way because that's the year that Luka Doncic was born. He's twenty five today
and we'll big day talking about Luca a lot throughout the show, but the
birthday party today all day. Hell yeah, it is blobeni and jams just
for him because he's definitely on the road getting ready for tonight's game listening to
the iHeartRadio app. There's no doubt about it, no, And we are
going to have the time warp, which hadn't been done in a long time.
So if you don't know what that is, it doesn't matter. But
you can call in two and four eight one seven seven eight seven one nine
seven one call in you join up with Mikey, join up with Danny two
v two Did this event happen in ninety four, ninety nine or two thousand
and four the time Wharf to celebrate Luka Doncic for a prize of Hoodi and
the Blowfish tickets. That's an eight. It's perfect. Rent now is to
sports Chereja creakiup Yes, Kevin Kevin Sports seven. Last night on ninety seven
one the Free and Late No Look down Low Washington Land laid it in two
point six seconds to go. Cavaliers don't have a time out. They get
it up to Strus for behind half port for three. It's God and it's
pandemonium. They're gonna review it. But he got it away in time.
There's no doubt. Last night on bally Sports Southwest Valley de Flex shot,
he Luca comes away with it six seconds five seconds underneath watched time two flick
six to go. They're aunt a timeouts. Tell Us leaves my god,
bubbling struce. Hey hold that Strus, I don't leave it. The got
to review it. Nex Trus hit it sixty feet salt hot Fridge City.
That's what I thought I'd have seen it all that was Harp's response was so
litarian. When they're running down all of all of his infractions and he just
at the end he goes, can my mom help her harp? They gotta
review it. No, maybe that was well in time. I was halfway
home before the red went on. Max Struce was my big player on my
betting apps last night, though, is I definitely took the over on him,
he did, and then he went on a heater, good great hit
That I mean is he is ridiculous. He's a good player, he's a
good shooter, but like that, what happened last night was nuts. You
know what he is. He's to the decimal point thirty six point one percent
career three point shooter, which is exactly thirty six point one, the same
as Tim Hardaway junior Okay, for their careers. And that was a very
We've seen Tim Hardaway, maybe not the fifty nine footer have games like that.
You can get hot. You get about two or three of those a
year from a guy that that can that can do what he does, and
it happened last night. And there's no accounting for making five threes within five
minutes, especially one from half beyond half court. His only shots incredible,
it's all he does. You have to tip your hat man. Yeah,
the Donovan Mitchell. The bank, the bank that one more than anything.
It's like guys on a heater, then you kind of get that covered and
then he banks one in. I think that's when followell or it was after
the fourth Strews three is when Foll goes what is Foll was indable him and
Coop but follow up where it was incredible last night and I texted you,
guys, Mark is about to have an aneurysm and Mikey goes, so am
I because that was some high, high leverage basketball. I mean, that
was one of the more fun I mean, I hate just right. I
mean they lost, but I wasn't even bummed. Really, No, you
take your temp like, all right, there's no accounting for a streak like
that. And look, keep in mind, everybody's freaking out what Streuce did.
But had it not been for Luca doing the exact same thing to them
in about a similarly uh timed stretch stretch in the third quarter, fourth quarter,
I guess whatever that was that Luco just went crazy to drag the Mavericks
back into that game when they were down by as much as fifteen. Single
handedly got them back into that game. It's no different than that. It's
just when it happened, it was just crushing. But that was one of
the best basketball games I've ever watched. I'm good you said that, because
that's a little bit of what we're gonna talk about at nine is how we
might or probably we are taking Luca for granted, you know, is he's
twenty five and doing amazing things to me and Mike, we're talking on the
phone about this yesterday or are we talking about this when we were playing pickleball
yesterday? And that's a little bit what we'll talk about nine when we have
a little birthday celebration for Luca too, because you're right, well, everything
that happens at the end of that game, did I just now thought about
how Luca went off in the third quarter. I mean, and he shouldn't
be that way. It should be And then, you know, part of
the reason maybe I feel that one didn't hurt as much is because now that
they made trade deadline reinforcements, I'm like, good now, very good,
shot, very good. Otherwise that's oh, another bad loss. What are
we gonna do? Can we ever get this thing going? The difference is
when Luca does that, you're kind of Oh, I expect that that's what
Luca does. But when Struce does it, I mean you you can't.
You just have to put your hands up in the air with the you know
the emoji that does this and go, I don't know what else you're supposed
to do, right. He was actually pretty well defended on the fifty nine
footer. It was It's not like he was just wide open. Winter freaks
out, you know about the refs, and we can talk about that for
a second. But then I saw a couple like how do you let him
have that shot? I'm like, it's a sixty fen footer, Like,
what are you gonna do? Luca was at least there, and he jumped
like, I don't know how how you press them harder than that and then
risk them going over the top and having an easier shot. I don't know.
And you can't foul on that. No, no, no point.
But it hurts worse because Shruce killed you for the whole five minutes. It
wasn't just like that's a fluky shot. He and if you're hot, yeah,
but it wasn't really fluky. The threes that you just kept raining before
that that essentially turned a ten point deficit into nothing. He was just a
blaze. And then when you have his two three pointers bookended by or they
bookended the Kyrie inbound violation thing, which, by the way, what what's
anyone bitching about on that? Yeah? I mean that in follows it was
a terrible call. Yeah, okay, I don't understand, And tell me
if I was very unclear. It looked like a JV team that didn't have
didn't have it figured out how to inbound. I mean Tim Hardaway was out
of bounds, inbounding the ball to a guy that was in bounds, who
then stepped out of bounds. I don't understand where the bitching is there.
And I didn't see enough replace because I was yeah, and they had so
much crap going on, they couldn't even really focus on it that much.
But I don't see anything at all. They they fed it up, right,
They messed it up bad because that was out of a time out,
right after a resount or a made shot, yes, exactly exactly, a
made shot and Tim got it, stepped out of bounds and threw it to
Kyrie, who thought he was gonna be the one taking it in bounds,
but he was in bounds. When he caught it, he stepped right out.
I just don't understand. They didn't show enough free plays on it.
You're right, and I was on watching it. Well, I was watching
it. I couldn't rewind. Same but me too. But they couldn't.
They couldn't, ye, because it was just an absolute frenzy for five straight
minutes. They didn't have time. Yeah, there's a lot of people like
universally on my timeline it was people griping about the inbound violation. But now
that you've said that, I'm like, yeah, maybe it was. I
don't maybe, And please text me what I'm not understanding. I need to
see it again too. You're right. Uh look, if if Struse is
if there one chance to win that game is a sixty foot jump shot or
running push shot from Struce, I'll take my chance, of course, every
time. If that's how you lose the game. They did everything that they
could to scratch their way back into that game, take a lead, and
then Struce went bananas. They still had the lead, they were up by
one with no basically no time on the clock, and this guy wings up
a fifty nine footer. I'll take it every single time. Because he's gonna
make that shot about maybe five to twelve percent of the time, maybe,
Yeah, and that's unguarded, right, And then there was the Garland had
it and Josh Green kind of tackles him and they don't call a foul there.
That should have been a foul on Josh Green clearly, which it's probably
two points on free throws for Garland, right, So like, yeah,
I didn't, I wasn't in the boat. Now, the Kyrie offensive foul
was like soft, but what like I definitely thought Josh Green get hit in
the corner too on that three pointer. Yeah, it seemed like the refs
were letting him play a little bit last night. There was a lot of
contact that I was surprised that didn't get called, But it seemed like they
were fairly consistent with not calling a lot of contact last night. And when
the MAVs needed it, they dat up on that inbounds, they got the
deflection, they got the ball, and Luca with a sick little pass and
PJ. Washington has what should be a game winner on the road against the
second best team of the Eastern Conference. Okay, like a great team that's
playing really well, and it takes a fifty nine footer with two seconds left
on the clock to beat you. Ah bad, dude, there's no shame
in losing that game last night, the way they lost. I don't think
so either. Man. They showed a lot. Should we cold call MAVs
NBA analyst Jeff skin Wade just ask him about the inbound violation. I think
he's awake. That's I think he's the beauty of it. JJ culskin he's
awake because I think his hair looks crazy right now. I think y'all said
it yesterday. It looks like he electrocuted himself. He's got electrocution hair.
He I don't know, maybe too cold for him to sit outside right now
on have coffee, but he's definitely got coffee in hand, and he's looking
at his phone, so he's going to see this immediately. Did you have
any problem because look, a guy hits a fifty nine foot shot whatever,
Okay, but three seconds left, maybe not? Just let him just inbound
it, like make it a little tough. Well that's what I do.
But I don't. I don't, I don't know, I don't know what
They're so happy. They just at the dim and on Slovenian Nights, Like,
I mean, I could say something, but there's three guys just rambling
incessantly, so I don't even know what I'm jumping into. Well, it's
a radio show. That's what we do, sir. Is this? Do
you have your permission permission to put you on the air? Am I being
pranked? No? No, we need your help talking hoops bro okay,
let's get Will you explain what if there is one? The argument is that
the REF screwed the mouths on that Kyrie inbound situation, because to me,
it looked like we just kind of screwed up the procedure. I thought it
was violation but against the Mavericks. In other words, Tim Hardaway Junior.
So it was on the replay because when it happened in real time, you
know, the camera cut away and then it cut back and I was like,
wait, what the hell just happened? And then when they reshowed it,
it looked to me that Tim took the ball out, turned around,
passed it to Kyrie, and Kyrie walked out of bounds. Now I should
also say that I from watching their stuff, it appears that there is some
open interpretation the REF can employ there, but I don't know that intimately,
and from my perspective, it looked like a violation. However, and I'm
also not guy that blames the rest or stuff. However, the refs are
on a really bad run. They're the opposite of Almens. They're on a
terrible run right now, and they probably had like, did you guys see
the Knicks game? They blonged Knix games in favor of the Knicks once against
the Knicks thought, I thought the Kyrie offensive foul call was mind blowing,
but I did not see the opposite angle. I thought the obvious foul on
Jared Allen in the words of bark Followell in front of God and everyone when
he two handed shoved Maxi Kleva and then instead an legal screw. I mean,
dude, there was four terribly blown calls, probably in the final three
minutes. Well, at least the referees are consistently terrible. You know,
they're terrible for both teams. Yes, the Josh Green, Josh Green,
I mean just absolutely yeah, killing Garland that one hip checked him. Yeah,
So, I mean I realized that's a super frustrating loss. They lost
a game on sixty foot shot. What do you want from me? I
mean incredible, right? He just you know, I don't know if you
guys saw Luca took blame for it. He said he was close as you
should have closed out. You never close out on a sixty foot shooter because
you don't want to foul them. Yeah. So anyways, tough loss.
Kick in the nuts. What are you doing right now? Where are you?
Exactly? Where are you? When I am sitting in a hot bass
and there are Greek goddesses fanning me, It's amazing, proms, What are
you really doing? I'm drinking coffee. Have a mug picture. I'm farting
while drinking coffee in a mug, and it's pictures of my kids when they
need to make a poopoo seven No, Danny drop. I don't need to
make a poo poo Danny drop. What time you wake up? It varies
today. My first kind of opening my eyes was six point thirty, and
then I went back to sleep, and then I got out of bed,
probably about six fifty. But what you guys need to understand is nobody in
my house will be up for the next like four hours. What I'm waking
my wife up right now? By talking this loud, She's going to be
furious with me. Your wife sleeps till like eleven, dog, Are you
serious? It's amazing. Can I come live with you with you? Yeah,
we gotta. We got a room. Okay, but but so Dad
is the only one it's up, and he's apparently sick right now, so
I think he's sleeping in So I mean, no one will get up until
tomorrow. It's unbelievable tomorrow. All right, what are you doing today?
Yeah, I've got an assortment of jars of mayonnaise and I'm going to work
over pretty good, okay, in the next three hours. What a day?
Hey man, we don't get edgy until after nine am. We'll take
that back. That's crazy. I'm always edging. We're having their kids to
school. Did you wake up horny? You did, didn't you? Man?
Every morning? Yeah, it's flowing wow, horny skin. But it
looks like tent city in your bedroom at six forty five. Come tell you
guys. Saying all this in front of JJ, I know, Oh she's
complicit. Talk about the horniest person up here. That's JJ shaking your head.
You know it's true. Yesterday, I listener ranked the dingiest people.
I want that same listener to text didn't rank the horniest people. I guarantee
you whoever ranked that person that list is also going to put me at the
top and they're going to listen me as four skin. Yeah, fifteen year
old, you know they didn't do that. Classic. Yeah you were,
you were ranked the dingiest. I don't disagree with that. I've said this
many times. If there is not a Maverick game, I will not shower.
And they're on a road trip. I haven't showered in a week.
Dude, good lord. Yeah, you should see him in the summer.
He's a mess. Take a selfie of yourself and post it for us,
because we want to put a visual what we're what we're talking to right now?
You got it? What else do you have for us? Jeff?
That sounds like a drop? Will be now? It will be now.
That sounds like a drop? It does. It was so assertive, so
confident, so bold. Do you have no time? Way feet just giving
you an opportunity to empty your bag? That also sounds like a drop.
What is happening right now? I'm going to go home, all right?
See it? See you Skin? Bye guys. Then it's gonna show some
turkey up here today. Okay, he's eating turkey most days. Some weird
food up here, microwave slices a turkey. Just eat that. That was
good of him to clear up the in down violation scenario. Yeah, yelled,
that was a bad was very invested in the game for sure. Coming
up next, if you things, I do want play audio? What happens
when a coach has to grab the microphone and speak to the crowd, And
well, this lady has set a record for the world's biggest What next?
