1
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:21.519
Where are we at in society today? Come after me. I'm a man,

2
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.679
I'm forty. Go ahead, make
my day every single week. I

3
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.280
put my freaking heart and soul into
this. I don't go out there and

4
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:32.439
laugh. It's not funny. Nothing's
funny to me. I don't want to

5
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:36.159
go out there and get embarrassed on
Monday night football fund everybody. I think

6
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.119
that at the beginning of a beautiful
friendship. So I ain't nothing changed from

7
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.600
yesterday. Still the same person I
was yesterday, and I got the same

8
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:49.280
thing for you that I had yesterday. You know why I'm here. You

9
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:56.320
play to win the game. You
don't play to just play it. That's

10
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.520
a great thing about sports. Get
played a win, and I don't care

11
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.640
if you don't have any wins.
You'll go play to win. You start

12
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:10.439
telling me it doesn't matter. There
were time, get out for the matters,

13
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:21.719
right, all right? Good morning, everybody, Good morning Michigan.

14
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.480
Dennis fit the in with you here
on x'es and bros. In for Matt

15
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.480
Shepherd on the Michigan Sports Network and
listening to my voice for the first time,

16
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.879
say what's going on? Don't panic? Chef's just taking the day off.

17
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:41.200
And I filled in with him for
him a few times. I can

18
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:46.000
now say this summer, because it
is officially summer and we're ready to go

19
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:52.959
and lift off this weekend. Lot
of sneaky things going on in sports that

20
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.879
you can find yourself interested in,
and guess what we're going to talk about

21
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:04.359
all of them. But the big
thing that is looming over sports on this

22
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:15.400
Monday is the Game seven tonight between
the Oilers and the Panthers in the Stanley

23
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.879
Cup Final. Now you just say
game seven and it gets oh, you

24
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.120
know, people are getting interested when
you hear that. And then you get

25
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:29.080
it into the finals, and you
get into the Stanley Cup Finals, and

26
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:36.280
then you add in the history of
what is at stake here with the Edmonton

27
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:43.000
Oilers who were done and buried in
down three in good Night and they were

28
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:47.439
already couldn't blame them, getting ready
to engrave the Stanley Cup, getting all

29
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:52.159
the names out for the Panthers and
everything else. But as you probably know

30
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:58.719
by now, this thing is completely
flipped and Edmonton is I say, not

31
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:00.800
just come back, that's the story. They've come back, but they've just

32
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:12.039
pounced and obliterated the Panthers on the
way to set up this showdown tonight down

33
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.039
in South Florida. But it just
makes you think of all kinds of different

34
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.120
things when it comes to sports in
a Game seven, when it's like this,

35
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.599
a lot of history, and then
you start thinking about your own teams

36
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:29.360
when they've been in a spot like
this. And we'll get to all of

37
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.120
that. In fact, coming up
at seven oh one, I will be

38
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:43.319
recounting my own favorite Game seven.
I will go back and give you my

39
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.960
favorite Game seven moment, and I'll
be asking you that as well as the

40
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.439
question of the day. You're on
x'es and bros. Your favorite Game seven

41
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:59.560
or your favorite Game seven moment.
Of course, you can in this six

42
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:04.400
o'clock hour, jump right in across
Michigan and answer that question. And from

43
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:10.719
my experience of six or seven shows
now that the six o'clock hour is the

44
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.199
very best hour to get in.
So if you've ever wondered, like heck,

45
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.279
man, I want I want to
talk some Game seven. I'll talk

46
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:21.279
some hockey. I want I talk
of Game seven in baseball or basketball,

47
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:27.959
well you know this is it.
The text is also available for you.

48
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.000
Let me get the numbers out there
for you eight six, six, eight,

49
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:36.920
three eight forty eight forty three.
That's the Meyer hotline eight sixty six

50
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:44.279
eight three eight forty eight forty three, and you can text in by texting

51
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.160
sports Radio to twenty one thousand.
Sports radio is all one word, So

52
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.079
that's the way it's done. So
if you want to jump in on that,

53
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.000
that big question of today coming up
in less than an hour from right

54
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:59.560
now, I'll be answering that.
You know the rest of what's going on

55
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.800
in sports as we close down June. It always when you start July you

56
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:09.120
get the free agency. So it's
something to keep in mind. So hockey

57
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:14.759
is going to end tonight one way
or the other. I could get into

58
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:20.720
some overtime situation. Whoa Game seven
overtime could get into a situation like that,

59
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:27.000
But it will end at some point
tonight or this morning, and then

60
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.600
free agency cranks right back up a
week from today in the NHL. So

61
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.800
that'll perk yourself up if you're an
NHL fan, certainly a Red Wings fan

62
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:44.160
thinking about a free agency. We
will talk with the color analyst from the

63
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.600
Detroit Red Wings coming up in just
about an hour from a right now.

64
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:54.720
Paul Woods is his name, longtime
color analyst for the Red Wings former captain

65
00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:00.199
of the Wing Wheelers. Also in
the NBA. The NBA has a big

66
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:06.319
week and the Pistons they are included
in the NBA, but they not if

67
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:12.639
they have I don't know if it's
the biggest week. But they have a

68
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.800
lot of new things happening, a
new GM, they're in search of a

69
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.120
new coach. They've got a top
five pick number five, so it's a

70
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:25.120
lot of things. That is a
big week for the Pistons. And with

71
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:30.079
the NBA the draft will be Wednesday
and then free agency on Sunday, so

72
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.439
that's big, you know, and
you've got a lot of cap room if

73
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:39.040
you're the Pistons, around sixty million
I say that, and you know you

74
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.319
can go on and get a big, big time player, maybe just one,

75
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.399
but you know, nobody's taken one
gigantic player is not taking sixty million

76
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:54.000
for the Pistons. The big ones
will be going somewhere else. So but

77
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.959
they've they've got some money there and
they're you know, obviously some players out

78
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.240
there. We'll see what they are
able to do when it comes down to

79
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.279
that. Some of the other thing
that you know, you're a little neat

80
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:10.279
I don't know if they're neat sports
or needs interest things that are talked about

81
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:16.920
dominating sports talk across Michigan. But
over the weekend you had you had golf

82
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:24.240
the Travelers and Scottie Scheffler won it
in a playoff, but you had six

83
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:34.199
protesters storming the green on the final
hole and it was pretty wild. I

84
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.839
wasn't watching that live, but if
you're just sitting back, I guess gott

85
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:42.759
to tip my hat to security.
I don't notice, you know, I

86
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.319
don't notice security at golf events.
But there were you know, like you

87
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.240
said, six protesters and all of
them I don't know, a smoke bombs

88
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:54.879
or whatever kind of colored powder whatever
they had. You know, they they

89
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.480
ripped up their messed up the green
a little bit and they had to come

90
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.519
right back on the playoff and they
had to move the hole, and you

91
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.000
know they were still they tried to, you know, do what they could

92
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:11.480
do with the green there. But
I'll just give it up to security that

93
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.079
was able to get those of you
know, six protesters. It was weird.

94
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.040
You know, come they're running through
the sand trafts. The next thing

95
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:20.720
you know, you got security running
out of the green. It was a

96
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.519
wild scene and uh, nobody got
hurt. And you know, when you

97
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:33.519
think about a tournament and then could
they have changed a hole or anything else

98
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.559
that went along with that, But
that was just a that you know,

99
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.600
we've seen protests just see people running
out the fields, but you know the

100
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.360
you know, drunk idiots a lot
of times. And yeah, we have

101
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.440
seen some protesters, but here were
a half dozen of them running out there,

102
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:54.320
and uh, it was pretty wild
scene. Meanwhile, well we have

103
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.960
a Game seven in the Stanley Cup
Finals. We've got a Game three.

104
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.120
It doesn't quite have the ring of
Game seven a game three, but there's

105
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.519
only three games in the College World
Series and we are going to a game

106
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.200
three with Tennessee and Texas A and
M. So that's some drama. That's

107
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:18.240
pretty cool there. And you did
have Clark and Reese yesterday playing. If

108
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.600
you keeping tabs on the WNBA,
these are the two that are gonna I

109
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:28.159
don't know further the interest of course
in the WNBA. And they squared off.

110
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.919
We'll get this. Some Tigers they
pound the White Sox and they're now

111
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.080
they bring in the Phillies. So
you've got the worst case situation, worst

112
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:41.200
team and now the best team coming
in the extremes for the Tigers, but

113
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.759
coming up straight ahead. Just how
big of a deal is this comeback that

114
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:54.000
the Oilers are on the precipice of
Will get to that straight ahead with your

130
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.519
maybe you're going out east. My
family and I used to go to

131
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.320
Cape cod on a summer to summer
basis love that place. You need beach

make it enjoyable. Meyer has it

134
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.039

there for you. That's why they're
the best in the business. The wheels

136
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.360
are turned in a little bit here
this morning on Ex's and rods. Then

137
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:05.039
it's fit then for Matt Shepherd is
we ask you and we dive into it,

138
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.679
just how big of a deal is
coming back from an three deficit,

139
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.879
which the oilers have done. And
I have this Game seven coming up tonight.

140
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:18.120
You can jump in on that.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on

141
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.600
it. It involves the question of
the day that I'll be answering coming up

142
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.240
at the seven oh one, your
favorite Game seven or your favorite Game seven

143
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.399
a moment, But we do have
this Game seven coming up here tonight,

144
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:37.159
and just how big of a deal
is it now if we're just being technical

145
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.200
and at the start we will be
technical that in the final. So it's

146
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.200
never been done in the NBA coming
back from three. It's only been done

147
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.919
once in baseball history, and that
was the Red Sox over the Yankees.

148
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.879
It has been done more than once
in the NHL, and in fact it

149
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:05.720
has been done. Were we at
four times, four comeback winners, But

150
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:13.360
it's only been done once. And
the Stanley Cup Finals back in nineteen forty

151
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:22.200
two, the Leafs came back and
beat the Red Wings. That's been over

152
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:28.000
eighty years. Now does it matter
if it's the Stanley Cup Finals or if

153
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.080
it's the playoffs? Yet matters?
I mean it's the biggest stage, so

154
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:37.159
that does matter. So if somebody's
saying, well why is everybody buzzing about

155
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:43.799
this the game, Well, it's
something that could happen tonight if Edmonton wins

156
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.000
four games. It hasn't been done
in eighty two years. That's why it's

157
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.320
a big deal that it was against
the Red Wings and Jack Adams and sid

158
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.960
Abel old bootnse for the Red Wings
that you know, it does have the

159
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:03.840
local flavor back in forty two.
But that's why it's a big deal.

160
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:16.080
There have been two hundred and ten
teams that have been down three in NHL

161
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:24.879
playoff history and we have four comeback
winners. The forty two Leafs, these

162
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:31.879
seventy five Islanders did it against the
Penguins, and then two more recent the

163
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:37.000
Flyers did it in twenty ten,
and then four year later the Kings did

164
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:43.480
it in twenty fourteen. That's it. Forty two Leafs, seventy five Islanders,

165
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:50.159
ten Leafs, fourteen Kings. That
is it. So that's why it's

166
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.879
a big deal. And it said
there have been zero in the NBA.

167
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.759
But last year the Celtics were down
three to the Heat and they forced the

168
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.480
game seven. Sing a game seven
is a big deal. You get where

169
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.399
this is momentum. And I thought
Boston was going to win last year and

170
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.799
they didn't. But it's it's so
it's never been done in the NBA and

171
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:20.080
just once in baseball, and because
it's it's the finals, this would be

172
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:35.039
the biggest in the biggest comeback in
in hockey history, really in in hockey,

173
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:43.360
baseball and basketball history, because it
is the finals. Biggest sense if

174
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.480
you say, well, what about
the leaves, this is bigger. You

175
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.600
know, it's a different game,
they have to play more series, whatever

176
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:54.360
else. However, you I would
say it's bigger now eighty two years later,

177
00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:00.320
with all due respect to the forty
two leaves. So that that's it.

178
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:10.519
Although if the Red Sox because of
the rivalry between the Yankees and the

179
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:12.559
Red Sox, and you may hate
the Yankees in the Red Sox rivalry,

180
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:19.519
it is it gets When it was
happening, it was really shoved down the

181
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:26.039
rest of America's throat to the to
almost a nauseating situation that you know,

182
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.000
you just couldn't every other game everybody
talking, but you know, if you're

183
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.480
able to take a step back from
that or hold your nose or whatever else,

184
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.960
you know, that was it had
never happened in baseball, and you

185
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.000
know, and there we were,
and then it did happen, and it

186
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:47.480
was pretty compelling, and that's it. You know, you you spend enough

187
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:52.759
time following sports and it was just
like over this weekend, Now the Tigers,

188
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.559
they took two of three from the
White Sox. Now the White Sox

189
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.759
are pitiful, They're the worst team
in baseball. So you know, you

190
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:06.599
know, feel like it's a disappointment
because it didn't sweep the worst team in

191
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:12.279
the majors. But if you follow
enough baseball, you know how difficult it

192
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:18.000
is. It's difficult to sweep a
team, even the worst team in baseball.

193
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.200
You follow it enough, you almost
hear that one hundred times during the

194
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:27.640
year. That's just tough to sweep
a team. And so you get to

195
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:36.440
the highest level in a Stanley Cup
final and you know this is a three

196
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:41.839
game sweep to get a three to
zero lead, that it's rare. And

197
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:45.440
I just know how I feel when
a team gets down three to zero.

198
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:51.359
I look at it and yeah,
it's over, because I do have history

199
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:56.000
in my mind, but I just
also feel the the it's a disappointment.

200
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:03.880
Also, these guys have to feel
the dejection where they just feel like they

201
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.720
have absolutely no hope. And I
know that they're like, we just got

202
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.279
to go out and win the first
shift in first period and then they go

203
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.079
from there. That's the kind of
way they talk. I guess a fan,

204
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:18.160
you could talk like that too,
but you can't help the you know,

205
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.680
like your your feelings about, well, this thing is just absolutely over.

206
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.279
But then to see them come back
and just roll, you know,

207
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.440
after Game four, it's like Man
eight one, you know whatever that was.

208
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:37.039
You know, the Mavericks they came
back and pounded the Celtics a bout

209
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.160
like forty or fifty points or whatever
it was to avoid the sweep. What

210
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:42.839
did Boston come back and do?
Then they dropped a hammer on them they

211
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.079
were at home. The Panthers did
not do that, as you know,

212
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.799
and then the Oilers forced this Game
seven, and now the momentum is so

213
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.519
much Edmonton. I would think that
the majority of the people out there,

214
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.440
you know, that's the tough part. You know what history says. I've

215
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:06.240
just talked about it for twenty minutes. Less than two percent of a chance.

216
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:07.799
If you're just talking about the Stanley
Cup finals, it's less than that.

217
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.839
So if you're looking at the data, it'd be interesting that you know,

218
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:17.480
you're driving around Michigan and you're like, am I a data person or

219
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:22.119
am I a momentum person? Am
I a left brain or am I a

220
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.759
right brain? Because if you're a
numbers person, a history person, and

221
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.519
you look at it like that,
you say, the Panthers are going to

222
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.519
win this game tonight. They're at
home, and no team in eighty years,

223
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.319
over eighty years, has many able
to do this. Meanwhile, if

224
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.640
you've watched this series, and you've
watched these last three games, the way

225
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:51.799
that Edmonton has played, they are
steamrolling the Panthers. Bbrowski, who's this

226
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.519
brick wall is now a sief and
so now in the defense, and they

227
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:03.400
give up the first goal is and
it is like they've got nothing. Their

228
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:08.119
heads are down talking about the Panthers. So you can, however you look

229
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:15.480
at it. That's the intriguing part
of this. The odds makers have they're

230
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.240
the ones that don't care about history
here. They don't care about them,

231
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:22.960
They don't caring about putting a line
out here. They have Florida. They

232
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:32.240
have Florida as the slight, slight
favorite. Now for me, when I

233
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:36.599
look at this thing here, uh
tonight, I can recall there's been two

234
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:40.759
game seven since the Red Wings lost
a Game seven in nine to the Penguins.

235
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:42.640
But I can remember, you know, being down there sifting through all

236
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:49.559
the numbers and what they said is
that home heites really doesn't matter in the

237
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:56.440
Stanley Cup playoffs until a Game seven, and it really matters in a game

238
00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:03.960
seven when you're at home in the
Stanley Cup finals. The numbers were amazing,

239
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:08.039
not just talking about being down oh
three, I'm talking about just game

240
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:11.640
sevens. And of course the Red
Wings lost that one, so all of

241
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:18.559
that went out the window. So
you know, the Panthers do have some

242
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.279
things to lean on home ice in
history there. They've got two things,

243
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.440
a lot of history on their side. I don't know if that makes you

244
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:27.680
feel any better. I don't know
how many p other fans are out there

245
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:33.759
all right. Coming up next big
week for the Pistons and the NBA,

269
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.720
Canadian and they say they're coming back
from up north, they just don't know.

270
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.160
I know. If you're Michigander,
you're like, oh sweet, you

271
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:45.119
know Traverse City, let's go,
or you know, mid Michigan. Some

272
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:49.359
of us feel like, you know, that's up north. Family has a

273
00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:56.200
cottage and clear we feel like that
is definitely up north. But our guess

274
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:59.599
that is coming up from. In
the seven o'clock hour, Paul Woods,

275
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.759
the color analyst for the Detroit Red
Wings, said, yeah, I'll be

276
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:07.200
driving back from up north tomorrow morning. And I should have said, you

277
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.839
know, like I don't know where
are you coming from? Uh? You

278
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:17.599
know the upper who knows where he's
coming from in Canada. All right,

279
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:22.079
though, we have been talking a
lot of hockey with the game seven coming

280
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:27.160
up tonight between the Panthers and Oilers
in Florida, and the question of the

281
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:34.039
day I'll be hitting on coming up
at seven o'clock. I'll just recap my

282
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:40.119
favorite game seven, and I'm asking
you your favorite Game seven or favorite Game

283
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:42.680
seven. Moment you can get to
that. I'm going to turn my attention

284
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:48.359
to the NBA here this segment,
but I present to you the opportunity of

285
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:55.319
open topics while I'm on That means, if you're really someone who wants to

286
00:24:55.319 --> 00:25:00.559
talk about baseball, could be the
Tigers, it could be the college baseball

287
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.880
because they have a Game three coming
up tonight. Well you could jump on

288
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:11.839
in and I can handle it.
I'll go from the NBA over to baseball,

289
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:18.079
to college baseball. If you're somebody
that watched golf yesterday or the WNBA

290
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:23.559
and you wanted to get into that, well that's why I say it's open

291
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:26.960
topics for you. I'm trying to
guide you along thinking what would be the

292
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:34.000
biggest stories. But is also why

00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:03.279
we read them over the air and
we handle it that way. So yeah,

299
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:07.640
a bunch of different ways to get
involved. You can also if you're

300
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:15.759
somebody who enjoys social media. I
don't know, as the weeks go by,

301
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.640
it seems like more people don't like
social media or like to complain about

302
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:26.240
social media. But whatever however you
feel about that, you could text x'es

303
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.440
and bros. At XB mornings.
I'm on Twitter at Dennis fifty and so

304
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:36.359
all of that is there for you. The NBA is fascinating in a lot

305
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:37.160
of ways. Now. If you're
a Celtics fan and you know, it's

306
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:42.359
been a great season, one other
championship, coronation parade, get ready,

307
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:48.920
it's all great. But the rest
of the NBA, you know, now

308
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:55.400
gets ready for a big week in
the draft coming up on Wednesday, and

309
00:26:55.440 --> 00:27:00.880
then free agency, which technically for
the NBA is Sunday. Oh, they

310
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:03.720
start talking, I would guess,
you know, I don't know how much

311
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:08.400
they want to, you know,
cross their wires from to Wednesday, but

312
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:15.000
after Wednesday in the draft, certainly
by Friday, and they're already have been

313
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:19.480
players that like I don't know Maleikue
Monk. He says he's staying with Sacramento.

314
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:25.920
Pascal Siakam, who's at the top
of the list of anybody who would

315
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.119
want one of the big time free
agents, you know, he says he's

316
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:33.319
gonna take the max deal at Indiana. So we've already seen some of that.

317
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.640
We'll see a lot more of that. Even though we're talking about Sunday

318
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:45.440
when it could officially happen, they
are already wheeling and dealing behind the scenes.

319
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:49.400
So it's just official coming up on
Sunday. So we'll hear a lot

320
00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:57.240
about pending free agents and where they're
going, and also the draft on Wednesday.

321
00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:00.440
But you add in that the Pistons
have a new GM. I mean,

322
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.400
they're the worst team in the league, but they you know, that's

323
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.480
why they have a new GM,
That's why they are going to have a

324
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.880
new coach and they've got a top
pick. Will they have a coach in

325
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:12.359
place by Wednesday? I would think
that they would want to do that.

326
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.680
I would think that Trajan Langdon would
want to bring in a coach that's going

327
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.519
to have a say and what they're
going to want to do in the draft

328
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.319
this week. And then of course
with free agency. That's why having it,

329
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:33.720
you know, not firing Monte Williams
until last week was a little curious

330
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.640
that they couldn't get that done before
because if we're just you know, talking

331
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:42.279
about the best way to do things, we can all agree that you do

332
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:45.519
want to get that coach in before
that. But hey, it is the

333
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:52.039
Pistons, and it doesn't mean that
this new era is getting off on the

334
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.079
wrong foot. But how much of
a benefit of the doubt that they really

335
00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:03.799
get considering how they've operated over the
past ten fifteen years. Not a whole

336
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:10.160
lot you do get. You know, you don't want to just completely throw

337
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:14.720
these guys overboard and say, oh
it's this is the same old Pistons under

338
00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:21.200
Tom Gorris or whatever else. But
that is there for them. Anyways,

339
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:30.880
as far as the coaches go,
I think the top guy that if I

340
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:34.079
could just pick and say, okay, this one, this seems like the

341
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:40.319
best case scenario. This seems like
the best guy. It's Trajan Langdon,

342
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:48.079
who was down in the New Orleans
organization. Their assistant head coach, James

343
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:59.920
Barrego won two titles with the Spurs, and then he has been the public

344
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:06.079
assistant head coach, and so you
work under Popovich, you're with you have

345
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:14.680
the connection with Langdon as a Pelican's
assistant, he seemed like he would be

346
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.160
one option. The t Wolves assistant
who's a former Piston's assistant is out there,

347
00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:25.799
Nori Uh. He's a as a
never of those doesn't matter. But

348
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:30.039
he's a funny guy, a lot
of quips, a lot of you know,

349
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.279
a lot of fun post games.
If he would be in there,

350
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.680
that doesn't matter for the team on
there, you might be a fan.

351
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.599
You like that where it's gonna be, He's gonna have some fun. Another

352
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:51.960
former Pistons assistant is a guy named
Sweeney who was along with Jason Kidd going

353
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:56.079
to the NBA Finals this year and
was also with Kid when he was with

354
00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:03.359
the Bucks. And then there's Jay
be Bickerstaff who's got some previous head coaching

355
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:07.160
experience. Those are the ones that
you would like to see one of those

356
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:15.000
guys tabbed before Wednesday and the draft. Now, the draft is not all

357
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.000
that interesting compared to where the draft
has been, but at this draft,

358
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:25.440
the NBA Draft has been going this
way for a couple of years. Back

359
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:32.839
in the day, the NBA Draft
was a gigantic night. It was as

360
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:37.240
much fun as the NFL Draft.
I know, you know, if you're

361
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:41.359
younger, you could say what are
you talking about? But it was like

362
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:47.839
that you had watched ninety percent if
not more, of these players that are

363
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:52.720
all going to get taken in the
draft, and you know you've you had

364
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:59.480
a good feel about him. Now
you don't have any of that percent of

365
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:04.039
the player you have not watched.
And then you add in that this year,

366
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.240
yeah, the Atlanta Hawks have the
number one pick, but this was

367
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:10.880
not the year that you wanted the
number one pick. You add tense.

368
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:15.640
This is like having the Hawks in
a regular year having the number ten pick.

369
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:22.920
Pistons at five, this is like
having the fifteenth pick. So it's

370
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:27.599
a light draft. Just how the
experts have looked at it and what they

371
00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:32.519
say about it. I'd buy that
now when I add the ten picks out

372
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:37.200
there, So the Pistons like have
the number fifteenth, number fifteen, even

373
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.480
though they have number five. It
immediately made me think of you know,

374
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:45.480
you can still we might not know, and we might not know for a

375
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:51.519
couple of years, but you know, two players pretty recently taken at number

376
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:57.000
fifteen in the NBA Draft, Kawhi
Leonard, who went on to win an

377
00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:05.440
NBA title with Toronto, and then
Giannis the Greek Freak, was taken at

378
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:07.920
fifteen by the Buck. So you
know, yeah, it's a light draft

379
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:12.480
on paper as we take a look
at it, but you can find guys

380
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:14.559
and yeah, I mean you can
go back and start talking about that,

381
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:15.920
Well, the Joker was taken to
the second round. That's all true.

382
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:21.680
I was just trying to give you
a little feel for it as you head

383
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:25.000
into Wednesday. But I looked a
lot at the draft yesterday and this is

384
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:30.680
what I think is the best case
scenario for the Pistons. I think this

385
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:39.319
draft revolves around the San Antonio Spurs. They won the lottery and they got

386
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:50.039
Wemby last year, and he's French
and it just so happens that three of

387
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:58.480
the top prospects in the NBA Draft
the French, and so San Antonio wanting

388
00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:07.839
to surround Wembin Yama with you know, they want to make him happy.

389
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:13.840
He he loves France, He's got
connections with these players. I'm thinking that

390
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:17.920
they want one, if not two
of these top frenchmen that are going to

391
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:22.760
be available in the draft. On
Wednesday. Now that's not a sure thing,

392
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:27.000
but it just so happens that the
Pistons is talked about, and you

393
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.960
probably know they're at number five.
Well, San Antonio has four and eight.

394
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:38.199
If one of those Frenchmen fall to
four, maybe the Spurs would want

395
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:49.760
to give the Pistons a future number
one to grab the other frenchmen. They

396
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.360
would. They might be a little
nervous that he might not be there at

397
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:58.599
eight. You might roll your eyes
and say that's too much to give up

398
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:04.280
for a couple of spots. But
when you add in lottery protection and you

399
00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:10.079
think about just how wembin Yama was
last year and how how important it would

400
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:14.639
be. I don't know how important
it really is to wembin Yama or the

401
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:19.360
Spurs organization, but it might be. It's just a thought of mine that

402
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:23.519
maybe the Pistons could pick up a
future one by moving from five to eight,

403
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:30.159
and the Spurs could go and they
they could potentially get two of these

404
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:37.480
top frenchmen, Zachary Orris Archer Hell, he could be number one, Alex

405
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:42.239
sar Uh he could be two.
And then who's the other one? Tid

406
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:47.760
John Salon? Who you know,
if you're looking you know, the odds,

407
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:52.719
the odds makers have a Archer and
sar the two Frenchmen you know,

408
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:55.519
going one two right now. But
could one of those guys fall the forb

409
00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:01.079
easily? Easily it could happen.
And then Salon who's looked at anywhere from

410
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:10.000
I don't know ten around around that
area. Well, you know, because

411
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:16.199
of the there's not a lot of
sure things as we take a look at

412
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:22.440
this, very easily I could see
it. That's that's my thought on the

413
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:29.119
on the Pistons, the possibility of
moving back and with the the spurs right

414
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:31.480
there now, if you do want
to take a look at it. I

415
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:39.840
also cranked out a bunch of different
mock drafts yesterday and taking a look at

416
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:46.679
it and from Yahoo to ESPN,
to the Ringer, to Bleacher Report to

417
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:55.320
the Athletic one, two, three, four, five different sources, four

418
00:36:55.360 --> 00:37:05.039
of them all have mocked drafted the
Pistons to get the Lithuanian nineteen year old

419
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:15.039
Bousellis Matthias Boucellis, Matthaeus Boussellus.
So that's who the people that cover the

420
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:23.280
Pistons or even league wide, that's
how they think it's going to fall.

421
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:30.119
So boozellis the Lithuanian. I believe
he just grew up in Chicago, though,

422
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:36.880
but I've watched two three minutes of
him playing for the G League Ignite

423
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:45.159
last year, and he's rail thin, he's nineteen. He's not like this

424
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:47.800
knockdown shoot or anything. But you
know, that's that's the kind of draft

425
00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:52.719
that we're in. That's where it's
at, and that's where the majority of

426
00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:57.360
the experts think that he is going
to fall to the Pistons. Now for

427
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:00.760
me, and since I don't,
you know, I watched two minutes of

428
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:08.639
Boussellus, I watched a lot more
of college basketball, so I would say,

429
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:13.559
you know, if there was if
Trajan Langdon he says, Hey,

430
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:15.719
you know, you hadn't watched any
of these French guys. You hadn't watched

431
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:17.159
the Lithuanian. You watch two minutes
of the guy from McKnight, but you've

432
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:22.480
watched a couple of games of college
basketball fifty and who do you pick?

433
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:28.159
I'd say, how about Reed Shepherd, the six' three knockdown shooter from

434
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:34.119
the Kentucky Wildcats. How about him? That would be He's the guy that

435
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:42.199
I am rooting for for the Pistons
to take now. Is there anything that's

436
00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:45.159
intriguing with the draft? Trying to
set it up for you here on Wednesday

437
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:51.280
after the Pistons and where they might
go. I think there's two names for

438
00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:54.679
me that I'll be watching. Will
I be sitting there all night watching the

439
00:38:55.119 --> 00:39:01.639
NBA Draft? Probably Zach Edy.
Ronto Raptors don't have a first round pick,

440
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:05.320
but Zach Edy, the big man, the two time player of the

441
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:16.079
Year in college basketball from Purdue.
He is Canadian. Toronto would do well

442
00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:22.519
by getting Eatie. If if I
was in Canada right now, I'd be

443
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:27.280
pounding the phone line. Let's get
Zach Edie. Let's move up. How

444
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:30.960
far they have to move up?
That's the question. Last year at this

445
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:34.400
time, if you talked about Zach
Edy being a first round pick, and

446
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:37.360
he laughed at you don't know.
You don't know basketball. He doesn't do

447
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:39.519
any of the stuff that they're looking
for in the NBA. He doesn't shoot

448
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:44.480
from outside, he's got stone feet, he can't move. But he's answered

449
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:52.039
that kind of criticism with how he
performed last year, moved a little bit

450
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:57.800
better, and then what he's been
able to do in these workouts. He's

451
00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:01.039
moved himself into the first round.
Take it from me. He'll go in

452
00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:05.440
the first round. I'm ninety nine
percent sure that that's going to happen.

453
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:09.599
So Toronto's going to have to move
up how far it's it's interesting and for

454
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:13.039
me Edie, do I think he's
going to take over the league? Would

455
00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:15.280
I take him in the lottery?
No? But do I think he could

456
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:22.239
be a ten minute impact player coming
in at seven four, swat and shot,

457
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:27.440
somebody that could command double teams,
somebody that could develop. It looks

458
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:30.599
like, you know, he's a
good free throw shooter. His jumper looks

459
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:34.920
pretty good, you know, and
sometimes when you're seven to four, you

460
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:39.119
don't have to, you know,
have a step back and you just have

461
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:44.800
to knock him down. And he's
got a pretty good looking stroke already.

462
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:47.800
I could see that that could be
more than the ten minute impact that I'm

463
00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:52.239
selling there. But he's going to
go, So that's something to keep an

464
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:55.519
eye on. Then the other one
is not something that I really latched onto

465
00:40:55.760 --> 00:41:00.320
at all in the spring, but
as we get closer to wedness, it

466
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:05.480
is something to keep an eye on. I guess they do a two day

467
00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:08.280
thing now for the first round.
And second round, and that's Lebron James's

468
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:15.199
son, Bronni. If another team
would take them to try to screw with

469
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:17.599
Lebron James, or if the Lakers
actually are like you know, you know,

470
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:22.960
JJ Reddick's coming in here and everything
else. But will Lebronni James,

471
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:29.239
not Lebronni I'm sorry, Bronni actually
go to the Lakers. And that's the

472
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:32.920
intrigue for the second round. But
that's the intrigue. That's where it's at,

473
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:38.159
and that's how in what I'm looking
at free agency. We'll get to

474
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:42.559
that a little bit later. I've
got some ideas in a move that I

475
00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:46.039
would like to see the Pistons make
when it comes down, I've got a

476
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:50.400
handful of players I think that they
could take a run at, and that's

477
00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:53.199
what I would like to see.
But coming up next, I ask you

478
00:41:53.280 --> 00:42:01.400
to think about it and then call
up your favorite Game seven or favorite Game

479
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:07.280
seven moment. We will get to
that straight ahead. Also coming up at

480
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:13.000
seven eighteen, we'll talk with a
Red Wings color analyst, Paul Woods here

481
00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:16.599
on Exis and Bros. And a
Michigan Sports Network. Hey Michigan, let's

482
00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:22.039

made for Michigan, must be twenty
winters old in Michigan playing. I've

488
00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:50.559
argued for a long time that Michigan
is the most crazed golf state in the

489
00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:54.360
country. Our window to play golf
isn't very wide, is it. So

490
00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:59.719
when you get that opportunity to have
that golf outing with your buddies like I

491
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:01.840
have, and I treasure it.
I mean, it's one of my favorite

492
00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:06.679
things to do. You want to
find a place that is going to treat

493
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:13.440
you right, be worth it,
and accommodate you in more ways than just

494
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:20.800
golf totally. More is that it's
the experience that you would have of a

495
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:25.599
golf outing lifetime. It is so
prestigious, it is so beautiful. It

496
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:30.440
gives you two championship courses totally more
and Saint Ives. It gives you a

497
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:36.599
place to stay where you can relax, unwind, enjoy the scenery. It's

498
00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:42.280
luxurious and it's all affordable. It's
as good as it gets just about an

499
00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:46.679
hour north of Grand Rapids, not
even that depending on who's driving. But

500
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:52.599
I mean it is a spectacular round
of golf and a chance to unwind afterwards.

501
00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:55.800
You've been to places right with your
friends where you've played golf and it's

502
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:59.519
been good, right, and then
afterwards you're looking around and go, what

503
00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:04.079
are we going to you now?
These accommodations aren't that great? We stayed

504
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:08.039
here for the golf. You get
both at Tullymore. Don't settle for anything

505
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:14.039
less. You don't get an opportunity
to do this very often, so when

506
00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:16.679
you do, go with the best. Go to Tullymore and you can go

507
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:21.880
to Tullymoregolf dot com to make your
reservations. Today, what's up, Michigan.
