WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.839
This is a downbeat on ninety seven
to one the Freak. It's kind a

2
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:14.359
very fun Friday morning so far.
Golf Jeopardy today, dude, International Women's

3
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.359
Day. Yeah, it's been a
fun day. Yes, fun week.

4
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.399
I told you Monday, we're gonna
punt that football. We're gonna kick this

5
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.039
week right in the ball. So
what do we do? Punted it?

6
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:30.079
Yeah? And our week. Let's
be honest, great guy, Our weekends

7
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:35.880
at ten o'clock am on Wednesday,
and then we mail in Thursday and Friday.

8
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.679
But we didn't do that this week. Why did we keep to show

9
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.759
up and be good? We intended
to Thursday and Friday's let's dial it back

10
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.359
next week. Okay, who are
some of your favorite international women? I

11
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.679
want you first of all. I
got a lot of answers for you there.

12
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:55.320
But address him. He's being a
problem. Yeah, dial it back

13
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.000
next week. Next week. You're
already loaded. We're cranking it up next

14
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.679
week. We're just talking to out
on Thursday and Friday. Certain some other

15
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.519
people are off next week. Oh
it doesn't matter. You could put a

16
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.760
hamster and a bicycle on microphones over
there and people will listen because it has

17
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:19.079
the logo brand loyalist. That is
true, but we're gonna kill it next

18
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.760
week. We are very condensed and
loaded entertainment. Next week question, just

19
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:29.000
considering, let's make next week you're
our big tryout. I'll say that we

20
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.959
didn't order as many as we normally
do, but we did order a few

21
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.200
because we're very seasonal. We'll see
the singing pot of gold if there's interest

22
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.079
from the consumer. Because they've given
us until Saturday, we can cut it

23
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.879
off. A singing pot of gold
or is it a singing shamrock? Is

24
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:52.400
it a singing leprechaun, singing rainbow? Little pot of gold? We'll figure

25
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:56.519
it out. They're singing four leaf
clover, Okay, a singing box of

26
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.359
lucky charms. We'll figure it out. If the consumer is interested, we'll

27
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:00.120
do it. If they're not,
they don't want us to do it,

28
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.280
we won't singing Guinness a singing green
shirt at the corner of your closet that

29
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.639
you only wear once a year.
That's so true. Who has a green

30
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:17.879
shirt all together? The green shirt
with a zinger? Yeah? Should we

31
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:21.719
just have? Oh? Maybe we
should do t shirt sales and we sell

32
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:27.520
t shirts with new zingers for Saint
Patti today, but then we don't sing,

33
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.680
all right, I don't care.
All right, I'm either okay,

34
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.080
let's before we talk MAVs and little
Oscar stuff, because Sunday that's the Oscars

35
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.439
Daylight Savings time too. That's right. Don't forget an hour Sunday morning.

36
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:43.479
Don't forget it's going to be real
dark all morning come Monday. Ben Rogers

37
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:51.039
returned from vacation in Mexico. We
played earlier in the week him cuss cursing

38
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.599
on the air, but he had
a little bit of a stomach issue and

39
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.280
uh, here's what happened live on
the Ben and Skin Show a little bit

40
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.120
earlier in the week. Yeah,
so it's this is a very dangerous situation.

41
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.639
Do you want me to sit a
text and see if Maddie can come

42
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.000
in and fill in for you for
the final two hours of the show.

43
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:13.319
Don't make me laugh. I'm telling
you I'm full clench right now. In

44
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.759
fact, I'm just gonna go to
the restroom. Seriously. Yeah, Steve

45
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:23.159
locked that door. He locked the
door. Ben has butter all over his

46
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.719
thumbs and can't unlock the door.
Steve is standing in front of the door.

47
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.719
Dude, you need to go kick
Steve's that's like get him out of

48
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:35.520
the way, like placing a diet
coke can in my path. Oh no,

49
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.719
I'm trapped in here. That diet
coke cans in the way, dude,

50
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:43.400
So seriously, are you gonna go
poop? I probably could go poop.

51
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.080
Steve follow him in there with this. We want to get this social

52
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.039
Yeah, we do need more social
media. It's turning into a Mount Saint

53
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.840
Helen's situation Toda, yeah, yeah, yeah, where you are all in

54
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.000
danger. This feels a little more
Mount Vesuvius. If you ask me,

55
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:00.680
Christina, what do you think.
I'm just so glad I'm in here right

56
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:05.840
now. Well, different room from
you, guys. I'm telling you there's

57
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:10.879
no uh you know, it's not
like when you call the fire department.

58
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.240
There's been no gas leak. All
right, you have nothing to worry about

59
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.720
in that regard. But if you
make me laugh too much, it could

60
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.360
be bad. Are you saying that
so we can't sue you? It's a

61
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:26.279
fourth worst hotel. But yeah,
well, uh, tune in for the

62
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.920
final two hours of the show.
We'll ben and spray the windows. Oh

63
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.959
he just got it. Oh he's
look at how he's walking. I've never

64
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:36.160
seen him lean forward so hard.
I think that's because his ass is clinched

65
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:46.600
though, huh, man have to
do that's terrible. Steve's not very confident.

66
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:55.199
Joke of fort Worth Hotel, but
it was funny. Oh my god,

67
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:02.279
that the hotel. But I don't
know, jeez, Benskin show ten

68
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:09.920
to two, that's what you're missing. It's like there's a pause and Ben

69
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.839
says, Christina, what do you
think? Like, I don't know,

70
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.879
just I have no thoughts on it. Don't bring me into this. Continue.

71
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.439
They are an open book. They
are from Tending to Hell from two

72
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.879
to six. They're an open book
as well. Two football nuggets before we

73
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.680
get to MAVs real quick. Uh, The Cows are reworking Zach Martin's contract

74
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.399
to create money. Did he knew
that was gonna happen? Russell Wilson is

75
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.839
meeting with the Steelers. And you
called this the other day, did Mike?

76
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:43.240
Mike so football smart? Yeah,
people don't think of that when they

77
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.839
think of me. Wilson's better than
Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, the other

78
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.279
garbage they're running out there. MAVs
might have saved their season last night,

79
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:56.360
and it did not start off good. It was really bad early and I

80
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.560
was really nervous early. But they
end up getting the win the heat one

81
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.399
fourteen one eight, and they needed
it so bad. Yeah, yeah,

82
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:10.079
they did what they get down by
They were down double dishes, down fifteen

83
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.759
fifteen, so there was like a
twenty five point swing at one point when

84
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.480
they took the lead. Yeah,
I don't know. I mean they the

85
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.720
offense saves them again, because the
defense did look poor for most of that,

86
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.240
but then they were okay in the
second half. One thing that was

87
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.959
funny. I was listening to the
Reggie in the national broadcast, you know,

88
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.879
and the defense was bad in the
first half, and they talked to

89
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.360
it whatever. The girl talked to
one of the mass coach. He said,

90
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.079
we can't let Duncan Robinson have these
open threes, like that's the key,

91
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.040
And like while the sentence was happening, they kick it to Duncan Robinson

92
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.639
who shoots a wide open three.
I think it was the first possession,

93
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.839
and it's like, that is what
you just talked about, Right in the

94
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.360
first possession, he's shooting an open
three, like his fifth Yeah, his

95
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.519
fifth made three. He Regie was
like, that's now what they just talked

96
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.759
about. That's the very first play. And this sort of hit me more

97
00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.199
when they were losing. When they
won, it's less applicable because you don't

98
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.120
really talk about it right now.
But like, let's say they were a

99
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.040
terrible offensive team, right they just
don't score much, they don't make baskets,

100
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.560
they don't shoot well, and what
would we just be yelling, come

101
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:14.279
on, be a better shooter.
Maybe maybe, but we don't do that

102
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.079
that much. Please shoot better?
Like maybe they're just not that good defensively.

103
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:21.360
Sometimes they can go full throttle and
max energy and look good for a

104
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:26.839
quarter or a few series, but
I mean, Luka and Kyrie are the

105
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.480
lynchpins of this team, and it's
like they're just not outstanding defenders across the

106
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.360
board. So all we do is
keep yelling, come on, try harder,

107
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.199
play better defense. If it was
offense, you could yell at at

108
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.160
all day, it won't just make
it happen. That's why I really think

109
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.680
when they shifted to We're Gonna run. Remember Jason Kid's first year here,

110
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.680
it was slow down yeah, like
and they went to the Western Conference finals

111
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.040
that year, but turned into run. I think that was almost an admission

112
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.439
of we're not going to be a
very good defensive team. Right, stop

113
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:58.560
and outscore you. Right, And
Dante Exim might have saved the game for

114
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.639
him last night. And he does
play much, and he can't play much.

115
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.759
He's on a minite restriction and playing
him too much in the first part

116
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.199
of the season might be why.
Yet he was hurt for the last couple

117
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:09.879
weeks, so you have to deal
with that. But he was huge last

118
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.399
night, knocking down a huge three, making a couple of smart basketball plays.

119
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.519
Gafford was great last night. Luke
and Kyrie were wonderful again. I

120
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:24.519
mean, it's never it's never on
them. It's just not. I'm sorry,

121
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.120
it's easy to look at them,
it's not. The questions about the

122
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.839
coach are fair in my opinion.
The way that game started, it was

123
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.679
funny how it. I was surprised, like how did they win that game?

124
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.159
And then you look at the box
scores like, oh, okay,

125
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.360
Luca did what Luca does and Kyrie, like you said, is always great.

126
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:48.399
But yeah, defenses, I think
that is such a really well constructed

127
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:54.679
point because that Mikey just made that. If you see a team that isn't

128
00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:00.639
particularly good offensively, you don't scream
at your TV try harder on offense.

129
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.440
You start saying we need to get
better players that are good at offense.

130
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:09.120
But if it's defense, you don't
say we need better players that are good

131
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.480
at defense. You just scream at
the TV and say, well, they're

132
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.159
not given. This is Jason Kidds's
fault. They're not prepared enough, they're

133
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.639
not energetic enough on defense. And
I brought this up to you guys off

134
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.559
the year earlier. Reggie Miller made
an interesting point, and I'm sure it's

135
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:26.039
not a unique thought, but I
hadn't thought about it. Is that he

136
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.279
broke down one offensive possession that was
pretty much Luca with the ball the whole

137
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.240
time, which happens a lot because
they play a lot of isolation basketball with

138
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.440
him and Kyrie, especially when they're
on the court together. It was Luca

139
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:45.960
handling the ball and navigating his way
within about fifteen seconds from bringing the ball

140
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.600
all the way up the court,
being beyond the three point line, dribbling

141
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.559
around, carrying a dude on his
hip all the way. You know how

142
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.120
he does that kind of ropid ope
thing where he gets into the lane,

143
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.919
makes a couple of moves, spins
around, makes another move, and then

144
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.679
has to do a fade away max
effort jump shot over a dude with another

145
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.080
dude hanging on him, and it
probably should have been called a foul.

146
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.919
After all of that effort get you
expect him to race down court and then

147
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.919
put that same effort on defense,
which he already doesn't have a great defensive

148
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:22.759
skill set. You're gonna combine with
the minutes that the guy is already playing.

149
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.399
You're going to kill him if you
expect him to max effort on defense

150
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.519
every every night, Like what would
you be willing to trade offensively for a

151
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:37.320
ten percent increase in defense? And
it might be worth it considering offensively because

152
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.720
you have Kyrie, Yeah, because
you have Kyrie. Earlier, when Kyrie

153
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.799
was gone, you couldn't write.
But yeah, maybe he has got it.

154
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.960
He's gotten better at longer, longer
passes, you know, finding the

155
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.399
open man way down court without having
to just to bring the ball. If

156
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.399
we've seen him do that a lot. I mean he assists. Is that

157
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.679
guy had this year where he's made
assists that are like fifty foot passes quite

158
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.080
a few mm hm, So that's
been a difference in his game. But

159
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.159
yeah, man, I don't know
what more you can ask of him.

160
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.320
I really don't. And when he
does play defense, when he seems like

161
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.960
he's got a little energy, he's
not a He's not a liability when he's

162
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.879
into it. No, and he's
got the energy for it. Like we

163
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.799
always say, I mean, he
top ten and steals top ten in defensive

164
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.159
rebounds, like there are parts defensively
statistically he fills up too, absolutely top

165
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.759
ten in the NBA for defensive rebounds. That he's weird for a dude who

166
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.200
plays his position, and he's not
going to be a liability on defense basically

167
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.000
just because I mean he's six'
eight. You know, he's a tall

168
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.399
dude. But people do go right
past him. They do. Are they

169
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.080
trying as hard as they can?
Are they conditioned enough? Those are all

170
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.360
fair questions. But if we all
are already predisposed to think we might need

171
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.919
to get rid of Jason Kidd,
and then Luca gets blown by, and

172
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.200
then the defense kind of looks like
it sucks, and we're already like,

173
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.840
see, they don't care, they
don't care because they don't respect kid.

174
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.679
And then in your head you can
kind of twist into what might not actually

175
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:00.559
be the truth. I don't know
now if they don't make the playoffs or

176
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:01.759
if they go one and done.
I think Jason Kid is instantly fired.

177
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.720
But what, there's eighteen ninety eighteen
nineteen games left this season. Little firing

178
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.720
him this week makes zero sense.
And that's just radio radio yelling do you

179
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:13.679
have skin with Tyrone? I'd love
to hear this in ninety second, Joe

180
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.320
want it. Yeah, this was
a really important game for you guys.

181
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.320
What did it take? Oh my
gosh, it took a lot of discipline.

182
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.559
There's a lot of perseverance and uh, just being locked into the game

183
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.639
played for forty eight minutes. It's
crazy to think that we've been a worst

184
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.799
team defensively in the league since All
Star Breaking. We got to take that

185
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.519
accountability on ourselves. And our effort
from the start of the game into the

186
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.519
end game has not been great.
So we got to throw away all those

187
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.279
negatives in truly stopped that. Our
effort for the start of the game in

188
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.960
the end of the game has not
been you. Yeah, and what I

189
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.440
just said might be false, Like
it might be that Kid is lax on

190
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.960
them, and Kid does not inspire
them to give it their all and maybe

191
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.240
they do have something left in the
tank that they could expand on the defensive

192
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.799
side of the of the of the
floor. And it seems like it does

193
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.480
happen sometimes, like it can't be
done, be true. And he said

194
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.320
if he says it, and he
said that basically after watching tonight's game,

195
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.720
it's hard to believe that we were
we've been the worst defensive team in the

196
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.399
NBA since the All Star break,
because we clearly can do it. We

197
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.440
just have to do it for forty
eight minutes. Okay, that seems like

198
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.960
a pretty obvious thing to me.
Why aren't you? And it could easily

199
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.720
go to it's so easy to go
to, well Jason can if he's been

200
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.480
easy on them, he's been easy
on them to keep Luca happy. It's

201
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:31.080
just easy to jump to that Lily
bad when it's true or not. And

202
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.360
I hate that. I hate that
concept that or the thought that this this

203
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:41.600
organization, the organization treat Luca as
the eggshells on the floor. You know,

204
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.120
they're just walking on eggshells with everything
with that guy, I don't know

205
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.039
if I even believe that. No, it's easy to say, oh,

206
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.879
we don't want to miss off Luca. He's gonna leave that the constant.

207
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.120
I don't know if they I don't
know if that organization that they live with,

208
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.919
that that fear in the back of
their mind that is motivating everything they

209
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.519
do is to coddle this young man. I don't know if I believe.

210
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.480
I think it's more the fear of
wasting his prime. Yeah, you know

211
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.200
which, you're coming up, probably, So we gotta throw away all those

212
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.399
negatives and continue to positively reinforce all
the good habits that we have built for

213
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.120
most part of season. So we
know we're in the deep part of the

214
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.080
season right now, getting ready for
the playoff, So we gotta do the

215
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.639
little things to get us over as
hemp, you've won a championship, You've

216
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.039
been on some teams that didn't do
what you wanted to do, had some

217
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.480
long, tough runs. What do
you see with this roster, this group

218
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.159
of guys of what you guys need
to do in the final nine team.

219
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.320
We're learning how to battle the adversity
with each other right now, and that

220
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.879
takes time sometimes throughout the process.
Going look ugly, he's not gonna look

221
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.440
pretty, And I think tonight was
one of those nights, and the other

222
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.360
few nights have been some of those
nice two. Even on the road,

223
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.039
we've been down four, down six, cut the lead from fifteen, and

224
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:48.360
we just haven't been able to get
about Hume tonight. I feel like there's

225
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:52.440
a good testament of our character.
Do you guys have the right kind of

226
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.440
connectiveness and energy that it takes?
Absolutely? Absolutely, I believe this tea

227
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.879
one undred percent. That's never gonna
change. All right. I want to

228
00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:03.440
congratulate you too. Last night the
kaiw's the big ant event down in Deep

229
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.799
Elum over at Sneaker Politics are really
nice event. Congratulations, Hi you brother.

230
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.039
I appreciate that man set out to
Dallas. Call of love man,

231
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.159
real talk, that's love. He's
awesome, He's love and he's pretty great.

232
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.440
You see. I heard this number
that and this is another thing to

233
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.960
appreciate right now that Kyrie I think
has played fourteen straight games, and they

234
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.159
said the national broadcast that's his longest
streak of consecutive starts since twenty nineteen,

235
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.200
six years. I think they said
eighteen eighteen. I think so either way

236
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.639
five or six years. Fourteen the
most consecutive games he's played in half a

237
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:45.799
decade is fourteen games, Like if
you hold actuary tables, who will be

238
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.399
missing games soon in the stretch towards
the end. Now, let's hope he

239
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:54.840
does not miss a minute. Yeah, but realistically that's a long timetable,

240
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.320
you know, to clean your information
from. But I love that he's happy

241
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:02.960
and playing. He is right though, about how many games have they had

242
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.559
where they've been down big and get
to within four or five six and it's

243
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.720
just not they don't have that extras? What'd you tell me? I'm sorry,

244
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.360
I just I was wondering if it
has to do with you know,

245
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.519
we kind of have that honeymoon period
with bringing the new guys in and they

246
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:23.240
went on that wonderful streak after the
trade, and now it's like the things

247
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:30.039
are kind of settled in and you've
had an incredibly tough schedule up to up

248
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.679
to last night, and it is
about learning to play together, and it's

249
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.960
learning about what these guys that you
didn't start training camp with, what they're

250
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.039
made of, and how to work
together. So there's a bit of a

251
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.000
learning curve. So I don't think
it's, you know, time to drop

252
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:49.279
the lifeboats or anything like that.
And last night was a great opportunity for

253
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:52.639
them to write the ship. You
know what I think will matter more than

254
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.159
anything I like and if assuming we
make the playoffs. Now at this point

255
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.960
you're right by the two games out
of the six. But Tim Hardaway Junior,

256
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:06.400
Maxie, I'm gonna throw in Dante
exhim in case he stays healthy.

257
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.759
And PJ. Washington knocking down open
shots. It was when Luke and Kyrie

258
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.279
are getting the you know, the
attention that they get. Those guys are

259
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.640
gonna get their looks. Dude.
Even last night there was three threes at

260
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.599
least that were great looks, rattled
in and out inches millimeters from going in.

261
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:27.160
There was also three dunks that didn't
go in. Eric Jones, Eric

262
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:32.680
Jones almost murdered someone last television,
and I think ExHAM had one. Yep,

263
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:36.000
he did. There was three dunks
that are that go in. Yeah,

264
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:40.519
I mean that's what fifteen points right
there. I mean, you know

265
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.279
they're not all going to go,
but it's millimeters man, right and then

266
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:45.519
suddenly, oh my god, MAVs
killed him. We're great. I don't

267
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.640
know if it was the same on
the the Bally's broadcast, but on T

268
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:55.400
and T did it sound like the
MAVs Rims were like extra mic last night

269
00:17:55.480 --> 00:18:02.559
to sound triple triple Rattley. I've
noticed their almost like any other like they

270
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:06.799
have. It's very loud, even
on the MAVs podcast. I've noticed that.

271
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:08.359
But yeah, I hear it.
I mean, I don't. It's

272
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.039
just a lot of other NBA games
that aren't the MAVs. My point is

273
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:18.359
the clanged dunks and bricked threes just
sounds so much worse on you hear guy

274
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:25.680
go oh no. When Hardaway got
hit in the head, they showed that.

275
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:29.160
They showed the full speed replay,
and you hear him clearly when he

276
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:30.519
gets hit in the head going up
for the layout. He goes ow,

277
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:36.039
he said out, all right,
how about this. I think Lucas should

278
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.839
not be shooting his first free throw
at six six point fifty one left in

279
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.920
the third quarter. Yeah, I
don't care, he's leading, he's what

280
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.720
second in the league in free throw
attempts. Dude, never should be in

281
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:51.079
halfway through the third quarter when he's
shooting his first free throw of the game.

282
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.240
That's him. I think if you
stop bitching at him just a little

283
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:57.400
bit, they'll start calling it a
little more. And it's I do believe

284
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:00.880
you don't think that that stat in
the gates. Luca's bitching a little bit

285
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.039
that you were damn near leading the
league and free throw attempt he said.

286
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.000
He held his arms up to this
guy and said, I got it.

287
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:12.000
I finally got a call. Yayven
read his lips. It's just smart.

288
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:17.640
It's so good. Imagine how good
the mouths are going to be when Alex

289
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:21.039
Fudge gets some plate through. Yes, they signed Fudge. It's on.

290
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:25.359
I got the email few days ago
I have signed Alex Fudge. We all

291
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.200
went huh. I was like click, yeah, of course, but more

292
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.400
about this guy. Okay, let's
learn a little more about the oscars on

293
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:36.640
Sunday. Take a look at you
know, the big main categories. You

294
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:38.720
didn't do birthdays yet me get your
talkbacks from the red microphone button on the

295
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:42.680
iHeartRadio app. We'll close out the
week strong with the super segment next to

296
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:44.720
ninety seven won the free
