Trey Falco behind the board and behind the mic as always,
as we get ready for another fantastic week in sports weekend,
I should say in sports and especially Memorial Day weekend,
(01:23):
you have the Indy five hundred, and I have some
interesting stats about the NDY five hundred that I want
to talk about in a little bit.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Okay, in the day of Rundown.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I was blown away, and I continuously get blown away
with stats. And I know we talk about it that
stats don't tell all the story, and I harp on that,
but you do have to take certain things in context.
So I'm going to share some stats about the Indy
five hundred that I think you're gonna say, Wow, You're
going to be not I wouldn't say overwhelmed, but it's
(01:56):
more so whelmed, like how in the hell is that?
Those type of stats, that's what we're gonna talk about.
And we obviously had some of that the other night
with the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks game.
It's a good game, Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals,
and we have Game two of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight.
As we saw Game two in the Western Conference Finals,
(02:19):
this is looking like OKC. This is looking like as
an OKC team that they've got things in rhythm right now,
they're rolling still.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Just have to pump the brakes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Everybody wants to go ahead and say Minnesota is done,
But isn't this the way it was supposed to go.
The home team's gonna win the first two games at home,
that's just how it's supposed to go. And then now
you go on the road and it's going to be
a little bit more difficult.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
If OKC comes out this weekend and takes care of
business in Game three in Minnesota, yeah, then you're going
to need to worry because I don't know if they'll
even be able to get one or two games out
of that series for Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
If OKAC goes up three to zero.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Right well, and I'm already seeing the crazy thing to
me I saw earlier. Can the Knicks save their season tonight?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
They're down one, they're down one game, But it does
feel bigger, okay, based on how the game ended, and
we talked about it, how miraculous it was for Indiana
to be able to win that game, and we talked
about some of the stats, and we were watching here
in studio on the TV, just reiterating some of those stats,
(03:36):
especially when you're looking at how Indiana the first team
to be able to come back the way they did,
especially trailing in certain situations. And again since nineteen ninety eight,
teams that trailed by nine or more points in the
final minute of the fourth quarter or overtime were er
(03:57):
in one thousand, four hundred and fourteen, not a lot,
And now you can say one in ony four hundred
and fourteen because the Pacers, the yes sirs, oh yeah,
they were able to showcase that there's always a chance
and you never know what's going to happen. And now
(04:17):
the question, though, is it's the choke job of the
year discussion. And I loved what you and John were
talking about yesterday on Game On, And if you weren't listening,
make sure you check in today at four pm Game
On with John Ellis and he'll be with you until
six pm through drive time. But I loved the conversation
about the question of the day. Yeah, and you know,
(04:40):
what's the biggest choke job in sports?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Right? And so it got me thinking about that too.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So John, I appreciate you letting me steal some content
today here to open up the show, because I was
really intrigued by that question because I had started thinking
about it also based on what all the narratives that
we were hearing, yeah, from this Indiana game, and as
I started thinking about some of the big biggest choke jobs,
(05:06):
and I want to go over some of those that
I remember, and I'd love to get the listeners, the
investors in the show each day your thoughts as well,
so you can join the conversation. Eight six y four
two four zero five four eight zero. Again that number
is eight six four two four zero five four eight zero.
But there's also something about when you're talking about choke
(05:29):
jobs and how it plays out. Is it that one
team chokes or did the opponent just pull off something legendary.
It's a good question, and that's what I'm trying to
figure out. And so is it that blurred line between
choking and getting out played at the end in the
(05:52):
clutch moments?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And so I view it as it's either a choke
or a clutch moment, And so we can define at
least how I'm going to define a chokekay is when
a team or a player fails to perform under pressure,
collapsing in those moments despite a clear advantage.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I like that. I think that's pretty I agree, and
I think we saw some of that.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Yeah, and that Nick Samp They had a clear advantage.
They were up by fourteen points, right, you got to
win that game. Yeah, you do to win that game.
But you think about the choke.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
It's the unforced errors, it's the panic decisions, it's shrinking
in the moment. That's when you think about choking. On
the flip side of that, the clutch moments, that's when
an opponent rises to the occasion having some type of
extraordinary play that might steal the win, either through their
skill or just the grit, determination, the grind, or even
(06:50):
just some of the brilliance that we see, and at
that moment being able to capitalize on the mistakes of
the other team. Yep as well. So it's this blurred line.
So like a question when we look at a big
choke job in the world of sports, the Atlanta Falcons
(07:11):
twenty eight to three in Super Bowl fifty one. Was
that the Falcons choking in that situation or was that
Tom Brady just being Tom Brady and somehow getting the
Patriots a Super Bowl victory.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, and that's where we're wanting to go with some
of these because there's the psychology of choking. It's the
pressure that we talked about overthinking, it's losing focus, and
then that loss of focus leads to some of the
physical miscues. Yeah, those things that you sometimes you can't explain.
(07:49):
And then again you contrast that with those clutch performances.
Its seasoned the moment, with those high skilled opportunities, because
now all of a sudden, they are laser focused, they
are in the moment and they're almost ignoring all of
the outside noise. And that takes a special situation. Oh
(08:12):
it does. And so again, do you have to have both?
Do you have to have a downfall, a choke combined
with a legendary performance or is it going to be
one or the other. I think there's a combination. I
think that in some of these situations. Because let's take
(08:32):
a look at the Pacers in Knicks game right all right?
In that one, can we say for certain that it
was New York that choked that game away or did
the Pacers just do something.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Legendary and just went on a tear. I mean, Aaron.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Smith was six or six from the three point line
in a matter of three minutes. He scored twenty points
in three minutes. Right, that's one player. I mean, that's
type of legendary type of things. Now, the Knicks they
had some unforced errors and they missed free throws down
the stretch. So yeah, so you can look at that also,
(09:09):
But I just wonder how much of that is just
craziness of what Indiana was able to do and capitalize
on some of those errors because they could have missed
those shots.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Could have yeah, but they didn't.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And Haliburton shot well.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I saw the stats.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
It bounced almost eight feet in the air because I
remember you talking about that. It looked hi, Yeah, it
was seven point two three inches in the air and
it hung in the air for one point three seconds.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, I mean lifetime.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, that's insane when you think about it. So again,
how clutch was that versus there's some luck involved also,
And how much do you pinpoint on that with the
Nicks choking in that situation.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
See, I might have a little bit of a different
opinion of this because to me, like when I think
of like if it's if it's a choke job, I
don't picture the other team or the other player, if
it's golf or whatever it is, tennis, whatever the circumstances are,
I don't picture the opponent doing anything legendary. Like to me,
a choke would be like the opponent's doing well, you know,
they're playing up to their standard, but you're just have
(10:18):
such a far ahead advantage and then all of a
sudden you start making those mistakes and you start doing
the little things and you fall apart. And I think,
to me, but I also think you could have both.
I think both can be true. Two things can be
true at the same time. We've talked about that. Yeah,
plenty of times.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Okay, So here's one two thousand and four ALCS. Yeah,
New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. New York is
up three to zero in the series.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
That's done. Yeah, that's over. Yeah right right off.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Boston has to win four games in a row to
win that series. And we already know that Boston the
curse that they have, yeah, and especially against their nemesis,
the New York Yankees.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
But they were able to somehow poise this.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Comeback and set the stage for what we would say
in baseball one of the greatest comebacks in history, winning
four straight. So how much of that was the Yankees
choking there versus the Red Sox grabbing the moment, right,
And I think it's a combination. I think I think
(11:26):
the Yankees did implode with their pitching. They just didn't
have the same type of pitching the next four games.
And even Marion or Rivera, he wasn't the same type
of closer in that series for the last four games.
And I think that you had David Ortiz stealing the show.
And I think there's something to be said that. I
think it's a combination with the both of those. All Right,
(11:48):
how about this nineteen ninety six Masters, This is such
an easy one, yeah, to go to in terms of
a choke job or was it a clutch performance?
Speaker 3 (11:59):
We know the story.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Greg Norman led nine, led by six strokes entering the
final round and shot a seventy eight and he loses
to Nick Falgo Nick Faldo. But Nick Faldo shot a
sixty seven right that day, he shot five under par.
So if Faldo just shoots par, they go into a playoff.
(12:22):
So again, when you look at it, though, based on
what we were seeing and Greg Norman the lead that
he had, because it also he shot to seventy eight
on Sunday, but on Saturday it shot a seventy three,
So he's won over on that Saturday. Yeah, so it
(12:45):
was already somewhat starting before that final round on Sunday,
And so I think it's easy to pinpoint in that
situation that's more of a choke right there, because he
was so fall are out of the norm shooting a
seventy eight right over par you know there, And but
(13:08):
also Faldo sees the moment as well, But I would
define that one more of a choke uh than Faldo
a clutch performance, although that was still pretty clutch for Faldo.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I also have to wonder too, like when you're talking
about choke jobs, like I guess, because it all comes
down to what what's going on up here in your head?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Right?
Speaker 4 (13:30):
And there has to be, at least in my my opinion,
there has to be some sort of some sort of
turning point that has to happen. And to your point
talking about seizing the moment and these clutch plays and
doing something legendary, at what point does a team just
start to fall apart without any sort of outside stimuli,
(13:51):
Like there has to be something going on in them
going oh wait a minute, whoa why are they playing
so good all of a sudden, and then they start
thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
It starts, and I think that could trigger the.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Choke, the confidence that you lose in yourself. That sounds
like an eminem song, right, you lose yourself?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
There is something that we see with teams and for
whatever reason, and we identify it as the snowball effect. Yes,
things just start happening and you can't stop it, just
like a team scoring and scoring and somehow just everything
seems to be going right for them and everything is
(14:30):
wrong for the other team.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
And as a fan, we've.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
All been there on one side or the other yep,
and we've been able to celebrate it and say we
don't know what the hell's going on. We'll love it though,
And on the other side, what's going on? Make this stop?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
You know? So there is both sides of that, and
so I think of this one. Also.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
How about this nineteen ninety five NBA Finals Game one
to Nick Anderson, the Orlando Magic Hen's Houston Rockets and
the Orlando led one ten to one oh seven with
ten seconds to go in the game. Oh wow, So
Nick Anderson he's going to the free throw line and
(15:11):
looking basically to ice the game. So he has two
free throws, misses the first, misses the second one, but
gets his own rebound somehow gets his own rebound and
gets fouled going up again. So now he's going back
to the free throw line and he misses both free
(15:32):
throws again, and then in the last two seconds of
the game, Kenny Smith ties the game with a three
point shot and it goes into overtime and the Magic
ultimately lose that game.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Is that a choke job?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I mean, miss four free throws and it feels like
to me, that's all I think you get at least one.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You've got to make one before, right, and so that
would be more of a choke job.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
But again.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Nothing not that it was spectacular, but it's also at
the end of the game, the time is running out
in Kenny Smith in that moment seizes the moment, yeah,
and makes the three point shot, right, you know, So
there was a a play where he was able to
(16:25):
seize the moment. So maybe there's again a combination, but
I think ultimately Kenny Smith not even in that situation
if thank you, Yeah, Nick Anderson doesn't make all those
free throws.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
If he makes one free throw.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
It doesn't matter, right, I was gonna say, to your
point the fact about a combination, Yeah, he wouldn't even
have a chance if one free throw gets made.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
And if you could think I would, I would.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I wonder how many games that have happened that we've
watched that we could be on the flip side of that, where,
oh we could we could call.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
It a choke job.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
If they didn't make the one free thrust, if they
didn't make the three pointer, if they didn't do this,
if they didn't do that. There's a lot that could
be on the other side of that that we could
be talking about.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Man, oh what a choke job. Oh, there's no doubt.
And that's why the margin is so small in these games.
You think about, you know, all of the plays that happened,
and you the cumulative effect of all these plays, and
then how many times it comes down to what we
would identify. We want to say it came down to
this one play, but it's not. It came down to
(17:30):
this one missed opportunity, this one choke moment. But there's
plenty of other moments that happened in.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
The first quarter. Yep, that's you know, or the first half.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
So we've got to be careful as far as how
we define. But I do believe there's something to be
said that in a lot of these situations it's a combination. Yeah,
it's choked, I can agree with, and it's clutch performance.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Let us know your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
So eight six four two four zero five four eight
zero and let's head out.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
To the hot line right now, the Richmond Weavers show.
Who's this?
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Hey, this is Sean.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
How you doing doing fantastic? Sean? How about yourself? Sir?
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Good?
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Good, first time caller, longtime listener.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
I did want to touch a little bit on the
Tom Brady situation against the Falcon.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yes, I think.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
I think what what made that special is that even
though the Falcons could have made the right calls, you know,
defensively and probably run out the clock, but Tom Brady,
even though he was down twenty eight to three, kept
that MVP state of mind and never let off the gas,
(18:41):
and so he was able to take advantage of all
those all those bad calls by the defensive coordinator. Yes,
so it was one of those combos you're talking about.
It took the greatest quarterback of all time to do it,
because I don't think anybody else would long in there.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, now yeah, think about this, Sean. This is that's
what's so interesting. Tom Brady four hundred and sixty six
yards in that game, five touchdowns within that comeback, and
remember he.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Threw the pick six.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
So there's that mindset of as a quarterback, how do
you have that amnesia?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Oh yeah, to forget about that.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
And what you just described, Sean, is that that's what
made Tom Brady so great that he was in that
pressure type of moment and you think that he falters,
and he did for a brief moment, but was able
to flush that out of his memory and then took
advantage based on what Atlanta was giving there in the
(19:38):
second half and the comeback of the century.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
Right. And there's one other just fact I want to
put out there is when they lost to the Eagles,
the Patriots lost to the Eagles. I don't know you
guys probably know this, but Tom Brady threw for the
most yards ever in a playoff game, Super Bowl anything.
It was like five hundred forty yards he threw against
(20:03):
in that loss to the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yes, sir, yesu, Sean, I love it. Yes, you can
join us here on the nerd side with these stats.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
But anyway, thanks for taking Yeah, thank.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
You, Sean.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
We always appreciate you call any time, Sean and come
loaded with stats.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You always welcome with stats. We do love that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
But there is again that points to what we were
just talking about, Trey, is that taking advantage of the moment,
and you've got to be able to recognize the clutch
performance by some of these athletes versus just washing away
that oh the choke job, right, that's right, yes, Oh
(20:50):
they were so lucky. You know that, there's no way
that should have ever happened, you know, those type of things.
And that's why just looking at again some of these
even like Golden State Warriors twenty sixteen in the NBA
Finals against Cleveland. They're up three to zero, I mean
three to one in that series. And this is a team,
(21:13):
the Golden State Warriors, who set the NBA record of
seventy three wins in the season.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Wow, they only lost nine times the entire season, and
they're up three to one in the.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Finals and Lebron James and the Cavs they make a
stoic come back. Now you also have to predicate that
Draymond Green gets ejected from a game and then is
not allowed to play the next game.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
And so that was a.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Big reason why Cleveland was able to get a victory
because you didn't have Draymond Green in Game five. And again,
is it based on what Lebron James and Kyrie Irving
were able to do? The block that Lebron James had
as he tracks down Iguadala and then also Kyrie Irving
(22:06):
hitting the big shot where Steph Curry and Klay Thompson
were missing some of their three pointers that they normally make.
And I do believe, and that's the moments you're talking about,
is the other team they start feeling the pressure, oh
have to and they start start thinking about it, and
then the other team's like, oh, Lucy goosey.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Let's go and let's play.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Oh we could do this, Yes, And I think that's
what happened in that game. And I do believe in
that game though the Warriors did choke in that situation
because they were the much better team. They shouldn't have
been in that situation. And I think there as the
momentum started going, they couldn't corral it there and Kyrie
(22:50):
Irving took advantage of hitting a big shot. You can
join the conversation, though, let us know your biggest choke
job in sports and was it a joke job or
was there a clutch performance that was part of it?
Eight six four two four zero five four eight zero.
We've got some college football news to talk about right
(23:11):
after this. NBA playoffs continue tonight the Pacers and the Knicks,
Game two of the Eastern Conference Finals eight pm on TNT.
Make sure you get ready for that as we have
a jam packed weekend of sports as we will continue
with the Western Conference Finals later this weekend on Saturday
(23:33):
eight thirty pm ABC, as Oklahoma City will travel to
Minnesota as they are up two to zero in that series.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
And we didn't even talk about.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Sga winning the MBA MVP and it was an easy win,
but it wasn't as wide as I thought it was
going to be. As far as the gap between him
and Yokich, it was a little bit closer than I thought,
based on again what we're hearing. You know, Oh, it's Sga, right,
you know, led the league in scoring, you know all that,
(24:05):
he's got his team number one seed. Yeah, and as
we've had Jason Temp a host of Hoops Tonight on
each Wednesday, he talked about it this past Wednesday and
he was pretty blunt that, oh, yeah, Sga is going
to get it. But still, Jokich is the best player
in the NBA right right, So it's not always about
the best player getting the award that particular year. And
(24:29):
that's why I'm still amazed that Michael Jordan didn't win
it every single year that he was in the NBA.
Right now, you could maybe discount when he was in Washington.
I do understand that, and you also can say that, well,
there are other performances for that particular year that a
player was more valuable for his team than Michael Jordan.
(24:53):
And I understand that, Okay, So I will give you that.
What I struggle with, though, and this is a big one,
is that and I'm a huge Steph Curry fan. And
this is not to disparage that Steph Curry was the
first player to win an NBA MVP by unanimous decision. Yeah,
(25:17):
I just don't think he should have been the first.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I think Michael Jordan should have been the first.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And there's probably even some others back in the day
that maybe at that particular time. And that's where I
get frustrated with some of these voters, especially when you're
looking at even like for Major League Baseball in the
Hall of Fame. They're either Hall of Fame or they're
not right, you know, yeah, if you have to punish them,
And how can you not have somebody that's brilliant in
(25:48):
their game, a legend in.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Their particular game.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
And like when you look at like a player in
Major League Baseball and they don't get a unanimous vote
just because oh no, we can't do that. Nobody gets
in unanimously. No, We've got to have one person dissent,
and I just that just drives me crazy. So even
with the NBA MVP Award back in the day, you
(26:16):
can't tell me Michael Jordan couldn't win it unanimously and.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
It's just that, oh no, we can't do that. Exactly
have to vote. That's human condition.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
People have their biases and people I don't like Michael,
So I'm just gonna vote for literally anybody.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Else that's Michael Jordan, and that absolutely drives me crazy.
As we continue this Friday edition of the Richmond Weaver
Show presented by Ingles Markets. You can join the conversation
eight six four two four zero five four a zero
and let's head out to the Ingles hot line right now,
The Richmond Weaver Show.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Who's this?
Speaker 6 (26:46):
That's Brody guys.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
What's happening Brody Man? How are you, sir? On this
wonderful Friday.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
I'm doing good man, Trey, get the Nerdler button ready. Yes,
I have to talk about the game the other night,
the Knicks and the Pacers. I don't understand when you're
going down the stretch and you they want they get
the ball to Jalen Brunton. They run, they want to
(27:13):
run the pick and roll with Kat, but they're trapping
on the pick and roll. They're headge and tight trapping
off of it. Rich When you being a coach, what
do you do when you want to get the ball
to your best player but they're trapping on the pick
and roll. What's the first thing.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
You're going to do?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Well, I'm going to slip that that trap right there
is what I'm going to do to get the player of.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
The ball exactly. Or if you want Jaylen Brunton to
have the ball, you have to play him off the ball, yes,
to get him in the sets you want. When they're
trapping it and killing it, I can't understand why they
kept going to it, kept going to it, kept going
to it, and just that to me, that was such
a And I know Tis is a great coach. I
(27:57):
love TIBs, but to me, that was such an easy fit, yes,
for them to keep rolling that same thing out there
getting killed those.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, And there's there's been discussion about that too, Brody,
uh that I've been reading, and because Kad and Brunson
are such a good pick and roll combo and they
were having success earlier in the game, but Indiana wasn't
trapping earlier in the game. And then so when they
made that adjustment, TIBs didn't make his adjustment. And that
can come down to the coaching side of things, where
(28:27):
we even talked about and pressure situations.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Coaches have to perform as well. It's not just the players.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
You have to put your players in a potentially better situation,
and TIBs didn't do that, Brody.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
And that is also a flaw in the team building
side of the knit, because who do you want to
have the ball? If you got to have Jalen Brunson
off the ball.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, and because there's nobody else there. Yeah, there's nobody
else out there, it's you. Brunson has to have the
ball in his hand.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
We know that.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Okay. So that brings me to the game last night. Now,
if that wasn't the most high school defensive set I've
ever seen in a NBA Game five OKC, which was brilliant.
They're basically leaving three in the paint, yes, playing everybody up,
playing drunk coverage making, making the Wars not the Warriors.
(29:24):
The Timberwolves throw skip passes to make other guys beat them.
And they couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
They couldn't do it.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
They couldn't not do it.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, And we have talked about screaming.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Throw the ship pass and they're just sitting there dying
on the hill. It's dying on the hill.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
And that goes back to what we've talked about on
the show previously, is the decision making from Julius Randall
and uh Ant Edwards in those type of situations, they're
not making the right decisions and I don't, yes, And
well that was the other thing too, is that when
you don't, maybe there's something that's going on in terms
(30:10):
of these guys realize that their teammates aren't pulling the
trigger and knocking down the shots. That's that's an issue
that maybe you're losing some confidence in your teammates there,
because that's what's hurting Minnesota right now is they just
can't consistently hit the open shot. And they're in the
first half. I mean, they had some really open shots
(30:31):
for a period of time. They knocked down a couple,
but then just they're inconsistent from beyond the arc.
Speaker 6 (30:37):
And you best believe, you best believe in the game
tonight and the game tomorrow they're gonna come back out
and they might and they might not trap that packing
roll in the first half, but you better believe at
the end of the game they're going to go right
back to that. And you know, Okac's gonna stay three
four in the paint. You do the same thing until
(30:58):
they can get them out. It's gonna be first first
team to figure that out.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I'll have the advantage, no question about it.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, if you're in Minnesota, you cannot go eleven of
thirty nine again from beyond the arc.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
You just can't.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You're not gonna win the game because you can't get
easy baskets because to your point, Brody, there's no place
to go in the lane there.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
They've got no ability to get an open shot.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
They are not gonna let Edwards get in there and
beat them in the paint. And that's where his game
starts from, you know. I mean, he's shot the ball
a lot better this year, but he is still an
elite athlete, an elite finisher. Yes, his game is predicated
on getting to the hoop.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
No doubt. One of nine for Edwards last night from
Beyond the Arc. That's not his game.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
I'm gonna get it done.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
No, definitely, not.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
On a whole nother note. I heard you just brought
up the Michael Malone thing too. I cannot believe he's
getting catching heat off of saying that's why he's our
MVP because he coached Jokis. Yeah, I mean that the
guy won the MVP. I mean he's a CP analyst
now and now he's having to walk it back. I mean, like,
good Greek, what can you and can't you say anymore?
(32:15):
It's unreal?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yes, don't we want our analysts to be able to
voice their opinion, especially it's a former coach of the NBA.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I think, yeah, I think he knows what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
But yes, but if it doesn't align with what the
narrative is supposed to be, then they get vilified.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Right, I don't understand it.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
Well, I'm going to switch the NFL and I'll wrap
it up real quick.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
I talked.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
I talked to John and Trede the other day. I
can't understand why everybody just assumes the Cowboys are going
to be so bad this year. Okay, I don't see why.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I love your positivity here.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Yes, I recncy bias, I guess, is the only thing
I can come.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Up with that there's no doubt, Brody, it's recency bias.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
And just again, I think how they approached, and I'll
say it, how we approached, because yeah, you know, I'm
a Cowboys fan. Free agency and yeah, and then in
the draft, I still yes.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Maybe a Bee, you know, for the draft. But overall,
I think you're spot on, Brody.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
It's just this over arching malaise that seems to be
this kind of black cloud over the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
And it's the Jerry Jones effect. Yes, it's when you
start you know, having that belief. Okay, this is it.
I say it every year, and I will say it
come come football time. We all do. It's the season
of hope, Brody. Yes, we're going to go into it.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
And think positive and try to speak it into existence
and then at a you know about the tenth week.
Hell yeah, yeah, here we are once again. But I
love your positivity, Brody.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Let's go with it.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Well, okay, so I understand the playoffs. I get that.
So let me ask you a quick question and I'll
hang up. Can you tell me before last year what
our record was the year before that?
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yeah, twelve and five.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
Can you tell me what it was the year before that?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Twelve and five?
Speaker 6 (34:26):
Can you tell me what it was the year before that?
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Twelve and five?
Speaker 6 (34:30):
And I don't know how many other NFL teams can
say that and get crap all the time. I know,
all of a sudden, the Commanders are the best freaking
team that's ever been built.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
We appreciate we've seen them be good and then bad
the next year.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah, exactly. Let them get on the roller coaster ride.
That's right, Brody. You have a fantastic weekend, brother.
Speaker 6 (34:52):
Y'all too, man, Thanks taking my call.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yes sir, yes, of course, anybody else out there wants
to join the conversation. Eight six' four two fours zero
five four eight. Zero we are going to take this,
break BUT i do want to talk college football and playoff,
seating how that might be different and what it would
have looked like if it would have been what we
would say.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Normal we'll talk about that right. After This.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
South carolina softball team is one went away from advancing
to the Women's College World series after taking DOWN ucla
today nine to two victory there In Columbia Carolina Super. Regional,
yeah so the best of three series now goes To
game two that will be tomorrow at one, pm again
(35:40):
also At Carolina Softball, stadium and you can watch that ON.
Espn this will be the first, time if they do,
advance that the women have been to The College World
series in softball.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Since nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Seven oh, wow, yeah so a. Minute it has been a.
Minute so we'll see how that plays. Out and we
also did see last night that The Clemson tiger softball
team they were able to take Down texas in The
Austin Super.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Regional so they are one win away from also getting
to The College World series in. Softball so how.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Fantastic would that be if we could have A Clemson
South carolina softball matchup in The College World. Series we
see it on the baseball side And South carolina has,
dominated So clemson, fans, YES i know you'd be licking
your chops trying to get a little bit of revenge
from that side of. Things but that would be great
for this. State oh, absolutely absolutely love. It and we
(36:31):
did see The clemson baseball team last night get a
big time victory OVER Nc state seven to, six were
able to score three runs in the eighth. Inning as,
now they advanced to the semifinals of THE Acc tournament
there In, durham and they will play tomorrow Against Georgia,
tech the number one, seed so that will be a
tough matchup right. There but we always want you to
(36:53):
join the conversation eight six four two four zero five
four eight zero right here on The Richmond Weaver show
presented By Ingles. Markets and let's head out to The
engles hot line right, now we've Got billy on the.
Line good afternoon to, you, Sir.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
Good afternoon to both of you. Guys you know when
you started this conversation at the beginning of the. SHOW
i was. Listening you took the first two THAT i
had in mind right off the, bat BECAUSE i think
those are, two number two and then number one with you,
know The boston coming back The yankees was that was
a choke. Job they were up three to nothing and
all they had to do was win one, game AND
i think they had three games left at, home so
(37:27):
you know that that was. Crazy but then to, me
the biggest one is is the example you know of
all choke jobs of all, time and that's The falcons
being up twenty five in The Super bowl and still
not being able.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
To close it.
Speaker 8 (37:39):
Out that's. Crazy but, Yes i've thought of some recently
that are more you, know these these are definitely. RECENTLY i,
mean think about. It you could go.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
Back if that series.
Speaker 8 (37:49):
Would have ended up, different everyone would have said that
was a choke. Job In Oklahoma City game one With,
denver it just so happened that they ended up winning that,
series so it doesn't. Matter and that's the reason Why
i'm not. Sure, yeah it was a choke job what
The knicks did the other, Night but it remains to
be seen how big of the choke job because the
end up went into series that that's gonna.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Matter that's why, exactly you know to, me.
Speaker 8 (38:12):
If it's a game seven or if you're talking about
THE nfl or college football or something like that where
there's only one. Game So i'm gonna mention too that
are more recent And trey's gonna light one and he
may not cheer for the. OTHER i don't. Know but
was there not a choke job that happened in That
Pittsburgh dallas game this past?
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Year talking about for uh in THE nfl for The, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (38:35):
When they played each. OTHER i mean it seemed like
That pittsburgh ended up choking that game? Away AM i
wrong about?
Speaker 3 (38:40):
That they threw that entire game? Away they picked dack
off twice in that, game didn't?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
They?
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Yes, yeah yeah you.
Speaker 8 (38:48):
Did AND i think they got inside the ten yard
line two or three times of the chance to take
the lead and didn't couldn't do. It, Yeah so that's.
One and here's the One i'm not gonna. Like this
happened two years ago In. Richmond it cost In South
Cohina bowl, game The florida. Game they were up by
ten points with less than five minutes ago ended up
losing that.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Game you gotta win that. One you talked about, that
you have to win that.
Speaker 8 (39:11):
Yep so there's examples of them all the. Time and
LIKE i, SAID i Think Oklahoma City denver this year
would have been one Had Oklahoma city ultimately ended up
losing that. Series they ended up, Winning so nobody will.
Remember that's right the way it. Goes and the same
thing with the next, game other than the fact that
that was even a bigger academic choke job than even
you know that you can. Remember so maybe you'll remember.
(39:33):
It but if they ended up winning that, series nobody
will remember it as. Much that's just the way it goes, Anyway,
Guys i'll hang up and.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
LISTEN i appreciate, it appreciated building as.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Always, Yes and there's no question there's something about the
ramifications or what the meaning of the game.
Speaker 6 (39:49):
Is.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Right if it's for Super, bowl, YEAH i mean it's.
Yeah if it's for The, masters you know that that's
a different story this week one. Whatever, Yeah and how
that plays out for The, pacers are they going to
be able to take advantage of that breakdown of The,
knicks right and the legendary performance there By Aaron nesmith
(40:11):
hitting six three pointers in the last basically three minutes
of that game or. WHATEVER i, mean it's those type of.
Moments but you got to go. Win and that's why
The Tyre's halliburton the choke sign at.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
The end of that. Game you better be glad you
won that game in. Overtime, yes.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Yeah and watching that shot again as a coach When
i'm watching it from my coach's lens and How halliburton
AND i know there's talk, about Was halliburton did he
get away with the double dribble right there at the
end he was in the lane and then went back
to the three point. Line well mckel bridge is also
is grabbing his, arm you, Know so there could have
been a foul that was called on that play and they.
(40:53):
Didn't but it's the worst shot in, basketball That Tyre's
halliburton shot because his foot was on the three point.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Line.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Right you either need to be inside that line or
outside that. Line you do not shoot with your foot
on the. Line that's a no no because again you
want to take advantage of if you're that far, out
better make it a three point, shot, Right, Yeah and
a lot of people, thought and there were many fans
who thought it was a three point.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Shot, yeah first. Glance at the first, glance you're.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Thinking that the game is, over And indiana their bench
is celebrating like the game is. Over you. Know SO
i get all of, that but, again it's taking advantage
of some of those. Situations and, if As billy, said
if The pacers lose the, series we'll.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Talk about the, performance but it won't mean, anything you.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Know so The pacers have to win this series for
that to go down as one of the legendary. Games
now we'll talk about what a great. Game but even
more so if The pacers going to win this, series
and especially if The pacers somehow would go on to
win THE Nba, finals, yes then that would that game
(42:05):
would put them in The hall Of, Excellence hall of
hang whatever you want to call.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
It from that side of, Things all.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Right real, QUICK i did want to mention just in
terms of the college football seating and how that's going
to be. Changing so now it's just straight, seating no
more getting an automatic buy based on being a conference,
champ regardless of your. Ranking so that's where we could
(42:33):
see a conference champ that could be fifteenth in the country.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Outside of the top.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Twelve, yeah but they get an audit, there they're automatically
put in The College Football playoff and get a.
Speaker 8 (42:48):
Buye.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Yeah and that's where people were frustrated, That, hey wait a.
Second you know you had you might be having some
of these teams that can win their, conference but you
had other teams that might have one, loss that maybe
lost in their conference championship, game, right and then you
know they've got to, go you, know on the road
(43:09):
and play somebody. Where, right one of these, teams like last,
year you know it Was Arizona, state it Was, oregon
it Was Boise, state and it Was georgia all had
the bye. Bye, yeah and of all, things all four
of those teams lost.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
After The. Yeah so a little bit.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Different but we'll talk much more about it next week as.
Well but we are wrapping up This friday edition of
The Richmond Weavers show presented By Ingles, markets and we

Speaker 3 (45:53):
Rain so there you, go exactly.

Trey Falco behind the board and behind the mic as always,
as we get ready for another fantastic week in sports weekend,
I should say in sports and especially Memorial Day weekend,
(01:23):
you have the Indy five hundred, and I have some
interesting stats about the NDY five hundred that I want
to talk about in a little bit.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Okay, in the day of Rundown.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I was blown away, and I continuously get blown away
with stats. And I know we talk about it that
stats don't tell all the story, and I harp on that,
but you do have to take certain things in context.
So I'm going to share some stats about the Indy
five hundred that I think you're gonna say, Wow, You're
going to be not I wouldn't say overwhelmed, but it's
(01:56):
more so whelmed, like how in the hell is that?
Those type of stats, that's what we're gonna talk about.
And we obviously had some of that the other night
with the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks game.
It's a good game, Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals,
and we have Game two of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight.
As we saw Game two in the Western Conference Finals,
(02:19):
this is looking like OKC. This is looking like as
an OKC team that they've got things in rhythm right now,
they're rolling still.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Just have to pump the brakes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Everybody wants to go ahead and say Minnesota is done,
But isn't this the way it was supposed to go.
The home team's gonna win the first two games at home,
that's just how it's supposed to go. And then now
you go on the road and it's going to be
a little bit more difficult.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
If OKC comes out this weekend and takes care of
business in Game three in Minnesota, yeah, then you're going
to need to worry because I don't know if they'll
even be able to get one or two games out
of that series for Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
If OKAC goes up three to zero.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Right well, and I'm already seeing the crazy thing to
me I saw earlier. Can the Knicks save their season tonight?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
They're down one, they're down one game, But it does
feel bigger, okay, based on how the game ended, and
we talked about it, how miraculous it was for Indiana
to be able to win that game, and we talked
about some of the stats, and we were watching here
in studio on the TV, just reiterating some of those stats,
(03:36):
especially when you're looking at how Indiana the first team
to be able to come back the way they did,
especially trailing in certain situations. And again since nineteen ninety eight,
teams that trailed by nine or more points in the
final minute of the fourth quarter or overtime were er
(03:57):
in one thousand, four hundred and fourteen, not a lot,
And now you can say one in ony four hundred
and fourteen because the Pacers, the yes sirs, oh yeah,
they were able to showcase that there's always a chance
and you never know what's going to happen. And now
(04:17):
the question, though, is it's the choke job of the
year discussion. And I loved what you and John were
talking about yesterday on Game On, And if you weren't listening,
make sure you check in today at four pm Game
On with John Ellis and he'll be with you until
six pm through drive time. But I loved the conversation
about the question of the day. Yeah, and you know,
(04:40):
what's the biggest choke job in sports?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Right? And so it got me thinking about that too.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So John, I appreciate you letting me steal some content
today here to open up the show, because I was
really intrigued by that question because I had started thinking
about it also based on what all the narratives that
we were hearing, yeah, from this Indiana game, and as
I started thinking about some of the big biggest choke jobs,
(05:06):
and I want to go over some of those that
I remember, and I'd love to get the listeners, the
investors in the show each day your thoughts as well,
so you can join the conversation. Eight six y four
two four zero five four eight zero. Again that number
is eight six four two four zero five four eight zero.
But there's also something about when you're talking about choke
(05:29):
jobs and how it plays out. Is it that one
team chokes or did the opponent just pull off something legendary.
It's a good question, and that's what I'm trying to
figure out. And so is it that blurred line between
choking and getting out played at the end in the
(05:52):
clutch moments?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And so I view it as it's either a choke
or a clutch moment, And so we can define at
least how I'm going to define a chokekay is when
a team or a player fails to perform under pressure,
collapsing in those moments despite a clear advantage.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I like that. I think that's pretty I agree, and
I think we saw some of that.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Yeah, and that Nick Samp They had a clear advantage.
They were up by fourteen points, right, you got to
win that game. Yeah, you do to win that game.
But you think about the choke.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
It's the unforced errors, it's the panic decisions, it's shrinking
in the moment. That's when you think about choking. On
the flip side of that, the clutch moments, that's when
an opponent rises to the occasion having some type of
extraordinary play that might steal the win, either through their
skill or just the grit, determination, the grind, or even
(06:50):
just some of the brilliance that we see, and at
that moment being able to capitalize on the mistakes of
the other team. Yep as well. So it's this blurred line.
So like a question when we look at a big
choke job in the world of sports, the Atlanta Falcons
(07:11):
twenty eight to three in Super Bowl fifty one. Was
that the Falcons choking in that situation or was that
Tom Brady just being Tom Brady and somehow getting the
Patriots a Super Bowl victory.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, and that's where we're wanting to go with some
of these because there's the psychology of choking. It's the
pressure that we talked about overthinking, it's losing focus, and
then that loss of focus leads to some of the
physical miscues. Yeah, those things that you sometimes you can't explain.
(07:49):
And then again you contrast that with those clutch performances.
Its seasoned the moment, with those high skilled opportunities, because
now all of a sudden, they are laser focused, they
are in the moment and they're almost ignoring all of
the outside noise. And that takes a special situation. Oh
(08:12):
it does. And so again, do you have to have both?
Do you have to have a downfall, a choke combined
with a legendary performance or is it going to be
one or the other. I think there's a combination. I
think that in some of these situations. Because let's take
(08:32):
a look at the Pacers in Knicks game right all right?
In that one, can we say for certain that it
was New York that choked that game away or did
the Pacers just do something.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Legendary and just went on a tear. I mean, Aaron.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Smith was six or six from the three point line
in a matter of three minutes. He scored twenty points
in three minutes. Right, that's one player. I mean, that's
type of legendary type of things. Now, the Knicks they
had some unforced errors and they missed free throws down
the stretch. So yeah, so you can look at that also,
(09:09):
But I just wonder how much of that is just
craziness of what Indiana was able to do and capitalize
on some of those errors because they could have missed
those shots.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Could have yeah, but they didn't.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And Haliburton shot well.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I saw the stats.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
It bounced almost eight feet in the air because I
remember you talking about that. It looked hi, Yeah, it
was seven point two three inches in the air and
it hung in the air for one point three seconds.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, I mean lifetime.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, that's insane when you think about it. So again,
how clutch was that versus there's some luck involved also,
And how much do you pinpoint on that with the
Nicks choking in that situation.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
See, I might have a little bit of a different
opinion of this because to me, like when I think
of like if it's if it's a choke job, I
don't picture the other team or the other player, if
it's golf or whatever it is, tennis, whatever the circumstances are,
I don't picture the opponent doing anything legendary. Like to me,
a choke would be like the opponent's doing well, you know,
they're playing up to their standard, but you're just have
(10:18):
such a far ahead advantage and then all of a
sudden you start making those mistakes and you start doing
the little things and you fall apart. And I think,
to me, but I also think you could have both.
I think both can be true. Two things can be
true at the same time. We've talked about that. Yeah,
plenty of times.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Okay, So here's one two thousand and four ALCS. Yeah,
New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. New York is
up three to zero in the series.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
That's done. Yeah, that's over. Yeah right right off.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Boston has to win four games in a row to
win that series. And we already know that Boston the
curse that they have, yeah, and especially against their nemesis,
the New York Yankees.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
But they were able to somehow poise this.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Comeback and set the stage for what we would say
in baseball one of the greatest comebacks in history, winning
four straight. So how much of that was the Yankees
choking there versus the Red Sox grabbing the moment, right,
And I think it's a combination. I think I think
(11:26):
the Yankees did implode with their pitching. They just didn't
have the same type of pitching the next four games.
And even Marion or Rivera, he wasn't the same type
of closer in that series for the last four games.
And I think that you had David Ortiz stealing the show.
And I think there's something to be said that. I
think it's a combination with the both of those. All Right,
(11:48):
how about this nineteen ninety six Masters, This is such
an easy one, yeah, to go to in terms of
a choke job or was it a clutch performance?
Speaker 3 (11:59):
We know the story.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Greg Norman led nine, led by six strokes entering the
final round and shot a seventy eight and he loses
to Nick Falgo Nick Faldo. But Nick Faldo shot a
sixty seven right that day, he shot five under par.
So if Faldo just shoots par, they go into a playoff.
(12:22):
So again, when you look at it, though, based on
what we were seeing and Greg Norman the lead that
he had, because it also he shot to seventy eight
on Sunday, but on Saturday it shot a seventy three,
So he's won over on that Saturday. Yeah, so it
(12:45):
was already somewhat starting before that final round on Sunday,
And so I think it's easy to pinpoint in that
situation that's more of a choke right there, because he
was so fall are out of the norm shooting a
seventy eight right over par you know there, And but
(13:08):
also Faldo sees the moment as well, But I would
define that one more of a choke uh than Faldo
a clutch performance, although that was still pretty clutch for Faldo.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I also have to wonder too, like when you're talking
about choke jobs, like I guess, because it all comes
down to what what's going on up here in your head?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Right?
Speaker 4 (13:30):
And there has to be, at least in my my opinion,
there has to be some sort of some sort of
turning point that has to happen. And to your point
talking about seizing the moment and these clutch plays and
doing something legendary, at what point does a team just
start to fall apart without any sort of outside stimuli,
(13:51):
Like there has to be something going on in them
going oh wait a minute, whoa why are they playing
so good all of a sudden, and then they start
thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
It starts, and I think that could trigger the.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Choke, the confidence that you lose in yourself. That sounds
like an eminem song, right, you lose yourself?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
There is something that we see with teams and for
whatever reason, and we identify it as the snowball effect. Yes,
things just start happening and you can't stop it, just
like a team scoring and scoring and somehow just everything
seems to be going right for them and everything is
(14:30):
wrong for the other team.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
And as a fan, we've.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
All been there on one side or the other yep,
and we've been able to celebrate it and say we
don't know what the hell's going on. We'll love it though,
And on the other side, what's going on? Make this stop?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
You know? So there is both sides of that, and
so I think of this one. Also.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
How about this nineteen ninety five NBA Finals Game one
to Nick Anderson, the Orlando Magic Hen's Houston Rockets and
the Orlando led one ten to one oh seven with
ten seconds to go in the game. Oh wow, So
Nick Anderson he's going to the free throw line and
(15:11):
looking basically to ice the game. So he has two
free throws, misses the first, misses the second one, but
gets his own rebound somehow gets his own rebound and
gets fouled going up again. So now he's going back
to the free throw line and he misses both free
(15:32):
throws again, and then in the last two seconds of
the game, Kenny Smith ties the game with a three
point shot and it goes into overtime and the Magic
ultimately lose that game.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Is that a choke job?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I mean, miss four free throws and it feels like
to me, that's all I think you get at least one.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You've got to make one before, right, and so that
would be more of a choke job.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
But again.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Nothing not that it was spectacular, but it's also at
the end of the game, the time is running out
in Kenny Smith in that moment seizes the moment, yeah,
and makes the three point shot, right, you know, So
there was a a play where he was able to
(16:25):
seize the moment. So maybe there's again a combination, but
I think ultimately Kenny Smith not even in that situation
if thank you, Yeah, Nick Anderson doesn't make all those
free throws.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
If he makes one free throw.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
It doesn't matter, right, I was gonna say, to your
point the fact about a combination, Yeah, he wouldn't even
have a chance if one free throw gets made.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
And if you could think I would, I would.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I wonder how many games that have happened that we've
watched that we could be on the flip side of that, where,
oh we could we could call.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
It a choke job.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
If they didn't make the one free thrust, if they
didn't make the three pointer, if they didn't do this,
if they didn't do that. There's a lot that could
be on the other side of that that we could
be talking about.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Man, oh what a choke job. Oh, there's no doubt.
And that's why the margin is so small in these games.
You think about, you know, all of the plays that happened,
and you the cumulative effect of all these plays, and
then how many times it comes down to what we
would identify. We want to say it came down to
this one play, but it's not. It came down to
(17:30):
this one missed opportunity, this one choke moment. But there's
plenty of other moments that happened in.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
The first quarter. Yep, that's you know, or the first half.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
So we've got to be careful as far as how
we define. But I do believe there's something to be
said that in a lot of these situations it's a combination. Yeah,
it's choked, I can agree with, and it's clutch performance.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Let us know your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
So eight six four two four zero five four eight
zero and let's head out.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
To the hot line right now, the Richmond Weavers show.
Who's this?
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Hey, this is Sean.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
How you doing doing fantastic? Sean? How about yourself? Sir?
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Good?
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Good, first time caller, longtime listener.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
I did want to touch a little bit on the
Tom Brady situation against the Falcon.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yes, I think.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
I think what what made that special is that even
though the Falcons could have made the right calls, you know,
defensively and probably run out the clock, but Tom Brady,
even though he was down twenty eight to three, kept
that MVP state of mind and never let off the gas,
(18:41):
and so he was able to take advantage of all
those all those bad calls by the defensive coordinator. Yes,
so it was one of those combos you're talking about.
It took the greatest quarterback of all time to do it,
because I don't think anybody else would long in there.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, now yeah, think about this, Sean. This is that's
what's so interesting. Tom Brady four hundred and sixty six
yards in that game, five touchdowns within that comeback, and
remember he.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Threw the pick six.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
So there's that mindset of as a quarterback, how do
you have that amnesia?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Oh yeah, to forget about that.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
And what you just described, Sean, is that that's what
made Tom Brady so great that he was in that
pressure type of moment and you think that he falters,
and he did for a brief moment, but was able
to flush that out of his memory and then took
advantage based on what Atlanta was giving there in the
(19:38):
second half and the comeback of the century.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
Right. And there's one other just fact I want to
put out there is when they lost to the Eagles,
the Patriots lost to the Eagles. I don't know you
guys probably know this, but Tom Brady threw for the
most yards ever in a playoff game, Super Bowl anything.
It was like five hundred forty yards he threw against
(20:03):
in that loss to the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yes, sir, yesu, Sean, I love it. Yes, you can
join us here on the nerd side with these stats.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
But anyway, thanks for taking Yeah, thank.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
You, Sean.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
We always appreciate you call any time, Sean and come
loaded with stats.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You always welcome with stats. We do love that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
But there is again that points to what we were
just talking about, Trey, is that taking advantage of the moment,
and you've got to be able to recognize the clutch
performance by some of these athletes versus just washing away
that oh the choke job, right, that's right, yes, Oh
(20:50):
they were so lucky. You know that, there's no way
that should have ever happened, you know, those type of things.
And that's why just looking at again some of these
even like Golden State Warriors twenty sixteen in the NBA
Finals against Cleveland. They're up three to zero, I mean
three to one in that series. And this is a team,
(21:13):
the Golden State Warriors, who set the NBA record of
seventy three wins in the season.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Wow, they only lost nine times the entire season, and
they're up three to one in the.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Finals and Lebron James and the Cavs they make a
stoic come back. Now you also have to predicate that
Draymond Green gets ejected from a game and then is
not allowed to play the next game.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
And so that was a.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Big reason why Cleveland was able to get a victory
because you didn't have Draymond Green in Game five. And again,
is it based on what Lebron James and Kyrie Irving
were able to do? The block that Lebron James had
as he tracks down Iguadala and then also Kyrie Irving
(22:06):
hitting the big shot where Steph Curry and Klay Thompson
were missing some of their three pointers that they normally make.
And I do believe, and that's the moments you're talking about,
is the other team they start feeling the pressure, oh
have to and they start start thinking about it, and
then the other team's like, oh, Lucy goosey.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Let's go and let's play.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Oh we could do this, Yes, And I think that's
what happened in that game. And I do believe in
that game though the Warriors did choke in that situation
because they were the much better team. They shouldn't have
been in that situation. And I think there as the
momentum started going, they couldn't corral it there and Kyrie
(22:50):
Irving took advantage of hitting a big shot. You can
join the conversation, though, let us know your biggest choke
job in sports and was it a joke job or
was there a clutch performance that was part of it?
Eight six four two four zero five four eight zero.
We've got some college football news to talk about right
(23:11):
after this. NBA playoffs continue tonight the Pacers and the Knicks,
Game two of the Eastern Conference Finals eight pm on TNT.
Make sure you get ready for that as we have
a jam packed weekend of sports as we will continue
with the Western Conference Finals later this weekend on Saturday
(23:33):
eight thirty pm ABC, as Oklahoma City will travel to
Minnesota as they are up two to zero in that series.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
And we didn't even talk about.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Sga winning the MBA MVP and it was an easy win,
but it wasn't as wide as I thought it was
going to be. As far as the gap between him
and Yokich, it was a little bit closer than I thought,
based on again what we're hearing. You know, Oh, it's Sga, right,
you know, led the league in scoring, you know all that,
(24:05):
he's got his team number one seed. Yeah, and as
we've had Jason Temp a host of Hoops Tonight on
each Wednesday, he talked about it this past Wednesday and
he was pretty blunt that, oh, yeah, Sga is going
to get it. But still, Jokich is the best player
in the NBA right right, So it's not always about
the best player getting the award that particular year. And
(24:29):
that's why I'm still amazed that Michael Jordan didn't win
it every single year that he was in the NBA.
Right now, you could maybe discount when he was in Washington.
I do understand that, and you also can say that, well,
there are other performances for that particular year that a
player was more valuable for his team than Michael Jordan.
(24:53):
And I understand that, Okay, So I will give you that.
What I struggle with, though, and this is a big one,
is that and I'm a huge Steph Curry fan. And
this is not to disparage that Steph Curry was the
first player to win an NBA MVP by unanimous decision. Yeah,
(25:17):
I just don't think he should have been the first.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I think Michael Jordan should have been the first.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And there's probably even some others back in the day
that maybe at that particular time. And that's where I
get frustrated with some of these voters, especially when you're
looking at even like for Major League Baseball in the
Hall of Fame. They're either Hall of Fame or they're
not right, you know, yeah, if you have to punish them,
And how can you not have somebody that's brilliant in
(25:48):
their game, a legend in.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Their particular game.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
And like when you look at like a player in
Major League Baseball and they don't get a unanimous vote
just because oh no, we can't do that. Nobody gets
in unanimously. No, We've got to have one person dissent,
and I just that just drives me crazy. So even
with the NBA MVP Award back in the day, you
(26:16):
can't tell me Michael Jordan couldn't win it unanimously and.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
It's just that, oh no, we can't do that. Exactly
have to vote. That's human condition.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
People have their biases and people I don't like Michael,
So I'm just gonna vote for literally anybody.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Else that's Michael Jordan, and that absolutely drives me crazy.
As we continue this Friday edition of the Richmond Weaver
Show presented by Ingles Markets. You can join the conversation
eight six four two four zero five four a zero
and let's head out to the Ingles hot line right now,
The Richmond Weaver Show.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Who's this?
Speaker 6 (26:46):
That's Brody guys.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
What's happening Brody Man? How are you, sir? On this
wonderful Friday.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
I'm doing good man, Trey, get the Nerdler button ready. Yes,
I have to talk about the game the other night,
the Knicks and the Pacers. I don't understand when you're
going down the stretch and you they want they get
the ball to Jalen Brunton. They run, they want to
(27:13):
run the pick and roll with Kat, but they're trapping
on the pick and roll. They're headge and tight trapping
off of it. Rich When you being a coach, what
do you do when you want to get the ball
to your best player but they're trapping on the pick
and roll. What's the first thing.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
You're going to do?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Well, I'm going to slip that that trap right there
is what I'm going to do to get the player of.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
The ball exactly. Or if you want Jaylen Brunton to
have the ball, you have to play him off the ball, yes,
to get him in the sets you want. When they're
trapping it and killing it, I can't understand why they
kept going to it, kept going to it, kept going
to it, and just that to me, that was such
a And I know Tis is a great coach. I
(27:57):
love TIBs, but to me, that was such an easy fit, yes,
for them to keep rolling that same thing out there
getting killed those.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, And there's there's been discussion about that too, Brody,
uh that I've been reading, and because Kad and Brunson
are such a good pick and roll combo and they
were having success earlier in the game, but Indiana wasn't
trapping earlier in the game. And then so when they
made that adjustment, TIBs didn't make his adjustment. And that
can come down to the coaching side of things, where
(28:27):
we even talked about and pressure situations.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Coaches have to perform as well. It's not just the players.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
You have to put your players in a potentially better situation,
and TIBs didn't do that, Brody.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
And that is also a flaw in the team building
side of the knit, because who do you want to
have the ball? If you got to have Jalen Brunson
off the ball.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, and because there's nobody else there. Yeah, there's nobody
else out there, it's you. Brunson has to have the
ball in his hand.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
We know that.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Okay. So that brings me to the game last night. Now,
if that wasn't the most high school defensive set I've
ever seen in a NBA Game five OKC, which was brilliant.
They're basically leaving three in the paint, yes, playing everybody up,
playing drunk coverage making, making the Wars not the Warriors.
(29:24):
The Timberwolves throw skip passes to make other guys beat them.
And they couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
They couldn't do it.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
They couldn't not do it.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, And we have talked about screaming.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Throw the ship pass and they're just sitting there dying
on the hill. It's dying on the hill.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
And that goes back to what we've talked about on
the show previously, is the decision making from Julius Randall
and uh Ant Edwards in those type of situations, they're
not making the right decisions and I don't, yes, And
well that was the other thing too, is that when
you don't, maybe there's something that's going on in terms
(30:10):
of these guys realize that their teammates aren't pulling the
trigger and knocking down the shots. That's that's an issue
that maybe you're losing some confidence in your teammates there,
because that's what's hurting Minnesota right now is they just
can't consistently hit the open shot. And they're in the
first half. I mean, they had some really open shots
(30:31):
for a period of time. They knocked down a couple,
but then just they're inconsistent from beyond the arc.
Speaker 6 (30:37):
And you best believe, you best believe in the game
tonight and the game tomorrow they're gonna come back out
and they might and they might not trap that packing
roll in the first half, but you better believe at
the end of the game they're going to go right
back to that. And you know, Okac's gonna stay three
four in the paint. You do the same thing until
(30:58):
they can get them out. It's gonna be first first
team to figure that out.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I'll have the advantage, no question about it.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, if you're in Minnesota, you cannot go eleven of
thirty nine again from beyond the arc.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
You just can't.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You're not gonna win the game because you can't get
easy baskets because to your point, Brody, there's no place
to go in the lane there.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
They've got no ability to get an open shot.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
They are not gonna let Edwards get in there and
beat them in the paint. And that's where his game
starts from, you know. I mean, he's shot the ball
a lot better this year, but he is still an
elite athlete, an elite finisher. Yes, his game is predicated
on getting to the hoop.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
No doubt. One of nine for Edwards last night from
Beyond the Arc. That's not his game.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
I'm gonna get it done.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
No, definitely, not.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
On a whole nother note. I heard you just brought
up the Michael Malone thing too. I cannot believe he's
getting catching heat off of saying that's why he's our
MVP because he coached Jokis. Yeah, I mean that the
guy won the MVP. I mean he's a CP analyst
now and now he's having to walk it back. I mean, like,
good Greek, what can you and can't you say anymore?
(32:15):
It's unreal?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yes, don't we want our analysts to be able to
voice their opinion, especially it's a former coach of the NBA.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I think, yeah, I think he knows what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
But yes, but if it doesn't align with what the
narrative is supposed to be, then they get vilified.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Right, I don't understand it.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
Well, I'm going to switch the NFL and I'll wrap
it up real quick.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
I talked.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
I talked to John and Trede the other day. I
can't understand why everybody just assumes the Cowboys are going
to be so bad this year. Okay, I don't see why.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I love your positivity here.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
Yes, I recncy bias, I guess, is the only thing
I can come.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Up with that there's no doubt, Brody, it's recency bias.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
And just again, I think how they approached, and I'll
say it, how we approached, because yeah, you know, I'm
a Cowboys fan. Free agency and yeah, and then in
the draft, I still yes.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Maybe a Bee, you know, for the draft. But overall,
I think you're spot on, Brody.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
It's just this over arching malaise that seems to be
this kind of black cloud over the Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
And it's the Jerry Jones effect. Yes, it's when you
start you know, having that belief. Okay, this is it.
I say it every year, and I will say it
come come football time. We all do. It's the season
of hope, Brody. Yes, we're going to go into it.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
And think positive and try to speak it into existence
and then at a you know about the tenth week.
Hell yeah, yeah, here we are once again. But I
love your positivity, Brody.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Let's go with it.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Well, okay, so I understand the playoffs. I get that.
So let me ask you a quick question and I'll
hang up. Can you tell me before last year what
our record was the year before that?
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yeah, twelve and five.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
Can you tell me what it was the year before that?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Twelve and five?
Speaker 6 (34:26):
Can you tell me what it was the year before that?
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Twelve and five?
Speaker 6 (34:30):
And I don't know how many other NFL teams can
say that and get crap all the time. I know,
all of a sudden, the Commanders are the best freaking
team that's ever been built.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
We appreciate we've seen them be good and then bad
the next year.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah, exactly. Let them get on the roller coaster ride.
That's right, Brody. You have a fantastic weekend, brother.
Speaker 6 (34:52):
Y'all too, man, Thanks taking my call.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yes sir, yes, of course, anybody else out there wants
to join the conversation. Eight six' four two fours zero
five four eight. Zero we are going to take this,
break BUT i do want to talk college football and playoff,
seating how that might be different and what it would
have looked like if it would have been what we
would say.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Normal we'll talk about that right. After This.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
South carolina softball team is one went away from advancing
to the Women's College World series after taking DOWN ucla
today nine to two victory there In Columbia Carolina Super. Regional,
yeah so the best of three series now goes To
game two that will be tomorrow at one, pm again
(35:40):
also At Carolina Softball, stadium and you can watch that ON.
Espn this will be the first, time if they do,
advance that the women have been to The College World
series in softball.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Since nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Seven oh, wow, yeah so a. Minute it has been a.
Minute so we'll see how that plays. Out and we
also did see last night that The Clemson tiger softball
team they were able to take Down texas in The
Austin Super.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Regional so they are one win away from also getting
to The College World series in. Softball so how.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Fantastic would that be if we could have A Clemson
South carolina softball matchup in The College World. Series we
see it on the baseball side And South carolina has,
dominated So clemson, fans, YES i know you'd be licking
your chops trying to get a little bit of revenge
from that side of. Things but that would be great
for this. State oh, absolutely absolutely love. It and we
(36:31):
did see The clemson baseball team last night get a
big time victory OVER Nc state seven to, six were
able to score three runs in the eighth. Inning as,
now they advanced to the semifinals of THE Acc tournament
there In, durham and they will play tomorrow Against Georgia,
tech the number one, seed so that will be a
tough matchup right. There but we always want you to
(36:53):
join the conversation eight six four two four zero five
four eight zero right here on The Richmond Weaver show
presented By Ingles. Markets and let's head out to The
engles hot line right, now we've Got billy on the.
Line good afternoon to, you, Sir.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
Good afternoon to both of you. Guys you know when
you started this conversation at the beginning of the. SHOW
i was. Listening you took the first two THAT i
had in mind right off the, bat BECAUSE i think
those are, two number two and then number one with you,
know The boston coming back The yankees was that was
a choke. Job they were up three to nothing and
all they had to do was win one, game AND
i think they had three games left at, home so
(37:27):
you know that that was. Crazy but then to, me
the biggest one is is the example you know of
all choke jobs of all, time and that's The falcons
being up twenty five in The Super bowl and still
not being able.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
To close it.
Speaker 8 (37:39):
Out that's. Crazy but, Yes i've thought of some recently
that are more you, know these these are definitely. RECENTLY i,
mean think about. It you could go.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
Back if that series.
Speaker 8 (37:49):
Would have ended up, different everyone would have said that
was a choke. Job In Oklahoma City game one With,
denver it just so happened that they ended up winning that,
series so it doesn't. Matter and that's the reason Why
i'm not. Sure, yeah it was a choke job what
The knicks did the other, Night but it remains to
be seen how big of the choke job because the
end up went into series that that's gonna.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
Matter that's why, exactly you know to, me.
Speaker 8 (38:12):
If it's a game seven or if you're talking about
THE nfl or college football or something like that where
there's only one. Game So i'm gonna mention too that
are more recent And trey's gonna light one and he
may not cheer for the. OTHER i don't. Know but
was there not a choke job that happened in That
Pittsburgh dallas game this past?
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Year talking about for uh in THE nfl for The, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (38:35):
When they played each. OTHER i mean it seemed like
That pittsburgh ended up choking that game? Away AM i
wrong about?
Speaker 3 (38:40):
That they threw that entire game? Away they picked dack
off twice in that, game didn't?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
They?
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Yes, yeah yeah you.
Speaker 8 (38:48):
Did AND i think they got inside the ten yard
line two or three times of the chance to take
the lead and didn't couldn't do. It, Yeah so that's.
One and here's the One i'm not gonna. Like this
happened two years ago In. Richmond it cost In South
Cohina bowl, game The florida. Game they were up by
ten points with less than five minutes ago ended up
losing that.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Game you gotta win that. One you talked about, that
you have to win that.
Speaker 8 (39:11):
Yep so there's examples of them all the. Time and
LIKE i, SAID i Think Oklahoma City denver this year
would have been one Had Oklahoma city ultimately ended up
losing that. Series they ended up, Winning so nobody will.
Remember that's right the way it. Goes and the same
thing with the next, game other than the fact that
that was even a bigger academic choke job than even
you know that you can. Remember so maybe you'll remember.
(39:33):
It but if they ended up winning that, series nobody
will remember it as. Much that's just the way it goes, Anyway,
Guys i'll hang up and.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
LISTEN i appreciate, it appreciated building as.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Always, Yes and there's no question there's something about the
ramifications or what the meaning of the game.
Speaker 6 (39:49):
Is.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Right if it's for Super, bowl, YEAH i mean it's.
Yeah if it's for The, masters you know that that's
a different story this week one. Whatever, Yeah and how
that plays out for The, pacers are they going to
be able to take advantage of that breakdown of The,
knicks right and the legendary performance there By Aaron nesmith
(40:11):
hitting six three pointers in the last basically three minutes
of that game or. WHATEVER i, mean it's those type of.
Moments but you got to go. Win and that's why
The Tyre's halliburton the choke sign at.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
The end of that. Game you better be glad you
won that game in. Overtime, yes.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Yeah and watching that shot again as a coach When
i'm watching it from my coach's lens and How halliburton
AND i know there's talk, about Was halliburton did he
get away with the double dribble right there at the
end he was in the lane and then went back
to the three point. Line well mckel bridge is also
is grabbing his, arm you, Know so there could have
been a foul that was called on that play and they.
(40:53):
Didn't but it's the worst shot in, basketball That Tyre's
halliburton shot because his foot was on the three point.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Line.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Right you either need to be inside that line or
outside that. Line you do not shoot with your foot
on the. Line that's a no no because again you
want to take advantage of if you're that far, out
better make it a three point, shot, Right, Yeah and
a lot of people, thought and there were many fans
who thought it was a three point.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Shot, yeah first. Glance at the first, glance you're.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Thinking that the game is, over And indiana their bench
is celebrating like the game is. Over you. Know SO
i get all of, that but, again it's taking advantage
of some of those. Situations and, if As billy, said
if The pacers lose the, series we'll.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Talk about the, performance but it won't mean, anything you.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Know so The pacers have to win this series for
that to go down as one of the legendary. Games
now we'll talk about what a great. Game but even
more so if The pacers going to win this, series
and especially if The pacers somehow would go on to
win THE Nba, finals, yes then that would that game
(42:05):
would put them in The hall Of, Excellence hall of
hang whatever you want to call.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
It from that side of, Things all.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Right real, QUICK i did want to mention just in
terms of the college football seating and how that's going
to be. Changing so now it's just straight, seating no
more getting an automatic buy based on being a conference,
champ regardless of your. Ranking so that's where we could
(42:33):
see a conference champ that could be fifteenth in the country.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Outside of the top.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Twelve, yeah but they get an audit, there they're automatically
put in The College Football playoff and get a.
Speaker 8 (42:48):
Buye.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Yeah and that's where people were frustrated, That, hey wait a.
Second you know you had you might be having some
of these teams that can win their, conference but you
had other teams that might have one, loss that maybe
lost in their conference championship, game, right and then you
know they've got to, go you, know on the road
(43:09):
and play somebody. Where, right one of these, teams like last,
year you know it Was Arizona, state it Was, oregon
it Was Boise, state and it Was georgia all had
the bye. Bye, yeah and of all, things all four
of those teams lost.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
After The. Yeah so a little bit.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Different but we'll talk much more about it next week as.
