Speaker 1 (00:07):
Wednesday, Juno eleventh, twenty twenty five, you are listening to
the Daily Dose Sports podcast and I am your host,
Clinton Daily, coming to you from my iiced here in Denver, Colorado,
and we are back for another week of talking sports
with a dose of common sense. Hey, Happy Wednesday to you.
Hope you had a good weekend. I hope that your
week is going well, that you and your family and
friends are staying strong and healthy. Right now, and let's
(00:29):
just jump right in right now as the NBA Finals
are now even at one game piece with Game three
scheduled for tonight in Indiana. Yeah, after giving up a
fifteen point lead in Game one to lose on their
home floor, the Oklahoma City Thunder left no room for
(00:51):
comeback in game two. On Sunday night, the Thunder jumped
on the Indiana Pacers in Game two, and honestly, that
game was never really in dab shake. Gilses Alexander scored
thirty four in game two, But the key for me
was not so much that because he was good in
game one. The key for me was the biggs for
(01:12):
Oklahoma City actually showed up in game one. Chet Holmgren
and Isaiah Hartenstein were basically even no shows, and the
Thunder were actually out rebounded fifty six to thirty nine. Well,
their team defense didn't do much in Game one either,
but they showed up in Game two. They contested shots,
(01:34):
they rebounded, the Thunder controlled the boards on Sunday forty
three thirty five, and the bench stepped up in game
two as well. You know, I thought going into the
series that the Thunder depth was going to be a problem,
but in Game one, the Pacers bench actually outscored them
thirty nine to twenty eight. What are you doing, Oklahoma City,
(01:55):
It's not I have played my Denver Nuggets. Well. In
Game two, they flipped that big time. They outscore the
Indiana bench forty eight thirty four. Now, prior to the
series last week, I picked the Thunder in five games
and then they go out and they lose Game one.
Am I going to adjust my pick? No, I'm not.
(02:18):
I'm gonna be stubborn. I'm not changing that pick. I
still think the Thunder win this in five games. Game
three tonight in Indiana will be big because if Indy
gets this win tonight, hey, then the series does get interesting.
I'm gonna have to see it to believe it though,
I am sticking thunder in five. Hey, remember you should

have a ton of sports news that came out this week.
(03:21):
Plus we will have a Daily Dose Top five for
you today and it is going to be a little
bit NBA flavored. Here's a question for you to think about.
Are the Oklahoma City Thunder proving to be one of
the most dominant teams of all time? Something to think about.
We'll get to that in just one moment. But first,
the Stanley Cup Final has been absolutely wild through the
(03:45):
first two games, with both a double overtime game in
Game one and then an overtime game in Game two
between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers. They split
Game one and Game two. So what would we see
in Game three on Monday night? Well it was wild,
but it was wild in a very very different way.
(04:06):
With the series tied at one, the pressure was on
Edmonton to try to take Game three on the road.
Remember those first two games were played in Edmonton. However,
the Florida Panthers jumped on them flourid to one, and
Edmonton actually let the pressure boil over. The Oilers basically decided, Hey,
(04:28):
if we can't beat them, let's just try to beat
them up. How about that? The third period was full
of fights. If you haven't watched it, I'm telling you
go back and watch it. You'll be entertained. Here's the
bad news for Edmonton. Though they lost the game six
to one, they're now down two to one in the series.
Oh what, also, they lost most of the fights on
(04:51):
Monday and eight two. It was a complete and utter
meltdown for the Oilers. Now, if I told you once,
I've told you a thousand times, boys, scouts, and you know,
it just made me wonder if it is starting to
set in that they can't beat Florida. They just can't
beat them, and they know it because on Monday night
they resorted to just dumb penalties, whacking guys with a stick,
(05:15):
just slashing guys across the back of the lake. The
ref sees that you're going to the box, you're getting ejected.
They just got stupid on Monday night, and they still
can't beat Florida. Florida just gets to every loose puck.
They pinch your scorers, they smother you, and then they
themselves generate scoring opportunities. Watching that game on Monday, no
(05:38):
that Edmonton olas is there in big trouble. This isn't over,
It's not quite over, but it sure looked like Edmonton
was feeling the pressure on Monday night. And something to
keep in mind that Edmonton roster, the way it's built. Yeah,
this could be kind of a do or die situation
for them. Game four is tomorrow night in Florida, and
(05:58):
it feels like Edmonton back is against the wall. If
they come back and they get one tomorrow night. Okay,
it's anybody serious, It's a three game series. Lose tomorrow night.
It's just a matter of time, isn't it. They're probably
going to go down and Canada is probably going to
be taking a big loss. Big news in the NCUBA
(06:19):
sports world this past week, as Judge Claudia Wilkin granted
final approval of the House versus nc doublea settlement last
week that paves the way for schools to pay their
college athletes directly for the very first time. That settlement
establishes a ten year revenue sharing model that allows each
(06:41):
school to distribute up to around twenty and a half
million dollars in revenue two athletes starting this season July first.
I believe, in addition to any nil money that they
already get from boosters. So now schools can pay athletes directly.
It's coming and it's coming fast. Each school's athletic department
(07:03):
can decide how it will divide that money among their athletes.
Not many major programs have shared their budget plans, but
those that have say they will spend the overwhelming majority
of their money on football and men's basketball. Why it's
pretty simple because those sports actually make money. Now, athletes
(07:25):
are still allowed to make money through their name and likeness.
So here's the big question. Is this a good thing? Well,
we'll see, I guess. Now, maybe it allows for more
transparency as to what kids are actually getting paid. Then again,
(07:45):
we know the boosters can also still pay them for
name and likeness. Okay, so maybe it gives the schools
more pull to actually give players, you know, requirements in
order to earn their money. Maybe you got to play
in a ball game, maybe actually got to show up
for practice, maybe actually got to take care of some
of your business to get paid. But again, they get
(08:08):
that booster money. And I mean, they could just go
to another school. They can transfer whenever they want, so
it doesn't really matter. So again, is this a good thing?
I'm gonna hope it is, but my brain tells me
it won't be. In fact, what my brain tells me
(08:30):
is that this is going to crush the mid majors.
It's going to crush women's sports, and it's going to
crush those non premier sports that aren't football and men's basketball.
That's what my brain tells me. I know the powers
that be are gonna tell me I'm way off on that,
but that's what my brain tells me. All those other sports.
(08:50):
Remember how your kid was getting a scholarship to play lacrosse, Yeah,
that's gone. They're just going to eliminate those sports. Oh,
they'll keep like women's basketball, maybe sol that's going to
be it. They're going to get rid of those sports.
I hope I'm wrong, but man, I'm tired of being
right staying in college sports. You know, for years, NCAA
(09:13):
tournament expansion has felt like it was off in the
distance somewhere. Yes, it's coming, we're not sure when, but
it will be coming eventually. Well when could already be
this next year. NCAA President Charlie Baker says that would
be the goal to try and do this for next year.
(09:34):
We've been talking about seventy two and seventy six teams
in the NCAA Tournament. It would obviously be one of
the other It won't be any more than that, okay,
but adding four or eight more teams would likely mean more.
What play in style games? You know, those play in
games we love so much. That happened on Tuesday night
when no one's paying attention. So the first four might
(09:57):
end up becoming the first eight or the first twelve,
not in the distant future, by next March. Ugh, again,
I'm not sure that's a good thing. Look, I know
the popular take in the sports media world is that
this is bad and this is dumb, and I won't lie.
I think this is bad and I think this is dumb.
(10:18):
Having said that, I think the tournament was perfect at
sixty four. We didn't need to change anything already. Then again,
I do love me some March madness. So is more
March madness inherently a bad thing? Probably? Not sure. We're
probably gonna see some more bad games early. Then again,
(10:40):
there's nothing we can do about it. So instead of
the sixty ninth and seventieth team complaining, we're gonna now
get either the seventy third or the seventy seventh or
whatever team complaining. Either way, someone's gonna be whining that
they didn't get in. So I guess we might as
well embrace it, because like it or not, is happening.
(11:01):
Jumping over to the NBA, NBA commissioner Adam Silver says
he is taking a more successful league's idea for their
All Star events in an attempt to try to rehabilitate
the NBA's struggling All Star Weekend. Silver confirmed last week
during an appearance on FS one that the twenty twenty
(11:21):
six NBA All Star Game could be adopting a USA
versus World format going forward. He says they're taking inspiration
from the NHL's Four Nations faceoff. Here's what that alien
had to say. What better time to feature some form
of USA against the World. I'm not exactly sure what
(11:42):
the format will be yet. I paid a lot of
attention to what the NHL did, and that was a
huge success. Now the NBA has pivoted several times from
the traditional East versus West, but then we've just seen
NBA players not really trying. They tried a tournament style
(12:02):
All Star Game, but no one's watching, no one cares,
and honestly, player empowerment has dulled the All Star Game completely.
Players don't care about playing, they care about their personal brand,
they don't care to compete. And Silver is trying to
revive All Star Weekend because we saw the NHL had
(12:24):
that four Nation's face off and it pulled massive TV ratings,
in fact, with ESPN's broadcast pulling nine point three million
viewers on those games. That's the most watched non Olympic
hockey game ever in Canada. Sixteen million we're watching. Meanwhile,
(12:45):
the NBA's All Star weekend drew four point seven million viewers.
I mean that's awful. Here's the problem for this scenario.
Here's the problem for Adam Silver. Yes, the best world
players might literally be better than in the USA's players
right now, the problem will be the depth of that
world team. Here's the other problem. A world team doesn't
(13:10):
exactly spark any hometown patriotism. I mean, playing for the
world team will not be the same for someone like
Nikola Jokic as playing for his home country of Serbia,
So why would he care. Here's the bottom line. And
the NBA doesn't want to hear this, but it's absolutely true.
Like most of what the NBA is currently doing, I
(13:31):
just don't think this works. NBA players hate playing basketball.
I don't know why. But you can't fix that with gimmicks.
You can't make them care. And right now they don't care.
They could care less. They don't want to play on
a regular season night. They're trying to sit out. You
think they're going to go play in an All Star
game just for fun. You must be kidding me. That
(13:54):
isn't how this works. Speaking of league changes, Major League
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says he is ready to officially
propose introducing automated balls and strikes to on field competition
in regular season games starting next year. That's what he
said last week. He says that the league wants the
(14:15):
system to start next year after a trial run during
spring training this past year. And as we've seen, Manfred
has actually pushed some things through. I mean he upp
pace the play, he got that pitchclock installed. Game times
have dropped. He even did the extra innings ghost runner stuff,
which is still a little weird to me. But it's
shortened games and it's actually been a little bit successful.
(14:38):
So the challenge system for balls and strikes it might
be an improvement. I'm not sure will it length and
game times? Will it negatively impact the on field product
with fans and players, because what they're talking about is
a review if you want to challenge a ball versus
a strike, so you might be slunging the game back down. Now,
(15:00):
Actually give man for it a little bit of credit
because he has had the guts to make some of
these moves. Okay, but hear me out forget baseball hardly
an mus watch. Anyways, Is there any way we could
get Adam Silver to go get abs officials for the NBA?
Could we get automated officials for the NBA? Because I'm
telling you, miss balls and strikes have nothing on the
(15:24):
garbage that goes on in the NBA officiating, missed fouls,
phantom fouls, player favoritism, no traveling review, everything, no matter
how tedious and stupid it might be, blatant, dirty scheduling
for refs that have known biases. The NBA needs some
robot officials more than Major League Baseball, and they need
them a SAP. This can't happen soon enough. Let's move
(15:47):
over to the NFL, where Aaron Rodgers is officially a
member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's right, kids. The team
posted a photo of smiling Aaron Rodgers signing his contract
over the weekend with the caption done deal. The veteran
quarterback signed a one year, thirteen point sixty five million
dollar deal after passing a physical at the team facility
(16:10):
last Saturday, and the deal includes ten million dollars guaranteed
and can be worked up to nineteen point five million
dollars with incentives. The team also announced that Rogers will
be wearing number eight in Pittsburgh. He wore that number
in New York after wearing number twelve in Green Bay.
You'll remember Steelers great Terry Bradshaw wore number twelve, and
(16:33):
it's not officially retired, but the team kind of frowns
on giving out that number. But after missing nearly his
entire first season with the Jets because of that blown Achilles,
Rogers started every game last year for New York, but
his overall performance, well, it wasn't always great, pretty inconsistent. Yes,
(16:54):
he passed for nearly four thousand yards. He had twenty
eight touchdowns that is actually third on the Jets single
season record list, but he also had eleven interceptions. He
finished with a forty eight point one quarterback rating, which
ranked him twenty five out of thirty two NFL quarterbacks. Now,
(17:15):
the offensive line in Pittsburgh is going to be very
similar to what he had with the Jets. The Steelers
will not actually have as many offensive weapons for Rogers
as the Jets did. Rogers will get a far better system.
He'll get a way better coaching staff. He'll even get
a way better defense with the Steelers. Here's the downside.
Rogers doesn't move like he used to, and not only
(17:38):
will he now be in a division with Lamar Jackson
and Joe Burrow and Cleveland I think still has a team,
but he'll also be in a division with some pretty
thout defenses. Now, over the last decade or so, the
Pittsburgh Steelers cover right around five hundred every single year.
(17:59):
They always break just above it rather than below it.
Then they barely make the playoffs, then they get sent home,
then they get a bad draft pick because they actually
did a little too well to get a good draft pick.
But now with Rogers in the lineup, now, with the
best quarterback they've had since Big Ben, I mean, if
(18:21):
I had to guess, they're probably going to hover right
around the five hundred mark and then they'll break above
it and then they'll barely make the playoffs and then
they'll get sent home. Okay, so really nothing's going to
change all that much. I know we keep thinking that
Aaron Rodgers is going to be who he was back
in twenty eleven, but he hasn't been that guy in
(18:43):
like over a decade, So every time a team goes
out and gets him, they have the same expectations, and
Pittsburgh seems to have those same expectations right now. On
did it work for those people? No, it never does.
I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking and
might but but it might work for us. Staying in
(19:06):
the NFL, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, in the midst
of a quarterback battle with veteran Daniel Jones, seems to
have aggravated his right shoulder that he had injured back
in twenty twenty three, and they are sidelining him for
an undetermined length of time. Coach Shane Stiken said last
week that Richardson missed all three offseason practices this past
(19:28):
week and is going to be held out of mandatory
mini camp as well now. When they asked him whether
or not Richardson would be ready for the season, Stiking
didn't really have an answer. That begins on July twenty second.
He said, he's not sure. But they're saying that Richardson
aggravated his ac joint, which he sprained five weeks into
(19:50):
his rookie season, and now it's injured again. You'll remember
that injury initially required season ending surgery. This one they say,
won't They just say Richardson needs some rest. But when
you think about Anthony Richardson, that guy was so raw
coming out. He was on the edge of getting benched
every week in college. But he was just so physically gifted. Well,
(20:13):
physically gifted only gets you so far in the NFL.
Remember he took himself out in a game last year
because he got winded. He can make the spectacular plays,
he can't make the simple place. Drafting Anthony Richardson as
high as they did, that was a massive reach by
the Colts on a project quarterback, and right now it
seems to be failing. Get ready for Daniel Jones, Colts fans,
(20:36):
because that's probably what you're going to be getting this year. Finally,
one announcement you may have missed in the world of boxing,
and that is where Vasili Lomachenko has announced his retirement
from boxing at the age of just thirty seven. The
Ukrainian sensation leaves behind a storied career as arguably one
of the greatest amateur boxers in history. And then he
(20:58):
was a three division world old champion. You know Lomachenko's
decision comes just over a year after his last fight,
where he won a TKO over undisputed lightweight champion George
Combosis Junior down in Australia, and there were preliminary talks
of a blockbuster fight with Javonte Tank Davis, but the
(21:18):
fight never really came to fruition. You know, Lomachenko was
just a different fighter. He was just special. His dad
was a trainer. His dad actually had him in dance.
I don't know that we've ever seen a guy move
like he did in the ring, so quick on his feet.
He was so amazing to watch this. As a fighter,
(21:38):
he amassed a stunning record at the amateur mark of
three hundred and ninety six and one. He won Olympic
gold for the Ukraine in two thousand and eight and
in twenty twelve, and then he decided to turn pro.
His career was short, but it was spectacular. He went
eighteen and three with twelve knockouts. You know, I really
(21:59):
believe that Vasilly Lomachenko was not as good as he
could have been because his style was so good that
it fooled the judges. He would simply outpoint people and
the judges never quite understood the fact he was never
getting hit. Hey, Vasilly Lomachenko was a highly skilled, yet
bizarrely highly underrated fighter. We don't have many household names
(22:24):
in the world of boxing. Boxing needs all the help
it can get. Boxing will feel the loss of the
Silly Lomachenko now, as we do so many weeks here
at the Daily Dose. We need to get over to
our Daily Dose Top five. You know, we talked about
it a little bit earlier, but the Oklahoma City Thunder
(22:45):
have been dominant all season. In fact, the Thunder set
the best plus minus record in a single season this
year at a plus one thousand and fifty five points.
That is forty eight more points than the previous record holder,
the seventy two Los Angeles Lakers, one of the greatest
teams in history. For the regular season, the Oklahoma City
(23:07):
Thunder held an eight to twenty nine winning percentage. When
we add in the postseason, they currently have an eight
to ten winning percentage. Hey, that's pretty impressive. Eight one
zero eighty one percent. That's pretty amazing. But how does
it rate all time? Today? Our Daily Dose Top five
is counting down the top five NBA teams that had
(23:30):
the best total winning percentage combining in the regular season
and the postseason. Let's see how OKAC stacks up all time.
Remember they are at eight ten. We start up at
number five. Wow, And we go back to the year
nineteen eighty six where we saw one of the best
teams in NBA history because the eighty five eighty six
(23:51):
Boston Celtics had an insane forty and one record at
home during the regular season. Their only home loss of
that regular season came in December to Portland. Larry Bird
won his third straight MVP this year, and the Celtics
would beat teams by an average of nine point four
points per game. But I mean the Celtics had Bird,
(24:14):
they had Kevin McHale, they had Dannis Johnson, they had
Robert Parrish. They went sixty seven and fifteen in the
regular season, and when the NBA playoffs came around, they
were a perfect ten to zero at home. They would
eventually beat Houston four to two in the finals to
finish off a legendary season. They went fifteen and three
(24:34):
in the postseason total, bringing their winning percentage in for
the year at eight one seven. Yeah, that's actually just
a shade ahead of what the thunder have right now.
The Boston Celtics won the title in eighty six and
they come in today at number five. Okay, we move
on to number four, where we actually have a three
way tie with an eight point forty one winning percentage
(24:58):
over eighty four percent. That's insane. First up, we have
the sixty six sixty seven Philadelphia seventy six Ers, who
are the squad that is actually the oldest on this
list today. But Will Chamberlain, Hal Greer, chat Walker, Billy Cunningham.
They rolled through the regular season with a sixty eight
and thirteen record. The Sixers only lost two games at
(25:19):
home all year. Will Chamberlain was a force. He averaged
twenty four points and twenty four rebounds per game. The
squad had a forty six and four record to start
the season and to this day, that is the best
fifty game start ever. The seventy six ers reached the postseason.
They beat Cincinnati three to one, Boston four to one,
(25:42):
and the Warriors four to two. Their eight forty one
winning percentage has them in a three way tie and
they come into de a number four. Next to number three,
we have another team that finished with an eight forty
one winning percentage. The ninety six ninety seven Chicago Bulls
make a list, and again they were dominant. These Bulls
(26:03):
had Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Robin, and Tony Ko coach.
They went thirty nine and two at home during the
regular season. They beat teams all year by an average
of nearly eleven points per game. You'll remember this was Peake.
Jordan mj averaged thirty points a game, six rebounds a game,
four assists per game, and nearly two steals per game.
(26:26):
This team was just one win shy of becoming only
the second team in NBA history to win seventy games.
They went sixty nine and thirteen in the regular season.
Well in the postseason, the Bulls swept the Bullets, beat
the Hawks in five, beat the Miami Heat in five,
and then beat the Utah Jazz in the finals in
(26:47):
six games. At eight forty one, the ninety seven Bulls
come in today at number three. We reached the number
two most dominant NBA team of all time in terms
of full season winning percentage, and we go back to
one of the greatest teams ever that we just talked
about the seventy one seventy two Los Angeles Lakers, led
by Will Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, and yes, pat Riley.
(27:13):
This was a legendary team. They finished the regular season
sixty nine and thirteen. They were beating teams by an
average of over twelve points per game, and then they
reached the postseason. They beat the Bulls and the Bucks
in a total of ten games, and once they made
it to the seventy two NBA Finals, it took only
(27:35):
five more games to beat the New York Knicks and
get Will Chamberlain the NBA Finals MVP Trophy and the
Lakers first championship since nineteen fifty four, remember when they
were in Minneapolis. But they still claim those titles. You know.
The seventy two Lakers come in today on our list
at number two. So we reached the team that had
(27:56):
the best overall win percentage ever and go back to
a familiar place because Phil Jackson's ninety five ninety six
Chicago Bulls are widely considered to be the best Chicago
Bulls squad of the Michael Jordan era, and they might
be the greatest NBA team ever. They were the first
team in NBA history to finish the regular season with
(28:19):
seventy or more wins. They went seventy two to ten
on the year. They had a winning percentage of eight
seventy eight. During the regular season, the Bulls would only
lose two games at home. They were a perfect ten
to zero at home in the NBA playoffs, and then
when they got to the finals they be a very underrated,
(28:41):
very talented Seattle SuperSonics team in six games. They lost
just three total postseason games. The ninety five ninety six
Chicago Bulls team will be remembered on both sides of
the ball, as they have the best offensive and best
defensive ratings for any team in NBA history. They also
(29:02):
set the record with an incredible eight seventy eight winning percentage.
That's amazing. Now, one word of note, we could give
an honorable mention to the fifteen to sixteen Golden State Warriors.
They actually finished the season with a winning percentage of
eight ninety However, key difference. They lost the finals. Remember
(29:25):
they lost Game seven to Lebron James and the Cleveland
Cavaliers after blowing a three to one series lead. Sorry,
Golden State, you don't get to be in the conversation,
you actually gotta finish the job. Hey, the Oklahoma City
thunder have been dominant this season, but their current win
percentage still places a mache behind this group. But just
(29:47):
like those sixteen Warriors, it will all be for not
if they don't finish the job and actually come home
with the title. Hey, next week in the Dose, We're
gonna be doing something a little bit different. We're actually
going to be taking a very brief look at the
NFL off season and the most impactful moves that we
have seen. So be sure you check out the Dose
(30:08):
and be sure you let a friend know to do
the same. I can't want to say thank you to
each and every one of you for listening to the
Debly Dose every week. Thank you for the emails, thanks
for the text, thank you for the tweets, But more
than anything, thank you for sharing the show, for sharing
the videos, for sharing the articles. We absolutely love it
when you do that. Have to say thank you to
Jess P. Could not do any of this without you.
I will see you on next Wednesday. Have a great week, everybody. Now,
(30:37):
if I told you once, I've told you a thousand times.
Boys counts
Wednesday, Juno eleventh, twenty twenty five, you are listening to
the Daily Dose Sports podcast and I am your host,
Clinton Daily, coming to you from my iiced here in Denver, Colorado,
and we are back for another week of talking sports
with a dose of common sense. Hey, Happy Wednesday to you.
Hope you had a good weekend. I hope that your
week is going well, that you and your family and
friends are staying strong and healthy. Right now, and let's
(00:29):
just jump right in right now as the NBA Finals
are now even at one game piece with Game three
scheduled for tonight in Indiana. Yeah, after giving up a
fifteen point lead in Game one to lose on their
home floor, the Oklahoma City Thunder left no room for
(00:51):
comeback in game two. On Sunday night, the Thunder jumped
on the Indiana Pacers in Game two, and honestly, that
game was never really in dab shake. Gilses Alexander scored
thirty four in game two, But the key for me
was not so much that because he was good in
game one. The key for me was the biggs for
(01:12):
Oklahoma City actually showed up in game one. Chet Holmgren
and Isaiah Hartenstein were basically even no shows, and the
Thunder were actually out rebounded fifty six to thirty nine. Well,
their team defense didn't do much in Game one either,
but they showed up in Game two. They contested shots,
(01:34):
they rebounded, the Thunder controlled the boards on Sunday forty
three thirty five, and the bench stepped up in game
two as well. You know, I thought going into the
series that the Thunder depth was going to be a problem,
but in Game one, the Pacers bench actually outscored them
thirty nine to twenty eight. What are you doing, Oklahoma City,
(01:55):
It's not I have played my Denver Nuggets. Well. In
Game two, they flipped that big time. They outscore the
Indiana bench forty eight thirty four. Now, prior to the
series last week, I picked the Thunder in five games
and then they go out and they lose Game one.
Am I going to adjust my pick? No, I'm not.
(02:18):
I'm gonna be stubborn. I'm not changing that pick. I
still think the Thunder win this in five games. Game
three tonight in Indiana will be big because if Indy
gets this win tonight, hey, then the series does get interesting.
I'm gonna have to see it to believe it though,
I am sticking thunder in five. Hey, remember you should
(02:38):

that you need. Hey, Today on the Dose, we actually
have a ton of sports news that came out this week.
(03:21):
Plus we will have a Daily Dose Top five for
you today and it is going to be a little
bit NBA flavored. Here's a question for you to think about.
Are the Oklahoma City Thunder proving to be one of
the most dominant teams of all time? Something to think about.
We'll get to that in just one moment. But first,
the Stanley Cup Final has been absolutely wild through the
(03:45):
first two games, with both a double overtime game in
Game one and then an overtime game in Game two
between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers. They split
Game one and Game two. So what would we see
in Game three on Monday night? Well it was wild,
but it was wild in a very very different way.
(04:06):
With the series tied at one, the pressure was on
Edmonton to try to take Game three on the road.
Remember those first two games were played in Edmonton. However,
the Florida Panthers jumped on them flourid to one, and
Edmonton actually let the pressure boil over. The Oilers basically decided, Hey,
(04:28):
if we can't beat them, let's just try to beat
them up. How about that? The third period was full
of fights. If you haven't watched it, I'm telling you
go back and watch it. You'll be entertained. Here's the
bad news for Edmonton. Though they lost the game six
to one, they're now down two to one in the series.
Oh what, also, they lost most of the fights on
(04:51):
Monday and eight two. It was a complete and utter
meltdown for the Oilers. Now, if I told you once,
I've told you a thousand times, boys, scouts, and you know,
it just made me wonder if it is starting to
set in that they can't beat Florida. They just can't
beat them, and they know it because on Monday night
they resorted to just dumb penalties, whacking guys with a stick,
(05:15):
just slashing guys across the back of the lake. The
ref sees that you're going to the box, you're getting ejected.
They just got stupid on Monday night, and they still
can't beat Florida. Florida just gets to every loose puck.
They pinch your scorers, they smother you, and then they
themselves generate scoring opportunities. Watching that game on Monday, no
(05:38):
that Edmonton olas is there in big trouble. This isn't over,
It's not quite over, but it sure looked like Edmonton
was feeling the pressure on Monday night. And something to
keep in mind that Edmonton roster, the way it's built. Yeah,
this could be kind of a do or die situation
for them. Game four is tomorrow night in Florida, and
(05:58):
it feels like Edmonton back is against the wall. If
they come back and they get one tomorrow night. Okay,
it's anybody serious, It's a three game series. Lose tomorrow night.
It's just a matter of time, isn't it. They're probably
going to go down and Canada is probably going to
be taking a big loss. Big news in the NCUBA
(06:19):
sports world this past week, as Judge Claudia Wilkin granted
final approval of the House versus nc doublea settlement last
week that paves the way for schools to pay their
college athletes directly for the very first time. That settlement
establishes a ten year revenue sharing model that allows each
(06:41):
school to distribute up to around twenty and a half
million dollars in revenue two athletes starting this season July first.
I believe, in addition to any nil money that they
already get from boosters. So now schools can pay athletes directly.
It's coming and it's coming fast. Each school's athletic department
(07:03):
can decide how it will divide that money among their athletes.
Not many major programs have shared their budget plans, but
those that have say they will spend the overwhelming majority
of their money on football and men's basketball. Why it's
pretty simple because those sports actually make money. Now, athletes
(07:25):
are still allowed to make money through their name and likeness.
So here's the big question. Is this a good thing? Well,
we'll see, I guess. Now, maybe it allows for more
transparency as to what kids are actually getting paid. Then again,
(07:45):
we know the boosters can also still pay them for
name and likeness. Okay, so maybe it gives the schools
more pull to actually give players, you know, requirements in
order to earn their money. Maybe you got to play
in a ball game, maybe actually got to show up
for practice, maybe actually got to take care of some
of your business to get paid. But again, they get
(08:08):
that booster money. And I mean, they could just go
to another school. They can transfer whenever they want, so
it doesn't really matter. So again, is this a good thing?
I'm gonna hope it is, but my brain tells me
it won't be. In fact, what my brain tells me
(08:30):
is that this is going to crush the mid majors.
It's going to crush women's sports, and it's going to
crush those non premier sports that aren't football and men's basketball.
That's what my brain tells me. I know the powers
that be are gonna tell me I'm way off on that,
but that's what my brain tells me. All those other sports.
(08:50):
Remember how your kid was getting a scholarship to play lacrosse, Yeah,
that's gone. They're just going to eliminate those sports. Oh,
they'll keep like women's basketball, maybe sol that's going to
be it. They're going to get rid of those sports.
I hope I'm wrong, but man, I'm tired of being
right staying in college sports. You know, for years, NCAA
(09:13):
tournament expansion has felt like it was off in the
distance somewhere. Yes, it's coming, we're not sure when, but
it will be coming eventually. Well when could already be
this next year. NCAA President Charlie Baker says that would
be the goal to try and do this for next year.
(09:34):
We've been talking about seventy two and seventy six teams
in the NCAA Tournament. It would obviously be one of
the other It won't be any more than that, okay,
but adding four or eight more teams would likely mean more.
What play in style games? You know, those play in
games we love so much. That happened on Tuesday night
when no one's paying attention. So the first four might
(09:57):
end up becoming the first eight or the first twelve,
not in the distant future, by next March. Ugh, again,
I'm not sure that's a good thing. Look, I know
the popular take in the sports media world is that
this is bad and this is dumb, and I won't lie.
I think this is bad and I think this is dumb.
(10:18):
Having said that, I think the tournament was perfect at
sixty four. We didn't need to change anything already. Then again,
I do love me some March madness. So is more
March madness inherently a bad thing? Probably? Not sure. We're
probably gonna see some more bad games early. Then again,
(10:40):
there's nothing we can do about it. So instead of
the sixty ninth and seventieth team complaining, we're gonna now
get either the seventy third or the seventy seventh or
whatever team complaining. Either way, someone's gonna be whining that
they didn't get in. So I guess we might as
well embrace it, because like it or not, is happening.
(11:01):
Jumping over to the NBA, NBA commissioner Adam Silver says
he is taking a more successful league's idea for their
All Star events in an attempt to try to rehabilitate
the NBA's struggling All Star Weekend. Silver confirmed last week
during an appearance on FS one that the twenty twenty
(11:21):
six NBA All Star Game could be adopting a USA
versus World format going forward. He says they're taking inspiration
from the NHL's Four Nations faceoff. Here's what that alien
had to say. What better time to feature some form
of USA against the World. I'm not exactly sure what
(11:42):
the format will be yet. I paid a lot of
attention to what the NHL did, and that was a
huge success. Now the NBA has pivoted several times from
the traditional East versus West, but then we've just seen
NBA players not really trying. They tried a tournament style
(12:02):
All Star Game, but no one's watching, no one cares,
and honestly, player empowerment has dulled the All Star Game completely.
Players don't care about playing, they care about their personal brand,
they don't care to compete. And Silver is trying to
revive All Star Weekend because we saw the NHL had
(12:24):
that four Nation's face off and it pulled massive TV ratings,
in fact, with ESPN's broadcast pulling nine point three million
viewers on those games. That's the most watched non Olympic
hockey game ever in Canada. Sixteen million we're watching. Meanwhile,
(12:45):
the NBA's All Star weekend drew four point seven million viewers.
I mean that's awful. Here's the problem for this scenario.
Here's the problem for Adam Silver. Yes, the best world
players might literally be better than in the USA's players
right now, the problem will be the depth of that
world team. Here's the other problem. A world team doesn't
(13:10):
exactly spark any hometown patriotism. I mean, playing for the
world team will not be the same for someone like
Nikola Jokic as playing for his home country of Serbia,
So why would he care. Here's the bottom line. And
the NBA doesn't want to hear this, but it's absolutely true.
Like most of what the NBA is currently doing, I
(13:31):
just don't think this works. NBA players hate playing basketball.
I don't know why. But you can't fix that with gimmicks.
You can't make them care. And right now they don't care.
They could care less. They don't want to play on
a regular season night. They're trying to sit out. You
think they're going to go play in an All Star
game just for fun. You must be kidding me. That
(13:54):
isn't how this works. Speaking of league changes, Major League
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says he is ready to officially
propose introducing automated balls and strikes to on field competition
in regular season games starting next year. That's what he
said last week. He says that the league wants the
(14:15):
system to start next year after a trial run during
spring training this past year. And as we've seen, Manfred
has actually pushed some things through. I mean he upp
pace the play, he got that pitchclock installed. Game times
have dropped. He even did the extra innings ghost runner stuff,
which is still a little weird to me. But it's
shortened games and it's actually been a little bit successful.
(14:38):
So the challenge system for balls and strikes it might
be an improvement. I'm not sure will it length and
game times? Will it negatively impact the on field product
with fans and players, because what they're talking about is
a review if you want to challenge a ball versus
a strike, so you might be slunging the game back down. Now,
(15:00):
Actually give man for it a little bit of credit
because he has had the guts to make some of
these moves. Okay, but hear me out forget baseball hardly
an mus watch. Anyways, Is there any way we could
get Adam Silver to go get abs officials for the NBA?
Could we get automated officials for the NBA? Because I'm
telling you, miss balls and strikes have nothing on the
(15:24):
garbage that goes on in the NBA officiating, missed fouls,
phantom fouls, player favoritism, no traveling review, everything, no matter
how tedious and stupid it might be, blatant, dirty scheduling
for refs that have known biases. The NBA needs some
robot officials more than Major League Baseball, and they need
them a SAP. This can't happen soon enough. Let's move
(15:47):
over to the NFL, where Aaron Rodgers is officially a
member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's right, kids. The team
posted a photo of smiling Aaron Rodgers signing his contract
over the weekend with the caption done deal. The veteran
quarterback signed a one year, thirteen point sixty five million
dollar deal after passing a physical at the team facility
(16:10):
last Saturday, and the deal includes ten million dollars guaranteed
and can be worked up to nineteen point five million
dollars with incentives. The team also announced that Rogers will
be wearing number eight in Pittsburgh. He wore that number
in New York after wearing number twelve in Green Bay.
You'll remember Steelers great Terry Bradshaw wore number twelve, and
(16:33):
it's not officially retired, but the team kind of frowns
on giving out that number. But after missing nearly his
entire first season with the Jets because of that blown Achilles,
Rogers started every game last year for New York, but
his overall performance, well, it wasn't always great, pretty inconsistent. Yes,
(16:54):
he passed for nearly four thousand yards. He had twenty
eight touchdowns that is actually third on the Jets single
season record list, but he also had eleven interceptions. He
finished with a forty eight point one quarterback rating, which
ranked him twenty five out of thirty two NFL quarterbacks. Now,
(17:15):
the offensive line in Pittsburgh is going to be very
similar to what he had with the Jets. The Steelers
will not actually have as many offensive weapons for Rogers
as the Jets did. Rogers will get a far better system.
He'll get a way better coaching staff. He'll even get
a way better defense with the Steelers. Here's the downside.
Rogers doesn't move like he used to, and not only
(17:38):
will he now be in a division with Lamar Jackson
and Joe Burrow and Cleveland I think still has a team,
but he'll also be in a division with some pretty
thout defenses. Now, over the last decade or so, the
Pittsburgh Steelers cover right around five hundred every single year.
(17:59):
They always break just above it rather than below it.
Then they barely make the playoffs, then they get sent home,
then they get a bad draft pick because they actually
did a little too well to get a good draft pick.
But now with Rogers in the lineup, now, with the
best quarterback they've had since Big Ben, I mean, if
(18:21):
I had to guess, they're probably going to hover right
around the five hundred mark and then they'll break above
it and then they'll barely make the playoffs and then
they'll get sent home. Okay, so really nothing's going to
change all that much. I know we keep thinking that
Aaron Rodgers is going to be who he was back
in twenty eleven, but he hasn't been that guy in
(18:43):
like over a decade, So every time a team goes
out and gets him, they have the same expectations, and
Pittsburgh seems to have those same expectations right now. On
did it work for those people? No, it never does.
I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking and
might but but it might work for us. Staying in
(19:06):
the NFL, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, in the midst
of a quarterback battle with veteran Daniel Jones, seems to
have aggravated his right shoulder that he had injured back
in twenty twenty three, and they are sidelining him for
an undetermined length of time. Coach Shane Stiken said last
week that Richardson missed all three offseason practices this past
(19:28):
week and is going to be held out of mandatory
mini camp as well now. When they asked him whether
or not Richardson would be ready for the season, Stiking
didn't really have an answer. That begins on July twenty second.
He said, he's not sure. But they're saying that Richardson
aggravated his ac joint, which he sprained five weeks into
(19:50):
his rookie season, and now it's injured again. You'll remember
that injury initially required season ending surgery. This one they say,
won't They just say Richardson needs some rest. But when
you think about Anthony Richardson, that guy was so raw
coming out. He was on the edge of getting benched
every week in college. But he was just so physically gifted. Well,
(20:13):
physically gifted only gets you so far in the NFL.
Remember he took himself out in a game last year
because he got winded. He can make the spectacular plays,
he can't make the simple place. Drafting Anthony Richardson as
high as they did, that was a massive reach by
the Colts on a project quarterback, and right now it
seems to be failing. Get ready for Daniel Jones, Colts fans,
(20:36):
because that's probably what you're going to be getting this year. Finally,
one announcement you may have missed in the world of boxing,
and that is where Vasili Lomachenko has announced his retirement
from boxing at the age of just thirty seven. The
Ukrainian sensation leaves behind a storied career as arguably one
of the greatest amateur boxers in history. And then he
(20:58):
was a three division world old champion. You know Lomachenko's
decision comes just over a year after his last fight,
where he won a TKO over undisputed lightweight champion George
Combosis Junior down in Australia, and there were preliminary talks
of a blockbuster fight with Javonte Tank Davis, but the
(21:18):
fight never really came to fruition. You know, Lomachenko was
just a different fighter. He was just special. His dad
was a trainer. His dad actually had him in dance.
I don't know that we've ever seen a guy move
like he did in the ring, so quick on his feet.
He was so amazing to watch this. As a fighter,
(21:38):
he amassed a stunning record at the amateur mark of
three hundred and ninety six and one. He won Olympic
gold for the Ukraine in two thousand and eight and
in twenty twelve, and then he decided to turn pro.
His career was short, but it was spectacular. He went
eighteen and three with twelve knockouts. You know, I really
(21:59):
believe that Vasilly Lomachenko was not as good as he
could have been because his style was so good that
it fooled the judges. He would simply outpoint people and
the judges never quite understood the fact he was never
getting hit. Hey, Vasilly Lomachenko was a highly skilled, yet
bizarrely highly underrated fighter. We don't have many household names
(22:24):
in the world of boxing. Boxing needs all the help
it can get. Boxing will feel the loss of the
Silly Lomachenko now, as we do so many weeks here
at the Daily Dose. We need to get over to
our Daily Dose Top five. You know, we talked about
it a little bit earlier, but the Oklahoma City Thunder
(22:45):
have been dominant all season. In fact, the Thunder set
the best plus minus record in a single season this
year at a plus one thousand and fifty five points.
That is forty eight more points than the previous record holder,
the seventy two Los Angeles Lakers, one of the greatest
teams in history. For the regular season, the Oklahoma City
(23:07):
Thunder held an eight to twenty nine winning percentage. When
we add in the postseason, they currently have an eight
to ten winning percentage. Hey, that's pretty impressive. Eight one
zero eighty one percent. That's pretty amazing. But how does
it rate all time? Today? Our Daily Dose Top five
is counting down the top five NBA teams that had
(23:30):
the best total winning percentage combining in the regular season
and the postseason. Let's see how OKAC stacks up all time.
Remember they are at eight ten. We start up at
number five. Wow, And we go back to the year
nineteen eighty six where we saw one of the best
teams in NBA history because the eighty five eighty six
(23:51):
Boston Celtics had an insane forty and one record at
home during the regular season. Their only home loss of
that regular season came in December to Portland. Larry Bird
won his third straight MVP this year, and the Celtics
would beat teams by an average of nine point four
points per game. But I mean the Celtics had Bird,
(24:14):
they had Kevin McHale, they had Dannis Johnson, they had
Robert Parrish. They went sixty seven and fifteen in the
regular season, and when the NBA playoffs came around, they
were a perfect ten to zero at home. They would
eventually beat Houston four to two in the finals to
finish off a legendary season. They went fifteen and three
(24:34):
in the postseason total, bringing their winning percentage in for
the year at eight one seven. Yeah, that's actually just
a shade ahead of what the thunder have right now.
The Boston Celtics won the title in eighty six and
they come in today at number five. Okay, we move
on to number four, where we actually have a three
way tie with an eight point forty one winning percentage
(24:58):
over eighty four percent. That's insane. First up, we have
the sixty six sixty seven Philadelphia seventy six Ers, who
are the squad that is actually the oldest on this
list today. But Will Chamberlain, Hal Greer, chat Walker, Billy Cunningham.
They rolled through the regular season with a sixty eight
and thirteen record. The Sixers only lost two games at
(25:19):
home all year. Will Chamberlain was a force. He averaged
twenty four points and twenty four rebounds per game. The
squad had a forty six and four record to start
the season and to this day, that is the best
fifty game start ever. The seventy six ers reached the postseason.
They beat Cincinnati three to one, Boston four to one,
(25:42):
and the Warriors four to two. Their eight forty one
winning percentage has them in a three way tie and
they come into de a number four. Next to number three,
we have another team that finished with an eight forty
one winning percentage. The ninety six ninety seven Chicago Bulls
make a list, and again they were dominant. These Bulls
(26:03):
had Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Robin, and Tony Ko coach.
They went thirty nine and two at home during the
regular season. They beat teams all year by an average
of nearly eleven points per game. You'll remember this was Peake.
Jordan mj averaged thirty points a game, six rebounds a game,
four assists per game, and nearly two steals per game.
(26:26):
This team was just one win shy of becoming only
the second team in NBA history to win seventy games.
They went sixty nine and thirteen in the regular season.
Well in the postseason, the Bulls swept the Bullets, beat
the Hawks in five, beat the Miami Heat in five,
and then beat the Utah Jazz in the finals in
(26:47):
six games. At eight forty one, the ninety seven Bulls
come in today at number three. We reached the number
two most dominant NBA team of all time in terms
of full season winning percentage, and we go back to
one of the greatest teams ever that we just talked
about the seventy one seventy two Los Angeles Lakers, led
by Will Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, and yes, pat Riley.
(27:13):
This was a legendary team. They finished the regular season
sixty nine and thirteen. They were beating teams by an
average of over twelve points per game, and then they
reached the postseason. They beat the Bulls and the Bucks
in a total of ten games, and once they made
it to the seventy two NBA Finals, it took only
(27:35):
five more games to beat the New York Knicks and
get Will Chamberlain the NBA Finals MVP Trophy and the
Lakers first championship since nineteen fifty four, remember when they
were in Minneapolis. But they still claim those titles. You know.
The seventy two Lakers come in today on our list
at number two. So we reached the team that had
(27:56):
the best overall win percentage ever and go back to
a familiar place because Phil Jackson's ninety five ninety six
Chicago Bulls are widely considered to be the best Chicago
Bulls squad of the Michael Jordan era, and they might
be the greatest NBA team ever. They were the first
team in NBA history to finish the regular season with
(28:19):
seventy or more wins. They went seventy two to ten
on the year. They had a winning percentage of eight
seventy eight. During the regular season, the Bulls would only
lose two games at home. They were a perfect ten
to zero at home in the NBA playoffs, and then
when they got to the finals they be a very underrated,
(28:41):
very talented Seattle SuperSonics team in six games. They lost
just three total postseason games. The ninety five ninety six
Chicago Bulls team will be remembered on both sides of
the ball, as they have the best offensive and best
defensive ratings for any team in NBA history. They also
(29:02):
set the record with an incredible eight seventy eight winning percentage.
That's amazing. Now, one word of note, we could give
an honorable mention to the fifteen to sixteen Golden State Warriors.
They actually finished the season with a winning percentage of
eight ninety However, key difference. They lost the finals. Remember
(29:25):
they lost Game seven to Lebron James and the Cleveland
Cavaliers after blowing a three to one series lead. Sorry,
Golden State, you don't get to be in the conversation,
you actually gotta finish the job. Hey, the Oklahoma City
thunder have been dominant this season, but their current win
percentage still places a mache behind this group. But just
(29:47):
like those sixteen Warriors, it will all be for not
if they don't finish the job and actually come home
with the title. Hey, next week in the Dose, We're
gonna be doing something a little bit different. We're actually
going to be taking a very brief look at the
NFL off season and the most impactful moves that we
have seen. So be sure you check out the Dose
(30:08):
and be sure you let a friend know to do
the same. I can't want to say thank you to
each and every one of you for listening to the
Debly Dose every week. Thank you for the emails, thanks
for the text, thank you for the tweets, But more
than anything, thank you for sharing the show, for sharing
the videos, for sharing the articles. We absolutely love it
when you do that. Have to say thank you to
Jess P. Could not do any of this without you.
I will see you on next Wednesday. Have a great week, everybody. Now,
(30:37):
if I told you once, I've told you a thousand times.
