Speaker 3: Kevin, all right, yeah, I mean I think we should
Speaker 3: just keep going on this uh Luca thing. We have
Speaker 3: some Luca audio here in a little bit. One thing
Speaker 3: I thought about that entire game was very interesting and
Speaker 3: it is the whole dynamic of the energy of the
Speaker 3: place kind of did kind of die down a little bit,
Speaker 3: and the Mavericks like stayed in it. And then what's
Speaker 3: amazing through all of this is the Mavericks clutched to
Speaker 3: play in Spot last night.
Speaker 4: It's huge.
Speaker 3: They were able to tweet about it this morning. Yep,
Speaker 3: so they're playing. This game will be next Wednesday, I believe, yes,
Speaker 3: against the Sacramento Kings. The only question is if that
Speaker 3: game will be in Dallas or in Sacramento.
Speaker 1: The likelihood is I haven't seen the percentages. I'm guessing
Speaker 1: it's about seventy eight percent that's going to be in Sacramento.
Speaker 3: It's not good on it being a home game now,
Speaker 3: but you beat Toronto tomorrow night and then who is Sunday?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have at Memphis.
Speaker 1: You basically you basically need to win out and Sacramento
Speaker 1: needs to lose out in order. And Sacramento's final game
Speaker 1: of the year is against Phoenix. Oh no, yeah right, yeah.
Speaker 2: So I just want this season to be over and
Speaker 2: I just want the Maps to weat the best draft
Speaker 2: pick they can. This season has been brutal, but I
Speaker 2: want this playoff game for one reason and one reason only,
Speaker 2: the play in or any extended play at all. Because
Speaker 2: when we did the podcast or take the would you
Speaker 2: at Studio forty one, follow well really wants this, and dude,
Speaker 2: it was just listening to the conviction in his voice
Speaker 2: and I didn't realize that there was some TV things changing, so.
Speaker 1: This will be this was going to be our last
Speaker 1: playoff series ever to broadcast.
Speaker 4: So I'm rooting for that. I want I want that.
Speaker 1: In order to get that, we've got to win both
Speaker 1: play in games. So more than likely Lot We've already
Speaker 1: broadcast our last cast the Amazon Amazon. So he's going
Speaker 1: to become like Major League Baseball. Yeah, so, I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: that ship has probably sailed.
Speaker 2: Maybe not though, And that's the one like hearing the
Speaker 2: conviction in his voice when he talked about that, I
Speaker 2: was like, yeah.
Speaker 4: Man, I want this for you guys, for your broadcast.
Speaker 2: Team, and hey, if they can put a positive spin
Speaker 2: on the end of the season, that'd be great. But
Speaker 2: I do want to talk about that game. I had
Speaker 2: hoped that that game would help me find some closure
Speaker 2: and it just didn't. And to see Luca start crying
Speaker 2: watching the montage was first six and a half seasons here.
Speaker 2: That gutted me, and that I know that gutted the Metroplex.
Speaker 2: And it's one thing you part ways with a guy
Speaker 2: and he's like, if you my life's better now looking
Speaker 2: at me on the beach, you know whatever, But the
Speaker 2: guy's devastated and crying on the bench.
Speaker 4: It just made it even harder.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was intense, man, I didn't expect that. And
Speaker 1: I think the other thing about it is that, by
Speaker 1: the way, originally it was a three minute video.
Speaker 2: How long was it two minutes? Oh my god, it
Speaker 2: was a minute cut from it too.
Speaker 3: You notice there's not a lot of highlights of Luca
Speaker 3: in a mavas Jersey just dominating. I mean, it was
Speaker 3: a lot of here's some euro ball and here's walking
Speaker 3: into the but it was you know, it.
Speaker 1: Was the shot over Gobert. I mean, it was the
Speaker 1: signature moments. It was the shot in the bubble, it
Speaker 1: was the moment, you know, they had his celebration when
Speaker 1: when they came back from nine points down in thirty
Speaker 1: three seconds to and that was at the time the
Speaker 1: only sixty point twenty rebound, ten assists triple double in
Speaker 1: NBA history. So they they did that, but they were
Speaker 1: they were trying to tell the whole story and I
Speaker 1: think it's very and they were also trying to make
Speaker 1: sure they ended it with the thank you Luca and Slovenian. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I thought it was very interesting that they leaned
Speaker 1: in on he came here as a boy, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: that's that's a big part of the storyline for a
Speaker 1: lot of people. Right, They didn't they I don't think
Speaker 1: they did anything to pull back on anything. I think
Speaker 1: they leaned in on every emotional aspect of it. And
Speaker 1: that's an important part to Luca too. Is like the
Speaker 1: moment in the video where the little girl hugs his
Speaker 1: arm like that. If you for the people that are
Speaker 1: out there going well, y'all tried to censor this and
Speaker 1: do that and do that, man, I would say watch
Speaker 1: that video and tell me that again. If anything, that
Speaker 1: just probably made people feel worse. But what they were
Speaker 1: trying to do was honor Luca the best way possible.
Speaker 1: And the people that made the video very much love Luca.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And dude, did you see the part that because said
Speaker 2: made him tear up the most? Was this shot over Gobertt. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was like if we were underdogs and everything. I
Speaker 2: love that it made him tear up that you know
Speaker 2: we're going to the finals, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I was seriously as it was getting super emotional
Speaker 1: then and we'll get back into the Luke audio later,
Speaker 1: but I was seriously sitting there thinking there's no way
Speaker 1: he's going to be able to have a good game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but man, and did he have a good game?
Speaker 4: All right?
