00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:15.880
You're listening to the Downbeat on ninety
seven to one, the Freak in thirty

2
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:20.920
minutes. What the city of Dallas
wants you to know about Monday because they're

3
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:25.480
very worried about it. That's an
eclipse tease. But we won't do a

4
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:29.160
lot of eclipse because I'm telling you
a little over eclipse. But you can

5
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.960
on Monday go see the Ben and
Skin Show, the Speakeasy live at Clyde

6
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.520
Warren Park. Make those plans,
get out there, support the thing if

7
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:41.240
you'd like, I tell you too. Pretty cool story from down in Houston.

8
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:48.320
It's got some news audio involved.
Involves a new weapon of self defense.

9
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.479
Yeah, so it'll be fun for
the slang shot. It's not a

10
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:58.479
slingshot on the wrist rocket. Did
see slingshot the other day at Walmart when

11
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:02.000
I was shopping for my three year
old niece's birthday. Was it a high

12
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.799
quality black one with the wrist leverage
pad? No? Is that thing wicked?

13
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.040
With the thing? When I discovered
that those are available as opposed to

14
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:17.439
the one that I made. Yeah, because of reading the Dennis the Menace

15
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.159
comics and he always had one hanging
out of his back pocket, and like

16
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:25.519
I want that would make them find
a good strong why you know, piece

17
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.959
of wood? Yeah, yeah,
just something a branch of tree, rubber

18
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.560
band, get your rubber bands and
your little thing. Make a pocket but

19
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.359
leather. Cut some leather and make
a hole with a dowel punch. Damn

20
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.680
really and I found that, dude. You can go to like a sporting

21
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.359
goods store and get that thing with
the arm brace. Yes, my good

22
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.079
armbrace. Kevin. From where I'm
sitting, I would you pick the tooth

23
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.799
I want to knock out of your
face? Smullers aren't giving some problems.

24
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.920
Yeah. The best projectile you could
find if you, especially living in a

25
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.519
small town like me and Kevin.
You industry and oil fields and all that

26
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:07.799
crap is everywhere you will stumble across
twelve random ball bearings just walking down the

27
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.680
street. Those are perfect. You
could really kill somebody with. Or you

28
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.919
could pick it up and recycle and
get a little bit of money back to

29
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.680
you could do that. Screw that. I'm creating as much damage as possible

30
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.680
with my new slingshot point is I
was going to get it from Malcolm,

31
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:27.680
but then I was like, you
may not need us need Malcolm. Runner

32
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.800
out of the slingshot. So that's
why I didn't do it. Oh so

33
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:37.280
I didn't do it. But speaking
of weapons gone bad, you didn't hit

34
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:42.120
Malcolm with the old arrow through the
head yesterday. He wasn't really in the

35
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.800
mood for arrow in the head yesterday. Oh no, Yeah, what happened?

36
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.599
Nothing? No, I honestly,
I put it in my computer bag

37
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.400
and I forgot So I saw it
today when I was I saw it last

38
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.319
night after you know, we'd had
our time together, and it's like,

39
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.120
oh man, that's in here.
So I pulled it out and it's it's

40
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.800
on my desk. Let's try it
today. Wait till he's in a good

41
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:06.199
mood. We'll try it tomorrow.
Tomorrow. Yeah, when he said we

42
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.360
need him hyped up, good mood, awake, eyes open, locked in

43
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:12.919
and where is daddy? Where'sdaddy?
Yes, walk in arrow through the head?

44
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:19.000
Yeah, record whatever you want,
anybody. He'll say what's on Daddy's

45
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.599
head? And it will be alarming. He doesn't know what it is.

46
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.479
He'll he'll think it's a weird hat, but I'll record it. I don't

47
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.840
know. I think people know what
that is. When there's a stick going

48
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:35.199
through your brain and imminent death what
it means. She's not going to ask

49
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.879
me if I was attacked by Iroquois. He might. I don't know till

50
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:46.680
you do it tomorrow. Um,
yes, I didn't get it. That's

51
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.680
the point of that. I don't
know. Thank you. Sports Chase Elliott

52
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.520
eight ten Nascar man. The only
thing they could compete with the wrist the

53
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:06.000
wrist rocket was the three person water
balloon sling shots. Yeah, two squatters,

54
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:15.000
squatted, arms extended. You can
watch football field man road sitting back

55
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.639
with all your weight, Yes,
and then you got them wet bam.

56
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.399
That says the point. We were
at one of my dad's boat races and

57
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:25.360
we're in like a boat house and
just not at the race boats, but

58
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.079
there's all these other sailboats and boats, spectator boats, and we were just

59
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.720
trying to plow them with these with
these water balloons and what there's really no

60
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:39.040
victim in a water thing. When
you're by the water in boats, the

61
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:40.600
worst can happen. You get a
little wet. What do you think was

62
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.439
gonna happen today? So even they're
like, yeah, they're trying to like

63
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.519
they're encouraging you to hit them.
Oh, you can shoot those things forever.

64
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.000
Water boons were always fun, always
fun, still still fun water balloons,

65
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:55.560
and they always will be living water
balloon. Lately we should water balloon.

66
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.439
What do you mean we let's go
over to Cash's house and just start

67
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:04.040
telling water balloons in his living room. That'd be fun. This Saturday ruined

68
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:10.040
the Final Four, so we had
MAVs and Rangers action last night. Tomorrow,

69
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:15.360
I would like to break the seal
on the draft for a minute.

70
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.120
I promise it won't be boring,
But would y'all be interested in? Like

71
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.519
what I kind of think. We've
got to pin down what exactly the Cowboys

72
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.720
are looking for, and a couple
of interesting players and their backgrounds and things

73
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.199
like that, M and that.
Tomorrow's three weeks from the draft, So

74
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:38.199
tomorrow maybe a little Cowboy Draft special
around here. Tomorrow's three weeks. Tomorrow's

75
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.920
three weeks in the NFL Draft.
Okay, break the seal? Yes?

76
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.560
Do you still grind the tape?
Not like I did? I mean I

77
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.079
did, but I used to go
to like Cowboy headquarters and grind the tape.

78
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.639
I mean yeah, and it is. I that was a weird thing

79
00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.160
because I would get made fun of
by people. But I would never use

80
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:01.560
the term grind the tape. I
just say I watched them guys tonight.

81
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.879
You're now under the protection of Baylis
Sroy. Yeah, no one will even

82
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.680
think about making fun of you again
for anything. I actually love doing it

83
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.040
that it was funny. You won't
because you don't have when people. Yeah,

84
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.399
we can't when well, normal people
had to grind the tape. I

85
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:24.720
can get into the Cowboys database and
it is here's every pass Michael Gallup cot

86
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:29.639
in college. This is very laid
out. Here's all the fumbles that Tony

87
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.399
Pollard had every forty years. Like, it's all broken down. You see

88
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.000
what you want to see. I
want to see every throw Pat Patrick Mahomes

89
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.240
ever made that was over twenty yards. You know, you just go look

90
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.959
at whatever you want to see in
college or pro. Yeah. No,

91
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.240
I think it does help though,
to watch with quarterbacks full games to see

92
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.600
how they react to getting hit in
the face in the first quarter. Yeah,

93
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.279
those quarterbacks are interesting. Somebodys did
You're good this year? So that's

94
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.399
that's you know. No, I'm
into that. Mike McDaniel talk about that

95
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.199
in that SI article we read last
year about how their video department is so

96
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:06.959
good. You can kick any scenario
third downs and where the defensive tackle lined

97
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.920
up left or right, a set
like you can just put anything you want

98
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.560
instantly. You have a a compilation
video. It's great and I'm normally online

99
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.759
not a huge fan of the compilation
videos. Yeah, me neither. You

100
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:25.000
want the full experience. I want
to have a nice building storyline and not

101
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:29.560
just the compilation VID. But apparently
some people love compilation bids because they're always

102
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:33.279
getting pushed on you. You will
always going to shove down your throat.

103
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:44.240
Mikey prefers the full thirty seven minute
episode of Tonight's Girlfriend the Jeffy. But

104
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.240
yes, they have access to an
incredible amount of compilation videos. Yes,

105
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.720
this is what we're talking about,
because Kevin's gonna shot watching somebody to prepare

106
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:55.720
for the draft tomorrow. We're gonna
do that tomorrow, right here on ninety

107
00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:00.439
seven, let's talk about Well,
boys, you had a nine o'clock tip

108
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.600
last night here on the Freak.
I did it. I didn't. I

109
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:09.199
went slewed halftime and fell asleep to
the quiet, peaceful tones of Chuck Cooperstein

110
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.959
on the radio rap by my bed
They do. Yeah, I kind of

111
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.800
the same I rocked a good probably
four and a half hours of sleep last

112
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.839
night, I know, and I
wasn't going to I watched the first half

113
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.160
and like, you know what,
it's about nine thirty, I'm gonna go

114
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.600
ahead and just go to bed.
And I did, and I saw the

115
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.840
remote there, Okay, let's just
check in. And then the MAVs started

116
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.519
going crazy. In the beginning of
the third it was super fun. And

117
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.879
then they just tinkled that away and
it was close, and then the fourth

118
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:50.120
quarter just kind of just was what
it was. And look, I didn't

119
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.759
know that they weren't going to have
lively last night. I think that made

120
00:08:52.799 --> 00:09:00.440
a huge difference, because what that
means is too much Maxie and too much

121
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:07.200
Dwight Powell. Dwight Pile's playing and
now it's Maxy right now. What happened?

122
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.840
It seems like three years ago he
was considered a pretty deadly three point

123
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:20.320
shooter. Now, granted he's still
you know, and I guess maybe average

124
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.120
to above average defender, HM,
but his time on the court, I'm

125
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.679
always just shaking my f and head. And then every once in a while

126
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.519
he'll you know, hit a three. That's like, okay, MAVs needed

127
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.080
that to stop this run. But
it seems like those moments are about one

128
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.320
out of every ten games. I
think the bottom line is, like MAXI

129
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:46.799
and Dwight should be ten minute max
players in the NBA. If that,

130
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:52.080
dude we've had the last five years, I know they're starting or getting twenty

131
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.679
two minutes. And I think just
by us getting Gafford in PJ Washington,

132
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:00.279
it shows you, like, oh, maybe those dudes shouldn't have been getting

133
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:05.360
significant minutes for the better part of
a decade. Love them both why Paul

134
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.440
is one of the most intelligent players
in the NBA and Max he's seemingly one

135
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.799
of the kindest humans on earth.
Because everyone that comes from Wursburg, Germany

136
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.799
is a good person. Yes,
unless anyone historically is from there. I

137
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.480
don't I have not your grandparents.
I've not done the long term research,

138
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.840
but what you know your experience in
my experiences, yes, kind people come

139
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.360
from Wurtzburg, but they they shouldn't
be getting more than maybe ten minutes a

140
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.879
game, and they wouldn't be.
But dude, the issue Derek Lively essentially

141
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.120
going to miss the rest of their
regular season to like it. Yeah,

142
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.200
I don't know if it's official,
But yeah, I think so, And

143
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:46.919
that's not good, that's not the
best. Such a such an important important

144
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.840
component of what this team's identity has
become is you always have either Luca or

145
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:58.720
Kyrie on the court, and you
always have either Lively or Danny Gafford on

146
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.960
the court at any time unless it's
garbage time at the end. And there's

147
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.440
another thing that I noticed last night, and maybe you guys have noticed this

148
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:15.080
too. We've been seeing a lot
of Hardy and and Kyrie playing together.

149
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:22.000
I don't want Hardy running the point
and Kyrie on the wing in those situations

150
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.960
that seems to happen every time those
guys are on the floor together. Now,

151
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.559
he's just trying to get Hardy involved. I mean, Kyrie's playing off

152
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.720
ball a lot now with Lucas.
I mean, it's like Kyrie's dominant position

153
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:39.679
now. Its great that that should
not even be in question. That if

154
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.879
Kyrie is on the floor without Luca, he is running the damn point.

155
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:48.000
He is, he is commanding the
offense. Everything goes through him, and

156
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.080
that is not the case. And
I saw Hardy, Yeah he made a

157
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.879
couple of decent shots, but I
also saw him taking some stuff that was

158
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.559
ill advised and making decisions that you
kind of scratch your head a little bit

159
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.919
that you know that Kyrie wouldn't do. But look, the bottom line,

160
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.399
this team, the Mavericks, weren't
going to win out. That's unrealistic.

161
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.480
Right, This is a playoff atmosphere, and every game is like a playoff

162
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.120
for them. Even if they you
know, whatever, they end up wherever

163
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.440
they land in the playoffs, they're
not gonna sweep to through the finals,

164
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.799
right, and these all had that
vibe and they're playing on the road.

165
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.440
That Golden State team had more to
play for than Dallas did as far as

166
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.200
positioning and getting into the just getting
into the playoffs for them at this point,

167
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.759
you know, it just it kind
of felt like this was going to

168
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:33.679
be a game that the MAVs might
struggle with. And my god, dude,

169
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.559
can Golden State play f and defense
when they want to or not?

170
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:43.320
Yeah? That was amazing because things
that Dallas was able to do pretty easily

171
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.919
in during their winning streak or not, you know whatever, they won like

172
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.080
twelve out of thirteen or something crazy
like that, they those things weren't coming

173
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:58.639
so easily last night because Golden State
played like they needed it. Yeah,

174
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.639
and we I mean it was weird
because Curry was kind of off. He's

175
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:03.759
five or fifteen in the game.
But it was the kind of the Wigan

176
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.360
Show and that second unit for Golden
State because they went on a run mid

177
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.639
to second quarter and then I thought, all right, this will being easy

178
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.600
when we can crash and then the
MAVs just eradicate whatever, like a thirteen

179
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.000
point deficit and they go in halftime
tied, and then it kind of happened

180
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.399
again at the end of the third
quarter, you know, when Golden State

181
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.879
goes on another run, and I
kind of was when the MAVs backups.

182
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:30.320
Yeah, your Powell and Kleebo were
in But dude, I have this is

183
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.440
an acceptable loss. I saw call
of that, Like, what do we

184
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.080
think? I don't think anyone thought
they were just going to run the table

185
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.120
and then steamrolling in the playoffs,
and you know what, they're still steamrolling.

186
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:45.919
They're still playing great. There's not
much shame losing to a fairly desperate

187
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.080
Golden State team on the road by
four points and being absolutely in it for

188
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.679
pretty much the whole game. So
all good. And it was a tough

189
00:13:54.200 --> 00:14:00.759
travel schedule like up there for a
week, back down to Huges for one

190
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.840
game, back up to Golden State, and this is to make up for

191
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.080
a lot for the UH there's a
game where their assistant coach had died.

192
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.200
So they've been back home against Golden
State on Thursday and then Atlanta on Friday,

193
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.320
the other way around. Oh sorry, Atlanta Thursday, Golden State Friday.

194
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.000
And those would be fun because last
time we played Atlanta because I could

195
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.120
go, I'm going to one of
those two games. And I kind of

196
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.360
wanted to go to Atlanta because I'm
like, Luca's gonna score fifty. Yeah,

197
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:31.000
because Atlanta just doesn't play defense.
And he's still Lucas needs the littlest

198
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.120
thing to inspire him. And I
guess when he sees Trey Young still he

199
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.519
did to Vladi Devauk the other night's
Sacramento, you should have picked me.

200
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.159
Doesn't Flotty not even work for the
team anymore. Yeah, but he was

201
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.960
at the game. But Lucas said, with his kid, some guy.

202
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.399
I think it was Sam Ammick.
Uh, the athletic is Like, I

203
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.840
could believe Vladi Devauk was there,
and Lucas said me, neither. I

204
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.679
didn't think you'd come so like I
don't know, like because he's had to

205
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.600
face that and get booed by the
crowd for drafting Marvin Bagley. But it's

206
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.200
like, that's Luca's nuts. I
like that it only takes a little bit.

207
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.360
It's very modern to where even if
you're the third pick, you have

208
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:13.519
the chip on your shoulder like they
passed on me. You mf you Yes,

209
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.799
But let me say this too.
We'll go back to Maxie real quick.

210
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.399
Dwight Powell is not going to play
if live he's there, that Maxie

211
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:26.519
will like Max is getting minutes no
matter what. No, yeah, clearly,

212
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:28.879
but Max's worthy of minutes. I'm
not d up, Like if you're

213
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:33.000
playing the Clippers, Okay, let's
put Maxie on Kawhi, you know,

214
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.200
like or Paul George and PJ.
Washington will probably have the other one,

215
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:43.440
like he hasked big assignments that he's
got to handle on defense. The only

216
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.399
thing that gives me help with Maxie
is that he's done it before. I

217
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.799
mentioned it every day this week or
whatever the last few times we talk MAVs.

218
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.840
He's proven that he could kind of
suck at the end of the regular

219
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.480
season and then turn it on in
the playoffs offensively, though you can see

220
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:04.759
the hesitation y in his game,
like he he passes now on pretty decent

221
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.159
looks that you think that he would
have taken, you know, in the

222
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:12.519
years past. But I don't they
need him to score. You know,

223
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:22.399
he was missing little five foot paint, little uncontested jumpies should flop right in

224
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:27.519
and he couldn't make anything last night
and they needed that. Forgive me for

225
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.919
not knowing this, but you guys
said Lively's going to be out for two

226
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.799
weeks. You kind of reset what
the hell happened. It's called right knee

227
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:40.360
soreness, but Jason Kidd called it
a spring Now Jason Kidd on our show

228
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.480
did say that he didn't break his
nose when he did, so, you

229
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.120
know, but yeah, two weeks
could be could be less based on how

230
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:53.720
he feels. Probably more precautionary right
now. And this happened against Houston.

231
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.480
This is the Houston game. Kind
of was it in the second half of

232
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.600
the game. Yeah, And it
was pretty quiet. Man. I don't

233
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.120
know if I'd it until I looked
up and said, why, you know,

234
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.200
why isn't he Where is Dwight Powell
in? Yeah, which is always

235
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:08.359
something you need to question. Poll
love him. He should be the human

236
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:12.759
victory cigar. He's the bobon on
this shroster. Though at this point we

237
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.680
need White Powell when they call his
name at the bench to do like a

238
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:21.400
double take and like what okay,
Yeah, now that's kind of what it's

239
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:26.200
been. That's what we need.
A shocked look on his face. Yeah,

240
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.200
not know which direction to go to
the scorer's table. Uh quick Rangers.

241
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:33.240
They lost five to last night.
Heaney, who you can blame for

242
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:37.400
the creed thing if you want.
It was actually kind of good, but

243
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:41.960
there was a bad error that happened. So they lose five to two.

244
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.720
They play at twelve twenty this afternoon, so get away day? Are they

245
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:51.920
off tomorrow? Off tomorrow it is? And then seventeen straight games, including

246
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:57.480
a four gamer with the Astros.
I believe that we will likely see the

247
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:04.559
MLB debut of twenty twenty first round
pick Justin Foscue today. Who can hit?

248
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.319
He is so slow and if he's
gonna play third base, he might

249
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:15.480
throw the ball not accurately to the
first baseman, but he can't hit.

250
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.359
He was the fourteenth pick in the
twenty twenty draft. And he came as

251
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.920
a shortstop but played second base.
They worked him at third base last year

252
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:30.799
and first base in spring training because
he's really long term. He's trade bait

253
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.839
long term. He is what can
we trade in a package for pitching at

254
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:40.680
the deadline. But dude, they're
gonna need a little help to get get

255
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:44.000
over the hump here with Josh Young
out, so because that could slow the

256
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.519
offense down just a little bit.
Evan Carter still hasn't I don't know.

257
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.079
Did Devin Hark Carter have a hit
last night? I don't think he did.

258
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:53.079
Evan Carter still doesn't have a hit
this year, but his on base

259
00:18:53.119 --> 00:19:00.720
percentage is like great. I think
he had like a three eighty five on

260
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.720
base pres he gets on base a
ton and he doesn't have any hits.

261
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:10.240
Yeah, another hitless night. So
for six, eight eleven for fifteen to

262
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:15.440
start the year, how many walks? Walks for six that's pretty good.

263
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:21.559
Yeah, that's really good. Five
runs scored, no hits, He's pretty

264
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.440
good. I want to circle back
real quick while we have a minute to

265
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:29.480
talk about Luca. I think that
uh, one thing I've noticed about him,

266
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.000
and this probably dates back to I
don't know, maybe a couple of

267
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.839
weeks. And like we always say, winning just breeds a really happy,

268
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:41.079
fun culture. You know what,
He's not doing that much anymore. Arguing

269
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:48.400
Really, I'm still saying it to
the point of where it is making him

270
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.319
not get back down the court in
a timely manner, arguing to the point

271
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.279
where it's leading to technicals. I
see, I see him jawing with referees

272
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.720
a little bit here and there,
But it's not as bad as as it

273
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:04.799
has been. He hasn't done it
enough to draw the attention of the announcers

274
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:10.799
when when they're playing national games like
that used to be a topic of conversation

275
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.640
anytime that they would play a national
game, that would always come up.

276
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.880
I haven't heard that come up in
a while. And I do think that

277
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:23.119
last night, even though they lost
the game, I think last night secured

278
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:29.279
that he will be the MVP of
the league. I really do secured it.

279
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:34.079
Yes, with that triple double,
with that point output, the way

280
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:41.519
he played when he didn't have a
lot else around him last night. I

281
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.200
mean, him and Kai were just
responsible for, you know, seventy five

282
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.200
percent of their scoring. But I
do I think that he will be the

283
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.400
league MVP, I think you will
be too. I don't think they want

284
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:55.200
to give it to Jokic again,
but he's at fifteen tags too, so

285
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:59.599
he kind of can't get one right, miss a game. Yeah, whatever

286
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:04.119
the reason, I like it,
I just Vegas always knows. And Jokich

287
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:10.319
is minus seven hundred. Yeah,
that's like that's a pretty big odds boxing

288
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:15.400
match between a pro and Danny Bayliss, Like minus seven hundred is a very

289
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:21.000
big favorite, and DONTI just plus
five hundred? And I with you,

290
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.559
guys, and I think he I
think that there's so much evidence that he

291
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.480
should, especially when you factor in
just how much he handles the ball compared

292
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.799
to yeah, compared to Jokic,
and he's coming off to another Player of

293
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.640
the Month award. I think he
might. And frankly, I like that

294
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:40.279
bet at plus five hundred a lot
five to one. But I don't know

295
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:41.799
why those numbers are holding so much. But the truth is, we don't

296
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:48.319
stare at Jokic, I know,
and we stare at Luca's true and that

297
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.039
everything about that dude looks like in
screams MVP, and I hope y'all are
