know if that was actually ben Stein's
money. Probably was on some level.

4
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.039
I think I read a story about
it, like a chunk of what he

5
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:25.960
was being paid for that episode would
actually be diverted to winners. But you're

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.280
gonna win money directly from me,
Danny and Kevin, or you have a

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.719
chance to at least at eight o'clock, you're gonna play a little game.

8
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:38.000
You're gonna spin a wheel and money's

Let's start mabvies. No, y'are know

38
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.599
what? Yeah, I'll start mabviies. What was that noise? Yeah?

39
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.120
No, I was just saying no
news on the Cowboy front. They did

40
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.960
finish their interview with Dan Quinn.
They finished their interview with Ron Rivera.

41
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:08.879
Uh. They I'm sorry with Mike
Zimmer and Ron Rivera and Dirday, who's

42
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.759
in house. They interviewed him for
the defensive coordinator job. They have to

43
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:22.560
hire one more minority candidate in order
to acquiesce the Rooney rule in interview.

44
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.919
Yes for coordinators African American, it's
got to be two now for coordinators.

45
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:30.919
If you remember, famously, for
the head coaching job, when they hired

46
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:37.479
Mike McCarthy, they gave a call
to Marvin Lewis first. Yeah, because

47
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:40.439
it lasted about as long as your
called in to that casino. Last segment.

48
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.360
Yeah, to the call to Sam's
town. Oh you're live on the

49
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.719
radio. Is that okay? Nope? All right, I have a great

50
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.800
day, is it? Uh?
Am? I wrong to think that Marvin

51
00:03:53.879 --> 00:04:00.479
Lewis should just like stop doing that
and bailing teams out. Seriously, I

52
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.960
would just like get an unlisted number, change my number. So when when

53
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:10.759
it comes to hiring season, he's
not just getting blown up, right unless

54
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.280
he really thinks they're trying to hire
him. I reckon, we need to

55
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.079
call Marvin. He's the Raiders assistant
head coach. They just call him.

56
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:21.360
This is your offensive coordinator call,
then this is your defensive coordinator call,

57
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.959
and then head coach. There's three
consecutive calls. Knock them all out.

58
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.560
See, we did it, we
did it. We passed the rule.

59
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:35.920
We're progressive. MAVs win last night
one nineteen one oh seven and looked damn

60
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:43.680
good. Yeah that was fun.
It's weird that well, like Luca can

61
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.480
hang thirty five eighteen and nine and
we're probably gonna talk Kyrie today. Yeah,

62
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.759
you know, thirty five eighteen and
nine eighteen rebounds. Yeah, it

63
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:57.240
was stupid. I saw that.
I mean, he's they mentioned it.

64
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.279
Do you watch the national broadcast?
I watched TNT. Okay, yeah,

65
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.360
so did I, which we were
uh our Jason kid thing was featured in

66
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.639
the beginning ninety seven won the Freaks. Yeah they pluralized us. That's fine,

67
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.519
but they got the downbeat and quotations. It's just kind of cool.

68
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.360
In the graphic. I wanted shock
to read that. Yeah, awesome,

69
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.720
But anyway, that was featured the
beating. I watched the TNT coverage and

70
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:25.680
one of the things they they mentioned
as Luca is just ripping rebounds and is

71
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.000
he's top ten in the NBA and
defensive rebounds. He's number nine right now,

72
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.959
and I don't know, like we
always he's a point guard. Yeah,

73
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:38.079
he's a freaking point guard. Yeah. And the guys in front of

74
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.240
him, Listen, you have Sabonis, you have Anthony Davis, Nicola Jokic,

75
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.399
Rudy Gobert, Jannis Joel Embiid,
bam Adebayou, like they're all the

76
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.279
giants of the league. And that
absolutely nowhere at number nine is little Luka

77
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:58.000
Doncic, and then after him is
when Banyama, you know, MVP type

78
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.879
stuff. Man, It's just but
and also you want to bitch about Luca's

79
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.199
defense, which why the hell,
do we pick things in bitch about him?

80
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.959
About Luca? I don't think we
do necessarily, but some people do.

81
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:13.439
You highlight negatives, and you know, defense sometimes he gets blown by

82
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.720
I get it, But should we
probably throw defensive rebounds? Being ninth in

83
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:21.959
the NBA in the overall pile of
Luca's defensive performance, I don't know if

84
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.839
that's normally done and when you judge
what a defender he is, but he's

85
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:31.079
ripping rebounds, That's part of it. I think a lot of his rebound

86
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.800
success stems from he makes up for
what he lacks in height. It was

87
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.680
kind of like that that Dennis Rodman
knows for the ball, where he just

88
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.000
knows when the shot goes up.
It's like he's so skilled at trajectory and

89
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:51.079
placement that when the shot goes up, he probably knows where that it's going

90
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.800
to miss, how it's going to
miss, and where it's going to end

91
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:59.920
up. And you combine that with
the fact that the guy is sneakily huge,

92
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.279
yeah, and that big old booty
of his can just get positioned and

93
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:09.040
block you out. He's he doesn't
have to go for rebounds. He's always

94
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.240
in position where they just land in
his hands. Yeah. I saw that

95
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:18.040
happen one three trips down the court
last night where Brooklyn had misshots, and

96
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:24.279
all three times the rebound just fell
right in his hands because he was in

97
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.199
the perfect place to get it.
Yeah, instincts. Yeah, incredible,

98
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.279
And that could apply to steels too. I mean, had a couple of

99
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.560
steels last night where he can,
you know, anticipate where the ball is

100
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.040
headed. And I don't know,
he's I don't think you can just blanket

101
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:41.519
him a bad defender, No,
I don't. And he can crank it

102
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.319
up pretty good, you know,
and be an average or maybe even a

103
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.199
good defender. But I mean he's
eighth in the league in steels too,

104
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:54.519
that's true. Yeah, he made
a couple of great defensive plays last night

105
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.360
that was just like, yeah,
okay, that was a great play.

106
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.959
And he appeared to be tired at
the time. I do agree he's not

107
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.839
done, probably a little too much. What's caveat here. Brooklyn's pretty terrible.

108
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.040
So they're decimated last night too.
For this team to win, and

109
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.680
win fairly big and to kind of
just handle it and stave off a couple

110
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:18.240
of runs at the end, yeah, I mean, yeah, they run

111
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.759
by twenty three, and then it
seemed like once they got to that point,

112
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:26.560
the rest of the game was,
let's exchange twelve runs for the next

113
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.839
three quarters. You see a little
healthier Kyrie back finally, like just let

114
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.720
it all happen for a minute.
There are a couple like plays that happened

115
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.080
last night. And I think stan
Van Gundy's who I was listening to when

116
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.000
he said this on the TNT call, was like, look, he goes.

117
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.120
The Mavericks have to start playing better
when Luca is doubled, and he's

118
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.039
got to trust and make the right
basketball play. And I think he's been

119
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.279
doing that, and I think the
guys just haven't been coming through. But

120
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.080
now Jayden Hardy's starting to shoot the
ball a little bit better and set the

121
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.639
world on fire for two from three
knocked him both down and he was good.

122
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:07.519
On Monday night, Tim Hardaway was
okay, like Josh Green again,

123
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.240
just kind of there. Maxie able
to make them three like okay. So

124
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.120
now we're starting to get the nucleus
back together here. If you remember the

125
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.799
year went to the Western Conference finals, Maxi was pretty terrible, and then

126
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:24.320
we got to the playoffs and he
destroyed Utah at Round one because he was

127
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.200
open and they were leaving him open. And that's what this all comes down

128
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.279
to, guys knocking down shots when
they're left open. That's why we lost

129
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.240
to the Clippers that year too.
It was like, well, they're guys

130
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.360
like Luke Kenard were making threes and
things like that. So like, Luca

131
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.759
and Kyrie are gonna make the smart
basketball play and on nights like last night,

132
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.120
when they both give you plus thirty, I don't need twenty from Josh

133
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.080
Green like I needed on Monday night. I don't need twenty from someone else

134
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.639
cause you can kind of and four
out of five games I've at Luca and

135
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.519
Kyrie are going to carry the offense
far enough to get what you need.

136
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:00.279
You kind of had a feeling that
that's how last night was going to go.

137
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.799
Though, when Kyrie comes out and
just without question sets the tone for

138
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.519
what his night was going to be
for the rest of the night, and

139
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.000
you know he had a little bit
of something to prove. I'm thinking playing

140
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.039
in that that arena, Yeah,
against the team I guess a year to

141
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.679
the date that he was traded.
Yeah. I listened to the Ben and

142
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.639
Skin Show as I do every day
and Skin basically twice they're not bad in

143
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.840
their hoop segments said, uh,
he's going for forty and I'm like,

144
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.720
you know what, He's absolutely right. And I went on prize Picks and

145
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.000
his over under was twenty five and
a half points and I'm like, dude,

146
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.279
Skin's absolutely right and he damn near
had it in the first half over

147
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.799
Yeah, bumming up with what thirty
six? Yeah, thirty six, Luke

148
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.960
had thirty five. I mean,
just pick your poison with those two are

149
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:54.000
healthy, Pick your poison. I
would hate to be the opposing team if

150
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.879
I was a perimeter defender knowing that
I've got to make a not only you

151
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.080
got to give max effort, You've
got to play them a lot tighter than

152
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:07.279
maybe you would another another player running
point. And it's and you've got to

153
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.720
be smart too, but it is
pick your poison. Okay, So am

154
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.919
I gonna double Luca? Well,
that frees up Kyrie. Both of them

155
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.240
are three level. They can score
from all three levels. You know,

156
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:24.720
each both of those guys can can
effectively finish consistently at the rim. They're

157
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.519
both good mid range, mid range
shooters. And we saw Luca last night.

158
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.480
What do you call it a shot
from Logo Land? I hadn't heard

159
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.200
that one before. That was good. That yeah, Logo Land, Logo

160
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:39.240
Land, that's pretty good. Yeah. Boy, they both just were at

161
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:45.279
threes last night. Yeah, seventy
one points and moralizing threes, Mikey,

162
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.480
I know that. Yeah was it? When was it into this third quarter?

163
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.200
I don't know. Whenever they went
on some crazy run and god,

164
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.720
they're just couldn't miss. But almost
more importantly, when I got a little

165
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.480
sense of last night, was that
those two falling in love. Yeah,

166
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.320
they super period to be getting along. Great, dude, Kyrie hit one.

167
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.240
Dude, are you talking about the
lu well that? Yes, the

168
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.320
alley was amazing. That was the
play of the night. Yes, I

169
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.679
didn't. I know. He's an
athletic man, Oh he can yet if

170
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.360
he needs too. But you don't
see that all about it. I did

171
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.799
the double take. Oh my,
oh my god, crap. But Luca's

172
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.879
joy of a couple of those threes
that Kyrie hit where Luca's kind of dancing

173
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.799
and doing the arms up and then
they hug and laugh. I'm like,

174
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:37.720
yes, more more love. Well, that's that could go a long way.

175
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.879
You don't see it because we just
haven't seen enough because he's missed a

176
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.799
lot of time. But Kyrie's missed
what a good chunk of these games now,

177
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:50.519
And there's part of me that's going
someone's gonna be fresh down the stretch

178
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.679
here. Now, thirty games up
the regular season, then you you hope

179
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:56.240
you play twenty games in the playoffs, right, So, like, does

180
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.000
he have fifty games left in the
tank? You know, I don't know.

181
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.799
Oh, but this team can That
sounds stupid, right, sounds crazy?

182
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.679
Can you? Oh? It just
beat the nets by twelve, but

183
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.480
this team went all together and then
get Lively back to help the defense a

184
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.600
little bit. They can get hot
and they can go on a run.

185
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:18.320
And what does this on a run
mean? I don't know, man,

186
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.240
I'm sure conference finals they're gonna win
it all. I don't know. It's

187
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.080
like, it's all you can make
a trade for Kyrie to put him with

188
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:30.679
Luca for this reason. We've seen
it enough now. We didn't have time

189
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.240
to see it last year and then
it was tank time. Yeah, Actually,

190
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.559
to get Lively, you've seen enough
this year. I think of them

191
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.840
together when it works to go this. When we were talking about this at

192
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.320
the beginning of November like this can
work. I think it can too.

193
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:52.639
The thing that is a little concerning
is that I don't feel the MAVs can

194
00:13:52.720 --> 00:14:00.000
be competitive in the playoffs for an
extended run unless they are one hundred percent

195
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.600
and healthy. They've got to have
Lively, they've got to have Exum and

196
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.639
and everybody else that's been coming back. You know, a Maxi you mentioned

197
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:13.639
Josh Green has man elevated his play. I think obviously Kyrie. But it's

198
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.080
like it's like, even if you
lose one of those dudes, you're you're

199
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.960
just house of cards. Yeah.
Yeah, it really feels that way.

200
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:28.519
And I just don't think that they're
they're that next man up mentality really applies

201
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.720
to this particular Maverick team. You
do need them all. I think two

202
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:39.360
things. I think it's we always
say, hit threes, you're a good

203
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.679
team. Miss threes, you lose, and you're a bad team, no

204
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.000
doubt. I mean, it's kind
of it. And then you talk about

205
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.440
all this other stuff after the game
and you look back, O, they

206
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.080
hit their threes, and that's just
kind of the way they design They've welcome

207
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.159
to the NBA. Maybe it's every
team. I just don't watch the other

208
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.799
games, Like I do this team, I mean, and they were forty

209
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.559
four percent last night hit threes.
We win. We're a good team.

210
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.600
Miss threes, Oh no, this
seems a mess. We can't beat anyone.

211
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.080
I think the difference in how you
feel about Josh Green. If Josh

212
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:11.279
Green can hit open threes, you're
like, Okay, I don't trade you

213
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.120
because the little things you do.
But then like, if he's not making

214
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.360
threes, he drives you insane,
you know, because he's just like,

215
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:22.559
you know, dribbling the ball off
his kneecap and things like that. Yeah.

216
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.639
Sham Sharnia from The Athletic reported the
MAVs are interested in Andrew Wiggins from

217
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:33.159
Golden State. Mark Stein tapped the
brakes on that yesterday, saying no conversations

218
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.120
have happened there, or at least
not yet. So the MAVs targets that

219
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.600
they've been in on that would be
a power forward type. PJ. Washington

220
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.799
from Charlotte, who's a good player. Kyle Kuzma, who's a good player.

221
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.200
Two guys who could really help.
But you would have to give away

222
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.120
a young piece a Josh Green or
a Jaden Hardy, plus probably your first

223
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.000
round pick in twenty twenty seven,
and I don't know if the MAVs want

224
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.720
to do that. I think they
probably want to keep that pick just in

225
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.840
case. I know, I it's
there only one left. You know that

226
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:06.399
they can trade for a while because
they've traded so many first for you know,

227
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:11.200
the Poring porsicois deal, in the
Kyrie deal. But you know something

228
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.200
by two pien tomorrow they will do
something they always do. It's the MAVs

229
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.320
way. They're not going to just
sit there, and it may be something

230
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.919
really small, but I don't see
them sitting still. Oh, I think

231
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.519
they'll do something. But again,
it's funny listening to Skin yesterday and Ben

232
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.360
even Saturday's like, you know,
just listen closely to the skin, he

233
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.559
said. I don't. I don't
expect anything that's gonna move the front of

234
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:41.080
your pants in the next day,
which I don't ever expect movement in the

235
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.320
front of our pants. Make Anny, Oh, sweet Danny, me neither,

236
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.519
Danny. Yeah, I expect it. I'm just summon it somehow,

237
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:55.559
like a snake charmer or a nice
and a flute. A flute lift open

238
00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.360
the laptop to pirates. Yeah,
that could work, I guess of a

239
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.319
wicker basket, you lift the top
of the laptop, start playing your flute.

240
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:11.880
Oh, wait for the baby cobra. Oh one more transition here,

241
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.359
go ahead, want something too?
It's more on like the Luca Kyrie falling

242
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:21.680
in love thing, which I don't
know if we're quite there yet, but

243
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.160
at a moment last night. And
it's stupid because it's been a year and

244
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:29.720
Kyrie's had tons of incredible games,
but maybe it takes a year if you're

245
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:30.920
as good as Luca is. But
I feel like there was a moment last

246
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.799
night where Luca almost did a double
take, looked at Kyrie and said,

247
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.880
wait, he's magic too. Yeah, he's also made a magic like I

248
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.799
am. You know, because Luca, when he lays his head down,

249
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.440
I'm sure you know, is a
probably a great teammate. I mean,

250
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.519
he feeds the hell out everybody,
but he knows he's the best player and

251
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.440
all this stuff. But I almost
feel like there was a moment last night

252
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.839
where and maybe Luca's realizing it,
like wait, not to say he's as

253
00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:00.240
good as I am, but I
think he's also a magician. He's also

254
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.319
we have another wizard. He knows
magic, right, He knows that the

255
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:08.039
arts the dark arts that I know
Luca's simple, beautiful reaction to the Kyrie

256
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:14.480
llyu where he just cup the ball
between his hand and his forearm and jammed

257
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:19.559
it big ups Lucas. Luca's reaction
was priced right. That's disbelief, that's

258
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:23.599
quick, and it's that's a genuine
reaction. Wow. There's also a play

259
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:30.640
where Kyrie took it to the rack
and just got annihilated and stood up and

260
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.680
almost did like a uh to the
ref It was like the anti Luca reaction

261
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:41.640
to getting absolutely slammed. And I
almost think Kyrie is so cerebral that he

262
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.839
wants to lead by example and without
telling Luca, dude, chill, stop

263
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.599
bitching at the refs. He's just
going to keep doing what Kyrie does and

264
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.440
trust that Luca's gonna notice. And
there was that was the play where I

265
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.799
think Luca would have lost his mind
because Kyrie did get found and they should

266
00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:59.799
have got it, you know,
a call. And I just think he's

267
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.839
quietly and slowly leading by example.
When you do that quietly and slowly,

268
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.200
it takes a while for people to
realize it and get on board. I

269
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.079
just think Kyrie might be doing a
lot of things like that that he's leaving

270
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.839
Luca no choice but to notice in
a longer spectrum of time, which maybe

271
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.799
he's starting. He's noticing. Now
that's a really good observation. It's kind

272
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:23.480
of like, uh, Luca's with
Kyrie on the floor and you know,

273
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:29.160
involved in playing and them and tandem
together. It's almost like this kind of

274
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:32.799
like a thing where lucas on maybe
a little bit better. Maybe not his

275
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:37.279
best behavior, but better behavior.
Kind of like when you act differently when

276
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.720
maybe somebody else is in the room
when the coolest guy in school, Yeah

277
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:44.480
he's hanging around. Yeah, it
gonna be a little more measured. You're

278
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.599
one real quick thing that they brought
this up last night, going back to

279
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:52.480
Kyrie and the Brooklyn experiment, I
do not realize that that whole time where

280
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:57.880
they tried to make that thing work
with Kad and Harden and Kyrie, that

281
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:04.160
they only played nineteen games together.
It was a ridiculous. Nineteen just weren't

282
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:08.240
healthy because Katie was coming back from
the knee thing or the achilles, and

283
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.640
then Kyrie missed a ton of time. It was a weird time, man.

284
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.079
But Brooklyn's gonna boo him when he
gets introduced. That that makes a

285
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.839
lot of sense. His Monday night
tweet after the game was I gotta stay

286
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.119
poised. His tweet after last night's
game, thank you for everything, God,

287
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.039
I gotta stay poised to the chaos
and hate the next generation is watching.

288
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:33.079
He's talking about staying poised. Those
are Kyrie's tweets las Monday and Tuesday's

289
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.079
game. But stay poisoned. I'm
just sitting there, everybody, what's the

290
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:38.160
one thing we've been begging Luca to
do? Stay poised through these times,

291
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:45.039
like just don't lose it first quarter. He knows I'm sending a little,

292
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.519
uh, you know, little message
maybe or maybe he's always been sacked tweeting

293
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.079
I gotta stay poised. I haven't
been checking this post game tweets lately because

294
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:56.440
he hadn't played much, So you
know, real quick, this is thirty

295
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:03.319
seconds. Clayton Kershaw was debating between
Rangers and Dodgers, and he chose the

296
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.599
Dodgers last night, no surprise,
so he will sign with them. He

297
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:08.880
can't pitch on the second half of
the season. I didn't have a ton

298
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:12.640
of interest anyways. And then he's
got a player option for twenty twenty five

299
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:17.400
for him and Otani, could you
know, hypothetically be in the same rotation

300
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.000
in twenty twenty five if he's even
a starter anymore at this point, Like,

301
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:23.200
I don't even know what to think
about Kershaw, so I didn't have

302
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:26.759
a ton of interest in that anymore, although it would have been cool if

303
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.680
happened. He's a good dude,
So good luck with the Dodgers, buddy.

304
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:36.000
Everybody loving the old school aba look
from Spencer Dinwiddie. Yeah he looks

305
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:40.079
so badass. Yeah he's kind of
fun man, he is, all right,

306
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:44.799
there's that come out next. Got
some big concerts that were announced yesterday

307
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.480
in DFW, plus the month of
January, TV news bloopers, so much

308
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:51.319
fun Next on ninety seven won the
