Speaker 1 (00:00):
Don Hey, it's news Denord and it's brought to you
by the casino at Canterbury Parkcanterburypark dot Com feeling the
felt all day, every day at Canterbury Poker, blackjack and
(00:22):
table games, having SIPs at Chips.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Live Racing. What a Derby Day party it was.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
And now that kind of wets our palette for a
fun twenty twenty six live racing season at Canterbury Park
and you can get the details. I believe it starts
May twenty third, that would be Memorial Day weekend and
you can get all the days and plan your trips right.
We got Thursday afternoon posts, we got Saturday evening posts.
I know we're gonna have Family Day, which means face
(00:48):
painting and playground and cool stuff for the kids and
maybe some food trucks. The bits are endless at Canterbury,
so check it out. Check out the Minnesota Twins who
throttled the Natties yesterday. Eleven to three was the final
Buxton with a three to one shot. You're digging that
Taj Bradley just two runs allowed over the course of
six eight k's TODJ Bradley four and one. Loving that addition,
(01:12):
to the starting rotation. Loving the news by the way
coming out that there was no structural damage in an
MRI for Joe Ryan, and so good news on that front,
winning games and finding your way to keeping Joe Ryan
in the mix. Glad that he avoided any serious injuries,
at least in the short term. But it's Bailey Ober,
(01:33):
Bailey Ober, and Miles Michlis. That's going to be five
forty five pm local time this evening. Go Minnesota Twins,
the Minnesota Wild, The Buston's on fire, next he is
on fire.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I just had to let ab and know I was
in the studio, not jaking a segment, jaking a segment.
What's I guess I haven't heard jaking old school reference
to like take something off or give you know, like
the music you play on the show. Well, I'm jaking it.
Give well, that'd be a bet. No, it's it's it's terrible,
(02:07):
but you played perpetually played the same terrible songs over
and over and over and over and over.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Oh, totally right, I'm jaking it. Yeah, I guess jaking it.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
As that example would go, no, that makes sense, So
like me, jaking it would be taking off part of
News donor to fix my watch.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Canadians and Sabers tonight. Wild lose five to two last night,
but the playoffs continue this evening. Wild on a silver
platter last night the only NHL game in action. But
tonight you're gonna get two for the money. Six o'clock.
It's Canadians and Sabers. They kick off their series. So
Canadians fun young group to watch, Cawfield and everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And but I'm kind of rooting for Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Kind of look, you know, Tage Thompson, go crazy, Jason Zooker,
go crazy, Go Buffalo Sabers.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But Alex Tuck, Alex Tuck, another former Why Ducks and
Golden Knights.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Vegas took care of the Ducks in Game one, and
game two will be this evening.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
In the NHL.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
To the NBA side, it's going to be the Minnesota
Timberwolves at eight thirty pm this evening. Now, we were
going to cover the Wolves more Dane A eleven thirty five.
I wanted did you watch any of OKC and The
Lake Show missed it?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And then in the end, OKAC just kind of mows
them down. It's no Luca. A lot of conversation. They
do they are they more future focused post you know,
new ownership group in the mix.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, we want Luca back.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, we want to beat OKAC and extend ourselves in
the series and in the postseason, but we want to
make sure Luca is all good. So maybe we don't
put Luca back in the mix at this stage. But
the Lakers, it just feels like again the freight train
keeps coming out of Oklahoma City as they handle business,
and then Detroit beating Cleveland yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Lake show can have could have a healthy Luka Doncic
and a young James Worthy and still would not beat
this OKC bunch. No, it's too much.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And well, hopefully the Minnesota Timberwolves get a chance at
a rematch, if you will, but they got to handle
the Spurs first.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
That's news, Denord, it has brought to you.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Oh hey, I got actually one little nugget former Twin News.
It's not positive, So I don't know why this popped
in my head. At the very end here, Carlos Correa
sadly he suffered a torn tendon in his left ankle,
and I believe it was during like batting practice yet
taking swings in the batting cage before Tuesday's game against
the Dodgers. He's done for the year and it's going
(04:38):
to require six to eight months of recovery time.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So awful news for Carlos.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And I know it didn't end here positively, but I
love Carlos Korea's game. It's better when he's healthy and
on the field making plays. So tough news there in
the baseball world. So jaking it. The origin stems from
the early nineteen hundreds at a baseball play player named
Garland Jake Stall. Okay, I didn't know, Russo Radio wrote
(05:05):
in the early nineteen hundreds. The most common theory is
that he refused to play in a game due to
a foot injury. Thereafter, other players and sports writers would
say he's jaking it when referring to a player who
was loafing or using an injury.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
To stay out of the lineup. Okay, so I got
to the Winter circle, but I didn't know how I
got to the Winter circle. But that's all that matters,
is getting to the Winter circle. So that's that's the
origin of jaking it. Hey, don't jake it on these talkbacks,
all right. It can be what was wild or what
will be Timberwolves tonight talkbacks free iHeartRadio app up to
(05:49):
thirty seconds. Make k fan your preset. It's eleven fifteen
and we're going to run some talkbacks for a little bit.
Next segment walking up to Dane more elite basketball mind
at eleven third thirty five. But here comes the con
with the cash.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
The fanom big deck dot com. They want to give
you a shot to win some bonus bucks with the
National Cash Contest. This hour's keyword is coin and you
might win some with the keyword coin. Entering at kfe
in dot com.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Good hit on Hughes, but the hit McKinnon put on
Boldy that was dirty. Should have been a boarding penalty,
and then Boldy he got sucker punts there. One way
to beat him is to get the rest to call
the correct penalties. And you gotta stop letting soft goals.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Galton's it'll be better.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Those two things.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Minnesota can still win.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Talkbacks. Nordal respond to the talkbacks plae.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Sorry, boys, but my eyes don't lie. Colorado is just
a better team. You guys can want to make back
in the Little Rocks. But uh got clipped on by
the program director hard.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
For your boys.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Sorry, my eyes don't lie, though.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Has no doubt your eyes don't lie. You're seeing everything clearly. Talkbacks, please?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
What up?
Speaker 7 (07:42):
What up?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Nordal?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Good Morning's Charles from Saint Paul.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
When the Wild come back to Saint Paul, Minnesota to
take game three, Game four, and we'll close it out in.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
Game six, let's go, I mean, let's go Wild, let's go, yeah, Charles.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
If we had a twenty five dollars Northern Fire gift card,
I mean I would, and I don't even endorse Northern Fire.
I would demand that you win it. But you didn't, Charles.
I don't even know you, Charles in the Capital City.
I mean, how much? How much do you really really
believe that in your heart? Because I mean you weren't
(08:30):
preaching it, you were just just kind of talking it.
So you got on nine to noon, you use the
talkback machine. You got our version to work of the punt.
Don dun dun don don don dum bottle it up
to dast up to l Charles, though well probably goes
(08:56):
without saying. But I'm not saying anyway.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
I don't like you one second here, all right, you're
asking how we win?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, here's how we win.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
At this point in the series, I think we can
confidently say that we cannot keep up offensively with Colorado's
high flying, super.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Quick physicult sunsets in the last what's next game?
Speaker 9 (09:25):
We need to sit back, play some defense and wait
for them to make mistakes and hope for the best.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
There you go, Oh yeah, I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And those mistakes presented themselves in Game one, whether it
was the Shorty, I mean some of the awful. I mean,
it's hard to say that the best team in the NHL,
but what a hideous mass and a moment for McKinnon
as he just that turnover in the offensive zone that
sent Moose flying for the Shorty. Like they are not
perfect by any stretch despite being the best team in
(09:56):
the NHL.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Is they have I believe proven to be. If I'm
Anaheim or Vegas copyright sauce, I'm ssing my bees as
in my breezers what play hooky kind of looked like
Gus was doing that a little bit last night. Pay
The way to beat the Ads is simple. We need
(10:17):
to ec back, and we need elite goaltending.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
And we all know the only goalie we have that
can be elite.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Let's go wild. Yeah, Nine to Noon has not really
ventured down the risky move that was made by the
head coach into game number two by using Gustavson beloved
Gus Buss. I think in part because I got a
little loud yesterday saying the right move was to use bus.
(10:46):
It's time to drop. So that's that's generally speaking, why
the topic hasn't emerged too much.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well, I hate I hate the hypothetical of it, so
I was fine with them sticking with Wally.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
We had talked about it.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's like, you know, just nine just don't let them
sit on that, like, get them back in there.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And that's that's a take.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
The other end of it is, if not now when
it was the perfect spot, kids played seven games in
a row, I think for the first time in his career,
like this stuff matters. Maybe the kid needs a breath
and come back on Saturday. But the hypothetical of it
then is, I mean, he gives up two goals on
the first two freaking shots, and I just I'm still
the second goal.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Lundkuvivisit or or Patrick Waugh or Ken Dryden aren't stopping.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
But I know what you mean, Yeah, that was the
Landiskog powers. I think h McKinnon pass was the ball. Yeah,
they're high end. But but to that end, the hypothetical
is if he doesn't give up that first goal to Nietzsches,
does that potentially change the frame of the game. And
I just don't want to because they're not breaking a sweat. No,
they're not being forced to do anything. The Avs get
(11:54):
up three zero, then we get up by four. They're
not breaking a sweat. It's it's copyright common. It's duckies
and bunnies. It's yeah, it's rainbow rainbows and toy toy
ponies and where's the beef? And what are you looking at, Beetle.
I mean, they're they're not breaking a sweat, not at all.
(12:16):
So first game they're not breaking a sweat, just distributing
or delivering the alacrity up and down the ice and
the dipsy doodles and the spins and the saucer passes
and fifteen drop passes that were the bomb.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
They were showing off. Second game, just when you think, hey,
all right, you ain't gonna show off like that. We're
gonna we're gonna button things up, or actually that would
be tighten things down. Oh, yes, we're going to tighten
things down as we batten down the hatches and and
we're not gonna let you do stuff like that. And
they're like, cool, we'll just beat you up the entire game.
(12:55):
So then they go to this physical style. I mean,
actually saw Natchure hit somebody, Landeskogg hits everybody. McKinnon got
so frustrated with Hughsey that he's like, here's the deal.
We're up two goals. I know you're gonna stop and
do this little spin thing and I'm just gonna whoop
your butt and I'm gonna knock you right down on
the ice. It's I'm sure you know you could be
(13:18):
like like, hey, players have scored more than McKinnon scored
in the game, or had more points or whatever. When
I said atop the show, now, I'm not watching as
much hockey as the state of hockey. Like like like
I said when they traded for Quinn Hughes, I ain't
trying to pretend like I have the center ice package
watching Vancouver Canucks hockey, trying to figure out which Elieus
(13:41):
Patterson Peterson is the right one at ten fifteen a night.
The Sabine Twins still play for him. So I knew
Hughsey was good, but I had no idea that I
watching Matt and A at Buffalo right after I got here,
and I'm like, are you kidding me with this? Holy
Kallas Allen iverson on skates. So everybody knows all that
kind of stuff. But when I say McKinnon, for my taste,
(14:04):
played one of the most dominating best hockey games I
can recall a player playing, it's because you're watching somebody
that size skate like Hughsy bust you up like I
don't know Jacob Truba and just continue to give and
give and make all the right decisions. And yes, I know, hey, hey, yeah,
(14:27):
I know he's best in show. Okay, it's the whole thing,
isn't it. But it's not always on display. It was
on display last night.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, well, I'll probably go to that saying, but I'm
not saying anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I don't like.
Speaker 10 (14:38):
You guys just from Greenfield. I called in about a
month ago when Mick Tackett called Nordo something like Nordo Gordo.
Now I hear SQUI I can't help myself I've got
to repeat what I did back then.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Don't do it. He ain't heavy. He's my producer the
day Bud ain't heavy. He's our punch. And on the
forest downs were we go.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
We gotta be in fan on the farm season here
pretty quick. I wonder if that was a combine run
or not a comp was a planting season.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I'm going to hold back on any jokes, comments or
critiques of that last talkback because I don't want somebody
to blow a vouve of zella in my ear for
the next six hours. And the hand fed is going
on with you, guys.
Speaker 11 (15:34):
Apa, Nord Squish Brad here, it's currently pitching.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
A tent down in North Now. It's a bit band wagon.
Speaker 11 (15:40):
Wolves fan here.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Old we stepped on it, Nord Squishy, we stepped on
it close.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Well.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
The thing is you don't care about being squishy, no,
so that that's what makes it, That's what makes it good. No,
I'm not offended by it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I know if I didn't want to be squishy, I
would There are things I could do to not be squishy.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
No doubt. You choose to be squishy, which I have
a lot of admiration for.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
I'm jaking it as it predates to physical fitness. I'm
jaking it, but you don't care, which makes it fine.
All right, brad here, do it again?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Do it again?
Speaker 11 (16:14):
Okay, Apa nord squish brad here currently pitching a tent
down in Northfield vand Wagon Wolves fan here only put
them on during the playoff time.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
No apologies for that quick question.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
Is Rudy Gobert always that frustrating to watch on the
offensive side of the ball? I get he's super talented,
really big French guy, but I don't think I saw
him catch a clean pass from a teammate the entire night.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Thank you personal wow clipping. I mean that whole thing
was a verbal clipping penalty. I loved it. I loved it.
Wow Man, I don't know, Man, I got a scowl.
So all right, we're gonna pause. Yeah, when we return
the Great Dane Moore, well he yeah, no pitch attack Oaks,
(17:00):
no more squishy, no more fat person in your window stuff,
move a Zella's out of my ear back. After that,
I can't wait.
Speaker 12 (17:11):
I can't wait until themorrow go tomorrow mine very well
be truly, I can't wait. I can't wait until tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
At Danemore NBA. The Day More NBA podcast is the bombing.
He souper gracious and cool for doing this for us, Dane.
It's Paul Allen. I just looked at at Danemore NBA.
Are you actually at Timberwolf shoot around right now?
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I am. I am in some room that had a
closed door that I could take this.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Okay, Okay, well I want to I mean yeah, I
want to apologize. I don't want to pull from shoot around. Man,
I had no idea the shoot around was taking place
right now. So in nine to noon, never is offended
if you can oh it is. Oh, it's not taking
place right now. It's like just oh, which means you're
missing all the cool interviews.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Okay, Okay, don't call me two words that start with
the the letters s F. Okay, and we'll move on.
We'll move on with the interview. So anyway, how San Antonio,
I hear the river walk can be quite enchanting this
time of the year.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
It was fun. Yeah, A bunch of reporters out here
we have to think on a mile, had some sections
last night. It was fun.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Do you think Io goes tonight?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Yeah, he didn't. That's official. They just they just announced
that he was out there participating in shoot around. So yeah, man,
they're back, They're loaded. Everybody, everybody but Dante. I mean,
I think Ants might be in a minute restriction again,
but uh yeah, it'd be pretty healthy.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Wow. That's sweet. Thanks for sharing that. Nine to noon.
All right, So now what happens with the with DJ
with Shannon Junior given Io returns, Like, what do you
think happens?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, it's kind of like a game series just went
out of So if antstill on a minutes restriction, he
probably still comes off the bench, right, because if you're
gonna limit him to twenty four to twenty five minutes,
it was just hard to start and play six minutes,
six minutes, six minutes. I don't know it's what Shannon's
been been doing. Maybe it's maybe Conley goes back to
(19:37):
the bench. I just think it important. There is a
small thing, but like for Connie to be able to play,
he needs to have somebody he can kind of hide
on defensively, So I think that was kind of the
idea by why he started at the end of the
Denver series. In the San Antonio series, they had a
shooter that you could just kind of plant Mike on.
So it's not a housing starts, right, It's about who
(19:59):
gets the minutes, the minutes overall, and they will play
that out as.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
The game is. Is Io Desumu a short timer here
due to potential contractual obligations.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 13 (20:14):
And I would imagine with the Dante injury, whatever small
percent chance there was of Io leaving in the off season,
because he is an unrestricted cre agent.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
I mean, Dante's not gonna play next year, so his
need becomes even even greater. So I would I would
expect Io to be back. It'll be interesting to see
how much money that is. I'm more than Nikil Alexander
Walker did four years sixty one. I think he might.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Uh Dane Moore elite basketball mind. Did it with Anthony Monday?
I mean, you're you're with the team, you're around the team.
I mean, you know, so then you're plugging in. Man,
So this might be a dumb question, but did it
surprise you Anthony played Monday and then how effective did
you think he was?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
No, it surprised me, man, it surprised everybody. It surprised
his teammates. It's surprised Wow, it surprised the front office.
It's everybody here. It was. I mean even in the
day leading up, he didn't get out on the floor
and like pull the shoot a basketball until Saturday, and
then he played on Monday. You know, I mean this was.
(21:26):
This is beyond the optimistic time table that I suck
to Mike Conley in the locker room, for example. He
did this. He did the same injury earlier in his career.
He said he could not bend his leg for two weeks,
let alone play. You know. I mean, there's something freaky
going on here with ant where I mean put in
the work, but crazy timeline to return.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Gobert said yesterday day he wishes he got the Wemby
treatment from the reps. What does he mean by that?
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Let me hear what it says. I mean, Rich was
not pleased with the lack of goaltending. UH called in
and I say, which is if you go back and
watch him, I mean it was they said there was four.
I went back and watch it. I mean I think
it was at least three that were that were not uh,
(22:16):
that were goldtends that were not called I think rests
are like confused by the way Victor block shots because
he's because he's so high, it gets confusing as the
fall on the white offer on the way down. But
they did miss a lot of those, and so Rudy
was Rudy was saying, you know, I wish I wish
they never called Goldtends on me too. They got it
set up with a laugh. But but uh, yeah, the
(22:39):
Wolves were very up and arms over the lack of
Goltends called good it.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Like that, what uh what mismatches does FINCHI create when
using Gobert, nas Reed and Julius Randall at the same time.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
I mean, it's what he says when we asked him
that is okay, now we can play our five best
players and and that's sounds really simplistic, but it's true.
I mean Nas is a starting caliber player, so you're
just especially with some of these injuries. I mean, Nazri
just has a lot more talent than Mike Conley now,
and you can basically what they'll do is they'll play
(23:15):
Nas at small forward, Jade McDaniels at shooting guard, and
then Anthony Edward. At that point, do you have this
huge lineup tons of athleticism and just talent out there
that thinks can now go to The reason they didn't
go to that during the season was because and I
asked Nas about it yesterday and I was just like,
I wasn't playing defense. The reason I can play small
(23:35):
forward in the playoffs because I'm playing defense. That's the
whole difference with this whole team. It's as a consistency
of defense, then they can get punky with lineup combinations
and they can cook as we're seeing, you know, it's
just about the requisite efforts to play defense at a
high level. They can do that. They're clearly a.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Different team to get Nor do I need to recalibrate
a little bit? Dane doesn't like my questions? Can you
ask one? Well, you know, back to Wemby though for
a second.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
One thing I was seeing kind of you know, just
echoed out on the social media sphere during game one
is you know, still learning how to officiate Wemby games.
When it comes to some of the physicality. How does
this guy block so many shots and defend the way
he does without fouling? You mentioned how tall he is,
just kind of the eye test of was it on
(24:23):
its way up?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Was it on its way down? Hey? Things hit the
freaking backboard.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Do you do you buy into any of that that
he's just so different that refs are still getting around
how to legislate his play.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
I think absolutely. I'll give you another example. Watch tonight
when Wemby takes a shot and it misses. The way
that it misses and the way it carems off of
the basket, it's different than other players. And if you
think about it, it's because he's shooting it from a
higher point than anybody has ever shot a ball from
in the league. He has just absolutely changed the geometry
(24:59):
of basketball, not just on defense, but offense too. It's
the combination of this size and length with speed. He's
so fast too. He's so fast to recover to a block,
he's quick to go up for a shot. It's really
it's just completely new. So, yes, we're all still learning.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
About what Wemby is now.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Well, one thing we were talking about it earlier on
in the show, but kind of the idea of one
way to affect Wemby's dominance on that side of the
court was going at him now the negative aspect of it.
Specifically early on you saw the blocks Terren Shannon Junior
a couple of times he got Rudy got a ton
of people.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
But but the.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Idea of when you're going at him in that way
and he is, he's racking up the statute with the blocks,
he's not getting there, we're getting offensive rebounds, we're getting
second chance opportunities. There's actually maybe a benefit to that
game plan. Is that Is that true in that regard
from your viewpoint? And is it repeatable?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Yeah? I think it is important to stay aggressive, but
I think you need to do it within reason, right
like that, don't just be aggressively like I'm barreling into
Victor Wembayama, he's gonna block that. It's about it's being
a strategic and decisive with it, right like swing, swing, Okay, now,
punch a gap and attack that. Wemby's on the other side.
Beat him there to the rim, But don't just challenge him.
(26:21):
I don't think it's something they should be they should
be doing, you know, all the time. I think there
was a play. Remember when Aunt hits the step back
three on Wemby at the end of the fourth quarter.
What happens right before that is Jaden attacks Wemby realizes
all right, it's one on one with Wemby and he
(26:41):
turns around, goes back out to the perimeter and hands
the bald ant Ant takes an Ant takes the step
back three on Wemby. That's smart. It doesn't look it
doesn't look normal. But Jayden was like, I don't have
a good opportunity to score on Wemby right here. I'm
going to give it to Aunt who could score on
him from the perimeterelligence. I think it's intelligence attacks with
(27:02):
what they what they need to be doing against Victor.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
All right, Dan, I'm back. Rewrote my final five questions.
I let Tim Sieglely from First Resource Bank write my
questions for you. I know you didn't like them, so
therefore we let Nordo in for two. And I'm back
in the game right now for a couple Uh how
do NBA officials handle a bevy of mistakes in a
single game? Do they get reprimanded.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
In an interview process? They are? They own great. It's
like stats like like PSS when they have that, they
have that for they have that for officials. By the way,
did you see who's associated the game tonight? Uh?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Is Scott Foster? Is it?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Well?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
See see you're you're on the nine to noon show
right now in some in some weird room in the
bowels of the arena. They're out there doing interviews. I'm
feeling bad right now because Chris Finch just guaranteed a
victory tonight and you you weren't. By Finn You started
laughing before me. See, that was another Tim Seagley question.
So I'm just gonna let order go again.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Fire Away with h with Terarren Shannon Jr. One thing
that I really liked in Game one, and I think
maybe this is just the evolution of the kid is
late in the game, it was there was a confidence
that speaking of that aggression, you were talking about the
smart and intelligent nature of it. He was dragging, whether
(28:28):
it was whether it was Castle, it was just.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Going you want to foul, you want to foul.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I think he drew three or four fouls within a
two minute stretch there, and and just kind of the
nature again, the intelligence of the aggression and the confidence
growing in Tarren Shannon Junior right before our eyes.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Yeah, it's really impressive. Man. The kid's been working on
the background the whole time. He's had a couple of
foot injuries in this two years that he's been here.
But I would just say, like physically from when he
was drafted to what he looks like now. I mean,
he was always a big kid, but he's been in
the gym constantly. They had to put in like provisions
(29:11):
on his keys. From the when he was allowed to
be in the uh in the facility working out, they
had kicked him off, literally kicked him out of the gym.
And I know that kind of sounds like a cliche
sort of thing of like, oh, of course they say that,
but it shows right, like are we not seeing a
more athletic version, a more forceful version of parents and
(29:31):
junior than we ever have before? I mean, the kids
been putting in the work and it is he's up
there is just as close to as athletic as Anthony is.
You know, it's he's a he's a force.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Uh Dane. Any dust ups with San Antonio Sports Radio
or Spurs Twitter yet.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Yes, yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna keep my mouth shut
this time.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I think, yeah, yeah, please do because somehow I caught
a stray in that thing and it was weird. I
don't want people blowing Vouvezela's in my ear again. Okay,
time for two more. Wemby said after Game one he
wasted too much energy on the wrong kind of offense.
How do you think they're going to use him tonight?
You and Ordo kind of went back and forth on
some stuff, so maybe you touched on it. But I
(30:16):
thought that was a telling quote from him. When he's like,
I use all my energy on the wrong kind of offense,
feels like he's saying he shot too many threes. What
do you think?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
I think, just in general, the Wolves playing hard in
their physicality was wearing them down during the game. I mean,
how many times did you see when but now I'm
on the floor just falling over and not pushed him
that one time, but he was down on the ground
a lot. They hit him, and I remember sitting next
to Brick during the first half. I was like, he's
gonna get tighter here. How did Victor's weakness and it
(30:50):
is clearly his number one weekness is stamo. I mean
he does not play I mean, doing the regular season,
he did, he played short stints in under thirty minutes
per game eight and the you know, Jayden played like
forty six in Game six against against them, so he
just struggles with the team in general, and if the Wolves,
(31:12):
you know, I think what he's talking about is, Okay,
Rudy's guarding me. That that's one way that's difficult to
score on because it's Ruey to go bear. And then
Julius Randall's guarding him for a period of time. Okay,
Juliet is so strong. I think the Wolves just physically
sort of at least leaned on him the whole time.
And yeah, what he only finds the eleven.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Point isn't isn't that somewhat the reverse?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I mean, you you deal with this, I'm sure myriad
times throughout the season, but kind of the idea, why
aren't we playing the kids.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
You're seeing heavy minutes.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
We're not a load management team, and it's going to
get his forty ish on a nightly basis. And meanwhile
they're saying we want to conserve Wemby as the early
calf issue last fall, and so he's playing what twenty seven,
twenty eight, twenty nine minutes a game, and so it's
kind of the reverse of Now in the postseason they
wanted him for that forty needed him. He takes the
A tra and those were all L's but it's kind
(32:02):
of the reverse of the philosophy of how you're preparing
yourselves for the postseason and the physicality of the Wolves.
That's maybe going to be a talker potentially thematic of
this series.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
The Wolves have depth. The Wolves have more depth than
almost any team right and and so what we're seeing
is if there guys do get in college trouble or
do you get tired, you can't bring in a Jalen
Clark tern Trannon Junior like that. But also the main
guys Julius played eighty games and Dante DiVincenzo played all
(32:34):
eighty two. Na has played pretty much the entirety of
the season, even through injuries. So I do think that
they have to build the stamina Jayden, for sure. I
think my biggest thing is however you define athleticism. I
think the Wolves have a lot of it, whether it's length,
whether it's steed, whether it's strength, whether it's stamina. I
think what we're learning in this in this postseason is
(32:56):
that you line up against the Wolves in a playoff
series and they're going to to be the more physically
imposing team. And that sounds crazy with the team who
as the seven to sixth guy in Manama, But I
think the Wolves are the more athletic teams.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
All right, last one here, Bud, Thanks for the time.
Dane Moore at Day More NBA. Listen to the podcasting.
They're fantastic. What what do you think of the sixth
Man of the Year race this year? Keldon Johnson, Tim
Hardaway Junior and himI Jaques. Seems like a low rated
race to me? What do you think?
Speaker 14 (33:28):
Yeah, well, and nos is the favorite for a while,
but you know, once he started getting bothered and I
didn't finish the season strong, I think it was He'll
probably look back at this year as like maieding some
money on the table in.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
Terms of getting his second sixth Man of the Year.
But yeah, you're right, a little a little bit more
watered down, just like clear role players. I would I
would keep your eye on Keldon Johnson in the series.
He was the most deserving of the group of winning
that award. And really, did you know when I watched
first games during the year, really did bring a lot.
He was really physically imposing when they played the Wolves
(34:03):
during the season. I think he's a Q Jacks factor
for for San Antonio tonight, especially when the Wolves do.
But with those big lineups, Johnson brings some more strength
for them. And he's a dog man, he's a fighter.
He'll mix it up a little bit. Obviously you saw
him and Hands get into it. But I got a
lot of respect for him as a player though.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Too, prett I've got a lot of respect for you,
as does all of nine to Noon. Appreciate you, dame.
Have a wonderful day. Thanks for the time, and we'll
talk soon.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Bye, yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Up to him. Oh no, not the song good Times. No,
it can't possibly mean it's the end of nine to Noon.
On k fan, Dan called the common Man in the
programmer next, so make sure you listen to that each

Speaker 5 (35:24):
Today's Paul Allen Shaw or listen back to previews, show
and interviews like
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Going to the iHeartRadio app or gfan dot com.
Don Hey, it's news Denord and it's brought to you
by the casino at Canterbury Parkcanterburypark dot Com feeling the
felt all day, every day at Canterbury Poker, blackjack and
(00:22):
table games, having SIPs at Chips.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Live Racing. What a Derby Day party it was.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
And now that kind of wets our palette for a
fun twenty twenty six live racing season at Canterbury Park
and you can get the details. I believe it starts
May twenty third, that would be Memorial Day weekend and
you can get all the days and plan your trips right.
We got Thursday afternoon posts, we got Saturday evening posts.
I know we're gonna have Family Day, which means face
(00:48):
painting and playground and cool stuff for the kids and
maybe some food trucks. The bits are endless at Canterbury,
so check it out. Check out the Minnesota Twins who
throttled the Natties yesterday. Eleven to three was the final
Buxton with a three to one shot. You're digging that
Taj Bradley just two runs allowed over the course of
six eight k's TODJ Bradley four and one. Loving that addition,
(01:12):
to the starting rotation. Loving the news by the way
coming out that there was no structural damage in an
MRI for Joe Ryan, and so good news on that front,
winning games and finding your way to keeping Joe Ryan
in the mix. Glad that he avoided any serious injuries,
at least in the short term. But it's Bailey Ober,
(01:33):
Bailey Ober, and Miles Michlis. That's going to be five
forty five pm local time this evening. Go Minnesota Twins,
the Minnesota Wild, The Buston's on fire, next he is
on fire.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I just had to let ab and know I was
in the studio, not jaking a segment, jaking a segment.
What's I guess I haven't heard jaking old school reference
to like take something off or give you know, like
the music you play on the show. Well, I'm jaking it.
Give well, that'd be a bet. No, it's it's it's terrible,
(02:07):
but you played perpetually played the same terrible songs over
and over and over and over and over.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Oh, totally right, I'm jaking it. Yeah, I guess jaking it.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
As that example would go, no, that makes sense, So
like me, jaking it would be taking off part of
News donor to fix my watch.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Canadians and Sabers tonight. Wild lose five to two last night,
but the playoffs continue this evening. Wild on a silver
platter last night the only NHL game in action. But
tonight you're gonna get two for the money. Six o'clock.
It's Canadians and Sabers. They kick off their series. So
Canadians fun young group to watch, Cawfield and everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And but I'm kind of rooting for Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Kind of look, you know, Tage Thompson, go crazy, Jason Zooker,
go crazy, Go Buffalo Sabers.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But Alex Tuck, Alex Tuck, another former Why Ducks and
Golden Knights.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Vegas took care of the Ducks in Game one, and
game two will be this evening.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
In the NHL.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
To the NBA side, it's going to be the Minnesota
Timberwolves at eight thirty pm this evening. Now, we were
going to cover the Wolves more Dane A eleven thirty five.
I wanted did you watch any of OKC and The
Lake Show missed it?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And then in the end, OKAC just kind of mows
them down. It's no Luca. A lot of conversation. They
do they are they more future focused post you know,
new ownership group in the mix.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, we want Luca back.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, we want to beat OKAC and extend ourselves in
the series and in the postseason, but we want to
make sure Luca is all good. So maybe we don't
put Luca back in the mix at this stage. But
the Lakers, it just feels like again the freight train
keeps coming out of Oklahoma City as they handle business,
and then Detroit beating Cleveland yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Lake show can have could have a healthy Luka Doncic
and a young James Worthy and still would not beat
this OKC bunch. No, it's too much.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And well, hopefully the Minnesota Timberwolves get a chance at
a rematch, if you will, but they got to handle
the Spurs first.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
That's news, Denord, it has brought to you.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Oh hey, I got actually one little nugget former Twin News.
It's not positive, So I don't know why this popped
in my head. At the very end here, Carlos Correa
sadly he suffered a torn tendon in his left ankle,
and I believe it was during like batting practice yet
taking swings in the batting cage before Tuesday's game against
the Dodgers. He's done for the year and it's going
(04:38):
to require six to eight months of recovery time.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So awful news for Carlos.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And I know it didn't end here positively, but I
love Carlos Korea's game. It's better when he's healthy and
on the field making plays. So tough news there in
the baseball world. So jaking it. The origin stems from
the early nineteen hundreds at a baseball play player named
Garland Jake Stall. Okay, I didn't know, Russo Radio wrote
(05:05):
in the early nineteen hundreds. The most common theory is
that he refused to play in a game due to
a foot injury. Thereafter, other players and sports writers would
say he's jaking it when referring to a player who
was loafing or using an injury.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
To stay out of the lineup. Okay, so I got
to the Winter circle, but I didn't know how I
got to the Winter circle. But that's all that matters,
is getting to the Winter circle. So that's that's the
origin of jaking it. Hey, don't jake it on these talkbacks,
all right. It can be what was wild or what
will be Timberwolves tonight talkbacks free iHeartRadio app up to
(05:49):
thirty seconds. Make k fan your preset. It's eleven fifteen
and we're going to run some talkbacks for a little bit.
Next segment walking up to Dane more elite basketball mind
at eleven third thirty five. But here comes the con
with the cash.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
The fanom big deck dot com. They want to give
you a shot to win some bonus bucks with the
National Cash Contest. This hour's keyword is coin and you
might win some with the keyword coin. Entering at kfe
in dot com.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Good hit on Hughes, but the hit McKinnon put on
Boldy that was dirty. Should have been a boarding penalty,
and then Boldy he got sucker punts there. One way
to beat him is to get the rest to call
the correct penalties. And you gotta stop letting soft goals.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Galton's it'll be better.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Those two things.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Minnesota can still win.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Talkbacks. Nordal respond to the talkbacks plae.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Sorry, boys, but my eyes don't lie. Colorado is just
a better team. You guys can want to make back
in the Little Rocks. But uh got clipped on by
the program director hard.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
For your boys.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Sorry, my eyes don't lie, though.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Has no doubt your eyes don't lie. You're seeing everything clearly. Talkbacks, please?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
What up?
Speaker 7 (07:42):
What up?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Nordal?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Good Morning's Charles from Saint Paul.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
When the Wild come back to Saint Paul, Minnesota to
take game three, Game four, and we'll close it out in.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
Game six, let's go, I mean, let's go Wild, let's go, yeah, Charles.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
If we had a twenty five dollars Northern Fire gift card,
I mean I would, and I don't even endorse Northern Fire.
I would demand that you win it. But you didn't, Charles.
I don't even know you, Charles in the Capital City.
I mean, how much? How much do you really really
believe that in your heart? Because I mean you weren't
(08:30):
preaching it, you were just just kind of talking it.
So you got on nine to noon, you use the
talkback machine. You got our version to work of the punt.
Don dun dun don don don dum bottle it up
to dast up to l Charles, though well probably goes
(08:56):
without saying. But I'm not saying anyway.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
I don't like you one second here, all right, you're
asking how we win?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, here's how we win.
Speaker 9 (09:07):
At this point in the series, I think we can
confidently say that we cannot keep up offensively with Colorado's
high flying, super.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Quick physicult sunsets in the last what's next game?
Speaker 9 (09:25):
We need to sit back, play some defense and wait
for them to make mistakes and hope for the best.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
There you go, Oh yeah, I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And those mistakes presented themselves in Game one, whether it
was the Shorty, I mean some of the awful. I mean,
it's hard to say that the best team in the NHL,
but what a hideous mass and a moment for McKinnon
as he just that turnover in the offensive zone that
sent Moose flying for the Shorty. Like they are not
perfect by any stretch despite being the best team in
(09:56):
the NHL.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Is they have I believe proven to be. If I'm
Anaheim or Vegas copyright sauce, I'm ssing my bees as
in my breezers what play hooky kind of looked like
Gus was doing that a little bit last night. Pay
The way to beat the Ads is simple. We need
(10:17):
to ec back, and we need elite goaltending.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
And we all know the only goalie we have that
can be elite.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Let's go wild. Yeah, Nine to Noon has not really
ventured down the risky move that was made by the
head coach into game number two by using Gustavson beloved
Gus Buss. I think in part because I got a
little loud yesterday saying the right move was to use bus.
(10:46):
It's time to drop. So that's that's generally speaking, why
the topic hasn't emerged too much.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well, I hate I hate the hypothetical of it, so
I was fine with them sticking with Wally.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
We had talked about it.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's like, you know, just nine just don't let them
sit on that, like, get them back in there.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And that's that's a take.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
The other end of it is, if not now when
it was the perfect spot, kids played seven games in
a row, I think for the first time in his career,
like this stuff matters. Maybe the kid needs a breath
and come back on Saturday. But the hypothetical of it
then is, I mean, he gives up two goals on
the first two freaking shots, and I just I'm still
the second goal.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Lundkuvivisit or or Patrick Waugh or Ken Dryden aren't stopping.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
But I know what you mean, Yeah, that was the
Landiskog powers. I think h McKinnon pass was the ball. Yeah,
they're high end. But but to that end, the hypothetical
is if he doesn't give up that first goal to Nietzsches,
does that potentially change the frame of the game. And
I just don't want to because they're not breaking a sweat. No,
they're not being forced to do anything. The Avs get
(11:54):
up three zero, then we get up by four. They're
not breaking a sweat. It's it's copyright common. It's duckies
and bunnies. It's yeah, it's rainbow rainbows and toy toy
ponies and where's the beef? And what are you looking at, Beetle.
I mean, they're they're not breaking a sweat, not at all.
(12:16):
So first game they're not breaking a sweat, just distributing
or delivering the alacrity up and down the ice and
the dipsy doodles and the spins and the saucer passes
and fifteen drop passes that were the bomb.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
They were showing off. Second game, just when you think, hey,
all right, you ain't gonna show off like that. We're
gonna we're gonna button things up, or actually that would
be tighten things down. Oh, yes, we're going to tighten
things down as we batten down the hatches and and
we're not gonna let you do stuff like that. And
they're like, cool, we'll just beat you up the entire game.
(12:55):
So then they go to this physical style. I mean,
actually saw Natchure hit somebody, Landeskogg hits everybody. McKinnon got
so frustrated with Hughsey that he's like, here's the deal.
We're up two goals. I know you're gonna stop and
do this little spin thing and I'm just gonna whoop
your butt and I'm gonna knock you right down on
the ice. It's I'm sure you know you could be
(13:18):
like like, hey, players have scored more than McKinnon scored
in the game, or had more points or whatever. When
I said atop the show, now, I'm not watching as
much hockey as the state of hockey. Like like like
I said when they traded for Quinn Hughes, I ain't
trying to pretend like I have the center ice package
watching Vancouver Canucks hockey, trying to figure out which Elieus
(13:41):
Patterson Peterson is the right one at ten fifteen a night.
The Sabine Twins still play for him. So I knew
Hughsey was good, but I had no idea that I
watching Matt and A at Buffalo right after I got here,
and I'm like, are you kidding me with this? Holy
Kallas Allen iverson on skates. So everybody knows all that
kind of stuff. But when I say McKinnon, for my taste,
(14:04):
played one of the most dominating best hockey games I
can recall a player playing, it's because you're watching somebody
that size skate like Hughsy bust you up like I
don't know Jacob Truba and just continue to give and
give and make all the right decisions. And yes, I know, hey, hey, yeah,
(14:27):
I know he's best in show. Okay, it's the whole thing,
isn't it. But it's not always on display. It was
on display last night.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, well, I'll probably go to that saying, but I'm
not saying anyway.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I don't like.
Speaker 10 (14:38):
You guys just from Greenfield. I called in about a
month ago when Mick Tackett called Nordo something like Nordo Gordo.
Now I hear SQUI I can't help myself I've got
to repeat what I did back then.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Don't do it. He ain't heavy. He's my producer the
day Bud ain't heavy. He's our punch. And on the
forest downs were we go.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
We gotta be in fan on the farm season here
pretty quick. I wonder if that was a combine run
or not a comp was a planting season.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I'm going to hold back on any jokes, comments or
critiques of that last talkback because I don't want somebody
to blow a vouve of zella in my ear for
the next six hours. And the hand fed is going
on with you, guys.
Speaker 11 (15:34):
Apa, Nord Squish Brad here, it's currently pitching.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
A tent down in North Now. It's a bit band wagon.
Speaker 11 (15:40):
Wolves fan here.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Old we stepped on it, Nord Squishy, we stepped on
it close.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Well.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
The thing is you don't care about being squishy, no,
so that that's what makes it, That's what makes it good. No,
I'm not offended by it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I know if I didn't want to be squishy, I
would There are things I could do to not be squishy.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
No doubt. You choose to be squishy, which I have
a lot of admiration for.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
I'm jaking it as it predates to physical fitness. I'm
jaking it, but you don't care, which makes it fine.
All right, brad here, do it again?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Do it again?
Speaker 11 (16:14):
Okay, Apa nord squish brad here currently pitching a tent
down in Northfield vand Wagon Wolves fan here only put
them on during the playoff time.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
No apologies for that quick question.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
Is Rudy Gobert always that frustrating to watch on the
offensive side of the ball? I get he's super talented,
really big French guy, but I don't think I saw
him catch a clean pass from a teammate the entire night.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Thank you personal wow clipping. I mean that whole thing
was a verbal clipping penalty. I loved it. I loved it.
Wow Man, I don't know, Man, I got a scowl.
So all right, we're gonna pause. Yeah, when we return
the Great Dane Moore, well he yeah, no pitch attack Oaks,
(17:00):
no more squishy, no more fat person in your window stuff,
move a Zella's out of my ear back. After that,
I can't wait.
Speaker 12 (17:11):
I can't wait until themorrow go tomorrow mine very well
be truly, I can't wait. I can't wait until tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
At Danemore NBA. The Day More NBA podcast is the bombing.
He souper gracious and cool for doing this for us, Dane.
It's Paul Allen. I just looked at at Danemore NBA.
Are you actually at Timberwolf shoot around right now?
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I am. I am in some room that had a
closed door that I could take this.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Okay, Okay, well I want to I mean yeah, I
want to apologize. I don't want to pull from shoot around. Man,
I had no idea the shoot around was taking place
right now. So in nine to noon, never is offended
if you can oh it is. Oh, it's not taking
place right now. It's like just oh, which means you're
missing all the cool interviews.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Okay, Okay, don't call me two words that start with
the the letters s F. Okay, and we'll move on.
We'll move on with the interview. So anyway, how San Antonio,
I hear the river walk can be quite enchanting this
time of the year.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
It was fun. Yeah, A bunch of reporters out here
we have to think on a mile, had some sections
last night. It was fun.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Do you think Io goes tonight?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Yeah, he didn't. That's official. They just they just announced
that he was out there participating in shoot around. So yeah, man,
they're back, They're loaded. Everybody, everybody but Dante. I mean,
I think Ants might be in a minute restriction again,
but uh yeah, it'd be pretty healthy.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Wow. That's sweet. Thanks for sharing that. Nine to noon.
All right, So now what happens with the with DJ
with Shannon Junior given Io returns, Like, what do you
think happens?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, it's kind of like a game series just went
out of So if antstill on a minutes restriction, he
probably still comes off the bench, right, because if you're
gonna limit him to twenty four to twenty five minutes,
it was just hard to start and play six minutes,
six minutes, six minutes. I don't know it's what Shannon's
been been doing. Maybe it's maybe Conley goes back to
(19:37):
the bench. I just think it important. There is a
small thing, but like for Connie to be able to play,
he needs to have somebody he can kind of hide
on defensively, So I think that was kind of the
idea by why he started at the end of the
Denver series. In the San Antonio series, they had a
shooter that you could just kind of plant Mike on.
So it's not a housing starts, right, It's about who
(19:59):
gets the minutes, the minutes overall, and they will play
that out as.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
The game is. Is Io Desumu a short timer here
due to potential contractual obligations.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 13 (20:14):
And I would imagine with the Dante injury, whatever small
percent chance there was of Io leaving in the off season,
because he is an unrestricted cre agent.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
I mean, Dante's not gonna play next year, so his
need becomes even even greater. So I would I would
expect Io to be back. It'll be interesting to see
how much money that is. I'm more than Nikil Alexander
Walker did four years sixty one. I think he might.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Uh Dane Moore elite basketball mind. Did it with Anthony Monday?
I mean, you're you're with the team, you're around the team.
I mean, you know, so then you're plugging in. Man,
So this might be a dumb question, but did it
surprise you Anthony played Monday and then how effective did
you think he was?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
No, it surprised me, man, it surprised everybody. It surprised
his teammates. It's surprised Wow, it surprised the front office.
It's everybody here. It was. I mean even in the
day leading up, he didn't get out on the floor
and like pull the shoot a basketball until Saturday, and
then he played on Monday. You know, I mean this was.
(21:26):
This is beyond the optimistic time table that I suck
to Mike Conley in the locker room, for example. He
did this. He did the same injury earlier in his career.
He said he could not bend his leg for two weeks,
let alone play. You know. I mean, there's something freaky
going on here with ant where I mean put in
the work, but crazy timeline to return.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Gobert said yesterday day he wishes he got the Wemby
treatment from the reps. What does he mean by that?
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Let me hear what it says. I mean, Rich was
not pleased with the lack of goaltending. UH called in
and I say, which is if you go back and
watch him, I mean it was they said there was four.
I went back and watch it. I mean I think
it was at least three that were that were not uh,
(22:16):
that were goldtends that were not called I think rests
are like confused by the way Victor block shots because
he's because he's so high, it gets confusing as the
fall on the white offer on the way down. But
they did miss a lot of those, and so Rudy
was Rudy was saying, you know, I wish I wish
they never called Goldtends on me too. They got it
set up with a laugh. But but uh, yeah, the
(22:39):
Wolves were very up and arms over the lack of
Goltends called good it.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Like that, what uh what mismatches does FINCHI create when
using Gobert, nas Reed and Julius Randall at the same time.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
I mean, it's what he says when we asked him
that is okay, now we can play our five best
players and and that's sounds really simplistic, but it's true.
I mean Nas is a starting caliber player, so you're
just especially with some of these injuries. I mean, Nazri
just has a lot more talent than Mike Conley now,
and you can basically what they'll do is they'll play
(23:15):
Nas at small forward, Jade McDaniels at shooting guard, and
then Anthony Edward. At that point, do you have this
huge lineup tons of athleticism and just talent out there
that thinks can now go to The reason they didn't
go to that during the season was because and I
asked Nas about it yesterday and I was just like,
I wasn't playing defense. The reason I can play small
(23:35):
forward in the playoffs because I'm playing defense. That's the
whole difference with this whole team. It's as a consistency
of defense, then they can get punky with lineup combinations
and they can cook as we're seeing, you know, it's
just about the requisite efforts to play defense at a
high level. They can do that. They're clearly a.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Different team to get Nor do I need to recalibrate
a little bit? Dane doesn't like my questions? Can you
ask one? Well, you know, back to Wemby though for
a second.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
One thing I was seeing kind of you know, just
echoed out on the social media sphere during game one
is you know, still learning how to officiate Wemby games.
When it comes to some of the physicality. How does
this guy block so many shots and defend the way
he does without fouling? You mentioned how tall he is,
just kind of the eye test of was it on
(24:23):
its way up?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Was it on its way down? Hey? Things hit the
freaking backboard.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Do you do you buy into any of that that
he's just so different that refs are still getting around
how to legislate his play.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
I think absolutely. I'll give you another example. Watch tonight
when Wemby takes a shot and it misses. The way
that it misses and the way it carems off of
the basket, it's different than other players. And if you
think about it, it's because he's shooting it from a
higher point than anybody has ever shot a ball from
in the league. He has just absolutely changed the geometry
(24:59):
of basketball, not just on defense, but offense too. It's
the combination of this size and length with speed. He's
so fast too. He's so fast to recover to a block,
he's quick to go up for a shot. It's really
it's just completely new. So, yes, we're all still learning.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
About what Wemby is now.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Well, one thing we were talking about it earlier on
in the show, but kind of the idea of one
way to affect Wemby's dominance on that side of the
court was going at him now the negative aspect of it.
Specifically early on you saw the blocks Terren Shannon Junior
a couple of times he got Rudy got a ton
of people.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
But but the.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Idea of when you're going at him in that way
and he is, he's racking up the statute with the blocks,
he's not getting there, we're getting offensive rebounds, we're getting
second chance opportunities. There's actually maybe a benefit to that
game plan. Is that Is that true in that regard
from your viewpoint? And is it repeatable?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Yeah? I think it is important to stay aggressive, but
I think you need to do it within reason, right
like that, don't just be aggressively like I'm barreling into
Victor Wembayama, he's gonna block that. It's about it's being
a strategic and decisive with it, right like swing, swing, Okay, now,
punch a gap and attack that. Wemby's on the other side.
Beat him there to the rim, But don't just challenge him.
(26:21):
I don't think it's something they should be they should
be doing, you know, all the time. I think there
was a play. Remember when Aunt hits the step back
three on Wemby at the end of the fourth quarter.
What happens right before that is Jaden attacks Wemby realizes
all right, it's one on one with Wemby and he
(26:41):
turns around, goes back out to the perimeter and hands
the bald ant Ant takes an Ant takes the step
back three on Wemby. That's smart. It doesn't look it
doesn't look normal. But Jayden was like, I don't have
a good opportunity to score on Wemby right here. I'm
going to give it to Aunt who could score on
him from the perimeterelligence. I think it's intelligence attacks with
(27:02):
what they what they need to be doing against Victor.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
All right, Dan, I'm back. Rewrote my final five questions.
I let Tim Sieglely from First Resource Bank write my
questions for you. I know you didn't like them, so
therefore we let Nordo in for two. And I'm back
in the game right now for a couple Uh how
do NBA officials handle a bevy of mistakes in a
single game? Do they get reprimanded.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
In an interview process? They are? They own great. It's
like stats like like PSS when they have that, they
have that for they have that for officials. By the way,
did you see who's associated the game tonight? Uh?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Is Scott Foster? Is it?
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Well?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
See see you're you're on the nine to noon show
right now in some in some weird room in the
bowels of the arena. They're out there doing interviews. I'm
feeling bad right now because Chris Finch just guaranteed a
victory tonight and you you weren't. By Finn You started
laughing before me. See, that was another Tim Seagley question.
So I'm just gonna let order go again.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Fire Away with h with Terarren Shannon Jr. One thing
that I really liked in Game one, and I think
maybe this is just the evolution of the kid is
late in the game, it was there was a confidence
that speaking of that aggression, you were talking about the
smart and intelligent nature of it. He was dragging, whether
(28:28):
it was whether it was Castle, it was just.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Going you want to foul, you want to foul.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I think he drew three or four fouls within a
two minute stretch there, and and just kind of the
nature again, the intelligence of the aggression and the confidence
growing in Tarren Shannon Junior right before our eyes.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Yeah, it's really impressive. Man. The kid's been working on
the background the whole time. He's had a couple of
foot injuries in this two years that he's been here.
But I would just say, like physically from when he
was drafted to what he looks like now. I mean,
he was always a big kid, but he's been in
the gym constantly. They had to put in like provisions
(29:11):
on his keys. From the when he was allowed to
be in the uh in the facility working out, they
had kicked him off, literally kicked him out of the gym.
And I know that kind of sounds like a cliche
sort of thing of like, oh, of course they say that,
but it shows right, like are we not seeing a
more athletic version, a more forceful version of parents and
(29:31):
junior than we ever have before? I mean, the kids
been putting in the work and it is he's up
there is just as close to as athletic as Anthony is.
You know, it's he's a he's a force.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Uh Dane. Any dust ups with San Antonio Sports Radio
or Spurs Twitter yet.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Yes, yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna keep my mouth shut
this time.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I think, yeah, yeah, please do because somehow I caught
a stray in that thing and it was weird. I
don't want people blowing Vouvezela's in my ear again. Okay,
time for two more. Wemby said after Game one he
wasted too much energy on the wrong kind of offense.
How do you think they're going to use him tonight?
You and Ordo kind of went back and forth on
some stuff, so maybe you touched on it. But I
(30:16):
thought that was a telling quote from him. When he's like,
I use all my energy on the wrong kind of offense,
feels like he's saying he shot too many threes. What
do you think?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
I think, just in general, the Wolves playing hard in
their physicality was wearing them down during the game. I mean,
how many times did you see when but now I'm
on the floor just falling over and not pushed him
that one time, but he was down on the ground
a lot. They hit him, and I remember sitting next
to Brick during the first half. I was like, he's
gonna get tighter here. How did Victor's weakness and it
(30:50):
is clearly his number one weekness is stamo. I mean
he does not play I mean, doing the regular season,
he did, he played short stints in under thirty minutes
per game eight and the you know, Jayden played like
forty six in Game six against against them, so he
just struggles with the team in general, and if the Wolves,
(31:12):
you know, I think what he's talking about is, Okay,
Rudy's guarding me. That that's one way that's difficult to
score on because it's Ruey to go bear. And then
Julius Randall's guarding him for a period of time. Okay,
Juliet is so strong. I think the Wolves just physically
sort of at least leaned on him the whole time.
And yeah, what he only finds the eleven.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Point isn't isn't that somewhat the reverse?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I mean, you you deal with this, I'm sure myriad
times throughout the season, but kind of the idea, why
aren't we playing the kids.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
You're seeing heavy minutes.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
We're not a load management team, and it's going to
get his forty ish on a nightly basis. And meanwhile
they're saying we want to conserve Wemby as the early
calf issue last fall, and so he's playing what twenty seven,
twenty eight, twenty nine minutes a game, and so it's
kind of the reverse of Now in the postseason they
wanted him for that forty needed him. He takes the
A tra and those were all L's but it's kind
(32:02):
of the reverse of the philosophy of how you're preparing
yourselves for the postseason and the physicality of the Wolves.
That's maybe going to be a talker potentially thematic of
this series.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
The Wolves have depth. The Wolves have more depth than
almost any team right and and so what we're seeing
is if there guys do get in college trouble or
do you get tired, you can't bring in a Jalen
Clark tern Trannon Junior like that. But also the main
guys Julius played eighty games and Dante DiVincenzo played all
(32:34):
eighty two. Na has played pretty much the entirety of
the season, even through injuries. So I do think that
they have to build the stamina Jayden, for sure. I
think my biggest thing is however you define athleticism. I
think the Wolves have a lot of it, whether it's length,
whether it's steed, whether it's strength, whether it's stamina. I
think what we're learning in this in this postseason is
(32:56):
that you line up against the Wolves in a playoff
series and they're going to to be the more physically
imposing team. And that sounds crazy with the team who
as the seven to sixth guy in Manama, But I
think the Wolves are the more athletic teams.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
All right, last one here, Bud, Thanks for the time.
Dane Moore at Day More NBA. Listen to the podcasting.
They're fantastic. What what do you think of the sixth
Man of the Year race this year? Keldon Johnson, Tim
Hardaway Junior and himI Jaques. Seems like a low rated
race to me? What do you think?
Speaker 14 (33:28):
Yeah, well, and nos is the favorite for a while,
but you know, once he started getting bothered and I
didn't finish the season strong, I think it was He'll
probably look back at this year as like maieding some
money on the table in.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
Terms of getting his second sixth Man of the Year.
But yeah, you're right, a little a little bit more
watered down, just like clear role players. I would I
would keep your eye on Keldon Johnson in the series.
He was the most deserving of the group of winning
that award. And really, did you know when I watched
first games during the year, really did bring a lot.
He was really physically imposing when they played the Wolves
(34:03):
during the season. I think he's a Q Jacks factor
for for San Antonio tonight, especially when the Wolves do.
But with those big lineups, Johnson brings some more strength
for them. And he's a dog man, he's a fighter.
He'll mix it up a little bit. Obviously you saw
him and Hands get into it. But I got a
lot of respect for him as a player though.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Too, prett I've got a lot of respect for you,
as does all of nine to Noon. Appreciate you, dame.
