Stead common band, common band,don't show people solid plan say learn begins
the secarit approach will failter It's timefor common man, common man, common
then charge house? What's that?No one can? What shoot? Where

(00:23):
we play? Nice announces I'm dettoday, during man, It's time for
common man. Why should anybody aspireto be a common man? An average
man? Do you realize what itmeans to be average? That means you're
the best of the lousiest and thelousiest of the best. Now, if

(00:43):
we demand more and more for producingless and less while they have not,
nations encourage and inspire, and indeedrequire hard work and maximum effort. If
we deify the common man while theyencourage and reward the uncommon ones, while
the andres have such a lopsided raceas that is too obvious to require elaboration,
it's hives again, doll. It'ssort of that aggravated vikings anticipatory.

(01:15):
Yeah, you know, but Ithink it's more wolves just replaced the viewer.
If you would have told me yesterday, at this time tennaby that we
would have already gone to the thethe Dido card already, I would have
said, well, come on,We're not going to lose that first game
at home, come off of thrillinggame seven victory over the defending NBA champion
Dallas Denver Nuggs. But here weare, ye, yeah, there is

(01:38):
that. Well let's say let's setdark stars it. Well that's that.
There is that, and it's we'redown one game none. Yeah, there
are I like this one says youjumped the gun on this montage game four
loss. Sure, but maybe notnow you could make that argument, but

(02:02):
you know what, desperate times calledfor desperate measures, And I think going
to the dido card right now isbig. I you know what I like
to do tennabee, you know,I. You know, you watch a
game and then you want to kindof get a feel for you want to
take a temperature of the fan baseright kind of you know, sure,

(02:23):
where are they right now? Soyou take a look at message boards Brad
Sjohn, Brian Kafan, text linebooth at cafe, and dot com common
at cafe and dot com Twitter,whatever, you kind of get a feel
for it. I like here atthe radio station, it's BCM, Ben
Clayton and Matt three young up andcoming sales guys. Here at the radio

(02:47):
station all in there. They're allgot to be mid to late twenties,
right, sure, young kids,they're hip now with it, while fresh
faced big fans they love sports.Sports, Sports is your whole life,
just sports. And you know they'rethey're Homers, They're they're Minnesota fans.
You know. Uh tried in truth, thick and thin, good times,
bad times, as led Zeppelin whensing sang Sun So I came in and

(03:12):
I tried to set the hook.I go, boy, but you guys
are panicking now, no panic here, just game one, no big deal.
And they they stuck to their guns. I tried to I tried to
plant that seat of doubt that didyou watch that game last night? And
then they came back, Well didyou watch it to the very end?
And I said, well I did, and I did see something different there

(03:34):
from that Dallas team than I sawfrom Denver or Phoenix. That doesn't say
the Wolves can't get back. Andlook we did it before. We were
down three games to two, lostthree games in a row, and we
rallied back to beat the Denver Nuggets. But and again it's you know,
small sample sizes. Things can change, and hurry that Dallas team looks awfully
good, and I think yesterday II kind of left a little embarrassed and

(04:00):
a little ashamed when I said Ikind of agreed was to go to that
Kyrie. He's got the edge onon the point guard position barely, but
he does. I think most peopledisagreed with me, and I'm oneder where
people think of Kyrie now. Hewas simply brilliant last night especially, and
Kenny continued to do that. Idon't know. I mean, part of

(04:21):
it, he admitted, was theinspiration. At halftime, Chuck kept saying
they poked the bear. They pokedthe bear because if you remember after game
seven, I guess once. Iguess he said it twice. I only
heard it the one time they askedAunt about the upcoming match. Be goes
I got Kyrie, and I didn'tthink he said it in a way like,
oh, I got Kyrie, youwatched me. I'll shut him down

(04:42):
as this more I got Kyrie.But I think that's it was funny the
way they brought Kyrie. Did youwatch when Kyrie came up after the game,
So they bring Kyrie up there andthey asked, now, you're just
at home with your family, Mineand your own business, and then they
have some young kid calling you outand he goes, yeah, I was
that home kind of mind in myown busines. My family and I heard
that, and you know, theyhad some some stats where Kyrie has so

(05:08):
far this season. I don't thinkit was just the playoffs. I think
it's just been kind of his mothroughout the entire year. He gets off
to a slow start, he doesn'the doesn't score a lot in the in
the at least in the first scoreto the first half that it's usually later
in the game. Yesterday, hecame out like a house huh fire twenty
four points eleven or fourteen in thefirst half, and Aunt had no answer

(05:30):
for him. He couldn't guard him. Nobody could guard him. You mom,
Aunt couldn't guard him. Cat couldn'tguard him. McDaniel couldn't guard him.
Your mama couldn't stop him, Yourdaddy couldn't stop him. The police
couldn't stop him. And that's thefirst time I've ever watched the Don chicch
character for an entire game. He'sgot everything, man, He's he's got

(05:50):
size, he can shoot, hecan play a little defense, he can
rebound, he can find open eyes. That's that's a really good passer.
That's that's a pretty good one twoposts. You know, he's a different
position. He does remind you alittle bit of Jokic in terms of the
way he can shoot and make baskets, but also set up his teammates.

(06:11):
Just great vision. Well the great, the legendary Mark Rose and told us
that I scoffed at it, andso did many others, But well,
Mark understands the game tennete. Youknow that. That's why he's a legend.
That's why he's in the Hall ofFame. Fifty year career per portrating
a fraud. I'm listening and viewingpublic, but yeah, you know,
they're one two is much better thanour one two. Our one two struggled,

(06:32):
and I mean he was just shyof a triple double. But you
know, the expectations with Ant,particularly with the way he's been playing this
season and in you know, it'sfunny in postseason. He's had a couple
of games where he's been held incheck by the opposition. Denver did it,
I think a couple of games.But he also had a couple of
games where he went off like gamewas game six to forty four point game,

(06:55):
where he said he had a coupleof those a career in a career
in franchise record in postseason forty fourpoints, and he had another forty point
game. But he also has somegames like keeping last night. You look
at his numbers nineteen, eleven andnine. You know, eleven boards and
nine assistals are really good numbers.But they obviously here's for me, what

(07:15):
I'm what you know. And again, things can change in every game,
and I'm certainly not panic at thispoint. But that just felt different with
Dallas, even though it was aclose game, it just felt different the
way Dallas played. But I willsay this because here's the one thing.
The Wolves took forty nine three pointshots. Denver only took twenty five.
They Wolves made eighteen and Dallas onlymade six, and yet they still won

(07:39):
by three points. Now, youwould the comeback to that would be,
well, the Wolves will do betteron three point shooting. I wonder Denver
can or Dallas can it It wasit is only one game that I but
the home court advantages is gone nowand they're gonna have to figure out something
to get aunt loose. And they'regonna have to try to and I don't
know if Kyrie can do that gameafter game, but that is that after

(08:00):
he's a Hall of Famer as weknow, and that veteran savvy being able
to be able to will his wayto the he's just he's shifted, he's
craft. He's really good. Soit was a good game. One.
We love adversity here on the CommonMan program. It's only one game that

(09:26):
and they went on a losing straight. They had it shipped to Washington,
to the nation's capital. They wona couple of games there and they
credit the Winter Schnitzel. Buxton apparentlysaid he wasn't convinced there was anything to
it. Then he touched the winterSchnitzel and hit two home runs. He's
all in. Ranball wrote about it, and he basically said, well,

(09:48):
that's superstititions, but if you believeit, it's real. Well no,
not no, I don't believe thata piece of sausage will make the team
play better or worse. But maybehe does. Ask who am I to
say, I guess if you're convincedof something, if we call it mind
over matter, I've done it.I've told you my psilocybin mushroom sauna story

(10:13):
on a couple of vacasions, includingvery recently. But so they had it
shipped to them. The Wolves didnot leave the excuse computer in Denver.
They had it last night and saidwe were flat. The old came out
flat. My legs are tired,and it's like, okay, you know
they had one more day rest thanDallas. Right, did Dallas wrap up

(10:33):
on Saturday or did they wrap upon Sunday as well when they went in
Game six? Yeah, but didthey wrap up on Saturday later? So
it's Saturday, it means you hadMonday Tuesday. It's two days hot tubs,
cold tubs, massage therapists. Twomore expensive, but well worth it.

(10:56):
So I don't buy the especially whenyou're twenty two. I didn't really
like the excuse make and just saywe got we got beat. They did
some things we didn't expect. Wedidn't play as well, didn't make some
shots. I didn't take it tothe basket. Because An's been good at
that. An's been good at shoulderingblame. He's accepted the blame for losses
before basically said that remember was itgame? Was the game to the Denver

(11:20):
series? After that he said,that's on me. I think that was
the game. He said that wasNo, we won the first two.
It was the second or third,third, or fourth game where he said
that one's on me. That's myfault, and then I will play better
and he did. Matter of fact, maybe it was after the fifth game
and they ended up winning sixth.Regardless, he's taken blame. And there
was like it was like I'm justgoing to pass the buck. I was

(11:41):
tired and we can't How do youcome out We've had this debate before.
You can't come out flat at homeWestern Conference Finals game one? How are
you flat? I don't. Well, the team had many moments where they
were leading in the game. Yeah, that's sound like ran out of the
building known. As a matter offact, it they led most of the
way, it felt like, andyou know, Dallas made that run and

(12:03):
took a big lead. Then wecountered with our run and we took the
lead. And it was kind ofweird how they lost that game. It
it looked to me like I wasconvinced they were going to win that game.
And then a couple of weird possessionsand sequences between the two clubs,
and the next thing, you know, it's it's it's Dallas. When when

(12:24):
they still had a chance, oneConley got fouled on shooting a three pointer,
and all he's got to do ismake the first two and then if
he misses the third, you tryto do the tip back that he missed
the second, and that was it. And then there was a horrible inbounds
pass that Connolly could have picked offalmost before that foul. So there was
some there was something even when hedidn't get it. He should have followed

(12:45):
that guy, Kyrie. That's exactlyright, that's exactly right. That's a
good point. So there were somejust odd moments. There were looked like
they were going to they were tosteal it back from Dallas, and they
weren't able to. This test messagesays the Wolves were up sixteen and eight

(13:05):
at the six minute mark at thefirst quarter, where they flat. Then
they started hot, not flat,and that's it. That's that's where Ant
I think is reached. And he'sprobably heard many people to say, oh,
we were just flat, we werejust flat. We We've heard him
before to go for locker room andin football and many other places. Here's
one. It says Cat and Antgo twelve for thirty six. The two
best scores miss twenty four shots andthe ose by three. It seems like

(13:26):
the Timberwl should be able to turnthis around. You can make that argument,
and that's what you hang your haton. I can say that,
but you're also not going to getthat shooting effort out of Jade McDaniels every
time, Right like there's positives.You're not going to get that out of
Kylee Anderson again, right like?That is that's correct. So you can't
just oh, we replace the negativeswith the positives. Well, the positives
might regress as well. Yeah,and not just that. You know,
I don't know if Dallas is notmuch of a three point shooting team to

(13:50):
begin with. Are they on thelower end, because as we mentioned they
the Wolves took nearly twice as manythree point shots its forty nine twenty five,
They made eighteen compared to six,and you still lost the game.
See, that would be the negativeI've turned around. You could say,
well, they won't miss that manynext time. You could be right,
you know. I said to beto BCM, Ben Clayton and matth I

(14:15):
said, yeah, I'm not suggestingthat the Wolves, can't you know they
were They seem to be almost convinced. Oh no, because look what we
did with Denver. You saw whatwe did with Denver, didn't you?
And I want to say, well, that's a little recency bias, and
just because it's like counter, Ialways counter with, well, yeah,
but the Twins lost eighteen playoff gamesin a row, right, that didn't
mean they were going to lose innineteen. So just because the Wolves were

(14:39):
able to do that against Denver doesn'tnecessarily and this one didn't feel different.
This one. They didn't have thesame defensive identity that they had throughout the
Denver series. And you were talkingabout ant Ant last night reminded me of
watching all the wild playoff games overthe last decade, where you just stay
on the perimeter of the ice andthey can't ever get to the middle where

(15:00):
all the goals are scored where youcan get some second chance, Like Ant
just stayed. He hit some threes, so he'd be shot relatively well when
he was shooting from outside, butat no point was he aggressive take it
to the hoop, and that's likehis strength, like that, he's one
of those that's and that can breakdown an entire defense when you do that.
And he said he had moments inthe Denver series where he wouldn't do

(15:20):
that, but eventually he would turnon the aggression at some point, and
he didn't last night. He neverturned on the cress. And I think
part of that is is it seemedlike the Dallas big man, these two
guys that they acquired before the tradedeadline, they they they acquired their two
big guys before the trade deadline.They seemed more they stayed in the paint

(15:48):
a little bit more. They stayedin and they were there to protect the
rim from Aunt. And then youknow, Kyrie is a pretty good defender,
and you know, they they theyhad some ants. And I think
because they kept their big men alittle closer to the basket, it seemed
to me that that was another factorin Aunt not being able to get there,

(16:08):
because they weren't just going to allowthem to get there. They you
know, like Gobert protects our rim. Those they're big guys were going to
protect there though their rim. Andyeah, I mean it's certainly it's I
think we both agree that it justfelt different. Doesn't mean they can't get
this third thing turned around van Halenright now, because you know it's it's

(16:29):
it's they have done it. Butthat is a really good one two punch
Kyrie and Don Chic. I mean, I said this the other day to
Rosen, I just overlooked them.I thought, what a pro wants,
what a pro need was going toadvance in that series. I just like
when I watched them play, Ithought they were they were going to win

(16:51):
the series. And then Denver andI see why Dallas did. It's an
awful that's a good outfit right there. But points in the paint too,
was is that was a little lopsided. Sixty two to thirty eight for Dallas,
sixty two to thirty eight points inthat And they did have some gimmas.

(17:12):
They had a few times where theymoved that ball. You talk about
moving the ball and getting to theright guy just pinpoint passes in a couple
of a couple of slam dunks.But someone said, wait a second,

(17:33):
twelve yards of mulch do you liveat a Rod's house. I got a
lot of landscaped areas. I thinkI told you. The landscaping guy came
in and put out a plan forme, a blueprint. When I moved
into the place, he said,yeah, that looks good. Why don't
we do that? And then Ithink I counted I have like one hundred
and twelve different plants and shrubs andflowers. It's it's a handful, trust
me, but I needed the mulch. Let's do this. Just take a

(17:57):
break. When we come back,we'll talk more about Wolves versus Dallas.
Also, I want to preview preposterousStatement Tournament quarterfinal match number three. It's
a great matchup. I think it'sone of those primetime kind of a matchups.
That's we'll refer to it as Leanand Radio. We'll talk about that

(18:18):
next Common Man program here on thefan. Find our Mall of America Street
Team all summer long at our events. Come find us and ask us about

(18:38):
our Mall of America Mystery Cards whereeveryone is a winner. See where we'll
be next to Kiffin dot Com,Keybord Calendar. Sports Sports, Sports is
your whole life? Just sports?Isn't really that difficult to analyze and understand

(19:00):
early when you employ the esoteric approach. I don't even know how I do
it. I don't know how Icame up with with this method of taking
a look at a sporting evan ora player, whatever the case may be,
a game and figuring out how itworks, why it works, and
what why certain things happened. Wetalked about this. Yesterday I was talking

(19:23):
to Big Ticket. He said,Kyrie is a little or two days ago,
Kyrie's different. Now he's a littleout there. But and so we
we surmised yesterday tenab withoutout hearing fromfrom Kyrie, that just well, at
this stage of his career, thirteenfourteen year vet, he's got to be
in his mid thirties, early tomid thirties. Has one World championship he

(19:45):
got with Lebron, but that wasway back in like twenty fifteen or twenty
sixteen. So it's like he's probablydon't have a lot of opportunities left,
sort of what Connolly was saying withthe Wolves, right, you know,
don't have a lot of opportunities left, and want to let him slip out
of my fingers. And sure andI and we said, may that has
something to do with Kyrie playing playinga more He has a more concerted effort

(20:07):
as taking more care and playing thegame and looking at both sides of the
Florida talked about it last night whenthey brought him up. He said,
yeah, he goes. You know, I don't know how. He said,
winning ships is what it's all about. We decided we wanted to be
a defensive team talking about he's showingleadership where he's really taken on that that

(20:29):
that chore, that task, thatrole on the team, and it weren't
wonders last night. Whether it continuesto do that remains to be seen.
I'm expecting Cory Cove to take aleadership role today with his better with his
apartments. In the Program Password quarterfinals, it's a third reputational It's a

(20:53):
Covid meat sauce squaring off against isit j G and Nordo? And I
really like this matchup if you're youknow, for those that don't remember,
tend to be the way you setit up was was it those that had
how did you pick the eight thatgot to draft the players? Explained that
again you know me. It camefrom the four teams that advanced and last

(21:15):
year's Program Passer Tournaments to the semifinals. Then they were allowed to select
from a group of invitees. Youput together some you know, almost like
an NFL draft where you put togethereight players. Then we had a draft
and we just we did a wheelof four to a wheel a topic kind
of a thing. Somebody got tomake the first pick and then you even
added another twist where you got topick your opponent. Like the first team,

(21:38):
we spuned the wheel again and let'ssay Team A got to pick from
b CD, e FG or howevermany it was. And that's a nice
twist to it too. But youknow, it was interesting Cove pick Sauce.
And if you'll remember, we startedplaying program pass or how many years
ago, three maybe three years ago. He always wanted to avoid Meat saw

(22:00):
Us at all costs, and thenhe decided to take him, which was
really a different twist. And Ithink he had the second pick in the
day, had the second pick inthe draft, and either he didn't trust
the others or he knows something aboutMeat Sauce that we don't. I think
one of the things he said wasbecause they work together every day. You
know, it's like there was ashowback in the sixties called The Patty Duke

(22:22):
Show. Patty Duke play two characters. She played Patty and Kathy, and
Kathy was her identical cousin from England, and they act alike, they talk
alike. At times. They evensounded like you could lose your mind when
there's cousins there too, of akind. And so maybe it's because because

(22:44):
they worked together, they kind ofknow each other. That seemed to be
one of the reason he did that. The Nordo j G match up again,
a couple of guys have spent alot of time together. They went
out to Army Navy every year fouryears. They've both stared at ceiling fans
producing the Paul Out project. Theyyou know, JG did that for a
while and now and now Norder wasso they they they they also think alike

(23:07):
the Talk of Light. They so. I think it's I think it's probably
two good pairings, and I thinkit's going to be a really good matchup
today. Now I can't remember.Did Power Trip Bets put some some odds
on this. I'm sure they musthave to go back and try to find
I don't want to put you onthe spot as the you know, you're
the host, the MC, you'rethe Bob Barker of program password And I

(23:34):
do think this one is a coinflip. I think Meat Sauce is the
wild card. If if Meat Saucecan stay engaged, well he's married,
but you know what I mean,if he can stay engaged in the game
and stay focused, stay off ofhis cell phone, because you do.
There's nobody that responds quicker to atext than meat sauce. I don't know

(23:55):
if you've ever done that before.You can, I can. I can
text him while he's on the airin the morning and instantaneously I get a
response from him. So will hebe distracted? Also, the first one
responded to tweets like if you mentionedhim in a tweet, he will repost
that thing so instantly, So willhe be distracted by his phone? And
is social or can he say?And if he can stay he handle the

(24:18):
pressure of playoffs password that's it?And if again, much like the situation
I had with Muss, if they'relike not more than two syllable words for
the passwords and the clues stay atone or two syllables. I like their
chances. But you know, guardshe's a gamer and Nordo's got a lot

(24:41):
of talent. I think it's aI think this is gonna be a terrific
matchup today. Yeah, the lineis Gerdsey and Nordo are favored by eight
and a half points, so prettyclose matchup eight and a half. You
know that can go either way basically, But yeah, yeah, I would
agree with you the wild Cards probablymeet Sauce because I've told you I think
Corey's the best player in this game. I would have been and we've had

(25:02):
so far. Gerdsey hasn't won aship and knows how to perform the under
the brightest lights. Noro's record isn'tvery good, but he's also been hamstrung
by his teammates a little bit thathe's been connected with and he's coming off
a huge win, which we'll talkabout before the Passford game. So but
you know, meets Us has beenbetter over the last year or so.

(25:26):
He put in some work. Yes, he watched some tape, he listened
to some tape, try to figureout how he can improve it the game.
And he has gotten better at it, Yeah, he has. And
and even it seems as though he'sin better control of his temper. There
were times early where he would loseheadphones, fly across the room, he
would storm out, no handshake line, none of that, just very bitter,

(25:52):
upset and angry. He seems toaccept his woeful shortcomings and inadequacies better,
right, I think kind of realizes. Really, not the brightest ball
on the in the drawer, notthe sharpest knife, on the tree,
and so maybe I should just acceptthat except who I am, where I've
been, where I'm going, whereI'm at should be delightful. One point
fifteen will be that matchup today.I think it's the most anticipated out of

(26:14):
all there. If it was anNFL game, this would be the primetime
Sunday night game, Yeah, whereasthe other ones were just you know at
noon. Well, and I goback to last week's match up with Must
and Eye against uh, Lit'll beyou really want to go back to that?
No? But what what I'm whatI'm what I'm reflecting on. What
I want to go back to isyou know, we were heavy underdogs,

(26:38):
and sometimes you think to yourself,well, could it really you know,
like sometimes you look at a gamein the NFL and you don't see this
off of but like a sixteen pointunderdog, Like can it really be that
big of a difference between these twoteams? And in our case, there
was, I mean there was ahuge and I was kind of super I
thought, MUSC and I'm now wehad some garbage points late, you know,
we we didn't we go on kindof a little bit of a running

(27:00):
up like two or three in arow and those are just that just made
it look more respectable than it reallyis. That was a beatdown, and
now I know why people expected that. I sometimes when you're when you're the
one that is the underdog, youthink, well, no, we're not
that bad. I mean, comeon, but I realized now we were
that bad, and I understand whywe. I forget what the word was,
but I loved when the clue waslike baby and you ended up getting

(27:22):
moonshine as answer does that come from? I don't know. I don't know
where it comes from. But anyway, you know, even people might find
this odd, but if you listento the program regularly, you would understand
the way why I think this wayand why I feel this way. More
so than interest in the Wolves Dallasmatchup itself, mine is the status of

(27:47):
Tenna's betting ticket. Tanna, whendid you place that bet on the Wolves
to win it all? When itwas twenty two to one odds? When
was that? It was before theplayoffs? So it was, uh,
whenever the powerser put to Vegas,Because okay, COVID is the one that
made the bet for me, Andyou know, I think there were those

(28:08):
that were snickering at you, go, wohy, aren't you just you know,
why don't you just crumple up thathundred dollars bill and throw it out
the window. But all I knowis there's there's just four teams left standing
in the Minnesota Timberwolves are one ofthem. And and I think before last
night's loss, powercher Bets had saidthe value of that ticket is now eight
hundred dollars based off of their oddsto win the whole thing. Ten the

(28:30):
ten of ticket Tracker, Yeah,the ten of ticket track Tracker. I
always loved that one. There wasa time where people were making you incredible
offers for it, and you justsorry. We sweep Phoenix four games to
oh up to nothing on Denver,suddenly we're down three two to the Nuggets,

(28:51):
and you're seriously considering all sorts ofand there were some good ones,
but you you, you, youstuck with the Wolves. You stood tall,
you kept your betting ticket, eventhough you could have you could have
actually made money because you only betone hundred. There were some offers that
were that were willing to give yougoods, services and cash that were worth

(29:11):
hundreds, undreds, hundreds of dollarsmore than that, but you stood tall
hoping to win the twenty two hundreddollars. There are now more bets coming
in, or more offers coming inTennabe now that the Wolves are down one
game to none. This one,this one says new offer for tennis ticket.
I'll roll down my driver's side windowsso he can place the ticket safely

(29:34):
in my car without damage. I'llalso leave it unlocks so we can place
a free tarp shooter in the backas well. So he'll just take the
ticket off your hand and take oneof your tarp shooters off your hand.
Here's another Tennebe offer update. Twohundred and fifty dollars cash plus one hour

(29:55):
of ice time hosted by Adam Oatesto work on the power Play with Leo's
squirt team. No, I alwayslove that one hour of ice these days
costs over two undred dollars, Andwith the guy like Adam Oates, it's
not right. It's not like I'mgiving you an hour of instruction on power
play. It's Adamots, who Parisiansuitors swore by. As a matter of

(30:17):
fact, they went around the coachover his head and brought Adamotes in to
help him with the power play.This is this is an offer a second
value. Yeah, I think youhave to seriously consider this offer. And
I thought I had one more hereand we'll get more. I'm sure I
could have swore there was one oneother one that was pretty good, maybe
maybe the oh this one here,ten, I'll offer twenty eight forty five

(30:41):
cents. That equals the gas wheneyit took to go place that bet.
You know, if you would havedrove down to Diamond Joe, even though
you didn't, that's what it wouldhave taken. So there are people all
wait new offer. Here's my finaloffer for Tannebee's bet. I'll give him
one hundred dollars for the ticket.He keeps the ticket. I take both
of you golfing and buy you lunch. If the Wolves win it all,

(31:03):
Tennebee reimburses me for golf lunch andgives me the one hundred dollars back plus
the ticket plus another hundred he can'tlose. Did you ever understand that?
Say that again, he's going togive you one hundred dollars for the ticket.
Yeah, but you keep the ticket, okay. He takes you and
me to golf and buys this lunch. If the Wolves end up winning at

(31:23):
all, Tenneby reimburses him for thegolf, and the lunch gives you the
one hundred dollars, you give hima hundred dollars back for the ticket,
plus another one hundred dollars. Whereare we golfing? But that is?
Let's find out where the Let's findout where that is? Because that does

(31:45):
sound like you can't lose. No, I'd be getting a free ticket.
You'd beginning a free ticket, andif the Wolves lose, I'm still getting
free golf and a meal out ofthem. Yeah. What if? What
if they only have one thing onthe men know menu and it's a cheeseburger
and there's a pickle on the plateand the juice seeped into your into your

(32:07):
BoNT then the bets off. I'dalso need to know if this guy's damer
Like, well, that's that's aquestion you always have to ask. That's
a question you always have to ask. So, yes, we've had a
number of offers for Tennybes tickets.It's uh. And again, if you
were to win it all, youwould get your hundred dollars back that you
placed on the bet, plus twentytwo hundred more right, So it's twenty

(32:29):
two twenty two to one. Nicesweet as we look ahead, A Game
two will be on this radio stationtomorrow night from Target. Saturday is a
travel day, Game three in Dallas. I'm coming back. You're still on

(32:52):
the fence, whether you can arrangeit or not, but I will be
back on. I'm on I'm oncall. Well it's not even call anymore.
I am loyal and dedicated to theradio station, to the Wolves and
the fans of the Grum. Iwill be here on Monday to talk about
well, not only game three,but game two. I guess as well,
because you know the Friday, wewon't be back on until monus to

(33:15):
be two games places and said,so we will be in here much like
after the Denver series. Well,first of all, after the Phoenix series.
Going into the Phoenix series, Ireally I was one of those that
started to I started to believe thePhoenix hype. Those three wins regular season

(33:37):
wins over the Wolves, including thelast game of the regular season when seeding
was still at stake and the Wolvesloss. So I was starting to think.
I didn't wasn't convince Phoenix was gonnawin. But I thought it would
be a hell of a series fourgame sweep, so I'm maybe maybe I'm
better off not predicting wins and lossesin the playoffs. And then with Denver

(34:00):
it was even worse. They winthe first two on the road, then
lose three in a row, crushDenver in game six, Game seven,
they're down by twenty. It's almostlike it's an exercise in futility. I
think you and I talked about itgoing into game seven. I'm not picking
anything because I don't know anymore.This is too unpredictable. This whole series,

(34:21):
especially the Denver Minnesota series, hasbeen so unpredictable. It's hard to
actually feel confident or comfortable in anyconclusion you've come to leading into the game.
I sort of feel like that now, just with the way the Wolves
have conducted themselves during this plays thatalmost seems like when they expectate when do

(34:45):
I say this, It seems likewhen you think all is lost is when
they play their best, and thenwhen you think it's all going their way,
that's when they play their worst,or that's when you get the outcome
you're not looking for. So it'salmost as though I now you've already lost.
We've considered we home court advantages.Basically, it's it's it's it's the

(35:08):
Wolves don't have it anymore now,right, I I expect the one thing
I will agree with people, andyou're right, because that's what I said
to Ben Clayton and Matt as well. They were saying, there's no way
Aunt and Cat are going to shootas poorly as they did and as you
said, well, probably not goingto get the same kind of shooting performance.

(35:31):
Howto McDaniels and and SloMo, iswe're going to get That's the thing
is because it's so unpredictable, andI in and Dallas might have guys that
play better and they might have guysthat play worse. At the risk of

(35:51):
being a Homer, I'm gonna saywe even the series. I I I
think we'll even go to Homer istake. Yeah, you know, well,
I just feel like it's home rush, but maybe not. I don't
know. I mean, obviously weonly looked at the Minnesota side of things,
but to your point, like thatdidn't look like the Timberwolf seem has
seen all playoffs. Now, howmuch of that is on Dallas and how

(36:14):
much of that is on Minnesota.I guess we'll find out as the series
moves along, but they didn't seemto have the same defensive identity and wasn't
the same aggressive score. Big Miaowas a guy I thought would be able
to produce offensively in the series,and he didn't have great moments last night.
So and and inspite all that,you lost by what three four points?

(36:34):
Rights final score? Yeah, lostby three points. It's not you
didn't get blown out, right,And I would like to think the wolves
calling card all season long has beentheir defense. They've now seen that full
Dallas team. They'd play Dallas multipletimes, but they hadn't seen that full
version of Dallas. Now that you'veseen him a game, now, maybe
you can devise a little bit bettergame plan as the series goes along and

(36:57):
your defense can take over. Becausethe Wolves have always been the team that
wears down the other team. Corlastnight it looked like the opposite. Yes,
well, and that's where Kyrie hadsaid in the post game that they
during the All Star break is whenthey said let's clamp down on defense.
And he you know, he usedthe cliche. It's the cliches are cliches.
For a reason, he said.He said the exact words. Defense

(37:21):
wins championships, and he they knowthey can score. He can score,
Doncic can score. They've got otherguys that can put the ball in the
basket. You got to prevent theother team and frustrate Hi when there's not
going your way. That's where theother team gets gets in a funk and
they get they get out of whack. Well. The manner in which Kyrie
can score I think is a problemfor the Wolves too, because all you

(37:42):
ever hear about the Wolves defense isthey've got length, They've got length.
What should they do? How doyou beat length? Speed and quickness?
Yes, right, like that's Tyleris faster than Jamal Murray was or is.
Yes, like he's got more firstcooks up so he can he can
get himself some space, I thinkmore so than Jamal could. Well,
and this is truly in it againonly well, I like to always pray

(38:07):
it was just one game. Butthat's a great guard combination. That's I
mean, Denver had Jamal and thatwas about it. Don chicches he was
a league's leading score He's as goodas anybody I've watched play basketball and then
you put him with a with afuture Hall of Famer in Kyrie. If
they can continue to play at thatlevel, the Wolves are in for I

(38:30):
was gonna say a long series couldbe a short series if they played that
they did, but as you mentioned, was only a three point difference in
the game, So all is well. And I did feel at the end
of the game last night. Iknow Reggie Miller was saying it ad nausea
while was going on, but fourthquarter it did look to me like Anthony
Edwards was tired the way he wasavoiding the offense towards the end. So
I would like to know, allright, was there some game Game seven

(38:52):
leftover fatigue for him or is hetired because he had to chase Kyrie game
I think you nailed it right.So if it's because he had to chase
Kyrie or a game that ain't gonnachange, that's series and I think you
nailed it. I think that wasthe reason because and there were a couple
There was the one play and itwas in the first half Kyrie made one

(39:13):
of those almost like an ant kindof be where he spun one way and
went the other, and he leftAnt and his dust and Ann was having
troubles keeping up with them, Andis that because he was tired or was
he tired because of trying to keepup with Ant? It was eye opening
though for me. I thought theywould win last night, especially at home.
I know he had a seven gameyou had a draining seven game series.

(39:36):
Well, Dallas played a six gameseries against a really good team too.
Here at Tennaby. How about thisoffer? This is an interesting tenant
ticket offer. Straight up, tradehis Wolves championship ticket for my Dallas winning
the championship. Taket. Wow,he says, my ticket pays twenty five
hundred if they win it all earsplays twenty two And why would he make

(39:58):
that train? I don't just see. Well, maybe he's starting to feel
that it could given it at abetter price and a one zero lead.
Yeah, maybe he just feels it'smaybe just testing you to see if you
know where your loyalty lies and ifyou maybe an hour from what you because
you said this felt different last name, Maybe you want to what we call
heads your bet? Well, howmuch how much did he bet? Because

(40:19):
it's one thing to say plus twentyfive hundred if that's not a ten dollars
bet Oh, it doesn't mean asmuch anymore. Yeah, there you go.
I don't know. He'll have toprovide us with more information on that.
Let's pause, we'll return, We'lldo a five to three four,
then program password quarter final Invitational,saw some cole versus JG and Nordo,
and then arose and at two o'clockright now, though Tannaby has a tease

(40:42):
for five three four. Yeah.Maybe the NFL doesn't have a finite budget.
