yeah, the year before the phil he signed him with
the Dodgers. That's when he had a hundred ribbies and
hit three hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:40:04):
Okay, here's what I will say about Trey Turner, and
then anybody that the Dodgers let go.

Speaker 2 (01:40:11):
Makes me question because they don't let go of anybody
that they don't want to let go. That's a really
good point.

Speaker 3 (01:40:15):
They certainly could have paid him, and they went out
and signed another short stop, right, Kyle, they had to
Hobby or did they have a short they let Seger
go too? Right?

Speaker 2 (01:40:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:40:22):
I think they had. Segar went to the Texas and
won won the World Series MVP.

Speaker 3 (01:40:26):
It's the Dodgers the only guy who win the World
Series MVP with two teams.

Speaker 2 (01:40:29):
Well, how about that? I mean, you get information here I.

Speaker 4 (01:40:35):
They got they got Mookie Betts playing. Well that's why
they got Okay, that's fair. But Mookie wasn't a shortstop
when they got No, he was an outfielder, all right.
So I just got a text from my man, Kenny Mane,
who was a guest. He's the best.

Speaker 3 (01:40:48):
Kenny Kenny goes Metallica fans are hurting my price on
sand Man.

Speaker 2 (01:40:53):
H Sandman is in the derby.

Speaker 3 (01:40:56):
Today Metallica fans. That's crazy any be at the Derby today?
See there, I don't think he is. He's in Seattle.
Is that where he's kind of based at it?

Speaker 2 (01:41:04):
In Seattle? In Connecticut?

Speaker 9 (01:41:06):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:41:06):
Okay, okay, he's got a place right on the lake
in Seattle.

Speaker 3 (01:41:09):
Uh. And another one of the guys on the chank goes,
journalism over publisher has to be the hunch play of lake.

Speaker 9 (01:41:16):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (01:41:16):
In all seriousness? You know what I mean? Racist publishers. One,
by the way, zero has not won a race and
is in the Derby. How do you get in the
Derby without winning a finished second in the Arkansas Derby?
So I got enough points to get fair enough?

Speaker 3 (01:41:33):
See, I would have to play that for a couple
of bucks. Journalism over published. See what those numbers are?

Speaker 2 (01:41:38):
Eight something?

Speaker 4 (01:41:39):
Whereas publisher on this playing teams.

Speaker 3 (01:41:44):
Eight thirteen like they it's the old eight thirteen exactly.
Journalism over publishers.

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
Okay, I might that would make sense.

Speaker 3 (01:41:54):
Publishers trained by here's another great Derby status trained by
Steve Asmins. Why I know that names hem fell eight
hundred and sixty two races which had never won the Derby.
Oh for twenty six is Dale Arnhardt. This is publisher
correct and tastic is Oh he's gott a bet publisher.

Speaker 6 (01:42:11):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:42:12):
You have to throw in your sastmus and wins his
first derby with a horse's Yes, that's a tremendous storyline, right,
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (01:42:22):
And you know more than anybody that those things happen
in horse racing all the time. I'm still trying to
figure out how that damn rech strike one red strike
and you know what, you know how many races you
wont after that?

Speaker 4 (01:42:37):
Zero zero now?

Speaker 2 (01:42:38):
And you'll never You'll never figure it out. Yeah, impossible.
It'll be like NC State eighty three. Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:42:44):
I watched that race from the turf course at Churchill.
I hadn't been there since twenty seventeen. I went back
and I'm watching it and here comes episodeer. I have
a lot of money on it. He's got this d
race is open and it's Asthmas and he's finally gonna win,
and he's got the race one and then out of
the corners, who is this number twenty one?

Speaker 2 (01:43:03):
Number twenty one should even be allowed.

Speaker 3 (01:43:05):
In the race, And hell yeah they got and he
got in the race that's what's crazy. Five minutes before
the scratch deadline, the day before Wayne Lucas scratches his horse.

Speaker 2 (01:43:14):
That's how rich Strike got in the race.

Speaker 4 (01:43:17):
I mean, what just happened?

Speaker 2 (01:43:18):
That only happens at race. I watched that thirty.

Speaker 4 (01:43:21):
I watched that thirty for thirty about three times a year,
four times advance.

Speaker 2 (01:43:26):
What's that called the advancing succeed advance.

Speaker 4 (01:43:30):
I still can't believe if you watch the entirety of
how that season went.

Speaker 3 (01:43:35):
Forget that the six games in the tournament, which are
absurd enough. They had to win the ACCON tournament just again.

Speaker 4 (01:43:40):
One guy was hurt.

Speaker 3 (01:43:42):
Wintenberg was hurt. He had a broken foot. Comes back.
They had to beat Carolina and Virginia in the tournament.
In the acc tournament, it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:51):
Just to get in.

Speaker 4 (01:43:53):
Then they had to beat the pepper the first game
the Pepperdine was it right, and man and the kids
shooting free throws. They're down six, he's in ninety free
throw shooter miss is the front end of two.

Speaker 2 (01:44:04):
One and ones. It was Harock's team, right. This is
the worst gambling moment. Oh, I'm sorry, sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:44:11):
I bet Pepperdine in that game with Jim Herrick as
the coach, figuring NC State had nothing. It's going They're
going west. I think the game is like argun or somewhere,
and Pepperdine has the game won. I mean they have
the game one and my man game subtle. I'll never
forget his name, free throw shooter. And then and this
is when they started just vowling people. And they were

(01:44:33):
the ones who started.

Speaker 2 (01:44:34):
I had a foul. They were done six, no clock,
no threes, and my man.

Speaker 4 (01:44:40):
Just keeps breaking free throws.

Speaker 2 (01:44:42):
Aus you gotta do is make one, I cover, I win.
I get all these like and I'm on the phone
with my buddy and we bet all the money. It's
like two thirty in the morning, and well, what is
going on here?

Speaker 4 (01:44:52):
Brutal?

Speaker 2 (01:44:53):
And then they had to they had to beat virgin
They never take us. They won every time, and they
had to beat Virginia again in the whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:44:59):
And remember when Wooden won his last title and they
beat Louisville in the in the semis, the Louisville guys
at the line, he had made eighteen of eighteen, twenty eight,
twenty eight for twenty eight, had missed all year, missed.
And you say he wins the game. Terry Howard was
out his name Terry Howard.

Speaker 3 (01:45:17):
They brought him off the bat the bench to shoot
a freak found and he had not missed all year.

Speaker 2 (01:45:22):
He misses what.

Speaker 3 (01:45:25):
Washington comes down winsday for UC be Kentucky in the championship.

Speaker 4 (01:45:29):

for thirty? Did you see the hotel that n C
State was staying in.

Speaker 2 (01:45:36):
I do not remember that.

Speaker 3 (01:45:37):
It was like a roadway in I mean no. They
made jokes about it in the first round. They made
the game you're talking about. When they were out in.

Speaker 4 (01:45:45):
Oregon, they showed pictures of us, like, now you see
where these teams stay now trailer.

Speaker 3 (01:45:50):
