Speaker 2 (02:37):
Mayberry, the Home of the Dodgers with an inside look
at the Dodgers. This is the Vassie Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I gotta say, I say, I Say I say David Vasse.
After a lot of panic and a lot of upset,
the Dodgers come back. Some good outings from Yama.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Love that new one, Oh Yama Yama. Now that we
know man, we're in tin May.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Some of their troubles seemed to be a little bit
in the past, but we shall see the Dodgers head
to New York City. David Vasse has off night. Dodger
talked tonight, Spectrum Sports net LA and the MLB Network.
There is only one David Vass on the Petrosen Money Show.
What's cracking, Dave?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I'm doing great, guys, and yeah, it was a disappointing
home stand for the Dodgers. They were one of the
most dominant teams in baseball at home, So to have
a nine game homestand and just go a game under
five hundred, that's not ideal for the Dodgers. Obviously, that's
sweep by the Angels kind of derailed what was a
(03:46):
pretty good home stand Outside of that, how.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Big was the win last night for Dustin May, not
just to get a win on his ledger getting that
big home run from the Oscar in the bottom of
the inning, but also just the way he pitched. He
goes six means it seemed like a real bounce back
effort from him. I guess a really good lineup.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Yeah, I feel like Dustin May needs to take that
challenge from Dave Roberts and maybe even from some of
his other teammates to be better than what he has
been the last few starts. And look, it's been a
while since he started. I think we all forget that.
But nonetheless, you don't have to make things a lot
harder on yourself. In the start against the Angels, he
(04:27):
let his emotions get the best of them. He hit
the eight to nine hitters, and it came back to
cost him. Last night, he seemed to be a little
bit better in check. Dalton Rushing did a nice job
of catching him and he was able to hang in
there with Corbyn Burns, who made just one bit, one
big mistake to one of the best hitters with two
(04:48):
outs and with runners in scoring position, ta Oscar Hernandez.
And I don't know if you guys saw the game,
but ta Oscar after he in that at bat, he
swung it strike two. It was a cutter away and
that's the way Corbyn Burns was operating last night. After
that strike too, Taoscar took a walk around home plate,
(05:09):
reset himself, and Burns made a huge mistake pitch a
flat slider right down the middle of the plate, which
is basically batting practice, and Oscar Hernandez sent it to
the moon. So that was the literally the only mistake
Corbin Burns made, and Tioscar made him pay for it.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Just like Dave's old friend want a Moon of the
Moon shot David Masse Yeah, our guest at the Real
Underscore DV Dodger, reporter, aficionado and the best of the
best in the city of Los Angeles. So maybe some
perspective for our listeners, Dave, if they sit there and
listen to Tim Neverett and Jose Moda talk for inning
(05:51):
after inning after inning about how overly taxed the bullpen.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Is is that right?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
And how unsustainable it is? Hard? Now maybe it was?
Maybe is that right?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It was Steven Nelson. I'm sorry, Tim, but you know,
people going on and on about this, and then you
get a couple outings where the starters go a lot deeper.
Does that solve the problem or is it something where
they need weeks and weeks of this type of behavior.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
They need weeks and weeks of this type of behavior.
Two games is not going to solve that?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Is well, we don't know, you know, and they're sitting
there calling for it.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
I know, Petros, they've got to get this consistently. I
don't believe it's that much to ask for a starter
to go at least five innings or six innings. And
now here's the part that really complicates matters for the Dodgers.
If they're not going to get solid quality starts all
of a sudden, now their bullpen is really thin. There's
(06:46):
no Evan Phillips, there's no Blake Trining, there's no Kirby Yates.
So basically your two best believers are Alex Vessi and
Tanner Scott. And Ben Casparraus is right there too, but
Dave Roberts uses him in a variety of different ways.
So if you're trying to shorten the game, there's really
not that many options that Dave Roberts has outside of
(07:09):
those three guys and add in Jack Dryer. So that's
why it's even more precarious for the Dodgers starters not
to go deep into games because you don't have a
bullpen at full strength that can cover four or five
innings every single game. And like we talked about yesterday,
(07:29):
if you look at the next two teams that have
the most innings pitched by their bullpen their last place teams,
the White Sox and Marlins. That's not company you want
to be in if you're the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
What about the the Trevino guy. I liked his beard,
I like his style. Look like he was pumping some gas.
Could he be a good option here moving forward?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
I don't know. He doesn't have that reputation, Matt, but
maybe the Dodgers have unlocked something with him, and maybe
he's the next Devin Phillips or the next Anthony. I
don't know. Time will only tell, but I would not
want to put Luke Trevino out there three out of
four nights. That would not be something I would be
(08:11):
comfortable with.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
You mentioned the mistake to tay Oscar. What about a
little bit earlier in that inning with with Shohey and
because man, when he hit it, it looked like that thing
was going to the seventy six station. What happened on
that hit? Did he just get under it? Because it
was hard to tell on TV. I mean, they made
it look like that thing was just gone.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I am so glad you asked that, because I asked
Luis Cruz in the hallway after that inning, like what
was that about? Did he just get under it? He
said no. The the at that prior Burns came inside
and he fouled that ball off his front foot, and
we all know Otani doesn't like the baseball. He doesn't
(08:51):
like it inside. So he pulled off that pitch and
was starting to you know, his butt was going into
the first base dugout, and that's the reason why he
missed it. If he hung in there and just strided
normally towards the picture. He would have hit a home run,
but because of the at that prior, that's the reason
why his butt was headed to the dugout.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
David Vasse is our guest who's on Dodger Talk tonight.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Dave, we got a great show tonight. Petros number one,
our buddy calling me did such a great job of
a highlight montage from the ten game road trip. We
we did it again. We're going to do a highlight
montage of the highlights of this nine game Homestand poor
Hey Castillo from ESPN New York is going to fill
(09:38):
us in on the Juan Soto drama before the Dodgers
get into the city field and.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Is causing drama and for the Mets, there's a lot
of drama.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Tell us give us it up. What we don't know
anything about bone soo.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Yeah, well, number one, in Game two of that series
at Fenway Pac Soto hit a fly ball off the
Green Monster that he thought was going to go over
the Green Monster. Instead it hit off the monster and
he was still standing there with a single instead of
running out of the box. So they were calling him lazy,
(10:15):
and I guess in the last few at bats he's
had here, he's seen fifteen pitches and he hasn't swung
at any of them. And he's not doing the Sodo
shuffle anymore either, so he's not playing with joy. And
everybody in New York is saying that his family pushed
him to sign and chase the money with the Mets
(10:36):
when he wanted to stay with the Yankees. So after
going to New York, he's having the same type of
feelings Freddie Freeman had the first time he went to Atlanta.
So that's the drama, and this will be the first
PTO goes back to City Field after all this.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Wow, Buyer's remorse or I guess Signer's remorse is what
that would be. Right. Don't always chase the money, especially
if you who.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
From the Mats is going to be like Kershaw and
shake Freddy Freeman or Soto in this case and say snap.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Out of that. You can act like I'm that.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I see Brandon Nimo doing that, and he doesn't have
a fancy handshake with Pete Alonzo like he had with
Aaron Judge.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Though what about Lindor Tough I did not know about that.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Kenn into all that with Jorge Castillo and you guys,
remember I'm nostalgic, So I'm bringing it back from twenty
twenty the COVID shows my interview with Eric Davis and
Darryl Strawberry since the straw owned Flushing Queens out there,
So we're going to bring it back tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Flushing Meadows, David Vasse, Ladies and gentlemen. Piazza, dude, let's
talk some Dodgers mets with Piazza.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Won't He won't do any Dodger affiliated show.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Not that easy of a get. Remember he went after
Vince Scully. None of us are over it. Exactly right, Matt,
exactly right.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Dave.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Have you noticed any different in the clubhouse now that
them dudes are gone, like a different vibe or is
it just.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Business as usual now that who's gone, you know, Taylor,
the Rata Tree, and and and Austin Barnes.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Yeah, no, I don't feel like that. You know Barnes,
he was a presence, right, He was a presence in
the dugout in the clubhouse. He was a guy that
would really help some of the younger pitchers even when
they were going through struggles. He was he was a
really good teammate in that respect because he was a catcher.
(12:34):
Chris Taylor was always quiet, kept to himself, so I
wouldn't say that there's some vocal uh vacuum that is
missing right now. But those two guys played. Taylor played
over a thousand games for the Dodgers. Barnes played his
entire career with the Dodgers and the Majors. So they
(12:55):
were really important role players that unfortunately father time caught
up with.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Is Will Smith well rested now since he took his
bibble head day off?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
He's okay now, Yes, so he got yesterday off, today off,
so he should be ready to go for three night
games in New York.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Perfect.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
The rushing's favorite player Mike Piazza, so I'm sure he
would love to play in New York.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, but that being said, piazza bitterness toward the Dodgers, Hey,
take it out on Fred Claire and leave us alone.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
You should gift him a copy of that New York
Post on the back page where it says I'm not
day because he's not. One of the better headlines we've
ever seen in the history of guys.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Of bringing up Piazza because today is the anniversary of
the Marlins trading Piazza to the Mets to complete we
know the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
S Falure. We've had Piazza on the brain all show.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Dad.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Oh, We've been talking about it all day, all day.
I've been texting back and forth and every time Piazza
calls carolse he does. I just don't know how you
do it? Like what he's like work for them.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
You hear us on the show today, No, no, I
miss Caros. First Barnes left and then the next day
Caros was done broadcasting for a month.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Well, you owe him dinner, so you're safe from having
to pay that two hundred dollars until the next time.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
We might be in Idaho or Wyoming, wherever he goes.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
We'll be back with more great Well, there's a lot
of people up there. They're just white. We'll be right
back with a sports Dodger Talk with David Massey at seven.

One more time we.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Have the place.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Some more elaborate tapping on that other song. All right,
it's time for the what it says right here? What
do you want from me, Matt? What Ta's an American
Pacific Islander night. I want you just to read it.
I did. I want you to. I don't want you
to say island or I want you to say island.
It rained down on me. What you want to say
Pacific islander. It's spelled e y e dash lander uh landerland.
(16:38):
Don't start a riot with the islanders.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
It wasn't about the white man. It wasn't about the Mexican.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Three things? Is your wife white? Because if she is,
you've better shut your face. What if I got a
white bastard? Oh, someone did some sniffing. I know something
about Shimon. Somebody was sniff sniffing around three things. How'd
(17:08):
you watch outfield right now? We watched a little bit
of it in the sweet yesterday, Pee listened to a
little bit of it on the way home, and then
watched a little bit of it, a lot of it
after I arrived at the homestead. The national sports media,
and then it just kept going beyond ecstatic, beyond ecstatic
(17:30):
with the New York Knicks finding their way into the
Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in twenty five years,
literally twenty five years, which when you think about the
largest media market in America, I know we've had lean
years here and there with the Lakers. After their back
to back two thousand and nine twenty ten titles, things
(17:52):
got sideways for a while, mostly thanks to Strawberry pancakes. Ultimately,
you played Magic Johnson. Well, I just assumed that if
anybody was scouting and listening to people like Don McClain
when they joined us on the show, and we're talking
about Jason Tatum and Dut Dut Dut Dyarin. What does
don know instead of taking a guy who you were
(18:15):
convinced would be the future face of your franchise because
his dad was making strawberry pancakes for you and your
brother in your Chino Hills home. I got a little
sideways there.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
They did get the Mickey Mouse Championship in twenty twenty.
They did have the best record in the league that year,
even though it was a June the third style season.
But I think it is important for us to acknowledge
that the Lakers navigated a situation that completely and totally
mentally unraveled the Clippers from which they never recovered, never recovered.
(18:53):
I guess that's fair to say so, even though it
was a Mickey Mouse title, the Clippers unraveled so badly
that with the second best record in the league, they
were never able to reclire. It was so great why
they fire Frank Vogel exactly right, And of course they
made it back to a conference final a couple of
years later. But so great why they fired Darman Half
(19:14):
Because he had that weird thing on his head that
you kept making fun of him. People were like I
can't take my hed been shot. I can't listen to
him coach because I am focused on his head. Outside
of that incredibly disappointing seven years with Lebron James, it
is Los Angeles. We expect a team that has the
brand recognition of the Lakers to be good year in
and year out. Uh, that free agents would want to
(19:37):
come here, would want to play here, would maybe want
to take less to where to don the forum blue
and gold. But I think many would argue that the
Knicks have always boasted that they in fact have the
number one destination in the NBA for big name players.
That has never for all of the Laker myopia in
the off season about oh we don't get this guy
(19:59):
and we're going to trade for this. Yeah, it does happen,
like it does happen. Yeah they end up here. Yeah,
Lebron j and Lucas the Laker. The NBA makes it happen. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I mean it used to be Jerry West beating the
bushes right and fighting masks off to get Shack and
figuring out how to get Kobe. Then it became, hey,
get Anthony Davis here and we'll give you the first
pick you can get Zion and hey, get Luca here.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
We'll give you the first pick. You can get Cooper
flag because white people love Texas and Texas love white people.
Hey for that conversation at you keep scrolling. What I'm
saying is nobody in the history of professional sports has
boasted that they are going to land the big Fish
(20:47):
because they will want to cement their all time legacy
as one of the greats while playing their home games
in Madison Square Garden. Like the Knicks. It is it
is never happened, unreal, it never happened. Never Mychael Jordan,
Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Grant Hill, Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant
shows the Brooklyn Nets chose to live in the city
(21:11):
of New York and play for the Brooklyn Nets over
the Knicks. It was going to be lebron and all
of them turned their back for whatever reason. Maybe they
didn't want to mix business with pleasure. They love JD
in the Straight Shot so much and would ruin their
audio experience. That's part of it.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
I think, you know the pressure of the New York
Niche sure, it's not like they've had any success since
Pat Ewing and he never won.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Anything twenty five years since they've been in the conference,
never won a title. Yeah, made it to two finals.
But and then you look at this particular group and
the construction of this team that is being celebrated, albeit
kicking them a little bit while they're down right now
after blowing a seventeen point fourth quarter league and like
allowing nine freaking points in fifty seconds turn it off.
(22:00):
Took me here quite some time to decipher what had happened. Later,
this game is over.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
I saw the choking. I tried to read the score.
I saw that it was over. Then I saw it
wasn't over.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
What happened? Wait?
Speaker 5 (22:10):
What?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, it was kind of like that. I do understand
why it's being celebrated when when the other three teams
are from Indianapolis, Minneapolis and those carpetbaggers that stole a
squad from Seattle and dropped them into the dust bowl
of Oklahoma City.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Tom jodes favorite team, the Holma City Thunder. Why not
root for the big town? Well, it's all the d
they've got, and they got to lean all the way
in and New York people are not easy to root for.
I mean, you got John Ham sitting out there. The
weird thing is they are not the mailbox hands. Yes,
their sports fans are annoying. Their brand of sports talk
(22:48):
could not be any different than our brand of sports talk.
I guess that's mostly more successful as well.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
No doubt. But I found, and we say it all
the time. Your heart will tell you. I found that
it's an easy team to root for. Who the Knicks? Yeah,
well the Jalen puffy face Bronce puffy face brunts. He's
really great. Yeah, he's fantastic. And then all the guys
that the Lakers let go, and God blessed Tom Thibodeau
for now. You love Thibodeau. You're a tip guy from
(23:18):
Long and Me, and you were one of the first
guy to say TIBs TIBs. You know, you really picked
up on that nickname. Love tips and you said it
a lot. Hey, TIBs is gonna play a physical brand.
I might say we had a is TIBs getting heavy
with the minutes? TIBs is getting heavy with the minutes.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Some might say we had a little bit of a
lopsided Chicago Bulls coverage. Love TIBs around here based on
you know, defense is playing on a string.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Right now. Guys.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Love what Derek Rose, Look what Tips is doing. Joe
Kim Noahs, great player, guys.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
It is a brand of basketball that, perhaps due to
my age, that I can appreciate as it has pushed
back against what I think is as response.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
To playing relevant basketball, playing kick ass basketball people around
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I like seeing Julius Randall. Ju Randall do exactly right
from Minnesota, you know, busting people up. It's fun. Tibbs
wants to beat the crapaud you. He wants to play
an inside, outside game. He's not obsessed with three pointers.
He's got no issues with mid range jumpers. His guys
are not running the other direction the second their opponent
is putting up a wide open three. They want rebounds.
(24:23):
They're going to play basketball with a style that we appreciate,
and Anthony Mason and Charles Oakley style, Larry Johnson style
of basketball. Shout out to the X man, Xavier McDaniel exactly.
I was about to say, McKinney, my football brain got
sideways on me. There, McDaniel style of basketball. And as
(24:44):
much as it pains me to say it, with his
stupid face and his puffy cheeks, a John Starks brand
of basketball is what's being played out there. Not a
wise man, Yes you had experience, I believe with that,
and really not a good basketb football player, like really
had no business being in the state NBA starting talking
(25:05):
about Starks like that. He really did not have knocked
it on Jordan's head, right, It was just kind of
like a pat Riley. Hey, the referees are going to
let you just freaking punch this guy in the ribs
for forty minutes and to start Pat Beverly of our generation,
that's a great point. He really get under your skin.
And when that shot went up, that Halliburton shot and
(25:25):
it boomed off the back of that rim, where was
your heart? Because my heart was hoping it was a miss.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
My heart was on the telephone with a Pop Warner
football coach, like what you run the veer?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Are you kidding me that you might have been talking
to Izzy? Or that was the way I talked to
Izzy on the way home. That's last night.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
And then I took the call from the Pop Warner
football coach and it was my duty to tell you
that I talked to Izzy.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
She wanted you to tell me that you talked to her. Yes,
I appreciate it, and you two kids, Kate, you want
to weigh in on that, he said, No, I was
hoping it was gonna rim out. Man, these Nicks, I'll
tell you, you realize quickly that it doesn't matter if they win,
It does not matter if they lose. Just as long
as they are playing, they are going to be the
(26:11):
center of the conversation. They are going to be the
star and all of the planets that surround it. It is.
We're talking Nicks. And when we come back, we're going
to talk some Nicks. And then later in the show,
we're going to bring on a guest that is going
to talk about Dunnis And.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
In the very next segment we're going to talk about
what Stephen A. Smith said about what the Knicks should do.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
They should be so embarrassed, they should be humiliated. It's easy, dude.
I don't know if you know this, but in the NBA,
it's a cliche. It's a game of runs. Guys misshots
a get run outs. This dude is making freaking three points.
(26:58):
Nest Smith or nests Well Slivanson. Yeah, that guy bes bit.
It's just like bang bang, Yeah, thats bit. No, I
know Nestsmith ploy Bean. Sorry no, hey, that's neither relevant
to this conversation. The one thing that they don't have
going for them the mix. Yeah, well, other than a
(27:20):
win in Game one, Yeah, other than blowing a seventeen
point fourth quarter lead in the Game one of the
Eastern Conference Finals to their bitter Eastern Conference Final rival.
Like so many teams in the NBA, including the two
we have here in town thanks to trades that stripped
them of all their draft picks, is there's no homegrown talent.
These Knicks are barely Knicks. It is as wild as
(27:40):
anything you've ever seen. Only one of their rotation players
was actually drafted by the Knicks, Mitchell Robinson, and he
plays eighteen minutes a game and had one of the
worst defensive lapses you will ever see last night in
that contest. Brunson free agent, third year with New York
after four years in Dallas. Karl Anthony Towns number one
pick A Minnesota nine years A and I always hate
(28:03):
making it a singular. It's weird. Nine years a timber Wolf,
one year a Nick acquired via trade, og Anenobi, six
years a Raptor, two years a Nick Michale Bridges five years,
a son, one year a Net now in his first
year with the Knicks, again acquired via trade, and of
(28:23):
course someone we're very familiar with Josh hart Laker for
his first two seasons before being shipped off the New
Orleans and the Anthony Davis trade, played in Portland, and
now a Nick in his third season of an eight
year career. It's a bunch of dudes that have played
longer somewhere else than in New York, yet they have
an opportunity to become the most beloved Nick team my Knicks.
(28:49):
Jaylen Brunson rescued us from the depths of hell than
any Nick. So glad that John Hamm and Lenny Kravitz
can be happy. That is one of the more aner
taining parts of this is the die hard Nick fans
call it. It's celebrity Nick fans calling out the non
die Sudacas. I saw Warren hard. They're like, get Sudeacas
(29:15):
out of here, go see a Caitlin Carr game. Sudecas
is a Brooklyn Net fan. Get out of here, you hipster.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Killing who's down there in Indiana? I mean, is Captain
Andrew Lock's going to be there?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
You know Andrew and James. Oh, it's gonna be incredible.
Vonte Davis, both the Davis brothers. Oh uh. By the way,
how about that twenty twenty draft with Tyrese Haliburton courtesy
of our friend Don McLain, twelfth overall pick. A real
kick in the balls if you look at it as
(29:49):
a team that drafted ahead of them, the worst case
of which is the Golden State Warriors, who had the
number two overall pick that year, remember, and they were like,
you can't put LaMelo Ball on the same team as Steff.
It doesn't make any sense. So they drafted a guy
by the name of James Weissman, one of my people.
He lasted like two years and was most recently an
(30:10):
NBA pacer and is out of the league. Killian Hayes
to the Pistons. He's in the G League. The Knicks
took Obi Toppin, who had that big dunk last night
and is a pacer now Stella Burt and he's playing
against him with his big arms and his tattoos.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Great rider, Bernie Topping, I'm surprised to see him out there,
of high flying.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
It's wild. I never thought Bernie Toping could play above
the rim. You put a pair of high tops on
him and he's a rocking man. It's amazing. Goodbye yellow
brick Road, Hello the Lane. Let me simply wrap it
up with this, p Lakers are no different. That's why
people love Austin Reefs so much. Got a bunch of
basketball mercenaries out there. And of course, what would be
(30:52):
a three Things Thursday talking basketball without crapping on Lebron?
What is Lebron? How will you identify him? If these
players win the NBA title with the Knicks, they will
forever be Nicks. Lebron Eleven seasons in Cleveland, one title,
a couple trips to the NBA finals, four years in Miami,
four trips to the NBA Finals, two titles, seven years
(31:15):
a Laker, one trip to a Mickey Mouse NBA Championship
in a bubble.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Let me tell you this, Nobody in Miami likes Lebron anymore. Okay,
so that's out La. People I think are done with him.
There are still some true believers in Ohio and they
can't be helped.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Lebron. You'll always have the Cavs. You'll always have Ohio.
It is while go on back, not a bad idea.
There's still time maybe Brisle Juan you good luck to
my knicks. Good luck to the Knicks.

and famous Emmanuelacho twitter rant regarding the Ryan Clark r
G three White wife conversation. Can't criticize Angel Reese because
you've got some white You can't talk about what that foul,
(35:01):
if that was a hard foul or not, because you're

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yeah, because we were talking about white guys winning and
now we've got inclusive. We're inclusive.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
We turn our attention to our Asian American Pacific world.
The place, well said Matt.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
In this world.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
We all.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
The place in this world. You like Ibanezer Scrooge, Matt,
I get through that heart exterior. You love being inclusive
with the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. I know you do. Yeah,
because we're winners. I want winners and that includes the
(36:48):
Romani's and Creoles. We don't want to leave anybody behind. Nope,
not a what.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Don't forget to tell Money that we talked last night,
pee and tell them we need to do lunch. That
is from Isabelle ibarra I figured Petros and Money super listener.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Who breached your block? She did?
Speaker 4 (37:08):
Did you unblock her? Or did she find a way
to breach your block. Did she get a new phone number? No.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
I think somehow she was put in the blocked messages
folder and I popped that open and then unblocked her
because she taught me how to unblock her, so I
unblocked her. Maybe I'll give her a call on the
way home tonight. Terrible news, Matt. The secret text does
a fine brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
(37:35):
We make it easy.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
It has just been brought to my attention that the
man of the hour, the guy everybody wants to hang
out with j Cuddy. No, but that was earlier today,
Tyrese Halliburton, right of the Indiana Pacers and Rick Carlisle's
great coaching. Terrible news, Matt. He's not having those kind
(37:56):
of conversations at home. His girlfriend has made appearance on
the court in Madison Square Garden. Jade Jones is her name,
and she's white. Longtime partner Bow She is white Boow
so he's team RGI three and she tweeted out last
night boo or put out on Instagram. Posted last night
(38:19):
after Halliburton's big shot went in. She wrote, finally got
to see the ball drop in nyc Ah. That's clever,
referencing the Pacers eventual one hundred and thirty eight to
one hundred and thirty five victory in overtime, a historic
comeback for the Pacers.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Yeah, I believe she's white Team Archie three. And you
know what else? I saw Shay Gilgess, Alexander's wife who
he got emotional about thanking when he won the MVP
Award for all his flopping. Like James Harden, you want
to take a little guess about her?
Speaker 4 (39:00):
White damn night, every damn white.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
I never thought that we would be drawing lines like this, Matt.
But you and I are not the ones that make
the rules. No, I'm just following the instruction of someone
who posted a very compelling video on Twitter. The Nicku
are the first team in the NBA Playoffs to lose,
having been up fourteen points with two forty five remaining.
It had never happened before. Teams were nine hundred ninety
(39:32):
four and zero in that situation. They are now nine
hundred ninety four and one, up fourteen with two forty
five to go. I feel bad for the people in
New York. Do you know how much I love them?
I can't do anything. I've locked myself in my room.
No phone, no TV, no newspaper, no radio. I can't
(39:55):
take it, I can't believe it.
Speaker 4 (39:57):

Mayberry, the Home of the Dodgers with an inside look
at the Dodgers. This is the Vassie Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I gotta say, I say, I Say I say David Vasse.
After a lot of panic and a lot of upset,
the Dodgers come back. Some good outings from Yama.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Love that new one, Oh Yama Yama. Now that we
know man, we're in tin May.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Some of their troubles seemed to be a little bit
in the past, but we shall see the Dodgers head
to New York City. David Vasse has off night. Dodger
talked tonight, Spectrum Sports net LA and the MLB Network.
There is only one David Vass on the Petrosen Money Show.
What's cracking, Dave?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I'm doing great, guys, and yeah, it was a disappointing
home stand for the Dodgers. They were one of the
most dominant teams in baseball at home, So to have
a nine game homestand and just go a game under
five hundred, that's not ideal for the Dodgers. Obviously, that's
sweep by the Angels kind of derailed what was a
(03:46):
pretty good home stand Outside of that, how.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Big was the win last night for Dustin May, not
just to get a win on his ledger getting that
big home run from the Oscar in the bottom of
the inning, but also just the way he pitched. He
goes six means it seemed like a real bounce back
effort from him. I guess a really good lineup.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Yeah, I feel like Dustin May needs to take that
challenge from Dave Roberts and maybe even from some of
his other teammates to be better than what he has
been the last few starts. And look, it's been a
while since he started. I think we all forget that.
But nonetheless, you don't have to make things a lot
harder on yourself. In the start against the Angels, he
(04:27):
let his emotions get the best of them. He hit
the eight to nine hitters, and it came back to
cost him. Last night, he seemed to be a little
bit better in check. Dalton Rushing did a nice job
of catching him and he was able to hang in
there with Corbyn Burns, who made just one bit, one
big mistake to one of the best hitters with two
(04:48):
outs and with runners in scoring position, ta Oscar Hernandez.
And I don't know if you guys saw the game,
but ta Oscar after he in that at bat, he
swung it strike two. It was a cutter away and
that's the way Corbyn Burns was operating last night. After
that strike too, Taoscar took a walk around home plate,
(05:09):
reset himself, and Burns made a huge mistake pitch a
flat slider right down the middle of the plate, which
is basically batting practice, and Oscar Hernandez sent it to
the moon. So that was the literally the only mistake
Corbin Burns made, and Tioscar made him pay for it.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Just like Dave's old friend want a Moon of the
Moon shot David Masse Yeah, our guest at the Real
Underscore DV Dodger, reporter, aficionado and the best of the
best in the city of Los Angeles. So maybe some
perspective for our listeners, Dave, if they sit there and
listen to Tim Neverett and Jose Moda talk for inning
(05:51):
after inning after inning about how overly taxed the bullpen.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Is is that right?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
And how unsustainable it is? Hard? Now maybe it was?
Maybe is that right?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It was Steven Nelson. I'm sorry, Tim, but you know,
people going on and on about this, and then you
get a couple outings where the starters go a lot deeper.
Does that solve the problem or is it something where
they need weeks and weeks of this type of behavior.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
They need weeks and weeks of this type of behavior.
Two games is not going to solve that?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Is well, we don't know, you know, and they're sitting
there calling for it.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
I know, Petros, they've got to get this consistently. I
don't believe it's that much to ask for a starter
to go at least five innings or six innings. And
now here's the part that really complicates matters for the Dodgers.
If they're not going to get solid quality starts all
of a sudden, now their bullpen is really thin. There's
(06:46):
no Evan Phillips, there's no Blake Trining, there's no Kirby Yates.
So basically your two best believers are Alex Vessi and
Tanner Scott. And Ben Casparraus is right there too, but
Dave Roberts uses him in a variety of different ways.
So if you're trying to shorten the game, there's really
not that many options that Dave Roberts has outside of
(07:09):
those three guys and add in Jack Dryer. So that's
why it's even more precarious for the Dodgers starters not
to go deep into games because you don't have a
bullpen at full strength that can cover four or five
innings every single game. And like we talked about yesterday,
(07:29):
if you look at the next two teams that have
the most innings pitched by their bullpen their last place teams,
the White Sox and Marlins. That's not company you want
to be in if you're the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
What about the the Trevino guy. I liked his beard,
I like his style. Look like he was pumping some gas.
Could he be a good option here moving forward?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
I don't know. He doesn't have that reputation, Matt, but
maybe the Dodgers have unlocked something with him, and maybe
he's the next Devin Phillips or the next Anthony. I
don't know. Time will only tell, but I would not
want to put Luke Trevino out there three out of
four nights. That would not be something I would be
(08:11):
comfortable with.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
You mentioned the mistake to tay Oscar. What about a
little bit earlier in that inning with with Shohey and
because man, when he hit it, it looked like that thing
was going to the seventy six station. What happened on
that hit? Did he just get under it? Because it
was hard to tell on TV. I mean, they made
it look like that thing was just gone.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I am so glad you asked that, because I asked
Luis Cruz in the hallway after that inning, like what
was that about? Did he just get under it? He
said no. The the at that prior Burns came inside
and he fouled that ball off his front foot, and
we all know Otani doesn't like the baseball. He doesn't
(08:51):
like it inside. So he pulled off that pitch and
was starting to you know, his butt was going into
the first base dugout, and that's the reason why he
missed it. If he hung in there and just strided
normally towards the picture. He would have hit a home run,
but because of the at that prior, that's the reason
why his butt was headed to the dugout.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
David Vasse is our guest who's on Dodger Talk tonight.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Dave, we got a great show tonight. Petros number one,
our buddy calling me did such a great job of
a highlight montage from the ten game road trip. We
we did it again. We're going to do a highlight
montage of the highlights of this nine game Homestand poor
Hey Castillo from ESPN New York is going to fill
(09:38):
us in on the Juan Soto drama before the Dodgers
get into the city field and.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Is causing drama and for the Mets, there's a lot
of drama.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Tell us give us it up. What we don't know
anything about bone soo.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Yeah, well, number one, in Game two of that series
at Fenway Pac Soto hit a fly ball off the
Green Monster that he thought was going to go over
the Green Monster. Instead it hit off the monster and
he was still standing there with a single instead of
running out of the box. So they were calling him lazy,
(10:15):
and I guess in the last few at bats he's
had here, he's seen fifteen pitches and he hasn't swung
at any of them. And he's not doing the Sodo
shuffle anymore either, so he's not playing with joy. And
everybody in New York is saying that his family pushed
him to sign and chase the money with the Mets
(10:36):
when he wanted to stay with the Yankees. So after
going to New York, he's having the same type of
feelings Freddie Freeman had the first time he went to Atlanta.
So that's the drama, and this will be the first
PTO goes back to City Field after all this.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Wow, Buyer's remorse or I guess Signer's remorse is what
that would be. Right. Don't always chase the money, especially
if you who.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
From the Mats is going to be like Kershaw and
shake Freddy Freeman or Soto in this case and say snap.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Out of that. You can act like I'm that.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I see Brandon Nimo doing that, and he doesn't have
a fancy handshake with Pete Alonzo like he had with
Aaron Judge.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Though what about Lindor Tough I did not know about that.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Kenn into all that with Jorge Castillo and you guys,
remember I'm nostalgic, So I'm bringing it back from twenty
twenty the COVID shows my interview with Eric Davis and
Darryl Strawberry since the straw owned Flushing Queens out there,
So we're going to bring it back tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Flushing Meadows, David Vasse, Ladies and gentlemen. Piazza, dude, let's
talk some Dodgers mets with Piazza.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Won't He won't do any Dodger affiliated show.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Not that easy of a get. Remember he went after
Vince Scully. None of us are over it. Exactly right, Matt,
exactly right.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Dave.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Have you noticed any different in the clubhouse now that
them dudes are gone, like a different vibe or is
it just.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Business as usual now that who's gone, you know, Taylor,
the Rata Tree, and and and Austin Barnes.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Yeah, no, I don't feel like that. You know Barnes,
he was a presence, right, He was a presence in
the dugout in the clubhouse. He was a guy that
would really help some of the younger pitchers even when
they were going through struggles. He was he was a
really good teammate in that respect because he was a catcher.
(12:34):
Chris Taylor was always quiet, kept to himself, so I
wouldn't say that there's some vocal uh vacuum that is
missing right now. But those two guys played. Taylor played
over a thousand games for the Dodgers. Barnes played his
entire career with the Dodgers and the Majors. So they
(12:55):
were really important role players that unfortunately father time caught
up with.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Is Will Smith well rested now since he took his
bibble head day off?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
He's okay now, Yes, so he got yesterday off, today off,
so he should be ready to go for three night
games in New York.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Perfect.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
The rushing's favorite player Mike Piazza, so I'm sure he
would love to play in New York.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, but that being said, piazza bitterness toward the Dodgers, Hey,
take it out on Fred Claire and leave us alone.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
You should gift him a copy of that New York
Post on the back page where it says I'm not
day because he's not. One of the better headlines we've
ever seen in the history of guys.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Of bringing up Piazza because today is the anniversary of
the Marlins trading Piazza to the Mets to complete we
know the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (13:47):

Speaker 2 (15:53):
One more time we.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Have the place.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Some more elaborate tapping on that other song. All right,
it's time for the what it says right here? What
do you want from me, Matt? What Ta's an American
Pacific Islander night. I want you just to read it.
I did. I want you to. I don't want you
to say island or I want you to say island.
It rained down on me. What you want to say
Pacific islander. It's spelled e y e dash lander uh landerland.
(16:38):
Don't start a riot with the islanders.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
It wasn't about the white man. It wasn't about the Mexican.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Three things? Is your wife white? Because if she is,
you've better shut your face. What if I got a
white bastard? Oh, someone did some sniffing. I know something
about Shimon. Somebody was sniff sniffing around three things. How'd
(17:08):
you watch outfield right now? We watched a little bit
of it in the sweet yesterday, Pee listened to a
little bit of it on the way home, and then
watched a little bit of it, a lot of it
after I arrived at the homestead. The national sports media,
and then it just kept going beyond ecstatic, beyond ecstatic
(17:30):
with the New York Knicks finding their way into the
Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in twenty five years,
literally twenty five years, which when you think about the
largest media market in America, I know we've had lean
years here and there with the Lakers. After their back
to back two thousand and nine twenty ten titles, things
(17:52):
got sideways for a while, mostly thanks to Strawberry pancakes. Ultimately,
you played Magic Johnson. Well, I just assumed that if
anybody was scouting and listening to people like Don McClain
when they joined us on the show, and we're talking
about Jason Tatum and Dut Dut Dut Dyarin. What does
don know instead of taking a guy who you were
(18:15):
convinced would be the future face of your franchise because
his dad was making strawberry pancakes for you and your
brother in your Chino Hills home. I got a little
sideways there.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
They did get the Mickey Mouse Championship in twenty twenty.
They did have the best record in the league that year,
even though it was a June the third style season.
But I think it is important for us to acknowledge
that the Lakers navigated a situation that completely and totally
mentally unraveled the Clippers from which they never recovered, never recovered.
(18:53):
I guess that's fair to say so, even though it
was a Mickey Mouse title, the Clippers unraveled so badly
that with the second best record in the league, they
were never able to reclire. It was so great why
they fire Frank Vogel exactly right, And of course they
made it back to a conference final a couple of
years later. But so great why they fired Darman Half
(19:14):
Because he had that weird thing on his head that
you kept making fun of him. People were like I
can't take my hed been shot. I can't listen to
him coach because I am focused on his head. Outside
of that incredibly disappointing seven years with Lebron James, it
is Los Angeles. We expect a team that has the
brand recognition of the Lakers to be good year in
and year out. Uh, that free agents would want to
(19:37):
come here, would want to play here, would maybe want
to take less to where to don the forum blue
and gold. But I think many would argue that the
Knicks have always boasted that they in fact have the
number one destination in the NBA for big name players.
That has never for all of the Laker myopia in
the off season about oh we don't get this guy
(19:59):
and we're going to trade for this. Yeah, it does happen,
like it does happen. Yeah they end up here. Yeah,
Lebron j and Lucas the Laker. The NBA makes it happen. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I mean it used to be Jerry West beating the
bushes right and fighting masks off to get Shack and
figuring out how to get Kobe. Then it became, hey,
get Anthony Davis here and we'll give you the first
pick you can get Zion and hey, get Luca here.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
We'll give you the first pick. You can get Cooper
flag because white people love Texas and Texas love white people.
Hey for that conversation at you keep scrolling. What I'm
saying is nobody in the history of professional sports has
boasted that they are going to land the big Fish
(20:47):
because they will want to cement their all time legacy
as one of the greats while playing their home games
in Madison Square Garden. Like the Knicks. It is it
is never happened, unreal, it never happened. Never Mychael Jordan,
Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Grant Hill, Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant
shows the Brooklyn Nets chose to live in the city
(21:11):
of New York and play for the Brooklyn Nets over
the Knicks. It was going to be lebron and all
of them turned their back for whatever reason. Maybe they
didn't want to mix business with pleasure. They love JD
in the Straight Shot so much and would ruin their
audio experience. That's part of it.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
I think, you know the pressure of the New York
Niche sure, it's not like they've had any success since
Pat Ewing and he never won.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Anything twenty five years since they've been in the conference,
never won a title. Yeah, made it to two finals.
But and then you look at this particular group and
the construction of this team that is being celebrated, albeit
kicking them a little bit while they're down right now
after blowing a seventeen point fourth quarter league and like
allowing nine freaking points in fifty seconds turn it off.
(22:00):
Took me here quite some time to decipher what had happened. Later,
this game is over.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
I saw the choking. I tried to read the score.
I saw that it was over. Then I saw it
wasn't over.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
What happened? Wait?
Speaker 5 (22:10):
What?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, it was kind of like that. I do understand
why it's being celebrated when when the other three teams
are from Indianapolis, Minneapolis and those carpetbaggers that stole a
squad from Seattle and dropped them into the dust bowl
of Oklahoma City.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Tom jodes favorite team, the Holma City Thunder. Why not
root for the big town? Well, it's all the d
they've got, and they got to lean all the way
in and New York people are not easy to root for.
I mean, you got John Ham sitting out there. The
weird thing is they are not the mailbox hands. Yes,
their sports fans are annoying. Their brand of sports talk
(22:48):
could not be any different than our brand of sports talk.
I guess that's mostly more successful as well.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
No doubt. But I found, and we say it all
the time. Your heart will tell you. I found that
it's an easy team to root for. Who the Knicks? Yeah,
well the Jalen puffy face Bronce puffy face brunts. He's
really great. Yeah, he's fantastic. And then all the guys
that the Lakers let go, and God blessed Tom Thibodeau
for now. You love Thibodeau. You're a tip guy from
(23:18):
Long and Me, and you were one of the first
guy to say TIBs TIBs. You know, you really picked
up on that nickname. Love tips and you said it
a lot. Hey, TIBs is gonna play a physical brand.
I might say we had a is TIBs getting heavy
with the minutes? TIBs is getting heavy with the minutes.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Some might say we had a little bit of a
lopsided Chicago Bulls coverage. Love TIBs around here based on
you know, defense is playing on a string.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Right now. Guys.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Love what Derek Rose, Look what Tips is doing. Joe
Kim Noahs, great player, guys.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
It is a brand of basketball that, perhaps due to
my age, that I can appreciate as it has pushed
back against what I think is as response.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
To playing relevant basketball, playing kick ass basketball people around
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I like seeing Julius Randall. Ju Randall do exactly right
from Minnesota, you know, busting people up. It's fun. Tibbs
wants to beat the crapaud you. He wants to play
an inside, outside game. He's not obsessed with three pointers.
He's got no issues with mid range jumpers. His guys
are not running the other direction the second their opponent
is putting up a wide open three. They want rebounds.
(24:23):
They're going to play basketball with a style that we appreciate,
and Anthony Mason and Charles Oakley style, Larry Johnson style
of basketball. Shout out to the X man, Xavier McDaniel exactly.
I was about to say, McKinney, my football brain got
sideways on me. There, McDaniel style of basketball. And as
(24:44):
much as it pains me to say it, with his
stupid face and his puffy cheeks, a John Starks brand
of basketball is what's being played out there. Not a
wise man, Yes you had experience, I believe with that,
and really not a good basketb football player, like really
had no business being in the state NBA starting talking
(25:05):
about Starks like that. He really did not have knocked
it on Jordan's head, right, It was just kind of
like a pat Riley. Hey, the referees are going to
let you just freaking punch this guy in the ribs
for forty minutes and to start Pat Beverly of our generation,
that's a great point. He really get under your skin.
And when that shot went up, that Halliburton shot and
(25:25):
it boomed off the back of that rim, where was
your heart? Because my heart was hoping it was a miss.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
My heart was on the telephone with a Pop Warner
football coach, like what you run the veer?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Are you kidding me that you might have been talking
to Izzy? Or that was the way I talked to
Izzy on the way home. That's last night.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
And then I took the call from the Pop Warner
football coach and it was my duty to tell you
that I talked to Izzy.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
She wanted you to tell me that you talked to her. Yes,
I appreciate it, and you two kids, Kate, you want
to weigh in on that, he said, No, I was
hoping it was gonna rim out. Man, these Nicks, I'll
tell you, you realize quickly that it doesn't matter if they win,
It does not matter if they lose. Just as long
as they are playing, they are going to be the
(26:11):
center of the conversation. They are going to be the
star and all of the planets that surround it. It is.
We're talking Nicks. And when we come back, we're going
to talk some Nicks. And then later in the show,
we're going to bring on a guest that is going
to talk about Dunnis And.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
In the very next segment we're going to talk about
what Stephen A. Smith said about what the Knicks should do.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
They should be so embarrassed, they should be humiliated. It's easy, dude.
I don't know if you know this, but in the NBA,
it's a cliche. It's a game of runs. Guys misshots
a get run outs. This dude is making freaking three points.
(26:58):
Nest Smith or nests Well Slivanson. Yeah, that guy bes bit.
It's just like bang bang, Yeah, thats bit. No, I
know Nestsmith ploy Bean. Sorry no, hey, that's neither relevant
to this conversation. The one thing that they don't have
going for them the mix. Yeah, well, other than a
(27:20):
win in Game one, Yeah, other than blowing a seventeen
point fourth quarter lead in the Game one of the
Eastern Conference Finals to their bitter Eastern Conference Final rival.
Like so many teams in the NBA, including the two
we have here in town thanks to trades that stripped
them of all their draft picks, is there's no homegrown talent.
These Knicks are barely Knicks. It is as wild as
(27:40):
anything you've ever seen. Only one of their rotation players
was actually drafted by the Knicks, Mitchell Robinson, and he
plays eighteen minutes a game and had one of the
worst defensive lapses you will ever see last night in
that contest. Brunson free agent, third year with New York
after four years in Dallas. Karl Anthony Towns number one
pick A Minnesota nine years A and I always hate
(28:03):
making it a singular. It's weird. Nine years a timber Wolf,
one year a Nick acquired via trade, og Anenobi, six
years a Raptor, two years a Nick Michale Bridges five years,
a son, one year a Net now in his first
year with the Knicks, again acquired via trade, and of
(28:23):
course someone we're very familiar with Josh hart Laker for
his first two seasons before being shipped off the New
Orleans and the Anthony Davis trade, played in Portland, and
now a Nick in his third season of an eight
year career. It's a bunch of dudes that have played
longer somewhere else than in New York, yet they have
an opportunity to become the most beloved Nick team my Knicks.
(28:49):
Jaylen Brunson rescued us from the depths of hell than
any Nick. So glad that John Hamm and Lenny Kravitz
can be happy. That is one of the more aner
taining parts of this is the die hard Nick fans
call it. It's celebrity Nick fans calling out the non
die Sudacas. I saw Warren hard. They're like, get Sudeacas
(29:15):
out of here, go see a Caitlin Carr game. Sudecas
is a Brooklyn Net fan. Get out of here, you hipster.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Killing who's down there in Indiana? I mean, is Captain
Andrew Lock's going to be there?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
You know Andrew and James. Oh, it's gonna be incredible.
Vonte Davis, both the Davis brothers. Oh uh. By the way,
how about that twenty twenty draft with Tyrese Haliburton courtesy
of our friend Don McLain, twelfth overall pick. A real
kick in the balls if you look at it as
(29:49):
a team that drafted ahead of them, the worst case
of which is the Golden State Warriors, who had the
number two overall pick that year, remember, and they were like,
you can't put LaMelo Ball on the same team as Steff.
It doesn't make any sense. So they drafted a guy
by the name of James Weissman, one of my people.
He lasted like two years and was most recently an
(30:10):
NBA pacer and is out of the league. Killian Hayes
to the Pistons. He's in the G League. The Knicks
took Obi Toppin, who had that big dunk last night
and is a pacer now Stella Burt and he's playing
against him with his big arms and his tattoos.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Great rider, Bernie Topping, I'm surprised to see him out there,
of high flying.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
It's wild. I never thought Bernie Toping could play above
the rim. You put a pair of high tops on
him and he's a rocking man. It's amazing. Goodbye yellow
brick Road, Hello the Lane. Let me simply wrap it
up with this, p Lakers are no different. That's why
people love Austin Reefs so much. Got a bunch of
basketball mercenaries out there. And of course, what would be
(30:52):
a three Things Thursday talking basketball without crapping on Lebron?
What is Lebron? How will you identify him? If these
players win the NBA title with the Knicks, they will
forever be Nicks. Lebron Eleven seasons in Cleveland, one title,
a couple trips to the NBA finals, four years in Miami,
four trips to the NBA Finals, two titles, seven years
(31:15):
a Laker, one trip to a Mickey Mouse NBA Championship
in a bubble.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Let me tell you this, Nobody in Miami likes Lebron anymore. Okay,
so that's out La. People I think are done with him.
There are still some true believers in Ohio and they
can't be helped.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Lebron. You'll always have the Cavs. You'll always have Ohio.
It is while go on back, not a bad idea.
There's still time maybe Brisle Juan you good luck to
my knicks. Good luck to the Knicks.
Speaker 4 (31:46):

Speaker 4 (34:39):
We had a long talk about teen Wolf earlier in

and famous Emmanuelacho twitter rant regarding the Ryan Clark r
G three White wife conversation. Can't criticize Angel Reese because
you've got some white You can't talk about what that foul,
(35:01):
if that was a hard foul or not, because you're

Speaker 2 (36:01):
That's for you. Well, that really changed the tone.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yeah, because we were talking about white guys winning and
now we've got inclusive. We're inclusive.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
We turn our attention to our Asian American Pacific world.
The place, well said Matt.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
In this world.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
We all.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
The place in this world. You like Ibanezer Scrooge, Matt,
I get through that heart exterior. You love being inclusive
with the Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. I know you do. Yeah,
because we're winners. I want winners and that includes the
(36:48):
Romani's and Creoles. We don't want to leave anybody behind. Nope,
not a what.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Don't forget to tell Money that we talked last night,
pee and tell them we need to do lunch. That
is from Isabelle ibarra I figured Petros and Money super listener.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Who breached your block? She did?
Speaker 4 (37:08):
Did you unblock her? Or did she find a way
to breach your block. Did she get a new phone number? No.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
I think somehow she was put in the blocked messages
folder and I popped that open and then unblocked her
because she taught me how to unblock her, so I
unblocked her. Maybe I'll give her a call on the
way home tonight. Terrible news, Matt. The secret text does
a fine brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers.
(37:35):
We make it easy.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
It has just been brought to my attention that the
man of the hour, the guy everybody wants to hang
out with j Cuddy. No, but that was earlier today,
Tyrese Halliburton, right of the Indiana Pacers and Rick Carlisle's
great coaching. Terrible news, Matt. He's not having those kind
(37:56):
of conversations at home. His girlfriend has made appearance on
the court in Madison Square Garden. Jade Jones is her name,
and she's white. Longtime partner Bow She is white Boow
so he's team RGI three and she tweeted out last
night boo or put out on Instagram. Posted last night
(38:19):
after Halliburton's big shot went in. She wrote, finally got
to see the ball drop in nyc Ah. That's clever,
referencing the Pacers eventual one hundred and thirty eight to
one hundred and thirty five victory in overtime, a historic
comeback for the Pacers.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Yeah, I believe she's white Team Archie three. And you
know what else? I saw Shay Gilgess, Alexander's wife who
he got emotional about thanking when he won the MVP
Award for all his flopping. Like James Harden, you want
to take a little guess about her?
Speaker 4 (39:00):
White damn night, every damn white.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
I never thought that we would be drawing lines like this, Matt.
But you and I are not the ones that make
the rules. No, I'm just following the instruction of someone
who posted a very compelling video on Twitter. The Nicku
are the first team in the NBA Playoffs to lose,
having been up fourteen points with two forty five remaining.
It had never happened before. Teams were nine hundred ninety
(39:32):
four and zero in that situation. They are now nine
hundred ninety four and one, up fourteen with two forty
five to go. I feel bad for the people in
New York. Do you know how much I love them?
I can't do anything. I've locked myself in my room.
No phone, no TV, no newspaper, no radio. I can't
(39:55):
take it, I can't believe it.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
Well, good luck to everybody on the Eastern seaboard. Petros
