1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.240
This is the downbeat on ninety seven
to one the Free. Yesterday we did

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:13.800
the story on the Panther City Barbecue
situation in Fort Worth where they're accusing another

3
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:21.679
restaurant of involvement and the theft of
one of their pit trailers smokers. This

4
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:27.679
is about thirty thousand dollars. And
then Ben and Skin had the owner of

5
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.920
Panther City Barbecue on the co owner
Chris talked to him on the phone for

6
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:42.280
a minute yesterday and DMed him on
its Chris magdalenis Magdalanis Magdalens Chris Panther City

7
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:48.159
Barbecue co owner. There's a big
story in WFAA that got posted last night

8
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:54.600
too. He's allegend the owner of
Daybreak Cafe appears where his property is being

9
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:59.079
used as a transit point for stolen
good So he's not saying that the day

10
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.759
Back, Daybreak Cafe and for Worth
is doing it, but is aware that

11
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.640
his property is being used to kind
of be a part of a place to

12
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:14.040
keep stolen goods. Chris said in
the WFA article, it's a disgusting feeling

13
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.079
to know that another neighboring business is
involved in a theft from us. I

14
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:23.079
want to see people go to jail. Daybreak's owner denies the accusation told WFAA

15
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.799
that he doesn't know who brought Panther
City's trailer to the vacant lot next to

16
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.879
his cafe, so there's a big
investigation on going there. This fight began

17
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.280
back on New Year's Day. Did
you say yesterday there was more than just

18
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:44.920
those smokers found there or something or
no. Yeah, So he said to

19
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.000
Chris at Panther City had learned someone
stole the eight thousand pounds trailer and then

20
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.239
he found it in that vacant lot
next to Daybreak Cafe because he had a

21
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.439
GPS tracker on it, and they
have surveillance video footage showing a person in

22
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:04.159
a white van tewing away the trailer. But Chris said in the wfa article

23
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:08.560
it's personal and someone's got to pay
for this. He spent weeks surveilling the

24
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:14.800
lot next to Daybreak Cafe keeping track
of the white van. He heard from

25
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:21.639
another restaurant, Grease Monkey Burgers in
Arlington had also reported a similar head reported

26
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.719
a food truck was stolen by a
similar white van. So a white van

27
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:32.000
parks at that restaurant or in the
vacant lot next to the restaurant. I

28
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:36.960
think the question is who owns that
land, probably and maybe they're trying to

29
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.759
figure that out in the investigation.
And who owns the white van. Probably

30
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:46.879
own the white van. Pretty easy
to find out that part. This is

31
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:52.360
the owner of Daybreak Cafe, Mario
Garcia. He said he talks to all

32
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.080
his customers, but he doesn't know
the man's name. He said he has

33
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.919
other business interests and will occasionally buy
a discount lumber and paint cans and sell

34
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.599
them at the flea market. He
insists he does not steal. If I

35
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.680
wanted to steal, I wouldn't be
here working four thirty in the morning until

36
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.560
six o'clock at night. Bye hey. Garcia said he has been in contact

37
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:16.159
with a lawyer and plans to bring
a lawsuit against Chris from Panther City.

38
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:27.280
Uh oh counter sue. But this
guy says that he does like to what

39
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:31.520
acquire paint cans and sell them at
the flea market and lumber so he likes,

40
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:37.680
but he buys that. He claims
he buys those. I don't know,

41
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:43.719
man, I don't know. Just
move on. God. Chris said

42
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.520
they didn't mess at the wrong barbecue
place. We're just not going to stand

43
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:54.000
by and take it fort Worth War. It's a barbecue battle Royale, damn

44
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:59.240
straight. And something similar to that
coming up at eight o'clock with barbecue blue

45
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:05.759
bonnets in the Bible, A small
town Texas adventure for the Pixies that historically

46
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:10.680
Texas banned the Pixies. You can
call in two and four eight when seven

47
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.960
seven eight seven one nine seven one
to go head to head with Mike's aroy.

48
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:16.519
I advise you not to call in
and go head to head with me

49
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:21.759
because you'll lose. Well, I
like the guy fighting man, because isn't

50
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.959
it you know more about this,
you said, because you knew something about

51
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.480
the price of smokers, at least
that they're expensive health. But isn't that

52
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.639
part of it is that when you
have a get smoker and you use it,

53
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.000
then it creates seasoned absolutely, And
I got this thing right where I

54
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.480
want. I can't just go buy
the identical smoker because it's not identical.

55
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:43.600
It won't it will never be identical. He's right, He's right. Like

56
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.240
I don't want a new iron skillet. I've got the same one I've had

57
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:51.040
for twenty years and it's I use
it all the time, and it's got

58
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:56.439
it's got flavors built into it.
I've just decided I'm going to break into

59
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.879
Danny's house and steal his iron skillet
and sell it at a flea market.

60
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.120
And I also need a white van. We can get you that. Just

61
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:09.079
to aggravate you. You're so mean
to me. What a mean thing to

62
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:14.279
do. It's still my skillet.
She mean to MEY say, oh yeah,

63
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:20.519
con Curtis, yeah, manhunt.
Eight people were killed, nine shot

64
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:29.480
in Joliet, Illinois. The other
day. The suspect Romeo Nance I was

65
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.079
found dead. Romo Nance, Romeo
Nance. He sounds like a cornerback for

66
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:41.040
the forty nine ers found dead twenty
three years old. Again, a people

67
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:49.759
killed, nine shot in Joliet,
Illinois. Found dead yesterday outside of a

68
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:56.360
gas station in Natalia, Texas,
Texas. And it was a self inflicted

69
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:05.480
gunshot to the herd. Natalia,
Texas is near San Antonio. So he

70
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:11.120
made it pretty far south. Was
he headed from Mexico? You think I

71
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.480
get to get from Juliet, Illinois? And what day did the Joliette thing

72
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.040
happen? That was a few days
ago, a couple of days three days

73
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.920
ago. Yeah, Yeah, he's
been Threemon's South. I would guess.

74
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:26.279
Yes, he's headed for the border, yeah, which I don't know if

75
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.839
that works or not. Four separate
shootings in Joliette. This kid was on

76
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.439
a spree, twenty three years old, went on a freaking spree and most

77
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.839
of the people that he killed were
family members of his. I'm glad he's

78
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.519
dead. Yes, he got to
San Antonio and that what is it,

79
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:46.480
Joliet little ten what's that? Oh? In San Antonio? Yeah, Natalia

80
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:53.839
County, Natalia County. He sounds
like the remember what law enforcement branch it

81
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.800
was. But they were approaching him, they were about to get him,

82
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.879
and he turned the gun on himself, killed himself. And boy, see

83
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:02.680
the picture of him. He looks
like a real nice, real sweet looking

84
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:08.000
twenty three year old young man.
And but his victims, I think the

85
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:12.959
youngest was fourteen, killed a fourteen
and a sixteen year old. Yeah,

86
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.160
I was driving a red Twota Camry. One policeman who said he says,

87
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.240
I've been a policeman twenty nine years. This is the worst crime scene I've

88
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:24.319
ever been associated with. Talking about
two of the homes related in some of

89
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.680
the shootings on Sunday. Also,
I thought this was a funny part of

90
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.240
it because I just think this is
a great name. I was looking for

91
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.639
the humor in this story. So
I'm glad that you're you're lighting this up.

92
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:39.279
That's how it's what I do.
Baby, we may never know the

93
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:47.600
truth or motives, says Chief Chief
Deputy of Criminal Investigations Dan Jungles. That's

94
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:53.600
a good one. It's just spelled
jungle. You don't know anyone named mister

95
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:58.639
Jungles. Like, seriously, his
cariff that is out standing, j U

96
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:03.199
n G l Ees, mister Jungles. That's the only good thing to come

97
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:09.639
out of the story. That is
Now we've been introduced to Deputy Jungles.

98
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.160
Well, what an idiot? Yeah, twenty three. Just don't do anything

99
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.680
till you're twenty five. Everyone,
yeah, stop, everyone just trusts me.

100
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.319
Whatever you're gonna do, it's a
bad idea. No one do anything.

101
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.800
Yeah, we might, we might
take a deeper dive into the the

102
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.200
I don't know details of this story
at eight thirty. Revisit it. Yeah,

103
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.080
your other stories you're better than this
one. No, I've got stuff,

104
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.720
But I mean there's some stuff in
that story that about how those shootings

105
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.879
went down. They've done they've done
some preliminary investigation, and it's pretty crazy

106
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.639
about what this kid did and the
fact that he just immediately went on the

107
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.840
lamb. Your other stories, you're
better than this one. I'm not saying

108
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:54.960
I'm gonna exclude the other stories.
You meet whistle. Let's transition into our

109
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:01.320
two news, our two news honkeyes. No, it's our two unremarkable newshounds

110
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:07.759
are going at it yelling about their
news segment. I want to just advance

111
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.039
the topic. That's what we do. Martep, Yep, yep. But

112
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.279
don't leave out the good stuff.
Oh he's yelling again. I wish he'd

113
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:24.360
stop just hadding some energy and flair. I get it. We're not sleepy.

114
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.840
God. Good news, double shot
of good news for MAVs fans.

115
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:28.919
Are you ready? You had it
for this? How ready are you?

116
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.480
They played tonight, need to win. Things are not been looking good,

117
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.840
but they have announced that thirteen games, including tonight, will be airing on

118
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.919
w FAA. So if any of
you are out there struggling with the ballely

119
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:48.279
situation, MAVs are gonna get a
bunch of games aired for you. Second

120
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.000
half of the season on Channel eight
pretty much the entire month of March.

121
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.320
It looks like, right, it's
a lot, a lot. I can

122
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.399
tell you that. It's Uh,
so you get March one, three,

123
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.440
seven, nine, eleven, thirty, yeah, nine, eleven, thirteen,

124
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.600
seventeen, twenty nine, and then
April fifth, nineth, tenth,

125
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.919
and twelfth. That is great,
So you get a lot of that action.

126
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.840
The the way they work this out
is so some of this it's gonna

127
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.519
help, I guess, because Bally
couldn't pay for some of this. Apparently

128
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:28.399
it seems like god, it's worded
like that in the article, but I

129
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.720
was reading through it and I was
like, it basically is like Bally needs

130
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.320
help. That sinking ship is just
on fire as it goes down into the

131
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.440
water and just selling whatever they can
sell. Yep. And when when all

132
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.440
the when there's a stories like this, there's always a parent company involved in

133
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:50.200
The parent company is called Tegna,
and Tegna is like, oh my god,

134
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.679
yes, hell yeah, Techno Channel
eight and they're like, oh yeah,

135
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.279
MAVs games would be great over these
reruns of Only Murders in the Building

136
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.559
that we're airing. Just because writers
strike, we didn't have a lot of

137
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:07.480
content, So it'll be the same
ballet team. It'll be Followell and Harp

138
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.919
and Devin Harris and Skin and Leslie
McCaslin, the whole group, you know,

139
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.080
doing their thing, and it's WFA
tonight tonight. It's kind of cool

140
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.279
that the thing gets announced and then
whammy. Yes, Now this might have

141
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:28.720
been another a normal national NBA on
ABC game though in fact it was.

142
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.080
So this is already because they've been
doing kind of Wednesday nights. Yep,

143
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.240
they had the In fact, MAVs
were playing the MAVs Madvs and Lakers last

144
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.639
Wednesday, that's true, So it's
MAVs Sons tonight. This is such a

145
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:46.399
brings me such pleasure and joy watching
the Celtics on Monday. The apparatus that

146
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.440
I have to set up to get
that thing streamed to my TV. First

147
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.799
of all, the pictures not that
great. They're buffering, and I will

148
00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:03.440
ask you not no less than seventy
five close outs before the pop ups subsided

149
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.000
to where it was just a clean
game. And then it's still and I'm

150
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:11.799
in like the third quarter, and
it just for no reason just jumps back

151
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.360
to the middle of the first.
So then you've got to refresh it,

152
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.879
and then you've got to go through
all the pop ups again. And then

153
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.480
I get on Reddit and I'm trying
to find streamings. I found a good

154
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.879
one by the way, Yeah,
yeah, really good one that is much

155
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.279
less pop ups. But the one
that I've been using, good God.

156
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.240
Can you imagine. Let's say that
my mom was in town and she's like,

157
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.559
oh, the Maps are playing the
Celtics. She's from Massachusetts. That'd

158
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:39.000
be a great thing for us to
do together. Okay, Mom, hold

159
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.039
on, let me get my computer
out. Holy crap, that's a beaver.

160
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.840
Those are boobs. Yeah, oh
my god. No, I don't

161
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:52.120
want to go gambling. Ah,
what's she doing with that thing? You

162
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.519
know? I don't want that in
front of my mom. So now that

163
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.480
they're going to be on ABC,
this is good news for me and you.

164
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:05.879
Not the entire schedule, but partially
solved thirteen games. Great. He

165
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.039
said, it was a double shot
of good news. Here's the double shirt.

166
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:15.759
A very unorthodox thing happened yesterday in
Milwaukee. I'm gonna get this back

167
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.320
to the MAVs in a Second's worked
with me for a second. First year

168
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:24.720
head coach Adrian Griffin fired by the
way, the Bucks are thirty and thirteen.

169
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.360
I think yep, unless they played
last night and one. So thirty

170
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:35.200
and thirteen is the record fired first
year head coach. Why because he doesn't

171
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.759
get along or he it's because Jannis
the Star doesn't like him. I mean,

172
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.480
that's what I think. Jannis has
had a lot of critical comments about

173
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:50.039
the mood, not shots really so
much at the organization. It's just clear

174
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.679
that he's been unhappy. Now I'm
gonna go back to a post from September

175
00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:00.320
fourteenth, twenty twenty three. This
is from the Zodiac GM. I don't

176
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:05.519
know if you'll follow the Zodiac GM
on Twitter. I do now. He

177
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:15.600
put this again September Jannis Sagittarius and
Adrian Griffin Cancer. That's D plus synergy.

178
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.480
Jannis's most compatible coaches would be Nick
Nurse, who's a LEO A plus,

179
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.559
Budenhozer, who's a LEO A plus, Doc Rivers who's a Libra a

180
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:30.120
plus, kid who's an Aries a
plus, and Steve Kerr is a Libra

181
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.960
a plus. These are the type
of coaches that matches Giannis's energy. I

182
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:39.559
can see him being unhappy in Milwaukee
being under new coach Griffin. And sure

183
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:46.759
enough, forty three games in,
despite winning almost seventy percent of those games

184
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:52.200
as predicted by the Zodiac Killer the
Zodiac GM right, Yes, what if

185
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.159
he got so unhappy there that he
wanted to go find a coach that he

186
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.639
matches his center with. And I'll
tell you what. We're on the short

187
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:07.159
list, Jason Kidd. The bad
news is Doc Rivers is the who is

188
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.600
the on the A team of the
NBA broadcast in fact, might be doing

189
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:18.200
tonight's game. Doc Rivers is going
to probably begetting the Milwaukee Bucks job,

190
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.600
which is pretty good gig for him. Do half the season on the NBA

191
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.440
on ABC broadcasting team and then jump
in and get Yannis in a team that's

192
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:35.679
already up at the top of the
Eastern Conference standings just because we're really liking

193
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:41.360
the new guy too much. I
kind of admire a franchise not scared to

194
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:45.679
do something like that. I mean, you're thirty and thirteen. There's a

195
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:50.879
zero reason to fire ahead coach from
an external viewpoint. But to realize whatever

196
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.000
that is, and if it is
just butting heads with your the reason that

197
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.679
you're thirty and thirteen, that's reason
enough. I mean, and then I

198
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.519
look, hopefully we have Jason Cay
not with us, maybe tomorrow if we

199
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:07.919
win. But I can't shake the
thought that we might not be getting the

200
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:14.919
most out of this roster. And
last offseason when Budenholzer and Doc Rivers and

201
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.320
Nick Nurse were all available, I
remember saying it, like, why don't

202
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.960
we consider this? You know?
I mean when we had Carlisle, you

203
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.320
knew, unless we were playing the
Spurs, you were going to have the

204
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.360
smartest coach on the bench, like
you were going to do the right thing.

205
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:34.399
Now, the results whatever. I
just hope that in five years we

206
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.639
don't look back and say we had
two of the top ten players in the

207
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.200
league and we were always just a
middling middle of the West team. Why

208
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.919
but the Bucks who are thirty and
thirteen at the courage You'd be like,

209
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:52.720
look, and I'm the owner,
and this is why. I don't know.

210
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.679
I just kind of had this feeling
like somebody else And Doc Rivers was

211
00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:03.559
a perfect example last offseason, established
coach, a winner. Yeah, I

212
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.519
just hope we're getting the most out
of what we got. And yes,

213
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.759
you can say we have two guys
and no one else, and that is

214
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:14.759
probably true as well. But I
just don't know. We should be better,

215
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.119
we should be more consistent and not
be on this insane roller coaster.

216
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.839
I think they were counting on twenty
five year old Grant Williams to come give

217
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.559
them a little more than he's given
them. He's been hurt. Is there

218
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.400
a thought that he should just sit
out for two weeks and get right and

219
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:34.799
then we get him back? Remember
he was great in October in early November.

220
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.359
Yeah, I like him, but
he's not in the edition that No,

221
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:44.599
not yet, and apparently he's playing
through injuries and they all are.

222
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.400
Would you say this team's personnel is
better now than it was when they made

223
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:53.640
the conference finals? I think I
would say it is. You would,

224
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:57.839
well, just because the NBA is
so like top heavy with stars, that

225
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.880
just because of the addition of Kyrie, Yeah, you have to think what

226
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.119
else? I mean, what are
we missing from that? The whole team's

227
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:11.279
pretty much here. I mean Jason
took him to that. Yeah, and

228
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.640
then the first you guess, I
just and maybe I'm not a large enough

229
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.319
basketball brain to know that we're get
if we're ever getting out coached. I

230
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.720
don't know if that's exactly true,
but I rarely do I feel like,

231
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.039
oh my god, we are out
coaching them. Yeah, a solid,

232
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:30.759
steady hand over there, kind of
have our rotation, and yeah, they've

233
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.200
been injured this year. I get
it. I think it's I think it's

234
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.079
more about personnel than it is.
Look, how much is how much coaching

235
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.920
is going on with Luca has the
ball and he's bringing it up the court.

236
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.359
No, I get that, and
I was doing his thing. Could

237
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.359
any coach come in and make Luca
better? Like, I don't know,

238
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:53.319
maybe that'd be an attitude thing or
how happy he is, but the dude's

239
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.400
lighting it up every time he's on
the floor. Just mighte being bashed up

240
00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:02.720
himself, and he's questionable for tonight
as well. Supporting cast is wildly inconsistent

241
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.480
that simple. Yes, but I
think Jason gid was brought in to give

242
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.839
Luca someone that he could just look
at and respect, because this dude was

243
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:17.240
near my level. How good do
we feel about things if they win tonight

244
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:21.640
over Phoenix, who has Kevin Durant
and Devin Booker, I mean good,

245
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.200
right? I mean you feel like
they've been doing what they've been You feel

246
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.559
like they'd be doing what they've been
doing, which is up and down,

247
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.039
up and down, up and down. I just, yeah, how many

248
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.240
games has is the fact that Jason
Kidd is our head coach won for the

249
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.559
Mavericks, and it's hard to judge. I don't know that answer. Yeah,

250
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.319
I don't know. But if Danny
Bayless is the coach of the Dallas

251
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:44.720
Mavericks, I am available. Sure
Luca would still be going out and lighting

252
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.799
it up. I do have more
questions about things happening on the court than

253
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.400
I ever did with Rick Carlisle,
at least that I can remember, although

254
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.759
I remember a few playoff series going. Why did he insist on playing small

255
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.279
that entire series? Then we get
beat by the Hornet. I do remember

256
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:04.799
those days ten plus years ago,
So I'm not running from that, but

257
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:10.000
I do agree with you on that. Does he bring you a coaching edge

258
00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:15.920
tangibly on the court, I don't
know, And do like if Lively's not

259
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:22.279
there, we thought Racon Holt,
Rashawn Holmes was gonna help us. I

260
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.720
mean, these were your top five
highest paid players, and he was part

261
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.440
of the draft day deal, you
know, But he's just kind of sitting

262
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.720
there and hardly ever plays, and
there's eleven million dollars just of dead weight

263
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:40.400
well on many nights kind of thought, Jane Hardy might take another big step.

264
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.160
You'd never know if he's gonna get
a DNP, yeah, or if

265
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.960
he's gonna have to play thirty minutes
to help bail out the offense. If

266
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:53.079
if Luca or Kyrie are not both
playing or both dominating a game, you

267
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.400
are having to play Tim Hardaway more
than you want to because Grant Williams has

268
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.599
giving you no offense and Tim Harroway
is doing good and you're at his job,

269
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.279
which is make three pointers. Yeah, you're thinking, well, sacrificing

270
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:10.079
defense by you know, there's a
lot that they could use a boost.

271
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:14.519
There's no doubt some form of an
upgrade, But I don't know where that

272
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:15.880
is and how you can make the
money work and all those things. And

273
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:19.160
I just know every time they lose
a game, Luca looks like the most

274
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:23.279
pissed off person on planet Earth.
Yeah, And a lot of these games

275
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.480
they're down by ten, they're down
by fifteen, and just kind of scratching

276
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.079
and calling to get back in it. And it feels like when they're winning,

277
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.000
they're scratching and calling to get by
some of those Yeah, hold,

278
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.640
many people anymore. You know.
I just think when they look their best,

279
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:38.279
they look really good and they look
like they can play with just about

280
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:41.160
anyone. And I feel like the
coach's job is to just make them look

281
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:45.559
more like their best than their middle
or their worst. And at they're worst,

282
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:52.519
they really look grumpy. Yeah,
disorganized, that's body language from your

283
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.759
captain, dude. I'm run from
that. I'm very very I do not

284
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:02.759
like criticizing Luca because he might be
the great just like basketball talent we've ever

285
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:06.960
seen overall, he really might be
up there. There's a Lebron type numbers

286
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:10.720
in his career that he's put up
so far. Yeah, nuts, But

287
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:12.640
you see him and you're just like, God, would you just get back

288
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:18.000
on defense one time? Would you
please? But it's interesting, like he's

289
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.920
he's played better defense than key moments. He'll tell you. I keep telling

290
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:26.680
you this. Geez. Him not
ever taking a summer off is caught up

291
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:32.599
with him. I do believe that
maybe those Euros don't take summers off,

292
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:37.000
man, they are loyal to their
homelands. Yeah, which is cool.

293
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.920
It took Dirk a long time before
he quit doing it. MAVs Sons tonight,

294
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.920
KG will have the pregame for you
at seven. We get it going

295
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.920
at seven thirty. MAVs Sons tonight
here on ninety seven one. What's next,

296
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.079
Kevin, I'm stoked. Load up
