00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:08.519
The downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak seven o'clock new presidential candidate

2
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:15.679
who changed his name to literally anybody
else will call in and as a local

3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.600
guy school teacher took a nice guy. I touched him on the phone for

4
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:23.839
a couple of minutes last night,
but he also seemed very busy, so

5
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.640
knock out one of his media obligations. This morning, at seven oh five,

6
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:33.920
we're tracking the Baltimore bridge collapse.
It's the Francis Scott Key Bridge was

7
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:40.119
hit by a cargo ship from Singapore, not intentionally, but we do know

8
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:47.520
that this happened overnight round one thirty
am and the ship hit a pillar on

9
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:52.399
the bridge. The bridge then collapsed
overwater. They were construction workers who were

10
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.560
on the bridge at the time.
Not a lot of traffic. I believe

11
00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:00.000
the roads were closed for construction,
but they were construction vehicles and construction workers

12
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.400
were on the bridge in the water. Two people have been rescued, but

13
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:11.959
they're now in the kind search and
recovery portion of this is a bad scene.

14
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:17.920
I was reading that the BBC reported
that the ship lost power before it

15
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.159
hit, that actually lost power a
couple times before it hit, and that

16
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:29.120
it the captain was unable to steer
the ship at the time of impact.

17
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.319
Not fully confirmed, but that's one
report that's out there that might explain why

18
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:41.920
something like this could happen. Twelve
twenty seven am Central time, So you're

19
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:47.560
looking at five six hours ago.
Yeah, I didn't know It'd put my

20
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.439
phone up for the night, but
it was the first thing I saw it.

21
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.120
Fifteen this morning. I did go
to bed reading about Puffy. Yeah,

22
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:59.840
look up reading about a bridge.
Yeah, terrible as far as as

23
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.760
the distraction Puffy needs though. As
far as rescue, search, rescue,

24
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:14.919
and recovery efforts, Baltimore Fire chief
says that their authorities have detected vehicles submerged

25
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:19.240
in the water using sonar. Says
our sonar has detected the presence of vehicles

26
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.039
submerged in the water. I don't
have account of that yet, he said.

27
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.599
Emergency services are using sonar, drones
and infrared technology as part of their

28
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.560
search for people in vehicles who may
have fallen from the Key Bridge into the

29
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:39.159
Patapsco River. While knowing how my
mind works, it didn't take long for

30
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:46.319
me to go back to season two
of HBO's original series of The Wire and

31
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.960
think how many times. This bridge
was probably featured in b roll shots in

32
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:57.599
that wonderful series, A very maligned
season by most folks, but one of

33
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.599
my favorites. It was fine,
it was great. It's like, why

34
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.719
are they putting macnaulty on a boat? There's more to it than that.

35
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.599
But yeah, I bet the I
wonder how the Subotka family is handling all

36
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.439
of this. I saw this to
thirty to thirty five thousand vehicles a day

37
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.280
appear on this bridge. Well,
so they were just working on it overnight

38
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.199
and it was going to open up
for rush hour traffic. I think it

39
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.719
was probably are you saying it was
closed or no? It was. I

40
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.840
saw that it was closed the whole
bridge really, not just and I've just

41
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:30.120
been a portion of it was closed
and they put it down to two lanes

42
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:36.759
for regular vehicle travel. Come and
fill in a pothole or something. Yeah,

43
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.439
I mean it's kind of amazing they
because they did save they said two

44
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:43.840
people out of the water, right, Yeah, that's sort of amazing right

45
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.879
there. One hundred and eighty five
foot fall into the water. You think

46
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.840
that would kill you on impact?
Right? Am I crazy? There?

47
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.360
No? Yeah? I mean I
guess at the bridge's highest point, which

48
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.560
I who knows if they were there. Yeah, but yeah, just to

49
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.120
save two. And they said that
die evers within an hour or so.

50
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.719
We're in the water. I mean, that's an amazing rescue response. But

51
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:09.560
you have to find two. That's
good. And they're still you said looking

52
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:15.879
for seven. Yeah around road.
Guess right now, I guess that's hard

53
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.199
to believe to me as big as
that chunk of bridge was. Also,

54
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:24.920
this is this is I guess it's
more of a thought on the northeast in

55
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:29.040
what it's like up there to hear
was reading. The collaps is blocked off

56
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.240
the entire port of Baltimore. So
container ships, cruise ships, et cetera.

57
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.639
Are all gonna be trapped in the
harbor or re routed to Virginia,

58
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:41.000
where yeah, if that is their
thoroughfare and that and I mean that entire

59
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.160
stretch of river is closed. We
rarely go we're gonna have to reroute you

60
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.600
to another state. We never say
that here. I'm sorry, you're gonna

61
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:57.600
be rerouted to Oklahoma, Arkansas?
I I don't know. Then, Yeah,

62
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.720
there's there's the fire department saying seven
people miss We'll get ready for the

63
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:10.079
triumphant return of the phrase supply chain
back into our vernacular gifts because we're focusing

64
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:15.079
on the mortgage. Yep, this
is a this is a bad deal.

65
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.199
That is huge. I mean the
traffic and people Baltimore. Like I've just

66
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.959
just following a couple of threads and
people are just going, oh my god,

67
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.120
my traffic, my my commute to
work is going to be brutal.

68
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:30.839
I mean, not the number one
story today, but this was gonna help

69
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.000
plot. I mean, like you
said earlier, imagine that's one of our

70
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:39.720
major highway intersections just disappeared for whatever
reason. You know, you don't have

71
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:43.879
to apply something terrible to it.
It was just gone. Yes, it

72
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:47.959
would be chaos everywhere else, and
that's going to affect everyone in that city.

73
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.720
I can't even imagine. I've also
pulled up some well, maybe we'll

74
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.519
do a little bit later. We
tracked this all morning long. But some

75
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:02.319
other big bridge collapses and in history, but we'll cover that a little bit

76
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.600
later. Let's deal with sports right
now, which we normally do at seven.

77
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:14.839
We'll do it now. Yeah,
sports, it's kind of like morbid

78
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:20.439
morning. Well, let's be fair
and balanced. We were up semi late

79
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:30.680
watching a pretty important Mamicks game.
I'm sure you guys have great thoughts on

80
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:36.199
it. Oh, Danny did the
Bally? Did the Bally bug infect your

81
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.720
intestines last night? Oh? I
streamed? I figured it out stream.

82
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:46.680
Did some big old gal what pop
on there and ask you to come meet

83
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.319
her? She's only five minutes away
if you want a live local connect.

84
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:54.120
Well, I'm basically on year three
of doing this now. Due to my

85
00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:02.560
lack of availability to easily access the
Bally's broadcast, I've been able to strategically

86
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:09.279
click off the pop up before it
reveals the content of the pop up,

87
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.160
so I don't have to see so
you know where the pop up's coming.

88
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.439
Yeah, finger mouse is ready,
It's ready to go, So before the

89
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.759
images are revealed to me, I'm
able to click it off. Now that

90
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.360
been part is, you know,
if I'm trying to watch a MAVs game

91
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.759
and the kids around, I don't
want him seeing some spandex in normanity,

92
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.480
all in all of her nude glory
there for him to see. And personally,

93
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:38.040
you know, I'm fine with it, but you may have missed out

94
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:43.360
on an opportunity with your true one
and only. Yeah, who was only

95
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:50.040
five miles away. They popped off
because of your quick, negligent finger.

96
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.360
Why are there always so many local
singles in my area? I know,

97
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:59.839
right, I don't understand they never
show up at Alamo draft House on movie

98
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.040
now. You know, it's just
a bunch of dudes. Maybe tonight your

99
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.319
night, dude, Maybe tonight is
your night, and we welcome all of

100
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:11.079
our dude friends the Draft House seaters
tonight, big come and get the fire

101
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.720
d Yeah, a few tickets left, a few seats available. Oh yeah,

102
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.079
we're doing good though, But yeah, there are a few on there.

103
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.399
So if you want to join us
for step Brothers tonight, it's game

104
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.240
day, you know, if you're
like I wasn't sure what my schedule was,

105
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.000
you can still get one of a
handful of tickets. Still some good

106
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.320
ones for our little party this evening
at Alamo Sedars. I was a little

107
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.720
nervous when the Mavericks gave up forty
one points in the first quarter, and

108
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.080
then I settled into we'll be alright, we'll hang in. We're not the

109
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.000
old MAVs. The old MAVs were. If you're not shooting well, then

110
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.919
you're probably gonna end up losing.
The new MAVs can withstand that and went

111
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.039
in different ways. They can get
out shot from behind the arc and end

112
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.480
up fighting through it because we get
the lob goblins. Now, I'm going

113
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.039
with it. Let's keep it going. Everyone in on it. No,

114
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.720
No, there's some better or we
just don't need anything. But I don't

115
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.440
hate it. I feel like I
am at a restaurant and they brought me

116
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.759
my wrong order. But it still
looks pretty good, so I'll eat it.

117
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.159
So that's how I feel about the
knob Goblins. The knob Goblins.

118
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.480
It's different. It's okay until we
eat it, we'll go with it.

119
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.399
If there are the knob Goblins,
they wouldn't be able to catch somebody on

120
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.840
the posts of the knob. What
is it, lob goblin? Lob Goblins

121
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.879
said? We if Lively keeps growing
his hair out, we call him sideshow

122
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:43.000
Lob. That's really good because he
does. I mean he does have there.

123
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.200
Yeah, here's nuts. You mentioned
that this isn't the old Mavericks.

124
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.080
It's not the old Jazz either.
I mean that team, as talented as

125
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.600
they are, you know, and
they do. They've got some some really

126
00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:00.759
great components. But when it got
down to you know nutc crunch time.

127
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.759
What an aimless bunch. That's the
team that traded away all the players.

128
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.720
That was a team that in the
fourth quarter, when the Mavericks finally scratched

129
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.960
back and took the lead and then
took that expanded that lead to what was

130
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.639
about twelve points. That was a
team that was looking at each other with

131
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.559
the with the sheer expression on their
faces of we don't know what to do

132
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:28.519
now, we want to go home? Yeah, yeah, except for Laura

133
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.080
Markin and who frightens me? And
he's really good. Yeah, he is

134
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:37.399
good. Seven feet, made six
threes. He just jacked. Just did

135
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.360
a Smith Junior draft, right,
I think that the same year. I

136
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:45.240
think he was the seventh pick twenty
seventeen. Think we took DSJ eight maybe

137
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.240
is that right? I think so? Or was marketing in the Luca draft.

138
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.799
I don't know. It's just questions
that I ask on days like this,

139
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.799
there are questions that the answers are
readily available. I thought this because

140
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:05.080
you end up with Luca has another
performance where he has well, he had

141
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.440
twenty nine. I think you easy
triple double. Kyrie gets his twenty seven.

142
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.759
They kind of came late though,
Luca was icy early. Yeah,

143
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.279
and I was even thinking, I
mean, he might be going through whatever.

144
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.440
I mean, it's pretty funny that
it's still triple doubles. Even if

145
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.039
lucas in a wooden slump. He'll
say that was he three for thirteen at

146
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.120
one point, like he was cold, and we said two of his worst

147
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.200
shooting performances of his career have been
in the last ten days or so two

148
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.799
weeks. So I was like,
oh, man, if he's cold and

149
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.240
you know they're winning, like that's
kind of amazing to show that the other

150
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.279
dudes, you're picking him up and
wait till he gets normal or god forbid

151
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.440
hot again and they're gonna be that
much better. But yeah, he was

152
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.120
two of eleven from three. I
mean, he's just it's I'll say it

153
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.600
again, and I've said this about
a game or two since the trade.

154
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:01.240
The difference in this game is that
in Utah near impossible to win. I

155
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:05.759
think they've won only one game in
like their last almost twenty games up there.

156
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.440
That's a game they lose. I
think before the trade, I really

157
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.519
do. I don't think they find
a clear path to come back and win

158
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:22.360
that thing without maybe a last second
Luca Magic three to take it to overtime

159
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.080
or something like that, but that
was a decided victory by the end of

160
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.720
it. When it was all said
and done, the Mavericks beat them,

161
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.399
and you know, the last couple
of minutes were just kind of window dressing.

162
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.440
Let's just kill the clock, and
it has never really any any real

163
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.519
need for concern. It wasn't a
close game, per se, and they

164
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.600
trailed for what three quarters? Basically, we all roll with me on something

165
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.039
for a minute. Yes, shoot, I thoughout this last night. Well,

166
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:56.279
I'll brushing my teeth before I went
to bed. Dirk Luca okay,

167
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:05.159
Jason Terry, Kyrie Irving, PJ
Washington, Sean Marion okay, can't see

168
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:13.320
where I'm going here, Dante ExHAM
weirdly, and this could all change depending

169
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.559
on how they end up with the
playing kind of the Jason Kidd roll.

170
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.279
This sounds crazy, but good defense, not gonna give you a ton offensively.

171
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.159
I'm trying to think like Tim Hardaway
comes and plays like who was to

172
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.159
give us? Like this is all
flimsy, But I'm just comparing this team

173
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.120
to kind of the title team Who's
payghow. I kind of think it might

174
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.480
be Tim Hardaway Junior. Okay,
but if that needs to be ExHAM or

175
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:43.679
it needs to be Jayden Hardy,
I guess Gafford Lively is your Tyson Chandeler

176
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.399
element. Now I'm get in some
tough spots here when you start looking for

177
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.519
who's the JJ Brea, you know, maybe there's your Jaydon Hardy, but

178
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.559
JJ brew I got key minutes and
started in some games, and he's like,

179
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.480
I getting a problem there. I
think more Brea than Yeah, than

180
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:03.759
Marion. But you kind of start
to see where you can kind of go,

181
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:09.039
okay, is there some sort of
like it's all different, I know,

182
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.159
and it's all loose, but you
kind of see now that the depths

183
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.399
there, like, okay, I'm
not saying go on a title, but

184
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.679
the depth is so good. The
cocaine kangaroo can't even get on the wood.

185
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.080
Yeah. Well he hurt? Right? Is he is? He still

186
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.000
hurt? Okay? My bad?
Yeah? He rolled his ankle up.

187
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:31.399
Yeah. And what did they say
about Powell that he's played thirty minutes since

188
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.960
the All Star break? See?
Ye, Powell is now jan MAHEMEI he

189
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:43.720
might be Brian Cardinal, Right,
Cardinal got minutes like Cardinal might be Josh

190
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.720
Green Weirdly, I don't know.
There's ways to get there. It's keep

191
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.480
going, it's all flimsy. Corey
Brewers got to play a role in there

192
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:56.879
somehow, and maybe that's your exhum
I don't know, but I'm forgetting to

193
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.200
Sean Stevenson jesus. Yeah, and
you don't have Jason Kidd yet. Yeah.

194
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.279
I mean, as I was leaning
X over there, hold on Derek

195
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:11.320
Jones Junior needs a spot. Maybe
he's your Stevenson. Maybe seem shooting threies.

196
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.080
It's not the same team. We
know. It's not the same team.

197
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.279
I know, but you see the
past to get in there at Luca

198
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:24.720
usually high score Kyrie usually five to
ten points behind him, and then who

199
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:26.639
else came through? Tim Hartley's thirteen
points in the first half last night.

200
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.919
Huge. What you have. What
you're saying is you have a collection of

201
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:37.480
players that provide depth and pretty defined
roles, and they have their rotation.

202
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:43.200
If it's not figured out, it
is well on its way. And it,

203
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.919
like we were saying yesterday, it's
amazing our perception of our head coach

204
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:52.240
after getting players on the court that
work together, you know, after acquiring

205
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:58.559
some some talent that really balances out
your your roster and your rotations. Yeah.

206
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:03.360
Yeah, no one's talking about kid
now now. And it's human nature,

207
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.080
I think when that's the title that
we still have in our heads to

208
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.399
try to do those applications and don't
blame you at all. I mean it's

209
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.759
even more like nebulous than what you're
thinking is. I think of just like

210
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:19.480
the magic factor, like you feel
something weird going on, and since that

211
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.720
trade, yeah, it feels very
different. I mean it was never all

212
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:27.039
we were was, you know,
two of the ten best basketball players on

213
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:33.559
Earth and then the ragtag misfits.
But now with these two guys and Gaffer

214
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:38.639
was great again last night, as
was PJ. They're consistent, you know,

215
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:44.120
they're throwing down. They give those
creative guards such pick and roll opportunities.

216
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.720
I think this team does scare a
lot of teams. They should look

217
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:56.240
at any given unless it's garbage time
at the end when the MAVs are blowing

218
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.120
somebody out. There's never a time
during the game where you don't at least

219
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:07.200
have Luca and Kyrie or Kyrie on
the court. There's not a time where

220
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.920
you at least don't have Gafford or
Lively on the court, and they're never

221
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.200
gonna play. They're never gonna play
at the same time. I can't imagine

222
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.000
a scenario where you'd have Danny Gafford
and Lively on the floor at the same

223
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:23.400
time. Luca and Kyrie play together
a good amount, but they're never absent.

224
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:29.240
They're always on. One of those
guys is always on the floor,

225
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.160
So you kind of swap out your
bigs for another big, and they're both

226
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.400
effective in their own ways. Trade
made with Plafford's a beast, though,

227
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.000
Dude, he is a beast.
I had no idea who that guy was

228
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:44.799
or anything about him until he got
here. Right now, you're almost like,

229
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.440
well, how did we not at
these notice him somewhere? See I

230
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.640
heard the name, you know,
And yeah, because my brother messes with

231
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:56.119
basketball cards, I've seen him.
But he is just a force. It's

232
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:02.319
a better finisher than people sold him
as, Like like finishes, not ones

233
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:04.240
that are all dunks, clearly,
but it's god of like nifty, like

234
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:10.880
little three feet away, a little
touch over a defender, like that's hard

235
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:12.839
to do on the fly like that, I can see the PJ Mary in

236
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:18.000
comparison. Now defense, yeah,
you know, and that was kind of

237
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:19.440
his knocks that he wouldn't trying as
hard as he could. And Charlotte,

238
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:25.000
Yeah, okay, they were losing. Well, they gave up what forty

239
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.640
one points in the first quarter and
then forty five points total in the second

240
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:32.440
and third quarter. Yeah, like
they can flip this defensive switch now that

241
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:36.200
they may have wanted two a month
ago. But like we said, maybe

242
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:40.480
they just aren't capable of it.
But now you got the horses. Also,

243
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:45.279
trade happens immediate high of the trade
good and then like the figure it

244
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.519
out portion and that's where they dip
down. All right, she got that

245
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.839
figure it out portion. A.
Lets say it's Sacramento. You can get

246
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:55.119
smoked by Sacramento to night. You're
going, oh crap, and they gotta

247
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:56.559
be Yeah, that's this is a
It sucks. That's on the second half

248
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.240
of back to back, but that's
the team that they're essentially tied with,

249
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:06.400
or they are they're exactly tied with
Sacramentos. It's between six and seven in

250
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:10.359
the West. I mean, you're
dancing on that playing game line. And

251
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:14.200
don't you feel like that, Like
that's let's make this a team that isn't

252
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:17.720
dancing on the damn playing line,
which they have been for a couple of

253
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:19.960
years. Now, this is your
chance, and they look like it.

254
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.640
They look like a team that shouldn't
be, that could continue to press forward.

255
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.400
I mean seven and three in the
last ten or eight and two in

256
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:32.240
their last ten. It's fun.
It's fun if nothing else, I mean,

257
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:33.640
you got a little bit of belief, and that's pretty strong too,

258
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:40.160
but it's like rooted in quality play. But again, they're winning a lot

259
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:44.079
if they're If you lose last night
somehow, which was the game was in

260
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:45.960
the balance with ten minutes to go
or so, and then they just kind

261
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.079
of stepped on their throat, which
is fine, end up winning by ten.

262
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:52.480
Good, but yes, you still
have that like pang of God.

263
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.799
All right, can you lose to
Utah and Utah? Yeah you can,

264
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:04.640
so a remember Tuesday tonight and then
Sacramento again Friday, so you're stuck in

265
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:11.160
sec Grelino for a few days two
days off. Though Phoenix lost to the

266
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.160
Spurs without Wimby last nights. They're
kind of creeping around too at the eight

267
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.240
seed. Half a game behind,
you got the tiebreaker on so that's good,

268
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.079
and half a game up on him, so well, mass stuff,

269
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.400
what's the the O Tawny stuff.
A little later in the show, obviously

270
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.519
tracking that whole bridge situation in Baltimore, But coming up next, we've got

271
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:34.880
what I believe to be is a
guy who's trying to get on the ballots,

272
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:38.920
the local guy for North Richland Hills. He changed his name to literally

273
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:42.920
anybody else, and he's running for
president. We'll talk to him now on

274
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:44.920
ninety seven one. The Freak
