Speaker 1: The week is blown by. Let me tell you what
Speaker 1: we have. And a lot of people don't know this. Well,
Speaker 1: you don't because you're wrong with us yesterday. But we're
Speaker 1: gonna have the one and only Dwayne Casey calling in
Speaker 1: the day about seven forty.
Speaker 4: Five, and we're gonna talk to him a lot.
Speaker 1: About about yes NBA Draft, not much about the NBA Draft.
Speaker 1: This is the only issue you will He works for
Speaker 1: the front office for the Pistons, so there are only
Speaker 1: certain things that I can ask. We can talk about
Speaker 1: the playoff games, George, and there are a few questions
Speaker 1: he's given me that I can ask him about the draft,
Speaker 1: but he cannot since he works for the giveaway information
Speaker 1: that I'd like for him to give away, George, as
Speaker 1: we both know. But anyway, we've got Dwayne as at
Speaker 1: the back end of the show, so we do need
Speaker 1: to get into this, George. Now we've got to start.
Speaker 1: We're throwing at trade, Anthony. George. We've got big baseball games,
Speaker 1: big baseball games at high school and college. So Anthony,
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with you. Let everybody know what's transpiring
Speaker 1: in high school in college baseball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, obviously we also know we always know
Speaker 3: the college segment, there's tons of games going on. There's
Speaker 3: gonna be a couple of tonight, a couple Saturday as well.
Speaker 3: For that college side. Obviously playing out in Omaha. Louisville
Speaker 3: does play the night at seven pm with the host
Speaker 3: in Oregon State and in Arizonia and Coastal Carolina will
Speaker 3: be kicking off the day at two pm as well.
Speaker 3: The Saturday games, we'll be having Murray State take on
Speaker 3: UCLA at two o'clock Eastern time, and then we'll also
Speaker 3: have LSU versus Arkansas at seven o'clock as well. For
Speaker 3: those college games that we have coming up today and tomorrow,
Speaker 3: those are big ones going on. So we got two
Speaker 3: Kentucky teams supporting seven representing twenty five percent. Oh that
Speaker 3: great George for you astanding?
Speaker 1: How fam isn't that great George Murray and University of
Speaker 1: Louisville right?
Speaker 4: I think he brought up a point.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read this to you all. Andy brought this
Speaker 1: up yesterday, and what a point. Listen to this, u all.
Speaker 1: His name's Dan Skirker. He is the coach the Racers play. Well,
Speaker 1: let me just give you the whole thing. During the
Speaker 1: twenty three to twenty four academic year. According to the
Speaker 1: information gathered by USA Today in conjunction with the partnership
Speaker 1: with the Knights Town College Athletic Database, that Murry spent
Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty eight thousand, one hundred and six
Speaker 1: dollars on their entire baseball program. Let me say this
Speaker 1: to you again. Eight hundred and fifty eight thousand, one
Speaker 1: hundred and six dollars George, entire program, George. The Racers
Speaker 1: play in the stadium with a maximum capacity of eight hundred.
Speaker 1: Head coach Dan Skirka cuts the grass, and Johnny reaganfield himself,
Speaker 1: George himself. Now, when we're talking about the real college experience,
Speaker 1: this is it. This is the real college experience right there, George.
Speaker 1: It doesn't say what his salary is, but guys, his
Speaker 1: entire budget is eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars. So
Speaker 1: I want everybody to understand here when everybody gets on
Speaker 1: me about a little criticism on coach McDonald, great job
Speaker 1: all of the World Series, I think six for Louisville,
Speaker 1: but he makes twice as much as Murray State's entire budget.
Speaker 1: Just want people to understand it's always not about the money. George,
Speaker 1: we always say it's always about the money. Antony brought
Speaker 1: that up yesterday. Here it is front page, front page
Speaker 1: of the paper. Guys crempe, Jared, I think that's the
Speaker 1: story of it all. Our Murray State reached College World
Speaker 1: Series entire budgets eight hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars. So, George,
Speaker 1: what do you think?
Speaker 4: Oh, well, Jered, I just think he has a love
Speaker 4: for the game, a passion for the game. And as
Speaker 4: we know today that most of the time that that
Speaker 4: kind of budget won't get you any word because you
Speaker 4: can't get the big teams to play you because they
Speaker 4: scharedule upset you, and the small team they can't really
Speaker 4: travel that far because they budget won't allow it. But
Speaker 4: I think it's fantastic in the time and this day
Speaker 4: and time, when we're talking about how we play in
Speaker 4: il players and coaches all this amount of money, it's
Speaker 4: refreshing to see that the coach loves what he does
Speaker 4: because he loves it for the love of the game.
Speaker 4: And then also, Jered, where he lives, he can afford
Speaker 4: to live pretty good on a four or five hundred
Speaker 4: thousand dollars Sorry, so you know, I just think it's
Speaker 4: so amazing and how much these coaches want. And what
Speaker 4: amazes me is we act like they are so outstanding,
Speaker 4: but if they don't get the town, the players, they're
Speaker 4: no better than anybody else.
Speaker 1: And this guy, you and George don four or five.
Speaker 1: I bet you, I bet you he makes one fifty
Speaker 1: George Mix. Listen to this. Murray State will face UCLA
Speaker 1: with a baseball budget of four point one nine million
Speaker 1: in game one. LSU has a budget of nine point
Speaker 1: nine million, third largest budget in Division one Arkansas nine
Speaker 1: point one six million, fifth largest, George, some of the
Speaker 1: teams that Murray State's competing against with an eight hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty eight thousand dollars budget. So congratulations.
Speaker 4: Truly, I really.
Speaker 1: Want Murray State to win at George, I really do.
Speaker 1: And that was a great point, Anthony, that you brought
Speaker 1: up yesterday, and here it is in today's paper. Antony
Speaker 1: brought it up yesterday that he cut his own grand George,
Speaker 1: You've got a lot more out George. Cut the infield,
Speaker 1: y outfield. George.
Speaker 4: We did live so long with Okay, no they don't
Speaker 4: go finish. I got a couple of I said, we
Speaker 4: have lived for long. We remember when a lot of
Speaker 4: coaches would take that avenue, you know, Jay, and have
Speaker 4: the players out there working with him.
Speaker 1: George. I told him yesterday when Anthony brought this up.
Speaker 1: That at Herring University in nineteen ninety and of course
Speaker 1: you know I was called everything. I was janitor, manager,
Speaker 1: travel coordinator, assistant coach, recruiting coordinator. George. People have no
Speaker 1: idea when you take lower level jobs, you do everything.
Speaker 1: After every game, every game, George, Coach Beard and I stayed,
Speaker 1: swept the stadium, steps, got we were the janitors, got
Speaker 1: all the pop coronarts, swept the floor before we left. George.
Speaker 1: That's college. That's why I tell people I don't like
Speaker 1: complaining from college coaches. I don't. I'm gonna bring coach
Speaker 1: of Beard on next week and have him tell you
Speaker 1: that's that's college.
Speaker 4: You know what you you missed out though, Jered that
Speaker 4: I think that makes make college so so fantastic. Fair back,
Speaker 4: you lived in the dawn with the other students. You
Speaker 4: got to know who your classmates was. You could walk
Speaker 4: around class campus and a lot of people that you
Speaker 4: got to meet and got to know. You know them
Speaker 4: longer than you know your teammates, and you still got
Speaker 4: relationships with them. You know, I think they're missing that
Speaker 4: interaction with their fellow students on the campus. You know,
Speaker 4: I don't believe that you're that big that all your
Speaker 4: college students will lose their man if you walk around campus,
Speaker 4: you know, without security. You know, I mean, I just
Speaker 4: hate being doing where they got to go, stay in
Speaker 4: and away from the students, get to know them.
Speaker 1: Yep, Wildcat Lodge, Danny Crumb Hall, everyone has them now,
Speaker 1: George Carmous.
Speaker 4: But think about your relationship when you come out of
Speaker 4: Miller Hall, George. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You know in your practice now you say you missed
Speaker 1: this point. People can come to our official practice, George,
Speaker 1: as long as they an't make any noise. They watched
Speaker 1: our practice, the real practice, George, George, not summertime. The
Speaker 1: real practice practice was open. Things have changed. Let's get
Speaker 1: to our first call. Great point though yesterday with that
Speaker 1: anything because it's in the front page of the Cure today,
Speaker 1: wait to beat the paper, the sports radio.
Speaker 4: Are you I'm laying my man? All right? Hey, good
Speaker 4: morning gentlemen. Uh I hope Anthony's doing good.
Speaker 5: Rick behind the glass doing great, Jerry Uh, well, I'm
Speaker 5: not gonna say. And then the main man, George, it
Speaker 5: is a delight. But Jerry had called about the Murray
Speaker 5: Sade deal that this is just unbelievable.
Speaker 4: You know, the equivalent of.
Speaker 5: Them making this world Ferry Jerry is Bellerman making the
Speaker 5: final four.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm and great analogy.
Speaker 5: Yes, that that is exactly what you're watching. Do you
Speaker 5: know this coach makes less than one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 5: a year?
Speaker 1: I knew he did. I knew he did. His total
Speaker 1: budgets eight hundred and fifty thousand, travel, assistant coaches, Jersey's uniform,
Speaker 1: food insurance, the whole nine yards without it.
Speaker 5: You know, you know we have we have a we
Speaker 5: have assistant coaches at U of L combined that make
Speaker 5: more money in that program takes in. Or that Murray
Speaker 5: State is worse or whatever.
Speaker 2: The year.
Speaker 1: Oh no, all of it, I guess, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: all these schools are. Yes.
Speaker 4: I agree there not because letting now, but think about this.
Speaker 4: Do we think he'll be still making that thing Storary
Speaker 4: next year? Will he be at Maury State?
Speaker 5: No, no, sir, He'll be at another school next year. George.
Speaker 4: After this, I kind of knew that, but I wanted
Speaker 4: y'all to see it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, he will not be at Murray State next year, but.
Speaker 5: In his back pocket, it's amazing, you know, congratulations to
Speaker 5: them and U of L and the other teams had
Speaker 5: made it out there, because that's very hard to do.
Speaker 5: But uh, you know, coach McDonald has been squawking for
Speaker 5: a while over there about things, and boy, it's hard
Speaker 5: to uh, it's hard to hear that when you've been
Speaker 5: losing three to four million dollars a year on your
Speaker 5: baseball team over there. And if the school would come
Speaker 5: claim Jerry and George and Anthony and post that, put
Speaker 5: that out to the Courier Journal like Murray State did,
Speaker 5: you will see where they're losing three to four million
Speaker 5: dollars every single year over there on baseball.
Speaker 1: That's a fact on the lot. No, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: just a fact. But both teams planning wish them both success.
Speaker 1: But the story is Murray's State. That's the story. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six thousand dollars is this. I'll they
Speaker 1: win it, Drew. Yes, George dan Skirtt will not be
Speaker 1: there next year. He will not. He will move forward.
Speaker 1: But the experience that he's gained from this level. That's
Speaker 1: the only thing I tell people when guys get high
Speaker 1: level assistant jobs, they have no idea what it really
Speaker 1: is to coach clean stadiums, George wassh jerseys, all the
Speaker 1: things that you have to do that you don't touch it. Believe,
Speaker 1: the things I did at Louisville when I was coach
Speaker 1: Crumbs assistant was absolutely not the same as what I
Speaker 1: did at Howard University for Coach Pear, completely different. You
Speaker 1: have to learn the nuts and boats. So guys, we're
Speaker 1: at seven twenty one. We got to get the breakers.
Speaker 1: We've got d Dwayne Casey.
Speaker 4: Later on we get that thing to get Thanks BLA,
Speaker 4: have a great wee get blinded.
Speaker 1: Great job, Anthony. When we come back, of course, Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown's back in the news, we'll talk to you in
Speaker 1: a minute. Welcome back to EVE Sports Radio. June thirteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. It's Friday. Yes, it is a seven
Speaker 1: twenty four. If you need to be able to work
Speaker 1: at eight, you need to start moving toward the job,
Speaker 1: which means be in your car community now. Welcome back,
Speaker 1: George Williams. Anthony. Eve's on the line. With the guys
Speaker 1: who've got another caller and we're gonna take him, but
Speaker 1: really quickly. George, have you heard about the news about
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown attempted murder?
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 1: Give me your opinion if if you have one, you
Speaker 1: may not. If you do give it to me, I'll
Speaker 1: get you an anthony. We'll go from there. I'll give
Speaker 1: your mind.
Speaker 4: Well, well, Jerry, we've seen this building up for a
Speaker 4: long time, you know what I mean, And I always
Speaker 4: call it superstar syndrome. You know, we've given these young men,
Speaker 4: uh put them on a pedestal since they've been a
Speaker 4: young age, told them what they can do. They're untouchable,
Speaker 4: and a lot of these young men believe that. You know,
Speaker 4: we've seen that Antine Brown has had emotional problems ever
Speaker 4: since you have Pittsburgh. I mean, you know, with all
Speaker 4: the opportunities you get like that, and you still can't
Speaker 4: adjust to for people, and you always think it's the
Speaker 4: other guy. You know, that's psychological. Jerry, and I think
Speaker 4: he really has a lot he's going on with him.
Speaker 4: And I think that people could have wrap their arms
Speaker 4: around him a long time ago and had some evaluations done,
Speaker 4: but seemed like he didn't want to get it done.
Speaker 4: Now did the people around him want to get it done?
Speaker 4: They just wanted to see how good an athletely good,
Speaker 4: how fast he could run, and how good he could
Speaker 4: catch that ball and everything else, or just take care
Speaker 4: of himself. And we've seen how it just spiraled out
Speaker 4: of hand. And that's when I think about it.
Speaker 1: Where'd you think Anthony had multiple issues in Antonio Brown?
Speaker 6: Yeah, we don't know what we don't We don't know
Speaker 6: what's going on upstairs with Antonio Brown.
Speaker 3: He's kind of been a messing off the walls probably
Speaker 3: over the last six or seven years. I think it's
Speaker 3: just slowly and drastically just kind of getting worse and
Speaker 3: worse by the month. You know, I hate to say
Speaker 3: it because he was an incredible football player, but I
Speaker 3: think he needs some real psychological help because I just
Speaker 3: don't think everything's clicking up there. I don't know the
Speaker 3: people he's surrounding himself with or I'm saying them seriously,
Speaker 3: I don't know who the people he surround himself with
Speaker 3: or is just letting them do these things without any
Speaker 3: like repercussions or consequences really just kind of does it
Speaker 3: and it kind of happens, and they kind of sweeping
Speaker 3: on the rug and he does something else, and it's
Speaker 3: just a reoccurring event, and it's getting to the point
Speaker 3: to where now it's it's he's in a situation where
Speaker 3: this one can't get swept.
Speaker 4: Under the rug.
Speaker 3: Now you're putting yourself in a real situation where your
Speaker 3: life is about to change drastically. Attempted murder regards what
Speaker 3: the case is. Even if you put on probation, community.
Speaker 1: Service, jail time.
Speaker 3: Who knows it's something that will mentally change you as
Speaker 3: a person. It changes anyone. Anyone who's ever been in that.
Speaker 6: Situation before knows that your heart falls out of your
Speaker 6: body when you hear news like that, or you're getting
Speaker 6: phone calls or people are out looking for you and
Speaker 6: you know you're running around driving in your car and
Speaker 6: you get an ESPN alert that the police are looking
Speaker 6: for you.
Speaker 1: Always, well, guys, we always try to get both sides.
Speaker 1: I'm going to read to you from his ex account.
Speaker 1: I agree with you all. I was jumped by multi individuals, George.
Speaker 1: That goes back to you. He's always jumped who tried
Speaker 1: to steal my jewelry? Second thing, Antonio, you haven't worked
Speaker 1: for three years and you're in financial trouble. He is,
Speaker 1: you need to sell your jewelry, Anthony. You're correct. People
Speaker 1: around him need to tell him you need to have
Speaker 1: sold that a long time ago, young man. But again,
Speaker 1: George anton these things don't seem to sink in and
Speaker 1: cause physical harm to me, he wrote in his ex account.
Speaker 1: Contrary to some videos circulating, police temporarily detained me until
Speaker 1: they received my side of the story, then released me.
Speaker 1: I went home that night and was not arrested. Hold
Speaker 1: up my continuity to just cut up. I will be
Speaker 1: taking my legal counsel and attorneys on pressing charges on
Speaker 1: the individuals that jumped to me. According to the warrant,
Speaker 1: witnesses told police officers that Brown was a shooter, and
Speaker 1: two shell cases were found at the scene. Brown was
Speaker 1: unarmed at the time he was detained, but the men
Speaker 1: he allegedly punched during the altar told police that Brown
Speaker 1: began to run toward him with firearms after the fight
Speaker 1: had already been broken up, and shot at him twice. So, guys,
Speaker 1: all I can say is this, George, You're right, Antonio,
Speaker 1: sell the jewelry. You need the money. Period, point blank.
Speaker 1: Anthony Hundson, correct, incarceration.
Speaker 4: Does no good. Go ahead, George, Yeah, you know, And
Speaker 4: they said, you know, Jered, the people that you run with,
Speaker 4: a lot of these guys especially have these emotional and problems.
Speaker 4: They surround themselves with a lot of yes people. Jared,
Speaker 4: whatever you do is okay with us, and you are
Speaker 4: the man.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: That's probably one of his problems been with his career,
Speaker 4: that he's always surrounded people with those kinds of people,
Speaker 4: and they've always pumped him up. And now, Jared, they
Speaker 4: may be ending his career because nobody was standing around
Speaker 4: him to tell him the right thing to do.
Speaker 1: They said, careers over, George may be ending his days
Speaker 1: as he free before waiting exactly. So, guys, let's get
Speaker 1: our caller on before we get to our next break.

Speaker 1: Hopefully coach Casey'll be calling in in about two minutes,
Speaker 1: so we've got a very very short segment. The only
Speaker 1: thing I've got to say is, George, your opinion on
Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs. You haven't been on with us. What
Speaker 1: do you think? Two to one Indiana?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's been a very exciting playoff game.
Speaker 4: I've loved it all the way through. And one of
Speaker 4: the things I said, I said, I thought that the
Speaker 4: point guards would decide the series, but I didn't realize
Speaker 4: that DOWNA was bringing a point guard off the bench,
Speaker 4: it might be a more detrimental than anybody that we saw.
Speaker 4: And so I've been enjoying it. Yeah, I really have.
Speaker 4: I thought it's been one of the better series that
Speaker 4: we've seen in a long time. And I really like
Speaker 4: the ball movement. I like the pace of the game.
Speaker 4: I like the shooting. I like how they being diverse
Speaker 4: in taking jump shots and driving and dunking it. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's just really made it an exciting game. And the
Speaker 4: defense being played. I I have really enjoyed it. You,
Speaker 4: I ain't gonna tell a lite.
Speaker 1: Agree Answery, What do you think Game four tonight?
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a tough one, obvious. All can say
Speaker 3: is for the Pacers, this is their opportunity to take
Speaker 3: advantage of that home court while they have it to
Speaker 3: go up three to one in the series going on
Speaker 3: the road back to OKCE.
Speaker 8: In Game five.
Speaker 3: If they win Game four to nights take a little
Speaker 3: pressure off the shoulders. If they go back to OKAC
Speaker 3: and it's a tie to two series, I think I
Speaker 3: think Indiana still has the advantage night being at home,
Speaker 3: came off that big momentum win, and I think they've
Speaker 3: got a defensive scheme that they have figured out Okay
Speaker 3: see a little bit better than OKCE has figured out Indiana.
Speaker 3: They didn't do the best job in SGA last night,
Speaker 3: but I give them credit for one thing. They did
Speaker 3: wear him down to where he was dead with about
Speaker 3: eight and a half minutes to go in.
Speaker 2: The fourth quarter.
Speaker 3: He scored and still got to his spots, but defensively
Speaker 3: he was such a non factor because he was tired.
Speaker 3: He had to work and overdribble for every shot he
Speaker 3: got to. They wore him down in the shot clock.
Speaker 3: They put multiple defenders in different bodies and sizes on
Speaker 3: him to kind of make it difficult and give him
Speaker 3: different looks than just going against the same defender all game,
Speaker 3: which I do like from the coaching of Rick Carlisle.
Speaker 3: That's a big differential right now, and I hate to
Speaker 3: say it, chet Holmgrim has got to be one of
Speaker 3: the worst players.
Speaker 4: In the NBA Finals right now.
Speaker 3: I've seen in a while for him to.
Speaker 1: Be one of their main guys.
Speaker 3: He is so bad that he's putting in situations where
Speaker 3: it's hard to with him in the games. And they
Speaker 3: can't play Hartenstein as much because Hartenstein is not a
Speaker 3: scoring threat at all, So they're playing out there with
Speaker 3: only with pretty much no big Myles Turner will still
Speaker 3: go out there and get rebounds, will put Thomas Brian
Speaker 3: in sometimes of stressed before. They have a couple of
Speaker 3: different options that the Pacers like to look for the
Speaker 3: big man in different styles of offense that they want
Speaker 3: to run. But right now, Hartenstein I still think is
Speaker 3: their best reading founder, their best passer.
Speaker 1: Great, we've got to get to break. We got Coach
Speaker 1: Casey on the line. Guys, We're gonna go to break
Speaker 1: when we come back. We come back with the one
Speaker 1: and only Dwayne Casey, Union County, University of Kentucky graduate
Speaker 1: and one of the best head coaches in the NBA
Speaker 1: the last twenty years. We'll talk y'all after the break.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to EVE Sports Radio at seven forty five.
Speaker 1: We have the one and only Dwayne Casey. He's one
Speaker 1: of the only true people that I've spoke to that
Speaker 1: I know. Twenty eighteen NBA Coach of the Year, Dwayne,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: How are you thank you, Jave. Great to be here
Speaker 2: and doing well and join these finals.
Speaker 4: Great to have you back.
Speaker 1: Oh, without a doubt, great to have you back. Of
Speaker 1: course I told everyone at the beginning of the show
Speaker 1: in yesterday that you worked with frontoffs of the Pistons,
Speaker 1: been the head coach of three NBA franchises, been Coach
Speaker 1: of the Year in twenty eighteen, in great accolades. Your
Speaker 1: opinion about this year's NBA and start with Tom Timbodeau.
Speaker 1: What are you think is going on with the league?
Speaker 2: Well, it's one of those things where it was unfortunately
Speaker 2: a profession Jerry that you know, you it's one of
Speaker 2: the hazards of our profession. You know you they say
Speaker 2: that when you signed the contract, the only thing you
Speaker 2: didn't put on there is the end date. You know.
Speaker 4: It's very hue uh.
Speaker 2: You know Pops out there that's going to be with
Speaker 2: one franchise. He and x Boster has had a lot
Speaker 2: of a long, long longevity in their situation. But you know, again,
Speaker 2: kids did a great job. Felt like in New York,
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's a lot behind the scenes that came
Speaker 2: about that we don't know about. But I've known Tibbs
Speaker 2: for a long time, coach against him and all of
Speaker 2: his stops. He's you know in Chicago, Minnesota, and now
Speaker 2: in New York. Uh so, and he's done a good
Speaker 2: job everywhere he's been. He took his team to the
Speaker 2: conference finals, uh and one shot away from you know,
Speaker 2: making a different series. So uh, it's very for our profession,
Speaker 2: you know, being a coach and our profession for a
Speaker 2: long time. It's unfortunate for our profession for a guy
Speaker 2: like Tis who's done a great job. Uh he they
Speaker 2: beat us in the first round and an exciting series.
Speaker 1: Hartl School ay right.
Speaker 2: It's one of those things. This experience for our team
Speaker 2: this year is hard to find. I mean, you can't
Speaker 2: put a price on the experience that that we had Jerry.
Speaker 2: As far as for Kate Cunningham to get those you know,
Speaker 2: six games in the playoffs, that's really going to pay
Speaker 2: dividends for our entire team down the road. Because you
Speaker 2: can talk about the playoffs, you can prepare for it,
Speaker 2: you can watch video, but until you out there on
Speaker 2: the court in that atmosphere, as you know, Jerry being
Speaker 2: a former player. Uh, it's one of those things that
Speaker 2: it's a different feel, a different atmosphere. And then this
Speaker 2: year I've really felt like the officials call the playoffs
Speaker 2: a lot more. Uh, we're more liberal with letting guys play, Uh,
Speaker 2: you know, letting letting it be more physical, bumping, grinding.
Speaker 2: So that aspect of it also what was a different
Speaker 2: difference for every team in the league, and that gave us,
Speaker 2: you know a lot of experience watching our guys doing
Speaker 2: the individual workouts.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: Uh, they have a different pep in their step right
Speaker 2: now after going through what they did in the playoff.
Speaker 2: So and then New York went on to beat Boston,
Speaker 2: you know, went on to move up, and then they
Speaker 2: ran into a tough, tough Indiana team. So one of
Speaker 2: those things that's unfortunate. But that's the great thing about
Speaker 2: our league. You know, teams like Indiana come along and
Speaker 2: have a great, great season.
Speaker 1: No they have. You're talking about the Pacers and the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and of course your Pistons did have a tremendous year
Speaker 1: forty four and thirty eight. It looked like they were
Speaker 1: going to defeat the Knicks. There were a few tough
Speaker 1: calls that you did not speak about, but great learning experience.
Speaker 1: Great learning experience for your players. And I'm really looking
Speaker 1: forward to watching the Detroit Pistons next year. Let's move
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. We have now got the Indiana Pacers,
Speaker 1: which the college temple, a full court press, picking you up,
Speaker 1: working you ninety four feet, wearing down, using the bench.
Speaker 1: Have you seen a team use their bench this much?
Speaker 1: This steep into the NBA playoffs as the Pacers.
Speaker 2: Jerry's the fortunate thing. I worked for Rick as an
Speaker 2: assistant coach for three years. Won the championship in twenty eleven,
Speaker 2: so I witnessed it first hand how he utilies it.
Speaker 2: And Rick has a sixth sense, you know. And I
Speaker 2: hate to go back in time. In twenty eleven, we
Speaker 2: had JJ Burrea who helped us win a series. He
Speaker 2: helped us beat the Lakers. Paigestarkivich didn't play for US,
Speaker 2: so the last thirty games of the season came in
Speaker 2: coach Jackson. Phil Jackson played zone against US in two
Speaker 2: thousand and eleven when he was with the Lakers. Paige
Speaker 2: Stwakovich came in and won a game versus their zone.
Speaker 2: So and he was like the you know, eleventh of
Speaker 2: twelfth man on our bench. So Rick has a sixth
Speaker 2: sense and it's the same thing he's doing in Indiana
Speaker 2: now of plucking a guy off the bench at the
Speaker 2: right time, in the right situation. Who really, you said,
Speaker 2: why is he putting them in the game. And then
Speaker 2: this young man comes up and really has an impact
Speaker 2: on winning. I thought Obi Topping the other night had
Speaker 2: an impact on winning. TJ won the first half for
Speaker 2: him the other night, and he came in with three
Speaker 2: freight from the field and four for four you know
Speaker 2: from the free throw line, and did a great job,
Speaker 2: had two big steals of snapping back on the bounce
Speaker 2: plate the bounce, so his hustle plays made an impact.
Speaker 2: Young man Ben Johnson uh came I'm sorry. Ben Shephard
Speaker 2: came in and did a great job off the defensively,
Speaker 2: like you said, picking picking up full court. And I
Speaker 2: really thought they wore Sga down by picking him up
Speaker 2: full court. But again it's the right personnel. And then
Speaker 2: we haven't spoken about Ben Benedict Mathern. Ben Matherns, Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: so every every button he pushed coming off the bench
Speaker 2: really came in and did a great job for them,
Speaker 2: and but Rick is he has a history of doing that,
Speaker 2: and he did that with Dallas when we won the
Speaker 2: championship in twenty eleven, and he's doing that in front
Speaker 2: of my eyes right now against a great, great, OKAYC team.
Speaker 1: My son's got a question, Anthony, He's on with me.
Speaker 1: He's got a question for you, Anthony as coach, k
Speaker 1: hey you more?
Speaker 3: How you doing, missus Casey?
Speaker 1: Hey?
Speaker 4: How you doing?
Speaker 2: Anthony?
Speaker 3: I'm doing fantastic.
Speaker 8: So one of the questions is I kind of had
Speaker 8: in my mind, even back in your coaching era, in
Speaker 8: a situation like this, He've kind of seen how the
Speaker 8: Pacers matchup and guard SGA. If you were game playing
Speaker 8: for SGA, how would you try to guard and contain him.
Speaker 3: In the finals.
Speaker 2: That is a great question. One. I think he's a
Speaker 2: young man that you can't give different looks to. You know,
Speaker 2: I've watched him I was coaching in Toronto, watched him
Speaker 2: grow up as a young kid. He's a smart basketball player,
Speaker 2: high IQ. So if you give him the same look
Speaker 2: every time, and that's what what Indiana's doing a great
Speaker 2: job of right now, You've got to give him different
Speaker 2: body sizes. You have to put a nim hard on him.
Speaker 2: You have to put a shepherd on him, you have
Speaker 2: to put a bigger body on him on you know,
Speaker 2: as far as coming down the floor. And then once
Speaker 2: he gets in that half court area, you know he
Speaker 2: you know, he's going to use his shoulder to bump
Speaker 2: you off, and you got to get a rhythm for that.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And then too, another thing I think is very effective
Speaker 2: and with now, if you notice every time he goes
Speaker 2: to that left side and turns his back, Indiana's running
Speaker 2: a second defender to him to double team him. And
Speaker 2: that's something that that that throws him off. Because really, Anthony,
Speaker 2: that's the basically the only thing you can do to
Speaker 2: slow him down. You're not going to stop a young
Speaker 2: man as Sga. My philosophy would be, you know, let's
Speaker 2: make him work for every point he gets. I thought
Speaker 2: he wore down as the game went on. He started
Speaker 2: walking around. I think I thought Indiana had a couple
Speaker 2: of hustle plays because he was walking back into to play.
Speaker 2: Indiana gets the offensive rebound. So that's one thing you
Speaker 2: hope to do against a great player at like SGA.
Speaker 2: He had twenty or twenty four points or whatever it was.
Speaker 1: And the script player you're Marke dan All and you're
Speaker 1: coaching SGA and all right, all right, Dwayne, I was
Speaker 1: losing you. Okay, can you hear me everyone here? Okay, great, yeah,
Speaker 1: I hear you now. Yes, I want to flip the script.
Speaker 1: You are the head coach of OKAC. Mark Danat has
Speaker 1: the young man bringing them on ninety four feet under pressure,
Speaker 1: planning forty plus minutes a game, asking him to beat
Speaker 1: people seventy feet and score it. What would you do
Speaker 1: to be more Michael Jordan more Kobe Bryant like Phil
Speaker 1: Jackson did, receiving the ball in the elbow on the
Speaker 1: big box at the top of the key with a
Speaker 1: live dribble. What would you do to get the ball
Speaker 1: out of his hands, to let him receive it where
Speaker 1: he could be the assassin that is, and not the
Speaker 1: workhorse that they've made.
Speaker 2: Well again, that's the hard thing about the the playoffs, Jerry,
Speaker 2: is you know that got them how many games? If
Speaker 2: they won sixty eight games? I know they're in a
Speaker 2: word out situation. You have to find ways to get
Speaker 2: him rest. You have longer timeouts, you have you know,
Speaker 2: ABC timeouts or very very long at this time of
Speaker 2: year in the playoffs, so you have to depend on that.
Speaker 2: And then too you have to find another initial ball
Speaker 2: handler you got and that's where they've struggled, and that's
Speaker 2: I would say, if they had one weakness in their roster,
Speaker 2: they don't have another true, true backup point guard. Now
Speaker 2: you can tread water with a guy like Jalen Williams
Speaker 2: can bring it up, Cason Wallace can bring it up,
Speaker 2: and tread Water Isaiah Joe alex Caruso can bring it up.
Speaker 2: But for the most part, Shay Alexander and there's the
Speaker 2: main initiator on the offense. But somehow, some way, you've
Speaker 2: got to help help someone else to bring it up.
Speaker 2: Let him run down to the corner of rest and
Speaker 2: then flash to the elbow, as you said, a flash
Speaker 2: up on the weak side to get it because they
Speaker 2: are draped all over that young man. And like you said,
Speaker 2: it's a fifteen round bout and by the twelve thirteen,
Speaker 2: fourteenth round he is dragging I don't care who you are,
Speaker 2: and doing as much work exactly as high as usage
Speaker 2: rate that he as he has. They struggle, so they've
Speaker 2: got to find a secondary ball handle to bring it
Speaker 2: up and give him a rest to make him more effective,
Speaker 2: especially in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: Dwayne, I appreciate you like always, Thank you for calling
Speaker 1: in the Esports Radio. We'll talk next week and make
Speaker 1: sure you're watching the US Open because I am Dwayne
Speaker 1: love you. Take care Esports Radio. We're out, have a
Speaker 1: great weekend. Talk to you on Monday. God willing, Bye
Speaker 1: bye
